Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine.

I also ask politely for you guys to read the Author's Notes. They are at the end of the chapter. Please, read it and you guys are going to understand things. Thank you.

Also this chapter means so much to me since my dad never got the chance to met my EX/first boyfriend (highlight on ex because he was not the best boyfriend. He wasn't even my type. I mean, he wasn't an Uchiha -.-). He died almost a year ago and I miss him so much. It also made me remember my grandfather. I wasn't so close to him because I'd never get the chance to actually see him, but I loved him. He was such an intelligent person. And he was Japanese. He also died 2 years ago and I miss him as well. That's why I tried so hard to make this chapter a good one. I hope I conquered it.

Another thing: What's between '…' is thoughts, 'kay?


Chapter 6:

F: Father

Everyone knows that the Hyuga Clan is very strict. EVERYONE.

They are very traditional. They like things to be organized. They don't like big changes. They are quiet, calm and composed. They follow all the rules. They like the laws. They are strong. The Byakugan is strong. They are intelligent. They behave perfectly. They like to be seem as perfect. They are almost perfect.

They are the opposite of the Uchiha Clan.

It's not like they are complete opposite. Uchiha are also traditional and organized. They are strong and so is the Sharingan. And, of course, they are intelligente. Now the other things ….

It's not like they are fan of changes. But they don't throw tantrums at it. They are quiet, when they are sleeping (unless when someone is talking while sleeping). They are calm, when they are in a good mood. They are composed, only outside the walls of the compound. They follow the rules, sometimes. They like the laws, only when the laws benefit them. They behave perfectly, when in front of the Hokage.

But there's something both Uchiha and Hyuga like. To be seem as perfect.

Even if they are not.

And that's the main reason why Sasuke was freaking out.

Today is the day he had a "meeting" with no other than Hyuga Hiashi.

"Meeting" was the name Neji gave to it. Hinata told him that she just wanted him to know her family.

Sasuke would do just fine with Neji and Hanabi. But with Hiashi? He would never admit it, but he was nervous. No, he wasn't nervous because Hiashi could kill him (he could kill Hiashi too, effortless) but Hiashi could refuse his relationship with Hinata, he had the power to do so (he was Hinata's father after all)

And now here he is. In his room in the middle of a messy mountain of clothes, looking for something good to wear. No, Sasuke did not care about clothes. He knew he'd look sexy in anything. But he needed to look like a good choice for Hinata's boyfriend. He needed Hiashi's approval. He needed to look perfect that day.

"What a messy room little brother. Okaa-san is not gonna like it if she sees it" Itachi was standing at Sasuke's door frame.

"Go away Itachi. I don't have time for you. I gotta find a perfect outfit." sasuke didn't even bother to look at Itachi.

"Ah yeah! You're meeting with Hyuga-Sama … you nervous, right?" Right now Itachi was trying to find a clean spot to sit in Sasuke's bed.

"Shut up. Go away. Get out of my room. Get out of my life. Die Itachi. GO AWAY" The younger Uchiha was now screaming his lungs out.

"Holy Kami. Sasuke, are you PMSssing?" Itachi was enjoying the situation. Oh he was…

"I gotta find the perfect outfit. I gotta look perfect. I gotta impress Hinata's father. I gotta be perfect." Sasuke was freaking out.

"Geez Sasuke. Relax man. It's gonna turn out just perfect if you can calm down. It's not like Hiashi is planning on murdering you. I don't think he'd do that." Sasuke seemed to be absorbing Itachi's words "Unless someone tells him what you've been doing to his little daughter" Itachi was having the time of his life teasing Sasuke.

Sasuke, tired of his brother, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Itachi. "Go away Itachi. I don't need you know to make me more nervous" then he thought about something. "I bet you'll be eating your eyes when it's time for you to meet Hiashi" Sasuke now had a wide smirk on his lups

"Why would I meet Hiashi anyway?" Itachi was confused.

"Well, you know. Your relationship with Hanabi. I mean, you're almost 8 years older than her. You could be accused of pedophilia. She's still underage …" A pillow flew through Sasuke's room and hit his head.

