Chapter 4
Hinata was feeling good , she had covered all the basics, the food looked perfect she had chosen traditional Japanese as the theme, drinks were ready to be served everyone's favorite, she was prepared for anything .She looked once again at the seating arrangements " Hinata everything looks perfect"
" Arigato, Otou sama I am glad"
"When will they be coming"?
"In an hour or so, Otou sama excuse me but I need to change "
"Hinata?" "Hai Otou sama" "Everything looks perfect I am impressed and in case I forget very proud"
Hiashi looked pretty shocked when Hinata flung herself at him and hugged him "Thank you" he heard her whisper before she ran up the stairs.
Gaara couldn't believe it his mother would bite his head off if he was late, he was already dressed in a black suit with a crisp white shirt and black tie
"I am so sorry Gaara kun ill be ready in five minutes". He settled himself on his couch he knew she would take at least half an hour. He switched on the news; he couldn't pay attention to what the news anchor was telling not that he wanted too they were currently giving a detailed account about Uchiha brother's love life
He wanted out, he had thought long and hard about it but Haruno Sakura no longer was needed in his life, it was fine before, they usually went out had a good time, the sex was good but lately she started hinting that she was interested in actually committing themselves to each other .At first it was subtle she would gaze longingly at families enjoying themselves in the park but lately it was getting harder, she would rant on and on about how they were constantly seeing each other, that they weren't getting any younger. Seriously other than sex he had absolutely no use for her.
"I am ready Gaara kun". He spared her a glance, she looked fine "Let's go. We are already late"
"Are we going to your parent's place"?
"No, its out of the way we are directly going to Hyuga mansion" They got into his black jaguar-xf .As he drove he couldn't help but wish this night would end soon he highly doubted he could go through with any more of her gossiping, seriously why was her voice so shrill.
Hinata started humming as she slipped into a simple black strapless gown it was elegant but not too over the top, she reached into her bag and gently pulled out a small jewelry box. Inside the box lay a tiny pendent carved exquisitely to represent the Hyuga symbol, the earrings were studs also looking like the hyuga flame, the entire set was done in platinum and diamonds .She steeped into four inch stilettos which had an ankle strap .She applied some mascara and eyeliner she chose gray eye shadow to complete the sooty look, she was applying her make up when Hanabi her sister came barging through the door.
Hanabi was dressed in a blue baby doll dress, she had left her shoulder length hair loose on one side it was pulled back with a sapphire set clip, she wore ballerina flats, her sister did not need the extra inches heels provided being five nine and all .She would have looked perfect if not for the scowl on her face.
"Hanabi chan Why so upset?" "This is stupid why does Otou sama have to merge with anyone they will ruin the company family matters must be kept within the family what happened to all that 'Hyuga' pride that the old farts had"
"My little firecracker language, I thought you said it was a good idea". Her sister started mumbling something she couldnt quite catch but she distinctly heard the words Kona-kun and stupid parties. "Hanabi chan if you wanted to spend time with Konohamaru kun you should have invited him"
"That baka is so scared of Neji nii san and Otou sama he dint even make an excuse he flat out said he wouldn't come here without hiring at least twenty bodyguards"Hinata rolled her eyes as Hanabi continued pointing out more instances of cowardice exhibited by her boyfriend.
"Hina nee chan you should change, bad enough you were blessed with D cups you don't have to go around emphasizing it"
"Shut up Hanabi and they aren't that big" " I still don't think you should wear that there is that pervert coming after all, he is more in the news for screwing his co stars than for appearing in those loser plays"
"Hanabi, Kankuro kun is very sweet and please don't insult him or his family "
"Fine, but I do so in protest" Hanabi huffed. "Oh and Hanabi chan that doesn't mean you can insult our family"
"Hina nee chan don't be so cruel"
Neji was sitting in the living room, he really wished he was in his house he had just returned from his trip and was tired but his uncle had insisted he had to come, even if he hadn't insisted Neji knew he had to, after all he was second in command and would be taking over in the next year or so. He may be twenty six but as he glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall he knew he looked older, long hair tied at the nape, typical Hyuga eyes with dark circles under them , at least his body was in tip top condition.
He glanced over to his wife who was right now in a conversation with his uncle about her latest appointment with her gynecologist, it was amazing how his cold stoic uncle could get so excited, he was genuinely happy seeing his wife pregnant, apparently he had been waiting ages for his grandchild, it was humbling to know that his uncle thought of him as his own son.
