Chapter One: Half Happiness
"Hyuga, you have been summoned before us for an important announcement. You have been working on protecting Sabaku No Gaara for a year, and it will continue, so that is why we will have to go an extra mile." The Head Council addressed. I have never really seen them, but I've always heard them. They didn't really have a face. My whole time here, I've only seen darkness when I have to face them to complete tasks. It doesn't bother me now as much as it did then.
"Yes, sir. What is it that I am assigned to do?" I asked as I tried to steady the tone of my voice. Silence filled the air for a moment before they spoke once again. "You are to marry Sabaku No Gaara! It has been made final and arrangements have been made for the ceremony today. Bring him into our world at once! Dismissed!" I turned and tried not to look so worried and scared, but I'm pretty sure everybody there knew.
Real World
As the bell rang for 3rd period to begin, I searched the hallways for Sabaku. Then, finally spotting the red head, I hesitantly approached him.
"Uh, Sabaku?" I said as I did my best not to avoid his gaze when his eyes pierced through mine. "What is it this time? Who's trying to kill me now?" He asked with an annoyed look on his face as we started walking together down the hall. "Oh, don't worry; this'll slowly kill us both…" I said lowly, but I know he caught it. "How so?" He asked, turning his head slightly towards me. "We, uh, we, um, uh…"
"Spit it out, Hinata! We don't have all day!" He said as he placed his hands on my shoulders, and stared at me. I looked up into his eyes, and I swear, I could get lost into his blue-green eyes all day if I could. I snapped back to reality as he shook me. "We have to get married!" I said quickly as I shut my eyes closed and looked down. I felt him step away. "We have to what?!" He yelled back, but much louder causing everybody to stop their walking and stare at us. Once I noticed people snickering at us, I felt my face get hot. Fact: I was really embarrassed! I quickly pulled him into our 3rd period math class and looked at him.
"It's the only way for our enemy to leave you alone. It was ordered by the Heads, not me." I smiled at the nickname I gave my Council. Then he snapped his fingers in my face, causing me to flinch and look at him. "What do I get in return for doing this?" He asked. "Um, a wife? And you're able to make the wife do anything. And, let's not forget to mention your life!" I said as quickly as possible, hoping he wouldn't hear most of what I said… But sadly, for me, he was used to hearing me talk very fast so he became accustomed to it… Damn. I watched as his eyes widened. "Wait. What?" I sighed in disappointment. "In the Rules of a Wife, it is said that the wife must do what the husband says to do. Yes, including pleasures…" I told him in shame. I stayed looking at him with an embarrassed look on my face. I mean, c'mon. Who wouldn't be embarrassed after saying something like that? Slowly, I saw an evil smile crawl on his face. 'Oh, no…' I thought. "I see… So are we married now?" He asked. I shook my head. "Nope. In this class we'll have to cross over so we can get it over with. That oka-"
"Wait. How're we gonna do that? Have you forgotten that we're in math?!" He said giving me a you're-stupid-and-should-be-glad-I'm-even-putting-up-with-you look, I sighed and poked his forehead. "In our minds. How else do you think I escape here sometimes without leaving? Duh!" I told him. I turned to go sit in a desk. I heard him sigh, and sit next to me. "Okay. How're we getting there? Do you have to do a chant or possibly get your buddies together and make a circle and mix a potion?" He asked sarcastically. "Wow. You're still clueless. It's pretty sad that you mistake me for a witch. Nice." I responded back with a smirk. He then glared at me then crossed his arms. I won! "Alright. Our bodies have to be in contact," I started. I looked at him and he gave me a weird look, "so… just put your foot over mine and close your eyes." He obediently closed his eyes. I blushed as I admired his facial features. His skin was so flawless, not even a small blemish or anything. His long eyelashes made you wonder if they were real or not, and his lips were a perfect size; not too thin and not too big. If there were one thing I could call him, it would be beautiful, but, of course, I would never admit this out loud… I followed his lead and closed my eyes. I mumbled words out quietly, making sure he didn't hear so he wouldn't have been right with his earlier accusation.
