P/N: I got some great feed back for the last chapter so that makes me very happy! Lots of you were like I didn't see a step-mom coming so I think I got my element of surprise with that one. Oh just so you know something similar to Hinata happened to me with my father. Except my father isn't rich, owns his own buisness but isn't rich, but my step-witch is asian so yea. Um so enough about me please read on!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did then there would be flying monkeys and not so many god damn episodes. Are there flying primates in the show? Are there less than 100 episodes? No? Then I guess I don't own it then now do I?

Chapter 14: When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Grape Juice

Hinata found herself in her room with a wet towel over her forehead. She looked over towards her window and saw the moon and stars shining through the blinds. Obviously she'd fainted again, but how long had she been out? She started to calculate the time from when she and Sasuke ditched school to now but her thoughts were interrupted by someone entering her room. At the door stood a woman who looked vaguely familiar: shoulder length black hair, green eyes, very young looking...her new step-mom. The woman smiled kindly down at Hinata and took a seat on the edge of her bed.

"You must've been very surprised to know that I was your mother now, no?" the woman asked and Hinata looked down at her sheets trying to remember her name.

"Well I guess we got off on the wrong foot. I never imagined that I would have one daughter at twenty-two let alone two! I'm barely the legal drinking age! Umm...my name is Mitsuki Rio...well Mitsuki Hyuga now!" the woman thought aloud and Hinata shivered. She didn't know which was worse, her father suddenly remarrying without telling her, or him getting married to a woman only a few years older than her. What was her father thinking? At that moment Hinata's door was opened yet again, this time to reveal a pissed off Hanabi.

"Oh! I see you're having quality time with our new "mother", Hinata." Hanabi sneered and added extra malice on the word mother.

"I guess you could call it quality time, dear. Hinata just fainted and I came in to check on her and make sure that she was okay." Mitsuki smiled and Hanabi rolled her eyes and leaned against Hinata's closet door.

"Miss M-m-mitsuki-" Hinata started but Mitsuki stopped her.

"Oh dear! Don't call me miss! I'm your mother now, call me mom." Mitsuki smiled but her cheery facade was shaken by Hanabi slamming her fist into the closet door and giving the woman a very hateful look.

"WE ARE NOT YOUR, DEARS! AND YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT OUR MOTHER! OUR MOTHER IS DEAD! SO DON'T GET IT TWISTED, BITCH!" Hanabi yelled and Mitsuki covered her mouth in shock.

"Little girl! How dare you speak to me like that! I think somebody needs a nap!" Mitsuki spoke to Hanabi like she was a five year old and even Hinata gave her a strange look.

"Look, trix, I don't know who you think you are but you do not belong here. You will never belong here so just LEAVE!" Hanabi pinched the bridge of her nose and Mitsuki stood up.

"I know my place, little bitch. You need to learn yours. So back off." Mitsuki hissed and Hanabi crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well at least I'm not screwing my father."

"You're right. I'm screwing your father. And you know what? He will say yes to whatever I say as long as I put out for him. So that means if I want to ship you off to a boarding school in Guatemala you better bring some bug spray, honey!" Mitsuki snapped, leaving two dumbstruck teens in her wake. Hanabi kicked Hinata's closet door with all her might before storming out of the room and slamming the door behind her.

Hinata knew that Hanabi was right. That woman was not their mother and she never would be. Hinata got out of bed, got some pajamas, and went to take a long shower to relieve some of the stress that was building up inside. She got dressed and when she opened her bathroom door, she saw Sasuke on her bed just like last Saturday. Hinata sighed and climbed into bed next to him. Sasuke gave her a thoughtful look and she furrowed her brow. He must be thinking about something important. Hinata kissed his cheek and laid her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What's wrong Sasuke?" Hinata asked softly and there was a long silence before he answered her.

"My father ordered me to do something a while ago."Hinata closed her eyes and tried really hard not to become frustrated with his short answers that didn't answer anything. She was surprised when he spoke again.

"Since Itachi is no longer the heir, I must do things that he was supposed to do, but now I have to do them sooner."

"Like?" Hinata asked and Sasuke let out a deep breath; it was now or never.

"I have to get married." Sasuke said bluntly and waited for Hinata's reaction.

"Everyone gets married at some point so what's the big deal? Are you afraid of commitment?" Hinata asked, not really understanding the situation.

"Hinata. You're not listening. I have to get married when I turn nineteen. My birthday is in June." Hinata immediately shot up.

"W-w-what?" Hinata stuttered and Sasuke sat up as well.

"I need to find a bride soon." Sasuke muttered, not looking Hinata in the eye.

"So, so you're breaking up with m-m-me to find someone your father will...approve of?" Hinata asked softly trying not to cry. Hot tears escaped her eyes and slid silently down her cheeks, anyway.Sasuke was, dare he admit it, shocked by her reaction. He didn't think that she would cry, but then again this was Hinata he was dealing with. Sasuke pulled Hinata into his lap and wrapped her legs around his waist. She wouldn't look him in the eyes so he roughly tugged at her chin to force her to look at him.

"Hinata, I'm not breaking up with you." Sasuke said and Hinata glared at him.

Her eyes widened."I'm not going to be your girl on the side, either." Hinata hissed and Sasuke just wondered how dense she really was.

