Hinata stood in the kitchen looking around for anything chocolate. She had all the sweets in the world but there was no chocolate. After all the patronizing antics from Sakura all week she at least deserved some chocolate. Then it dawned on her, Neji and Hanabi were out and maybe they could stop and get her some. She sent Neji a text and settled for strawberry ice-cream, her second favorite after chocolate.
Before she could get comfortable on the couch to watch TV. there was a knock at her door. She sighed and opened the door to see Sasuke. He was dressed in a black tux and his hair was slicked back except for one single strand of hair hanging in the middle of his forehead. Her mouth dropped opened and she dropped her spoon. Why did he have to be so hot?
Sasuke cleared his throat. "I need a huge favor."
"If you're trying to sell me something forget it."
"No it's not that." He said. "I need you to be my date tonight for a party the Uchiha clan is planning."
Hinata opened her mouth to object, but he interrupted her. "I know this is at the last moment, but I didn't know it was mandatory for me to bring someone."
Hinata crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the doorway. "Go take Sakura. I bet she's dying to see you now."
Sasuke's face remained impassive. "Her time is up. She's no longer apart of my sexual life anymore."
Hinata stared at him. The more she got to know him the more he became a jerk. Was she really going to let herself be around someone like him? She preferred not but it made Sakura so mad to talk to him. So she would still hang around him.
"What do I have to wear Sasuke?"
"Anything, but make it quick. It starts in a hour."
Hinata threw up her hands. "That's just great Sasuke. Thanks a lot." She stepped aside. "Well come on in and I'll see what I can do. I just got out the shower so it shouldn't take as long. Consider yourself lucky." She said as she walked upstairs. She knew Sasuke was watching her.
It was forty minutes later when Hinata walked downstairs. She decided to go simple and wore a short, strapless white dress with gold stilettos and gold jewelry. She had applied some mascara, eyeliner and smoky eye shadow to her face which accented her pink lips. She also had decided to put her hair up in a loose but nice bun Sasuke had to do a double take when he saw her. He looked surprised to see her like this which was either a good thing or bad thing. Anyway, she didn't care, she knew she and Sasuke were going to be the sexiest ones there.
As they were walking down the sidewalk to the limo waiting for them, Neji and Hanabi were just returning.
"Omigosh Hinata you're so cute!" Hanabi squeaked. "Where are you going?"
"On a date with me." Sasuke answered for her.
Hanabi winked at Hinata. Hinata rolled her eyes and looked at Neji who was staring at her with mixed emotions. The one she could make out the most was lust and anger. Lots and lots of anger.
"It just came up Neji I swear." She whispered.
Neji placed his hand on her cheek and smiled. She knew it was forced.
"Just be careful Hinata."
"I will." She kissed his cheek and hopped into the limo with Sasuke.
"Oooo a kiss." Hanabi teased. "Will this seal the fate between you two?"
"Not if Sasuke gets to her first." Neji mumbled.
"A love triangle. I cant wait to see who wins."
Neji pinched her cheeks making her cry. "You and your little thoughts."
"Neji! Ow! Let go!"
Hinata was in awe when she arrived at a 3 storied mansion. It was surrounded by Japanese maples, rose gardens, and had a huge fountain in the front, but then again it was nowhere as big as her main estate.
"This is your house?"
Sasuke shook his head. "No, this is my brothers house."
Hinata looked at him. "Brothers? How many houses do you have?"
Sasuke smirked and lifted up three fingers. "Three. One for my brother and me, one for my father and mother, and one for all the other members in the clan."
Hinata looked back at the mansion. 'Father I think the Uchiha clan beat us on this one.'
Sasuke held out his hand when he opened the door. At least he had manners. Sasuke escorted her into the main ballroom where everyone was being held.
"Now attending the spring ball is Master Sasuke Uchiha and his date Lady Hinata Hyuuga." Someone announced.
"Ball?" Hinata hissed.
Sasuke smiled slightly. "Uh, yeah it's a ball."
"Why didn't you tell me that?"
"I thought you wouldn't want to go." He said.
Hinata said nothing else. He was correct after all, she wouldn't have come.
"Brother." Itachi walked up to him with his arms wide open.
"Itachi." Sasuke returned with cold disdain.
Itachi looked over at Hinata and bowed slightly. "Good evening Hinata. I didn't know you were going to attend tonight's ball."
Hinata curtsey. "Neither did I Itachi. Truthfully, I was just asked an hour ago."
