He almost cried. Almost. He hadn't meant to make her feel that way, and his main priority right then and there was to escape without being seen by her. It was painfully obvious to him that she was singing about him, and it actually hurt him to see her crying. How was he supposed to know his ex-girlfriend would audition for the show his best friend would be judging for? The poor girl couldn't even speak without choking on her sobs. Heartbreak was no laughing matter, and he understood that — he had been through it with Sasuke's current fiancé.

The ever beautiful Sakura Haruno didn't deserve his best friend. She was a lying manipulative bitch, and he fucking hated her. Naruto ground his teeth at the thought of the pink haired pop singer. But then maybe he got what he deserved for what he had done to Hinata only a few years after his breakup with Sakura. Come to think of it, he had done to Hinata exactly what Sakura had done to him. He never let Sasuke know that. He didn't need the man in any more scandals — especially not one of him hitting a woman. Naruto knew that although Sasuke was mad at him now for his infidelity, he would forgive him with time.

Something was off about him though. Sasuke never spoke with such kindness in his voice to anyone. There were the occasions where he spoke in such a way to Naruto, but that was only for days like Naruto's mother's death anniversary. A ball of doom developed in the pit of his stomach at the thought that maybe his best friend had miraculously fallen for Hinata. He knew Sasuke better than maybe Sasuke knew himself, and the only other time he spoke like that to a woman was on the day of Itachi's wedding to his wife-to-be — Itachi's very pregnant wife-to-be. It had been obvious to both Itachi and Naruto that Sasuke was in love with Chika Koizumi. The woman was five years his senior, and was his brother's wife, but Sasuke's feelings never wavered. Sasuke's first love was short lived after the accident that happened not so long ago — the same accident that put Sasuke on a seemingly indefinite hiatus.

Shion leaned her head on Naruto's shoulder and sighed. "That was beautiful, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, she was great." Naruto said, masking his uneasiness. Shion had no idea Hinata was his ex. If she had known he was seeing her at the same time as her, he would have been left with neither pale eyed female. Only Sasuke knew about his relationship with Hinata though Sasuke had never personally met Hinata.

Naruto wasn't jealous. No, he was ecstatic that his best friend was getting out there again. Sasuke could finally break off the silly engagement with Sakura, and move on from Chika. The only reason Sasuke was with Sakura was because she was the only woman brave enough to truly try and pursue the Uchiha. The woman was completely insane as Naruto tried so desperately to warn him, but Sasuke was clearly just filling the gap in his heart that was left when Itachi married Chika. Naruto Namikaze was one hundred percent behind Sasuke on this one. He was not jealous whatsoever that Sasuke would get to eat all of Hinata's delicious lunches, or that he would get to see her smiling face on the days he decided to stay over at her place, or that Sasuke would get to kiss her cute face, or that Sasuke would get to hear her tell him how much she loves him. Jealous? Him? No, he was…

"Babe, you okay?" Naruto looked at Shion who gazed at him with worry.

Right, he was the one who chose to travel down this path. It was his fault, he wasn't allowed to feel anything but guilty for hurting the innocent, sweet, caring, adorable, and "Perfect." he muttered.

"Ready to go? I thought you wanted to see Sasuke before we left." Shion said, lacing her fingers with his.

"Nah, I'm okay. I'll visit him later or something."

Sakura however wasn't feeling so nice. Stomping down from her seat to her fiancé, she grabbed his shoulder, pulling him from the conversation he was having with Sasori.

"What the hell was that?" she hissed.

"What do you want, Sakura." Sasuke deadpanned.

"I want to know what your relationship is with that blind girl."

"She isn't blind."

"I don't care."

"We don't have a relationship. We just met." Sakura wasn't buying it. "What do you want me to say? You want the truth, and yet here you are waiting for me to lie to you."

"Let me remind you that you have a fiancée, hear that Sasuke Uchiha? You can't just talk to girls with that tone when you don't even speak to me with that tone." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Are you done?" Sakura crossed her arms and nodded. "Okay, then let me remind you, Sakura Haruno, that I am not your property. I don't take orders from anybody, especially not you. I can speak to whomever, however I want. If you want to get married to me ever, stay out of my business."

With that said, Sasuke turned around and went to talk to Hinata who was giving Mei a hug — she was apparently a huge fan of her.

