"Food, really?" asked Naruto. "Don't you have servants or something that can make you food?"
"Of course I do, but I want you to take me somewhere for lunch," declared Hanabi as she poked Naruto in the chest.
"Alright then," said Naruto a little uncertainly. "I haven't been to the ramen bar for a while."
"Very well, lead the way," said Hanabi a little too forcefully. As they walked down the street Naruto couldn't help but feel a little uncertain about this whole situation. It wasn't that he didn't mind the company but it seemed unnatural. Even when they were walking down the street Naruto noticed how the civilians seemed to simply split in order to not get in their way and he couldn't help but wonder whether they knew to simply just not get in Hanabi's way. If that was the case, just what had he gotten himself into?
Eventually the pair of them reached Naruto's favorite dining area and took a couple of seats. "Hey," said Naruto as he was greeted by Ayame.
"Naruto, Hanabi-sama," said Ayame as she gave a light bow towards the young Hyuga. Naruto looked between Hanabi and Ayame wondering just why the ramen chef was being so polite to the girl. "Shall I assume that you want me to...you know..."
"Indeed, it would be much appreciated," said Hanabi.
"Very well, I shall get cooking right away," said Ayame as she went to the back of the building to start cooking.
"Umm, we didn't have to tell her what we wanted?" asked Naruto uncertainly.
"I have frequented here upon occasion with my sister," stated Hanabi, not really answering Naruto's question.
"I see," said Naruto having expected the young girl to say more. There was a bit of an uncomfortable silence before Ayame brought forth two bowls of ramen and placed them in front of Hanabi and Naruto.
"Please enjoy," said Ayame before retreating back into the kitchen likely to clean the utensils that had been used to make the food.
While Hanabi began eating in a fashion far too formal for a small establishment Naruto began inhaling his food with gusto as he usually would. Halfway through the bowl however it became evident that something wasn't quite right as his eyelids began to become heavy. "What the?" he said as he rubbed at his eyes before he fell off of the stool, unable to maintain his balance.
"Sleep well Naruto," said Hanabi with a devilish smile as Naruto's world went black.
...
As Naruto woke up he found himself in a dark room, with only the smallest of windows to provide any source of light.
"You're finally awake," said Hanabi startling Naruto somewhat. "Don't even try to use your chakra, this room is specially designed to prevent anybody from using any techniques other than Hyuga family techniques."
"What do you want from me?" asked Naruto as he tried to get to his feet but unable to because of his situation.
