Hinata woke-up with a start, courtesy of an odd bouncing creature in her bed. The said creature was yelling and pulling the soft warm cozy covers off of her.
"WAKE-UP SLEEPY HEAD!! WAKE-UP NOW OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE!!" Hanabi yelled as she continued to yank the covers off of her elder sister who's still unwilling to depart from the comforts of her bed.
"What consequence are you talking about Hanabi?" She asked groggily muffled by the pillow onto where she buried her head in an attempt to block Hanabi's yelling .
"WELL HELLO!! LIKE OH, HERE COMES THE BRIDE IN HER CASUALS!! DEAR GOD!! HINATA I SWEAR IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WAKE-UP AT THIS INSTANCE YOU'LL WALK THE AISLE IN YOUR PAJAMAS!! YOU'LL RUIN YOUR OWN WEDDING!! COME ON!! WE HAVE TO SHOP FOR DRESSES AND ACCESSORIES!!" Hanabi screamed at the top of her lungs at her sister.
Realizing what Hanabi just said she bolt-up and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. "Just give me five minutes!!"

"Ino, I don't really know if that would really suit me and besides, I don't think--" Hinata tried to talk Ino out of having her try on the purple gaudy wedding dress.
The purple dress has ruffles on the short sleeve and the entire dress is sprinkled by shiny stuffs, it's not her thing. Going out of the fitting room in the purple dress, Ino gave a disapproving shake of her head. "Hmmm… You're right this is definitely not your wedding dress…" Just then something pink and red bumped Ino out of the way, "My turn pig!! You got no style!! Here Hinata! Try this on!" She shoved in quickly in her hands a pink wedding dress and shoes, Hinata only managed to give a twitching smile.
Dear god, wedding shopping sure is a nightmare…That's all she could think about as she walked back inside the fitting room and as she closed the door she saw a glimpse of Sakura and Ino getting on each other's neck.
Hinata held out the pink gown… It was unique and modern style, she guessed. It was definitely not your typical wedding gown. The gown fell right above her knees, the shade of pink was rose pink and it has artificial rose buds sewn in the hem and in the off shoulder sleeves.
I am so not wearing this…
And as she walk-out of the fitting room for what was like a hundred tries, Sakura gave her an approving nod and Ino shook her head in disapproval.
"Perfect!" Sakura squealed
"What are you talking about billboard head?! That's not Hinata at all! Rose pink and Showy! That gown is too loud for her!! NO! NO! NO!"
"And what do you suggest us to do pig?!"
Ino was quiet, she still wishes to insist Hinata to wear the one she picked.
"Well, let's just let her pick whatever she likes!!" Tenten said growing impatient of the two. She slowly faced Hinata, smiling she said, "Don't mind us Hinata, choose your wedding dress and choose well, you'll only get married once…"
"Well, in her case, since her father will let lose all hell if she'll ever divorce Sasuke and get married again…" Sakura interjected.
"YEAH! That's right! Let Nee-sama pick her own dress, so could you two please do shut-up now? I think my eardrums would explode any moment now!" Hanabi said completely ignoring Sakura's comment.
For what seemed like hours Hinata walked the entire boutique and then, something caught her eye. A beautiful snow white gown, it has an elegant embroidery pattern that stretches from the top to the very hem, and the embroidery itself has tiny pearls studded on them. The sleeves were off-shoulders and are made of lace; well it was see through something so lace, I guess. The top was sweetheart cut. She picked it and went to the fitting room.
"Hinata-neesama? Are you finished? Look what we found for you! A tiara and a veil!" She heard Hanabi's voice from the outside and she slowly opened the fitting room's door and as she did, she heard gasps from her friends.
"Well, what do you think?" She asked meekly with a slight blush tinting her pale cheeks.
"Now, THAT is definitely your wedding dress!" Ino said enthusiastically.
"You look breathtaking! Sasuke sure is one lucky bastard." Tenten said in awe.
"You're one stunning bride; actually, so far you're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen…" Sakura said honestly.
