I do not own Naruto and I don't plan to in the future. I do, though, own this fanfiction and original characters in it.

Third Unmei: Meeting the Parents
"Um, how…how will we communicate?" Hinata asked the question that was on both her and Naruto's mind.
"Ah, yes. You will use chakra to send your thoughts to each other. To do so you must make a physical link with each other and then send your chakra into the other. Go ahead and try." The Hokage responded understandingly. Naruto then jumped into Hinata's jacket and got comfortable.
"Um, okay." Hinata said hesitantly. 'Um, Naruto-kun can you hear me?' No response. 'Um, Naruto-kun.'
'Oh, sorry I was deciding something' Naruto responded out of his daze. Naruto was deciding whether or not to tell Hinata that he loves her.
'What was it?' Hinata asked innocently, not knowing it was about her.
'You won't hate me right.' Naruto questioned hesitantly.
'I could never hate you Naruto-kun.' Hinata responded cheerfully.
'Um, okay. Hinata-chan I… I love you.' Naruto said quickly hoping he wouldn't get hurt.
'He loves me. I can't believe it. I'm so happy.' Hinata thought, forgetting to disconnect the chakra link. She began to cry tears of joy.
Naruto heard her thoughts but than thought he did something wrong when she began to cry. 'Hinata-chan don't cry, I'm sorry if I did something wrong. Just please don't cry.'
'No, Naruto-kun you did nothing wrong. You made my wish come true.' Hinata said as she wiped her tears away.
'So Hinata-chan would you like to go to eat. It's just I haven't eaten all day.' Naruto asked sheepishly out of embarrassment.
'I'd love to Naruto-kun.' Hinata said kindly because she would just enjoy being with Naruto, plus she was hungry herself.
'Yatta, Ichamaru Ramen here we come' Naruto yelled in his mind.
So the two left the Hokage to finish his paperwork, Naruto decided that when he became Hokage that he would hire a secretary to do some paperwork. Along the way to the ramen stand Hinata and Naruto met up with fellow classmates. The first two were a bickering Ino and Sakura. "Hey Hinata-chan, who's this cute little guy?" Ino said as she noticed Hinata and the baby kit.
"Yeah, what's it's name?" Sakura said as she tried to pet Naruto but got snapped at.
Hinata giggled at Naruto's antics. 'I am neither small nor cute' He said to Hinata with a prideful look on his face. "This is Naruto-kun." Hinata explained.
"Aw, that's so cute. You named him after your crush." Both girls said at the same time.
'Let see how cute I am when I get bigger' Naruto said to Hinata with mischievous tone. Hinata only laughed at the poor kit's antics. "No, you both don't get it. This IS Naruto-kun." She corrected them.
"What!?" Ino and Sakura yelled in unison. "How the hell did Naruto-baka change into such a cute animal?" Sakura said disbelievingly.
"Yeah, that's not possible he should have changed into a toad." Ino agreed. This earned a glare from Hinata and a growl from Naruto.
"Naruto-kun is very cute, mind you." Hinata said aggressively. "He's kind, hard working, funny, inspiring, and most of all: he loves me." Hinata let it slip in her excitement. Her face was now bright red.
"What! When did he confess to you!?" Ino and Sakura asked giddily. "We won't let you leave until you tell us."
"He confessed a little while ago. But Naruto's getting hungry so we better leave." Hinata said shyly as she tried to walk past the two.
"Oh, no you don't." They both said as the grabbed Hinata by the shoulders.
'Tell them Sasuke-teme's around the corner.' Naruto said mischievously. "Um, Naruto-kun says he can smell Sasuke around the corner." Hinata said frantically. This took the girls attention off of Naruto and Hinata and on to finding Sasuke. 'Hehehe, this will be great. They're going be sooo pissed when they find out I lied.' Naruto told Hinata. Just then they felt a spike of killer intent around the corner. 'I think that's our cue to leave.' Hinata said as she turned around and ran off. On their way Hinata and Naruto ran in to more classmates, and had to explain that the fox was Naruto every time.
Eventually the two made it to the ramen stand. Naruto had been thinking he was going to starve to death from all the delays. Hinata sat at the stand with Naruto on her lap.
"What can I get for you miss?" A voice came from behind the stand.
