Sorry for not updating sooner. I know it's summer and all that good food, but my updates might go a little slower because it is summer. Reason being, is because, this has become a "priority," if you will, and not something that distracts me from the stuff I'm supposed to be doing, like homework (I'm lazy, sorry). But I will update as much as I can.
Naruto? Yeah, I don't own him or the show...
"Oh, crabcake," Hinata grumbled as her alarm clock went off. Hinata got up and turned off her alarm clock and began her morning routine.
When she finished taking a shower and doing her hair up in a bun she left her apartment room to go down stairs.
She put her key in the ignition and drove off. She got to work at 7:25. She walked into the side door and clocked in. 'Hehe, I got here right on time,' she thought in joy.
"Hello, Sasori," he nodded in acknowledgement as he passed her. "Hello, Deida-"
"You!" Hinata was taken aback from his sudden outburst. "You made me go out with that beast that doesn't even know how to silence that trap of hers!" Deidara waved his hands in the air as he told her of every detail of the date. "...then I eventually had to leave the motor-mouth. Grr! I had to leave out of the bathroom window, un! Do you know how embarrassing that is?"
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't realize it was going to turn out bad. Actually, I thought you were only going to call her."
"Crap! Well, at first it was just a call," he mumbled, "but it doesn't matter! I'm still angry, un!"
"I-I'm really sorry!" Hinata bowed as she repeatedly apologized.
"Argh, stop bowing."
"I'm sor-"
"And stop apologizing." Hinata bit her lip to keep herself from apologizing again. "And if you see that crazy chick today, tell her I quit here and I moved away. Got that!"
"H-hai!"
"Hinata!" Hinata whipped her head in the direction of her name.
"M-Mr. Uchiha? May I help you?"
"Came see me in my office? Now."
"Y-yes sir." Hinata bowed her head as she passed Sasuke into his office. Hinata took a seat as Sasuke went to his seat behind the desk. "I-Is there something you wanted to tell me?"
"Yes. I have to make a home visit. I need you to come with me."
"I-I don't mean to be rude, but why exactly am I going? I'm just a-a receptionist."
"The person that I'm going to check up on is female. She has an abnormal fear of men, and the only way she would allow me to help her is if I had a female in our presence," he checked his watch. "Her appointment is at 9:00, so we should leave at about 8:30. Okay?"
"H-Hai."
Sasuke stood up and grabbed his white coat. Today he was wearing long-sleeved, navy colored shirt with a shallow v-neck and plain black pants.
Hinata openly gawked until he turned and raised an eyebrow at her. "You can leave now."
"O-Oh! I-I'm sorry." She stood up, bowed, then walked away.
The day had gone by slow before it got to 8:30. Surprising, to Hinata at least. 'I guess yesterday was just bad luck. Or maybe today is the off day.'
"Helloooo!," came a singsong voice. 'Oh, no! It's Miku!' Hinata looked at the clock - 8:24.
"Hello, Hinata. Have you seen my beloved Deidara? He went missing yesterday! I looked and looked and looked, but he was nowhere to be found. I just knew someone up-ducted him! I kept asking people if they had seen him, but I kept getting no's and weird looks."
"I-Is that so?" Hinata asked as she sweat-dropped.
"But like I was saying, HAVE YOU SEEN DEIDARA!" She immediately started to cry as if someone told her Deidara was really up-ducted and killed. Hinata got out from her desk and patted the girl on her back. "H-He isn't here at this moment. Maybe l-later?"
"Deidara. I need you to fill in for Hinata!," called Sasuke.
'Oh, no!'
Miku lifted her head out of her hands and looked at Hinata with a confused look. She then moved herself out of Hinata's reach and pointed at her dramatically. "You lied!"
"Uh," Hinata murmured as she clasped her hands in front of her.
"You lied! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I knew you were only being nice to make him like you more, and now you want him all to yourself! But I won't allow it!"
"Aah! I don't like being the freaking receptio-"
"Deidara, my love!" Miku yelled as she crashed into him. Deidara cried in pain after they fell to the ground. "Oh, Deidara! Did you know that Hinata was trying to steal you from me? I don't like that one bit! Tell her that we are an item!"