"Shut up Sasuke. There's nothing between me and that weirdo." Itachi was now leaving the room. "I hope Hiashi makes you pee in your pants" he muttered before passing the door.

In this hellish day Sasuke, at least, had a bit of fun teasing Itachi.

'Two hours. Two fucking hours. I, Uchiha Sasuke, took two hours to get ready. What am I? A girl? A girl getting ready to her first date? '

He was Uchiha Sasuke, ANBU Captain, one of the greatest shinobi in Konoha.

And currently afraid of his Father in law.

Again, what was he? A coward?

No. He was, by any means, a coward. He wasn't afraid of Hiashi …. He was just …. Not used to the feeling of being analyzed, or the thought of being reproved.

That's it. He was just not used to these feelings. He wasn't scared. He wasn't a coward. He'd do just fine.

Sasuke was walking slowly to the Huyga Compound. He wasn't slow because he was afraid (NOOOOOO), he was just taking his time (and taking a lot of time) to walk to his destination, even if he was almost late.

His hands were sweating. His lips were dry. His legs weren't as firm as they should be. He was feeling like his stomach was being burned by jellyfishes. It actually was even worse than the cake Hinata made him a few months before. His kept playing with his kunai in his pocket. He wanted to back off, but he couldn't. He had made a promise to Hinata. She was so happy when he agreed to meet her father to finally turn their relationship official (wasn't it official before?). He couldn't disappoint Hinata. His only choice was to go through with it and hope that Hiashi was in a good mood and wasn't planning on killing him (or castrate him, he wanted kids someday).

When he arrived at the compound, Neji was already waiting for him outside. He was standing by a white and high wall. He quickly recognized Sasuke's chakra and opened his eyes and gave a smirk to the guest.

"You're late. Hiashi-Sama is already waiting for you. Good first impression."

"Shut up androgynous boy." Sasuke said in a harsh tone.

Upon hearing Sasuke's nickname to him, Neji got a little mad.

"I hope Hiashi-Sama says a big NO to you. You do not deserve Hinata-Sama"

"I told you once and I'll tell you again. Go find some girl who likes androgynous guys. Or a gay guy. Maybe this will soften your sour face."

"Fuck off Uchiha. Do not let Hiashi-sama waiting for you, bastard" and in a blink Neji was gone and Sasuke was being lead to Hiashi by some servant.

After a couple of minutes the servant stopped in his track, making Sasuke do the same. They stopped in front of a big sliding door. The servant put his arm forward and began sliding it.

"Hiashi-Sama, the guest uchiha-San is here to see you as scheduled." The servant stepped aside, and held out one arm, indicating for Sasuke to go in. "May I be excused, Hiashi-Sama?"

The oldest Hyuga, who had his back to the door, moved only his head. "Yes. And do not let anyone interrupt my conversation. This is an order. Now leave"

The servant bowed and left the room silent.

After about two minutes of complete silence, Hiashi finally turned around and stared at Sasuke. He could see how nervous the Uchiha was. He internally smirked. He didn't want to show any emotions to the boy who dared touch his daughter.

"Uchiha Sasuke. I waited a long time to finally meet you face to face." Sasuke bowed (only because his parents taugh him to be polite to elders.) "You are late. I lost time while waiting for you. You are a high elite shinobi. You must not be late, by any means."

Sasuke gulped. He just screwed the whole thing by being late 5 minutes. Fucking 5 minutes.

He would never tell Hiashi (or anyone, actually) that he was late because he was freaking out choosing an outfit (it was a pansy and ridiculous excuse anyway.)

"I'm sorry, Hiashi-Sama. Something delayed me. I can assure you that this won't happen ever again."

"Uchiha boy. State the nature of your visit. I don't have the whole day to waste with you."

Hiashi was known for being quite rude to people when they weren't important to him. He'd just keep it quick and practical. He didn't need babbling. He didn't have time to lose. He usually would go straight to the point.

Sasuke was frozen. He didn't know what to say. He spent so many hours looking for his outfit that he forgot to think about what to say. He knew if he said one thing wrong, he'd screw it up.

