Seasons Come and Go

Part One: It was a Lie

Chapter One

Never did she ask for anything from him but one thing. To keep his promiscuous activities in the dark, where it should remain. From the beginning she knew he wasn't faithful but that didn't bother her. What did bother her was him throwing what she'd asked in her face. At first it was perfect. Their marriage was seen as the dream that everyone craved for. Within the first six months of their life as husband and wife Hinata became pregnant with their son. After that life went on, he would show up events with her portraying to ever devoted husband. It carried on like that for a while until it didn't.

There was a time she caught wind of gossip about him being unfaithful, Hinata was quick to put that to rest. She'd confronted him, told him it was unacceptable that he had to put the rumors to rest by doing whatever it took. There was no room for dishonor in the eyes of both the Hyuuga and Uchiha household. It would be considered her fault. After that he swore up and down he wouldn't ever do it to her again, but it was a lie.

Hinabi had pulled Hinata aside at the Hyuuga conference to show her explicit imagery that was found on a Sakura Haruno's instagram account. It was quickly taken down by Hinabi as she was head of Hyuuga Intelligence. Hacking was easy for the young heiress. Because of the news the Uchiha representative had to leave early, that being Hinata as she wasn't a Hyuuga anymore by law.

After a fifteen hour flight from America back to Japan Hinata was exhausted but knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. She'd sworn that after the last time if he did this to her again she would leave him. Before she'd married him she was a shy, gentle, and quite naive young girl but after marrying the Uchiha she quickly got her wits together and grew up. Their marriage was a contract between the Hyuuga and Uchiha, bringing their powerful companies together to build a stronger empire. Once they'd produced an heir the contract was fulfilled. It never did say they were required to stay married to one another. She knew there would be consequences to ending their marriage but she saw little choice unless her husband changed his ways for the good.

Soon she arrived to the lavish manner her and Sasuke were gifted by the Uchiha family. With her luggage being towed behind her she found herself in the quiet foyer. Hikaru wouldn't be home until the evening as he was at his playgroup to keep him out of his Father's hair while she was away. That was just as well since their would be an inevitable fight between the spouses.

With a sigh Hinata wheeled her suitcase up to the second floor where the Master bedroom was. Leaving it next to the closet she went into the large space and gathered some more relaxed clothing since she didn't have to deal with being in any business meetings. Before confronting her husband, whom was in his study, she was going to take a shower to wash away the fatigue of travel and stress.

Half an hour later she was out of the shower and dressed in a more relaxed but still quite conservative outfit. One befitting her stature. With the study being on the first floor she decided to take her time walking down to confront her wayward husband. There was no use hurrying since she knew her husband was more than likely not going to leave his study any time soon. When he wasn't at his office at Uchiha Inc. he was locked away in his study doing who knew what.

Not caring to knock she walked right in and sat across the desk, crossing her legs she lazily glanced at him knowing he very well was aware of her presence. The dark haired man didn't acknowledge her for another seven minutes. When he did look up she was met with annoyed obsidian irises. That didn't phase Hinata like it used to when they'd first married. After a year she'd gotten used to that cold stare.

"You lied," she spoke quietly yet sharply. All she received was a raised brow and a grunt of dismissal. Infuriated that he'd responded as such she stood up and slammed her hands down on the desk causing him to look back up at her in surprise, brows raised. It was the first time he'd looked at her in such a way.

"I will not be dismissed nor treated with such disdain from this point on. You have two options. One: You will fire your Haruno whore and make weekly appearances with myself and our son to show that you are indeed a member of this family. It will be like last time, except this time it will be legitimate. There will be no more deceit in this marriage. If you won't accept that then the option two is to say goodbye to our marriage."

With nothing but an amused stare from her husband she stands back up and turns to leave. As she walks towards the door she hears a chuckle from her husband causing her to stop and turn.

"You think I'm joking?" At his expression she seethes. "All this time I have been the dutiful devoted wife. I've fulfilled my part and more of the contract. You've barely done anything at all. It's been me, not you. I'm tired of it. Either change your ways or I am taking Hikaru and leaving."

With that said Sasuke leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest with a brow raised. "If you try to take my son you'll be thrown in jail for child abduction." After a bit of quiet he continued, "Don't be foolish. We both know you aren't going to leave. You could have last time but instead you stayed."

"I'll only stay if you do what I said."

With a snort Sasuke shook his head, "No. You're overreacting."

"It's over."

With that said Hinata walked out of the room and headed back up to the bedroom where she began to pack her belongings that were essential into a bag. Before she could get much packing done Sasuke entered the room. Ignoring him she continued to pack until the bag was full. Bag in hand she turned only to find her pathway out of the closet blocked by the taller figure of her husband whom was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and a dark expression on his face.

Nothing was said between the two as they stared right at each other. Closing the space between them Hinata walked right up to him expecting him to step aside. When he refused to move she tilted her head back to look up at him, her lilac eyes sharp with a fury she'd held back their whole marriage.

"You will move or I'll be forced to knock you down," she threatened in a quiet yet sharp tone.

"Don't be an idiot," was all Sasuke said in his condescending tone.

That was all Hinata needed to hear. Dropping her bag she moved to swing her knee up to meet her husband in his favorite body part, but he knew she'd try it and stopped her easily enough. Frustrated she reached up and struck him across the face only to have her wrist pinned in his tight grasp. With her free hand she went to strike him yet again but he caught her before she could causing both wrists to be pinned. Using his weight he pressed her back against the wall, pressing his body against hers.

"Give up Hinata. You aren't leaving." His voice was filled with authority which riled up the small woman even more.

Relaxing beneath his weight she let out a soft sigh giving the facade of defeat to her husband. Thinking she'd given up Sasuke lifts off her, letting go of her wrists. Quickly Hinata slides from the wall and darts around him, grabbing her bag she runs out of the closet with a cursing Sasuke following quickly behind.

Before Hinata can make it past the bed the Uchiha is upon her faster than lightning, using his heavier weight and bigger frame to pin her down onto the bed. Screaming in frustration she fights beneath him squirming and wriggling around like a fish out of water trying to inch her way out from beneath him.

"Sasuke! Let me go!" Her voice filled with tension rang through the room.

"You are not leaving, Hina. I won't let you," his voice is gruff in her ear.

Crying out in frustration Hinata looks around for something on the bed she can use to help her get out of the situation she's in. Seeing her hair brush she grabs it and flings her arm back causing the brush to slam against Sasuke's forehead. A loud yell follows with silence after and a heavy weight laying on top of Hinata. For a minute she starts to panic. Did she kill him? Then she feels the warm breaths against her neck. Sighing in relief she crawls out from beneath him up onto the bed. Sitting up she looks over to see him fall to the floor with a thud and a groan. Yet he remained unconscious.

Grabbing her bag Hinata hurries to Hikaru's room where she packs as much clothing as she can in another bag along with his favorite teddy bear. Bags in hand she quickly leaves the manner and gets into her car. Knowing she had only a while until Sasuke would more than likely wake up she revved the engine and drove off to pick her child up from his play group. Since it was the afternoon Hikaru was still asleep so she quietly and gently transferred the sleeping toddler into his car seat before taking off to Ino and Naruto's. They would be able to help her.
