Spiral's Alliance chapter 14!
Start!!!!
"M-Maeko, don't make me do this. O-Or at least let me change into something a little more decent!!!!! AHHH!!!" I pleaded to Maeko as she dragged me out of the car. Ino, too. My pleas were unheeded as I was continued to be dragged into the raging night club. "Then at least let me walk with my dignity!" I stood on my feet and walked with them to the door, guarded by a large man with black shades and clothes.
"It's alright, Takune. These are my friends." Ino told the guy, like she's been here many times. So that's what she does when she's not at home or out with Shika. We all walked inside the nightclub, known as the Overdrive, with me trying to cover my legs of course. There were many guys—hot guys—staring at us. I smiled meekly and followed my two friends to the bar. I took out my purse and got a drink—with my FAKE I.D.
"I'll take a strawberry daiquiri." I told him.
"I.D, please." I showed it to him and he nodded (children, NEVER DO THIS!!!!!!!!). He made me my drink and handed it to me while I gave him the 20. After drinking it, I was a bit flustered. I guess I was done. I looked around and saw Ino and Maeko were dancing with other people. I asked for a glass of water afterwards and gulped down on the whole thing. I just sat there, not doing anything. I sighed and shot my head up as I heard a voice.
"Would you like to dance?" the voice asked. I looked up and saw a familiar face.
"T-Takuma-san?!" I recognized immediately.
"Hai, it's me. How are you?" He smiled at me. I returned the smile.
"I'm doing fine. How are you?"
"I'm fine. So…would you like to dance?" He asked me, holding out his hand. I took it and he lead us to the dance floor. "Ride on" by TVXQ came on. And we grinded to the music. Takuma looked at me incredulously that I could move like that.
"What?" I asked genuinely confused.
"I just didn't know you could move like that."
"There's a lot you don't know about me." I smiled to him. I think that the daiquiri is definitely taking its effects on me. We danced some more and suddenly, I felt hands grab my fore arms and I was thrust towards a rock hard—yet soft—chest.
"Itai…" I murmured as I rubbed my forehead. "Oi, you work out too much!" I yelled to the guy that did this to me. I looked up and saw Sasuke holding me.
"Mind if I cut in, Takuma?" He knows who Takuma is too!
"Not at all. I didn't know that she was taken." He walked away before I could tell him otherwise.
"What do you want, Sasu?" I asked him, still rubbing my head. He chuckled.
"You finally called me Sasu—after such a long time." He looked down at me. I gave him a questioning look.
"So? I'm pretty out of it right now, anyways." I shrugged, continuing to dance to the new song that came on, "Your Gravitation" from the anime Shakugan no Shana.
"I see…So…Your birthday is coming up soon, huh?" He continued to sway to the music with Hinata, getting closer every second. Hinata looked back up at him.
"You remembered!" She yelled some what happily. He smiled back at him.
"Hai, we should go look for a birthday gift tomorrow. You know I have terrible shopping skills." They both chuckled. Forever Love by TVXQ started playing. Couples started gathering together to slow dance. Both of them took a step closer to each other and started dancing together, slowly and skillfully.
"A-Anou, Sasu-kun?" hinata stuttered out from being so close to him.
"Hmm?" He answered, leaning his head on hers.
"I'm sorry for missing your birthday." She was now leaning on his chest.
"It's okay. We're making up for it." They danced together for a long time.

"Guys, I'm going to go shopping with Sasuke! I'll be back later and call if you need!" Hinata yelled as she ran out the door.
"Hinata!" Sasuke called out to me as I ran to the food court, where we were meeting. I reached him and breathed in. I was in a rush this morning because I woke up at 11 AM and I was supposed to meet Sasuke at 11:30 AM.
"Sorry I'm late. I woke up kinda…not on the bright side." I gave him a lopsided grin. Okay, Naruto his rubbing off on me.
"Do you want to get something to eat first, or do you want to shop then eat?" He asked.
"Shop then eat," I answered surely. We walked around the mall some till I got to a store that I loved.
"Get anything you want, as much as you want." He told me as I looked around for things that interested me.
"Are you sure? Some of these prices are a bit over the top." I informed him, looking at a grey polka-dotted dress that cost 13,767 yen (currency counters people!). He only shook his head.
"We're making up for lost time here." He assured me. It's funny. He acts different when he's around me, like he's always happy. I don't know, maybe it's just that alcohol from last night, catching up with me.
"Then, I get to buy you stuff too!" I somewhat teased him, only I was being serious.
"That would be like buying your own gifts. It can wait till next year." He pushed. I knew he wouldn't let me so I gave up with it and decide to do it next year.
"Fine…" I huffed. "You suck, Sasu-kun." He stuck his tongue out at me. See what I mean? I just stuck mine out too.
We went through the whole day, shopping and shopping…and more shopping. We would take the occasional rest, but still it was so much shopping. I think I went into practically every single store in this overly sized mall, which is, by the way, 4 STORIES! My legs hurt and I am getting a decent workout with my arms from carrying all my bags. I probably had about 25 to 30 bags. That's what you get for not letting me buy you anything! You get wiped out. But, hey, he's a movie star and we haven't even gotten paid for doing the movie yet. We get paid next week… I think.
"Hey, Sasuke? Are you sure that this is okay? I mean, I could return all of it, you know?" I asked unsure of my decisions as we walked along.
"Yeah, definitely. It's cool. This only cost a couple hundred…yen… Plus, we get paid next week for the movie, so yeah. Stop getting buyer's remorse." He commanded. I walked a bit faster as I saw something in one of the window sills of a store.
"H-Hinata?" He chased after me and stopped when he saw what I was looking at. There in the window, sat an adorable, sleeping, black, white, and tan Shiba Inu puppy.
"Isn't it adorable?" I asked him, my eyes shining like stars.
"…" He didn't respond and I looked at him and he was staring at the puppy and me.
"Sasuke?" I asked cautiously. Remember the last time this happened?
"Y-Yeah," He fazed back. I just stared at him.
"Are you alright?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Ah. Are you ready to go?" He asked me, a bit fazed.
"Hai! Arigatou gozaimasu, Sasu-kun!!!!" I hugged him hard. "I'm gonna go head home, okay?" I started to walk away when I noticed that Sasuke wasn't with me. I looked back and he was still standing there.
"Sasu-kun? Daijoubu desu ka? You look worried or something." He looked back at me and smiled.
"Iie, I am just gonna go a little later. I'll see you back at you're house around 8 PM, ne?" I smiled and ran and gave him a peck on the cheek and ran back to my car. AH, this has been a nice, relaxing day.

