Naruto had a bit of trouble getting up that morning, Hinata had already had breakfast by the time he came down and greeted her.
“good morning Hinata” he said with a grin.
“good morning Naruto, Your breakfast has been out, but it might be a little cold” she motioned to a muffin sitting on a plate on the counter. Naruto poured himself a glass of milk and sat down with the cold muffin to eat it.
“Naruto, will you go out and get our mail while I wash the dishes?” Hinata asked.
“sure” he walked outside and opened the mailbox, typical bills and a letter to Hinata. Naruto examined the letter and walked inside. All it read was “for Hinata”.
“Hinata, you got a letter, I don’t know who it’s from though” Naruto handed Hinata the letter and she quickly opened it. As she read it silently, the look on her face gre more concerned.
“what is it?” asked Naruto.
“it’s from my father…he is asking us to come to dinner at his house while my grandparents are in town” Hinata had a worried look on her face.
“well…do you want to do it?” Naruto asked “I know how your family has been to you”
“not long ago, I made peace with Neji, maybe my father is ready to make peace as well?” she said.
“maybe, or maybe your father has something up his sleeve?” said Naruto.
“I don’t know, I don’t think he would do anything in front of my grandfather. My grandfather and I are very close.” Hinata sighed “but I’m still not sure.”
“I say we try it, and if they don’t want to make nice, then screw those guys” Naruto said “we don’t need them to be happy, we have each other”
Hinata smiled. Leaning back into Naruto’s body, she turned her head to kiss him.
“I love you Naruto” she said.
“I love you too Hinata” Naruto said, looking into her eyes and smiling big.
They walked together to the Hyuuga estate. As they approached a crossroads to Hinata’s house, she leaned against him, and as they passed through, Hinata stopped.
“What’s the matter Hinata?” asked Naruto.
“The last time I passed through this place…was right before I decided to live at your house.
Naruto grinned “Hey, you’re right”
“Do you remember what we did?” Hinata said and smiled.
“I think I do…” Naruto looked up as if in thought. Hinata grabbed his coat and stood on her tip-toes to kiss him sweetly. Their bodies swayed back and forth and Hinata basked in the memory and attempted to recreate it. Naruto wrapped his arms about Hinata and held her body tighter against his, more than willing to help Hinata. He lifted her off the ground slightly, making Hinata gasp with delight.
Hinata sighed with pleasure and Naruto set her down. She leaned against as they walked to the Hyuuga estate.
“Are you ready to face your family again?” Naruto asked.
“Yes, I need to be sure that my family has rejected me. I need to know if they’ll ever accept me again” Hinata said. Naruto nodded.
“Then let’s head in” Naruto said.
They walked up slowly, hand in hand, to the front door of the place. Naruto rang the doorbell, after a few seconds Neji answered.
“Good evening Hinata, Naruto” Neji nodded at both of them. Hinata entered awkwardly, bowing and showing her manners. Naruto bowed as well, but only to Neji, knowing that he and Hinata had already made peace.
They made their way to the living room. Hinata’s grandparents were inside, sitting at a tea table with Hinata’s father. Hinata sat next to her grandfather, Naruto next to her. Naruto remarked in his mind that it was a blessing to be sitting next to Hinata, yet a misfortune to be sitting next to her father.
“How are you Hinata?” said Hinata’s grandfather “you’ve grown so much! And you let your hair grow out, you’ve gotten so pretty Hinata” he said and laughed a raspy laugh, Patting and rubbing her head. Hinata blushed at the comment.
“is this your little boyfriend?” said Hinata’s grandmother “He’s so handsome!” Naruto grinned at the comment, not expecting this at all from Hyuugas. but if Hinata is different, perhaps her grandparents were too.
“It’s so good to see two ninja in such a relationship, in our day there were very few of us, most ninja were engaged to someone of normal class” Hinata’s grandmother said. Naruto noticed that Hinata’s grandmother had brown eyes rather than the lavender, pupil-less eyes normal of the Hyuuga. Hinata’s grandfather had married outside the family like she had.
“But your grandfather and I were lucky to have found each other. We were on the same squad” Hinata’s grandmother sighed, remembering her glory days.
It seemed Naruto and Hinata’s relationship was the main topic of conversation throughout the night.
Soon enough, Neji served up dinner. Roast pork and rice. They ate in somewhat awkward silence. Knowing that any remarks by Neji or Hinata’s father would be scolded by Hinata’s grandparents.
When dinner was finished, Hinata continued talking with her grandparents about everything she had done with Naruto and while they were gone.
“Naruto” said Hinata’s father.
“What is it?” Naruto asked.
“I want you to come with me” he said “I need to talk to you alone”
“What’s going on?” asked Hinata.
“don’t worry Hinata” said Naruto “what is it you want me for?”
“You’ll see” Hinata’s father said.
Naruto leaned in close to Hinata’s father’s ear and whispered “if all you’re going to do is scold me, forget it”
Hinata’s father whispered back “I have no intention of doing that, just come with me”
Naruto scolded, thinking something was up. He stood up and spoke to Hinata.
“Hey, Your pop and me are going to go talk about something, I’ll be back in a few minutes, okay?”
“okay” Hinata said, looking a slight bit worried.
Naruto followed Hinata’s father out of the room.
“What’s this all about?” asked Naruto.
“Please, be seated” Said Hinata’s father. Naruto did so, and Hinata’s father sat across from him.
“Uzumaki Naruto, Shinobi of the hidden leaf village. Engaged to Hinata Hyuuga, a member of the honorable Hyuuga clan.”
Naruto tipped his head, much like a baby fox.
“first, I must apologize to you for behaving the way I did on our first meeting.” Said Hinata’s father. Now Naruto was really confused.
“I thought that Hinata, a low-rate ninja, when subjected to rigorous training and discipline, could become a skilled shinobi. But what she lacked was the inner strength. Naruto, you helped her bring out that strength and you’ve helped my daughter grow into the woman she is today.”
Naruto nodded, still rather confused.
“you yourself are not a weak ninja, not by far. I’ve heard of your accomplishments. And while training with you, Hinata has also gotten stronger in that way. I would never have gotten her so far.”
Naruto sighed a little with relief, knowing that this was not a chewing out.
“Naruto, you are the sort of boy I could be proud to call ‘my son,’ if you have forgiven me, I would like to ask you to join the Hyuuga family as one of our own.”
Naruto shook his head, not believing what he was hearing. “and how do you expect me to do that” Naruto was thinking that Hinata’s father was asking him to marry her.
“at the moment, you are far too young to be wed” Hinata’s father said “until such time, we will record your name on this scroll” Hinata’s father unveiled the scroll. Showing the names of dozens of people, he could see Hinata’s name in there as well. Hinata’s father threw Naruto a Kunai.
“you will sign the document in your blood” he said “making a blood bond to the Hyuuga and to my daughter”
Naruto nodded, jabbing his thumb with the knife and stroking his thumb on the page. Making sure his signature was the largest of them all. When he was finished, Hinata’s father rolled the scroll back up and hung it in it’s place.
“Now let’s head back” said Hinata’s father.
“Naruto, are you ready to go?” Hinata said.
Naruto looked at Hinata’s father. “yeah, I think it is time to go.
“okay” Hinata hugged her grandparents and walked out with Naruto.
“Goodbye handsome grandson” said Hinata’s grandmother, giving a cackle. Naruto blushed, finding it a little strange to be called handsome
“What did my father want to talk with you about” She asked.
“oh nothing, just made me sign this scroll thing and said how proud he was of you.” Naruto answered.
“he made you sign the scroll?” Said Hinata.
“yeah, is that a big thing?” asked Naruto. Hinata only made a very quiet squealing sound and threw herself onto him.
“yes! That’s a wonderful thing!” said Hinata. She nuzzled into his chest. Knowing now that her father had accepted Naruto and approved of their love.
Sorry for the wait everyone, I’m having a bit of writer’s block so this might be the last of Midnight meeting for a while, maybe even a very long time. I’m starting to run out of stuff to write about *blush*
I have other projects too, not of the fanfic variety. I’m writing a novel now, and I’m also working on some stuff for the dungeons and dragons game. While I’m at it, a Naruto LARP manual might be a cool thing to work on too, I’ll keep you updated on that.
If someone really wants to (and if it’s legal on the website), I’ll let them pick up where I’ve left off, send me a sample of your work and I’ll tell you if I’m okay with you continuing my work.
“good morning Hinata” he said with a grin.
“good morning Naruto, Your breakfast has been out, but it might be a little cold” she motioned to a muffin sitting on a plate on the counter. Naruto poured himself a glass of milk and sat down with the cold muffin to eat it.