Itachi shook his finger at Sasuke. "Now, now, Sasuke you know that's not the way to go."
Sasuke looked away. "I didn't even want to attend this stupid thing." He mumbled.
Itachi held out his hand to Hinata. "Lady Hinata would you like to dance?"
Hinata smiled and took his hand. "Sure."
"Can we please stop with the formality?"
Itachi cut his eyes at Sasuke. "You know that we must be on our best behavior when the clan is around Sasuke. Otherwise I wouldn't be so nice to you and give a damn about this stupid ball." He sighed. "Tonight was soba night at Deidara's." He whined and led Hinata to the middle of the floor where they began to dance.
Hinata kept her eyes locked in Itachi's the whole time. What was with the Uchiha clan and their gorgeous boys? Itachi looked exactly like Sasuke but slightly more mature and his hair was longer. He also had girly eyes which Hinata looked cute on him.
"So you're Hanabi's sister." He finally spoke.
"Yeah, that's me."
Itachi smiled. His eyes were serious though. "She tells me that you're better then me in karate."
Hinata laughed. "Don't listen to my crazy sister. She doesn't know what she's talking about."
Itachi on the other hand didn't find it funny. "On the contrary, she did know what she was talking about."
Hinata stopped laughing. 'Damnit Hanabi, sometimes you should keep your mouth shut.'
"That is why I would like to propose a challenge between us. We get 3 counts each." Itachi continued.
"Um, okay when is this exactly?"
"We can make it on Wednesday afternoon. That's when I come over to practice with Hanabi."
"…Okay?"
Itachi finally smiled. "Thank you very much."
"….You're welcome?" Hinata said unsure. "Oh by the way Itachi, who did you come with?"
Itachi sighed heavily. It sounded like he was regretting whoever he had taken. "The girl over there beside Sasuke."
Hinata looked over towards Sasuke's direction and suddenly felt sick to her stomach. Besides an annoyed Sasuke was the Sakura. Why the hell was she he now? Just when she thought she would have a day without seeing Sakura, she ends up being wherever she is.
"Why did you bring Sakura?" Hinata asked.
"I had no one else to bring." He answered. "I should've brought Temari."
"Gaara's sister."
"Yep."
Hinata watched Sasuke leave Sakura and walk over to them. He bowed his head respectfully. "Itachi please allow me to be with my date and take Sakura back." He hissed through his teeth. Hinata thought he must've not had known that Sakura was going to be there either.
Itachi handed over Hinata and kissed her on the cheek. "It was nice dancing with you." He smiled.
Hinata blushed. "You too, Itachi."
Sasuke didn't hesitate to pull her close to him. He wrapped his arm around her waist and his hand laid on her but making her gasp.
"Get your hand off my butt before I shove it up your ass." She growled.
Sasuke moved his hand up to her back. "Sorry, habit."
"Sasuke if I didn't like you I would call you a whore." She said bluntly.
Sasuke didn't seem phased by her comment. "That seems about right."
Hinata couldn't believe this guy. He wanted to be a whore? What was wrong with him?
"You want to be called a whore?"
Sasuke twirled her around and the brought her even closer to him that their face almost touched. Hinata knew she was blushing even though she tried hard not to.
"I don't care what people call me."
Hinata looked away annoyed. "Well if I were to date you, you would have to change your act."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow suddenly interested. "Is that so?"
"Yeah, that means you couldn't flirt with any other girl, you had to be respectful and try to make me happy, and you wouldn't pressure me to have sex."
"Those are pretty simple demands." He paused. "Then that means I have to become the perfect guy so I can be able to date you."
Hinata stared at him shocked. Sasuke smiled his best smile making her melt in his arms.
"You're so cute when you blush." He brushed his fingers across her cheek.
Hinata lowered her eyes. "Stop it Sasuke. I bet you say that to every girl."
Sasuke lifted her chin so that their eyes met again. "No…just you." He said and brought his lips upon hers. Hinata froze. Sasuke pulled away and laughed.
"You're definitely blushing now. Is it because you feel the same way about me?"
Hinata snapped out of her trance and rolled her eyes. "As if, I still think you're a jerk and a whore."
Sasuke winced. "Ouch. That hurts."
Hinata smiled and laid her head on his chest. Her actions surprised both her and Sasuke. Maybe she was falling for him. She looked over towards Sakura and saw her seething with rage. On Monday she was definitely going to get some time of challenge for her. Hinata winked at her. Sakura turned on her heels and stormed away towards the balcony. She had won round two.
