Chapter 12
Slamming the door, he made his way through the house. He had the worst headache, his eyes were red. Going into the kitchen he paid attention to no one.
"God what's wrong with you?" Mikoto questioned he nephew.
"Nothing!" He answered harshly, grabbing a glass to poor water in, moving out of the room.
"Obito!" She followed, taking hold of his shirt. "What is the matter with you?"
Turning the roughly he answered. "Hinata kicked me out! Happy? Now you know." Pulling he walked away angrily.
"She put him out?" Itachi questioned.
"I didn't think that she would-" Mikoto chocked on a sob.
"Mother, what happened?"
"I- I was worried about him-"
Sasuke stood going to his mother's trembling side, trying his hardest to figure out what was going on. She put him out, why? They had yet to tell him what he wanted to know about Obito and the two of them haven't been on the best ground so Sasuke figured it would be better not to bother him. About to question on the matter once again, his phone rang. Hinata? He looked down at the lighting screen. Leaving the commotion he made his way to exist the house.
"Where are you going?" His father came out questioning.
"I meet up with a friend don't wait up, I may not even come home just go to my apartment." He walked out leaving a confused father.
Sasuke walked out and the air hit him with a shock. He hadn't expected it to be so cold. Contemplating on where or not go back into the house to get his jacket but thought against it afraid that he would be question more or worst pulled into the family drama. Sasuke had little faith in his family, he loved them, but he just couldn't take the fact that no one saw him as equal to them or at list trusted him enough to let him on all their secrets. Obito was the only one that he thought he could have trusted but that bit him on the ass.
Driving over to Hinata's place he wondered what could have happened to make her kick him out. What had his mother said to Hinata? His mother always had a way of meddling in people's lives. Pulling up to Hinata's drive way the question popped up in his head.
Why did she call me first or did she?
Walking up to door, he was greeted by red eyes Hyuga when it finally opened. Those ghost eyes, that he loved so much, were field with red from pain and anger. Rapping his arms around her they entered the house.
She cried so bad Sasuke could have sworn blood would start to flow from her eyes. He tired his hardest to cram her down and it finally worked after about an hour. They had decided to go for a drive and Hinata had told him everything about Obito. Sasuke's anger towards his family worsened from what Hinata had told him. The two of them had gone to the meadow and he had managed to make her laugh. She thanked him, telling him how hard it was for someone to make her laugh when she was sad or crying. Say that he had a gift, he was proud of himself. By the time they knew it, it was after twelve and they had school the next day. Bring her back home she thank and apologized for calling him out but she needed someone who already knew about Obito and she didn't want Itachi or the others. He nodded and told her that it was fine, driving off when she entered the house.
He had planned to go back his apartment but decided against it entering the quiet house. He was about to go down the hall to his own room when he sported the door to Obito's room slightly open with light emulating from it. Going over he pushed it some more so that his body fit perfectly in the open space, watching his cousin lay almost lifeless on the bed, on arm thrown over his face and another across his chest.
"Still up Baka?"
"If you come to gloat, you can get the hell out."
"I came to find out why you didn't tell me?"
"So she told you." He stared blankly.
"The point is why you didn't?" When he got no answer, he continued. "You of all people know that I hate secrets. Haven't I been feed enough crap to at list get the truth from you? Obito!" He made sure not to raise his voice too loud to wake anyone.
"What did you want uh? You wanted me to call you up when I found out and spend all of the little time that we got to talk to tell you bad news? Sasuke you didn't see the look on everyone's face when… you don't know what it feels like to have everyone treat you like you're some fragile thing." He sat up. "I didn't want that from you Sasuke." Sasuke could muster up the strength to answer; turning away he was caught by Obito's last questioned. "What, you hate me too?"
Sasuke laughed stopping, his back facing his cousin. "She doesn't either." He walked away.

Weeks on end Obito tired his hardest to get to his girlfriend. She wouldn't answer any of his call and when he would go to the house if she was home she would ignore his callings and if he came to find her there she would have a back up by bring some friend over so that he wouldn't talk to her. Sasuke tried to help him as well but Hinata wouldn't change her mind. She made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with the first Uchiha. Hinata spent all her time working on the festival. She needed something to distract her from Obito. If she wasn't doing something for the student council…
"Hinata what about this designs."
She would be locked up in the art room; she and the art teacher had gotten pretty close,
"Hinata that wonderful."
Or in her house doing nothing. She kept away everyone unless they had something to do with the festival. Sasuke and Neji had begged her to come out with them but she wouldn't. She wouldn't even let Itachi, Deidara and Sasori in. Her routine what home, school, home. Righting now she was smiling at her make shift pub, proud of herself. She and everyone else were finally done and now all they waited was tomorrow. Sasuke stood up at the door waiting for her; he had become her rid to and from school. He would also picked her up if she needed anything in the store.
"You do know I have a life, right?"
