A/N Hello fellow FF Members and Visitors alike! This is 9tailsfox2 with Chapter 2 to 'All's Fair in Love and War'! Italics mean thoughts and let's get this show on the road!

Naruto really had no idea what to do. How did he go from rescuing a girl three years younger to the aforementioned girl and her older sister, who was about his age, forcing him to decide between the two. Damn… this is going to be bad if I don't answer. I need time to think and I don't really know them that well.

Hanabi moved in closer. "Well?"

Hinata moved closer as well. "What's your decision?"

Naruto shook his head. "I-I uuuhhh." More time, don't know them well. There has to be a solution to fix both things… I got it! "Uuuuhhh, how about I go on a date with the both of you, separately of course, and from there I can make a decision."

Hinata smiled. Oh no. That is a terrible idea… but I have to get Naruto to like me. "Ok I like that idea."

Hanabi on the other hand was not one to lay low and bite the bullet, though she did like the idea of a guaranteed date with him, but not the fact that she had to share for a day. Then there was the potential of not even being chosen. "You've got to be kidding me! Not only is that the dumbest thing you can do, everyone will be thinking that you will be nailing both of us!"

Hinata's face instantly turned into a tomato. "I-Imouto-Chan!"

Naruto laughed. "If anyone asks, we are just friends having a nice lunch."

Hanabi crossed her arms. "You have the worst ideas ever…"

Naruto smirked. "Well, if you don't want to go so much, I guess I'll have to date your sister first, then I'll date you, how does that sound?"

Hanabi was stunned. "WHAT!?" He's picking her over me? No, he likes her better. Of course though, he has known or at least known of her existence longer than mine… That thought still did not bring comfort to Hanabi. "Wh-Why?"

Naruto frowned. "Because, Nabi-Chan, you don't like the idea so I'll give you time to prepare yourself and think it over while Hinata-Chan over here has agreed to it."

Hanabi sighed in relief. That's right, he gave me a nickname and not her… I still may have my chance. "Fine… I'll go after you're done with the terrible date you are about to go on."

Naruto smiled. "Hinata-Chan, how does tonight at 8:00 sound?"

Hinata happily nodded. "Y-Yeah, that sounds good." Kami! That's late, and a bit sudden being today… Why not tomorrow or something?

Naruto smiled. "Alright, I was thinking that we should go to IIchiraku's Ramen." Not a place to date, but I am noticing something though. I really hope she doesn't say yes.

Hanabi face palmed when the words came out of Naruto's mouth. Baka! Why at a Ramen stand? At least the local Barbecue or something!

Hinata shuffled her feet and looked down. I was kind of hoping to go to a real restaurant, but if this is what he wants… "S-Sure, I'll be there!"

Hanabi almost missed the slight frown that appeared on Naruto's face… almost. Was he testing her? "Go where you two want I'll just go… Dang it!"

Naruto looked up. "What is it Nabi-Chan?"

Hanabi sighed as she hung her head. "I have no place to go! My father will be there and he… he will probably seal me."

Naruto nodded. "It's alright, you can live with me if you want, though I highly doubt that Hiashi will take too kindly to having an heiress missing.."

Hinata shook her head. And I'll have to take his wrath. I always do… But I don't want to impede upon Naruto's apartment, it's small as it is… Hinata struggled over in her mind until she felt that it would be better to ask for help "Wh-What about me?"

Naruto thought about it. Huh… there isn't that much room in my apartment, though I can probably fit two guests in there somewhere… "Yeah, I guess you can stay for tonight as well. Though both of you will have to face your father."

Hinata shrunk in on herself and simply nodded. "Y-Yeah…"

Hanabi simply shook her head. "No! Are you crazy!? You saw what happened!"

Naruto smiled and put his hand on Hanabi's head. "Don't worry, I'll be there as well. I will make sure that he will not land a hand on either of you when his intention is to harm."

Hanabi glared at Naruto. "And how do you expect to protect me from a Clan Head, who happens to be my father?"

Naruto thought on that and frowned. "I do not know… but if it really has to come down to it, run. I'll distract him. I do not wish to see harm befall on either of you."

Both sisters smiled at that. Hinata nodded. "Ummm, what about to wear?"

Naruto then handed both of the girls his money. "Go shopping for your dates. Nabi-Chan, remember we have not got a location our date yet, so choose your dress wisely."

