I got tired of putting title and the other stuff, so only disclaimer from now on.
Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto.
Kaelin (Guest): Okay, I gotta admit, I usually write my chapters late into the night, so my writing usually turns out to be a teensy-weensy, just a little bit OOC. So after some careful consultation with the writing part of my brain, I changed it because you are definitely right, but I got to say a lot of nobility was used as a stepping stone for many noble families in Edo Japan (or at least according to the shoujo manga I have to stop reading. I apologize for my inner romantic). I changed that last line in Chapter 1 if you haven't already seen it.
Smiley Face (Guest): *wiggles eyebrows* Me, too
Dubious: Chapter 3
He glared at the tall walls with the symbol of the Haruno clan on it. He could see light emitting from over the gray walls and the sound of laughter a soft background. He didn't get why people celebrated birthdays when it happened only once a year, but then again, this was Sakura he was talking about. He sighed and tugged twice on the rope bell while fumbling with the shiny pink colored box. Sakura was never a materialistic person, but this would have to do.
"Konbanwa, Uchiha-san," bowed the Haruno clan member. He silently stepped through the gate and quickly followed the male. Sakura was in the middle of a circle while trying to catch one of her party guests blind folded. Naruto was the first on to notice him.
"Ne, Sakura-chan, Sasuke is here! I told ya he would come!" The pinkette took the black blindfold off and gazed at him.
"Sasuke-kun, you came!" He stepped on the green grass speckled with pink petals-it seemed that Sakura would have her party out in the courtyard this year and it seemed, as if he was the last one to arrive. He shoved the box in her hands and walked away, not bothering to even say a 'happy birthday' her. However, Sakura seemed on the verge of crying. "I'm so happy...," she smiled. Naruto put his hand on her shoulder and smiled warmly as she wiped away a stray tear.
"Well, now that Sasuke-teme is here, I think we should take a break and start bringing the food out-" The opening of the shoji doors drew their attention away from Naruto. Sakura quickly recognized the blue haired figure.
"Hinata?" she asked.
"Gomen, I'm l-late."
"When did you get here?" asked Sakura in disbelief as the blue haired female enveloped her in the light blue kimono.
"J-just yesterday." Whispers could be heard among the crowd of guests wondering who the girl was.
"Hinata-chan!" screamed Sakura's golden-haired mother, "You're so big now! The last time I saw you was when you and Sakura were toddlers!" followed by a constant stream of questions like, "How has your mother been doing?" or "How old is Hanabi-chan now?"
"'Kaa-san, don't hog Hina-chan all to yourself! She just got here yesterday, I want some time with her to myself, too! You're keeping all my party guests waiting, didn't you say you were going to host this for me?" Sasuke watched the pair converse with each other as everyone settled on the large black blanket under the Sakura tree. Who was she? he wondered to himself. And when the cool breeze of late spring blew the luminescent cherry blossom petals along with the strands of indigo and pink hair back, he remembered from yesterday those near creepy opalescent white eyes that stared at him. From where had he seen those eyes? He could remember a faint memory of short cobalt blue and long strands of brown, but that was it.
Konbanwa: Good evening
A/N I edit my stuff a lot, so as you can see, or not, Sasuke doesn't really...have a...crush on...Hinata...anymore...But don't fret! This IS a SasuHina fanfic under the genre of 'Romance'. And tragedy.