"I came here talk to you about your daughter. " Cautiously he said. "Your eldest daughter, I mean".

"Why are you nervous, Uchiha? Aren't you an ANBU Captain? S-Class Ninja? Why so nervous? I can see the beads of sweat falling from your forehead." Hiashi still had an apathetic face, even though you could sense he was enjoying seeing Sasuke in that position.

"I am not nervous, sir. And I don't think my state of mind is relevant to our main subject." No matter how much Sasuke was suffering, his pride would never leave him. Stuck to life.

"I agree. But why do you want to talk about my daughter?"

"As you may have heard, I am currently in a romantic relationship with your eldest daughter." Sasuke observed Hiashi's face, but still no emotions. "I have no interest in a superfluous relationship. I mean no harm to your daughter and I also want your relationship to be approved by everyone who's important to both of us." Hiashi now seemed to show little interest. "That's why I'm here. I want you to approve my relationship with your daughter, as her boyfriend." Sasuke held a sigh that was almost coming out. He could show no signs of weakness in front of his Father-in-law. Not now.

"Well, as my daughter is involved in this case, I want to call her here and see what she has to say about it." Hiashi momentarily went out of the room and Sasuke could breathe, at least.

Then it hit him. Hiashi wanted Hinata to tell him about their relationship. Hiashi was, most likely, against their relationship. Hinata would have to stand up against her father. And Hinata never did that. She, again most likely, would not be able to do it. And Hiashi would win. And Itachi would laugh. And Neji would rub it on his face. And he wouldn't be able to see Hinata again (not like Hiashi would stop him from getting what – who – he wanted. But it'd be a little more difficult.)

Sasuke thought about ways to fix things, but he knew now the only way was Hinata standing up against her own father. The only thing he could do was pray for Kami to give him strength to not kill Neji when Hiashi says the big no.

Sasuke decided to calm down. Nothing was decided. He'd just have to stay calm.

A couple of minutes passed and then the sliding door opened, revealing Hiashi and behind him was Hinata, wearing what seemed to be her "home" clothes. She was wearing a loose grey blouse and beige short. When she noticed Sasuke's presence, she became red and just sat where her father had told her to. She was just way too shy to greet Sasuke.

"Well, Hinata. As you can see, Uchiha Sasuke is here with us. He told me about the status of your relationship, but I'd like to hear it from you. Is that true that you and him are dating?"

Hinata began fidgeting, playing with her fingers, and her face became a lot redder. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth, but closed it again.

By this time, Sasuke was already insane. She wouldn't do that. She was not ready to stand up against her own father. It was most likely that she would end up crying and Hiashi would blame it on him, and kick his ass. And he'd be roommate with Lee at the hospital. And Naruto would mock him again, and then he'd beat Naruto, and Naruto would end up with him and Lee, and Neji would laugh at him, then he would beat Neji, and Neji would end up being his new roommate, and …

"Yes, Otou-san. Sasuke and I are dating, actually we've been dating for a few months." Sasuke was so lost in his thoughts that he barely listened to what Hinata said. "We are in a romantic and stable relationship and we would like your approval." By now, Sasuke was openmouthed. Hinata, little behaved Hinata, was standing up for her, for them. "But if you do not give your approval, that will not stop us from seeing each other. Nothing will stand in our way. "

Sasuke was in a genjutsu. Itachi was doing this. Was the only plausible answer.

He could not believe that Hinata had told all those things to her father. Without stuttering. Head up. She did not even blinked.

She was fighting for them.

And he was proud of her.

Hiashi seemed a bit impressed by Hinata's new attitude. He'd never seen her like that.

"Well then. I assume you both are mature enough to deal with the ups and downs of a relationship." Hiashi said and both Hinata and Sasuke nodded. "I just hope you do not do things you will eventually regret later." They nodded again. "Since you are grown up, I do not take any responsibility for what may happen to both of you. And I approve your relationship."

