Kiba slammed his fist repeatedly in the reservations wall, staining it with his blood.
"Why? Why would she do some thing so stupid? How could she do something like this? Goddamnit!"
Shino watch his friend impassively. Not bothering to intervene, he knew it wouldn't help; kiba needed an outlet for his anger, and if he preferred to take it out on a wall, then that was his business.
Shino surveyed his friend calmly; kiba was almost the exact opposite of him; loud, arrogant; and impulsive. He would run into situations head long without thinking of the consequences, which with often resulted in trouble for him and the party involved. He was extremely opinionated, and tended to voice his views to anyone within earshot, this led people to believe that he was an obnoxious dunderhead, with a disregard for peoples feeling, and his own well being. Shino knew that this was untrue, as Kiba also happen to be the most patient; understanding, and non-judgemental person he had ever had the good fortune to meet.
Kiba's breath came in ragged grasps, as he desperately tried to clam himself down. "Why? Why would she do this Shino?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, as he cradled his throbbing hand. His friend sighed, "You know why Kiba. The reason she does everything…to impress her father, to force him to acknowledge her existence. You know this, don't pretend you don't". Kiba wheeled on his friend, outrage burning in his eyes, "Yes I know that, but why? It's sick; twisted; and wrong on so many levels. What ever happened to marrying for love? Marrying for your fathers praise? It's disgusting! And to that cold-hearted bastard! She'd be better off with Naruto!" he scoffed.
Shino eyes bulged behind his dark shades. Had kiba just wished Hinata on his arch rival? The man Kiba swore was an oblivious moron who would never be worthy of Hinata's affections. Who, Kiba swore, he'd rather burn his own eyes out then witness the two of them together. Shino froze, he knew that kiba was upset, but to utter such a blasphemy was to suggest border line depression.
"I'm sorry man; I didn't mean to take it out on you. It's just…." Kiba let the sentence hang. He didn't need to finish it, both boys agreed on the situation; just one was more out spoken then the other. Kiba sighed and tiredly rubbed his hand across his face. He just couldn't believe this was happening. She was too young; only 18, she's not ready to be married, she hasn't experienced life yet, its too soon to lock her up in the only form of legalised slavery left in the world….or it will be if she marries the cold bastard.
Kiba was always there to help her, but her heart always belonged to someone else. He would do just about anything to make her happy…if she'd only open up her eyes and see it. He'd never tell her how he felt though, he knew if he did it would ruin their 8 year friendship, neither party would feel comfortable in each others presence if he told her. Kiba was no illusions of the out come of that particular conversation; Hinata would either faint; or burst into tears, but either way she would reject him. Kiba wasn't that selfish, he knew how much Hinata relied on him, and he'd rather have her as his best friend then not have her at all.

Sasuke glanced over at his fiancé, who was sitting in the soft-backed chair beside him, in her father's office. She was pretty; he'll admit that, but not really his type. Hinata was a timid creature, who tended to have a permanent blush plastered to her face when anyone addressed her. They both knew this was a marriage of convenience, and nothing more. The only reason Sasuke proposed to marry the girl, was because her family was head of Byakugan studios, that, and the dowry for marrying into the prestigious Hyuuga family was astronomical, and would add nicely to the Uchiha fortune.
Turning his attention back to the pre-nuptials on the desk before him, he quickly skimmed over the minor changes Hiashi-sama made, and deftly signed his name on the bottom of the 33 paged pre-nuptial agreements that he had prepared. Hinata had little or no say in this arrangement; it was wholly her father decision, and based on the resigned expression on her delicate features, she had no objections or queries on the matter of her future. If Sasuke haven't researched the Hyuuga clan's history before hand, he would have suspected that she was forced into the marriage -something Sasuke was completely against- and not just searching for a way to gain her fathers approval.
Feeling generous he pushed the pre-nuptials toward her, so that she could gain a faint knowledge of what their married life would hold in store for her.
The sliding door crashed open, and Hanabi, hinata's 16 year old sister, and soul heir to the Hyuuga fortune and Byakugan studios, stormed into her father's office like she owned it. Snatching the pre-nuptial off the desk, she proceeded to tear trough it like a mad women on red-bull, her pansy eyes roving a mile-a-minute as she absorbed the fine-print. "Why wasn't I informed of this meeting?" she demanded, her eyes never leaving the page, "Well? Don't you think it would have been a good learning experience for me?"
Sasuke allowed his gaze to travel over the intruders body, assessing her; she was wipe thin and short in stature, with shoulder length ebony hair and large pansy-pink eyes that dominated her face, her eyes on anyone else would have given that person a little-lost-girl-look, but on Hanabi; they were cold, hard, and as sharp as steel. Her body was impeccably toned; she was all muscles with ivory coating. Although she was short, her confidence made her stand tall, something Sasuke always admired in a woman.