His attention drifted to Hyuga Nami his wife, she was glowing, motherhood seemed to suit her, she was heavily pregnant, and she had just crossed seven months. She was of average height with soft black hair and pale blue eyes full red lips that was pulled into a smile her facial features seemed to scream good breeding, she was beautiful, and he loved her to death. She was demure matching perfectly to his stoic nature but there was always an underlying mischief that she seemed to possess, all those years of drama trying to find the perfect person was worth it, he wouldn't change a thing. She made him happy made him forget about work,she loved him for him he was her husband ,her confidant his best friend as she to him .
Hinata calmly walked into the living room, while her sister practically stomped towards the settee. "Nami chan, how are you how is the baby?"
"Fine Hina chan the baby is coming all fine, you look great by the way you know what would look better if you had a date, you know some guy who would satisfy you emotional and physical needs …."Nami and Hinata looked at Hiashi and Nej both who seemed scandalized hearing of Hinata's physical needs . Both burst out laughing, " Seriously you guys are too easy"
"I have someone who satisfies my physical needs and he refuses to come because of you two," Hanabi said glaring accusingly at her father and Neji
"I knew it, that stupid boy the moment I get my hands on him I will kill him"
"Shut up Neji and sit down" said Nami "you will do no such thing Konahamaru is a very sweet boy"
The conversation was going to get ugly as Hinata was pretty sure Neji had at least twenty reasons at the tip of his tongue as to why Hanabi's boyfriend was not sweet, Thankfully the conversation was interrupted with the ringing of the door bell, it seemed the Sabaku's had arrived.
Karura couldn't believe that Gaara actually bought his hussy with him, Sakura was dressed in a floor length red gown the neckline too low for her liking pink hair left hanging and jade eyes, she grudgingly admitted Sakura was pretty but she lacked personality and tact, she pretty much lost you interest in the first five minutes, she constantly talked about herself and loved partying in Karura's eyes not the ideal match for her son.
As Sakura passed her she wondered if the girl ate anything she looked like a stick.
Gaara had arrived five minutes after they had, she was glad he caught up with them; they would walk in as a family. "Gaara its good to see you, you should come over more, you're working too hard, Rai you should send him home early his dark circles are getting worse"
Raidon smiled at his wife "you heard her Gaara no more late nights for you"
"Whatever Tou san". He leaned towards his father and whispered "Don't make fun of me or should I tell Kaa san of the cigarette packet you keep hidden in your office or of all the pastries you eat before going back home, kaa san might not be pleased if she finds out you haven't been following your diet"
"Fine, I wont make fun of you, happy, just don't tell Karura"
"Tell me what?"
"Nothing saiai absolutely nothing"
Hinata got up and told her father she would get the door, she had dismissed all the Hyuga servants, she wanted Hyuga mansion to seem like a home, she had asked only Chiko san the Hyuga butler to help serve food he had been with the Hyuga's for ages she could trust him completely.
She opened the door to greet the Sabaku's .She instantly recognized Sabaku Raidon and his wife Karura, they smiled warmly and greeted her. Temari leaped in and gave her a bear hug followed by Shikamaru who greeted her and pried the taller woman of her. Kankuro also gave her a hug. Finally Sabaku Gaara stepped in. The picture did no justice he was gorgeous, he was tall at least six two, red hair that was disheveled which added to the rebel look, gorgeous aquamarine eyes surrounded by dark circles, his suit outlined his perfect physique broad shoulder that tapered to a narrow waist .She looked at his forehead where to the left was a Kanji tattooed in red, symbolizing love, seriously could the guy get any sexier .As he shook her hand she felt a sharp electric current run through her and couldn't help the small blush from developing .He introduced his date Haruno Sakura the socialite , she felt the pang of jealousy as she watched his arm curl around Sakura's waist . She couldn't help it she had fallen bad for Gaara, could this night get any worse
Gaara watched as his family greeted the ex –heiress, he couldn't believe the wave of jealousy he felt as he watched his brother hug Hyuga Hinata. He was attracted to a lot of women but this was the first time he felt jealousy .He tried to rid himself of this feelings he was here to do business not get a date .She was beautiful gorgeous eyes covered with thick lashes perfectly shaped eyebrows, perfect nose hovering over full ruby lips, She was tiny even with heels and she had curves in all the right places. Her voice was soft barely above a whisper, he vaguely wondered if when she had sex, would she whisper or would she scream .He wanted to bang his head he was here at the Hyuga mansion having dirty thoughts about his hostess while his girlfriend was on his arm, really could this night get any worse
