"How dare they do that behind my back!" Hiashi banged the table with such power that the legs of the table quivered.
"So what is your plan, father?" Hanabi inquired.
Stiffening his body, he marched right out of the room with Hanabi at his tails. The grey clouds loomed heavily over the Hyuuga residence.
Hinata felt chilly from the back, so she snuggled closer to the warmth that stretched in front of her. Through her movements, her nipples brushed the chest in front of her, causing the bulge by her lower abdomen to harden. Slightly surprised by the change, she opened her eyes to see a solid chest blocking her view. The smooth chest that spanned before was smooth as marble but firm as steel. It was only through a lifetime of training in the dojo that helped carve this beautiful body. Allured by the body she slid her hands up to feel the contours of it. However she was disrupted by deep-throat chuckle.
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Neji mumbled sleepily. "You know, your foreplay is causing a reaction."
Abashed by the words, Hinata buried her face into Neji's chest to shadow her blushing cheeks. Neji tipped her chin up and kissed her gently at first. The kiss gradually changed into lustful passion, and the both of them were heaving with desire by the end of it.
"We can't do this." Hinata protested breathlessly. "We need to get ready soon. And what if Kakashi stumbles upon us. We'll never live it down."
"Alright," Neji sighed and got up from the floor. While they were getting dressed, the door was slammed open. Hinata yelped, startled by the suddenness. However her facial expressed changed immediately to fear. "Dad..." Hinata whispered, "Why are you here?"
Hiashi crossed the room and slapped Hinata so hard that her head hit the floor. "You slut! You are no daughter of mine! And you!" He pointed angrily towards Neji. "How dare you do this to me! Afterall I have done for you! Taking you in and treating you like my own son! Is this how you repay my kindness! Kakashi! Get the servants to get him out of my house! Now!"
"No, no,no,no," Hinata screamed in panic. "Please father!" She grabbed onto Hiashi's pants and pleaded. "Please father. No no! It was me who seduced him. If you needed to punish someone, please punish me."
"Hmmph," Hiashi pushed Hinata's hands away and said, "From this day onwards, all your freedom will be stripped from you. You are to never leave this house. And above all, you are not to see this traitor in my household." He glared at Neji as Neji was dragged out of the house.
Unwilling to leave Hinata, Neji struggled against the servants, but no avail. The rain poured heavily down on the house and pounded on Neji's heart. He was thrown out into the streets with no way on re-entering the household. The grand mahogany gates obstructed his path. No matter how many times Neji screamed against the door, no one answered him.
"Well I guessed that lover of yours is no help," Tenten jested. Neji turned around to see who it was, but due to the overwhelming shock from the events, he fainted.
"Hey" Tenten called out. That was the last thing Neji remembered.
Hinata fell ill for weeks. Whether it was dawn or night, everything reminded her of Neji and the moments that they had together. Memories triggered her waterworks, causing them to flow endlessly throughout the dreary days. Servants and her friends were prohibited from speaking to her about anything about events that happened outside the household. Interactions from servants only involved meals being served to her or bringing of fresh clothes. This made Hinata even more lonely after the absence of her love.
"Oh, Neji," she sobbed. "Where are you?"
"Hinata-sama," Kakashi quietly called through the barred windows. "I have come to bring you some news about Neji-san"
Immediately, Hinata's eyes lit up with life. She thanked the gods for finally answering her prayers. "Where is he? What happened to him?"
"Right now he is at a friend of mine. Don't worry, he is doing well." Kakashi answered hesitantly.
Hinata took notice of Kakashi's tone and asked wearily, "Is there something else?" All of sudden she became alarmed that it might be something about Neji that Kakashi's keeping from her. "Neji is hurt? Are you lying to me? Get me out of here! I want to go see him!"
Kakashi frantically tried to pacify Hinata. Finally, when Hinata contained herself, he said soothingly, "No it's not about Neji-san. It's about you."
Hinata befuddled, asked " About me?"
Kakashi wasn't sure where he should begin. Pausing a moment before answering Hinata's inquiry, and to gather his thoughts, he spoke slowly, "I... Please stay calm no matter what Hinata-sama." Taking in a breath, Kakashi continued "Due to your deflowering and to prevent this scandal from exiting the household, he has asked the Uchiha family to forward the wedding date to the day after tomorrow."
"But that is impossible-"
"Your father had arranged this marriage because the Hiashi family business is failing. During the past few years, Hiashi corporations had experienced a steep decline in revenue because of their competition with the Uchiha industries. The Uchiha industries has a vast fortune including an automobile manufacturing business and their supply of oil in the Middle East. Your father thinks that by allying with such an influential family will help prevent the diminishing Hiashi from completing disappearing. He had decided you would be the right choice since Hanabi-sama is to be declared the rightful heir of the family."
