I know that I took a long time to publish but I made it up by typing this 1000 more words than I usually do..
(Hinatas pov from here on out)
I stepped inside closing my door, leaning against it to catch my breath. Today at work was just excruciating. Ino and Sakura just kept gossiping, leaving me to do most of the work so we could all go home. I look at my clock nearby..6:30pm.. hmm so I got 30 minutes to get ready for my date, even though I'm going to call Naruto and tell him that I'm too tired I still smile just thinking about him. We usually hang out after our work but today is are six month anniversary and he wanted to do something special for me. Now that I think about it I shouldn't cancel because this really means something to him and it is a special night.
I take a step towards my room to go change when a piercing knife like stabs in my brain bringing me down on my knees.
What? I drank blood the other day. I can't decide what the problem is, my date is not going to happen.
ding dong
I look up at the again..7:00.. What happened to my 30 minutes? I hear knocking at my door and I get up of my knees to open it grinning wildly.
"What's the big smile for?" The visitor grumbles.
My grin fades a little, disappointed that it's not who I thought it was.
"Hello cousin Neji." In my head I keep wishing that Naruto won't show or for him to be really late.
"Hinata I only came for advice." Neji said, it must have took him a lot of effort to even come here because his jaw was hard and he practically had to force the words out.
"How may I assist you." I stare at him quizzically. When you talk to Neji you have to be really formal and show no emotions or he'll snap.
Neji reaches in his coat pocket-and I notice for the first time that he's wearing a tux- when he pulls out a small black velvet box. I gasp! Neji looks up and actually smiles.
"Yes, I was wanting to know how I should do it."
A million thoughts run through my head, but the one that sticks and keeps repeating is a selfish thought. He's going to be super happy with her and then maybe he can over look me dating a human!
"I don't really want to get on my knees." He grumbles.
After talking for a few minutes and telling him that he doesn't necessarily need to get on his knees Neji is satisfied and with me actually being best friends with Tenten it helps that I actually know what she likes.
About two minutes after the door closes I hear a knock again. I sigh, it must be Neji forgetting something or another question he wants answered. I yank the door open because finally exhaustion is taking over my body.
"Wow I thought you'd be happy to see me." With the worlds biggest goofiest grin is Naruto. Looking him up and down I see that he's dressed up nicely, of course not lke Neji. One look at his hair and I can tell he's combed it, trying to tame his wild blonde hair but there is one blonde lock sticking out behind his ear.
I'm still surprised and shocked.
"I took you by surprise. I would have been here on time but I saw Neji knocking at your door. I've only seen him on TV and heard the descriptions you've told me but it wasn't enough, he looks cold and distant like he could kill you in one punch." Naruto does the fake shivers but to me it looks like he's having a seizure. I giggle.
I forgot that me and my family The Hyuugas are on the TV sometimes because of our successful family business.
"Are you going to stop laughing at your shivering cold boyfriend and let him in?" I step aside and immediately he steps in making himself at home.
"I have to change do I dress up nicely for what we're doing?" I ask.
Naruto looks at the clock and sighs, "No, we missed the reservation I made thanks to your cousin, now I look ridiculous."
" You look fine, very handsome."
That makes him grin and say "Well I guess we're going to walk around in the meadow you like." Then I hear him mumble to himself looking nervous.
I love the meadow but something else seems to be on his mind. I shake it off and go change in something cute and simple. When I come back out Narutos standing at my door ready to go, he's nervously rubbing his hands together. Hmmm that's something I do when I'm nervous. I follow him out the door and we walk to the meadow. Are walk is silent and neither of us say anything, eventually he grabs my hand and entwines are fingers lacing them together and squeezes my hand.
When we finally reach the meadow and stand in front of a small beautiful pond with the moon shining bright, Naruto turns to me and grabs both my hands, leans in and kisses me. When he pulls back he's searching my eyes intently and I don't know what to but kiss him with so much intense and love that we have to pull back and take deep breathes of air. I love him. I know I have for awhile now but have been too scared to tell him. Now's the time to do it but I freeze too scared. I'm a vampire, what kind of future could we ever have, it would be hard and Naruto doesn't deserve that, but even thinking like that has my heart breaking and I want to be selfish for once in my life. I want to always be with him.
"I love you." He says gently, looking at me intensely again.
I freeze, Naruto whispered the word but in my mind it was loud and still ringing in my ears. In my head I see myself replying that I love him do, so happy and just kissing him over and over, but instead of that happening, I cry.
"Why are you crying? Do you not feel the same way?" He's gently wiping my tears with his fingers and still looking at me intently.
"I love you Naruto, I love you with my whole heart." I can't take it anymore and I bury my head in his chest.
His hands cradle my head and he leans his head down to kiss my hair.
"So why are you upset?" He asks. When I answer my voice is kinda muffled by his shirt.
"I'm a vampire and you are a human, are future together will be hard."
