"Who is this?" Sasuke said as he gripped her arms tightly, pulling her towards him.
His tone was malice and his grip was hard.
Hinata winced.
"He is...just my senior" hinata said.
"Liar!!! Is your senior so much acquainted like that with you!" Sasuke spat.
"He is, i spent much time working with him" hinata shivered.
"Who is he and why he is acting like that?" He spat again.
"Why are you doing this? Ordering me around being so much possessive? Didn't you want this marriage to be off? And besides i saw you kissing her and we haven't even talked about!" Hinata whined.
"Talked about what? Konan? Okay fine hinata, she is just my ex...i was pushed to marry her! And luckily, as all girls who wanted wealth, i didn't love her not a little bit and i broke up with her, and you were so smart to peek and see her kissing me but just couldn't see how i pushed her away, ne?" Sasuke spat.
Hinata's eyes widened.
"She..she shouldn't have kissed you, from the start" hinata looked down.
"I didn't see that coming, you know!" Sasuke spat.
"And don't change the subject who is he?" Sasuke growled.
Hinata sighed.
"He...he was my ex suitor, b..but my father turned him down for reasons i don't know...i..i didn't love him, but he kept pursuing me.." hinata sighed.
Sasuke's eyes widened.
Though, it wasn't his right to feel that much jealousy, but he couldn't help the feeling.
"And you?" He asked gulping.
"What about me?" She asked confused.
"You seemed to enjoy him pursuing you..ne" sasuke spat.
"What are you talking about? Are you calling me an attention whore!" She yelled.
"I didn't say that!" Sasuke dodged quickly.
"Why do you care! Sasuke! Why? This marriage is forced...and..and at least...at least he knows i like Carmel and pecan!" Hinata spat.
"What the hell hinata? I took you to the date you always fantasized?" Sasuke snorted.
"Just to make this marriage looks fine! Just to reach your goal? Right, to be the Marshall's daughter and get your revenge! I am merely a tool ne!" Hinata started to sob.
"Can't you see how much i hate this! Pretending! Pretending that i don't see it in your eyes...that you are using me!" Hinata hiccuped.
Sasuke grinned his teeth.
She is such a dense girl.
Yes, sasuke at first wanted this because he was using her,  but after their first date, he felt something weird inside.
Something warm.
Like he wants to make her happy, and make this work.
She wasn't like all other girls, she was different.
Why is she so dense!
"Didn't know you are such a fool! Well, hinata, i lo...like you" sasuke finally blurted out.
Yes he did like her, love? Did he.
Somehow!
How can you tell you love someone?
Wanting to see them everyday? He did.
Wanting to make them happy?
He did.
Want to wake up everyday by their side, hear their voice?
Wants to hug, cuddle and kiss?
Make love and have children!
"I do.....but..seems...you..don't...understand...and now i get it...its useless...you said you knew me because i was like neji, but seemed your thoughts are disturbed..." sasuke said.
Hinata's eyes were widened and her mouth gaped.
"I guess i'll call off the wedding..." sasuke finally said.
He looked down and turned.
Sasuke walked away.
Hinata wanted to grab his hands to stop him, but...he whole body froze.
Hinata got inside, and the first thing she did was ran to the toilet and emptied her stomach.

Three days passed, her father told her that the uchiha called off the wedding.
For a reason that, he didn't know why.
Hinata didn't go to her job, she just stayed in bed.
Staring at the ceiling.
"Onee chan" hanabi went inside to see her sister in a sulking mood.
Hinata just turned.
"Turn off the lights hanabi, i want to sleep" she said.
"Three days you have been like that onee chan, whats wrong with you! Didn't you want this marriage off from the start?" Hanabi asked.
Hinata refrained from answering.
Yes she wanted it to be off, but why is she now feeling so depressed that it actually happened.
Did she love sasuke?
It can't be.
She can't!
"Ah...onee chan..." hanabi shook her.
Hinata didn't answer.
"Just for the record, i haven't seen you much happy since neji died except when sasuke was here" hanabi said.
Hinata's eyes widened.
"I'll go bake a cake" she said and left her room.