It took her six months to get him to notice her. Wasn't it usually supposed to be the man to court the woman? Well clearly not to Sasuke. She primped and pampered herself so that she could stay beautiful for him. In last year's top fifty sexiest Asian women, she was number eleven. She was top of her class, and graduated college before she became a full fledged super star. She worked hard to get where she was. She got whatever she wanted whenever she wanted it. The only thing she had to truly work for after fame was Sasuke Uchiha. He wasn't even all that great of a guy. Sure he bought her gifts, and took her out on dates, but the guy was devoid of any sentimental emotion for anyone but Naruto, Itachi, and Itachi's wife and child. Why couldn't she be one of those people? What made Hinata stinking Hyuga so fucking special that she got Sasuke's sweet side?

At the mention of Naruto, she watched as he left the auditorium with that heiress he was currently dating. So maybe her relationshit with Sasuke was karma for cheating on Naruto, then immediately moving on with his best friend. How was it at all her fault that the entire Japanese male population wanted to get at her? So maybe she had been caught in a compromising position with a guy once by Naruto, but he was an idiot for clinging to her after it. It was his fault for not knocking first and entering her home as if it was his own — well they were living together at the time but technicalities shmechnicalities — only to find her in another compromising position between two men. It was his fault for being sexually unsatisfying anyways.

Sakura glared at Hinata intensely as if her staring would blow the girl's head up into a million pieces. Striding over to where Sasuke and Hinata were, she wrapped her arms around Sasuke's waist.

"I'm sorry, hubby." she mumbled against his shoulder. "Oh, I didn't even see you there sweetie. You're Hinana right?"

"Hinata…" the meek girl corrected quietly.

"Right. Anyways, hubby, are we still up for dinner tonight?" Sasuke's eye twitched, and Hinata resisted the urge to laugh at his hilarious expression. "I was thinking of Italian tonight."

Did she really just call him hubby and try to play it off as if it was acceptable? "We never made dinner plans. I was going to go to dinner with all the teams and mentors."

"Oh, I'd be glad to join you guys!"

"No one invited you." Sasori chided in.

"Shut up, Sasori. No one asked you." Sakura snapped.

"You still aren't invited." Sakura glared at him as he walked away.

"Oh hubby are we going in the same car tonight? Do I need to change?" she asked Sasuke, batting her long eyelashes.

"Sasori said you aren't invited, Billboard Brow." Sakura tensed at the familiar voice of her ex-best friend. "Hey bestie how've you been?"

"Pig." Sakura greeted.

Ino ignored her and turned to Hinata. "Oh my flipping gee. Hinata right? I'm Ino, and can I just say you were fan-fucking-tastic a-fucking-mazing and just mind fucking blowing. I was crying. I just went to the bathroom to fix my makeup because girl, you messed my insides up with all those feels."

Hinata was taken aback by the long winded compliment. "Um, th-thank you."

"No prob. You're coming to dinner right? We should totally sit together. See ya!"

"She's so annoying." Sakura sneered.

"I think she's nice." Hinata said.

"Well you know what, sweetie pie? No one cares what you think." Hinata shrank into herself at Sakura's jeers. "Do not cut me off, ever. Don't think you're ahead of anyone just because you had one good performance, got ti newbie? Let me tell you, when it comes down to it, you're going to need looks and talent. You've got some talent, and you're rather plain looking, so good luck getting through this competition. Don't embarrass my hubby."

"That's it." Sasuke shoved Sakura off of him. "I am not your hubby. Stop calling me that. Just because you got by this competition relying on your appearance doesn't mean this is all about looks. Shut your face for two seconds would you? I finally leave my loft and I get bombarded by paparazzi and your annoying ass. I'm done. The engagement is done. Don't come to dinner."

"Sasuke, you have got to be kidding me." Sakura said disbelievingly. "You can't just end it like that!"

"You're right, I can't." Before Sakura could even feel the slightest bit relieved, Sasuke pulled out his phone. "Kakashi? Yeah. Tell the press that I've called off my engagement with Sakura. Why? You want the truth or some bullshit to maintain my image…okay whatever, I'll let you handle it then."

Sasuke turned to the astonished pinkette. "Now I've ended it properly."