Hinata nodded. "O-Ok."

Hanabi shook her head. "What about you? What are you going to wear?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head. I already have a few outfits."

Hanabi glared at Naruto. "Baka! I'm not talking about that eye wrenching orange jacket!"

Naruto shrugged at that.

Hanabi was about to say something, but instead closed her mouth. I don't care how he dresses on my sister's date, but he'd better dress nicely for mine!

Naruto smiled. "Alright have fun you two!" With that Naruto jumped away from the two, finally glad to be out of the situation. Geez, I was so close to being target practice… Good job brain! Your welcome!

Hanabi smiled and nodded before realizing what Naruto just did. "Nee-Chan?"

Hinata looked at her sister. "Yeah?"

Hanabi hung her head. "Ruto-Kun bailed on shopping with us didn't he?"

Hinata nodded. "Yes."

Hiashi growled as he stood before the three elders of Konoha.

Koharu shook her head. "Not only did you reveal a class-S secret right in front of your own daughter, you tried to kill one named Uzumaki Naruto, fully well knowing that the Kyuubi will likely be released in the event of his death."

Hiashi curled his hands into a fist. "The little demon attacked me!"

Homura frowned. "This does not explain why you revealed a forbidden secret!"

Hiashi scrunched up his face. "My daughter was trying to be friends with such a demon and so I had to explain why she should not be friends with him."

Koharu sadly hung her head. "We want what is best for dear Naruto and certainly attacking him such a manner usually warrants the death penalty."

Hiashi gulped. They won't actually…

Homura continued. "Unfortunately you are a Clan Head so we cannot exactly kill you…yet."

Danzo cleared his throat. "If I may interject. Maybe we could think of this as survival training. With him being so isolated and having a lack of friendship, it will be easy for me to mold him into a perfect Shinobi, and if he can learn to control the Kyuubi, he will be the perfect weapon. So with that, maybe Hiashi's attack on Naruto may be a blessing in disguise, though I would be ashamed for not only being downed by a 12 year old, you have 'The all seeing eye'. You should have been able to counter him easily, instead you lost him. While the embarrassment alone should be punishment enough, rules are rules though, you should be punished, but not in death."

Homura nodded his head. "So we have decided that you be stripped of you Clan name, Byakugan sealed and we shall personally appoint the new temporary Clan Head. You can still teach your techniques, but not your ideals. For that we shall keep a close watch. It would be wise to treat your daughters with respect from now on as one of them alone can decide whether to bring you back into the clan, as a Main House or a Branch House member. Should they pass away before making that decision, your sight and chakra will be sealed you and your future, if you have any after the fact will be doomed to live blind, chakra-less and Clan-less."

Hiashi's eyes widened. "No! You can't do that! You are interfering with Clan Law!"

Koharu frowned. "A more mercy fate would be death no? But you have indeed broke a Class-S law, which is higher than Clan Law, so punishment must therefore be just as harsh and appropriate, meaning when you revealed that secret, Clan Law was thrown out of the question and you have brought shame upon your family. I'm sure Hinata or Hanabi would be glad that you are now out of the picture, considering how you treat them."

Hiashi narrowed his eyes. "How would you know how I treat my daughters?"

Homura laughed. "You forget, we have Anbu following Naruto everywhere. Everything that happened was reported to us, including words that were exchanged."

Hiashi growled. "You will have to realize the far reaching consequences of removing me as the Head Clan?"

Danzo stared at Hiashi, as if his eyes were trying to bore his soul. "Like what?"

Hiashi smirked. "Glad you asked. The Hyuuga Elders have been trying years to uproot me and use one of my daughters as their puppet. Hinata has been way too kind and caring, causing her to be way too submissive, so I decided to focus on Hanabi, because she is stronger willed than her sister. I thought perhaps that she would be able to do what I couldn't, defy the elders. I must say, I was pretty pissed when she defied my orders but now that I think about it, I'm certainly hoping that she would use that defiance against the elders when she does become head."

Koharu sighed. "Should she become Clan Head, Hanabi's marriage arrangement should come into consideration."

Hiashi nodded. "According to tradition, she would be wed to Neji."

Homura sighed. "I don't know about Hanabi, but he despises Hinata. Should she be head, along with the pressures of the duties that comes with being Head, she will have to deal with his hateful nature and the oppressive Clan Council."

