Hinata's POV

The music wasn't so loud, there were just too many people. With my golden mask on, Sasuke and I weaved through the crowd.

I had asked Sasuke and Itachi's family if they did run into Naruto to not say anything about me being the doctor he blindly hired.

"When I'm ready, I'll face him," I had said.

The Uchihas respected that.

So Sasuke and I did the first thing anybody should do at a party, headed straight to the food bar. It's so nice to hang out with Sasuke again. He was willing to put the past eight years behind him and I will, too.

I can't complete the rest of my life without him in it, scolding me for stupid and vice versa.

Little hands touched my legs, nearly making me choke on my drink. I looked down and was surprised to see little Daisuke barely able to stand while holding onto my leg.

I bent down and picked the little boy up. He's a little fishy... hasn't smiled at me one yet he can't detached himself from me.

"You're odd, Daisuke you know that?" I murmured to him.

He didn't understand a single thing I said. So he threw his tiny arms around my neck and hugged me extremely tight.

Sasuke laughed, "He really likes you."

"I got that much, idiot now get him off me."

"No can do Bookworm," he smiled. "Once Daisuke's attached he'll never let go. Think of him like a little leech."

I sighed.

"Sasuke!"

I froze completely. My body shook violently, my blood was no longer flowing. Daisuke looked shocked as if he felt my panicked heartbeats breaking my chest open.

Daisuke suddenly slapped my masked face, "Tha kk."

I blinked as his soft baby hand rested on my nose. If I spoke language I'm gonna translate it into, it's okay.

Awww thank you Daisuke.

Sasuke quickly blocked my view with a, "Yo."

Some kind of bro hug happened as I turned my back to the them, trying to pretend I was a mother looking for food for my child.

"You actually made it, way to go," the visitor patted Sasuke's back.

I started admiring the rows and rows of turkey sandwiches along with a giant bowl of punch for those who didn't want the cherry and grape wine right next to the bowl.

I glanced at Sasuke's broad back as he moved to cover my view completely.

"Yeah if I didn't come, you'd take me out drinking until Kiriko comes and drags me out by the ear," Sasuke answered.

The visitor replied, with a smirk in his voice, "You're welcome for being your stress reliver."

I've never, ever thought about this moment once in all the years I didn't see him. He never cared enough to call so I always thought he was happier moving on with Valerie.

"Is Daisuke here? Mags really wants to see him," the visitor continued.

"Uhhhhh," Sasuke nearly panicked right then and there, "C-check with Kiriko. He might be with her."

"Alright," the visitor shrugged. "I'll let Magnolia know then."

My heart beat slowly returned to normal as the stranger starting walking away only to stop and turn around, "I'm gonna get a sandwich. You want some?"
