Beautiful morning you have come here
Bringing me happiness in your wings
Smile at my child with your ray of light
Fill him with laughter all day, all night
Since she had found out about her pregnancy, Hinata couldn't help but sing at every moment short meaningless (or almost meaningless) songs composed by her imaginative and probably very hormonal head.
But how to avoid this feeling of joy? In her womb, her son was growing healthy and strong, a beautiful boy who stole all her attention. At the beginning of the pregnancy with the constant nauseous, that she had to accept they had been somewhat hateful, until this moment when she was lying in the rocking chair with a very prominent belly, feeling the powerful kicks of the little one, and surrounded by the toys that Hyashi had invaded the child's room.
Hinata laughed to herself, who would have thought the Hyuga leader's heart melted every time he saw her daughter come to visit the mansion? Never in her life did she imagine him cooking for her, but he did when Hinata expressed a craving for a recipe her mother cooked just for her and Hyashi. The patriarch did not hesitate for a second before getting to work, asking heaven and his dearest Hanna to guide him on such a journey...
So it was
When he presented the plate to Hinata, even the decoration of the bun with a few edible flowers was exactly reminiscent of the one her mother placed in front of her eyes.
Hyashi felt this was Hanna's way of telling Hinata that she was still among them, and that she couldn't be happier for her daughter.
A tear of nostalgia escaped Hinata's eyes, even through her death the love of her mother was still at her side. A love that she hoped with all her strength to be able to transmit to the creature that was forming inside her.
Her son!
The most powerful Hyuga the clan could have ever dreamed of!
The future wielder of the Kyubi
All thanks to Naruto. How much joy, how much fury had been caused by the news of that famous promise Naruto made to the Hyuga!
When the entire world assumed that the Uzumaki was going to be the last jinchuriki of the nine-tails, both carrier and beast appear with this crazy plan to secure once and for all Hinata's position as the future leader of the clan.
That decision they had not yet dared to make among the older ones, the one that had led to discussion after discussion and had put Hinata against Hanabi in the line of combat several times... That decision was settled suddenly by Naruto's proposal and Kurama.
They claimed Hinata as the undisputed heir to the title…
And the Hyuga clan meekly obeyed
Hinata slept peacefully thinking that her son would always be safe, counting on the powerful presence of Naruto and Kurama watching over his well-being, training him to become a worthy bearer of such unimaginable power.
She smiled again, now her life was happy thanks to that unexpected proposal she received in Suna, and thanks above all to the intervention Naruto had had in those days, more than a year ago.
She owed him a lot, so much that perhaps her entire life would not be enough to repay him for all the support he had given her as a future Hokage and her friend. Even so, now that she held the title of the voice of command in the most important clan in Konoha, she very often allowed herself to support the blonde to the point that he had selected her as the Hokage's advisor.
She had finally fulfilled her promise and beyond the eternal love she had always maintained for Naruto Uzumaki, she was now an unconditional support through her new sovereignty over the clan. More than a woman in love, she was now a colleague, an ally... an equal.
She looked at the wall clock, 4:30 p.m.
She called Ko, one of the few people she agreed to bring into her home as her assistant, leaving the odious position of Hinata's servant far in the past.
-Hinata-samma, how can I help you?-
-If Mr. Oz arrives, please tell him that before having tea I will wait for him in my office-
-As you wish Hinata-sama-
She headed to her office, closing the door behind her. As expected, she was in charge of being the spokesperson between the wind village and Konoha, thus avoiding any friction between certain gentlemens.
And boy, the choice had been wise! With her help the relationship of both villages was not only beneficial, but very productive, spreading the benefits of such a union throughout the other surrounding villages. Even in this Hinata could now consider herself successful...
"Thanks Naruto-kun" she thought for the second time that day.
But of all the thousand things she had on her to-do list to thank him for, one stood out without a doubt, that golden opportunity the boy had given her so many months ago, when for the first time in Hinata's life, someone had allowed herself to make the decisions alone, and to be able to follow the simple call of her heart
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief once he allowed himself to examine the Hyuga princess in detail. Although her face still showed some fatigue from the exhaustive effort, it was clear she was not in mortal danger, and that allowed Naruto to regain his calm. .
Sakura had wasted no time to invent an excuse and leave the pair alone, of course, after receiving a well-deserved reprimand from her best friend about getting married without inviting him (an act in which Naruto did not hold back any reproaches and forced her to promise that If by any chance they got the news of a new member in the family there would not be another soul to find out first before him).
As soon as they were alone in the room, tears began to roll down the girl's cheeks, silent and uncontrollable.
"The last time I saw you, you were about to die," she said with a regret in her voice that made it very clear to Naruto how much she had suffered, however the blonde knew better, and the other possible scenario would have caused the same amount of pain, and he didn't waste no time to ventured to check this theory
-Hina, in any other scenario Mr. Oz would be dead right now... - he let himself hesitate for a second, but decided to eliminate that feeling of doubt that he had and asked directly - tell me, would you have preferred that rather than seeing me about to die? I mean, at least I had a slight chance of withstanding that poison, but Ronin...well he's not very strong -
What the hell was happening to him? He was supposed to come to talk to Hinata heart to heart, why did he let himself say such a stupid comment now? The last thing Naruto needed to help his cause of winning the princess's affection was an attack of jealousy, but here he was, allowing himself to be seduced by their sweet venom.
Hinata was an intelligent woman, of course that idea of seeing Ronin instead of Naruto lying on the ground had crossed her mind several times while she was fighting to save the blonde's life. She was not a medical ninja but no one had to tell her what was more than obvious: it was lucky that the one who received the arrow was Naruto, otherwise Ronin would not have been able to tell the story.