"This is your fault." Sakura yelled at Hinata, drawing the attention of everyone left in the auditorium. "What have you done to deserve special treatment?"

Hinata was confused. She didn't do anything at all. Why was she in the middle of the couple's problems? "I didn't do anything though…"

"I know you didn't do anything which is why you don't deserve all the fucking praise you get!" She raised her hand to hit Hinata only to get her hand grabbed by a large warm hand.

"Hey, I don't know what's going on here but you shouldn't fling your bony fists at random girls who haven't done a thing to you, lady."

"Who the hell are you?" Sakura growled.

"Kiba Inuzuka, and who the hell are you? I don't remember seeing you at the auditions — it's hard to miss pink hair." he said, letting go of her hand.

"You don't know me?" Sakura was shocked. Did this guy live under a rock or something? "Freak the Freak Out, Leave it All to Shine, nothing?"

"If you're a musician, I'm sorry but I don't listen to pop and all that stuff." he said awkwardly. "More of an underground type. Hate to sound like a hipster but I liked Kyuubi before they were mainstream. Back to my point, I think you should leave."

"You can't order me around!" Sakura yelled, raising her hand again.

"See, there you go again, flailing those scrawny arms of yours." Kiba mumbled.

"I'm sorry about whatever I did to you, Sakura but I really must go now, I'm late." Hinata said with a bow. "See you later, Kiba, Sasuke."

"Tell your agent that the engagement is off. See you around." Sasuke walked away in Hinata's direction.


"Start dammit…" Hinata groaned. She hit her head against her steering wheel and sighed.

Knock Knock

Hinata looked up and saw Sasuke's handsome face staring at her through the glass. Rolling down the window, she braced herself for embarrassment. From what she knew of Sasuke Uchiha, he was a ruthless man. He was probably there to ridicule the death trap she called a car, or ridicule her for looking stupid.

"Need a ride?" Hinata winced. Wait, what?

"P-pardon?" Sasuke chuckled lightly at her expression.

"Did you need a ride home to get changed? I could drop you off." Sasuke offered.

"Well if you could just drop me off at the Konoha Central Hospital, that would be great. I'll just bus around from there." she said, flustered that the gorgeous singer would go out of his way to drive her.

Sasuke just nodded and lead Hinata to his black Audi R8. He opened the door for her, causing a blush to form on her pale cheeks.

"So why are you going to the hospital? If you don't mind my asking?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm visiting someone." It was strange that he would ask something so personal. It's as if he was trying to get to know her better, not that she minded. He just broke his engagement. How was he not at all fazed? "I'm sorry about your engagement."

"I've been meaning to end it anyways." Sasuke explained. "She's pretty annoying."

Hinata didn't say anything. She couldn't disagree with him — she just met Sakura and the singer didn't exactly leave a good impression on her. Still, he was rather harsh to her.

At the hospital, Sasuke drove to the front and got out to open the door for Hinata — he was surprising himself, he wasn't exactly the gallant type. "The weather's pretty gross, I could just wait for you and drive you around. I don't mind. I'd rathe not go back to my place anyways. Kakashi's probably there waiting to rip my throat out."

"It's alright really, it might take a while."

"Would you mind if I went up with you then?" Hinata's eyes widened. "Unless this is really personal." Sasuke quickly added.

"No, well if you want to come you could. My sister is a huge fan of yours." Ah so it was her sister. She probably broke her leg walking down the shopping mall escalator or something.

"Hn. Wait here, I'll go park."


Nurses slapped each other at the sight of the Uchiha. They were clearly fan girls.

"Quite popular aren't you?" Hinata giggled.

"Are you not a fan?" Sasuke asked, quirking his brow.

"You have a nice voice." Hinata noted. "I don't know, I'm not a huge fan I guess but I enjoy some of your music." she said truthfully.

They went down the hall to the only open door. Hinata knocked on the door and entered.

"Hina, is that you?" asked the girl on the bed. Sasuke noted she looked a lot like Hinata only younger. She slid off the bed and held onto the table next to her. Her eyes were strikingly pale like Hinata's, but her hair was a thick dark chocolate curtain that kept falling in her face. "Dammit, I need to get this shit cut."