"No! You crazy, psycho, bitc-"
"No, no, no! We can't have bad language," she said as she cradled his whole face in her chest. "No bad language," she cooed as she rocked him back and forth.
"I camf breaf," came Deidara muffled voice.
"I can't breathe either, when you're not around Deidara! I. Can't. Live. Without you!" She began to cry big dramatic tears.
'Well then... Where's Sasuke?' As she thought that Sasuke walked into front room, with a jacket in hand.
"You don't mind riding with me, right?"
Hinata turned away from the strange sight to Sasuke. "No, I don't mind at all," she said with a smile. She turned back to Deidara and Miku. "Uum, you two be careful." She bowed and turned away.
The ride to the woman's house was quiet. Sasuke had a nice car. It didn't look excessively expensive, but it didn't look like it was cheap by any means. The exterior of the car was at metallic black and the interior was gray leather. Hinata sat quietly as she listened to the soft music on his radio. It sounded like elevator music.
"So how did you get in a job like your last one?"
Hinata looked at Sasuke with surprise. She didn't expect him to ask her about her last job. "Well, I worked up there because, at the time, it fit my working schedule."
"How do you know my old friend, Naruto?"
Hinata looked at him reluctantly. She didn't want to just bad mouth his friend. Then again, she would be just telling him everything she had already told Naruto to his face. "He used to be my boyfriend. We were really close. I loved him very much and considered our relationship serious." Hinata lowered her head in sadness. "One day he left me for some girl that he met online. She dumped him almost a week after actually meeting him in real life. He asked for me back, but I didn't want him back after he hurt me like that."
"That was a real jackass thing for him to do," he said with a frown. Hinata looked at him for a second before she nodded reluctantly. "What about that guy that was harassing you?"
'Why is he asking me about me?' "May I ask why you want to know?"
"I don't know. I was just trying to start a conversation."
Hinata looked out her window, watching the cars pass by. "Kiba, the guy who messes with me, is a son of a loan shark. My Dad has a bad gambling addiction, and he owed a lot of money, so he got it from a loan shark. I guess his son had a thing for me. He never left me alone after the first time we met. I've been trying to shake him off for a long time, but I can't afford moving around to different apartments every time he finds out where I'm living."
"You can't afford a different apartments? Yet you have all these jobs?"
"Most of the money doesn't go to me." Sasuke nodded, refraining from prying any further.
They made it to the house in silence. The house was very modest. Brown wooding around the house and green grass and bushes that were just below windows that were surrounded by red shutters.
"This is a nice home."
"Hn."
The two of them walked up the slightly long walkway until they reached the door. Sasuke knocked twice before the door cracked-opened abruptly. They could only see two eyes when she spoke. "A-are you the doctor?"
Sasuke nodded then the door opened a fraction bit more. The eyes landed on Hinata before opening all the way. It opened to a petite girl about Hinata's height. She had short, chocolate colored hair that was cut into a bob. She was wearing a gray-ish brown kimono and stood properly. "Come in, please."
The two walked in slowly, scanning the area around them. The inside of the hallway was painted navy-green with a couple pictures of family and friends. The hallway to the the designated room was long and narrow. It almost made Hinata and Sasuke a bit claustrophobic. They finally came into a room that was colored a deep shade of red. The room was filled with warm colors and felt homey.
"This is a nice home, miss-"
"Shizune."
"Miss Shizune."
"Where do you want me to start the check up?" Sasuke asked.
"R-r-r-right h-h-here i-in the l-l-living r-r-room." The woman started visibly shaking at Sasuke's present. Her eyes became wet with tears. The woman held herself and took deep breaths to control the fear and tremors going throughout her body. "P-please f-f-forg-give m-me." She said looking down at the ground in shame.
"It's okay, Miss Shizune," Sasuke replied. "I can work with you leaning on that sofa." Sasuke pointed to a one seated sofa. "But I will need you to lean on the highest point of your back."
Shizune sat in front of the sofa and did as Sasuke said, pulled up her kimono, then spread her legs.