"Hinata I love you. I don't care about the hardships because no matter what I want to be with you forever. I want to meet your family." He tells me.
My eyes snap open and my head whips up to him. "No Naruto you can't meet my family, my dad will want to kill you."
"Then let me meet your little sister or better yet your cousin that we've been hiding from." He has a hard tone now.
"Naruto I would like you to meet my little sister but I don't know about Neji, he is different now that he's in love, and after he proposes to Tenten tonight I will gladly take you to meet him." I say out of breath because I was talking to fast.
"So you are saying that Tenten has changed him and that I can meet him?" He questions.
"Yes, before Tenten he was full of hatred and always watched me with hawk eyes and that's why my dad hasn't found out about us yet because Neji's been busy falling in love with Tenten." I wait for his reply.
He nods accepting that he will meet most of my family soon. "I do want to meet your father before I ask to marry you, it's only right."
My breathing falters and I try to take a step back but Naruto puts his arms around me not letting me move too far. We stand there in silence before I break it.
"We can't marry."
It is hard for a vampire to marry a human, only a few states in the country allow it, most of the places in the world forbid it from ever happening.
"Do you love me?" He asks even though he knows the answer.
"I will love you forever." I reply with no hesitation.
"Then we're going to marry, and I want to share our blood so we're bonded forever." With that Naruto arches his neck, putting his hand at the back of my head nudging my mouth to his neck.
I pull back with force. "Naruto I do want to marry, but I also want to wait for our bonding the night we are husband and wife."
Naruto understands and apologizes saying that he was in the heat of the moment.
"Why don't you make me a vampire?"
I look at him hard, first the question doesn't fully form in my head and when I finally understand what he's asking I get mad.
"I'm not going to ruin your life like that."
We don't say anything more and we don't need to fill in the silence, of course we keep mumbling how we love each other and keep kissing. We both come to an understanding that it's time to leave and we reach his house first.
"Well this scene isn't right, I'm suppose to walk you home." He laughs.
"I'm the vampire in this relationship, I can handle myself." I say grinning.
I kiss him and say my goodbyes before he can object and next thing I know I'm walking to my house in the dark. In my walk I do some deep thinking. I can feel the sharp pain about to come back and wonder why am I always starting to hurt when I'm away from Naruto. I decide to make an appointment with Shikamaru the top scientist in the country, he himself is a vampire but anyone that looks at him can tell he would rather be human and he'll help both races. If anyone knows what's wrong with me it'll be him. When I reach my walkway I notice that Kiba's sitting on my front steps and when he sees me he stands up and rushes to me. Concerned, I look at his face to see that he's worried about something and I grab his hand.
"What is it Kiba? Tell me" I say in a hard tone trying to get his skitterish attention.
"It's Neji, he went ballistic, he started attacking nearby humans and destroying things in his path."
"What?" I don't want to believe it.
"He killed humans, and a battle broke out, he was out numbered and he wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Sasuke being nearby."
"Kiba what happened?"
"It was at that fancy new restaurant, I was eating and suddenly Neji asked Tenten to marry him and it got eerily silent, Tenten started crying," Kiba is frantically saying things trying to retell the story and when he makes arm gestures I see that there is blood all over his hands, "She rejected him, but that's not what set him off. She stormed out of there but not before saying she could never be with him. It was really quiet and he just sat there squeezing his fists together."
I bring Kiba in and wash away the blood from his skin, the smell of it tells me that its not his own blood.
"So Neji and Tenten aren't together anymore?"
He nods, "He's going to be watching you like crazy now."
I nod solemnly, this battle could start a war, the humans and vampires have been itching for a war for what seems like forever.
"What are you not telling me? You said that Tenten rejecting him was not what made him snap."
"Yeah, it was some human coming in yelling that there will be no vampires anymore because-because." He puts his head down.
A million thoughts go through my head, are they going to kill all vampires? How will I don't want to leave Naruto.
"Kiba are they going to kill us?"
He shakes his head, "No murder but this is causing the vampires to choose sides. Hinata its either you choose your family or you choose Naruto."
"Kiba stop jumping around the point and just tell me why I have to choose!" I yell frustrated that this is going to affect every vampire.
"Shikamaru made what people are calling the `cure'... Hinata you can become a human."
I look at Kiba in shock and disbelief. This will turn vampires against each other and maybe start a war, it should be my duty to stand with my family but I also love Naruto. The only reason I would choose my family is because my sister Hinabi, I don't care about my abusive or my crazy cousin. It's my little sister that I love but I know in my heart she would never abandon our dad who loves her more than anything. but Naruto... are future wouldn't be complicated and we could be happy. The stabbing pain comes back in full force knocking me out, I'm falling backwards my vision going black and the last thing I hear is Kiba yelling out my name over and over again.
Thank you please review. I told you that I wanted to hit the plot but next chapter I'm going to take it more slowly. hey since this is rated T its alright if my characters say cuss words and tell dirty jokes right?
