"…and Naruto-kun loves me too. He wants to marry me, Chichi-san. If you want, we'll live here for a while. But we are going to raise this child on our own. He or she will become the heir to the Hyuuga clan, but I refuse to hold them to your standards. Our child will be loved and nurtured like a normal child. They will grow up in a loving, happy home. And you will have no say in their training either. If they want to hone their fighting skills, that's their own choice. If you don't like that, you'll just have to deal with it, because I won't change my mind."

Hinata groaned and shook her head.

"I can't say that!" she exclaimed.

She wrung her hands nervously. She was in Naruto's apartment, trying to figure out how to tell her father of her pregnancy and engagement to Naruto. She cleared her throat.

"Chichi-san, I have something important to tell you. Now listen to everything I have to say before you - No, that doesn't sound right either!"

She ran a hand through her hair and took a deep breath.

"Chichi-san, I'm pregnant and I'm going to marry Naruto-kun!" She said boldly.

She moaned and buried her head in her hands. This was impossible. Maybe she should let Kurenai tell him. No, that wouldn't end well. Hinata had to tell him, but it had to be just came in, leaned against the door and sighed.

"Wow, who knew that rings were so expensive?" he mumbled to himself.

He smiled at Hinata and walked over to her. He put his hands on her shoulders and ushered her over to his bed.

"Sit down, Hinata-chan. I've got something I wanna do." he said.

Hinata forced herself to smile, despite still being anxious about telling her father the news. Naruto pulled a small box out of his back pocket and went down on one knee.

"Heh, I know we kinda already did this part, but I want to do it right." he explained

He opened the box and held it toward Hinata.

"Hinata-chan, will you marry me?" he asked.

Hinata looked at the ring. It wasn't fancy by any means. It was very simple. A small silver band and a little wite diamond in the center. It was gorgeous. Hinata picked up the bozx and craddled it in her hands. She smiled at Naruto.

"You already know my answer. Yes. Yes, I'll marry you." she said tenderly.

Naruto smiled a big cheesy smile. He took the box from Hinata and took the ring out. He gently grabbed her hand and slid the ring into place. He stared at it, smiling sadly.

"Gosh, it really doesn't do you justice. But it was the best I could do on such short notice." he said sadly.

Despite herself, Hinata felt a little hurt.

"Well, you didn't have to buy a ring right aay, Naruto-kun. YOu could have saved up more if you wanted. Besides, I think it's wonderful." she said.

Naruto looked at Hinata.

"Well I couldn't have waited long. I mean, we're going to have to get married pretty soon."

He laughed and rubbed the back of his head.

"I mean, we don't want that thing popping out inthe middle of the aisle." he joked.

Now Hinata felt really hurt. She stood up and turned away from Naruto.

" 'That thing'. Your child, that's what 'that thing' is! " she said coldly.

Naruto was shocked and a little hurt by Hinata's harsh words.

"Hey, I didn't-"

She turned around and cut him off.

"I'm sorry this thing is so inconvenient for you! I'm sorry that the happiest moment in my life didn't come with a little more notice!" she screeched.

Naruto stood up and put his hands up.

"Hey, take it easy, I was just kidding!" he said defensively.

Hinata's eyes widened.

"How can you kid at a time like this, Naruto-kun! This isn't a joke, this is our lives!"

"I know that, Hinata-chan." he said, hurt.

"I don't think you do! I'm pregnat, Naruto-kun! I'm going to have a baby! Your baby! And, unless my clan is willing to go to war, as soon as I have it I'm going to be killed!" she sceamed.

Tears were streaming down Hinata's face. She was tense all over. Her delicate facial features were all twisted into an expression of rage.

"You may have to rasie a child all on your own! Are you ready for that? Do you know how to raise a child, Naruto-kun?"

"Geez, Hinata-chan, settle down! You're irrational and horomonal! You just need to calm down!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Naruto wanted to shoot himself. He expression softened and he reached out to Hinata.

"HInata-chan, I'm so sorry." he said appologetically.

Hinata looked down at the floor, her expression darkened. Tears fell form her eyes and spattered the ground. She slid the ring off her finger and let it drop to the floor. She brushed past Naruto and, despite his efforts to stop her, ran out. Naruto ran after her, calling her name, but she ignored him. She kept running, heading fo rher house. She was almost there when she ran straight into Tsunade. Tsunade grabbed Hinata by her shoulders and looked at her confused.

"Hinata-sama, what's the matter?" she asked, shocked.

HInata just buried her head in her hands and sobbed. Tsunade, very unsure of herself, awkwardly put her arms around Hinata.

"There, there." she said, trying to be comforting.

Naruto came running up. He went and put a hand on Hinata's shoulder.

"Hinata-chan..." he started.

"Leave me alone, Naruto-san!" Hinata yelled, her hands still covering her face.

Naruto eyes welled with tears.

"Hinata-chan please." he begged.

"I think you should leave her, Nruto-kun." Tsunade said seriously.

Naruto looked up at Tsunade and opened his mouth to say something. Tsunade closed her eyes and sook her head. Naruto looked at Hinata, hurt in is eyes. He walked away, dejectedly. Tsunade rubbed Hinata' sback and led her into the main Hyuga house.

I wonder what this is all about?
