Chapter two

Ah, I would just like to make clear that I am very pleased with the results of chapter one. Much thanks to all who reviewed. Also, my other story will be updated shortly. I just thought those who read it would like to hear that.

Sasuke Uchiha, stared at the small picture of the woman he would soon be married to. He had to admit he was a little disappointed. He had expected a harder looking woman with dark black hair and high eyebrows, with large dark brown eyes ready to perk up at any moments notice. But instead he got a woman, a Hyuga that looked like she had been born from an angel. Pure white skin, large pearl colored eyes, silky hair. She was gorgeous but that was the problem.

She had a very soft looking, fragile figure. She also probably had a very meek personality, a personality he didn't fancy at all. Would she even be able to bear his children? It was actually a very aggravating question. What if she couldn't? An even more aggravating question.

Sasuke sighed and stopped thinking about it. He was just going to have to wait, something he wasn't good at. He wasn't very worried though about pleasing her. If she were to be his wife than she was to act like his wife, it was as simple as that. And if she refused then there would be problems.

He was viewed from many angles and people considered him to be a very complex man. He though was in fact very simple. You please him, do as he told you with no back mouth, you got no problems from him. It was a good, strong strategy that had worked for generations with the Uchiha family. It worked indeed.

It worked very well.

A few days later, after the news of her betrothal, Hinata had calmed down considerably. She, after crying her eyes out, had decided to look at the bright side of things. There was no point in sobbing because it wouldn't change what was going to happen. She felt a little better about things after her Father had arranged a picture of her betrothal sent up to her. He was handsome for one thing, not very nice looking though. They would just have to deal with things then, she told herself.

She often wondered what their relationship would be like. Whether she would have enough courage to talk to him or not when she would first meet him. It scared her at first. What if he didn't like her? Would they have an awkward relationship? She hoped not. Perhaps it would be love at first sight…or maybe not.

She had gotten a call from one of her friends earlier that day, Ino Yamanaka. Who was ecstatic about her betrothal. Hinata had found out that her marriage had been posted in the newspaper, and that was how Ino found out. Not being married herself, Ino had wished Hinata good luck. Ino didn't want to get married. It was very hard to believe because Hinata found out that she was very good with men unlike herself who blushed every time man winked at her or gave her a swift smile. She had always been so shy while Ino had been very loud and rambunctious.

As kids, Hinata could remember Ino saying "Come on Hinata. Perk up! Stop acting all scared and shy!" And she tried to act as Ino told her. But it never worked out, it felt weird and it made her feel out of place. Acting shy just made her feel more comfortable. It was strange, yes, but really in reality nobody is normal. At least not in her family. She had a Father who acted like a tyrant, though at times he was merciful which she was glad of that, She had a sister who was just as loud and rambunctious as Ino was, she had a cousin who was about the most intellectual person she knew, and of course there was herself, a woman, though she still felt like a little girl at times, not very social when it came to expressing her opinions. So many faults…so little time to correct them that is if they can be corrected.

Perhaps being strange is normal since so many people are strange. Being strange is so common it's become normal. It is abnormal if you weren't strange.

Was he strange? She had asked herself. Perhaps he was…perhaps he was just like herself…perhaps not. No, he didn't look strange but they do say don't judge a book by its cover. Ino, when she had seen him had called him a handsome devil. Hinata wrinkled her nose. A handsome devil? She thought not! He certainly was handsome but he looked less like a devil than the next man did. Ino did always come up with the funniest names. Sometimes so naïve and childish Hinata had a hard time believing she was twenty-six.

Ino had been born into a wealthy family as Hinata had though she decided to take on the 'simple' life. Simple was what Ino liked. What's the point in becoming all high and mighty when half the time you're miserable? She had debated with Neji a few times. He had answered. What's the point of being simple when you could have the better things in life? Hinata agreed with no one. Yes, she herself liked simple things but she had to admit having the better things in life was nice.

Would Neji like him? Hinata hoped so. Having disagreements in the family would not work out nicely. Not only for Neji's wife but herself as well. And her father would banish someone of course. We have to keep up the family name. Her Fathers motto. The Hyuga's were known for being very in-charge and precise. Three strikes and you're out. That's how things went.

Would he understand her Father's rule and order? Would he even tolerate it? Perhaps, she was forgetting he too came from a very prestigious family. Was he used to always being ordered around? There was a great possibility that he was. Would he be like that as well? Her father had given her enough practice so if he was she would be ready…hopefully she would.

She wished she had all the answers in life. She wished she could predict the future. But that would be no fun. Ino would say. Who needs fun, you're an adult Ino it's time for responsibility. Neji would reply annoyingly. And Hinata would watch, like she always did, expressing her opinion to herself like she always did. Neji…you are one of the most boring men I have ever associated with! How did you get married again? Since I wasn't invited to the wedding! Ino rattled off. And Neji would sigh and close his eyes. He would say no more and things would get very quiet until Hinata suggested everybody go out for a refreshing drink.

She was satisfied with her life but only to soon would she be introduced to another.

Hinata is one of my most favored characters. So today I played favorites between him and her. I know I should include him a little bit more but I'm just a little bit more accustomed to her than to him.

So the first paragraphs are of his opinions, not on everything but on her. I tried to make him sound as Sasuke-like as I could but unfortunately I don't think it went out well. I think I made him a bit too soft. So that's why I started out with him.

Please try to give me some pointers on how to get his personality right, I've always had trouble writing with his voice.

Thank you :D
