Okay, the song "Perhaps Love" by Howl and J has inspired me think of many Sasuhina moments in the story!! Ahaha. That song is from Princess Hours/Goong.
It was 7 in the morning. Since it was a Saturday, everyone was still asleep. Then, a girl with chocolate brown hair started to blink her eyes. Groggily, she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"I gotta go to the bathroom," she said, lazily, and got up, quietly, not wanting to wake her friends up.
It was her first time to be in the Hyuuga apartment and she never really met any of Hinata's family members.
Not knowing which door would lead to the bathroom, she decided to open the door at the far left in the small hallway.
It was 7 in the morning. Since it was a Saturday, everyone was still asleep. Then, a boy with dark brown hair started to blink his eyes. He stared at the ceiling and sighed.
"Today is Saturday. I have to wake up and make breakfast." Slowly, he got up and walked towards the door. Right when he was about to turn the doorknob, it was swung open. Neji saw a girl with brown hair and brown eyes who was shocked, and he was too.
She gave out a gasp and quickly covered her eyes and turned around. Why did she do this? Well, the Hyuuga boy was shirtless. On the bright side, he was wearing sweatpants.
"I- I'm so sorry. I was just looking for the bathroom," she stammered. Ten-ten never ever stammered in her life! This was her first time since the boy in front of her was shirtless.
"The bathroom is right next to Hinata's room, which is over there," the boy directed and pointed towards that direction. Quickly, she gave a small bow, with her back facing him, and she scurried off to the bathroom.
"Well that was interesting."
(In the bathroom)
Ten-ten was sitting on the toilet, lid down, talking to herself.
"Why were you so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Ten-ten, you weren't supposed to see that until you were married! Stupid! Stupid!" She started to give small slaps to her forehead.
"Okay, okay. Take a deep breath Ten-ten," she told herself and followed. In, out.
The chocolate-haired girl rushed towards the sink and turned the faucet. She quickly splashed water on herself and looked into the mirror.
"Come on Ten-ten. You're not like this. Buck up! Buck up!" Ten-ten held her fists up and said "buck up" for the last time and began to brush her teeth.
After her teeth was minty-fresh, she stepped outside to find the same boy in the kitchen.
"At least he has a shirt on."
Awkwardly she walked towards the kitchen counter and sat down on the chair.
"Come on Ten-ten. Say something."
"Uhh," nothing came into her mind. "Sorry. I- I didn't me- mean to."
"Stupid Ten-ten! Since when did you begin to stutter?" She kicked herself, mentally.
He scoffed.
"I didn't think it was a big deal. Almost every guy sleeps shirtless. It wasn't like I had no pants on."
"It was the first time a saw a man shirtless!" the girl whined.
"Well, that was in the past. I'm Neji, Hinata's cousin."
"I'm Ten-ten."
"Nice to meet you, Ten-ten."
"Uhh, back at ya." She didn't really felt it was a nice first meeting with him so she couldn't say "nice to meet you" back at him.
The two remained silent and Ten-ten's eyes wandered around the room while Neji was cooking fried rice. It was a pretty average house. A stereo, sofa, T.V, and so on. There were pictures of the Hyuuga family decorated on the white walls.
A yawn was heard. Ten-ten turned and noticed that Temari had just woken up. The blonde grabbed a pillow and started to hit Hinata with it, in a playful manner.
"Princess Hinata! It's time to wake up!" This made the Hyuuga girl stir. Laughingly, she pleaded for mercy, "Okay! Okay! I'm awake! Stop hitting me!"
"As you wish, Princess Hinata," Temari joked and placed the pillow down as Hinata sat up.
"Good morning Ten-ten!" Hinata greeted. "Oh? Neji, why are you awake?"
"It's Saturday. I have to make breakfast. Since there are two more mouths to feed, I have to work harder," he whined. The three girls giggled.
Then, the youngest Hyuuga girl walked out of the room, yawning and scratching her head, followed by a tired looking Hizashi.
"Good morning everyone," Hanabi said. Everyone replied her with a "good morning".
After breakfast, the three sixteen-year-olds went to the pet shop. When they got there, they found a boy with brown hair and a fuzzy jacket resting on the counter, arms on the counter and head buried in his arms. The shy Hyuuga girl walked up to the lazy figure and tapped him on the shoulder, causing the boy the move, bringing his head up from his arms.