Hinata gasped at the woman action. 'What is she doing! I thought she was afraid of men and now she opening her legs to him?' Hinata thought with her mouth agape. Sasuke looked at her with a questioning expression. 'Just smile, Hinata. Make him think you're not freaking out and you know what he's doing," she thought to herself.
Sasuke put on his gloves and started probing around. 'How gross!' Shizune was clenching her teeth and the edge in her kimono. "Can you calm down Miss Shizune. It's hard to do this when you're shaking... And clenching."
"I-I-I'm s-sorry."
Hinata walked over to the poor, terrified woman. "Just look at me. Okay? Forget he's here." The woman looked at her with big frightened eyes. She shook her head in agreement. Hinata started small talk about generic stuff. The woman followed along in the conversation and putting her input every now and then.
"I'm done," Sasuke said. He pulled off his gloves and threw them in the nearest trash. Shizune stood up and pulled her kimono down.
"Thank you, Hinata. I thought I wasn't going to be able to get through my check-up."
"It's f-fine. You looked really scared."
Shizune turned to Sasuke and bowed. "I-I'm sorry for a-a-acting the w-w-way I d-did."
"It's fine. I understand your condition. I'll need you to come to my office next time, for your first trimester."
"I understand," Shizune said as she hung her head in shame.
Hinata blinked confused about what had just transgressed, but decided to keep quiet.
"Let's leave, Hinata." Sasuke bowed the woman, Hinata following suit, and turned to leave.
"I hate to be nosy, but I think y-you know why she's afraid of men."
Sasuke side glanced her then put his eyes back on the road. "She was raped recently. Ever since that happened she's had fear towards men. Luckily, for that soon-to-be baby, she decided not to have an abortion."
"Why didn't she get a female doctor to check her up instead?"
Sasuke stayed quiet for a few moments before he responded. "I have to be honest, I don't really know."
"Aaaaaaah!," deep breath. "Aaaaaaaaah!"
"M-Miku? What are you doing outside?" Hinata inquired.
"Deidara kicked me oooouuutt! He said that I'm a nuisance!" She wailed once more. "I don't even know what that means!"
Hinata sweat-dropped and walked past the crying (crazy) female. "I'm sorry, Miku. I don't think I can help you."
"Why! I love him so much! How can you keep love separated! Huh?"
"Will you go away? You've been sitting here, crying, for the past half-hour! Go home!" Deidara appeared and picked Miku up, much to her delight and dismay, and took her to a taxi that was probably called by him.
"Deidara! Please don't make me go, Deidara, my love. Please! Please, Deidara! I love you!"
"No! I'm tired of you coming to my job and harassing me, un! It's annoying!"
She was sitting in the taxi ready to say more but the car door was closed before she could say one more thing. He looked inside the taxi's front seat window and told him the destination in which she was to go, then he handed the driver 3 hundred dollar bills. "No matter what she does, do not come back! Take her where she's supposed to go."
The taxi driver nodded his head and drove off.
Hinata thought bitterly to herself, 'I wish I could've done that.'
Hinata was clocking out when Sasuke came up to her with an odd question. "Where is that job that you work at last located?"
"U-um, it located on the 41st floor of Shiodome City Centre Diner. It's called D4."
"I've heard of that place. Doesn't it serve Italian, Japanese, and Chinese?"
"Yes it does. I've never tasted the food because they dock your pay for what you eat from there, so I can't say whether it's good or not, but it smells nice," she said with a grin.
"I might visit. It sounds really nice."
"W-wait! You have to have at least a week's reservation."
"Hm, I'll figure out something."
Hinata stared questioning at the male, but didn't ask questions.
"Ms. Hyuuga, there's a man here asking for you. He's sitting at table eleven with another man," said TenTen Cho, her co-worker.
"T-thank you, TenTen." TenTen flashed her a smile with a glint in her eyes.
'Okaaay..."
Hinata walked into the dining area walking towards the area that had table eleven. 'Did Kiba finally get into here? Oh, I hope that didn't happened. But, it could be...'