"Um, one second please." Hinata said quickly. 'Um, Naruto-kun what do you want?' Hinata asked. 'Two pork ramen and two beef.' Naruto responded while he took into consideration his small body. 'Oh yeah, tell oji-san that it's me Naruto.' Naruto quickly added. "Okay, First Naruto-kun told me to tell you that the little fox right here is him."
"What happened now, Naruto? Get mixed up with the wrong people." The stand owner said jokingly. "But since you are my favorite customer I'll put this on the house." 'He can't eat that much as a fox so it won't kill me'
"Okay then, Naruto-kun would like two pork and two beef and I would like one shrimp." Hinata said politely.
"Coming right up. Ayame-chan you heard them." The stand owner said to his daughter.
"Okay, Teuchi-otou-san." Ayame said back.
In a few minutes the two were eating there ramen. Naruto stuck his whole face in the ramen bowl. Somehow the two finished at the same time. Hinata began to giggle at Naruto. 'What's so funny?' Naruto questioned innocently. 'Well you look too cute. I mean you're drench in ramen broth. Looks like you'll need a bath.' Hinata merrily responded. 'Yatta. I get a bath from my lovely Hinata-chan.' Naruto cheered excitingly. Soon the two paid the owner and went on their way.
Eventually the two made it back to Hinata's house. 'Wow Hinata-chan I can't believe you live here. This place is huge.' Naruto said with an awed voice, 'It's not that big is it? I mean it houses both branches.' Hinata responded meekly. 'Well its huge compared to what I seen, namely my apartment.' Naruto claimed as the two entered the front gates. The two were met by Hinata's parents.
"Hinata where have you been?" Hinata's father, Hiashi, said with harsh but caring voice.
"Yes Hinata-chan, we have been worried about you. Why are you home so late?" Hinata's mother, Hikari, asked tenderly.
"Sorry Oka-san, Otou-san, I was spending time with Naruto-kun. I guess I hadn't noticed how late it was until we arrived here." Hinata explained to her parents hoping to be forgiven.
"It's okay we understand. Speaking of Naruto-kun, where is he now?" Hikari said as Hiashi and her own face turn from stern to understanding, they knew how much she liked the boy and thought it was good that they would spend time together.
"He's right here in my jacket." Hinata said as she took Naruto out of his jacket.
"Oh, sorry I hadn't noticed. Well Naruto-kun the Hokage has informed us of what happened and we are pleased to have you, especially Hinata." Hikari explained with welcoming smile.
"Yes, Naruto you are welcome at any time." Hiashi said while giving Naruto a glare saying 'If you hurt Hinata I will kill you.' Naruto shuddered under his piercing glare.
"Well Oka-san, Otou-san, I have to give Naruto a bath and then get to bed. So if you will excuse me.' Hinata said politely as she bowed to her parents. Then the two walked to the bath house in silence. As soon as they got there Hinata set Naruto on the floor and began to undress forgetting that Naruto could see her. Naruto promptly turned around as soon as Hinata removed her jacket and he realized what she was doing. Most of Naruto told him to take a look while he had a chance. A small part of him told him not to and if he did Hinata would hate him. He chose to listen to the small part to the regret of his other will. 'I'm not a pervert' Naruto chanted in his mind to keep self-control. Hinata had only realized that Naruto was still there by the time she had removed all her clothes. She then quickly grabbed a towel as her face turn bright red. After she made sure the towel covered all of her womanly features she picked up Naruto and went into the bath.
'Hinata-chan, your parents are really nice.' Naruto complemented the shy dark haired girl. 'Yeah, I guess your right. I never really thought of it though. Say, Naruto-kun, what are your parents like?' Hinata innocently asked not knowing Naruto never had parent to love him. 'I don't know. I've been an orphan my whole life so I never met my parents.' Naruto responded like it was an everyday thing. 'Plus it's no like I think about it.' Naruto lied when he saw the distraught look on Hinata's face. 'No, Naru-kun you're wrong. No one should ever be alone like you have and I'm sorry that it took so long for me to be with you, but now that I am, I will never leave alone again.' Hinata burst out in her excitement.
