Hello, everyone who reads my ultimately fascinating stories that I write because I want to. Hope you, I guess enjoy this… It was on my mind and I was like, screw it, I'm writing it before I forget it. It is kind of OOC.. I think. But it's more interesting, I guess in this way. I have another story up but it only has a few chapters and its taking me forever to write it but at least check it out. Oh and review if you want on both stories. Loving reviews or hate, don't care just… review… for me.. ok? Though I prefer loving ones…. :)

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, I would be living in a big condo with Naruto plastered on every wall.

The Sleepover

"Yeaaaa! I win!" Ino yelled happily.

Sakura sighed. "Shit, you won again."

"I swear Ino is using her mind jutsu without us knowing!" Tenten complained.

Konoha Village. The peaceful village everyone calls. Just not when it comes to sleepovers with the village hero kunoichis. A lot has happened since the war. Peace has been settled throughout all nations. Naruto was considered the hero of all time, but not the hero in Hinata's heart. She changed out of her usual shyness and stuttering and all the fainting. After the war, Hinata realized she needed to man up, or "woman up" and she couldn't bear the fact that she needed to be always protected. She blocked all love ties with Naruto and it was a good reason too.

Two weeks ago, Naruto Proposed to Sakura. Hinata was fine with that. If she were the girl a couple months ago, she would have bawled her eyes out. Hinata tuned out of their bickering, only for her mind to go to a man. That damn man. Him and his opinions. Why did he have to push her so hard to make her release all her emotions she tied off completely? If only he hadn't met her a couple days back and offer her that stupid deal.

FLASHBACK:

No one would have believed any rumor of the Heiress of the most prestigious clan sitting at a bar, DRUNK yet they were true. Hinata sat alone in a booth at the back of a bar, drinking like a maniac. Dressed in a black baggy jacket and capris, Hinata was reminiscing memories of her childhood. Oh, how easy it was to be a kid. Hinata sighed and fill her cup of sake to the rim. She usually didn't solve her problems with alcohol, but right now seemed like a damn good idea.

"Well, well. Ain't this a pretty picture."

Hinata didn't pick her head up. She knew EXACTLY who he was. "Piss off, Uchiha," Hinata muttered. "I'm not in the mood to handle your presence right now."

Ignoring her comment, he sat down across from her. "You know, if someone sees you right now, rumors will spread like wildfire."

"Like I give a damn."

Sasuke smirked. "You should drink more often. It's rare to hear the Hyuga Heiress used such strong vocabulary."

Hinata looked at him with annoyance. "Don't you have somewhere to be? Like repopulating your clan or something?"

"Yea, I should be. Care to Volunteer?" He said with a smirk.

Hinata spit her sake out. She changed all right, but sometimes Hinata can be from complete prideful kunoichi to the shy, nervous girl years back in a blink of an eye and the Uchiha knows where to trigger that change.

"N-never in your dreams!" Hinata sputtered out while wiping her now wet shirt.

"I was only kidding."

"Good."

"…"

"Would you like a drink?"

"Sure."

Hinata poured him the last of the Sake from the bottle and waved to the bartender to bring more. After the war, Sasuke was put on probation as an untrustworthy ninja and still had to work and prove his loyalty and innocence to be fully accepted again to the village. Through that time, he and Hinata made a close bonding friendship that no one understood. Sasuke helped Hinata get through her shyness and in return, Hinata helped him through some techniques that were useful for the Uchiha. They both knew each other hardships, which made both of them acknowledge each other. Yet sometimes, they both hated each other to the bottom of their soul.

"What brings you here?" Sasuke asked after chugging the cup of Sake.

"Family business."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Sighing, Hinata added, "I'm getting married."

"Oh, who's the lucky guy?"

"Don't know. The guy doesn't even know who he is even marrying."

"How do you know that?" Sasuke questioned.

"Neji nii-san told me."

"Can you get out of this situation?"

"Yea, I can." Hinata said softly.

"How?"

"Marry someone I know and love and I'll be free."

"And who is that the one you love?"

"Don't beat around the bush, Sasuke. You know perfectly who I was referring to." Hinata spat.

A waiter came and dropped a bottle of sake. Hinata instantly grabbed it and poured some for herself and then to Sasuke. Sasuke watched in amusement at the Hyuga who was gulping her drink down. The idiot Naruto was her lover. Yet, Naruto was completely clueless that Hinata loved him and only two days ago, he proposed to Sakura. What did she see in Naruto anyways?

"I thought you were over him," he informed.

