A/N: Hello World! I'm finally back with another chapter! I'm super happy to present chapter 4 to all of you. I hope you like it! I had such a hard time writing it for whatever reason. I don't know why I struggled so much, but just know that I struggled for all of you lovely people.

Speaking of lovely people I have some reviews to respond to:

Guest: I know! I didn't want to do that to her, but I thrive on dramatics plus Sasuke is so much hotter so I'm right behind you one that comment.

Hime23: Thank you so much for reviewing again! I'm so happy that I could clear up everything for you as well as answer your questions. It really is sad that Hinata has been placed in this situation. When I came up with the original concept I was a little distressed because I wasn't sure if it was too harsh or not, but I'm happy to see that this element of Hinata's past has been well received and I really do love all of your comments so thank you so much! Your reviews keep me alive, honestly.

Hope: I'm so pleased that you love it Thank you so much for your support and thank you for sharing it with me. I'll make sure to keep it going.

Amy-hume: I'm so glad you like the history I've given on the story. It makes me so pleased to hear that. I was actually worried that it wouldn't be good enough, but now that I know it's so well received I definitely feel for confident.

Guest: That would be a big NOPE lol. Hinata's family has no idea. I liked to play with the element of having an extremely traditional family and so I feel like this sort of thing is just Hinata's way of ensuring her happiness while also rebelling against the situation her family has put her into. There's no way she would tell them about this until she absolutely has to.

Guest: Thank you so much for your review. That was so sweet of you to say and it really makes me so happy. I'm truly pleased to hear it. I'll keep my end of the deal and keep it as unique as possible.

Cat: I'm glad you like it! Thank you for taking the time to review and thank you for your nice comments. I really appreciate it.

A/N: So you guys are my solid rocks as always. Thank you so much for the continued support. I love all the reviews as well as the follows and favorites. I will do my best a keep updating for all of you. I think that I'd like to start the schedule for posting this story. I want to say that from now on I will be posting this story every three days. So I will Post/ Break/Break/Break/ Post and so on.

So now I'm done rambling and being silly.

So without further ado I present to you:

Chapter Four: Memories of Sasuke

The Hyuga Complex/ June 4th , 2015 at 8:00AM

Hinata had finally decided. God really must have had it out for her. He must have created her simply to torment her for her entire life out of some perverse and undetermined need.

Neiji would tell her that she was being dramatic by saying this, but there had to at least be some partial truth to this. First her fiancé knocked up her sister, then her best friend had to marry into literally one of the worst families that Hinata knew, and now this.

The family that she pined after. All of her desires had just gone out the window.

Hinata sat on the toilet in her bathrobe. It was the morning before Ino and Itachi's engagement party and initially Hinata had been thoroughly thrilled. She knew that this evening would be full of laughs and fun and it would've just been made exceedingly better had her pregnancy test come up positive.

But it wasn't. Her test sat in her grasp as she stared at it forlornly, willing it to change from negative to positive, but it made no sign of changing. There was sense in taking another test and maybe another to satiate herself, but there was another part of Hinata that was scared of more negatives. She didn't know if she would be able to handle if she didn't get the answer she longed for. So she elected to wait until she had a follow up appointment where a professional could tell her all the answers she wanted to know.

Hinata sighed heavily and gently placed her test in the trash. She knew that today was going to be an awfully long day.

Ino and Itachi's Engagement Party June 4th, 2015 at 6:00PM

This doesn't make sense, thought Hinata while her face contorted in woe. God absolutely despises me.

Not being positive that she was pregnant like she wanted had proven to be a completely negative note that rung out and destroyed the pitch of whatever Hinata's day had hoped to be. However that wasn't the only thing that soured her mood.

Sasuke Uchiha. The Sasuke Uchiha was here at this party, in all of his infamous glory, but none of it showed as he was dressed up nicely by his family with a silver flask in hand to keep him satisfied for the evening. Hinata knew that Sasuke couldn't stand her. He had made that clearly evident in school when they attended together around six years ago.

