Me: Okay so I had major writers block for this one, but as you can see that was cured big time. This is my longest songfic so far and I am pretty proud of it.
Naruto: This song fic idea has been brought to you by NaruHinaFanboy!
Hinata:Special thanks to Sexy-Nerd-of-Konoha for helping me decide how to approach this. :-)
Don't Matter
By: Akon
Naruto nervously held a small box in his hand as he paced his room with his best friend, Sasuke, looking at him in annoyance. "Ugh, Dobe, what is the problem? You call me over and all you have done since I got here was pace the floor! Seriously what the hell is a matter?" Sasuke yelled out in frustration. He had been there for an hour, so his outburst was understandable. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a look that was a mixture of worry and annoyance.
"Well, Teme, I called you over cause I am going to do it." Naruto replied. Naruto clutched the box with more force than before. Sasuke gave Naruto a quizzical look, so Naruto rolled his eyes. "You know what I am talking about."
"No I don't. Doesn't my confused look show that I have no idea what you are talking about?" Sasuke retorted as he pointed towards his face.
"I am gonna ask Hinata to marry me, Teme! That's what I meant!" Naruto yelled in exasperation as he flailed his arms around. Sasuke smiled at his friend. He was truly happy for Naruto. The dobe deserved to be happy. As fast as that smile appeared it disappeared.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you do realize that Hiashi is not going to go for this." Sasuke said.
"Yeah I figured, but I think he might have warmed up to me. I mean, Hinata and I have been dating for a year now…" Naruto trailed off, he knew that Hiashi did not want to see Hinata and him together.
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Naruto was now even more nervous as he approached the Hyuga Compound. He gulped but strode in with an air of confidence that only the son of the Yellow Flash could have. A Branch member that Naruto never saw before escorted him to Hiashi. Naruto was silently praying that Hinata's sweet face would pop out of one of the corners that he passed, but he knew she wouldn't. Today she was out with her team training. He came today because he knew that, but now he wished that she was here holding his hand.
The Branch member left Naruto at Hiashi's study saying that Hiashi would be right with him. Naruto took in his surroundings and sighed. He wanted to run, he really did not want to face Hiashi, but his love for Hinata kept him grounded. He was going to do this, BELIEVE IT!
Getting nervous, Kit? The Kyuubi stirred inside Naruto.
Shut the hell up! Naruto retorted. He was not in the mood to deal with the Kyuubi at all. Right now he needed to focus on Hinata, and being with her for the rest of his life. Well, that was a good thought. Naruto thought dreamily.
"Hello, Naruto-san." Hiashi greeted seriously when he finally arrived.
"H-hello, Hiashi-sama." Naruto stammered as he was jerked out of his dreaming of a life with Hinata. Hiashi sat across the table from the twenty-year-old Jonin. He poured sake into the cups that were already on the table from one of the Branch members placing them there.
"Well, what did you need to speak with me about?" Hiashi asked although he pretty much figured out what the blonde was going to ask.
"Well, Hiashi-sama, I love your daughter so very much. I love her more than life, and I am not just saying that. I really do mean it, and I will do everything in my power to make her happy. I want to be with her, to ensure her safety, to love her, so I ask you. Can I please marry your daughter?" Naruto looked at Hiashi pleadingly. He truly wanted to be with Hinata. No that's not true, he NEEDED to be with Hinata. She was the only one to truly understand him, and she was the first one to truly love him despite what was inside him. Granted now he had a fan-club ever since he saved Konoha, but they were nothing compared to Hinata.
Hiashi smiled, About time the boy asked to marry Hinata. Well, I actually like this boy, so I will give him my blessings. Just as Hiashi was about to allow Naruto to marry his daughter, the Hyuga elders barged into the room. "No way are we going to allow the Kyuubi container marry Hinata." An elderly Hyuga declared.
"Yes, Hinata is our heiress, and therefore needs to marry someone worthy of her. This orphaned brat is not worthy to marry the lowest Branch member!" an elderly woman called out. Random voiced began to say things along those lines, and Naruto just stood there and took it. He did not know what to do.
