Drunk Hanabi

( Hinata's point of view)

I stare into Sasuke's eyes as I unconsciously get closer to him. Wait! I can't do this. He's my boss and I'm married, this is wrong. I stop and pull away from Sasuke in a hurry before I do something I might regret. "T-Thank y-you for returning m-my phone Sasuke I will see you tomorrow," I say fast.

I turn around and start running home, I need to get away from him. When I'm a good 3 blocks away I stop and catch my breath. I can't believe I almost kissed Sasuke, I'm a married woman!

My face is red from a mixture of blushing and running so fast. I start walking home trying to distract myself from the almost kiss by thinking about what I'm going to cook tomorrow. Cooking has always calmed me down, it's a sort of safe heaven for me.

When I get home I start cooking dinner for myself since Naruto's most likely going eat out somewhere like he usually does when he works late. When I'm finished eating, I start cleaning up the house distracting myself from thinking about Sasuke.

When I'm finished I lay on the couch tired from cleaning the entire house. I start thinking about the almost kiss. I began to wonder what would have happened if we had kissed.

Multiple scenarios start to go through my head. Would I have pulled away and slapped him? That's what usually happens in my soap operas. Would I have pulled away and just ran? Or... Would I have kissed him back? I begin to imagine what it would have been like being in his strong arms kissing him senseless.

"Hinata!" I yelp and jump up from my place on the couch. I look at the doorway and see Naruto standing there "I have been calling you for 5 minutes already" he says, "N-Naruto I'm sorry I didn't hear you, you scared me" I say nervously like I have been caught doing something I shouldn't have been doing.

He looks at me suspiciously but lets it go. "What are you still doing up? Don't you have work tomorrow?" he asks looking at his watch. I check the time on my phone, it's already 12:30 a.m. "Ahh yes I should be going to bed," I say and quickly escape to my room.

We sleep in separate rooms. Naruto's idea, I don't really question it since my parents also used to sleep in separate rooms from time to time usually when they fought... But I don't mind sleeping in separate rooms. I quickly change into my pajamas, I turn off the lights and try to sleep.

I'm awoken by my phone ringing. I half asleep answer it and put it to my ear. "H-Hello," I say in a raspy voice from being suddenly awoken. "Hinataaaa!" a voice says through it I immediately recognize it. "Hanabi is that you? What are you doing calling me at..." I look at my digital clock on the nightstand it reads 3:30 a.m. " 3 o clock in the morning!" I try to scream into the phone but am still semi-asleep.

"Well you see the problem is *hic* I need you to pick me up," she says. "Hanabi are you drunk?" I ask then sigh. "No! the stupid bartender said the same thing *hic* and tricked me into giving him my car keys" she says. "How did he trick you?" I ask curiously since Hanabi isn't one to get tricked easily. "He said give me your car keys, *hic* that bastard! and his manipulating ways" she says mad at the bartender.

Yup Hanabi's drunk, I sigh again "Where are you Hanabi?" I ask while getting up and putting on my shoes. "I'm at that cool *hic* bar that just opened up on Joplin street" she slurs. "Okay I know which one you're talking about just stay there I'll be there in 5 minutes," I say then hang up.

I put on my sweater since it's chilly outside, I get my keys and leave the house. I start the car and put the heat on. Then I drive to the bar still in my pajamas not caring who sees me. When I go inside I immediately cover my nose from the powerful smell of alcohol.

I see Hanabi sitting on a stool at the bar, she has a black strapless mini dress. "Hanabi!" I call her getting her attention. She looks up at me and starts crying "Hinata!" she cries out and hugs me tight. "I missed you I thought *hic* I was never going to see you again," she sobs and cry's on my sweater.

"It's okay Hanabi I'm here now" I say trying to comfort her. "Hanabi why were you even drinking? You never drink," I ask her, "That son of a bitch Konohamaru broke up with me, "she says sobbing. I decide not to ask any more questions, to be truthful I never really liked him, I'm sort of happy they broke up.

As we are about to walk away I remember her keys, I see the bartender all the way on the other side of the bar cleaning the counter. "Hanabi wait here, I'm going to go ask the bartender for your keys do not move," I say then walk toward the bartender.

I talk to the bartender and tell him how Hanabi is my sister and I'm taking her home. He hands me the keys and wishes me luck on getting Hanabi not to throw up in my car. I just smile and walk towards where I left Hanabi, I see her arguing with some guy.

"Hanabi what's wrong? Why are you screaming?" I ask as I walk up to her. She looks at me "This jerk! *hic* Just bumped into me!" she yells. I turn toward the man "No! You! *hic* bumped into me!" he corrects.

"Itachi there you are," a voice I recognize says, I turn toward the direction of the voice and see Sasuke. "S-Sasuke," I say surprised to see him, as soon as he looks at me I start blushing. "H-Hinata I didn't see you there, what are you ah doing here?" he asks while avoiding my eyes.

I look down at the ground also "Oh, I'm here to pick up my sister she got drunk so she can't drive home, what about you?" I ask boy is this awkward. "Same... My brother got drunk so I had to come get him," he says, then there's an awkward silence. "I should probably get going and take my sister home," I say breaking the silence.

I turn towards the stool I left Hanabi in but she's gone. "Huh, Where'd Hanabi go," I say out loud. "Hey, Itachi's missing too," Sasuke says. "Isn't that them over there?" a voice says, I turn and it's the bartender. I turn to where he's pointing. There I see Hanabi and Sasuke's brother Itachi making out.

"Hanabi!" I scream she turns to me then whisper something into Itachi's ear and they run out of the bar hand in hand. I run and follow them out but before I can get to them, I see them get in a taxi and drive off.

"I'm going to kill her for this," I say tired and cranky from being woken up at 3 in the morning to get my drunk sister only to have her to run off with some guy she just met to do god knows where.

"Let them be" I hear someone say, I turn and see Sasuke there. I didn't realize till now but he's wearing a pair of gray sweatpants and a white T-shirt. He must have been woken up right now also to get his brother.

"I should get going... Bye Sasuke," I say still avoiding his gaze. I start to walk toward my car before I get in I hear him whisper "bye Hinata". I close the car door and start the car, I drive away towards home.
