It was a really bad day, at least by seven- year old standards. He was forced to wake up early this morning, scrubbed to perfection in freezing cold water by his mother, then dragged to one of her old friend's house where he was lost for currently the third time. Yes. It was a very bad day indeed. He was just about to give up looking for any means of escaping this mansion of horrors when suddenly he could hear the faintest sound of a melody drifting past him. Out of curiosity and because he had pretty much nowhere else to go, he decided to follow it. He walked through twisting and turning passageways not really caring where it would lead him or how he would get back afterwards, his mother would have to look for him herself—he gave a self- satisfied grin at that. When he thought it would never end and was about to turn around, he caught a flicker of light, like when a person opens and then closes a door. He cautiously approached a huge oak door, not wanting to repeat the episode when he barged in on some of the old men here while they were drinking. He got a serious tongue- lashing from his mother because of that. He shuddered at the thought. The little boy opened the door as quietly as he could; it wasn't so difficult considering the music was currently at full volume. And played with such wild emotion too the seven- year old thought to himself for he also took piano— another thing that his mother forced him to do all because of—

"You know it's r-rude to spy right?" A gentle voice made him jump. He was about to inch away from the open door and slink back to the dark hallway but before he could, a girl about his age but a tad shorter opened one of the huge doors and stuck slowly crept out, as if unsure if it was safe to speak to him. As she came out he could only stand with his mouth agape. She had a unique beauty, with the palest peach skin and even paler lavender eyes. There was nothing especially breath- taking about each feature, but when put all together, they just formed a perfect her. "D-do you want to come in? I-it's warmer in here than in the hall." She stammered in a way that could only be described as one word: cute.

He warily stepped into the well- lit room and took his eyes off her for the first time since he saw her. The room was simply decorated, with a note stand and a stool in front of it. There was a small grand piano, a stool for that too, and a chandelier that lit up the whole room. It had soundproof walls which were perfect for practice and to top it all off there was that girl. The prettiest girl he had seen in his whole life, and that's saying a lot considering the girls that his bro—

He was cut- off in his thoughts again as she cleared her throat and smoothed down her knee- high skirt. Simple and cute was all he could think of as he studied her slightly- shorter than shoulder length silky black hair tied into a neat ponytail and her practical attire, a plain blouse and a printed skirt, down to her shoes, white doll shoes. But what caught his eye was the violin she held in her hand, how that wonderful melody came from such a little girl. She looked down blushing slightly and he waited for about an eternity before she got the nerve and looked up. Her eyes widened a bit but she continued on anyway. "M- My name is Hyuuga Hi- hinata. N- nice to meet you." She said shyly, formally, almost routinely as if she had to do this everyday, but looking him in the eye with a steady determination. She bowed her head slightly, acknowledging him to introduce himself as well. "Uchiha Sasuke," He said, extending his hand. "Pleasure is mine." He told her with equal formality, he could play her game; it was just a matter of time.



She was kind of shocked to find out her audience was just a boy, and even more surprised to find out that he wasn't a Hyuuga. She had simply expected him to be one of the lower branches, but this boy had raven black hair and eyes the color of night sky that you could fall into. When he introduced himself, her first thought was: Uchiha, the old friend of my father, but what is her son doing here, unless the union—

The raven Uchiha extended his hand and though she was nervous she wasn't about to shame her entire family by ignoring nearly seven years of good breeding now. Slowly she reached for his hand and shook it. "You play the violin?" He asked her, which almost took her by surprised, she wasn't used to seeing such interesting boys, they were usually submissive lower house boys, except her cousin Ne—

"Hey, I just asked you a question. Don't you know it's rude to ignore someone?" He demanded, must be a high rank himself, she mused to herself.



She jumped a bit then blushed when he snapped her out of his thoughts. Sasuke gave a smirk at that. "Y-yes," She managed to stutter. "Then come on." He said walking in the direction of the piano and the violin stand next to it without waiting for a reply. He methodically, almost gently pulled the piano stool and sat down and then lifted the lid to reveal ivory keys as white as the Hyuuga girl's skin. She was dumbstruck at his rash manner but followed suit seeing his purpose. "And I see you play the piano." She told him as she held up her violin and got ready to play. "How about this one?" Sasuke said as he pointed to a simple ballad, "I'll accompany." He volunteered. "S-sure," She said, as he began the intro, the notes obeyed his fingers as they danced a playful tune. She entered after three measures and the merry music began neither ever playing like this before. So light, so airy, not for perfection, just pure fun. By the time they reached the soaring prelude they were both exhausted. The song ends, but not the atmosphere of openness and happiness that floats around the room.

They had nothing much to do, so they started talking. It was nothing serious, both actually felt their own age instead of pretending they were stiff puppets that their parents controlled. They laughed and played, they were children having fun, and there was a bond formed, stronger than that, it was a promise.

"Sasuke- chan, where are you?" A voice called from the other end of the hall, and it wasn't very pleased. "Itachi- chan has just finished his meeting with Hyuuga- san, it's time to go home." Sasuke turned to Hinata one more time. Hinata's face fell at the fact that he was leaving she would have to play by herself again. "Don't worry Hinata- chan," He smiled, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I'll come back next time, okay?" He said. Hinata's face lit up at that. "Of course Sasuke- kun! We'll play music again right?" She smiled, making him blush. "Definitely," He turned around in front of the door just in time to meet her soft hug. "I'll see you Sasuke- kun." She told him when they let go of the hug. "Okay, bye Hinata- chan!" He said as he waved goodbye, walking silently in the carpeted hall. The last thing he saw of her was her warm smile and her violin, still in her hand, waving to him.



Sasuke jumped up in his bed covered in sweat. He'd been having the same dream for two weeks now, but this was the clearest he'd seen it. The image of Hinata flashed in his mind again as he went back to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a very interesting first day of school was the last thought of the eighteen- year old as he drifted to sleep.
