Pernodare

Chapter 11

This is not the first time this happened… their marriage is slipping away, he knew it. Yet, he's letting it happen. This time, she might never come back to him…

Sasuke covered his face with his palm… this is the right choice isn't it? He deserved what's happening… but it hurts… he didn't know what pained him… he's male-pride for the fact that this time, it's she who left him? His ego… or is it because he loves her and he always thought that Hinata would never leave him which she just did?

Those words... what Hinata have said… it hit a spot. She never knew he loves her but… she stayed with him… she even told him she loves him… Hinata has always been waiting for him, she is not tainted… but he wanted to find a fault in his wife… she seemed to be so damned perfect that every single thing seemed to be his fault, and he wanted to blame her…

Sasuke drank what's left of the sake in the house; he needs Karin right now… she's always there for him… If Hinata wanted to leave him, then he'll let her, this time, when she comes back he won't welcome her back; open arms to let her in the house… yes, she'll e back, he just knew it… besides… she always does…

"Do not let her enter this place ever again" the red-haired Kazekage told the owner of the pub, more like commanded… yes, he won't let what has happened to ever happen again, besides… what if she comes back and drink in this place… who knows? Some other men might take advantage of her…

"I c-can't do t-that…" the owner of the pub trembled in fear, who won't be? A kazekage glaring dagger at you would make any man pee his pants.

"Hn. Why?" Gaara eyed the man with much distaste; it won't be long till this man faints…

"She p-payed a l-lot…"

"I'll double it. Just never let her enter this place again."

"y-you see… s-she didn't give m-money… a-and…"

"Show me." This time Gaara paid some interest, of course, what would Hinata give this man that he couldn't deny her entry in this pub…

The man opened his drawer with some keys, finally, taking out the ring… let's just say, the cost would be able to make two pubs even be larger than this one…

Gaara seemed to be in thought for a moment, when he came to a conclusion that this is Hinata's wedding ring, he answered the man "I'll double the price of that, in return, I don't want you letting her enter here, and I want that ring." Gaara knew this is not a very smart exchange, he could simply scare the hell out of this man and be on with it, but… he couldn't endanger the treaty…

The man nodded frantically… besides, he could never make use of that ring, unless he wants his head rolling on the grounds… it belonged to the Uchiha…

With that, the deal is done.

Hinata woke up with her head throbbing… what happened? She then remembered… yeah, she left home… Sasuke… she didn't really know what happened after that…

She looked around her, the place looked familiar… Gaara's place… suddenly, everything came rushing back to her, she looked at herself, she's only wearing her undergarments… then suddenly, tears started to crept out of her eyes… did she just prove Sasuke right?

So many consequences would happen if people find out… she'll be in major humiliation, Sasuke would never want her back and the Hyuuga name would be disgraced… everything… and how about Gaara? This would affect his welfare too… she couldn't blame him; she practically threw herself on him…

In our society, this is the most unfair, injustice between a man and a woman…

When a man cheats on his wife, it's either the people would pity the woman or blames her; pity since she's not enough; blame for she couldn't put hold onto her husband.

When a woman cheats on a man, voluntarily or not, people would name her a whore. That she's a loose woman.

The world isn't fair after all…

Hinata knew this… but she couldn't help but blame herself…

--

Sasuke walked towards Karin's house, people are eyeing him much to his distaste, the nerve of them, and they are even whispering behind his back, no, he could see them…

Suddenly, someone punched his face…

--

Gaara went back to his apartment with a pack of medicine for headaches, apparently he didn't notice people talking behind his back… well, how could he, he is busy thinking of Hinata…

Gaara arrived in his apartment seeing a crying Hinata… she looked at him in the eye, as if asking something… she didn't have to ask, he already knew what she's trying to say…

"Last night, we didn't…" Gaara told her as he closed the door and went to get some water... she hadn't stood from the bed, then he handed her the medicine and water

"A-arigatou…" Hinata answered him as she took the medicine from him.

"What happened?" Gaara asked her

"It's o-over… I didn't mean to… b-but he…" Hinata said as she stifled her sobs…

Gaara looked at her, he didn't know what to tell her at that kind of a moment, but trying to lighten her up, he spoke.

"You stink…"

Hinata looked at him confused…

"Take a bath… you reek…." Gaara crinkled his nose.

Hinata giggled, it looks so funny specially Gaara doing that… although she really do reeks… it's like an insult, yet, not an insult… she then nodded her head.

"b-but I d-don't have clothes…" Hinata answered him, remembering the first time she woke up in this house… funny; it's so similar, the way she winds up in here…

"Hn. Wear mine…" Gaara answered as he threw her some clothes.

Hinata smiled and nodded as she went inside the bathroom.

This event might seem really cute, but Gaara is in deep thought… he would bring Hinata to the Hyuuga compound later… her family must know of her situation…

If only he knew…

The Hyuugas are in a mess right now…

--R&R--

I'm ending the chapter her… yeah I know, it's really short and is ended as a cliffie… but hey!! I'm having exams now, well for my summer class at least, and Accounting is not a subject to laugh at…
