Memories

"Whats wrong?" Hanabi said as she saw her sister wiping her tears and her eyes and face was both red.
"H..hanabi!" Hinata stammered and was taken aback.
"You are crying?" Hanabi asked.
"N..no..no" hinata lied.
Hanabi approached her.
"You know you can't lie to me onee chan!" Hanabi said.
Hinata sobbed quietly.
"Did he hurt you? This bastard..i'll go and..." hanabi growled and was going outside when hinata grabbed her wrists.
"N..no hanabi..wait wait" hinata hiccuped.
Hanabi stopped and looked into her sister.
"You are drenched, lets dry you off first" hanabi said and took her sister's hands and dragged her inside.

Hanabi was drying her sister's long indigo hair.
Hinata just changed to comfortable dry clothes, and took a warm shower.
"So..tell me what happened, and are these his clothes" hanabi asked.
Hinata nodded slowly.
"So, what happened?" Hanabi asked again as she started to comb her sister's hair.
Hinata sighed.
After mere seconds of silence, hinata started to talk.
"Its..its silly...you know.." hinata said.
"Hinata...speak already" hanabi whined and her voice was commanding for her sister to start and talk already.
Hinata sighed and gathered all her strength.
"I..its nothing..really, just me and my head..." hinata stammered.
Hanabi glared at her sister reflection in the mirror.
"Okay..its not my right..but..i..." hinata said.
"The night it was so cool, hanabi, he took me to the beach and we had that awesome romantic dinner under moonlight..." hinata said and her eyes shimmered.
Hanabi was smiling.
"And we even kissed" she said.
"Hontoniiiiii" hanabi squeaked.
"Yes..yes" she covered her blushing face with her palms.
"Then why are you crying..." hanabi asked.
"Its just...after that beautiful night that i have never imagined someone would do such for me, we..." she sighed.
"I..mean...we ran into this girl, she had awesome purple short hair, and beautiful eyes...hanabi she was extremely beautiful...like...i wasn't even a thing by her..." hinata said.
"Hinata...listen...you are beautiful! I mean..half of the men in this town are trying to be your suitors!!! Didn't neji nii san always said that?" Hanabi said.
"Ha..hai...b..but" she stammered.
"No buts...continue! What happened" hanabi asked as she braided her hair.
"She kissed him...i mean on his cheeks..." hinata said.
Hanabi's eyes widened.
"I..mean its silly ne? Why should i be upset..." hinata's voice cracked.
Hanabi eyed hinata intently.
"Are you jealous..." hanabi asked.
"N..no no of course not, why would i..." hinata lied, but hanabi raised an eye brow and glared at her.
Hinata sighed and nodded slowly.
"Did you fall for him?" Hanabi asked.
Hinata's eyes widened and she was bewildered.
Did she? Was it even enough?
She didn't knew him for that long ne?
How people know they are in love anyway? How people would fall in love anyway.
"I..i don't know..i mean..." she stammered.
"You like him..ne?" Hanabi asked
Hinata nodded slowly.
"I like him and he doesn't even like me!" Hinata sobbed.
"And how did you know?" Hanabi asked.
"I know because we are to be wed and he was forced like i was..." hinata hiccuped.
"Hinata...listen, why would he go that far to see you and even take you on a date...like you wished even if he doesn't feel the slightest like towards you?" Hanabi asked.
"Maybe he wants us to build a friendship...or maybe he doesn't want to be complicated?" Hinata asked
"Then he won't take you on a date you wished for, and even remember what you want! " hanabi retorted.
Hinata eyed her sister intently.
Maybe she was right.
Why would someone go that far for someone who didn't feel the least bit of like?
Or even remembered their perfect date?
Well, maybe he was just a gentleman, a man of honor? Maybe he had strong memory.
"Hanabi..., you got to see her..she is different from i am..." hinata whined.
"Even if..so what?" Hanabi retorted.
"We just need to focus on ourselves" hanabi said.
Hinata nodded.
"After we know who she really is..." hanabi smirked.
Hinata giggled.
"Do you recall her name?" Hanabi asked.
"Hai..she went by konan..." hinata said.
"Okay, leave the rest to me" Hanabi retorted.
"Hai" hinata sighed.

"You are kidding...konan!!!" Naruto whined.
Sasuke sipped his beer as he sat on the bar and nodded slowly.
"What a cruel timing..ne..sasuke?" Gaara mocked.
"I just don't know..the moment i just go on with my life, she pops up like a plague!" Sasuke cringed.
"Well, sasuke, don't let it bother you..you still love her anyway?" Naruto asked.
"Pff..of course not!" Sasuke puffed.
"Then nande?" Gaara asked as he put out his cigarette.
Sasuke was taken aback by the question.
Why was he upset!
He can deny it all he wants, but he was upset because hinata was there and she saw the kiss.
Maybe she is even upset, maybe she'd call off the wedding.
Sasuke was scared, he was scared she'd call it off.
And why do he wants to be her suitor so much?
Sasuke is a handsome man, every girl in this town were worshiping the ground he walked on.
It won't be hard for him to find a girl.
Right?
But sasuke doesn't want any girl.
He wants the pale orbed girl, the hyuga.
She was interesting, her cute blushes, he gentle voice, her interests, she had knowledge and loved reading like he did.
She was selfless.
She deserved someone to cherish her.
Naruto saw sasuke's spacing out.
His eyes widened and his mouth gaped.
"No...way!!!!" Naruto grinned.
"You love her!!!!!" Naruto chuckled mockery.
"Yurusaiii" sasuke scowled.

