An engaged girl, that was what she was now. She had no real say in the arrangement, due to her father's instance and desires for the engagement to take place. She was engaged to the Uchiha Itachi, who was considered a genius of his own status. They were to have their first formal meeting take place today over the final agreememts of the engagement.
This arrangement could bring together the two once opposite ended clans into one new clan. However such an event could not only bring a certain amount of peace it could also bring all the other clans against the two. Which would only make the engagement backfire against the two great clans.
The two men had smiliar physical features. Both had black hair color and black eyes. Both were lean and quite tall. Yet the younger of the two held a much more gentler air about him than the older one, that it made the younger man even more handsome and stronger out of the two. He did not look younger than twenty but rather much older and wiser than what was expected of his age. He walked with amazing grace that would be impossible to acheive without it being naturely born into him. It was by selectional breeding that made him so handsome and elegant. And the process was being used again to "ensure" that their children were bred with superior genes. Of course the whole process was bogus, but that never stopped them from forcing their children to it.
"Do you see anything you like?" he asked the young girl standing next to him with a certain undertone of exhaustion from his persistance in trying to please her.
"Itachisan there is no need for you to buy anything for me. You have already done so much for me." answered Hinata with a sincere smile that most found utterly and undeniably adorable. Itachi was not convinced and so he led the young girl down the market clearly showing the villagers of their close relationship and the man's claim to the young girl much to the surprise of the civillians and ninjas alike. For Itachi was not the type to be interested in people especially those who were women much less a young girl who was practically a princess in the town. She was the heiress of the noble and wealthy Hyuuga clan, who were also opposite of the Uchiha clan bringing much confusion to the people.
In Itachi and Hinata's walk they were stopped by Shisui the best friend of Itachi. Shisui was not suprised by their outing but rather curious of how their time together was doing so he asked, "Hinata, how is Itachi treating you?"
"Itachisan has been treating me very kindly" Hinata answered to the amusment of the man for it was the opposite of the rumors surrounding Itachi. "May I ask what is amusing you Uchihasan?"
"Oh, it's nothing merely for the fact that had my father not died early you and I would have been the ones to be wed," answered Shisui much to the suprise of Hinata and Itachi.
"And pray why are you mentioning such details, Shisui?" asked Itachi.
"Just thought that I had I known of Hinata's beauty, kindness, and intelligence before I gave my spot as head of clan I most likely would have not given the title up." Declared Shisui bringing suprise to the masses and a rising pink blush to the cheeks of Hinata. Shisui came down to Hinata's ear and whispered, "So if ever Hinata you feel your heart moving in my direction all you need is to say so and I shall move to make it possible." In response Hinata lightly pushed Shisui away, turned away with her hand covering her cheeks, and muttered,
"Please don't say things you do not mean or plan to follow, Shisuisan." Shisui merely came even closer to Hinata and whispered,
"And how do you know I'm not serious cause I know I am. I have never felt this way for anyone before you and I don't plan on losing you to anyone not even to Itachi that is unless you fall in love with someone else but I doubt that will happen cause I am going to make sure that you fall in love with me. So don't push me away cause that's going to only make me want you even more and it'll definetly hurt my feelings." At this declaration Hinata could not help but widen her eyes and look back at Itachi for some sort of reaction. Seeing nothing but him fingering his kunias, Hinata stepped away from Shisui and grabbed Itachi's hand whispering,
"Please can we go back home?" He gently smiled knowing full well Hinata was trying to avoid a conflict between his best friend and himself. Her soft hands had brought calm to his abrupt jealous fire and he nodded his consent to bring her back to the Hyuuga compound. Both, Itachi and Hinata gave their goodbyes and calmly walked away from the scene that would cause a village once united into two.