"I am."

"Really?"

"Yup."

Sasuke drank his drink and spoke, "Then, why are you ruining yourself right now?"

Hinata looked up from her drink. "I'm drinking because I'm celebrating my great news on getting married. What else? Plus, I'm enjoying my last couple months here…"

Sasuke's eyes went wide and he leaned forward. "What do you mean a couple of months?" Then realization hit. "You're getting shipped off aren't you?"

Hinata lowered her head.

Sasuke sat back, surprised. "Does anyone know about this?"

"You're the second out of the Konoha 12. Neji was there when it was announced."

"What did he think?"

"He disagreed. Even my father couldn't do anything about it. The stubborn council members didn't want me to be the next leader, say I'm not strong and other nonsense," she said through her clenched teeth. She balled her fists. "Well I don't care anymore. If getting shipped out means bringing me peace from the arrogant clan members I'll do it, even though I'll miss my friends and family."

Sasuke gritted his teeth. "You don't actually mean that…"

"Well, what if I do?!" Hinata stated angrily. "Who here would want a weakling kunoichi as their wife here in this village, huh? The man I'm supposed to marry is not even a ninja, for crying out loud! At least I'll feel somewhat superior to him."

Sasuke stared at her for a moment. Then he took some money out of his pocket and put it on the table. "I need to say something and this is not the right place. Let's go."

Sasuke stood and started walking. Hinata was a little tipsy because of the alcohol in her system but managed to follow outside where he was. Sasuke stood outside next to the door. "Let's go to my place. Your place is somewhat uncomfortable."

"Well, you're putting that lightly," Hinata said sarcastically.

Both ninjas started walking to the Uchiha manor. He did get his place back walked in a semi- comfortable silence until they reached the manor. Sasuke unlocked his door and signaled Hinata to follow. She walked in, Sasuke closing the door behind her and walking to the living room. He sat down on the couch looking serious. He gestured for her to sit as well. What's his problem? Hinata thought. She sat down and stared at him idly. A couple minutes passed. Sasuke broke the silence.

"I have a proposition for you."

Hinata looked at him with bewilderment. A proposition?

"What do you have in mind?" She questioned.

"You said you would stay if you would marry someone you knew, correct?"

"AND loved," she corrected.

"That's beside the point. Now, here's my proposition. If I find someone you knew as a close one, would you marry him instead of a complete stranger?" Sasuke asked.

"Of course," Hinata answered without hesitation. "But it would depend who. I still won't be able to love that man either way."

"Love or not, would you do it?"

Hinata looked at him with confusion. Who does he plan to ship me off to? She checked herself who she would find comfortable into marrying. She found none.

Hinata looked up with a stern face. "Of course I would. I love this village,just not the clan. But may I ask WHO am I going to marry."

Sasuke looked at her with a smirk. "Simple… me."

"WHAT?"

"Think about it. you're clan would actually want to since I have the Sharingan. They would think that combining two bloodline limits would make a great advantage with them. But of course, that would mean children. But you and I both know we aren't that type of friendship material. You will marry me and when you find the perfect guy, we'll break off our marriage and marry your loved one. Piece of cake."

Hinata looked at him with shock. "That will not work! You were a traitor to this village. They despise you!"

"We'll figure it out. So are you in or not? This is the only chance to make or you'll never see your friends or family ever again."

Looking at him uncertainly she thought it over. It seemed genius and it might work. But was this the only way?

"Fine."

Sasuke sat up. "Good. We're engaged."

"You could have at least proposed like a decent man. And don't you dare think I'm going to be soft around you."

"We'll see."

End of FLASHBACK:

"Oi,Hinnnaaatttaaa!"

Hinata woke up from her trance only to see all three of the girls staring at her with curious expressions.

"Hey, you gonna play? We're sick and tired of playing cards so we're gonna play Truth or Dare. You in?" Tenten asked.

"Hey you just don't want to play cards, because you know I'm gonna win!" Ino chimed while grabbing some snacks out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

"Shut up!"

"Ano, Sure, I guess." Hinata replied. Hinata never did tell them about her marriage yet.

The girls gathered in a circle ready to play.

"Alright! I'm first!" Sakura yelled. "Ino, truth or dare?"

"I'm gonna play it safe. Truth."

"Okkkaaayyyy…Ooh, I got one!" Sakura looked at Hinata and winked. Hinata shook her head. I knew Sakura would confront her sooner or later.

"Is it true that you and Shika are together now?" Sakura said while raising an eyebrow. Ino turned beet red.