"Not my problem. Shop, let's go." She pointed to the turn that was coming up and Sasuke obediently took it. "And don't worry am planning on begging my father to buy me a car so I will have no need for you."
"Ha I would love to see that happen. Hinata admit it is like your right hand. You need me."
"Oh shut up. Don't feel yourself to much." Sasuke laughed, stopping at the mall, Hinata got out and stood by the car watching him. Her hand on her waist and her face swerved.
"What? I'm not coming in."
"You have no chose right hand." She mimicked him, walking way with a pouting Uchiha walking right behind her.
Sasuke had to admit, he liked spending time with Hinata. She had made him her excuse for Obito, as much as he hated that, he like the fact that he was the one she was depending on. Though there are times when he did hate it, time when she had him wait on her, especial when she was working on the thing for the festival. With all the time they were spending together he had tried to help Obito. Sasuke didn't spend much time home but when there was there he saw how crappy Obito look and he hated seeing his cousin, brother figure, depressed. When Hinata had gotten everything she need he drove her home and stayed over for a while with Neji joining them. As much as Hinata wanted to be alone and push everyone out, she wanted the two of them with her. She didn't like that times when they would ask her to go out because she wasn't up for people other than them and also in fear of the tiring to set her up with Obito, whom she really didn't want to see.
"So you let Hinata come up and run the whole thing?" Neji questions.
"Yeah."
"Sasuke do you not know this girl?"
"Hey what those suppose to mean?" Hinata questioned walking into the living room.
"Hinata you are crazy controlling. If something doesn't go your way all hell back lose."
"What the problem with that? It's a good thing that I know what I want, isn't?"
"All I'm saying is Sasuke watch out if she doesn't make you dance tomorrow."
"Oh right I heard that you we're a dance bunny." She laughed seat on the floor while the boys nested perfectly on the couch. "How did that happen?"
"It was my mother's idea." Both Hinata and Neji were laughing.
"I so need to see that."
"Oh well Neji at your service. I've got some of the thing he use to do when his mommy forced him into dancing."
Hinata laughed.
Neji left coming back with a box of DVDs smirking over at the all too pissed Sasuke. Hinata laughed at the two boys, taking the box from Neji and popping a DVD in. They stayed watched until it was ten, with Sasuke trying his best to escape the torture.

Hinata was even more proud of herself when she saw the pub in full action. They had chosen to call it 'Nihon No Yume' which stood for 'Japanese Dream' for the maid cafe element that was incorporated into the pub.
The pub was make so that it attracted both male and females. The outfits for the females' were basically the same parting with small alterations for the different maids likings. The main thing was a fleered dress that reached the mid thigh with a white apron and knee-high shocks or stoking worn with flats or hills. The males own were a simple white long sleeve top, black pants and suspenders. Hinata herself was forced into a dress, which was off the shoulder, her stockings and ankle boots. She stood in the kitchen helping them warm the cakes and other things that they had bought and cooked over night. They businesses was going well especially because she got the school hottest seniors to wait the tables. She had even managed to get Sasuke in and outfit after he was done making his rounds.
"Hinata-chan, some of the kids are leaving."
"What, why?"
"The freshman as pull everyone to them with some act or something."
Hinata hated when people messed up her plains. She need to find away to get them back before the main performances arrived.
"Hey what going on? Where is everyone going?" Sasuke came in questioning and Hinata knew what she had to do.
"Done worry I'll have them coming back in no time." She smiled and pulled out her phone.
"Hinata?"
"Don't worry, just get your bunny legs warmed up." She walked out waiting for the person on the other side to pick up.
"Hinata?"
"Hey, Itachi I need a favor."
"Yeah, sup?"
"Remember when we crashed to teachers lunch."
"Un."
"Well I need you to get the guy bring them to my school cause I need you'll to crash something else with me."
"Hey, Hinata?"
"Yeah I need him to come too." She sighed, hanging up the phone. She walked out going to the art room. She needed to make a new banner, not to rename to pub but to add more of a dream to it. She smiles seating in from of some large paper and started to work.

"What damage to you thinks Hinata is planning to do here?" Sasori questioned as they pulled up to the school.
"Wait, isn't today he festival thing?" Obito added with a voice that clearly stated that he does not want to be there.
"Crap, she's not paining on doing damage. She's planning on making us her dance bunnies."
"I don't care can I go now."
"No Itachi pulled on Obito's shirt to get him out of the car."
Walking through the school they group felt watched, like they were pray to all the girl in the school. They needed to find Hinata and fast. Searching through something caught their eye.
'Nihon No Yume. The Uchiha experience.'
Hinata had found out from many of Sasuke fan girls that the Uchiha family had produced some of the hottest men in society, alongside with the Hyuga of course.
The group of boys looked over at the sign for sometime before they decided to go in and find out the meaning of this.
"Hinata I am not going to me your monkey."
"Sasuke as much as think I know you, I know you like to prevail and rule. This is the only way from our year to get the prize. And pulse." She moves way from him going to the boys who just entered to room "you won't be alone."
