chapter 10: Choices

" yellow or red? ...sakura are you even listening? "

" huh? ... oh umm.. pick the one that you like more Ino" a very spaced out sakura answered

" never mind I don't need a new necklace but... sakura come on cheer up" Ino said in a worried tone. Her best friend had literally knocked on her house door crying her eyes out .After what seemed like an eternity sakura seized crying and finally told her what had happened to she told ino had been shocking but secretly Ino realized sakura herself had caused her own problems. The part of hinata standing up for herself against sakura surprised her some much she would have loved to see that. It was time hinata stopped letting sakura play with her like a doll always pushing her aside when she was bored. And the part about sasuke had been breathtaking .Who would have wondered the Uchihas unreachable beauty had a soft side in him and hinata of all people. Well truth be told it was still to be seen what sakura had seen could just about mean anything... but what exactly?. As far as Ino knew sasuke had loved once but he's feelings hadn't been returned and since then he had seen love as he didn't need in his life as far as he was concerned.

" i just can't ... why me?... and her with my sasuke!" sakura said in disbelief.

"you can't just call him yours yet he's not even your boyfriend" Ino pointed out

" don't remind me hey!whose side are you on anyways i thought we were going shopping to cheer me up so far i still haven't even smiled" sakura said annoyed

" Either walk faster or move out of the way"said a low ,cold voice sakura knew to well and loved

" Sasuke !" sakura said sounding almost happy

" I think the word your looking for is excuse me" Ino said in a demanding tone

" I try not to waste my time now move" sasuke said walking away bumping on there shoulders as he passed

"sasuke ..wait" sakura said in a pleading voice

"Shut up"sasuke said in a harsh tone before walking away. Leaving sakura to stare at his back as he walked farther away .

" Sakura ..." Ino said in worried tone

" I know am a fool for loving him but.. i just can't help it you should understand me" sakura said letting the tears fall.

" I do i loved him too... well that was before i knew Sai" she said in a kind voice

" Why can't he love me.."

" Oh sakura don't blame yourself according to sasuke's mom he only loved once but because his feelings weren't returned he well gave up on love" Ino said sounding sorry for him.

" That's right you work for sasuke's mom in her tea place...would you" sakura said before Ino stopped her from saying more

" No sakura I will not help you win sasuke by using his mom" Ino said in a firm voice

" i thought you were my friend " Sakura said

"I am and you know that"Ino said

"then why wont you help me" sakura asked

"Lying, cheating, using others, betraying people in order to win sasuke is not the right way and i won't be a part of that sai would never forgive me if he found out i helped you with something like this" Ino answered

"...your right" she said looking down


So many feelings were going through hinata's head but mostly confusion. Was this actually happening? To her and this was her … "why?" she thought.

As itachi ended their kiss he could see hinata's blushing face who had also this look only someone who …. before itachi could react he hear her yell and found himself loosing his balance next thing he knew he was on the ground with both of his cheeks burning up. " Did..Did you just slap the shit out of me" blurted out itachi shocked

" huh? Oh am so sorry itachi I don't know what came over me gomen.." said a very panicked hinata

laughing itachi asked "was that your first kiss?"

Slowly hinata nodded blushing and then said "am so sorry did hit you hard am so sorry I really am"

Rising up Itachi answered " though that was shocking and unexpected I kinda deserve it for stealing your first kiss like that"

"Kinda?" hinata asked

" OK maybe I did" itachi said

" itachi I really don't understand anything now " hinata said looking away

Sighing itachi pulled her close into a warm embrace " you didn't let me finish when I said I don't want to marry you like this … I meant I don't want to marry you knowing your being forced on to a marriage you don't want not having any feelings towards me... along time ago when I was little my mother asked me what i thought about marriage and then warned me that marriage was something parents couldn't decide for their children. Marriage was something two people who loved each other should choose themselves... though I realize we have no choice in this marriage... but.. I cant do that to you... I would be taking away the life you knew and make you unhappy... that's why... I cant marry you like this but .. but that doesn't mean I don't want you as my wife.." blushing he looked at her deep into her eyes. " hinata will you let me make you happy? will you let me win your heart and then you can choose weather you want to marry me" he finished
