A/N: You guys are totally awesome with your reviews. And since I haven't updated in a long time and all of you say its not fair for a cliffhanger. I'm going to post a new chapter sooner rather than later.
Also I posted a link on my profile page (under the Naruto category) of what Sasuke's outfit looks like in this story, in case you were wondering.
ENJOY
Sasuke nearly choked on his drink, because what he saw he wasn't sure he could believe.
Standing at the door was none other than his partner, Hinata Hyuga. But that was not was shocked him, it was how she looked.
Hinata had her long dark hair styled down her back in cascading waves, her pale skin seemed to shimmer in the dim lighting, and she was wearing a deep purple kimono that was low cut to show off her rather impressive chest and it only went down to mid thigh. She strutted across the room in her black heels that enhanced her ass as well as show off her long slender legs.
This was defiantly not the Hinata he knew. That one would have fainted just at the thought of wearing something so revealing. Now Sasuke was extremely curious to know more about the byakugan user.
"Holy Hell! Who is that fine piece of ass?" Kori was not subtle as he checked out Hinata. "Looks like I found a new toy."
Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued to watch his partner. He wasn't sure what her plan was but she was, without a doubt, getting Kori's attention.
No sooner had Hinata walked up to the bar, did men surround her asking to buy her drinks. But she kept her cool and kindly denied them. Out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw Kori whisper something to one of his security guards. The guard than walked over to the bar to talk to Hinata.
He couldn't hear what the man was saying to her but she peaked over his shoulder to their area and gave Kori a smile then walked over.
"Hello there pretty." Kori smiled. "I was hoping that you would join us for a drink. What do you say?"
"I don't know…"
"Aw come on. We won't bite."
Hinata thought about it for a moment before sending Kori a smile. "Okay. I guess one drink won't hurt."
"That's my girl." Kori was about to tell one of his girls to move but before he could do that Hinata went and sat next to Sasuke.
Sasuke enjoyed the look on Kori's face when that happened.
"So what's your name sweetie?" He asked.
"Oh I'm sorry. Where are my manners? My name is Nana." Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He had not suspected her to use a fake name. He would have to remember that so not to blow her cover.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Nana. My name is Kori, and these are some of my associates." He nodded around the table.
"And what's your name?" Hinata turned to look at the Uchiha.
Sasuke saw Kori give him a glare. Whatever Hinata was doing, he hoped she understood the risks she was taking. If Kori got mad about Hinata giving Sasuke all his attention then Kori may kick him out.
"This is Sasuke Uchiha. You may have heard of him. He is the great missing-nin from Konoha. He has quite the reputation for being a ruthless killer."
Hinata recoiled a little bit. Sasuke didn't know if she was acting or her reaction was real but it still hurt him a little bit. He was doing his best to forget about his past and this guy was enjoying the discomfort it created.
"That sounds like an exciting past." Hinata said, staying in character. She then turned her attention to Kori. "And what about you? I'm sure your past is not as…exciting as Uchiha here."
Sasuke inwardly smirked. He was starting to understand what Hinata was doing. She was pretending to be interested in him to cause Kori to want to challenge him for her attention. Hinata was playing it out to be a competition.
Kori instantly took the bait. "My past has been very exciting. I have killed more people than I can count as well as rob villages."
Sasuke couldn't believe how easy getting information out of him was. At this rate, they would have all they need by the end of the night. He could also see how Hinata was happy with the results as well. But she wasn't done yet.
Gracefully, Hinata leaned over the table showing off some of her chest and gently affected Kori's hand as he went to grab his drink.
"That all sounds so very impressive. I don't know how someone could top that."
This was it, they were about to get the confession of a coup.
Kori smiled. "That was nothing, if you want to hear something really impressive then let me tell you…."
But Kori stopped when one of his guards grabbed his shoulder and shook his head.
"Ah, well, maybe I should keep that a secret." He lean in and winked at Hinata. "Don't want to give everything away. Gotta leave some mystery."
"Damn it, we almost had him." Sasuke looked over at Hinata. She looked a little disappointed but not fazed. Their mission may not be completed by it did not mean it was a failure. They still had time before the coup was supposed to happen.
The rest of the night was extremely boring in Sasuke's opinion. Kori spent the entire time trying to impress Hinata. She would react accordingly laughing and giggling whenever he told a joke, no matter how stupid or corny it was.
He could not understand how someone like this was able to be a criminal, let alone one that could organize a coup.
Sasuke had been drinking but he used his chakra to kill the alcohol, so he was a sober as ever. He wasn't so sure he could say the same for Hinata. She was swaying a bit and slurring her words.
Hinata crossed her legs to show them off more and Kori's eyes went directly to her bare skin. She let out a small yawn. "It's starting to get late. I think it's time for me to go home."
"Aw, why so soon? The night is young."
"I'm flattered but I need to get some rest. The real festival has yet to begin and I want to look me best."
"Very well then, I will have one of my friends walk you home."
"I can take her." Sasuke offered. "I want to get back to my place to rest too."
Kori gave him a look. "I'm not sure."
"That is so nice of you Sasuke." Hinata chimed in. "Thank you so much Kori for giving me one of your guards." She then staggered a little as she went and hugged the man.
This distracted Kori from his suspicions. "Yes well, I hope to see you tomorrow."
"Of course!" Hinata gave him one more coy smile before walking away with Sasuke.
Hinata staggered away and even tripped before they made it out the door. Sasuke tried to help her but she would push him away.
Once they turned the corner and were out of sight of the club Sasuke stopped and looked at Hinata.
