Chapter three: My dancing partner
The most of the girls in the gym were squaling in anticipation. Today was the day when Itachi would tell them who would be his dancing partner in the Kyuubi Contest. Hinata herself didn´t expect to be the one who he would choose, but deep inside she wished she could go to that contest. That would truly be a dream come true.
Hinata was warming up her muscles when Itachi entered to the gym. He dropped his bag carelessly on the floor and removed his black hoodie, revealing a tight red t-shirt covering his chest and stomach. Hinata gulped and turned away blushing whereas the others started drooling and giggling. Itachi just ignored them.
"So, as you all know, today I´m going to announce who will be my dancing partner." Itachi stated, earning few cheers from his students. "And also this is the last day of the dancing course." Everybody´s faces fell, including Hinata´s. She liked being in that course, not only because of Itachi but because she had learned so many things.
"It has been a pleasure to teach all of you." Itachi said, or should I say, lied. Some of the girls were just so horrible dancers that Itachi didn´t know should he laugh or cry. "So, about my dancing partner... It was hard to decide who should I choose since here is many potential dancers, but I think I made the right choice." Itachi slowly started walking through the gym, with a small smirk on his face. Everyone´s eyes were glued to him, except Hinata´s who kept her eyes on her feet. Soon Itachi was standing right in front of Hinata. She gulped nervously and kept her eyes on the ground.
Itachi forced her to look at him, lifting her jaw with his fingers. He knew she was nervous, but somehow he just liked to tease her. Others eyed Hinata with jealousy and someone´s were glaring death glares towards her.
"I have decided that you will be my partner, Hyuuga." He said with a smirk. Hinata blushed deeply.
"No way!" Somebody said on the background.
"I´m much better dancer than her!" One girl whined.
"She´s so plain! Nobody will notice her!" But Itachi and Hinata didn´t hear them. They were too busy while staring in each other´s eyes.
"This is my final decision." Itachi said and let go of Hinata´s face. He walked back to the front of the gym without looking back. Girls looked at him with disappointed faces. Somebody had even started crying. Slowly they started to leave, some of them still glaring at Hinata evilly. She didn´t notice though, since she was still frozen in place. She couldn´t believe that he had actually chosen her.
"I wonder if this was such a good idea." She thought, light blush still on her cheeks. Slowly she started walking to Itachi, who was seeking something from his bag.
"A-Ano, s-sensei..." Hinata started timidly, not really knowing what she should say.
"Don´t call me that. I´m not your sensei anymore. Just Itachi." He said calmy, not bothering to turn around to face her.
"Ah, h-hai..." Hinata said quietly and twiddled her fingers nervously. She had no idea that Itachi was watching her from the corner of his eye. He smirked, knowing that he was the reason to her nervousness.
"U-Umm... when d-do w-we s-start practicing?" Hinata wanted to get out from the gym, she needed to talk to Tenten and Temari. Itachi thought for a moment before answering.
"Come tonight at my house. We´ll talk more about this there." He said and gave Hinata his address. With that he left, leaving Hinata standing there, dumbfounded.
"Tonight? At his house?" Hinata wanted to faint. She quickly left the gym and headed to Temari´s house.

Hinata knocked twice on the door of her friend´s house and soon it was opened by Temari´s little brother, Gaara.
"H-Hi Gaara-kun." Hinata said with a smile.
"Hi." The red head answered and stepped aside to let Hinata inside.
"Is Temari-chan h-home?" Gaara just nodded and pointed upstairs. Hinata thanked him and headed towards Temari´s room. Allthough Gaara didn´t talk much to Hinata, she knew he cared about her. He had proved it more than once.
Hinata knocked on Temari´s door and entered without waiting an answer.
"Oh Hinata-chan! What brings you here?" Tenten, who was in Temari´s room too, asked.
"He chose me." Hinata breathed out, closing the door behind her. The other girls looked confused.
"Who chose you?" Temari asked, lifting her eyebrow.
"Itachi. He chose me to be his d-dancing partner." Hinata explained, earning loud squeals from her friends.
"We knew it! So when do you start practicing?" Tenten asked while grinning like an idiot.
"I don´t know yet." Hinata answered and sat down on Temari´s bed. "He told me to come to his house tonight..." She mumbled the last part so quietly that Tenten and Temari couldn´t tell what she said.
"What did you say Hina-chan?"
"He told me to come to his house tonight." She said a bit louder. Temari´s and Tenten´s jaws dropped.
"He what?! Why?" They asked at the same time.
"He w-wants to talk about how we should practice and stuff." Slowly a smug grin appeared to Tenten´s and Temari´s faces.
"You and Itachi, alone in his house..." Tenten said and winked.
"Y-Yeah, so?" Hinata tilted her head to the side, not knowing what Tenten was trying to say.
"Oh geez Hinata! You two are all alone, so anything could happen! This is your chance to seduce him!" Temari exclaimed and poked Hinata on her forehead.
"W-What? S-Seduce him? N-No way!" Hinata stuttered and blushed dark crimson.
"Why not? He is handsome, he is a dancer and he is quite famous. He is perfect for you!" Tenten said it like it was a fact.
"T-That´s true, but I really don´t care about those things..." Hinata muttered.
"Oh really? Then what kind do you want your guy to be?" Hinata blushed at Temari´s question.
"W-Well... He has to have a good sense of humor, and I don´t want him to be mean to me or my friends..." Hinata answered with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"What about his looks? Hair? Eyes?" Tenten wanted to know.
"I d-don´t care what he looks like. As long as he loves me it´s okay." Hinata said truthfully.
"It´s almost seven p.m. Shouldn´t you get going? Don´t keep your prince waiting!" Temari joked and Hinata´s eyes widened.
"You are right! I g-got to go now. Bye guys!" Hinata said before rushing out from the door.

Hinata stood nervously in the porch of medium sized house. She didn´t know should she ring the doorbell or just run away. She wasn´t very comfortable of being alone with a guy in a isolated house.
"Come on, you can do it." Hinata whispered to herself and lifted her hand do press the doorbell. She heard footsteps from the inside, coming closer and closer, increasing Hinata´s nervousness.
Soon the door opened and behind it was a black haired man, but he wasn´t Itachi. He was a couple inches shorter and he looked meanier than Itachi.
"Finally you are here." He growled and before Hinata was able to protest, the guy had pulled her in to a bruising kiss.

AN: Hmm, my leg is bleeding, but we don´t have any bandaids. Well, I´ll just wrap a pillowcase around it until the bleeding stops. Oh and this is the last update for now, since I simply can ´t take this heat anymore. I´m traveling to the North for a while and I will leave at Monday, and if I find time, I´ll update that DeiHina fic before I leave. I´ll be back before Midsummer Eve.