"Kiba?"
"Hinata? What are you doing here?" Kiba questioned.
"We're here for the jobs," Temari answered, rather seriously.
The Inuzuka boy shouted, "Mom! Hana! There are people here for the job!" With his command, two females stepped out from the back.
One looked rather adult-like, about in the late 30s. Hinata assumed it was Kiba's mother. She had short messy brown hair and the two red birthmarks that Kiba and the other female also had.
The other looked about 20 or so. She had long brown hair that was tied into a ponytail. The three girls assumed that she was Kiba's sister.
"What are your names?"
Each girl answered the question with their own names.
"Temari."
"Ten-ten."
"Hinata."
"So this is Hinata?" Kiba's mom questioned, which made Hinata nod.
"I heard about your debt from Kiba. I have to say, this job will not help you pay that great debt. I suggest you should get a second job. The restaurant across the street is in need for an employee. You should check it out. Work here on Tuesdays, Thurdays, and Saturdays and work there every other day, if you get the job."
Hinata gave a slight bow.
"Thank you."
"Ten-ten, you go give the dogs a bath. Temari, you go feed the pets. Please and thank you, girls. Hinata, you could head over there right now if you want," the boss ordered.
Ten-ten and Temari went to their stations, whereas Hinata left the shop and went to the restaurant.
When she was at the restaurant, she took in the details of it. The floor and walls were of polished rosewood. There were very artistic paintings hung upon the wall. The seats of the booths were of a mahogany color.
"This is probably a 4 star restaurant, at least."
"Hi, may I help you?"
Hinata broke out of her trance and faced the waitress.
"Hi, uhmm, I heard that you have a job opening here?"
"Oh yes. You should go ask the manager. The office is in the hall and to the right."
The Hyuuga girl thanked her and followed the waitress's direction.
When she came upon the wooden door, gently, rapped (knock) the door. After hearing the approval of an unknown voice, Hinata opened the door to find a lady in a khaki coat, purple hair that was in a ponytail, eating a dango.
"Hello, I'm here to take the new job," Hinata explained her presence.
"Well, I'm not in the mood for an interview today so you got the job. What fits your schedule?"
"Uhh, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:00 to 5:00. My school gets out at 2:30."
"Okay. Well I'll see you on Monday, uhh…"
"Hinata," she presented her name. "I'll see you on Monday. Thank you." She bowed and walked out of the office to the pet shop.
(In the evening)
Hinata just got out from the market after buying the necessities. She was walking with two plastic bags hanging from her elbows while on hand was holding a can of grass jelly and the other was fiddling with the straw. She took a big sip of her drink.
"It's pretty chilly outside tonight."
A tap on the shoulder was felt. Hinata immediately turned to the right to see who it was.
"Oh, hi Sasuke."
"What are you doing out here so late?"
"What are you talking about? It's only 8:30," Hinata replied showing her curiosity to what he meant.
"Because of that incident last night, 8:30 is pretty late," Sasuke calmly explained.
"Oh. Well, you don't have to worry. I may be shy and have a heart disease, but I am tough," she giggled.
"Your personality is tough, but your body isn't, Hinata. Once you have pushed the limit, you might die. Hinata, you're so naïve," The Uchiha boy pondered.
Sasuke was looking at his watch.
"Eh? Why do you look like you're in a hurry?" The curious Hyuuga was tempted to know.
"I have some place to be, but you out here all alone isn't such a good idea."
"Sasuke, I can handle it. My house is just about one more block away. You can go now."
"Alright, Hinata, be safe." After that, they parted their ways.
(Konoha International Airport)
A woman with dark blue hair was dragging her luggage. Her outfit consisted of a light blue turtle neck, a blue coat, and black knee-length skirt. Once she saw two boys waved at her, she immediately smiled and went towards them.
"Welcome home mom," Sasuke remarked.
"I'm glad to be back," she replied and gave the two boys each a warm hug.
"Is dad still in the U.S?" It was Itachi's turn to speak and in reply, he got a nod. Sasuke, voluntarily, took his mother's, Mikoto's, luggage and the three Uchihas headed towards the exit of the airport.