Hinata had done everything she could to be his friend, she knew they had friends in common so she wanted to at least be friendly, but Sasuke always refused to speak to her and kept her at arms length. He must have hated her with all his might.

The only issue was that Hinata had never found out the reason for this and after six years it was even more awkward to have him here in the same room as her. She had tried her best to forget what his face looked like.

She had done a good job too. Hinata had done everything humanly possible to try to ignore and blot out this man's existence. She rarely, if ever, saw him in public so she could escape that predicament. She also made a point to avoid looking at any magazine cover his face was on. If Sasuke even so happened to be on the news or on the television in any fashion, Hinata would change the channel.

There was no avoiding him here though. No possible way. Her best friend, Ino, was the bride in this whole engagement and of course by extension this meant that Hinata was asked to be her maid of honor. So as her duty stated she had to stay near her bride at almost all times and this same duty was also shared by the best man, which in this unfortunate case was Sasuke.

The two of them would have to sit in the same wedding party table and they would have to attempt to coordinate both the bride and groom's wishes into the wedding. Which meant that they would probably have to talk, which was something that Sasuke rarely tended to do. Especially when it concerned speaking to Hinata.

It's going to be just like pulling teeth with him, thought Hinata while she rued her very existence. If she wasn't pleased with this situation she couldn't possibly imagine how Sasuke would feel about it.

Hinata was almost positive that he wouldn't even speak to her. He would ignore her and look right through her as always. He treated her like she was some sort of godforsaken ghost that blew away at the slightest breeze.

Not to mention they would actually have to touch one another. When the time came the maid of honor and the best man would have to link arms and walk down the isle. Hinata could feel her stomach clench at this. They had never made intentional physical contact before.

What would he even do? Hinata stood next to Ino, who was busy chattering away with her mother. Hinata could feel herself getting sweatier and sweatier as her thoughts drove her crazy.

Is he going to push me away? Would he really embarrass me in front of everyone like that?

The fear initially sounded ridiculous, but over the years in school Hinata had started to notice that Sasuke went out of his way to avoid touching her. Sasuke had also habitually made sure that he was at least three feet from her at all times. It was borderline unnerving. It was even offensive.

The worst part was that Sasuke's behavior towards her wasn't provoked by anything that Hinata or anyone else was aware of. Anytime she attempted to ask him he simply bypassed her as if she didn't exist.

The first time she had met Sasuke was when they were both five. It was at her home and Hinata distinctly remembered being very enthused by the koi fish in the garden pond.

The Hyuga Complex 1997:

"Hinata, sweetheart. I've brought you a new friend to play with", said Hiashi as he stood with a very sullen looking little boy with dark hair and eyes. The boy's parents stood near and Hinata's only guess was that they were his mommy and daddy. "This is Sasuke Uchiha".

Hinata smiled lightly and felt herself blush, "Hi Sasuke!". She turned back to looking at her koi fish.

"Hn", was all Sasuke managed to get out.

Hiashi had turned to Sasuke's parents and they had begun to discuss something that Hinata hadn't been listening to. She was much too interested in the koi fish and the new boy that had just arrived.

"I'm Hinata", Hinata said softly as she turned to Sasuke once again. "And these are my fish". There was a hint of excitement in her last sentence.

Sasuke didn't say anything so Hinata simply continued. Her excitement propelling her forward in conversation.

"I like all of their colors and sometimes I wish I could touch them, but they're always too fast for me to catch so I can never pet one", Hinata pouted a bit.

Suddenly Sasuke's face grew pink and without saying anything he squatted down next to the pond and stuck his hands inside in hopes of catching a fish. He strained and did his best to reach, but had overestimated his reach and had somehow ended up going face first into the murky water.

The pond was shallow enough to stand in so as Sasuke resurfaced he sputtered and coughed. His face grew gradually redder and it stood out starkly against his pale skin.

At this Hinata could not help herself. She giggled at how silly it all was and as she was in mid giggle she felt something wet and sloppy hit her face and a bright orange koi fish was suddenly at her feet.

