The party room was a huge room with everything that you could possibly need to go to a party!

"Hey, Mako-chan! Come here!" Hinata called out to me. I was going to be moving in with Ino and her tomorrow, after the party. Walking over to here, I saw her holding up a stunning black dress. It was an off the shoulders type of dress. There were ribbons around the waist and at the hem of the dress. All I could do was stare. "You don't like it?" She asked unsure of her choice for me.

"N-no, I love it! It's beautiful!" I lifted my hand to touch it. The fabric felt as soft as a cloud. I heard rustling behind one of the three curtains that occupied half of the left side of the wall. Finally, Ino came out.

"Why?" Hinata instantly asked when she saw the hideous dress that Ino was wearing. I mean…How did they even acquire that…thing?! She was wearing a tie-dye halter-dress that flared out like a mermaid at the bottom and had disconnected sleeves…and connected boots! It may not sound bad, but trust me, when you actually see it, you will die from the ugliness. Ino looked at herself.

"What? I like it!" She smiled. It looked as if she was trying to contain her laughter.

"Ino-chan," I laughed out, "Y-You…" I couldn't even finish the sentence before I bawled out the ground, laughing like a maniac. Soon after, I heard Ino thump on the ground, joining me in my bawl of laughter. I tried my hardest to stop but that just made me laugh harder. From my peripheral vision, I could see that Hinata was looking at us like we were insane. But who could blame her, I know we're insane! I saw movement with my blurred vision. I wiped the forming tears away and saw Hinata was ignoring our idiocy and continued to look for a dress.

"Ino, try this one on, so you don't look like a complete and utter idiot." She rubbed her temples. She was holding a light lavender dress. It had spaghetti straps that crossed in the back. The straps were about an inch thick with sequins on the straps. It fit her quite well, actually. It accentuated her eyes more.Hinata had picked one nicely for herself. It was a black, one strap formal gown, jeweled strap, fitted at the waist, falls to the knee, gathered at the bust. We all went into the dressing rooms and changed into the dress. We all came out at the same time.

"How do I look?" All of us asked each other in unison.

"Amazing," Hinata said.

"You look awesome!" Ino screamed.

"Gorgeous, as per usual!" I told them, and we acted as if we were at the Grammy's, saying our thank yous and such. Hinata looked at her watch and gasped.

"Damn, it's already 6:30!" She screamed out.

"Then hurry up, so we can get our make-up and stuff

done!" Ino yelled and pushed us through another pair of doors. "Mo, just how big is this condo anyway??!!!" They both looked at me.

"Just a couple of acres," They smirked.

We all got out hair done. Ino's was put up high, with a lot of hair spray. Hinata had hers in a sexy, elegant turn bun. I had mine in a low and loose ponytail. Right when we finished, I heard a buzz. I wanted to answer it and they let me. I ran to the little talky machine and pressed the button.

"Hello?" I asked in a sweet voice.

"Are you guys ready or what? Kiba and Shikamaru are getting ready to kill me if I don't hurry it up already!!" Sasuke screamed on the other line.

"Wakateru, we're on our way!" I yelled out annoyed at his behavior. I heard him sigh before he took his finger off of the talk button.

"Yo, guys! Sasuke's getting ready for a stick up his ass!" I yelled out to them. They came running my way with handbags in there hands. Ino had two and gave one to me. It matched my dress and when I looked inside, all my stuff was already inside.

"I really don't want to go to their party…" Hinata groaned.

"Oh, get over it. We promised Sasuke that we would go." I told her. She grudgily walked over to the door and opened it, mumbling some incoherent words as she did so. She opened the door to see Sasuke staring at her warily.

"Ready?" He asked unsurely. That wasn't like him. At least, that wasn't the Sasuke that I knew. Hinata pushed passed him and completely ignored him. I guess she was still mad at him for what Naruto said. It doesn't make sense that Sasuke would do that…especially at a banquet that he's planning…hmm. We went down the elevator and saw Kiba and Shikamaru standing there, waiting for us. I instantly forgot about the problem and ran into Kiba's arms. He hugged me back tightly.

"Hey, stranger," He whispered to me.

"Hey yourself; you clean up well." I poked his nose. We all got into the limo and I pondered over the thought some more. I got it! I whispered to Ino and she nodded. She was about to lean over and whisper the payback plan to Hinata but the limo stopped and Sasuke and Hinata got out of the limo.

"Hina--" I cut myself off. I thought it would be best if she just thought it be Sasuke for now.

