Hi.

I'm back after a really freakin glong time. So let's get to this.

I hope you like it.

X.x.X

She without a doubt had the worst luck ever.

Sinking deep into the seat of her car, Hinata sighed. She wanted to bang her head against her steering wheel repeatedly, not that it would change anything about her situation but it would make her feel better. There was a tapping against her window, knowing that she couldn't hide any long, Hinata took a deep breath, unbuckled her seatbelt and got out her car.

"I'm so sorry very sorry." she apologised immediately looking up to the person. "I didn't see him an-"

Hinata took a step back, her body coming against the side of her car while she tried not to faint as she stared at the man before her. Uchiha Sasuke.

She had only ever seen him on the television or from the magazines that she happened to see him grace the covers of, but she couldn't mistake the face of the man currently glaring at her a few centimeters away from her own face.

Everyone knew who Uchiha Sasuke was, who the Uchihas were. Their company Sharingan Corporation was one of the top grossing companies in all the world. The company did literally everything from selling electronics, developing software, creating clothes, construction, funding hospitals- you name it, they did it. And Uchiha Sasuke was the current President ruling over it all, earning him the number one spot of richest and youngest men in Japan.

He was a basically a celebrity. A king. A god.

And she had just hit his car.

Well…technically it was he who had hit her after she had to swerve to avoid crashing into a car who had suddenly pulled out of a corner road out of nowhere and sped off but she was equally to blame. She had been occupied with a phone call concerning a speech that she was to present at a conference this coming Friday, that her attention had been divided.

In fact, Hinata wished that she did not have to do this speech at all. She hated public speaking, what she hated even more were the audience she had to present it to: owners of renowned companies and members of board committees. She was sure they wouldn't want to hear anything for an ex-heiress who ran away from that life, to come speak to them about business related matters.

Since the moment Hinata was told she would be giving the speech, she hoped that she would somehow come down with a terrible cold, that left her bedridden. If only she was that lucky.

Unfortunately she wasn't lucky in this moment either.

"Are you blind?" Sasuke snappy question, startled Hinata back into the present.

Her eyes focused on him now, she noticed how even frowning, Sasuke was still handsome with his dark spiky hair, his black eyes on his way too perfect chiseled face, broad shoulders supported nicely by his six foot-something frame standing menacingly before her. Hinata felt a blush creep up on her own face as she shamelessly checked him out, thankful for her sunglasses because she was sure, he wouldn't have liked that.

"N-No." she stammered. She hated when she stuttered.

The glare he gave her didn't lessen in its intensity and Hinata wanted to squirm under his gaze. She watched as he raked a hand through his hair, making his spiky hair messier than it was.

"Incompetent." He muttered under his breath.

Hinata tried not to flinch at his insult, but his harsh judgement of her caused unwanted memories to resurface. Which Hinata did not like, she had worked very hard to not let persons views of her get to her anymore, she already had a lifetime of it.

He ran his hand through his hair again. "Did you call your insurance?"

Hinata frowned, did he really think, she was inept? Of course she had called her insurance-and the school to let them know she was going to be late. He was clearly annoyed with her lack of answer, so she nodded her head, content with that Sasuke stalked back over to his car, leaning against it with his eyes closed, a deep scowl still on his face as they could do nothing more than wait for the respectful authorities to come.

Hinata hoped it would be soon, because she did not want to spend anymore time in Uchiha Sasuke's presence than she had to.

Sasuke was pissed off. He had left home extra early this morning to avoid the onslaught of morning traffic but apparently the day was out to get him. Because instead of sailing down the highway to get to work, he was stuck having to deal with a woman and reporting why their cars were right now, melded together.

Ok, he might be exaggerating a bit too much. The front bumper of his car barely nipped at the back of hers when she had entered his lane and the dent wasn't in-your-face noticeable. A stab of consciousness hit him and Sasuke realised that he probably shouldn't have snapped at her. It wasn't her fault that idiots were allowed to drive on the road.