Sasuke's POV
She is so dense… I was rubbing my forehead at the moment. Hinata had just left the mall after a WHOLE day of shopping…and no fans! Okay, back to my problem. I don't know if I should get her that puppy. The way she looked at it…It just made my heart jump. I walked inside afterwards and it took me a while to come out.

Hinata's POV
The Next Day
After I came home yesterday, I immediately went to try on my new clothes. They fitted perfectly. I Loved Them! Since it was late, I picked up some food and ate it…alone. I guess Maeko and Ino had gone out to eat or do something. Well whatever. I had just woken up and gotten ready, wearing my new outfit. I walked downstairs and saw my two best friends eating breakfast.
"There's the birthday girl! Happy birthday, Hinata." Maeko congratulated me as I walked down the stairs.
"Happy Birthday, Hinata." Ino followed suite.
"Arigatou…" I answered groggily, rubbing my eye. "I'm just gonna go to the park for a while. I won't be back till later, so call if you need anything." I left without another word. I don't know why I'm so tired but, I am. So…whatever. I sat on a park bench and sat there.
"Nee-chan?" A very familiar voice came to me. I turned my head and saw my younger sister, Hanabi.
"H-Hanabi!" I jumped up and hugged her. "I haven't seen you since the banquet! How are you?!" This just made my birthday.
"I'm good. Father says that he's going to see me in my fashion show next week."
"That's great!" I hugged her again. I then looked at the time and it was past 7 PM! What was I doing!!
"Hanabi-chan, I have to go. I'll see you soon! I'll call you tomorrow!!" I ran towards the condo.
I opened the door and all the lights were out. Did they go somewhere?? I turned the light switch on.
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AH!!" I jumped so high, I think I saw God. "What the hell is wrong with you guys!?" I yelled, holding onto my chest.
"Happy birthday!!" Everyone yelled, completely ignoring my last question. I just shrugged it off and smiled.
"Arigatou!!" I went up to everyone. Some one caught my eye.
"Kurenai-sensei!" I ran up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Happy birthday, Hina-chan." She hugged me back. We let go of each other and she gave me a small box. I took it and carefully took off the ribbon that was on it. I smiled shortly and I could feel tears start to come to my eyes.
"That was…your mother's. She told me to give this to you." I could tell she felt uncomfortable seeing me cry so freely. I wiped my eyes and looked at the gift, again. There, in my palms, resting freely and glowing as bright as a shining star; a violet pendant in the shape of a star. My mother always wore this. She let me wear it once and I dropped it by mistake. I had almost shattered. I cried for days with thoughts on what might have happened to it. Then, she came and comforted me.
"Okaa-san…" I murmured silently to myself. I heard the door to the condo open and I looked behind me.
"Otou-san!" My eyes widened.
"Happy birthday, Hinata." He walked up to me, high and mighty. His hand came out from under his robe and there again, was another box. I took it and started to cry once more. Why were they giving me these things?! I'm not the one that resembles mother! Hanabi is! I look more like Otou-san!
"Why are you giving me this?" I fingered the picture frame with the picture of all four of us at a picnic long ago. When I was about ten years of age. I had made a mess everywhere. To repay mother for all the worries that happened, I gave her a drawing and this picture and frame. The drawing is in her grave with her. She held it with her when she died. I am the only one that knows exactly what happened and it still frightens me to this day. What could possibly happen to me if I go out alone? I don't know…
I did something that I have never done before. I jumped into father's arms and hugged him tight. Even as an infant, I have never hugged my father with so much emotion, with so much value in my heart. He did the same. He hugged me back. I was sure everyone was staring but I didn't care. Today was my day and that was all that mattered to me. My eyes wept with tears of joy and happiness.
Okaa-san…I miss you…