"So I'm just a tool to the family," silent tears continue to stream down her face. How expectant of her father. Her father never really loved her, because she had always disappointed him in grades and accomplishments. Her sister, on the other hand, was a rising star. She had showed academic and artistic talents that far surpassed her own so of course she would be more favored than herself. Although Hinata never hated her sister for that or yearned for her father's attention, she had only one person she desired and that was Neji. However, forcing Neji to be separated from her forever, in body and soul was something that she couldn't fathom.
Kakashi knew what she was thinking, which was evident in her desperate expression. He patted Hinata's hand and said in his most calming voice "Don't even think about killing yourself. Neji will never forgive himself if you did that. As long as you are both alive, you will have a chance to be together."
"How can we?" Hinata's voice hitched a little. "How can we when I'm about to be married off to a person I have never met? What are the chances that he will let me free from my marriage contract? Why would a person be that kind to me when my own father hasn't been so?" Hinata cried hysterically.
Kakashi sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say when all the things that Hinata contemplated were true. A wealthy family would never divorce so easily especially if it involves their reputation and wealth. Hiashi also would never support such an occurrence by forcing his will onto his daughter. Nothing seemed to work and the future seemed to sink into darkness for both like the deepening rain from the sky - ever pouring with no sign of ending.
"Mmm.." Sakura giggles as Sasuke nibbles on her ear. Their bodies were intertwined onto top of satin sheets surrounded by golden canopies. The two were happily together, fornicating over and over again. The room was heavy with the smell of lust and sex.
"So what... are," Sakura tried to nudge Sasuke so she can get his attention. He was in the process of nibbling on her collarbone. "Come on listen." Sakura whined impatiently.
"I'm listening," Sasuke muttered through his nibbling.
"No! I said listen." Sakura nudged Sasuke to the side, breaking his lips contact with her skin. The flesh under his assault was pink and tender. "I need to know are you really going through with this wedding. After all, we've been dating for centuries and this is the 20th century, so couldn't you possibly opposed if you wanted to?"
"Hahaha." Sasuke was roaring with laughter. He couldn't believe this girl who he had a "sex" with is asking him to give up on something as important as his family. Surely, she does not think she has any power over him whatsoever, right? Just preposterous that she fancies herself in love with him. After collecting himself, he smilingly said "Honey." Kissing her nipple, he got up from bed and began getting dressed. "You don't think our fling can amount up to something more. Remember, I told you that once you begin to fall in love with me, we're breaking this off for good." Turning around, he sees a woman that glows of sexual prowess. Her skin glistens in the lamplight, with a small waist and and round buttocks, its no wonder she was able to satiate his appetites. He walks over and mumbles "If you want to continue our, " his eyes slid down Sakura's body and back to her face, "rendezvous, you need to keep your body disconnected with your heart." He kissed her on the head as a final warning.
Tossing his jacket over his shoulder, he exited the room.
Pink flower petals like myriad stars, scatter across the lawn, painting a carpet for the bride-to-be to cross. Dressed in white, a picturesque of a virgin bride, Hinata cries silently, waiting for the inevitable. The preparations for the wedding were swift so that Hinata could be permanently chained to the Uchiha family. This dead weight in her life was so overbearing sometimes that she wanted to end her life. But she wanted to see Neji once more before she left this world.
There was a light knock on the door. "Hinata-sama, it's time."
Accompanied by servants dressed in extravagant black kimonos, Hinata made her way out to the car. They were to drive to the Shinto shrine to have a small procession with the Uchiha family.
The journey to the shrine felt too short for Hinata. She couldn't imagine marrying anyone other than Neji. Before she knew it, she found herself on the stone path toward the shrine.
"Hinata-sama! Hinata-sama! Where are you?" yelled little Neji. He ran as fast as he could with his short legs. Since this morning, Hinata and him had agreed to play hide-and-seek. However, it was noon now and he was still unable to find her. Not wanting to be lectured again for losing track of where the little mistress was, he searched everywhere. A sudden rustle from the flower hedge startled Neji. With shaky hands, he uncovered the bush to find his mistress lying peacefully on the grass. Little Hinata was adorable and even as a child, some of the beauty that becomes more evident in her adult years, are on her little face. She has long sooty lashes, pale translucent skin, dark arched eyebrowns, tiny perky nose, and bow shaped lips.
"Hinata-sama! You need to wake up! Master is looking for you!" Neji shook Hinata fervently, causing Hinata to cry out loud. Out of fear, she leaped right into Neji's arms and knocking him over the hedge.
"I'm sorry" Hinata squeaked. She was sincerely crying as she sat near Neji.
