Hi there! This is my first Naruhina Fanfic ever so please bear with me..

Title: He is in love with you… Believe it

Chapter One- The Marriage

"Everything is settled then." Kakashi sighed a relief as he took the scroll from Hinata's hand. As if something heavy was lifted off the Hokage's shoulder as Hinata handed to him the scroll that contains her approval on the matter at hand.

"Hai, Hokage-sama" she bowed a little.

"In 5 days time from now Hinata you will officially be called as Lady Uzumaki. You seem not happy about it though." Kakashi took notice as he saw a glimpse of sadness in her eyes. "I do have the expression that you will be happy at least that your clan had accepetd Naruto's propsal of marrying you and not to some complete strangers." He pointed out taking notice on how a small brush crept on the 20 year old konoichi's cheeks after being reminded of Naruto's proposal a week ago.

"I would be extremely happy Hokage-sama if not due to the circumstances at hand."

Kakashi knew what she mean. Even he knows how Hinata felt towards the well known hero of the Shinobi world and he knows Hinata never thought of marrying Naruto under this condition.

But everything happens for a reason and Kakashi had a hunch that Naruto tying a knot to a Hyuuga, no not just any Hyuuga but to Hinata Hyuuga would guarantee a good future.

"May I dismiss myself now Hokage-sama? I would like to see my team mates today and train." She asked politely

"Sure go ahead"

A gentle bow and Hinata turns her back to the Hokage and before she close the door Kakashi said something she wont forget.

"You will be a fine Uzumaki in the future"

What is the Hokage talking about? Her? Being a fine Uzumaki in the future? She can barely pass as a Hyuuga and now to be an Uzumaki?

Sure she dream of spending her lifetime with Naruto, the one she always love, but not under this situation. She wished that Naruto would marry her because he loves her but no that's not the case.

She remembers how everything happens so quickly.

Flashback…

2 weeks ago (Hyuuga council meeting)

"Kaoru Miya from the Miya clan would suit perfectly for Hinata." One of the elder said as the Hyuuga council were all gathered one faithful night to discussed Hinata's Marriageable age and suitors.

"I agree, the boy is a well known Shinobi from the village of Getsugakure. I heard he went to war as well despite the calls for him to stay away from the war. He is a noble man from a prostegious clan. It will be a great honor to have him in our clan."

"Kaoru Miya is a good choice but Ill go with Tsubami Touya. He is infact a wealthy man from the land of Iron it will be a great business for our clan."

Hinata twitched her hands as she continues to listen to the debate that the Hyuuga elders had been going on since they had decided that she is now ready to be married.

Nothing seems changed in the Hyuuga clan after the great war 2 years ago and that's what makes her frustrated and guilty. Guilty because she couldn't change the Hyuuga in honor of Neji.

"Its all been decided then Kaoru Miya from the Miya clan will be Lady Hinata's husband, we should start sending their clan a reply." Her grandfather said. Beside him was Hiashi Hyuuga who like her aint happy about her getting married to whoever the elders would choose for her.

Hinata's eyes widened, ever since this meeting has started the elders seems to forget that she has a voice, a voice to speak her opinion on the matter. She wanted to say something but everything she wanted to say remain on her throat as she had seen Hiashi eyeing him not to speak out.

"Lady Hinata?"

Her attention goes to the old Lady named Reyna. "We trust that you wont fail us this time."

Hinata almost cant breath as how the council would look at her. She bit her lower lips stopping herself from crying. She slowly bowed down her head in front of the elders with a heavy heart. Her heart whisper Neji's name. Hoping that Neji is guiding her from afar.

"You bet she wont fail cause she's not a dumb failure as how you people think she is." Said a man voice who suddenly burst into the door with the 6th Hokage.

Everyone in the room went silent and were wondering what business that this promising Hokage had for barging in a Hyuuga meeting.

Hinata's mouth were slightly open as she too cant believe her eyes upon seeing Naruto and Kakashi together.

"What business does the 6th Hokage and the hero brings on this clan meeting?" asked Hinata's grandfather.