"Neesama! You're so beautiful! Here, a veil and tiara, it will match that dress of yours." Hanabi said enthusiastically.

I've never realized what a tiring activity shopping is until this day. Hinata thought as she sat in the café exhausted from shopping.
"Okay, we have dresses for my three bridesmaids, Tenten, Ino and Sakura. A gown for my dear made of honour, namely, my beloved younger sister Hanabi." Hinata said, confirming whether she forgot something.
"The flowers would be from our shop! All taken care of!" Ino said.
"We already have the accessories too, everything's fixed." Tenten said.
"We'll take charge of your hair and make-up tomorrow, no need to worry!" Sakura beamed at Hinata.
Hinata sighed, glad that everything has been done.
"Hanabi, I know you hate wearing dresses but try to smile tomorrow." She said softly to her younger sibling.
"Of course I will. The only reason I hate wearing those dresses is because their purpose is to have the boys' attentions in you, and that's one petty reason. However, tomorrow is different since it's my sister's wedding." She explained her side.
"Okay, now that everything is done, it's time for a little girl talk with the bride. Hanabi If you feel like going somewhere else, I wouldn't stop you." Ino said
"Nope! I'm staying, I want to hear whatever my sister has to say."
"So, Hinata do you love Sasuke?" Sakura ask.
"Geez, Sakura! Straight to the point, huh?" Ino asked raising an eyebrow.
"Shut it guys. It's more like it, straight to the point." Tenten said
"So, neesama, do you love Sasuke?" Hanabi asked and everyone was quiet, all awaiting her answer.
"Well," Hinata started stirring her coffee and taking a little sip, "I actually don't know… I'm not sure…"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT SURE! COME ON, WE'RE HERE! WE'LL LISTEN SO JUST SPILL IT SO WE COULD SORT THINGS OUT!!" Ino exploded.
Every head looked towards their table and Ino gave an apologetic bow.
"Way to go pig."
"Shut it."
"Well, Hinata what do you mean? Can you elaborate?" Tenten asked taking a sip of her mocha coffe.
"Well, I mean… It's like, no, it's more like I feel it. I mean… When he's sad, I feel like staying with him and crying with him, and when he's happy I feel like laughing with him… Ugh… I don't know… All I know is that I need to be right beside him no matter what even if he pushes me away, I'll find a way to stay with him, so he'll never be alone again..." And as she finished, she looked at the four before her and they have unshed tears in their eyes.
"Oh my god! Hinata! You ARE in LOVE!" Ino said as he hugged the girl.
"So noble! I don't know if I could love anyone the way you love that bastard." Tenten said wiping her eyes.
"My god Hinata , I'm sorry… I never thought you felt for him that way… I'm really sorry…" Sakura said softly.
"Sorry for what Sakura?" Hinata asked Sakura touching her hand.
Looking down Sakura replied, "I-I did terrible things and thought of terrible things too, Just know I'm sorry for everything. I truly am." Looking up she grabbed her hands into hers and looked squarely into his eyes, "I knew him evr since like forever, so...How could you love him more?"
"I don't know… There are no words… I guess, I mean, If I could explain it, then it wouldn't be love, because love is meant to be unexplainable…"
--
She laid her tired body in her bed, ready to retire for the night but her thoughts drifted somewhere, and that certain somewhere is to Sasuke.
Sasuke…
So, I guess I really am in love with you…
I want to stand by your side…
Laugh with you when you're happy,
Cry with you when you're sad,
And stay with you when everyone else leaves…
Yes, I do love you…
BUT
What do you feel towards me?
Do you feel the same?
Do you love me?
Better yet, do you even feel anything for me?!
With those thought she panicked and she stand away from her bed.
I LOVE SASUKE BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE FEELS FOR ME!!
How if he doesn't love me?!
How if he hates me?!
How if he really do hate me?!
How if he feels nothing at all for me?!
Those thoughts caused emotional turmoil inside her. She couldn't answer any questions, frustration was taking its toll in her already tired mind and she did the only thing she could think of at the moment…
She run-off…