"Ok, you're both free to go. Have a safe trip and enjoy the rest of your day, Mr. Uchiha and Miss. Hyuga." The officer in charge said.

Hyuga?

Sasuke eyes locked onto her instantly studying her mostly her eyes but he couldn't see them since she was wearing sunglasses. Forgetting her eyes, he took in the rest of her. He supposed she was pleasant to look at, even without her eyes the rest of her facial features were appealing. Her hair was an unusual shade of black sort of inky blue maybe indigo? That fell down her back like a waterfall with bangs and strands to frame her face. Her way of dress was modest but still shaped her body nicely showing off her curvy assets. She was short and entire foot under him, even with her heels on.

"So you're a Hyuga?" he asked her.

Her chin jutted out at his question. "Yes, I am."

Hn no stutter. But then all Hyugas' were prideful about their name, just like any Uchiha or any person whose name was worth billions. He smirked. She shifted nervously as if uncomfortable by his starring but he did not care.

"I'm sorry...again for the trouble Uchiha-san but I really must be going." She apologised once more, giving him a slight bow of her head, before turning on her heels to go back to her car.

Sasuke watched her in silence as she got in her car and drove away. Getting into his own car, Sasuke checked the time, nine fifteen, he was late. Scowling he made a call to his secretary who picked up at first ring.

"Ami, call the mechanic, and email me the Minutes for each of my meetings for the day. I also want Akatsuki file on my next when I come back from the three o'clock. I think pairing it with Taka could be very beneficial, send it to Jugo, Karin and Suigetsu also."

"Yes sir."

"Good, I'll be there in ten minutes." Hanging up, Sasuke sped down the highway, his thoughts going back to the unknown Hyuga woman.

Hyuga huh, Sasuke wouldn't have guessed that she was from such a family like his. She didn't look the part, her clothes and care were of good brands but anyone with a good paying job could afford such things. She didn't stand out and Hyugas' were known to be flashy and full of themselves with sticks so far up their asses that you would need to do surgery to get them out.

Making a turn, Sasuke drove into his parking lot and into his space, checking the time, he had a minute to spare from the time he had given Ami. Walking into the building, Sasuke headed straight for his private elevator, pressing the up button. He could afford to be intercepted by any of his employees, he had a meeting for ten with an old business partner who was coming by to discuss a possible product launch,.

The elevator door open only for Sasuke to be trapped by his secretary. "Sir, Mr. Hatako has just entered the building." she reported.

"Are the Minutes ready?"

"Yes sir."

Giving her a curt nod, "Alright, when he gets here, notify me." Sasuke said as he disappeared into his office.

"Remember your reports on Human Resource Management and Personnel Management are due Friday at final bell. Five marks will be deducted for every day it is late." Hinata reminded her students just in time as the bell rang for lunch.

Of course there were groans and moans as the students packed away and cleared out of the classroom. Once emptied Hinata erased her board and tidied her desk before falling into her seat with her head resting on her hands and sighed. Finally she had a moment to enjoy the quiet. Too bad she had three more hours to go. Hinata could not wait for this day to be over, she wanted to go home, chalk this morning up to a bad experience-one she hoped never happened again-and move on.

There was a knock on her door and Hinata barely lifted her head to see who it was, sitting up instantly upon seeing her workmate Kaede.

"You look tired." She stated as she came to sit on the edge of Hinata's desk.

Hinata sighed, she was.

As if reading her thoughts, "Just one more day and it will be over." A pause. "Are you all set?"

"Yes, I'm all ready."

As much as she didn't want to do it, Hinata's speech was finished and proofread by her friend Ino. She was also very proud of her speech, it was something that no one had ever talked about before and whether or not they approved of it was entirely up to them. Hinata was going to tough it out, do her job and then enjoy her weekend, stress free.

Kaede smiled at her, then hopped off the table, heading for the door. "Good, now come let's go and have some lunch."

Deciding that getting some lunch was a good idea, her tummy finally catching on that it was lunch time, she made her way out of the classroom with her friend towards the staffroom.

