Chapter 10
Not my story but would be so awesome if it was.
Sasuke's POV
He watched as Hinata left the kitchen, temporarily entranced be the sway of her hips as she walked back towards the living room.
'Damn,' he mused in a slightly lustful manner, 'It should be a crime for such an innocent women to have such a sinfully delectable body'.
Sighing lightly he turned to face away from her to start washing the dishes when her heard the patter of her small sock covered feet running back towards him.
"Um Sasuke," he heard her say.
"Hn," he replied with every intention of not looking at her, know that it would only make his trip to drop her back into reality all the more difficult than it already is.
"I was wondering if I could borrow a belt to wear with my clothes," she asked, slowly rubbing her toe against the hardwood floor, "Your shirt looks like it'll be too big, so the belt would secure it a bit more."
He nodded his head, but still did not look back as he continued to clean up the dirty dishes left from their breakfast.
"Sure," he replied, "there should be some in the closet in the hall."
He didn't hear her say a word, instead all he heard was the pitter patter of her small feet as she left the kitchen, so he was surprised win he felt her arms around him.
He automatically tensed up as she tightened her grip a bit.
"Thank you" she replied as she slightly nuzzled her cheek into his back as her hands pressed firmly into his chest.
'Think good, clean, pure thoughts Sasuke!' he mentally screamed at himself, even though he found it hard not to drown at the feel of the large and perky breast that she was currently resting against his lower back, 'She isn't aware of what she does to you.'
He clenched his jaw in an effort to prevent the pained groan that wanted to rip through his throat from passing his lips.
"F-for wh-what?" he asked, sorely aware that the erection he had was being pushed up against the sink counter.
"For talking care of me," she mumbled softly into his back, "even when no one else would."
Gently Sasuke gripped her hands and pulled them away from his body, making Hinata her take a step back from him.
Hinata's POV
'I guess he doesn't like me hugging him' she thought as she looked down in embarrassment.
"I'm so so-sorry Sasuke," she muttered softly as she looked at the floor to avoid eye contact with him, "I didn't mean to offend you it won't happen—"
Sasuke never gave her the opportunity to finish her sentence as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a deep but warm hug, shocking her into silence.
"I was happy to take care of you" she heard him whisper into her ear, "Frankly you are someone that should always be taken care of."
Her heartbeat fluttered as Sasuke uttered those words to her and her eyes widened in astonishment before she realized that Sasuke pulled away slightly and said "Now go take a shower and I'll take you to school".
Reluctantly she left the comfort and warmth that Sasuke's arms provided her with and slowly made her way to the bathroom to take her shower and prepare for her return home.
Sasuke's POV
He finished the dishes as he reflected on what he had told her, placing the last dish in the cupboard before he made his way into the living room and sat down on the couch that served as Hinata's bed the night before.
'Did I really mean what I said to her?' he pondered before running his hands through his hair in frustration. 'Ever since she regained consciousness I've either been arguing with her, comforting her, scheming with her or lusting after her. It's not normal for me to act like this with a person I just met.'
He sighed again, a habit the seemed to manifest itself from the moment he met her. He reached over and grabbed the remote control.
'Maybe some trash TV will take her off of my mind right now' he thought as she pressed the on button and watched as the television set start up.
Unfortunately the first thing he saw was a live interview featuring both Ino and Gaara. He stopped and listened, thinking it would be some cookie-cutter generic interview that would attempt to cover up the stunt that she and Gaara pulled on the day they were to be married and save her fan base.
He was dead wrong.
He closed his eyes, the vein in his forehead sporadically bulging as he continued to listen to the lies and utter bull the continued to come from Ino's mouth.
'So Ino, tell me how your life has been since the wedding fiasco that took place only a week and a half ago' asked he curious interviewer. Before responding, Ino crossed her legs and reached over and grabbed Gaara's hand, turning a bit to smile at him. 'What can I say?," she said as Gaara lifted their intertwined hands and kissed the back of hers, 'We're happily in love.'
Sasuke practically gagged as he heard the studio audience 'aww' and coo at their supposedly 'tender moment'
'But weren't you in love with the handsome Sasuke Uchiha, just a little over a week before?' asked the reporter as she leaned forward a bit, 'I mean you did agree to marry him, so you must have loved him.'
It seemed to Sasuke that the audience agreed with the sentiment because they began to shout out "Yeahs!" and "Give explanations!" his smirk grew wider when he heard an overzealous audience member stand and yell "EXPLAIN WHY YOU BROKE SASUKA-SAMA'S HEART YOU LOWLIFE TWO-FACED WHORE!"
Ino shirked back a bit and Gaara wrapped his arm around her and rubbing her low back in comfort while he glared darkly at said fan. When she regained her bearings, she looked up at the audience and said 'It's not that I didn't love him, because I did, I mean, if I didn't then i wouldn't have agreed to marry him.' The interviewer arched her eyebrow in slight skepticism before she asked 'Then what changed to make you not go through with marrying him if you loved him?'
'Yeah' asked Sasuke in his mind as he, just like the studio audience awaited that the answer albeit he was far more impatient than the rest, 'What changed because last time I check I was a pretty good boyfriend to you'.
