I officially feel as if I'm writing either for myself, or for 1 or 2 ppl. Review, guys, PLEASE!

Chapter Six:

Team Naruto didn't receive another C-Rank mission for another few days. They did three D-ranks a week at least, and trained the other while.

Since Hinata taught at the Academy, Naruto knew that the only time he could go talk to Hiashi was in the morning. So he left his team practicing water-walking and went to the Hyuuga compound.

He didn't think Hiashi would actually be happy to see him. But he was. As soon as Naruto had sat down in front of him, he smiled.

"I hope you're here to talk about Hinata, Naruto-san?"

"Yes, sir."

"And I hope it's something that will make her happy."

"I think so, sir." Naruto smiled, "I definitely hope it will."

"Good."

Naruto stood up and bowed formally.

"Hyuuga Hiashi-sama, I, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, son of the Yondaime Hokage and the Red Death, ask you for your eldest daughter's hand in marriage. I promise to cherish her and love her forever, and I promise to protect her with my life."

Hiashi smirked inwardly, 'Namikaze kids, with Naruto's stamina and chakra reserves, possibly the Uzumaki kekkai genkai, and possibly with a new Byakugan. Hell yes!'

He remained serious on the outside, "On one condition."

"Anything."

"I want at least twelve kids."

Naruto, red in the face, fell over unconscious.

Hinata came home from her training a little later than usual the next week. She was taken by surprise when she found Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Temari in her room.

"What are you guys doing here?" She asked.

They grinned, "Getting you ready for your big date."

"Nani!? And Temari-san, what are you doing here!?"

"Hinata, say hello to Suna's ambassador to Konoha!" Sakura said with a flourish.

Hinata smiled, "Congratulations."

Temari smiled back, "Well, Shika couldn't really leave Konoha, and though I'll miss Gaara and Kankuro, it gives me an opportunity to be with Shika."

"I brought the absolutely perfect dress for you." Ino gushed, "I took the liberty of buying it for you."

Sakura picked a lock of Hinata's hair, frowning critically.

"First, you're gonna soak in a scented bath while we wash your gorgeous hair." She said.

"I don't understand… why are you guys making such a big deal? Naru-kun and I go out on dates a lot."

"Oooh. Naru-kun, huh?" Tenten drawled, and Hinata blushed.

"Hinata, how can you forget!? It's your anniversary!"

"Nani!?" Hinata gasped, 'How could I forget!?'

"So you get to dress up like a princess!" Ino squealed.

"Come on, come on, we don't have time." Temari gestured.

Around seventy five minutes later, Hinata was ready. Her dress was dark purple, tight and hugging her curves. It had a v-neck, deep enough to show the cleavage she usually made a point of hiding. The sleeves hugged her arms until her elbows. The skirt opened from the front a little above her knees like a curtain, the hem lacy and fancy. She wore lilac colored high heels, matching the lilac brooch on her dress. Her accessories included two fancy bangles, a bracelet Naruto had gifted her, a pearl necklace, and a fancy lilac comb in her hair. The girls had curled her hair, making it flow around her face.

"You look amazing!" Temari shouted, wrapping Hinata's shawl around her shoulders.

"Beyond amazing!" Sakura corrected.

"Naruto's so getting a nosebleed." Ino grinned viciously, and Hinata blushed.

"I agree. Sensei's gonna fall over!" Hanako cackled evilly.

"Hanako-san?" Hinata said, surprised.

Hanako nodded with a grin, "We're helping sensei with the arrangements and all. I may be a tomboy, but I know exactly what you want."

Plainly speaking, Naruto was nervous. He didn't know how he was going to propose and what he was going to say, and he was getting jittery. Thankfully, everything was perfectly set beforehand. Naruto was sure of this thanks to his team. Like Hanako said, she may be a tomboy but she knew exactly what a girl wants.

His hands were shaking as he pulled his tie a little tighter. He was dressed in a light orange dress shirt on black pants, and a simple black tie.