She had just put her food into the microwave when Kaede's high-pitched squeal distracted her.

"Oh my gosh, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Hinata heart jumped, turning her head slightly to see. He was on the television, he looked different, mostly because instead of glaring and frowning at her, he was smirking. He was a lot more handsome when he smirked but he was a rude and scary man. Looking at her colleague's face that held complete adoration for the Uchiha, Hinata wouldn't ruined her image of him-then she might have to tell the tale of why she had that opinion and there was no way she was going to tell her that they crashed into each other cars this morning.

The sound of the microwave cut off her musing, carefully Hinata extracted her steaming food then traced her steps back to her desk.

"Don't you think he is so hot?" Kaede asked sitting down next to her.

The forkful of food that was on her way to her mouth fell back into her container as Hinata blushed, remembering how she checked him out this morning. Glancing at her friend through her lashes, she noticed the day dreamed look on her face.

"I never really noticed."She lied.

Kaede looked at her shocked. "Are you blind?"

Hinata frowned, those were his first exact words to her. And no she was not blind, even if her pale white eyes would like to say otherwise.

"You know I don't pay attention to this stuff."

Kaede shook her head, "I don't get you Hinata, you were once apart of that life and you are a business teacher for crying out loud, you should know even more about him than I do."

But she didn't, not anymore. She knew what she needed to know and that was all. Hinata shrugged her shoulders.

"You are so weird Hinata."

Leaving her comment in the air, Hinata finally took a bite of her food, hoping that Kaede would drop the topic. She was determined to ignore all thoughts and things pertaining to Uchiha Sasuke-forever.

X.x.X

By the end of the day, Sasuke felt immensely better considering how his day had started. He had already put the incident behind him, not one to dwell on irrelevant things, plus there were better things to occupy his mind with. Besides he knew that it was impossible for him to ever see the woman again, so there was no need to keep any sort of information about her in his mind.

The lobby was completely empty when Sasuke finally decided it was time to go. He had stayed until nightfall, going over details to a possible contract that he was hoping to close before or by the end of the month with Shikaku Group of Industries. It was going smoothly, it seemed that Gaara was just as eager as he was to get the boring stuff over with so that they could start the actual production.

But that was to be expected, they both had the most powerful and advanced technology that the world has ever seen, it would be a shame for them not to team up. Blending the two: Susanoo and the unique "Sand Manipulation" to create a 3D holographic software that will manifest instantaneously whatever the user wanted. It was to be produced on a grand top scale for companies and world agencies and then on a minor scale for average people. Sasuke couldn't wait.

Raising a hand to his mouth, Sasuke yawned, he was quite happy with the progressed they had made so far. Nodding his head to the night shift guard Tahashi as he passed by, Sasuke made his way on out of the building.

The ride to his apartment was smooth and quiet, it was only when he reached his door that Sasuke realised he should of picked up something to eat on the way. Not bothering to worry with it, he unlocked his door and went inside. Leaving the lights off, Sasuke threw his jacket on the couch and slouched down right next to it. Leaning his head back, Sasuke closed his eyes, a call came through to his phone, and searching his pocket he answered it.

He didn't bother to check the number, only four people would ever dare call him at this time, three because they were family and the other he just tolerated and it wasn't him because Sasuke had a special ringtone just for Naruto. So that left...

"Hey Itachi."

"Hello brother. I have a favour to ask."

He sat up straighter then, Itachi never asked for favours. He always chose to handle things on his own, never leaving them to someone else if he could help it, so whatever it was had to be really important.

"What is it?"

"Kasumi is past her due date, the doctors believe that the baby may come any day however, so I am going to take the rest of the week off. I need you to attend a conference Friday, in my place."

"You wouldn't have called me if you thought I'd say no Itachi." Sasuke remarked dryly.

Itachi chuckled. "Thank you Sasuke. I'll send you the information as soon as I can."

"Hn."

The call disconnected and Sasuke left with his thoughts wondered, if the rest of his week was going to get any more unpredictable.
