Hiya ^o^ This is my first Naruto fanfiction and I'm excited about this. However, I don't read the manga and as for the anime, I'm only on episode 90 so things will be OOC for sure . I apologize in advance! I absolutely love Hinata with the Akatsuki so I wanted to try making one of my own story with her paired up with one of the Akatsuki. For those who were reading my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction, I'm currently re-writting everything and changing quite a lot of things. I'm not sure when that will be up again though... Sorry! . Anyways....

Summary: Lady Hinata is finally betrothed to the man she has always loved and dreamed of and there's a huge party to celebrate! However, she catches him sharing a passionate kiss with another woman. Unable to face the truth, the princess runs away but is she safe when there are rumors going around that the infamous group Akatsuki are back in town?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any characters from Naruto.

Nobody But You

Chapter One: Happy Birthday, Princess Hinata!

Eighteen year-old Hinata Hyuga sighed as she looked out of her bedroom window, watching the sunset. Today was her birthday yet there was no celebration of any sort. Not even the servants said anything because it was not in their place to speak without permission. Ever since she could remember, the princess of Konoha had always been locked up in her father's castle and could only admire the world from her bedroom window. It was like she was in her own separate world, she didn't even know what was going on in the village beneath her or what kind of people her family were ruling over! However, every once in awhile her father would throw a ball and Hinata was allowed to socialize with others of the same class as her. And during one of those balls, she met him. Prince Naruto Uzumaki.

Hinata let out another sigh, her soft lilac eyes were now roaming over the snow-covered village. It was a warm summer night when they met. She was out in the garden for some fresh air and he had fallen out of a tree right in front of her. It was love at first site for her and her feelings for him grew whenever he flashed her a friendly smile or said "Hello" to her. However, she would always feel uneasy whenever her father made a disapproving comment about the blond prince.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"C-Come in!" Hinata squeaked, walking away from the window. The door opened and her cousin, Neji, walked in. He was frowning. "Lady Hinata, you're in your night gown already?" he asked, closing the door behind him. Hinata tilted her head to the side. "Y-yes… Y-You should kn-know that F-Father doesn't want m-me out o-once the s-sun sets…" Hiashi Hyuga was a strict man who showed very little emotion and made sure that all laws were followed. Not even his own clan members were exempted from the laws… Maybe except for Neji Hyuga, who was the only one who Hiashi favored but Neji wasn't a fool to take advantage of that. All the clan members could see that Neji had great potential and was possibly the one next in line of the throne instead of Hiashi's own daughter.

Neji walked over to her closet and pulled out a decent yet pretty white gown. "Get changed, quickly. Your father wishes for your presence downstairs immediately," he said sternly, handing her the dress. Hinata looked at her cousin, tilting her head to the side. "I-I'm n-not in trouble… am I?"

"Trouble? No. You better hurry though or Uncle will change his mind about your… birthday present."

Hinata stared at her cousin who was wearing a mischievous smirk on his face. She wasn't sure what to think of this and it slightly frightened her. Her father had never really celebrated her birthday or given a present that made her cousin smirk. Once Neji was out of her room, Hinata quickly pulled her nightgown over her head and slipped on inside the white gown. She then put on some matching heels and brushed her long hair quickly before walking out of her room where Neji and her personal guards Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka were waiting for her.

In a few minutes, the group reached the throne room but only Neji and Hinata entered while Shino and Kiba were out to stand guard. Hinata held her breath and felt her face heat up. Ahead of her was her father, who was talking to King Minato and him. She gently bit her lower lip, wondering what in the world was going on. Why was her dreamy Prince Naruto here? Neji gently nudged her and Hinata finally gasped out for air before they reached the group.

"Ah, thank you for escorting Hinata here, Neji," Hiashi said with an acknowledged nod. Neji politely bowed down to his Uncle and their guests before stepping back, fading away into the background. Hiashi then turned a stern eye to his daughter, causing her to flinch. Hinata quickly turned to Minato and Naruto, giving them a sloppy curtsy. Ah, stupid! You're a failure princess! she thought as she stood up straight and gave Naruto a quick glance. He wasn't looking at her and wasn't his cheerful usual self. In fact, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Hinata lowered her eyes, now staring at the floor. Was he displeased with her curtsy? I wouldn't blame him… However, she prayed to the heavens that he wouldn't hate her just for that. "Princess Hinata has certainly blossomed into a beautiful young lady, hasn't she, Naruto?" King Minato asked as he gave a charming smile to the princess. Hinata blushed and squeaked out a 'thank you'. However, she felt uneasy when Naruto didn't say anything until his father elbowed him. "Huh? O-Oh. Y-Yes…" he managed to stammer out.

"Hinata, King Minato and I have arranged a marriage between you and Prince Naruto. You two will be wed in a few weeks."

"Yes! Naruto has told me that he is quite fond of you and this will be an opportunity to bring both our clans closer."

Hinata gave the blond king a shy smile, her heart pounding against her chest. H-He's fond of m-me? I-I can't b-believe it! The Hyuga princess wanted to scream for joy and thank the heavens that her dreams of becoming Prince Naruto's bride were finally coming true. S-So this is wh-why N-Neji-kun w-was sm-smirking like that! She turned to Naruto and put on her best smile. "I-It is an honor, t-to become y-your bride, Prince N-Naruto," she said sweetly. Naruto turned to her and smiled back, giving relief to Hinata's heart. So he wasn't upset with her unlady-like curtsy!

"Neji. Please escort Hinata back to her room… Namikaze-san, Prince Naruto, please follow me. I will escort you two to your rooms." Hiashi then quickly left with the two blond men, leaving his daughter and nephew in the throne room.

Neji stepped forward, behind Hinata and wore a smirk on his face. "So… how does it feel to be engaged to Prince Naruto?" he teased, knowing that his cousin was practically obsessed with the blond prince although he had no idea why. That blond prince was troublesome and a nuisance. "Lady Hinata…? Lady Hinata!" Neji held out his arms and caught the fainted princess just in time. He looked down at her and bit down on his lower lip to keep himself from laughing his head off. "Hehehe…. Happy birthday, Lady Hinata."

Thank you for reading! I'm not sure when the Akatsuki will show up though... x] Tee hee hee.