Naruto was a little taken back by Hinata's outburst but then became more relaxed. 'Thanks Hina-chan. Beside Iruka-sensei you're the only person to be this kind.' Naruto said while trying to hold back his tears, while a continuous whine could be heard from his chest. 'That's what love is.' Hinata said with a soothing tone. 'Really?' Naruto said like an innocent child that was afraid of being lied to. 'Really.' Hinata said as she picked Naruto up and began to cradle him in her arm. Eventually Naruto whine had faded and he began to purr. Hinata couldn't resist giggling. 'Is that a purr I just heard?' She asked teasingly. 'So what if it was? I was really comfortable you know.' Naruto stated defensively. 'Nothings wrong with it I just thought it was cute and adorable.' Hinata said teasingly again. 'Okay now that isn't good. I can't be cute and adorable if I'm going to be the next Hokage. What would my enemies think of me?' Naruto said with proud and dignifies tone.
'Oi, Hina-chan is it just me or is it really, really hot in here.' Naruto said as his body temperature began to rise. 'I don't think it's too hot, but you fell like you are burning.' Hinata said as she opened her eyes to look at Naruto (she had her eyes closed because she was relaxing). When she opened her eye she saw blue flames engulfing Naruto's body but not burning him. 'Naru-kun you're on fire, but aren't burning' Hinata said with perplexed tone. Naruto opened his eyes also and looked at him self. 'Ah! Shit! Someone put me out.' Naruto yelled as he got out of Hinata's grasp. He knew he wasn't burning but he still didn't like the fact that he was on fire. Soon they would get their answer.
Suddenly Naruto began to float into the air. Hinata tried with all her might to keep Naruto on the ground but couldn't. Soon he was hovering just out Hinata's reach above the bath. Suddenly the flames began to grow at an alarming rate, and then a bright light flashed. After Hinata was able to see again she saw Naruto on the floor but he looked different. Naruto had gotten bigger, about the size of a lion, and he no longer had the traits of kit but more that of young fox that was between a baby and adult. The most noticeable change beside size was the third long tail behind his body. Hinata ran up and hugged him. 'I was so worried. I didn't want you to leave again.' Hinata said as soon as she was touching her beloved.
"I'm alright Hina-chan," Came an animalistic voice from the figure she was holding. "But I might not be if you don't loosen your grip."
"You can speak now, too!" Hinata said excitedly, not that she minded being close to her love, as she loosened her grip.
"Whoa you're right. I didn't notice but what do you mean by 'too'?" Naruto said not noticing his own changes. He felt like an idiot having to ask about what happened but he really couldn't tell.
"Well you've gotten bigger and you've gotten another tail." Hinata explained timidly but not stuttering. 'Why are you getting shy again? You've been with Naru-kun all day. Get a hold of your self Hinata.' Hinata encouraged herself.
"Nani? Another tail?" Naruto asked disbelievingly, and Hinata nodded. "Yatta! One step closer to being normal." Naruto shouted, even though he didn't know how long it would take. Naruto said as he began to bounce around the bath. After he calmed down he looked toward Hinata then immediately turned around. Naruto nose began to trickle down blood. In front of him was a naked Hinata with water tickling down her every curve. No even though he didn't see all of her, he had seen enough to get a little flushed. "Um…Hina-chan…your towel.'' Naruto said as before he dipped his head in the water to get rid of the blood. 'Not that I wouldn't mind staring at your beautiful, glistening naked body, but I don't think your parent would like that.' Naruto thought to himself as he wore perverted smile as he fantasized some inappropriate things concerning Hinata and himself (He is fourteen after all).
"What?" Hinata said before she realized what he was talking about. Then she looked down and sure enough, there was no towel. "Kyaaa." She screamed as she got up and picked up her towel. Her face was now a red as a cheery. "Um…it's alright to turn around now Naru-kun." Hinata said with a clearly embarrassed tone. Naruto hesitantly turned around, just to make sure. 'Well that isn't much better, but at least I won't get a nosebleed.' He thought as he tried not to stare at the curves of Hinata's body. The towel clung to her wet form making every curve visible for Naruto to drool over.
"Naru-kun did you see anything?" Hinata asked with a scared voice and a flushed face. 'If Naru-kun saw anything I think I might faint.' She thought as she went over what Naruto might answer.
"Hina-chan I'm not going to lie. You have a beautiful body and you shouldn't hide it." Naruto said as he thought 'Well at least I did answer the question, just not directly. If I saw her body her parents would kill me.'