Just then, Hinata stepped out, and his breath caught in his throat. She looked… gorgeous. Stunning.

"H-Hinata-chan?" He breathed softly as she walked up to him.

She smiled shyly, blushing.

"Hi, Naruto-kun." She replied, giving a tiny twirl, showing off her dress.

He put his hands on her waist, "You… you look gorgeous."

She blushed harder, "Arigatou."

Then she leaned up to kiss his cheek lightly.

Naruto held her at a little distance, and gazed at her from head to toe.

"Your father let you out in that, on a date?" Naruto whispered, a smile pulling at his lips, gazing at her neckline, a small blush on his cheeks too.

She blushed furiously, "N-Naruto-kun!"

'Father didn't just let me out in this. He agreed to let me stay with you for the night.' Hinata fought another blush.

With a grin, Naruto held out his arm.

Hinata grabbed onto it, a smile on her lips. The two were gone, via Hiraishin.

Reappearing instantly, Hinata looked around and gasped. They were standing by a waterfall, and a few feet away from them was a table for two, candles glinting beautifully. Soft music flowed from somewhere, but Hinata couldn't spot the source.

Naruto sighed with relief, 'Thanks, guys! This is perfect. I really owe you one.'

Naruto smiled gently at her, "M'lady?"

She smiled back, leaning to kiss him, this time on the lips.

"It's so beautiful." She whispered as he led her to the table.

Naruto pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down.

The moment Naruto took his own place, their favorite food appeared on their plates. Hinata gasped. Everything was amazing!

They ate, and once they were finished, Naruto stood up, gesturing for Hinata to do the same.

"I love you." She whispered, kissing him.

He interlaced their fingers and led her to the lake. A small boat was there. They got in.

Hinata snuggled up next to Naruto, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. He smiled before leaning in to kiss her.

Wrapped in the kiss, Hinata hardly noticed when they neared the waterfall. Luckily, Naruto remembered. He pulled apart, and gestured.

"Hinata, look at that!"

Hinata turned her head, and Naruto made a hand sign. The waterfall parted in the center, revealing words written behind.

Will you marry me?

She turned to look at Naruto. He was on one knee, a ring held out in his hand, and his eyes bright.

"Hinata, for a long time I was completely idiotically oblivious to your love for me. It took you nearly dying to wake me up. The years I've spent with you were the best years of my life, and made me realize how much I wanted you to be at my side throughout my future." He took a deep breath, "W-Will you please be my wife?"

Tears streamed down her face. Wordlessly, she nodded. Naruto took her hand and slipped the ring in, and as soon as he kissed her, she fainted.

Naruto chuckled as his fiancée went limp in his arms, and jumped back to the bank. He set her carefully against him, making sure not to dirty her dress, and woke her up with smelling salts.

Once she was up, she hugged him tightly, crying lightly into his chest.

"Hey, hey." Naruto chuckled gently, wiping her tears off.

Then he lifted her face up, stroking her cheek with his thumb and gazing into her eyes lovingly.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" She asked softly.

"Of course. But… your father…"

"He gave me permission."

Slowly he leaned to kiss her. The kiss slowly became deeper as the two wrapped around each other and lost themselves in the others embrace.

Finally Naruto pulled away for lack of air, and littered kisses all over her neck and shoulders.

"I love you." He whispered, and then froze.

Hinata was about to ask him what's wrong when she felt something hard probe into her stomach. She froze too, a huge blush on her face. Naruto's face was redder than she had ever seen it.

"S-Sorry." He stammered, pulling away.

Hinata just laughed.

"Let's go home, Hinata-chan." He whispered to her, easing the awkwardness, a blush still on his face.

Hinata nodded, and they were gone.

As soon as they appeared in Naruto's living room, Naruto kissed her again.

"I'll just go shower, okay?" He ducked his head, his blush darkening.

Hinata nodded.