"Sasuke?," she said as she walked upon the table. There was another man with his hair pulled back into a ponytail. She couldn't see his face, because he was sitting with his back to her. "The man in front of me is my brother, Itachi."
Said man turned around to face Hinata. Hinata's legs almost gave out on her when she saw his face. 'He's... He's beautiful. Painfully beautiful.'
He reached his hand out to Hinata and she could barely function, but she managed to reach her hands into his. He took her hand and kissed it softly as he stared her in the eyes. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Hyuuga."
'His hands are so soft. His skin is so perfect. His... His everything is just great,' she thought as she blushed.
"I-I-It's n-nice to m-meet you too."
A cough was heard and the two looked back at Sasuke who looked slightly put off. "It would be great if you didn't flirt with my employee."
"I wasn't flirting, I was simply being nice."
Hinata shook off her daze from being kissed (on her hand, but still...) by Itachi. "H-How did you get in here? It usually takes a while to get in, depending on the time of year."
"I just asked." (Meanwhile, there's a blushing girl at the front door). "Anyway, how much longer do you have until you get off?"
"I get off at 12:30, so I get off in about an hour and twenty minutes."
"That's enough time for us to order and eat," commented Itachi. 'His voice is so velvety...," Hinata thought dazedly.
"Huh?" Hinata was slightly confused. Why would they stay at her job for her? 'Oh, well...' "Well, I have to get back to work now. Can't be slacking off," she said with an awkward giggle as she walked away.
Hinata got back to work, but it wasn't much. They had a performer that night so she didn't have to play that much, since she didn't know the material and the woman singing already had a preferred pianist.
After about fifty minutes of her singing, the woman bowed and left the stage. Hinata had to play the piano for a little less than 30 minutes before she started getting ready to leave. She was about to leave the entrance to the door before someone called her name.
"Huh?"
"Don't tell me you forgot me already."
"O-oh. I'm sorry, Sasuke. It's been a long night."
"That's fine."
"Um, w-where's Itachi?"
"He had some business to attend to, so he had to leave, but I thought maybe I could walk you to your car."
'Why does he want to go to my house?'
"I like to get to know my employee. That's all."
"W-Well, I guess that's fine."
They both left the restaurant and headed for the elevator.
As they waited to get a the bottom floor, they conversed about her job.
"That looks like a well-paying job."
"It is. I get paid about 20 dollars an hour. I usually work up here from 8 to 12:30. Everyday they're open I go here, but if they don't open I don't have to go, but I do usually have to work up there every day. So my pay is usually $770 a week."
"Wow. That's great. I would think you could just live off that."
"Well, I don't, that money doesn't even go to my bank. Half of the money I get goes to the debt my father left for me to pay."
"Your dad is dead?"
"No. My mom is though," she laughed bitterly to herself. "Our family used to be very prestigious. We had money to spare, but when my mom died, my father fell apart. He spent a great amount of money on her funeral and after that he became an alcoholic and started gambling. I have a sister named Hanabi. She was taken from my father about a year after my mom died. She lives with some of our family in Honshu. That drove my dad deeper into depression. He eventually got put in jail. Apparently, one day he went to a store and tried to steal. It was idiotic."
"That's very sad."
"Yeah, ever since then, I've been trying to pay back that debt. I've barely put a dent in it."
They stood there in awkward silence as they waited to get to the bottom of the building.
When they got to the bottom they both walked out of the building and walked to their cars. Oddly enough, they were parked next to each other.
"It was nice talking to you, Sasuke. I've been wanted to talk about it for a while, but... I didn't know who to talk to it about."
"I didn't mind it. It was great talking to you."
Hinata smile at him and then got into her car. "See you tomorrow," she called.
She didn't get to see it, but Sasuke flashed her a smile.
This chapter was more of a "what happened to Hinata in her past." Sorry if it sucked. And yes, Sasuke is also an OBGYN. I know, I know. Weird. And for those who like My Lovely Stalker, it won't be updated for a long time. Sorry. My mom turned off the internet (again) and this one was the only story I could do. I suck I'm sorry.
OMGlob :D
