The only thing that disturbed her peace was the shouting voice of her father.
It was the day after her 17th birthday and people in her family branch and main,kept hounding her on her future, marriage and everything else.
Hinata dreaded talking it about with anyone, let alone her family.
She soon decided that her tranquil evening was about to be interrupted by her father at any moment because his irritated voice was getting closer.
"HINATA!" Hiashi rounded a corner outside the main house to find his daughter ignoring him.
He walked up until he was directly infront of her, with his hands on his hips and a pout on his face he confonted her.
"Didn't you hear me callling you?!"
Hinata looked up she could tell he was was best not to toy with Hiashi Hyuuga when he was angry. She had to get out of this situation as soon a possible.
"Forgive me father," she spoke innocently "I didn't hear you, please don't be angry."
Hinata widened her eyes to look as young as she possibly could. This trick always used to work when she was younger ,but the older she got the less effective it seemed to be.
Hiashi was not swayed he was still angry but wasn't as irritated as before.
His pale white eyes pierced through her lanvender ones.
This was his own trick to try to scare her into submission, if he looked at her like this he'd never have to punish her, because nothing was worth being scrutenized by thoes frightening white eyes.
But alas the older she got the less effective it seemed.
"There is somethig important that you need to know," Hiashi broke his angry gaze to smile at his daughter.
"Go inside and make yourself decent there is someone I want you to meet."
Hinata raised an eye brow, already she didn't like the way this conversation was going.
'He has someone for me to meet?'
Even though she didn't want to go inside she had was an order from her father,or not her father,"The head of the clan".
Hinata rose up at a slow pace, and her and her father walked back to main house.
In her room Hinata found a silky blue kimono on her bed.
"Do they really expect me to wear this?" she said aloud. They knew she hated just
hate, detested,loathed, them. And yet they put it on her bed.
She eventually concluded that it was either her father or Neji who picked it out.
She couldn't blame them they were men after all and pampered men at that, who expected her to put it on and be happy about it.
Hinata rolled her eyes as she dressed herself and looked in the mirror.
She felt completly rediculous.
She pinpointed everything that was wrong with her body,he breasts looked huge the curve of her hips were too clearly made out and she was too skinny for her breats and hip size.
She hated her body and hated these specific features. Yet men found them inviting. Disgusted she turned away.
Why couldn't she have a normal body like Sakura or Ten Ten. Why did she have to be so...developed...
There was a knock at her door. "Who is it?"
"It's Menaka,Lady Hinata, I'm here to help you get ready for your guest."
"Come in," Hinata called sweelty masking all of her feelings for the sake the girl.
Menaka entered she was about 14 years old and was of course a Hyuuga. She had no byakugan her eyes were a faded green and she kept them down when she spoke to Hinata. "I was told by Lord Hiashi to..." Menaka trailed off, She glanced up at Hinata for a brief second and was lost.
"Menaka?" Hinata asked concerned ,"What's the matter?"
She glided over to the lost girl and place a hand on her shoulder.
"I-It's nothing my lady,y-you just look so gorgeous,I wasn't sure what I was looking at."
Hinata giggled and tossled Menaka's straight brown hair sending it into a frenzy. Another feature she hated about herself was that she was tall. Meneka my only be 14 but Hinata towered over her.
"It's true Hianta sama, you look really beautiful."
Hinata sat on her bed while Menaka brushed her hair,the indigo strands tamed by Menaka's strokes.
"Your guest will be pleased."
Hinata stiffened.
"So he is a man?" she questioned slyly forcing her eyes to look in Memeka's direction without turning her head.
"um..." Meneka stopped the stroking she'd obviously let something that wasn't soupposed to get out slip.
"Well....I really don't know...I havn't met him."
Hinata sighed at the pathetic attempt to cover the mistake.
"Don't worry Meneka,I won't say anyhting to anyone."
"Really?"
"I promise."
Meneka thought about it for a moment, Hinata was the kindest person to her in the main family.
She figured that Hinata deserved to know.A smile spread across her face as he remembered him.
"Well, he is very handsome,extremly handsome,beyond handsome!!!!" Menaka had to catch a breath before she could go was letting her excitment get the better of her.
"What's his name?" Hinata asked, her head was once againg being brushed,but at a much rougher pace.
"I don't know, I wasn't allowed to talk to him, I only saw him for a brief moment when I gave him water."
"hm, I wonder what he wants from me?" Hinata already had an idea.
"I heard him and Hiashi-sama talking about you."
"What did they say?"
"Well Hiashi-sama was talking about you and the future of the Hyuuga clan, and that you couldn't possibly do it alone."
Hinata was getting angry, Hiashi was no longer disappointed in her, but he hadn't gained any faith in her at all.
He was using this man for the better of the clan and spared her no thought in in it at all.
"He wants to marry me" Hinata stated sadly it was neither a question or an answer.
Menaka slowed her brushing.
"Yes,I think thats what he wants. I'm sorry Lady Hinata I know how you must feel"
Hinata smiled weakly at the sympathy she recived. Fighting back tears she turned herself around to face Menaka.
"I hate my life," she said bluntly, Menaka returned her weak smile.
"Me too."
"Hinata are you decent, It's time to come out", both girls were startled at the sound of Hiashi at the door. He never came to Hinata's room.
"Yes father I'm comming out now."
Hinata rose up and took in a deep walked over to the door and paused to collect herself.
"Lady Hinata are you-"
"I'll be fine Menaka I'm only meeting him it doesn't mean anything."
It acturally ment a whole lot, for most of her life Hinata had planned on marrying one man and now she may be forced to marry another. Her heart pounded in her chest as she walked with her father to meet this mystery man. She side glanced at Hiashi and when she saw his face she wanted to protest...but she knew she couldn't, this was not the time or place to start an argument.
When the two entered the living room there were already others there. Hanabi was standing by a chair in a white silk kimono her face wasn't pleseant at all she also hated kimono's more so than Hinata.
Neji stood beside her in the branch uniform looking pissed off for no reason,as usual.
Others were around the room, Hyuuga elders and people of the sort,but there was one man that was different.
He had an awe struck look on his face and when Hinata looked into his black eyes she saw that he was staring at her.
This man seemed familiar to her, she'd known him before.
He walked closer to her until they were face to face. His awe struck face twisted into a smile.
He really was handsome like Menaka had not compared to the man she truly loved.
"Hello Hinata-chan" His voice was deep and velvety and it would make any woman melt.
He took hold of one of her small hands and kissed it tenderly.
She noticed a small crest on the upper left corner of his shirt.
A small white and red fan. This immedialty jogged her memory.
She snatched her hand away from him and gasped.
"SASUKE UCHIHA?!?!?!?!?!"