"Hinata-sama! Hinata-sama! What happened? Are you hurt?" Neji was frantic because he seldom see Hinata crying and was not sure whether he should immediately call for help or notify the master. Luckily, Hinata shook her head a second later, relieving Neji's mind on the issue. "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"
"I just had a nightmare. It was very sc-sc-scary." Hinata's sobs subsided to sniffles. Then she started hiccuping " I-I was r-running and and Neji you-you we-were running so-so fast and I-I w-was trying so h-h-hard to catch u-up and you ju-just kept on running. I-I grew so t-t-ired and fell. I l-lost you and w-was in the -d-dark a-alone."
"Hinata-sama," Neji smiled comfortingly, "you need not worry. I'll always be by your side. Oh yeah here!" Neji reached into his pocket and took out a beautiful butterfly clip. It sparkled with little blue sapphires and pink crystals. He handed it to Hinata and explained "This was my mother's. When she died she gave it to me to hold onto. She said that one day when I go to heaven, I can return it to her. But I'm sure she'll be happy if I give it to you for safekeeping. Whenever, you get scared you can look at it because it has my mother's and my magic power in it." He placed it gently into her palm.
"Wow! It's so pretty." Hinata's tears dried up and a smile appeared on her face. "I shall always cherish it."
Neji wiped the tears off her face, and smiled back. "Yep. I know you will. Hinata-sama, it's time to go back."
"Wait!" Hinata tugged at Neji's shirt, and she pleaded with her eyes, "Call me Hinata. You are my friend, so no need for formalities. Plus calling me 'Hinata-sama' makes me sound really old. If you are afraid of getting into trouble, you can call me Hinata when it's just the two of us."
As Neji nodded, Hinata jumped in delight. She squealed and dance and giggled with pleasure that the world seemed perfectly right.
"Congratulations Uchiha-san. Cheers to you and your lovely bride!" The whole Uchiha industry upper management was there cheering Uchiha Sasuke with raised glasses.
"Thank you all for coming to my wedding! Cheers to that!" In saying that, the whole group drank happily - all except one. Hinata stared blankly at her glass of champagne. As the people around her cheered in glee, the more she suffered. Her heart ached to see Neji just once and know, with her eyes, that he is alright. Her thoughts were interrupted by Sasuke's question.
"My bride," Sasuke gleamed with pride "Are you alright? Would you like a glass of water?" He stared at his beautiful goddess, the one he stared at from across the street that day. Her beauty was striking as was her figure. The heart shape face, snow like complexion, rouge pouty lips and dazzling purple eyes was completed with the perfect arched in her brow. She was more than he can hope for in a business trade wife. Little did he notice the sad expression of hers, or the dark circles that were caused by days of sleep deprivation.
In order to ignore Sasuke's question, she dunked the whole flute of champagne down her throat. The whole crowd roared with pleasure and they continued to toast the couple. Glass after glass, Hinata continued to drink recklessly. Sasuke was thoroughly impressed by Hinata's ability to hold her alcohol.
"Now let's have our first dance by the newlyweds." The MC hollered to the crowd, urging them to pressure the couple to move onto the dance floor. In response, Sasuke extended out his hand towards Hinata as an invitation, but Hinata did not take his hand. She continued to sit there, drinking her champagne. Hiashi noticed that, so he chuckled nervously "She must've had too much to drink." He vice-gripped Hinata and squeezed until she was yelping in pain. "See. I'm sure she's all sober now." He signaled her to go with Sasuke to the dance floor.
Tugged unwillingly to the dance floor, Hinata quickly grabbed another flute of champagne to numb her mind and thoughts. She waltzed around the floor with Sasuke, who guided her with such precision that it seemed like they were floating. In the light, Hinata's gowned shimmered with green and lavender swavorski crystals, and lavender silk. She was a vision to behold even in her unhappy state. Her hair was a bundle of loopy curls set behind her crown with pearl clips keeping it in place. At her neck sat a 14k white gold royal grace necklace. Oh, how Sasuke wanted the night to end so he can ravish his bride. The night was long, so it give him plenty of opportunities to familiarize their bodies to each other.
After they finished their first, dance they partnered with other people for dances. When Sakura paired up with Sasuke for the dance, they bantered back and forth on the topic of when they will meet up again. All the while, Sasuke kept his eyes and thoughts on Hinata. On the other hand, Hinata was being reprimanded by her father about her behavior just before. Unable to bear this pressure, Hinata resorted to drinking and avoidance. She returned to the hotel room, leaving her husband behind. Sasuke wanted to leave too, upon seeing that, but was stopped in his tracks by business associates, and Sakura. He thought, When will this night be over?
This is a chapter in a long while. I'll try to put up more stuff tomorrow. Hope to see you soon.