"Wow, is that really true?!" Tenten said excitedly.

"Ummm..No!... I mean y-yea.. But it's not o-official or a-anything!" Ino muttered frantically while waving her hands.

"Ha! That means it's true!" Tenten said while pointing a finger to Ino. "And Ino, I've never seen you so fluttery like… ever!"

"Yea, you kind of remind me of old Hinata." Sakura pointed out.

They all turned to Hinata and looked at her sadly.

Hinata stared. "What?"

Sigh. "You really changed, Hinata," Sakura spoke quietly. "We kind of miss the old you."

Hinata laughed. "Miss? I don't. It just reminds me of how weak I was. Now I actually see myself as an equal to you guys. There's nothing to miss." Hinata added softly.

They looked at each other with uncertain glances. They all knew what hardships Hinata went through. Especially Sakura. Sure, she was guilty for accepting Naruto's proposal, but she loved him. And the fact that Hinata was OKAY with it got her worried. Intense silence covered the room. Then Tenten stood up with a suspicious grin and twinkle in her eyes.

"Fine. If you count yourself an equal you gotta choose dare."

Hinata looked at her with an amused look on her face.

"I'm planning to," she replied with a smirk.

"Ooh, this is too good!" Tenten chimed.

Everyone looked at her suspiciously. "Hey, Hinata you know how Sasuke has been on your ass these couple of weeks?"

Shit. "Yea, and what of it?"

"I dare you to come up to him and give him one hell of a kiss on the lips!" Tenten said with a huge smile on her face.

"It's the middle of the night! He'll be sleeping."

Tenten smiled mischievously. "The guys are having a guy sleepover at Naruto's. I doubt they're sleeping."

Hinata looked at her with disbelief. "You planned this!"

Tenten looked at her innocently. "What, me? Of course not!"

Hinata eyed her and sighed. "Fine."

OUTSIDE NARUTO'S APARTMENT

Hinata paced nervously. Her and Sasuke's engagement wasn't out yet but what if he'll think this is me showing affection in front of the girls to prove she's engaged!? Sighing heavily, she stopped walking. Well, nothing I can do about it. Walking to the front door, she knocked three times. Shuffling was heard from the other side of the door and Naruto answered the door.

" Oh, hey Hinata-chan! What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Naruto questioned.

"I need to talk to Sasuke."

"Oh, sure," Naruto replied. Naruto turned his head and yelled, "Ey, Sasuke, get your ass to come to the door!"

"Why?"

"Just come here!"

A few seconds past and Sasuke came looked a little angry. "What do you need dobe, I'm winning in this game of cards and I don't trust the guys to lo-…" Sasuke saw Hinata. "Hinata? What are you doing here?"

Hinata looked at Sasuke and said sternly, "I need to talk to you." Hinata looked at Naruto.

"Alone."

Sasuke getting the message put his hand on Naruto's face and pushed him inside and closed the door.

"Ey!"

Sasuke crossed his arms across his chest and questioned, "So what do you need to tell me. It better be important because I have to.." Sasuke was cut off by soft lips crashing onto his. Standing still for a couple of seconds, dazed, he let his arms come to around her body and get closer. After a couple of seconds, Hinata broke the kiss slowly.

Sasuke stood there dumbly for a moment and asked, "What the hell was that for?"

"Well, you said I had to show love and affection to my fiancée so what do you think I'm doing?" Hinata answered and pushed away.

"Night Sasuke-kun!" Hinata said sweetly and started walking away. Sasuke STILL stood there like an idiot.

"Oh by the way," Hinata said in a teasing tone, "You look cute when you blush."

With that she ran off into the darkness.

Hinata was running towards the trio and all shrieked with excitement. "That was awesome, Hinata! Didn't think you had it in you!" Ino practically yelled.

Hinata laughed. "Well what do you expect? A soon-to-be husband and wife are supposed to show love to each other, right?"

With that Hinata fled to her apartment, leaving three, open mouthed kunoichi, staring at each other with shock.

In unison, "WHAT!?"

Sasuke was sitting on the ground, his back on the wall trying to process what just happened. Sasuke picked up his hand subconsciously to lips where hers just were a couple seconds ago. There was only one thing in his head. This engagement idea was the best idea ever.

Hinata closed the door to her apartment and smiled to herself. Maybe this deal won't be so bad after all, Hinata thought as she felt something in her heart. Something that will open up in time to be filled up again with one thing that she severed all ties too.

Her heart was filling up with love.
