"What is that?"
"It's hot chocolate."
The Uchiha stirred the steaming concoction with a spoon. "I don't want it."
Piercing, yet feminine, eyes captured his in a steely glare. "Stop whining. Drink it."
Sasuke held the stare for a few long moments before eventually glowering at the table between them. He'd never even heard of hot chocolate before. Nor had he ever drunk from such a.. cute teacup. He had also never had a lunch only consisting of plastic crumpets and the accompaniment of stuffed animals, sitting on either side of him.
The clanking of metal against glass caught his attention. She had dropped her spoon and was now staring at him in a very annoyed manner.
"As your hostess I should be treated with better behavior than this!" She exclaimed, as if Sasuke had actually had a choice of being there. "Maybe you really don't want my family's jutsu so bad after all.."
Sasuke was dumbfounded. The girl appeared harmless enough, in her fancy dress and bow; but little did he know, she could turn lethal in a second.
He squeezed his eyes shut and shook just slightly. He could just walk right out of here. Sasuke Uchiha doesn't sink as low as a tea party just for one measly jutsu!
He opened his eyes to see her impatiently waiting for his response.
"Well?" She admonished.
"I-I'm sorry, Michi-hime." Sasuke spat through gritted teeth, simultaneously throwing away all sense of self dignity. He didn't look up, not wanting to see the expression of victory sure to be written on her face.
Then, all at once, a harmonious smile found it's way to her face, and she looked utterly sweet once more. He was almost at a loss for words. Maybe.. She would decide to teach him now..
"No problem, Sasuke-san," She cooed softly as their eyes met. There was a moment of pleasant silence between the two.
Then she suddenly broke that silence as she turned her attention to the limp stuffed rabbit propped up on a chair beside her. "My, Tama-chan! You drank your tea so fast! Let me pour you another cup!" She exclaimed brightly, whilst the realization of his imprisonment finally sunk in on the boy in front of her. So he stiffly sat drinking the strange 'hot chocolate', sang songs about itsy bitsy spiders, and talked to inanimate stuffed animals.
Uchiha's always did have lots of pride. But for the sake of strong, valuable jutsus, and adorable tea-party throwing girls, Sasuke would just have to make an exception.
