Thread: A Middle Age Naruto RP (Yajirobe and LadyYunaFFX2)

Kushina looked up quickly in thought of her husband's words. As her eyes met his, she snuck a brief but passionate kiss upon his lips. Allowing a hand to intertwine with one of his, her mind wasted little time beginning to think of ideas on how to go about this meeting. It had many touchy and sensitive subjects. One wrong question, sentence, word or anything of the like ... and things could go from neutral to horrid in a matter of seconds. But, then again, that was how politics tended to work, she knew. Well ... we'll see. Personally, I think there should be a way to allow for Naruto to have some say in this matter. She finally replied, her steps quickening slightly to avoid being more late than they were. Still, she gave a light nod of agreement. But, yes, a meeting will definitely be something we should allow for Naruto to have ... She added, determined eyes remaining ahead to avoid having either herself or her spouse run into anything --- or anyone on the way to the meeting place. As Hiashi's voice echoed gently in Hinata's ears, she nodded and swallowed nervously. Y-yes, Father. She replied softly, her fingers now messing slightly with the fabric underneath the table. There had been a secret the Princess had held for years ... and most of everyone knew of it. Her father, unfortunately, was one of those whom she hadn't had the courage to say it to. But for years, her eyes had been upon the Uzumaki prince. Even to this day, she couldn't honestly explain what it was about him ... his charisma? Regardless, there was definitely something, there had been for so long. But worse than having failed to bring this up to her father, she had been horrified to bring it up to the young Naruto himself. But how could she? It'd likely upset not only Lord Uchiha but the balance and peace the clans had worked for years to keep and maintain. That alone made her heart sink, her head silently bowing. No sooner than her cousin was brought up did Hinata inwardly flinch. There had been several times Hiashi had pushed for her to marry him. Alas, though, Hinata saw him as an honorable man and spouse but not to herself. He was handsome and strong, no doubts on that ... but she didn't view him in the same intimate light she'd done so with Naruto for years. Already, the talk was beginning to get tense and it added onto poor Hinata's anxieties. Her heart raced even more as the door opened yet again .... It had taken a good ten or so minutes but finally, Kushina walked in, Minato close beside her. Light pants left for a few moments before she regained her composure. Her cheeks matched her hair color, clearly embarrassed that they were indeed late. Deepest apologies, Lord Uchiha and Hyuuga ... She replied firmly, bowing her head to each and taking her own seat. She snuck another glance around the table and then - upon seeing Hinata to be at this meeting - offered her a reassuring smile, not knowing the rather ironic situation the Princess was in. It'd be so easy ... for Hinata to speak up and finally get her feelings and confession off her chest. But ... her father was right beside her! How could she dare do so, let alone in front of the other Lords and Ladies? Poor Hinata's heart raced more ... and never in her life had she hoped for a way to leave a room so swiftly.