I say we kill them. They are preventing you from being with Hinata, so let us fight for your right to love shall we? Kyuubi said temptingly. Naruto could not deny the desire to annihilate everyone in the room ,save for Hiashi since that is Hinata's father, but he would not succumb to the power of the Kyuubi. He would find another way to fight to prove his worth.
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Naruto just kept on picturing Hinata in order to calm down before addressing the ignorant buffoons and their mindless drivel. He stared every single one of them down before calmly asking, "What do I have to do to get all of you to approve my marriage proposal to Hinata?"
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we'd last forever
The Hyuga elders looked at each other before one of the elderly men answered. "You will have to past some tests of ours, and if you do then we will accept your proposal as legitimate and allow Hiashi to decide if you can have his daughter. There is no way his relationship with Hinata will survive this. All the members thought. "Do you accept?"
"Of course! I will do anything to be with Hinata!" Naruto cried as if they asked the stupidest question in the world.
I feel 'em hopin' and prayin'
Things between us don't get better
The rules of the tests were simple: do not tell anyone about the tests, the tests can range from physical, mental, or emotional challenges, Naruto would not know what the test was until after he passed it and above all, the relationship between Hinata and him must still be going strong after the three weeks of testing.
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
The first test was to see how Naruto would react if a very bodacious girl began heavily flirting with him: Naruto did not even pay attention to the twenty girls the Hyuga clan sent to him. Naruto was too busy getting ready for sharing his life with Hinata (he did not doubt for a second that he was going to lose).
The second test was sending very hot guys after Hinata to see if she was loyal to Naruto and to see how Naruto dealt with jealousy. Hinata was confused by all this upfront attention she was getting from all the men, but she paid no heed. She had a gorgeous boyfriend with sun kissed hair, azure eyes, and a heart of gold. Why would she want anyone other than him? Naruto was having problems with the jealousy thanks to Kyuubi wanting to take down everyone who so much as even looked at Hinata with lust. (Kyuubi was acting up more than he normally did when guys hit on Hinata since it was back to back). All in all, Naruto passed.
As the week came to a close Hinata was getting suspicious about Naruto's behavior. He was acting so different. He was more serious and jumpy as if he was expecting something to happen at any minute. Sometimes Hinata would see Naruto covered in cuts, bruises, and his own blood even when she knew he was not training. (Yes, the tests were brutal and it is only week one).
Tellin' you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied
Week two, the Hyuga Elders sent out hired Branch Members to spread rumors about Naruto. All these rumors were only meant for Hinata to hear, so she would start doubting Naruto. Some of the rumors were that he was cheating on Hinata or that he was losing interest in her, but didn't have the heart to break up with her after being together for so long. Hinata's heart was slowly breaking with each new rumor. She did not believe the rumors, but she knew something was bothering Naruto. Every time she asked him about it he would always change the subject or tell her not to worry about it. Naruto had a secret that he was not telling her, and that hurt her. Why didn't he trust her?
What Hinata did not know was that every time she asked Naruto what he was keeping from her, it killed him. Every single fiber of his being (even the Kyuubi) wanted to tell her that he was doing this all for her. He was doing this because she was the most important person in his world. But, he couldn't otherwise; everything that he has done in the last two weeks would be for nothing. He just silently hoped that Hinata would stay with him and trust him until he could tell her.
Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no more
You don't even have to call
Even check for me at all
Because the way I been actin' lately
Has been off the wall
Especially toward you
Puttin' girls before you
And they watchin' everything I been doin'
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain't true
Ain't true
And they won't show you
How much of a queen you are to me
And why I love you baby
By week three so many tests were done that Naruto was emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. The one thing on his mind was if Hinata was going to leave him. He had been pretty weird the last couple of days. All of his friends were asking him if he was okay. Sakura kept telling him to treat Hinata better for the past three weeks otherwise she would leave him. That idea left killed him. He was working so hard to get them to be together forever; he was not about to lose to the Hyuga elders. He loves Hinata and he was not about to lose. He clenched his hands around the box in his hand. I won't lose!
Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause I got you
'Cause I got you
Oh
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause I got you
The three weeks were finally over! Naruto was thrilled! He limped over to the Hyuga compound in order to ask Hiashi for his daughter's hand in marriage, yet again. He waited in Hiashi's office, much like he did the first time he came to ask, but what was different this time was that when Hiashi came in so did the elders. Naruto and the Kyuubi growled internally. They had both come to hate the Hyuga council during the three weeks.
"Well, Naruto you passed the tests with flying colors." Hiashi said with a hint of a smile on his face. Truth be told he was silently rooting for the blonde to pass. Hiashi saw how his daughter changed for the better because of this boy, and there was no way he would be the reason for his daughter's unhappiness. Hiashi was about to say that Naruto could marry Hinata, but was cut off by the Hyuga elders.
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
"But you are too late." An elderly woman said. Hiashi and Naruto looked at the woman with confused faces on. "You see, we convinced the Hokage that this marriage would be disastrous if it is allowed. Right now, Lady Hokage will be sending papers that will forbid Naruto and Hinata from ever getting married.
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gonn' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
"WHAT!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs. Hinata who had been walking through the hallway on her way to leave for training heard Naruto's voice coming from her father's study. What could Naruto possibly be doing here? She wondered as she cracked open the door a little to see what was happening. Lucky for her she was not noticed. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU GOT TSUNADAE-SAMA TO FORBID HINATA AND I FROM GETTING MARRIED!?!" Naruto yelled while trying to keep the Kyuubi in check. Hinata was shocked beyond belief.
"Yes, I agree with Naruto-san. This is completely unfair to the boy. You gave him your tests. You abused him physically, mentally, and emotionally! He deserves to marry my daughter, and you all did say that if he passes I get to decide. I decide that Naruto and Hinata can get married." Hiashi bellowed. Hinata was dumbfounded. That was why Naruto was being all strange lately…he was trying to get approved by my clan, so he could marry me. All that pain I saw in him was caused because of me…Hinata thought as she began to sob. She could bear to have caused Naruto that much pain, and she was so happy that Naruto wanted to marry her. What made her even happier was that her father approved, but those damn elders did not.
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
The messenger from Tsunade arrived with the documents. Naruto was boiling with rage when he saw those papers, and the Kyuubi was coming dangerously close to escaping and killing everyone in the room. The elders all had a smug look on their faces as the opened the documents.
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
Naruto was thinking of ways to effectively take out everyone, except Hiashi, without alarming people of what he was doing. There was no way that he was going to lose Hinata to some documents. Hinata held her breath as the documents were being read by each clan member. Hiashi smiled as he read the documents. He cleared his throat before reading the document aloud. "'I, Lady Tsunade, hereby state that based on my understanding is that Naruto Uzumaki completed all the tests the Hyuga Clan gave him in order to prove himself worthy of marrying Hinata Hyuga. I was told to prevent this union, but honestly if the Hyuga Elders do not want their clan heiress to marry my successor, than they are a bunch of idiots. I will not forbid a marriage between two people at all. The decision is up to the parents.' There is more, but this means that Naruto can marry Hinata." Hiashi said. "I give you my blessings." Hiashi said. The Hyuga elders grumbled they were still greatly opposed to the union. Naruto smiled his infamous grin until he felt two slender arms hug him from behind.
"Hinata?" He questioned as he turned to face the woman of his dreams. She smiled with tears streaming down her face. Naruto kiss her tears away and then got down on one knee. He pulled out the little box that was his great source of comfort and goal for the past three weeks. "Hinata Hyuga, will you do me the great honor of marrying me?" Naruto asked as he opened the box to reveal a very elegant diamond ring.
"Yes, of course, Naruto!" She cried with tears of happiness streaming down her cheeks. Naruto picked her up and kissed her passionately. The couple left hand-in-hand out of the Hyuga complex in order to tell everyone of their engagement, and they are ready to start their new lives together.