"Hinata you want to use us." Deidara came out crying.
"Oh only for a little while." She patted his cheek "You guys can change in the back and show the other Uchiha the movie. He's going to be my new dace Bunny." She spoke directly to Itachi, not blinking to watch the man standing next to him. Smiling at Sasuke she walking in to the kitchen to help out once again.

They had gotten many students to come back in following Itachi and the rest. Light off and the sound of music is the only being heard now. Everyone was silent when a single sport light came on in the dead center of the room. A girl seat on the table, one leg bent on the table with arm on it and the other dripped over the edge of the table. Around her sat five boys all head down, caps hiding their faces.
Her head soon rose and it was Hinata who had started singing the words to the song "I am a Good Girl'. Hinata sang the hold song with the boy right by her side dancing. She basically flaunted all of them to the girls in the room but they all tired to hide her from the praying eyes of the boys at the school. In the end Itachi and Sasuke ended up shirtless much to the pleasure of their fan girls. Sasori and Deidara had lost their hat and their shirt were open but still on their backs. Obito had only his first tow buttons missing and Hinata had stole his hat.
She was on the make shift bar- they had crated -seated, with the boys at her feet. Their little stunt was a success, crating many bleeding noses from both male and female. They had put on the perfect coming out act for the band about to come out.
Hinata was happy that the pub was doing will. She had prevented the boy from fixing their close -explicably the Uchiha's as the pub was named after them. With all it success she still hated the look Obito was getting from the girls. She may have put him out and stop taking to him but he was still hers.
Seating near the bar back in her maid outfit her face was puffed from anger that she was holding back. She was looking over to a table where Obito was laughing with some girls; Sasuke next to her took quick notice.
"Why Hinata Hyuga I never took you for the jealous type."
"Sasuke keep your thoughts to yourself especially when you're wrong." She moved away from him grabbing a tray to clean up some tables.
"Hinata that face screams jealous." He followed, helping."You're all read faced and you can't take your eyes off that table. Wonder what the hell he's doing there that long? And I know you want to go take him away from them but you have to much pride in you."
Hinata was speechless for a while before grabbing the tray again and moving to clean up some other table. "Nice to know, I'll tell you when I feel any of those things."
"Hinata the first step to recovery is in admitting that you have a problem."
"And what is my problem? The Green Eyed Monster?"
"The darkest green I have ever seen. So why don't you go over there and fight for what's yours?"
"Since when have you been all Obito?"
"He's my cousin, we leave in the same house and I'm the one who has to deal with his broken heart morning to night."
"Well go to your apartment Teme." She reached to bar again handing the tray to the girl behind it. Looking up at the clock. It was after four. Sasuke and her shift were almost done.
"Hinata admit it you miss him too." She show his eyes shift to the back of her and she knew that he was giving a sign to Obito. Itachi had used it once when they were younger any They had tried to tickle her.
Sighing she placed her hands on her hips; Sasuke smirked in what he thought was victory. "You Uchiha's are way too alike." He lost his smirk and Obito froze. "So trying to trick me Teme," she grabbed his hand pulling him out for the room. "Let go see what everyone else had and then to the fireworks." Before the existed Sasuke sent a frown for Obito. Stopping in the hall Hinata turned to the black head boy. "Don't you ever try and trick me! I have spent almost my hold life with those guys. So all the little signs they have taught you I know." She turned walking away. "Coming on I need sweets and you're buying."
They spent the whole afternoon together, with Itachi, Deidara and Sasori came to join them, spoiling little Hinata with sweets. Sasuke had asked where Obito was and Hinata's face swelled at the fact that he had chosen to stay back and help clean up. At 6:30 there were to be fireworks and Hinata was really looking forward to it. Itachi and the guys had left clamming that they had stuff to do. She and Sasuke sat wait for the fireworks to be start when Obito showed up head down, Sasuke got up to move but Hinata pulled him back down.
"Hinata, he is really a mess." He whispered in her ear and she let him go.
Obito took over his seat having nothing to say. Hinata hated to awkward silence between the spoke first.
With her bent head caused hair was draped over her face, she started. "Obito we need to stop this. We're fighting all the time and you're obviously not willing to live for me any more so forget it."
"Hinata over the pass weeks your all I wanted. Baby you are the love of my life and as for living. You are that reason. Hina, yes I stopped taking the medication but not because I don't want to live for you, I stopped because they don't work Hinata. Baby," he pulled her head up to face him. "you have to get use to the fact that I am dying. But please don't hate me or yourself for it. Hinata Hyuga I love you and I plan to make you mine one day but just in case that doesn't happen…I need you to remember all the time and all the things that we did. You are mine Hinata and I will always be yours."
Hinata was crying. She didn't was to accept that he was going to leave. She needed him to make her his and not only in word but in ever sill way possible. She wrapped her arms around his neck, crying onto his shoulder. She wanted, no, needed him to be here, away...