"Ino, should I have told her?" I asked very unsure of my decisions.

"Too early to say," She didn't really assure me with that answer. I just nodded and let Kiba lead me inside. We walked inside and I gasped.

It was beautiful! The walls were Ivory white with beautiful sculptures and paintings covering the rooms. On the ceiling, was a huge glass chandelier that glowed lighter than the moon itself.

-!BOOM!-

I looked in the direction as to where the crash had come from. Two twin girls, each of which had extremely beautiful ivory hair that went to their mid-back, came running from that direction, giggling madly. I bent down to their level.

"Banji mashite," I smiled at them. They looked at each other and nodded. They then turned back to face me and bowed.

"Banji mashite, Onee-sama." They said sweetly to me.

"What's your name?" I kept my smile. It was genuine.

"Uchiha Aiko," said one with white outlined glasses.

"Uchiha Aika," said the one without the glasses.

"Saitou, Maeko." I held out my hand and they took it with gratitude. "How old are you?"

"7," they both said at the same time. That was so cute!

"Well…was that booming your doing?" I raised my eyebrows at them and their faces turned a pale white. I smiled once again. "Don't worry; I'm no tattle-tale." They let out a breath that they had un-willingly been holding. "But I do need you to do something, since you two seem to be prodigies." I motioned them to come closer and I whispered my plan into their ears. They nodded ecstatically.

"So…thanks for coming." Sasuke had said to Hinata while they took the first dance. A long time favorite; the tango. Hinata ignored him. While she was about to do another move, he stuck his foot out in front of her and she tripped. Sasuke grabbed her waist and spun her around into a turn, so it looked like he meant to do that. While he spun her, he could see Hinata's death glare, boring into his dark black orbs. As she was spun back into his grasp, she stomped on his toe with her heel.

"What the hell was that?" She hissed at him. He didn't have a chance to answer. Suddenly, a bright light shone upon the two. They looked at where the light was coming from and saw Maeko urging them to continue. So... they continued, much to Hinata's dismay.

"I'm not the one angry."

"Oh really? You tripping me isn't a sign of anger?" Hinata said sarcastically.

"And you stepping on my toe isn't a sign of you being pissed off?" He retorted.

"I never said I wasn't." They continued to dance.

"Why are you mad at me?"

"You know why."

"No, I don't."

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying." He told truthfully. Hinata scoffed.

"Whatever. And here I thought, 'the mighty Uchiha Sasuke had changed.' What a fool I have been." She said the last part to herself. Unfortunately, her companion has very good hearing.

"How have you been a fool?" He asked.

"N-nothing. It's nothing."

"Liar," He huffed.

"I'm not lying. W-wait a minute, I'm the one doin' the questioning here!" Sasuke spun her around. The light followed them around, without letting the pair go a second with out it.

"Why are you mad at me? I though everything was fine with us."

"They were. Until I heard about you and Yukiko trying to embarrass Maeko, Ino, and me," She explained bitterly.

"W-What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." She glared at him harder.

"No, I don't. I really don't." Hinata could sense the truth in his words.

"Then, who could Naruto have mistaken your name for?" Hinata pondered, sill dancing professionally.

"You know that we can stop anytime, right?"

"Oh…" Hinata blushed and they did one last turn before stopping. Hinata and Sasuke breathed in heavily, since they were dancing for a tops of 10 minutes straight! Everyone clapped gallantly for the couple. They both bowed and walked out of the spotlight, still panting heavily.

"Sakura! That's why she wanted to be my friend all of a sudden!" Hinata concluded. She looked around and saw Sakura in a delicate light pink dress with Yukiko by her side clad in a semi- revealing blood red tube dress. Hinata was getting ready to walk over there and give Sakura and Yukiko the beating of their lives, when a strong hand gripped over her small wrist. She looked back and saw Sasuke staring at her.

"Don't do it now. Take a walk with me in the garden." He cocked his head in some direction. Hinata blushed and nodded reluctantly. She didn't want to go, but something inside his voice…was it longing? She could not decide.

"Sasuke, where are we going?" She asked before she was brought to a beautiful garden filled with all kinds of flowers. All different kinds, from Acacias to Zinnias. "Oh, my gosh. It's beautiful!" She looked around the room, spinning, taking in every scent as she did so.

"Do you like it?" Sasuke asked…almost longingly.

"I love it," She inhaled the beautiful smell and stared out at the visible white full moon, staring at her from afar.

"Hinata…" Hinata turned around and saw Sasuke right in front of her.