Hinata and Naruto dressed in clothes that weren’t terribly formal. But nice enough for dinner with the family. Hinata was a little apprehensive of what would happen, she was sure it would be an awkward dinner. Naruto seemed pessimistic about the situation, feeling it would be nothing more than a mockery of the two. He would show them all a world of hurt if they did.They walked together to the Hyuuga estate. As they approached a crossroads to Hinata’s house, she leaned against him, and as they passed through, Hinata stopped.
“What’s the matter Hinata?” asked Naruto.
“The last time I passed through this place…was right before I decided to live at your house.

Hinata sighed with pleasure and Naruto set her down. She leaned against as they walked to the Hyuuga estate.

Naruto and Hinata stopped at the gates to her previous residence. They stood at the gates without looking at one another.“Are you ready to face your family again?” Naruto asked.
“Yes, I need to be sure that my family has rejected me. I need to know if they’ll ever accept me again” Hinata said. Naruto nodded.
“Then let’s head in” Naruto said.
They walked up slowly, hand in hand, to the front door of the place. Naruto rang the doorbell, after a few seconds Neji answered.

Naruto followed Hinata’s father out of the room.

Hinata’s father lead Naruto to a room that was meant for light training and meditation. Hanging on the far wall was a long and wide scroll that was rolled up. Naruto noticed that a few other such scrolls were rolled up and laid against the walls.“What’s this all about?” asked Naruto.
“Please, be seated” Said Hinata’s father. Naruto did so, and Hinata’s father sat across from him.
“Uzumaki Naruto, Shinobi of the hidden leaf village. Engaged to Hinata Hyuuga, a member of the honorable Hyuuga clan.”

Naruto and Hinata’s father entered back into the dining room.“Naruto, are you ready to go?” Hinata said.
Naruto looked at Hinata’s father. “yeah, I think it is time to go.

As they walked home Hinata turned to Naruto.“What did my father want to talk with you about” She asked.