"What the hell was that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why are you wearing that? Why were you acting like that? And why are you drunk? We have a mission to finish."
Hinata winced a little. "I guess I should finally explain my specialty, But we can do that once we get back to the hotel."
Hinata started to walk away and Sasuke was surprised to see that she walked perfectly normal and sober. "Was she acting that entire time?"
Once they were in the hotel room, Hinata immediately took off her heels with a sigh of relief.
"No matter how much I wear these things, I will never be used to them." She flung them on the bed and headed to the bathroom. "Let me take a shower and change real quick and I will explain everything."
Sasuke took off his jacket and went to lie down on his bed. He was trying his best but he could not get the image of Hinata in that short kimono out of his head.
She acted like no one he had ever seen before. She walked in with such confidence and beauty that men's attention just gravitated towards her, including his. The way she behaved in the bar made no sense to him. It actually made him a little angry. Why would someone with skills of a shinobi, lower herself to such a level? They needed to stop the coup before anything happened and in his personal opinion the best way to stop it was to simply kill the idiotic man.
What Hinata was doing made no sense to him. She was flirting and playing games with the idiot. Toying with his emotions, making him practically beg for her attention. Why she just didn't go it, slit his throat, and be over with it was beyond him.
Of course this train of thought was one of the reasons why Sasuke had gotten into so much trouble in the past. He use to kill people without a care in the world.
It was one of the reasons why he didn't want to go back to Konoha. He did not want to go back to the mind set that he has had in the past. And if he continued to go on missions at this moment in time, he knew that he would crack.
There was still a lot in his life that he wanted to figure out.
Now that he had found out the truth about Itachi and the reason behind what he did, Sasuke felt like he had nothing worth living for anymore. His entire life had been about revenge and now he was just walking through life without a purpose. Going back to Konoha and doing missions for the rest of his life could have been a purpose, and it had crossed his mind multiple times. But every time he thought about Konoha and its past with his family, his blood boiled.
There was no way in hell he would go on protecting that place solely because it was once called his home. No. He would only go back to that place if he found a good reason to go back.
But he could figure that out later. Right now he had a small reason to keep going, even if it was for a short time, and that was taking care of Kori Okamaru, or as he decided to call the man...idiot.
Hinata hummed as she washed her hair. Although they did not get the information they needed, she felt that they had made good progress with Kori.
The man looked and acted like a complete idiot.
But Hinata was not going to be fooled. This man was also dangerous. If he succeeded in the takeover than he would have enough power and the ability to start going to war with surrounding areas and eventually he would be powerful enough to try and attack Konoha. And she had no doubt that he would.
Kori was a competitive man and liked power. He would go as far as he needed to go to be on the top.
It was up to her, and now Sasuke, to stop him and his men before anyone got hurt.
"Sasuke…"
Hinata felt bad that she had kept him in the dark about her "special skills." He was in total confusion for most of the night and she felt it was all her fault. She should have known better than to not tell him all of her plans. That was Shinobi Teamwork 101, if they were going to work as a team than they needed to know all the details.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him about her seduction skills. It was just that she was a little embarrassed.
Being a seductress was not something that you go around and tell people about. Not even her own family knew about it. The only people who really know about it was the Hokage, Keiko-sensei, and her ANBU teammates. If news got out about the Hyuga Heiress being an expert in the art of seduction, all hell would break loose.
Hinata also felt that people judged to quickly when they heard stories of seductresses. They instantly think negative of them. That seductresses sell their bodies and demoralize women. But Hinata never agreed with that. She felt that it showed the power that women have. They have an ability that men do not and it was up to them to show that women were as strong, sharp, and as cunning as any man.
She just prayed that Sasuke would feel the same way. She didn't know why but she was actually concerned with what he thought of her.
As kids, they never talked and she was so focused on Naruto that he rarely crossed her mind. But now things were different. She was over Naruto and Sasuke looked like he was finished with his mission for revenge. Maybe now they could possibly be friends.
Without realizing it, Hinata's hands had started to wrinkle. Deciding that was a good sign to get out, Hinata turned off the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. But once she was done drying off, she realized that she did not grab a change of clothes.
"God, I'm such an idiot."
Quietly, Hinata opened the bathroom door just a crack and peered out.
Sasuke was lying on his bed with his arm over his eyes.
Letting out a small sigh of relief, Hinata opened the door all the way and tip toed her way to her bag.
She was halfway to it when she was stopped dead in her tracks.
"What are you doing?"
Sasuke heard the door open and figured that Hinata was finally ready to talk but then he heard her trying to sneak through the room.
When he peaked through his arm he nearly fell off the bed. Standing before him, wrapped only in a towel, dripping wet, was a shocked and blushing Hinata Hyuga.
"I…a….forgot my clothes." She stammered.
Sasuke figured he should have looked away but he couldn't pull his eyes off of the girl. The simple towel showed off her lean and toned body along with her bigger than average chest. She was not skinny or a stick, but instead had hips and a set of curves that were in all the right places. Sasuke hated how women assumed that men only liked sticks. It was nice to see a woman with an actual figure.
But what really confused Sasuke was the fact that she was actually blushing. It was as if she was embarrassed by the situation. Sasuke didn't understand why she would be embarrassed when she was literally in something just as revealing in a bar just an hour ago.
"C-could you close your eyes please?" She asked.
Breaking his trance, Sasuke turned around so he faced the wall.
"Thank you." He heard her whisper. He then heard pattered footsteps and then the slamming of the bathroom door.
"How can she walk around a bar and act one way and then when we get back to the hotel, act like a different person?" Sasuke let out a large exasperated sigh. "Women."