"Im sorry about barging in like that." Kakashi said while rubbing the back of his silver hair. "I tried telling this young fellow with me to take it easy but he is always unpredictable. Anyway we have a proposal to make to the Hyuga clan. " and Kakashi eyed Naruto, like giving him a hint that he can talk now, Naruto seems to understand the cue .

He began by looking at Hinata and then to all Hyuga elders and bowed his head on the ground. " I am Uzumaki Naruto, son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze. I am here to present myself as Hinata's husband candidate." Naruto said seriously.

And everything went black on Hinata.

She Slowly opened her eyes and look around the familiar place of her room. That's it she was dreaming, it was all a dream. There's no way Naruto would barge in a clan meeting to present his self as her suitor. Naruto would never do that cause its not like Naruto like her or something that he would proposed.

"Nope! It did happen and it wasn't all a dream."

Hinata eyed the figure standing on her door. "Hanabi, what are you talking about?"

"I said it wasn't a dream like what you were thinking. It did happen. Naruto proposed his intention to be your husband" Hanabi said casually playing with her kunai.

Hinata's heartbeat beats 10 times than it usually does.

"Oh come on Nee-sama! Don't you dare faint again"

"Hanabi, what happen after I passed out" she asked eagerly.

"Hmmm… not much, the elders just want to think it over though I say they were all rooting for Naruto-nii just like me." Hanabi said with a grin. "I say he had a 100% chance of being your husband and my brother in law.

"Hanabi!" her cheeks were heating upon hearing the two words shes been hearing all day… Naruto and Husband… Husband and Naruto.

"What is it Nee-sama?" Hanabi asked curiously seeing the sadden sadness visible in Hinata's eyes. "Arent you happy that the stupid idiot finally noticed you?'"

"Its…. " and she bit her lips ones again. "Nothing" she just said. She doesn't want Hanabi to pry on her thoughts cause knowing her sister she would do reckless things for her sake.

"If it makes you feel bad that the idiot came in surprise and shocked you that much then go talk with him. He is with father right now in the study room." Hanabi said waltzing her way out of her room intentionally leaving the door open.

Hinata slowly gets up and went into the study room. She need to ask Naruto a few questions herself, she needs to hear it from him.

Is Naruto doing this for her sake? Or for the sake of him being a Hokage? Since marrying into a prestigious clan like the Hyuga clan can help him in his political status or was it Naruto had the same feeling as she does?

Thinking that way made her blush. She shook her head to take away her last thought. Naruto never had eyes for any woman . He made it clear that Sakura is only a sister to him so if he felt that way towards Sakura whom he is been with in a team for a long time then no one else would cross her mind that Naruto would like somebody else.

Gathering up all her courage to knock on the door she heard Naruto's almost yelling voice inside.

"I agreed on the proposal because Kakashi sensei asked me too. Marrying a Hyuga would help me in my political status and it will be an advancement."

And Hinata vanished into thin air after hearing those words from Naruto.

End of Flashback

"Wow! Youre so pretty Hinata!" both Ino and Sakura gasped as when they enter the room where she had her make up done and dress.

The Hyuga clan had agreed that her and Naruto's wedding would be made public for their friends to come, but Hinata knew that this is all for politics. After days of knowing why Naruto wanted to marry her, she still felt honored, if marrying her would help Naruto in any way then she will carry out her duty even if she will be in great pain inside.

She smiled eyeeing all her friends. Everyone is wearing their finest dress. Even Temari is wearing a good silk dress.

"Neji would be so proud of you." Tenten said while holding her hands together.

Hearing Neji's name made Hinata's tears escaped from her eyes.

"Tenten!" Ino scolded. "come on Hinata, its your wedding day so don't ruin your make up okay?" Ino said.

"Im sorry I didn't meant to" Tenten said feeling sorry for mentiong her old teammates name.

"Its alright, its okay! I too wish that he would be here to see all this." She said and stop all of this from happening. She mentally added.

"Naruto is here! Sakura exclaims as Naruto came into the room weraing his tuxedo and Hinata can ie after seeing how gorgeous Naruto looks like

"Hey you guys should be outside now." Naruto said " Im here to escort Hina…" Naruto stopped when his eyes landed on her. Hinata couldn't stop herself from blushing seeing Naruto's reaction.