"I would like to be transferred Hiashi sama" sasuke said.
"Why? Sasuke! You are one good subordinate of mine, i can't have you transferred!" Hiashi said.
"Onigai, consider hiashi sama" sasuke said.
"Is it because the wedding? Sasuke!" Hiashi asked.
Sasuke tripped a little but gained his composure.
He refrained from answering.
Hiashi patted his shoulder.
"You know, sasuke uchiha, you remind me of neji, so stubborn and introvert...yet, so open and emotional" hiashi said.
Sasuke kept silent.
"I'll do as you wish, but...i want to tell you something" hiashi continued.
"No regrets..." hiashi smiled.
Sasuke listened.
He then blurted out.
"She doesn't love me" sasuke said.
Hiashi's eyes widened as he stopped from signing the papers.
He looked again.
"She doesn't love me, hyuga sama" sasuke continued with a pained sorrowful eyes and voice.
He had to say it, he must say it.
All those he loved left him.
All those whom he loved turned him down.
Why does it hurt again, like the first time.
Why was hinata so different.
"Let me tell you this..." hiashi smiled.
"I haven't seen my daughter that happy after neji died, except when you are here" hiashi said.
Sasuke's eyes furrowed, then widened.
"I'll delay the signing...think about it" hiashi said.
Sasuke bowed then he was dismissed.

"Her name is Hyuga hinata...and we can lure into them..through her" konan said.
"Its nagato's deal to do it..." a pale man said.
"Kisame sama, we need the right time to attack...and avenge our pride" nagato said.
"Just patience nagato...patience is the key" he smirked.

"Hinata daughter...you still up there?" Hiashi said as he knocked on the door.
Hinata was still lying on bed.
He remembered her situation when neji died.
Hiashi patted and caressed her long beautiful hair.
She reminded him of her deceased mother.
Beautiful and gentle.
"Lets eat dinner, i missed your cooking" he said.
"Hai oto san" she nodded.
"Do you know, uchiha sasuke asked for a transfer...and tomorrow is his departure...ah..i'll miss the guy" hiashi said as he saw hinata's eyes widened and her mouth gaped.
He smirked inwardly then said.
"Come lets eat, i am starving." He said and then he went down.

Hinata cooked and she sat across her father, staring at the food.
Is it true, sasuke is leaving.
He can't.
Shall she stay like this? Will she stay and not do anything? Like a coward? Or shall she fight like neji told her?
Told her to fight for what she wants and believe!
Hinata put down the fork.
"Where are you going...onee chaaaan" hanabi yelled as hinata opened the door and started running.
It was raining profoundly.
Hiashi smirked.
"Leave her to be"

Sasuke got up from his couch lazily.
It was raining and his heart felt the same.
He doesn't need any sakura's voice or naruto's whines to make him feel better.
He wants hinata.
But she won't come, will she?
The door knocked again and again.
Sasuke grunted.
He is already coming don't naruto already know his state.
He opened the door and furrowed his eyes brows growling.
"LISTEN NARUTO IF YO..." sasuke froze as he saw her.
Its her.
Hinata, drenched completely.
Is it true? She is here.
"Hina...mpfhhh"
Suddenly, he couldn't continue as his lips were sealed when she crushed hers onto his.
Cupping his cheeks and kissing him.
He placed his hands at the back of her skull and pushed her into deep kiss.
He can't believe she came for him.
Sasuke pulled away from the kiss, and suddenly, he dug his head into his shoulder and started sobbing.
Hinata caressed his back and hair.
"Tadaima...sasuke kun..." she smiled.
Sasuke kissed her neck and her cheeks.
Then suddenly, he held her up bridal style.
Sasuke entered the house and knocked the door harshly.
Tonight she'll be his.
