After a long night of talking to different princes people started to leave. She saw that Neji seemed to click with some brunette but Hinata had no idea who she was. She even met two princes from a Kingdom in the Desert but the redheaded one did not seem to want to be there and the other had interest in someone else at the party. She met all kinds of men but none of them made her stomach flutter, none of them made her heart pound, and none of them made her blush madly like that handsome blonde. She sighed softly and gave small smiled to everyone who was leaving. She glanced around as she noticed the last group to leave was the desert family. Three sibling bowed, Hinata curtsied back and she noticed the brunette of the group smirk before he left. She sighed softly and looked around the room, it was getting cleaned by the maids. Her father was speaking with her cousin, Neji—more like brother. She bites her lip as she looked around and watched her father walk over.

"Hello father." Hinata said softly.

"Hello, How was tonight?" He asked.

"It was good father, I love the food." She mumbled softly.

"No mumbling and I wasn't talking about the food. Or the dancing. I was speaking about meeting someone."

"Oh...um, somewhat. I met a lot of nice men. Very gentleman like."

"Anyone interesting? Anyone seem like a worthy suitor?"

"Oh...I'm not sure, father."

Hinata bites her lip softly and looked at her hands. Her father watched and glared a little bit. She knew he was going to be angry for not being interested in anyone but she couldn't find anyone. She couldn't find anyone at all. Her father groaned and started to walk away from her.

"I met a few suitors for you. Rich, strong, great leader. Plenty." He said and walked to his room.

"Alright father." Hinata nodded softly and sighed.

Hinata slowly looked up and say her taller brother stand over her. He glared a bit and she shrunk into herself. Neji was a lot like father and ever since her father adopted him the brunette was the favorite. Hiashi had forgotten about Hanabi and Hinata and immediately favorited Neji. The violet haired girl rarely was mad about anything but just how her father treated the two girl made her angry.

"Hello brother-" Hinata started But was cut off quickly.

"I'm not your brother, I am Neji to you. Why must you be so difficult? Pick a man and marry. That simple, you infuriating woman." Neji growled out to her.

"It isn't that simple, Neji." She said back but she felt herself crumbling a bit.

"It is. You have upset father and now I have to deal with your problems." Neji slowly moved away and started to walk to his room, "Don't forgot to go to the metalworker tomorrow night. If anything is wrong, make dad aware."

"Yes Neji."

Hinata nodded softly as she stood there, looking down at the ground. She hated how he spoke to her, how he thought so little of her. She slowly turned around and walked up the stairs slowly. He was right though, she needed to make a decision or her father was going to pick for her. She didn't want to. She didn't want to marry any of those guys. She slowly got into her room and groaned loudly. She sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes, I hate this... She closed her lilac eyes and felt her sadness settle in. She didn't want this at all. She hugged herself close and whimpered, feeling tears well up. She jolted when the door opened but she relax when she saw her brunette friend.

"Hinata, jeez. What happened?" Kiba said quickly as he came inside and close the door.

"I...I don't want to marry any of those guys...K.Kiba I can't do that..." Hinata said gently and started to cry.

"Oh shit, it's okay Hinata.." he came over quickly and sat by her as she cried. "It's okay...m.maybe your dad will get a good one for you. I think you'll be okay."

"I don't love any of them. Neji keeps talking me down...I'm tired of how I'm b.being treated. I want to love who I want."

"I know...I bet it's really hard. I wish I could help you more."

Kiba stood up slowly and grabbed her night gown from the closest. Then he went over to the bathroom and damped a towel, coming back and starting to clean the makeup off her face. She sighed softly and lets him clean her up, she grabbed her dress softly and looked down. She blinked a few times and once he finished up she stood up and he held her take off the layers of the dress.

"I wish I could be you. Be a man and not have to marry..." Hinata said softly.

"I'd love to take your spot. I met a prince there that was really cute and nice. But ya know, I'm not a princess so it's not gonna work." Kiba sighed.

"You met someone? Really? Who was it?" She smiled slowly.

"It was the prince from the desert. Not the redhead but the other. He's really nice." He smiled back as he gave her the nightgown.

"Awe, that's so sweet! I'm so glad you found someone." She smiled and started to get dressed.

"His name is Kankuro. We talked the whole night except when he had to dance with you."

"That's sweet. I wish I could've found someone who was a prince..."

"Who was a prince...? Did you meet some other guy who's not royalty?"

Hinata blushed and sighed as she felt over the silk lilac gown. She blushed even more as she tucked her hair back. Kiba grinned brightly as he looked at her, he clapped his hands together. She grinned as she sat back and felt over the blankets.

"Soooo? Give me some details. What's his name? What does he look like? Is he nice?" Kiba smiled more as he watched her blush.

"I don't know his name...I haven't even talked to him but I watch him sometimes...he seems so sweet. I get to see him tomorrow because he's making my gate for the garden." Hinata smiled softly.

"Ooo~I'll be your guard for tomorrow. Make sure he's good enough for you. I'll take Akamaru as our guard too. You dad hates him." He smiled.

"Yes, I'm so excited to finally talk to him. Thank you so much for being here for me, Kiba."

"Well I have to, don't I? I am your servant." He laughed a little.