"Oh come on Naruto! At least stop your mouth from watering." Sakura jokes seeing the blondes reaction.

"ahhh.." he coughed " you look lovely Hinata." Nauto complimented and he looked away as if he cant stand looking at her for so long but still she giver her genuine smile to him. " Thank you!"

"The Ceremony will begin now, its our cue to leave." Temari informed the others and one by one the girls went out after a few words of congratulations to both of them and a wish of luck.

Hinata sighed as Naruto finally crossed the distance between them. "Its time." He said grinning at her. Somehow she wondered if that smile of his for her one day would come from his heart.

"Ahhhh finally its over!" Naruto exclaimed as he lay down on the bed of his apartment. They will have their own house soon once its done, just a little retouch is needed before they can occupy it but now they will spend a few days in Naruto's apartment.

"Ahmmm… Naruto-kun, I think I need to shower." She said shyly.

"Ohh the bathroom is just right ther" he said pointing at the bathroom door.

"Ohh thank you!" she said and went into the bathroom with her bag where all of her clothers were placed. She sighed a relief as soon as she locked the door. Being with Naruto in a same room makes her uncomfortable and unease. Her thoughts floods on things she might say a little perverted since Ino and Tenten were giving her advice on how to sexually seduced a man. Heck! She cant even stand a minute when Naruto is around what more when she had to sexually seduced him. That would be the craziest things shell do and besides Naruto wont want such thing from her. She absent mindedly touched her lips, during the wedding they were asked to seal their wedding with a kiss and though it was short and just a smack but still his lips tiuches hers. It wasn't passionate and it would be awkward for them to do somnething like that when it was consider their first.

As Naruto's wife she should keep herself composed and put Naruto's best interest on mind.

"Finally youre done?!" Naruto exclaimed when she went out the bathroom. He was sitting on the edge of the bed still wearing his Tuxedo.

"Im sorry I didn't mean to take too long." She apologized.

"nah its…" and he stopped.

Hinata took notice of the way he is looking at her. She felt uncomfortable. Is there something wrong with her hair? Or with her sleeping nightgown?

"Is- is t-there s-something wrong Na-Naruto kun? " she asked nervously and took two step forward trying to approach him only to be greeted by him rosing up on the bed and quickly went inside the bathroom not looking or glancing at her.

And it pained her, but what can she expect? Naruto wont ever loved her. They are only married for political reasons and she had to live with it.

Two weeks after their wedding. Hinata had accustomed herself being called Lady Uzumaki. Everyday she cooks for Naruto not wanting her to eat ramen all day but healthy foods, she does what every wives would do, she prepares everything he needed for a day as a Hokage in training, they did talked now and then but only for a couple of minutes and then after that their conversation would end.

"A mission?" Kakashi raised a brow ar her.

"Hai , a mission Hokage sama".

"Why would you want to go on a mission? You're only been married for two weeks and then you want to leave? Is there some problem between you and Naruto?"

She shook her head. " I just wanted to be active, its been a while since I was given a mission and I thought maybe I can ask for one just this time. When Naruto would be proclaimed as your successor I wont be given missions like I usually does." She reasons out.

Kakashi rubbed her chin and eyed the young Uzumaki. "Are you really sure? Maybe you should talk about this to Naruto and-"

"Hokage sama" she cut him off. "I maybe his wife but I'm capable of doing things to myself and to decide what I wanted , same thing goes to Naruto kun."

Kakashi took a long paused as if registering where she finds the courage to talk without stuttering. "Okay then, Truth is there's a new escort mission that came in today. I would be sending Sai, Shikamaru and Shino for this and since your volunteering then you will replaced Shino who would arrive today after a mission. At least he can have a rest"

Hinata's mood lightens up and a small smile appears on her face.

"Thank you Hokage-sama." She bowed politely.

"Don't thank me yet Hinata, this mission is an A class escort mission that's why I literally had chosen 3 strong ninja from the different team to take this one."

"An A class?"

"Yes, and so I want you to be very careful, I would not like Naruto biting my head off when something bad would happen to you on this mission."

