A week rolled by so quickly after that night, and despite my efforts I grew more attached to Hinata, and found myself in her company every moment I could spare.
I rolled out of bed with a groan, I was to have tea with my father this morning, last night I had came back from an Ambu mission, I would have to ask Hinata for more of her salve's.
When I saw my father smug look as I walked into his study I knew he was planning something , so I tensed in my seat.
" Oto-san"
"Itachi," His father pursed his lips in thought " I'm sure your aware that you will be of age soon."
I raised an eyebrow " That is what this about? You expect me to find a wife now?"
Fugaku snorted " Of course not."
I frowned.. That look never meant anything good.
" I picked one for you, many clans have stepped forward and offered their daughters hand's in marraige." Fugaku sipped his tea casually " I accepted Hiashi-sama's proposal, I want you to wed Hinata, the clan Heiress."
I growled lowly " No!."
" What?'' Fugaku asked warningly
I glared at the coward of a man " How could you expect me to crush every dream that girl has ever had? She lives and breathes and trains until her bone's break so she can take over her clan proudly and you expect me to do this?" I struggled against the urge to hit him " I will not ! I will not take her choice from her, if you try to force this I will gladly leave the clan."
I hissed, each word laced with venom, I stood angrily. " I will not let you control me, nor will I let you use me to take your pathetic vengeance for you, you stupid self centered conceded old fool!"
I took a breath, and my rage turned to disgust when I saw the look on his face, " Don't look so surprised father, if you had wanted it to be a secret, you shouldn't have sent my best friend to spy on me, you think I won't recognize his chakra after I practically grew up with him?" Before he could deny anything I stormed down the stairs to the kitchen.
Where Ookasan glanced at me concerned, " What's wrong?.."
I took a deep breath before looking at her again, " He wants me to marry Hinata."
Ookasan smiled slightly , " Isn't that good? You love her, weren't you hoping too?.."
I laughed frustratedly, " If I marry another Heir she becomes part of our clan,her biggest dream involves her taking over her clan."
Mikito nodded, " Ahh I see.."
I bit my lip worriedly something I had not done openly in years, " What do I do?"
Mikito smiled softly " Go to her, you truely deserve happiness Itachi , but I know you .. Give her the choice, and I pray for your sake that she says yes."
I smiled geniunely " Arigato Ookasan."
She laughed heartily " Go"
When I finally found Hinata later that day, she was talking to a guardsman cheerfully giving him a basket of food.
She had an air of innocence around her, the guardsman noticed me right away but smiled when he noticed that she had not.
I leaned forward and kissed her cheek from behind causing her to jump.
" Hinata-sama perhaps we shall continue another time seeing as you've a visitor."the guard said smiling at the couple mischieveously
Hinata nodded still blushing furiously.
She turned around and threw her arms around my neck, I breathed in her smell, a mix of berries and vanilla. [ SORRY I've become addicted to that smell from Bath and bodyworks it smells really good...] " I've missed you." She murmured as she pulled away , smiling happily.
I nodded weakly " Hinata I have to talk to you.. "
Hinata grinned " the marrage proposal yes?"
I paled " how did you know?"
She laughed before grabbing my hand and started pulling me towards the market " I'm not stupid, and no I don't mind it either, that is.. If your sure your ok with it."
For the first time that day I felt truely at peace.