Koharu put her hand to her chin. "And we cannot know who to trust to go against the Council."

Hiashi nodded. "Exactly."

Danzo sighed. "Hmmm that is certainly a problem. The three of us must talk this situation over and come up with an appropriate punishment for you."

Hiashi bowed his head. "Thank you honorable Elders."

Hanabi and Hinata arrived at Naruto's with their recently bought dresses in possession. Naruto looked up and smiled. "You two done?"

Hanabi nodded with a smile. "Yes and I will not let you see me in it until our date!"

Hinata smiled. "Well I should get changed. What about you?"

Naruto shrugged. "I'm going in this."

Hanabi face faulted. I really, really, REALLY hope to Kami that he is testing her.

Hinata simply smiled and nodded her head. "I-It's fine." Oh Kami, he's terrible when it comes to dates… but still, I want to be with him… I guess I have to accept it.

Naruto smiled. "Alright then, go get changed."

Hinata nodded. "Alright," Then she walked off to get changed.

Hanabi sighed when she left. "Are you an idiot, or are you trying to test her?"

Naruto smirked and put his finger on her forehead. "That is something for you to figure out."

Hanabi was blushing when she growled and pushed Naruto's finger out of the way. "Baka… If you didn't realize it, she's way too submissive. That fight we had earlier, I don't what went through her mind but that was odd behavior coming from her."

Naruto simply smiled. "Really? How interesting..."

Hanabi glared at Naruto. "So you are not going to tell me whether you are acting like a baka or you are just a baka."

It was a statement and definitely not a question. Naruto put on a confused look. "I don't know what you are talking about Nabi-Chan. I really don't."

Hanabi sighed in frustration. He's either really good at this or simply an idiot and I can't even tell!

Naruto looked up when Hinata walked into the room. She wore a navy blue dress with a knee length skirt. "You look nice Hinata-Chan."

Hinata smiled and tilted her head. "Thanks." Anything fancier then I would probably be out of place.

Hanabi sighed. I do not plan on going somewhere so casual… That's why I got this nice dress.

Naruto looked up at the clock. "Oh! Look at the time! We'd better get going. Be good Nabi-Chan!"

Hanabi stuck out her tongue at Naruto. "I'll try."

With that the house was empty. Then it struck Hanabi like a ton of bricks. "What am I going to do now!?"

Naruto looked over at Hinata. Maybe I should stop testing her so much, might ruin the purpose of the date. I probably even went too far with the whole dress up thing… She clearly is way too submissive. Maybe even with the restaurant choice. Gah! I shouldn't have done this at all, I feel like a manipulative asshole now, but I do not plan on taking advantage of it, but it will be hard not to when all she will do is agree with me, even if I do ask her directly. I can only see disaster going down that way. On the other hand, she is kind and sweet and who knows, maybe I can help her out of her shell, help her become someone strong. Let's see what this date holds, shall we?

Hinata noticed Naruto staring at her and tried so hard not to faint. "N-Naruto, wh-why are you staring at me?"

Naruto smiled. "I was? Sorry I was just thinking."

Hinata only smiled. "About what?"

Naruto scratched his chin. "About how this date will go."

Hinata looked ahead at their destination. "I'm sure it will be fine."

Naruto nodded and looked at the Ramen Stand with a smile. Conversation check!

When the two arrived Teuchi greeted them with a smile. "Hey Naruto-Kun! How are you doing!"

Naruto nodded. "I'm doing great! In fact I'm on a date with Hinata-Chan here. Hey where is Aya-Chan?"

Teuchi pointed in the back. "Ayame-Chan is the back, preparing the ingredients for tonight's customers."

Hinata hung her head slightly. So he gives another a girl a nickname… I hope she isn't pretty. Hinata ate her words when Ayame walked from the back. "Naruto-Kun! Did I just here what I just heard? That you are on a date!?"

Naruto smiled and nodded. "Yup! But it's a bit complicated. You see Hinata-Chan and her little sister Hanabi-Chan fought over me, so I came with the idea of going on separate dates, and see how they go."

Teuchi laughed. "Why not choose both!?"

Hinata went red, Naruto's thoughts were thrown into a loop and Ayame elbowed Teuchi in the side. "Father! That's not even right!"