"W-what? N-N-Naru-kun…I don't…I don't think my parent would like me being naked in front of you." Hinata said with ferocious blush when she misunderstood Naruto. 'Does that mean he saw me naked? I'm so embarrassed, but he called me beautiful so at least I should be glad. Was Naruto having those kind of thoughts? I mean his that age.'
"What? Oh god. That's not what I meant. That probably sounded totally perverted." Naruto said as he thought of how to make it sound un-perverted. "Okay, what I meant was that you should where clothes that don't hide your figure. You really are beautiful and you should be proud of it." 'Yes, got off the topic of me seeing her naked.' Naruto congratulated himself for his ability to sidetrack people.
"T-Thank you, Naru-kun." Hinata managed to stutter from her embarrassed state. 'That only made me more embarrassed.' After that the two sat in an awkward silence until Hinata decided to break it. "Well, I think it is time to get to bed. I'll get changed first and then I'll come back and dry you with some towels. You can wait by the door."
"Okay, that sounds good to me." Naruto said as he got out of the water and walked to the door and then lied down again.
After a few moments Hinata came back with some towels but to her and Naruto's surprise he was already dry. So, the two left the bath house happily. As they got out of the bath Naruto laid on the floor. "No need to let my Hina-chan walk around." Naruto said to Hinata as he gestured to his back.
'Well since he will call me Hina-chan I will call him Naru-chan.' "Thank you Naru-chan" Hinata said slightly teasingly because she knew Naruto would like the nickname.
"Oi, Oi, Oi. No Naru-chan, it's too adorable and cute. Not befitting a future Hokage." Naruto objected. 'I can't have my enemies calling me that, plus Sasuke-teme would die out of laughter.' Naruto thought to himself.
"Fine then, no Hina-chan for you." Hinata said rejecting his objection with a fake anger. She was about to get off of Naruto when he spoke.
"Fine, fine, how about Naru-kun, it's not as bad" Naruto said as he began to pout, and secured Hinata to him with his tails. 'If Sasuke-teme hears of this I'll be the laughing stock of the whole class.' After this thought he stopped in confusion, he didn't know where to go.
"Okay." She responded. "What's wrong Naru-kun?" Hinata asked because of the sudden stop.
"Well…um…I have no idea where to go?" Naruto said as he felt like an idiot just walking a round aimlessly.
"Oh, that's okay I'll just give you directions on the way there." Hinata said understandingly with a sweet smile.
"Okay then I'll just walk and you give the directions." Naruto cheered as he started walking again. It took them five minutes to walk from the bath house to Hinata's room. "Hina-chan, I know you may not think your house is huge, but it took us at least five minutes walking to get to your room which clearly makes this house huge. No objections. I don't care if houses a whole clan." He complained as Hinata open the door to her room.
"Well if you don't want to take so long you run instead of walk." Hinata teased as she got off of Naruto's back, and proceeded to set up her bed next to her sisters. Hanabi, Hinata's sister was already fast asleep by the time the two entered the room.
"Okay then, I will make it a personal goal to find a quicker way to your room." Naruto responded proudly. After Hinata set up her bed Naruto laid down next to it. "Or you could make you room closer to the bath house."
"But to do that I would have to kick someone else out of their room and that wouldn't be nice." She responded truthfully as she lied down on her bed.
"Well when you become the head someone will gladly give their room to the head." Naruto responded justifying taking someone else's room.
"You won't give up will you. Plus you probably won't be living in my house by that time." Hinata chided teasingly as she cuddled next to Naruto.
"Why not. I'm sure the head of the great Hyūga clan would be glad to have the Hokage living at their mansion." Naruto chuckled as he made himself more comfortable. "Well…Hinata…does this mean that we are boyfriend and girlfriend now? I mean we love each other right." Naruto questioned with an awkward voice.
'I've been so excited that I haven't thought about that.' Hinata thought to herself. "Yeah, I guess it does." Hinata agreed, leaving a slightly awkward silence.
"I love you, Hina-chan. Sweet dreams." Naruto said tenderly, since he could feel Hinata dozing off against him.
"I love you too, Naru-kun." She said as she began to get sleepier.
Their final thoughts before going into dreamland were the same. 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you.'