And Naruto could be the love of her life, but it was a long-suffering love she was in the process of molding into a mature friendship... but Ronin, until that moment, was a shy but legitimate spark of happiness in her life, and facing the truth, Hinata had no desire to lose such joy.
Because she knew, the moment she let Ronin take the necklace from her, that she was ready to say yes, and leave Naruto behind. Maybe that's why she fought so hard to save Naruto, because she wasn't willing to let the path she took with Ronin be stained with the death of her first great love.
Now however, after having seen Naruto so dangerously close to death, after Sakura confirmed her marriage to the Uchiha, her decisions once again felt hazy.
She felt the boy's hand rest on her face, directing her to face him. Her blue eyes seemed to hide a secret and a prayer at the same time, the silent request to obtain an answer to the question he had asked a few eternal minutes ago.
Naruto recognized in the lilac orbs the confusion of someone who is not clear about her own feelings... It was like looking in a mirror at the moments in which he had doubted his feelings for Sakura and Hinata.
Now it was Hinata who doubted... and he couldn't help but feel that he well deserved to suffer the same fate she had suffered for so long because of his blindness.
-Hina, would you have preferred him to be the one who received the poison? - His throat burned as he uttered such a question.
And he felt his heart burn in a painful beat as she silently shook her head.
-I wouldn't have wanted it like that, in any way- She looked at him, straight in the eyes, almost with guilt, almost apologizing for her sincerity - Ronin-san… well he…-
-It's important to you, I know- He couldn't stop his hands from taking the girl's hands, squeezing them tightly-That's why I didn't hesitate to take his place... because I wouldn't want to see you sad anymore-
She smiled melancholy - And do you think in a world where you don't exist, I could not be sad? -
-Well, if I had died I wouldn't have seen it- he laughed nervously... Damn, where the hell was his eloquence jutsu? A shadow fell on her face.
-But Hinata, I found the greatest reason of all to survive, and believe me, I will go through death a thousand times to return to this person... I, I don't know how I could have been so blind all this time, as I had not noticed the touch of the skin of This woman fills my life completely-
-Is it the love you told me about during the party?-
He saw her once more, with something in his eyes that was impossible to decipher and a smile that, if Hinata hadn't already been in love with him, she would have made her fall prey to his charm at that very moment.
-No, it's something even beyond you know... She, she has been an angel in every step of my life
To adore her is simply not enough…
Nothing I imagined doing for her would seem like enough, which is why she wouldn't let me be by her side.
I tried to love her, you know? I got to know her thoroughly without her knowing, understanding her tastes and her motivations, fighting to the death with whoever hurt her... But it was not enough.
I tried to stay close to her, overcoming my own barriers, using my father's legacy just to ensure a second at her side at the right moment.
I tried to erase the fire that has consumed me since I discovered myself as a man and saw her, so desirable, so absolutely a woman...
I tried to forget her in every body I had in front of me, I buried her with the presence of the only other woman who has been by my side, I turned Sakura into a shield against my feelings, because you know Hinata? She is an angel,
And nothing I could offer was enough.
And I didn't realize the immense battle I had put her to fight...
And she had to be the one who had to defeat me, eliminate my defenses, annihilate my excuses...
She has defeated me completely, and I want to live at her mercy
I want to live at your mercy Hinata, because you are that angel-
She opened her eyes in surprise, she was speechless.
-You have every right to question my word, when I have been vile and rude to you. You have every right to leave because you know Hinata, nothing I have done has been enough, and nothing I am going to do could come close to the love that you have given me...but, if you can take a leap of faith In me, I would love to walk by your side-
Hinata didn't know what to say, her head was spinning... Was he interested in her now?
-Who…do you want to go out with me?-
-No Hinata, now I see everything clearly...with you I want life, the future, quiet mornings and Sundays for walks.
I want you to be my home, and to return to your lap every night.
I want to get lost in you without having to worry about coming back.
I want to wander in your soul and make it my refuge...And may my soul be yours.
I want you to marry me,
Because I love you.-
Her breathing became somewhat erratic. That was the dream of her life...this was Naruto Uzumaki asking for her hand, the man she had loved all her life, the man for whom she had invented this whole dangerous game, putting even her responsibilities as Hyuga at risk... He was here erasing her doubts, fixing her life by saying yes. She couldn't help but look for a second at the table where she found in a box the ring Ronin had offered her with his proposal, and that she had not yet decided to accept, something that did not go unnoticed by Naruto.
"Hina, you don't need to answer me now," he said with his eyes fixed on Ronin's ring. "In fact, it wouldn't be fair for you to answer me before you answer Mr. Oz."
-Naruto-kun, you forget my family's customs. Ronin's proposal is completely insignificant when the clan has the possibility of generating an heir with the most powerful shinobi in the world - And that phrase made Hinata understand why she was not happy, why she did not jump full of joy at the blonde's proposal. ….
because she would again be forced to accept a proposal, without first asking what she wanted. She was clear that Ronin could not compete with Naruto in the eyes of the clan, and that left a bad taste in her, she was not choosing her husband... again!
-There are a couple of things that I need to tell you regarding a conversation I had with your father, I am not going to lie to you, he approved in a good way that we get engaged, however, my promise to you from now and forever is going to be to make you happy- He put an scroll in her hands
-This is?-
-It is the seal on your virginity, your father has given it to me assuming that I will be your husband-
-And why are you giving it to me?-
-I told you, I want you to be happy Hinata. This means that you can choose who you want to marry….means that…you are free-