The next day, hinata got up, and headed to work.
As she was on her way to her work, she saw the purple haired girl again.
Her eyes widened and she was thinking of following her.
She stopped then and dismissed this silly thought away.
But what can you say, curiosity kills the cat.
Hinata followed konan down the streets, she soon realized konan was heading somewhere near sasuke's mansion.
As she walked, trying to keep a distance, hinata's eyes widened as she saw sasuke was going out of his house, hinata hide behind a tree and peeked.
She heard konan calling sasuke.
Sasuke stopped and seemed to be frozen to see her again.
She couldn't quiet hear what they were talking about, but she saw konan trying to hold his hands but he suddenly placed them inside his pockets.
Hinata felt a little victory.
Soon, konan placed her hands over his cheeks and was stroking it.
Sasuke took a step back, and he furrowed his eyes brows.
Hinata sighed and felt silly for peeking and not trusting sasuke or herself.
But jealousy got the best of her.
As she was going to turn around, her eyes widened as she saw konan tiptoed and kissed sasuke on his lips.
Hinata's eyes widened and the tears started to fall.
She turned around to run.

"Konan...what are you doing her" sasuke snorted.
"I..wanted to see you" konan whined as she tried to hold his hands.
Sasuke pulled away.
"Konan...i" sasuke sighed.
Konan tried to cup his cheek and silence him.
Sasuke pulled back.
"What do you want konan!" Sasuke snorted.
"You" she tiptoed and kissed him.
Sasuke pushed her away roughly.
"What the fuck!!!! Konan" sasuke growled and pushed her to the side.
"Don't fucking show me your face again! Understood" sasuke pointed his finger threatening her, with a growl.

Sasuke had a foul mood, what the fuck! Why is she there!
First she ruined his good evening with hinata.
Now his day!
Sasuke scoffed and cursed.
He went into the cinnamon roll shop and brought a box of cinnamon and some chocolates.
He brought a bouquet of roses, he knew hinata was upset.
Her face showed it, and he had to fix everything.
Sasuke headed to her nursery, and decided to surprise her.

Hinata had her break, she decided to get to the coffee shop by her nursery.
She wasn't in the mood, she couldn't focus on her job, so kiba asked her to take a time off and he'd cover her.
As she was heading, to the shop, suddenly she bumped to someone.
"Gomennesaiii..." She stammered.
She widened her eyes as she met those pale orbs.
"T..toneri!!!" She yelped.
"Hello hinata" the white haired man smiled at her.

Sasuke saw hinata bumping to someone and he stopped and decided to watch from afar.

"Hi, toneri" she smiled.
"Hi hinata, how have you been doing?" Toneri asked.
She gulped.
"I..am fine..." she stammered.
"Coffee break?" Toneri asked.
She nodded.
"Would you like to have some with me" toneri asked.
"I...don't have time..." she excused herself.
"Its just for few minutes..." toneri discussed.
Hinata finally gave up and nodded.
She wasn't in the mood to dodge or listen or talk to someone but its Toneri.

Hinata and Toneri sat across each other, he handed her a hot chocolate and ordered for himself coffee.
"I missed you" he said.
"T..toneri...i..." she stammered.
"I heard you are to be wed..is that right?" Toneri asked.
She nodded.
He held her hands.
"Are you sure you'll be alright? Sasuke uchiha is a hard man, he won't treat you like you suppose to be treated hinata..." Toneri said.
Hinata sighed.
"I..i know...b..but i have to...i mean, he shall take a chance, ne?" Hinata stammered.
"Hinata, he has a past..bad past with girls..." Toneri said.
"Who hasn't Toneri" she continued.
"Hinata you deserve the best, neji made me promise i'd take care of you!" Toneri said.
"I...i'll be fine Toneri" she smiled.
Toneri leaned to caress her cheeks, suddenly, his hands stopped midway when someone grabbed his hands tightly.
Toneri and hinata looked up, to see an uchiha glaring death glares to Toneri.
"S..sasuke.." she stammered, and he pushed toneri back.
Suddenly, sasuke grabbed hinata by her arms roughly, he pulled her and dragged her.
"W..wait..sa..sa" hinata was interrupted by sasuke's growl.
"Yurusaaaaiiii" his voice was of a snort.
Toneri watched in awe as he was going to stop him.
Sasuke glared at him.
"Stay out of this or i'd torture you in the worst ways..." sasuke threatens.
Hinata signed for Toneri to stand down.
He pulled her out of the cafe and she was wincing in pain.