Comparing her and Hinata, for most people Hinata was a natural beauty, if nothing else. She had pale creamy skin and full hour-glass figure, with long midnight blue hair and lavender-tinted eyes that glowed softly with kindness giving her a motherly look, and her body was the kind that gave the most perfect hugs, another reason why he chose her instead of her sister. She would be the prefect mother for their children. However her submissive and timid nature was slightly off putting, as Sasuke had always preferred strong women who gave orders instead of taking them.
Hanabi was a different story entirely; she was a machine, with limitless ambition and a slightly sadist edge, she was the type of girl who would step on anyone one who got in her way, she was a business woman with no time for children, her only focus was her clan and future career as CEO of Byakugan studios, which was the Walt Disney to his Pixzar animation, Sharingan productions. He found himself oddly attracted to the feisty girl, even if she was his annoying business rival.
"Will someone explain why I wasn't informed? I am after all the heir; it's my birthright to be involved in these discussions!" she yelled, slamming her hands on down on the mahogany desk, her pansy eyes flashing with rage.
Sasuke couldn't help it, he snorted in amusement, "It's not your birthright; you stole it from your sister." He stated coldly.
Hinata winced as the words escaped his mouth; she then cringed into her seat, bracing her self for a verbal attack from either her cold and distant father, or her cruel, spoilt, younger sister. She wasn't disappointed.
"Stolen? Hardly! Hinata was too weak to carry on our blood line, so I was given the honour as well as the title! Therefore it was my birthright to surpass her as heir to the Hyuuga clan! She failed to uphold her destiny, so it was my duty to replace her!" Hanabi's eyes shot daggers at him and Hinata, like this was some how her fault Sasuke spoke to her that way. Hiashi-sama looked on expectantly from behind his desk, the wide bay window throwing his figure into silhouette; watching to see how both of his daughters reacted to the old argument.
Tears filled the elder Hyuuga girl's eye as her little sister humiliated her in front of her future husband. The younger Hyuuga girl continued to shoot daggers at Sasuke, as if daring him to deny it.
Anger boiled in the pit of Sasuke's stomach, causing a bitter taste to enter his mouth. How dare this irritating, spoilt brat talk about his bride-to-be like that, while he mightn't love or even be attracted to Hinata, he will not allow her to be insulted like that.
"That may be so, but this is a private discussion, nothing that concerns you! Now toddle along little girl, the grown ups have important business to carry out." He scoffed at her, snatching the pre-nuptials back and carefully shuffling them into order, he laid them on the desk, and shot hiashi-sama a loaded look.
Hanabi's left eye twitched in rage, her lip pursed and she growled at him "little girl? Toddle along? HOW DARE YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH YOU POMPOUS PUFFED-UP PRICK?" Sasuke sighed heavily and shot hiashi-sama another look, before turning to Hanabi "look, as I've said before, this is a private discussion and it is illegal for you to be here without my consent. Since you've insulted my bride-to-be…" a blush appeared on Hinata's face, "…and myself, that's hardly going to happen now. So unless you're somehow above the law, I suggest you leave immediately, before you hinder the business arrangements." He spelt out calmly, as though he was talking to a retarded 5 year old.
Hiashi-sama paled slightly at the last comment, while he had allowed his favourite daughter to insult his future son-in-law, thinking to put the Uchiha in his place, he hadn't suspected that the boy would threaten to back out of the marriage plans. He look at his favourite daughter warily, if he threw her out, she'd make him regret it later, but if he didn't, then it would mess up his plans for an alliance between the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan studios, and the Uchiha families Sharingan productions. He sighed and lowered his head, while he hated to disappoint his favourite daughter, the Uchiha boy had a point, she couldn't witness the transaction without his consent, and that clearly wasn't going to happen.
Hanabi, seeing the expression of defeat on her fathers face, let out a pricing scream of denial-which made all three people cringe into their seats- and flounced from the room in a whirlwind of pure fury, and disbelief that her father had chosen someone over her.
Hiashi sighed again; his wide brow furrowed in annoyance, while he may favour Hanabi, her behaviour caused him a great deal of embarrassment, which he would have to apologize for….and to an Uchiha no less.
Hiashi looked between his oldest daughter and the Uchiha boy; he couldn't help feeling a little smug. His daughter was gaining a status that she wouldn't have achieved if she married anyone else. After all, she was marrying the CEO of Sharingan productions and gaining access to the substantial Uchiha fortune, and as her father, he had her ear, so he would have a say in the running of Sharingan productions. While the Uchiha boy gets the short end of the stick, as he is marrying the Hyuuga reject who has less power then a caged dove, with a limited number of shares and only the Hyuuga dowry as a selling point, he may well have married the family dog. It was a win-win situation.
Hiashi stared at his eldest daughter; watching her squirm under his gaze. She should be grateful to him for finding her such a fitting husband, especially since she is undeserving of his attention. She couldn't after all, even hold on to a title that she was born with. Yes, he felt proud of what he had accomplished for his undeserving daughter, he was able to rid himself of a free-loading loser and burden his business rival with her.
It was definitely, a win-win situation.