"Hanabi, sit down!" Hinata rushed to her sister while Sasuke stayed just outside the door observing the two. Hanabi, Sasuke noted, was quite tall unlike Hinata who seemed minuscule compared to just about everyone. He was surprised that Hanabi hadn't noticed him yet.

"You did so great today! I hope that idiot heard your song and bawled!" Hanabi cackled. "I can't believe you're on Sasuke Uchiha's team!"

"Thanks, Hana." Hinata said softly. "I have a surprise for you!"

"Really?" Hanabi beamed.

Hinata motioned for Sasuke to come in. "Don't get too excited alright?"

"Hina, I'm fine!" She looked fine to Sasuke. Hinata on the other hand was always a little too careful with her sister. "Gimme gimme!"

"Hana, I'd like you to meet Sasuke Uchiha." Hanabi's jaw dropped.

"Uh, hi Hanabi." Sasuke said.

"Can I…touch you?" What…? "Please? Please?"

"Sure…" he held out his hand for her but she stayed still. Hinata took her hand and lead it to Sasuke's. It hit Sasuke when the girl felt for his shoulder to his face to gently touch the sharp angles of his face, and softness of his skin, that she was blind. He loosened up and let her feel up his face as silent tears fell from her sightless eyes.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Hanabi sniffled. "This is the best surprise you could ever possibly give me!"

Hinata smiled, as did Sasuke. To Hinata's surprise. She thought he was a relatively emotionless rock. "Sasuke Uchiha is smiling at me!" Hanabi squealed, tracing his lips. Her childish mirth hurt him as it reminded him of his nephew, Yuuta.

"Alright, Hana, that's enough." Hinata laughed.

"Sing a song for me, please!"

"Hanabi Hyuga, that's quite enough!" Hinata scolded.

"No, it's quite alright, Hinata." Sasuke said with the soft voice he had used with her after her performance. "Ahem."

Hanabi sat cross legged on her bed eagerly awaiting a song from her favourite musician.

I don't want nobody else. Without you, there's no one left, and you're like Jordans on Saturday, I gotta have you and I cannot wait now. Hey! Little shawty, say you care for me, you know I care for you, you know that I'll be true, you know that I won't lie, you know that I would try, to be your everything, yeah. 'Cause if I got you, I don't need money, I don't need cars, girl, you're my all. And…

Oh! I'm into you, and girl, no one else would do. 'Cause with every kiss and every hug, you make me fall in love. And now I know I can't be the only one, I bet there heart's all over the world tonight, with the love of their life who feels what I feel when I'm...

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you.

Hanabi clapped happily clasping her hands over her mouth as tears fell once more from her eyes. "I got serenaded by Sasuke Uchiha!" she sobbed into her hands. "This is by far the best day of my life." she concluded, falling against her bed, sprawled out and content.

"Well, we best be heading out now, Hinata." Sasuke said.

"It was an honour to meet you, Sasuke!" Hanabi said exasperatedly.

"Same to you, Hanabi." Hanabi smiled in the direction which she thought he was according to his voice.

"See you tomorrow, Hana." Hinata hugged her sister. Hanabi held her arms out waiting. Hinata looked at Sasuke, and Sasuke looked at Hinata. Hinata shrugged and smiled a smile that stopped Sasuke's heart. He went over and hugged Hanabi gently almost as if he would shatter her if he hugged her too hard, she on the other hand held onto him as tight as she could. "Alright, alright, time to go!"

"Bye guys! Close the door, please!" They left and closed the door, peering through the window, they watched as Hanabi screamed into her pillow and thrashed in happiness. Hinata muffled her laughter with her hands and walked away with Sasuke following behind her.


YoooOoOoOOooooOOOOOO

D'aww, the fluff doe! Sasuke is a weak man for the woman he loves! Amirite or amirite?

Not much to say other than I told you I would keep the Sakura bit short. I just need to introduce her as a character in this story. Again, as I stress in my other stories. Yes, she is super bitch but super bitch doesn't mean she sucks at life. A good antagonist has to be sneaky and clever. She wouldn't be a very exciting shit disturber if she wasn't good at it.

OH HANABI BBG I LOVE YOU! I was all emotional writing this 'cause I could only imagine Hanabi as this little blind girl even if she's technically sixteen already! I broke my own heart, cry cry.