"You can use the other bedroom to change. Oh! You won't have any clothes…"

"No, Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled at him shyly, "Neji-nii-san said he gave you the scroll I sealed my clothes into."

"Oh! So that was what the scroll was for!" Naruto laughed, "Neji just gave it to me and said you would take it from my place."

Hinata nodded.

Naruto gestured, "Come on. It's in my room."

They went upstairs and Naruto handed her the scroll before going to his room for a shower. Hinata changed into knee-length shorts and a baggy long nightshirt. She braided her hair and hung her dress.

"Hinata-chan?" Naruto called uncertainly, knocking on the door.

"You can come in, Naruto-kun." Hinata called back.

Naruto opened the door and smiled at her, "Hi."

He had changed into an orange t-shirt on black boxers.

"Come on. You don't mind sleeping in my room, right?"

"No." She blushed a little, but smiled.

They went to his room and cuddled up on his bed.

"How long have you been planning to ask me?" Hinata asked, her head on his shoulder.

He thought for a moment, "A while. I wanted to find a ring before asking your dad. I found this ring in Iwa actually."

Hinata gazed at her ring properly for the first time, and was awed.

"It's beautiful."

"It's perfect for us." Naruto kissed the finger which bore the ring.

"You took my father's blessing!?" Hinata squealed, 'So romantic!'

Naruto nodded, "I didn't want your father beating me up for not asking him first."

Hinata giggled.

"How did that go?" Hinata asked.

Naruto shrugged, "He was actually happy to see me."

Then he flushed a little, "He… um…"

"What!?" Hinata asked immediately; Naruto rarely blushed.

"He agreed on the condition that he wanted twelve grandkids."

Hinata blushed too.

"Th-Then?"

"I fainted." He admitted sheepishly.

Hinata giggled again.

"When I woke up he said that since I was the sole Uzumaki and Namikaze, either I would have to have two to three wives or have a lot of kids with one wife."

"What d-did you say?"

"That even if I had only one kid, or no kid at all with you, I wouldn't take another wife." He shrugged, an embarrassed smile and tiny blush on his face.

Hinata giggled, kissing him, "I love you."

He smiled at her, stroking her hair, "I love you too."

They were quiet for a few minutes, and then Naruto spoke up.

"Hinata-chan?"

"Hai?"

"I don't want to have the marriage until I've dealt with some unfinished business."

Hinata nodded, a little puzzled.

"But it'll be in less than two years, I promise."

She pouted.

He chuckled, "As soon as possible."

Hinata nodded, "Any time's good enough for me, Naruto-kun. I'd wait for you forever."

"I'd never make you wait forever." Naruto replied, sealing the promise with a quick kiss, "Good night, Hinata-chan."

"Good night, Naruto-kun."

*_Omake_*

"So, tell us girl!" Ino gushed.

The girls were sitting in Ino's living room, the day after the proposal.

"Was it romantic?" Tenten asked.

Hinata nodded, her eyes sparkling, "So romantic I felt like I was dreaming!"

"Where's the ring?"

"Right here."

Hinata held her hand out.

"It's so pretty!"

"Orange for him, and purple for me." Hinata said fondly.

"What did he do after you said yes?" Sakura asked.

"He kissed me, but I fainted."

The kunoichis laughed.

"Then?"

"He woke me up with smelling salts and we k-kissed again."

"What kind?"

"Um… l-long, p-passionate one."

"Oooh."

Hinata blushed harder.

"Something happened." Temari realized, "Why are you blushing so much, Hinata?"

Ino grinned, "Did he get excited?"

Hinata caught the meaning and nodded, "Very."

"EWWWW!" Sakura yelled, "Too much information! Gross."

"What!? You actually turned him on?" Temari asked, eyes wide.

Hinata grinned, nodding, a blush still on her face.

"All right! Way to go, Hinata!"

Sakura grimaced, "Can we change the subject please?"

"Hai, Sakura-san!"
