I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY CHARACTERS FROM NARUTO! Masashi Kishimoto does!

Sorry it is such a short chapter , but I am still working out the story.

Main Pairing: NaruHina
So far I have NejiTen, but I would like some other pairings too. It would be awesome if I can get some suggestions as to what pairings I should put in...

Ok, Last thing. It would be awesome if people could reveiw this. Give me your ideas too!

Just to clarify any confusions
Anima are half human half animal


Chapter One

"I forbid you, Hinata!" Hiashi yelled for the umpteenth time this week. Hinata tried very hard not to roll her eyes at her father who was seething with anger. His vein was pulsating on his forehead. Oh great I got him really mad. I got to think of a way to calm him down? Oh where is Neji when you need him? "Look, he could really hurt you…You don't know what that monster could do to you." MONSTER? OH THAT TEARS IT!

"Father, just because he is half fox and half human does not make him a monster!" Hinata yelled at her father. She was tired of people always saying that the Animas were not human, but monsters that prey on the weak. Hinata could see that Hiashi wanted to say more, but she ran out of the Hyuga mansion before he got the chance. He knew exactly who she was going to see, but could not do anything about it. He will have to wait and bide his time. Maybe his daughter will grow out of this phase and realize that Animas were monsters, and cannot live in harmony with humans, ever.

Hinata ran. Her long raven hair whipped around in the wind as she ran through the town towards the forest where the only person who understands her lives, Naruto. Her lavender colored eyes started searching for the hyperactive blonde Anima. She spotted him near the river drinking. His orange colored fox tail lay beside him, and his orange fox ears twitched when they picked up her scent. He stood as he slowly turned to face her. She smiled. His only animal like features were his tail, ears, his claws, and his keen smell. Other than that he was human. His blue eyes lit up when he saw her approach him. His stunning smile quickly turned into a frown when he saw Hinata's tears roll down her porcelain face. She had not realized she was crying until Naruto used his thumb to wipe away her tears. Hinata blushed until her face was a bright shade of crimson. Naruto pulled her close, "Hinata-chan, what's wrong?" His voice filled with concern. With those words her eyes opened huge floodgates of tears. She cried and cried into Naruto's bare chest. His skin is so warm. Ah! What am I thinking? Ugh stupid perverted thoughts! She clung unto Naruto tighter which caused the blonde Anima to blush.

He stood there holding her for thirty minutes before she pulled away. He had to fight the urge to pull her back into his arms. "So, you going to tell me what's wrong?" He asked again. Hinata really did not want to tell him because he would just blame himself for it, but at the same time he was the only person she could open up to. She sighed.

"I got into a fight with my father again…"she began to trail off when she notices the hint of anger on Naruto's face.

"It was because of me, wasn't it?" He asked while letting out a low feral growl. She put her hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. He slowly began to relax from his tense position.

"Naruto-kun, I won't tell you why I'm upset if you blame yourself. It is not your fault. It is whoever came up with the sick idea that Animas are monsters. Look, my father is just trying to protect me, but he doesn't understand that you would never hurt me. He is just like everyone else, but don't worry. When I become clan leader, I'll make them see the good side to you. I promise." She smiled at him. He sighed before giving her one of his goofy grins that she loved so much. "So, what shall we do?"

"Well, I have a place I want to show you…"

"Really? Where, Naruto-kun?" Hinata jumped in excitement. I wonder if she would even like it…UGH these are the times I wish I was human, so I could know if she would even find it interesting!

"Ha ha, you'll just have to wait and see!" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand as he headed deeper into the forest. Hinata blushed when she realized how perfectly his hand fit into hers and how nice it felt. Little did she know, Naruto was having the same exact thoughts…

Back at Hyuga Manor

"Damn it, Hinata-sama, why can't you just stay in your room." Neji said in exasperation. He was now getting use to finding Hinata's room empty even though she is supposed to be in it. He let out a sigh. His lavender eyes landed on the calendar in Hinata's room. One week from today would be Hinata's nineteenth birthday. He ran his hand through his long brown hair that is tied in a low ponytail. Hiashi-sama is probably looking for a husband for Hinata right now. Hinata-sama will not like this one bit. Neji let out another concerned sigh before entering his apartment. Since he is Hiashi's nephew, Neji gets his own apartment that his connected to the Hyuga Manor. His wife Tenten walked up to him; her stomach was getting bigger and bigger. It would not be long before their first born child enters the world. Neji smiled as he looked at his wife. Well, whoever Hinata-sama ends up with, I just hope they can make her happy just like how Tenten has made me happy. Tenten giggled see her husband with such a cute grin on his face. It has become a regular thing for him to smile; nevertheless, it never ceases to take her breath away.

"Neji?" a stern voice came from the other side of the door. Neji looked at Tenten; they both nodded. That voice could only belong to one person: Hiashi Hyuga. Neji opened the door to the older Hyuga. Hiashi attempted to smile, but failed miserably.

"Is there something I could help you with, Hiashi-sama?" Neji politely asked. He honestly just wanted Hiashi out. He wanted to spend some time with his very pregnant wife, but he did not wish to upset the Head Hyuga.

"Is Hinata here by any chance?" Hiashi asked. He was secretly hoping his daughter did not go to the wood like he thought she did.

Neji was about to answer when Tenten cut in. "Hiashi-sama, Hinata is right now in our guest room. She asked if she could spend the night here, and of course I could never say no to her." Neji smiled at his wife. She was so sharp, especially with her weapons.

"Oh, well tell her in the morning that I need to speak with her," Hiashi commanded as he headed out the door. "thank-you for your time." As soon as the door closed behind them Neji and Tenten let out a small sigh of relief. They did not necessarily believe Hinata about Animas not being monsters, but whenever she came back from seeing that fox , she would be so happy that everyone became happy as well. In the Hyuga Manor, no, in all of Konoha, everybody loved Hinata.