Hinata happily smiled and Sasuke gave another nod. Hiashi then prepared himself to leave the room. He opened the sliding door, but before he could exit, he turned around and glared at Sasuke. "Do not do anything pervert to her. Children only after marriage." Sasuke said a soft "understood" and Hinata was again redder with embarrassment. "H-hai Otou-san"

"Take good care of my daughter. Otherwise, you're a dead man, Uchiha." Then he left the room.

Hinata and Sasuke were paralyzed for a couple of minutes, then they looked at each other.

Hinata bowed her head and slowly made her way until she was next to Sasuke. Shyly she put her arms around his waist and hid her head in his chest. He began to move his hands through her smooth hair. He then felt tears in his shirt and got worried.

"Hinata, why are you crying?"

"I'm h-happy Sasuke. We can be t-together now." Hinata lifted her head and looked right into Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke could see so much in her eyes. Her happiness, her love, her feelings. Her eyes held so much just for him.

"Nothing can make us fall apart. Nothing." He then kissed her soft lips gently, while putting his arms around her and helding her, comforting her.


When Sasuke was going back to his house, he started thinking about what happened that day. He confronted his father in law, his precious girlfriend had stood up against her own father. Hiashi had given them his blessing, and he wasn't dead.

"And Hiashi didn't made me pee in my pants. Take that Itachi"

Later that night he found out that Fugaku wanted to talk to him. He thought that was awkward, but did as his father had told him.

No. Itachi was amost right. Hiashi didn't make Sasuke pee in his pants, but Fugaku did, not from fear, but from embarrassment, while telling his son about sex and a boy-girl relationship.

Itachi could not be more happy.


Author's notes:

1 – Sorry for errors in grammar and spelling. I was reading through the chapters and noticed a lot of them. I'm just way too lazy to fix it now. When I'm done with this story, I'll fix everything. I promise.

2 - Voyna reminded me of something I think wasn't clear in my story. In the chapter 4 (D; Doesn't count) I wrote that Hanabi was at the bar. Well, she's 17 in the story. I know I wrote in chapter 2 that she was 13, but I also wrote "Now here he is. 4 years being the leader …." That means 4 years had passed since Hinata gave her title to Hanabi. Hinata, Sasuke and Rookie 9 are 22 in the story. Guy Team is 23, Itachi is 25 (I know Itachi is about 4 years older than Sasuke, but I didn't want him to be too old, I've got something waiting for him) and Hanabi is 17. I know, underaged, but let's just say Konoha's laws allow 16+ to drink.

Thank you so much Voyna for making me realize it. I love your reviews so much. Again, Thank you. And thanks to everyone who's reading and reviewing it. It makes me so happy.

3 – The only reason I'm updating the story almost daily is because I'm on vacation. In Brazil, we don't have school in July, December and January. But in a week my school starts again (crying here .) and since I'm out from 6AM to 8:30PM everyday I guess I won't be able to update daily (even weekly) but I'll try to update at least 3 to 4 times every month.

4 – If I don't update my stories after a long time, it means I'm having a lupus flare. I mean, I'm having one right now but it's not that strong (though my face is as red as Gaara's hair and it hurts so much). Lupus is a weird disease and sometimes it comes back stronger … But It won't make me give up. I still have 20 letters to complete. I won't give up, I promise.

Well I guess I made everything clear (If I haven't please tell me and I'll try to fix it).

It took me almost 3 days to get this done. Why, you ask. Because my brother was home (he should be working, as I should. But because of lupus I am obligated to stay home and that sucks) and right now we're sharing the same room when we're using the internet (I gotta fix some things in my room before I can move my computer there again) and I just can't, CAN'T, write fanfics when someone is around me. I don't know what happens but I can't. Right now he's sleeping and that's the only time I can write alone and in peace (yes, at 2AM). But I think I'll posting G soon (I have this great idea for G) and hopefully it will turn out good.

Good news. I have letters G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, P, S and Z plots in my head. I'll try to write as much as I can this weekend. I hope I can, at least, write I (I have this amazing plot for I. I mean, it's just so good in my head. Though I don't know if it's gonna turn out good enough)

See ya guys next time. Bye.