"You threw a fish at me!" cried Hinata as she reached hysterics. She turned to run to her father, but slipped on the bank halfway through and wound up crushing Sasuke as she accidentally joined him in the pond.

There had been a lot of crying that day.

Konoha Academy 2004

The Elite private school, Konoha Academy, was throwing their annual swap dance. Hinata was extremely excited because this year she was finally going to be able to ask out her long time crush, Naruto.

Konoha Academy was a K-12 school so most of their school events had age restrictions on them. The Swap dance was one of them. Only students in the secondary education system were allowed to attend, which meant that anyone in 7th grade or higher was given permission to go.

The Swap dance was its own brand of excitement as well. It required girls to ask their dates out. So to Hinata it was the perfect opportunity to use her school's tradition as a means to make her affections known.

The absolute best part about it was that Hinata had, had Ino ask Naruto if he was interested in going with her in advance and he had agreed. He had really agreed that it would be fun to go with her. It was a twelve-year-old's-dream-come-true and Hinata went starry eyed as she approached Naruto during lunch in the school courtyard. She saw that she was drawing closer to him and could feel herself elevate to the heaven's where she sat just on top of cloud nine.

That was until Sasuke interfered.

He had been sitting next to Naruto quietly eating an apple as Naruto spoke animatedly to him, but Naruto grew quiet as Hinata approached and his eyes lit up with recognition.

"Oh Hi Hinata!" he greeted with glee. He folded his arms behind his head and propped his left foot onto his right knee.

"Hello Naruto", Hinata could feel her face grow rosy and she knew she had to ask quickly before her nerve wore off.

Sasuke had somehow slunk off the bench unnoticed and stood a few feet away from them and looked down at the grass.

"Well Naruto…" Hinata began softly, "I was wondering if you would like to go to the Swap dance with me?"

Her question hung delicately in the air and Hinata opened her eyes slowly, not even noticing that she had squeezed them shut sometime during her question.

Naruto smiled, "Oh yeah I-" he was cut off as Sasuke suddenly approached him and leaned down to whisper something into his ear. Naruto squinted and then widened his eyes in shock.

Whatever Sasuke had said to Naruto was important enough for him to break one of his unspoken rules. He actually came within a foot of Hinata.

Whatever it was had to be absolutely terrible, because just after that occurred Naruto smiled apologetically and scratched his cheek with his index finger again.

"I'm really Sorry, Hinata, but I actually can't go to the Swap dance with you", he said this with a frown and then promptly looked back to Sasuke. But Sasuke wasn't looking anywhere near Naruto.

It had appeared to be the day of broken things, because not only was Hinata's heart broken, but Sasuke had broken yet another one of his unspoken rules. He actually looked at Her. They made eye contact for what felt like the first time in Hinata's life and it was humiliating because she could feel her eyes well up with tears.

Sasuke's face made a very twisted expression in which the tops of his cheeks tinted pink, but his actual face portrayed a look of graveness. It was like Dr. Jekyll had stolen Mr. Hyde's face as he peered at Hinata. It only made her more humiliated. She was sure that whatever he had said to Naruto had been to deliberately ruin her chances.

Hinata couldn't take it anymore. She looked down to her shoes and fought back her tears for dear life. She tried to ignore it, but she could still feel those cold black eyes intimidate her as they perused her body.

There was nothing she could do so she ran away and spent the rest of her lunch crying in the bathroom.

A/N: Alright guys! That's it for Chapter four! I hope you all enjoyed hearing about some of their history. I will say that you'll end up getting both of their perspectives on this matter so just sit tight and wait for Sasuke's Point of view.

Also I wanted to take the chance again to let all of you know that I absolutely adore all of your follows/ favorites. It really means so much to me. However I have to say that the most special thing to me is the reviews. I love answering you guys and interacting with you. It makes me feel so happy to be able to engage with you all and to be able to hear your questions as well as your opinions. You all mean so much to me! So I hope to hear more reviews from you so that I can know how I'm doing. Thanks!