Rather than Ino answering, Gaara answered for her, 'it's rather simple, Sasuke didn't change but Ino's need and wants did and Sasuke wasn't able to meet them.'
The interviewer, the studio audience and even Sasuke looked on in shock as the words left Gaara's mouth.
'What do you mean there were needs that "THE" Sasuke Uchiha couldn't ful –'
Sasuke looked up to see Hinata—seemingly only dressed in his shirt with a belt to cinch her waist and the first two buttons undone—swinging the plug for the television in her hand.
"You shouldn't watch this," she said as she watched his eyebrow twitch in annoyance, "It's practically staged to make you look bad"
He stood up slowly and looked passed Hinata to the window behind her, walking towards the sill as if it held the answers to the questions that he possessed, before turning towards Hinata again, letting his rage and a bit of his hurt leak into his voice and facial expression.
"I gave that bitch all that I had short of putting her name on all of my bank accounts," he said as he clenched his fists open and closed, "I bought her gifts, I took her out on dates, I went to each one of her dumbass concerts and I even let a movie slip pass me so I could help plan a wedding that didn't even happen."
Hinata walked towards him and hugged him, keeping her arms around his waist as if she were trying to take in and shoulder all of his pain over his situation.
"Come on," she said with a small smile, "a nice drive might do you some good, and you can drive me to school at the smile time.
He let her lead him outside and she turned around to look for his car, he watched in amusement as she began to run around looking to see if he had parked the car behind the house. He decided to put her out of her misery and pressed a button on his keys that opened his hidden garage.
"Come on Hinata," he said as he walked over to his navy blue Bugatti Veyron, "We have to get you to school."
She pointed at him accusatorily and said "You let me run around looking for the car when you could have just pressed a button."
Sasuke shrugs and smirks at her "It was funny" he replied simply as he stepped into his car and unlocked it for her.
Hinata's POV
Sighing irritably, she marched over to the car, before pausing, slightly in awe at its beauty. Slowly she approaches and opened the door to get in.
"Sasuke?" she called out to him.
"Yeah?" he replied
"What kind of car is this" she asked as she looked at its breath-taking interior.
"This is a Bugatti Veyron," he said as he started the car. Then after taking one good look at her she watched him press a button that brought down the top of the car, "convertible"
She gasped as the top came down and Sasuke started to drive, speeding recklessly over the speed limit towards the outskirts of the city.
'OH MY KAMI WE'RE GONNA DIE!' thought Hinata in reference to Sasuke's driving skills as he swerved onto the roads and sped up around the other honking cars.
"So..," she heard Sasuke say, "Where's your school?"
"Um" she squeaked, "just drop me off at 12 Kent Rd"
She watched him nod his head when she took a peak at him, and squirmed as he sped down the street to their destination.
When they arrived he looked around but saw no school, so he looked back at her for an explanation as he watched her pick up her bag.
"Hinata? Where's your school" he asked.
She slowed down her packing and looked at him guiltily before she bit into her lower lip.
"My school is actually a block from here" she said as she played with the zipper on her bag.
She watched as comprehension dawned on him, and he glared at her slightly.
"You're embarrassed to be seen with me" he said in an even voice.
Stunned at the conclusion that he had derived from the situation she quick shook her head, signifying that that was not the case. Gently she placed her hand on his arm to regain his attention. "Look Sasuke," she began, "the last time I was in school, I ran out and never came back. And today, I'm going back wearing a man's shirt. That by itself will keep the rumor mill spinning for a while. If I get dropped off by a guy in an expensive, and very, very beautiful sports car, that will just let everyone think that I'm easier than they already will think."
She looked down as she made her reason for having him drop her off a block away known.
"I understand," she heard him say and she lifted her head up and smiled at him, both grateful and relieved that he understood why, "but if you just agreed to help me get my revenge I could easily help you get yours too."
She sighed softly and looked at him " I gotta go Sasuke," she said before she smiled, " but it was nice meeting you."
She smiled at him once more as she started to get out of the car but stopped once she felt him put his hand on her shoulder "Wait" he said.
She paused as he slid his hand down to her arm and gently pulled her back inside the car.
"What is it?" she asked as she sat back down.
He didn't reply, instead he grabbed a black sharpie and pulled up the sleeve of her shirt.
"What are you doing Sasuke?" she asked she he proceeded to write down his phone number on her arm.
"I'm giving you my number," he answered before looking up at her, "should you feel the urge to run away or hurt yourself, or help me get revenge; even if it's just to talk. Call that number and I'll answer."
She smiled at him as she looked down at the ten numbers that tied her to him. "Thanks a lot Sasuke," she said before wrapping her arms around his neck. She smiled when he felt him kiss her forehead before she got out of his car to walk the rest of the way to school.
Sasuke's POV
His heart clenched tightly as she left his car and walked towards her school. 'Keep it together man," he said to himself, 'this won't be the last you see of her. From what she told you about her life, all you need to do is wait patiently.'
Steeling his resolve to wait, Sasuke Slowly turned away from her and drove off in the opposite direction, all the while the words 'wait patiently' rang in his head like a mantra.