"I will be extremely cautious Hokage-sama" She said amidst of the small blush that appears on her cheeks when Kakshi describes Naruto's overportectiveness. Sure she knows how Naruto can be overprotective but this is Naruto we are talking about he is always overprotective towards his friends.

"A mission?!" Naruto exclaimed.

Hinata took notice on how Naruto's chopstick stop in the middle of him eating his favorite dinner that Hinata always cook for him.

"Hai" she nodded and look at him intensely. Deep inside Hinata wanted Naruto to convince her to change her mind.

"For how long?"

"A couple of day or weeks, I still don't know actually cause its an escort mission." She said.

There was a long paused as if Naruto is battling himself on what to say. But later on he forced a grin to her.

"Do your best!" He cheered and then left his half eaten dinner. It was like he is in a hurry.

"Where are you going?"Naruto stopped halfway from the door when she asked.

"I forgot I have an important thing to do with the Hokage tonight. Don't wait for me and just get ready on your mission tomorrow." He said smiling a little at her and then he took his leave.

Oh great! Now Naruto cant wait to have her gone, he cant even stand to be with her for a long period of time. Its been like this since their marriage. Naruto would leave the house after dinner and then came to bed so late at night. She knew, cause she stubbornly waits for him to come home. She wanted to be the first to say "Welcome Home" to him but she always ends up pretending to be asleep in their bed. They haven't done what Ino calls the holy activity of a married couple. How could they? They barely talked and spend time together.

With a heavy heart Hinata packed her things to bring on the mission. This mission requires her to get ready for a long period of time. What was she thinking asking Kakashi to send her off to a mission? She just wanted to breathe a fresh air away from Naruto. She cant breathe properly when he is around, she stutters a lot despite her trying not to. She need to be away in order to think and collect herself. After this mission she promised to be the new Hinata. She will carry on her duty as Naruto's wife and as his political partner as he intended her to be.

Everyday those words would ring like a bell everytime she wakes up reminding her that she aint living in a fairytale, that she is a woman married for a political and diplomatic reason and so she badly needed to get away for now.

She absentmindedly look at the ring on her finger. The ring that binds her and Naruto, she love wearing this ring so much but this time she would want to take it off. she cant afford to lost it if anything might go wrong on this A class mission. She gently placed it beside her and Naruto's wedding photo.

"Well I'm all set" Hinata said as she gently carry her bag. Leaving a note to Naurto on what to do if he wanted to cook for his self or something. He didn't came back home last night. He might fell asleep again in Kakashi's house or office or in his old apartment which he still keeps on visiting.

"Gomenasai Shikamaru-san, Sai-san, I didn't mean to be late.''Hinata apologetically bowed a couple of times seeing them waiting for her in the main gate.

"Don't stress out Hinata, we Just got here."

"Goodmorning Hinata-san"Sai greeted her along with his famous smile that Hinata knew is different from the one he usually had. Said had troubles in the past and ones he said to her that Naruto had taught him how to really smile, and that what makes Hinata even more proud of Naruto.

"It seems like you forget to say goodbye to someone. "Sai commented seeing Naruto who is still in his yesterdays clothes walking towards them.

"Naruto kun?" Hinata is surprised she didn't think that Naruto would see her off or so she thought.

"Naruto just make it quick" Shikamaru said and grabbed Sai away from the couple as they went on ahead.

There was a moment of silence. No one knows how to begin and Hinata can feel how awkward it is for Naruto.

"Ahmm…Hinata." He started. "Just stay safe." He said looking straightly at her. "whatever happens I want you to stay safe and come back home safely."

Hinata blushed at the intense way of him saying it.

"Hai" she nodded and decided to do something out of the ordinary. She lean and kissed him on the cheeks and as before Naruto could react she sprint away following the trail that Sai and Shikamaru left.

"Are you okay Hinata-san?" Sai asked seeing how flushed she was.

"Ahh.. Ha-hai!" she stuttered.

"Well if youre okay, I wonder if the dickless would be." Sai said earning a smile from Shikamaru by which Hinata is puzzled as to what he mean.