"S-Sasuke! Mo, you scared me. You don't have to scare me like that." Sasuke did not reply. He stared at her with more intensity. His dark pools of black devoured her lavender tinted ponds of innocence. "S-Sasuke, you're scaring me. Daijoubu desu ka?" Hinata asked, feeling his forehead. His eyes closed at her soft touch.

"Hinata…" She took her hand off immediately.

"Sasuke, you're burning up! Let's get you some water." She offered. Sasuke didn't budge. "Sasuke…" He walked towards her, dazed. Hinata backed up. They did that for several steps until Hinata heard a rustle of leaves behind her. Sasuke took one more step so that his forehead was touching hers. "Sasuke, what are you doing?" He didn't respond. He only brought his face closer to hers, his smell, his lips, his breath, all mixing together as one with hers.

She didn't stop him. She didn't want to. She knew he was sick and yet, it felt as if he was doing all this on his own will power. He tasted of caramel. He smelt of sakura blossoms. His lips soft on hers. He felt right. They broke apart and Sasuke stared at her. His eyes slowly closed and he fell into her arms.

"S-Sasuke!?" She caught him, though almost dropping him, due to weight differences. She felt his forehead once again. He had cooled down some, but was still burning up. She decided it was best not to disturb anyone and just take care of him out here.

How she new nothing of the well behind the garden wasn't a big help to her situation. She found it soon after she heard Sasuke mumble something incoherent. She found a bucket next to it and fished out some water. She then ripped some of her dress, no big deal; she had extras made a long time ago. Then, she folded the cloth and dipped it in water, took it out, squeezed it of any excess water, and put it gently on his forehead. Soon after, his eyes slowly fluttered opened.

"What…happened?" She thought to herself whether or not she should tell him about what he did while he was dazed out of his mind.

"I…don't know. I found you out here passed out." She lied. Sasuke coughed.

"You should go get some rest. I'll ask your father to postpone naming heir and tell him that I threatened you to go to bed." She smiled. He chuckled. She slowly helped Sasuke to his feet, only to almost have him fall down again. She felt his forehead once again. It was still hot, but it had cooled down some. They both arrived inside his room without anyone noticing them, surprisingly, since there were over a thousand people in the house!

"When you throw a party," She chuckled, "You really throw one." She looked back at the bed she had helped him into and he was already set into a peaceful sleep. She walked over to him and saw a strand of hair in his face and gently put it behind his ear. "Oyasumi-nasai, Sasu-kun." She silently walked out of the room, closing the door as quietly as she could, which was quite hard since she was wearing heels on a hardwood floor.

She walked over to a room labeled, 'Office,' and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." A strong, firm voice commanded. Hinata opened the door cautiously and walked inside, closing the door once again.

"Banji Mashite, Uchiha-sama," She bowed to her elder and sat down on the mat in front of his desk.

"Hyuuga Hinata. What do I owe this pleasure?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Ano, Uchiha-sama, I would like to ask if you would be kind enough to postpone naming heir to the Uchiha company."

"And why do you ask this of me, Hyuuga-san?" He asked almost dismissively.

"Because Sasuke has fallen ill and is in need of rest." She told him. He looked at her with curiosity.

"Where is my youngest son, now?" He questioned.

"Ano…He's in his room, sleeping. I encouraged him rest, for I was the one that found him in the gardens, unconscious." Fugaku arose from his state of sitting and stood next to Hinata.

"Show me." He commanded. Hinata stood up.

"Hai," She walked out the door and into the direction of Sasuke's room. She opened the door and saw Sasuke still sleeping in his bed, only he was sweating and breathing harshly.

"Sasuke!" Fugaku yelled, coming by his youngest son.

"I will take my leave." Hinata said quietly. She opened the door and closed it.

"If only, I could tell him…I love him again." Hinata slid down the door, sobbing inside her hand. She stood up and ran out of the house. Ino and Maeko caught glimpse of her.

"Hinata!?" They yelled out together and chased after her. Maeko went back to the twins that were standing there, aw stricken.

"Keep the plan and use it, even though I have to leave, alright?" She smiled at the two devious twins. They nodded and bowed to their new friend.

"And remember, I'm only a phone call away, so maybe we can hang out tomorrow or something, okay?"

"Hai!" The both said in sync.

"Oyasumi-Nasai!" Maeko ran away to find her friends.

"Hinata?!" Maeko caught up with both Ino and Hinata. They all got into their limo and drove home.