Naruto shook his head. "No, won't work out."

Hinata looked at Naruto in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Naruto sighed. "I may not know much about Clan laws in general but an heir or heiress cannot become Clan Head when he or she marries outside of the Clan."

With that realization, all of Hinata's motivations came to halt. He's right. If he chooses me, I can never become Clan Head, although I was tossed aside, with the recent fight Tou-Sama and Hanabi-Chan had, I might make it after all… At the same time, I want Naruto…

Naruto looked worriedly at Hinata. "You ok Hinata-Chan?"

Hinata looked up and sighed. "No, not really. I just realized that I can't fulfill both of my dreams."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Hinata closed her eyes. "I cannot be with you and be Clan Head at the same time."

Naruto nodded. So her dream is to become Clan Head… I might have to take that in consideration with my decision.

Ayame smiled comfortingly at Hinata. "It's ok, just follow your heart, and I'm sure you can make the right choice."

Hinata nodded her head. One problem with that though. Naruto-Kun's making the decision…

Teuchi clapped his hands with a loud exclamation. "Enough chitchat! It's time for your orders! "What'll you have Hinata?"

Hinata looked at the menu and her eyes widened at the variety of Ramen. So many choices…

Naruto raised an eyebrow. Inability to make decisions, submissive, I think it's a self-confidence issue and it likely stems from the fact that her father practically disowned her. "Hinata-Chan?"

Hinata looked up. "Y-Yes?"

Naruto put on a comforting smile. "I know you can make a choice. I believe in you."

As cheesy as it sounded, it worked. Hinata smiled at that and looked at the menu once again and spotted Chicken Ramen. Not original, but I think I might like it. "Chicken Ramen please."

Naruto nodded and smiled while he noticed the slight emphasis on 'please'. "There we go I knew you could do it." So she makes sure she is polite.

Hinata looked at Naruto and smiled. "Thank you Naruto-Kun."

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "No problem Hinata-Chan! Oh yeah! One Miso please." Can't eat like I usually do, this is a date.

Hiashi entered the house quite frankly a bit irritated. Not only was his honor on the line, but the entire fate of the Hyuuga Clan was determinant on whether the old geezers would let him stay as the Clan Head. Still, maybe I should have done something else other than ostracizing Hinata to stop the Elders from controlling her. That sounds like stupid excuse to abuse her. I feel like a total ass. Still, I probably have promoted Hanabi but then they would have used Clan Law and stuck with 'First Born' anyways… Speaking of my daughters, where are they? Hanabi is probably still with Naruto and Hinata probably followed him.

Neji just happened to be in the room when he saw Hiashi and bowed. "Hello Hiashi-Sama."

Hiashi nodded. "Can you go to Naruto's house to see if my daughters are there. If they are they can stay there for the night but they have to come back to me tomorrow."

Neji was confused. He thought that the Clan Head would be demanding his daughters back unless… "You got into a fight with Hanabi didn't you?"

Hiashi sighed and nodded. "Yes I have. I need her as the Clan Head and she can't do that if she is afraid of me."

Neji nodded. He was way too familiar with the situation at hand. "Like I said you should have treated Hinata better and now you were forced in treating Hanabi like shit. I shall inform them of their choice."

Hiashi nodded. "Alright. Good luck."

Neji nodded as he walked off to Naruto's apartment.

Hanabi huffed as she looked at the clock. It's late, they should be done by now… It would suck if father decided to send someone here to get us. I'd imagine he'd get even more pissed if he found out that I was left alone. Not that I mind being alone in a house late at night.

At that thought Hanabi heard the doorbell ring. With a smile she got up. "Coming!" Though I would be happy if had company. After she finished that thought, Hanabi opened the door.

Neji walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. After he heard a 'Coming!' he decided to wait. After a few footsteps were heard, the door opened.

A/N I don't like this fic too much, though I will finish it! Sorry for the long time it took for me to post this. I really had some difficulty to decide what to write next. Oh yeah, another reason why it took so long is that I went to Six Flags New England the past couple days and I'm going to go repeatedly over the summer. Ummmm what else, what else... Oh yeah! Poll up to see who is going to go to Connecticon as I will be working there, if I don't have a job by then. Please vote!

Alright remember to R&R and this is 9tailsfox2 signing off!