"You're being ridiculous. You're not going to be my "woman on the side" either."

Hinata slightly tilted her head to the side in confusion, why was Sasuke beating around the bush?

"Hinata Hyuga. I am asking you to become my wife." Sasuke said and Hinata promptly kissed him.The kiss caught him completely off guard so he fell back onto the bed with Hinata on top of him. Sasuke quickly gathered himself and kissed Hinata with rough passion. Sasuke slipped his tongue into her mouth and he traced her waistband with his hands. Hinata's breath caught in her throat as she felt his fingers tease her bellybutton. Sasuke smirked at the reaction he'd gotten out of her and let his hands wander up her shirt. Hinata loved the feeling of his hands on her body and she sucked her breath in quickly when she felt him grope her through her bra. Sasuke slowly removed her shirt and then her bra. He stared in amazement at what Hinata Hyuga had been hiding from him all these years. Hinata blushed, thinking that the look he was giving her meant that he didn't want her so she started to cover herself up with her arms but Sasuke caught her by the wrists.

"You're beautiful. Don't hide yourself from me." Sasuke whispered huskily in her. He then began kissing her collarbone. Hinata shivered with excitement and nervousness when she felt him kiss the top of one of her breast. Sasuke couldn't help but think about how soft Hinata's skin was and how nice she smelled. Hinata thought it unfair that Sasuke got to be fully clothed while she was clad only in pajama bottoms. She then slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Sasuke closed his eyes and savored the feeling of her small, gentle hands undressing him. She'd gotten the shirt fully unbuttoned now but before she could slide it off his shoulders, someone busted into her room.

"Hinata, dear! Please tell-" Mitsuki stopped when she saw the two before her.Sasuke cursed as he sat up straight and Hinata buried her beet red face into his chest. Sasuke could tell that she was trying to hide so he quickly got her shirt and put it on her. "Hinata Hyuga! I can't believe this! And here I thought at least one of my daughters was good!" Mitsuki put her hands on her hips and she was about to say more but she was interrupted by Hanabi coming up the stairs.

"WE ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTERS!!" Hanabi yelled at the woman and then looked at Hinata before turning back to Mitsuki.

"Plus Hinata can sleep with whoever she wants to! Its her body and it doesn't mean that she isn't good for doing it! Hell, I thought she would be the next Virgin Mary! Now 'mother' if you don't tell father about Hinata I promise you that I won't put mayonnaise in your lotion bottles." Hanabi folded her arms across her chest.

"You can't talk to your mother like that little missy!" Mitsuki wagged a finger at Hanabi who rolled her eyes. Hinata groaned and buried her face into Sasuke's chest.

"I can and I just did." Hanabi sneered.

As if it couldn't get any worse, Neji came into the picture.Sasuke groaned inwardly.What was up with Hinata's family? It was like one thing happens and then its a domino effect.

"What are you doing in Hinata-sama's room." Neji asked dully even though he knew the answer.

"Shut up, Neji! You know what they were going to do! And they probably would've had hot steamy sex here if this inconsiderate trix hadn't interrupted." Hanabi said as she examined her fingernails.

"Hinata-sama. Does your father know about this?" Neji said completely ignoring Hanabi.

"If her father knew then there would be security cameras everywhere and Hinata wouldn't be let out of the house without a tracer and a bodyguard." Sasuke stated and Mitsuki squealed.

"OMG!! I know who you are!! You are Sasuke Uchiha! Oh! You must tell me how Itachi is doing! I remember shaking his hand once! I have a sister and she absolutely loves him!" Mitsuki started clapping her hands together and Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"He's gay." Sasuke stated bluntly and Mitsuki stopped.

"What do you mean?" Mitsuki asked dumbly and Hanabi threw her hands into the air.

"He's a fag! A butt pirate! He bats for the home team! Fruity in the booty! He likes to taste the rainbow!" Hanabi huffed but Mitsuki's expression showed that she didn't quite get it so Neji stepped in.

"It means that Itachi likes guys. Not girls." Neji explained and Mitsuki made a big 'o' sound for finally getting it.Hinata knew that she would faint at any moment. What the hell was wrong with her life? What family goes from talking about you having sex to the guy you were about to have sex with's gay brother? Why couldn't her life be normal? Hinata groaned and everyone turned their attention to her.

"Oh yea! Hinata you're grounded. So that means no TV or telephone for a week! I will not be deemed a bad mother for not punishing you for your shenanigans! Go to bed, Hanabi, Neji. You have school tomorrow. Oh, and Sasuke please exit through the windows on the right or the left of the room, please. Thank you for stopping by and we hope to see you again soon!" Mitsuki sounded much like a flight attendant and Hinata knew exactly where her father had gotten her from. Mitsuki then closed the door to her room but Hinata could hear the muffled yells of Hanabi, displeased about her sudden bedtime. Sasuke let out a breath that he'd apparently been holding and he gently placed a hand on her shoulder, indicating that he was getting ready to leave.

Hinata took his hand in hers and started to examine it. Her ministrations caused Sasuke to stop and watch her. She traced the lines on his palm before setting his hand down on the bed.

"You're not mad at me are you?" Hinata asked, looking at her bed.

"No." Sasuke said and cupped her cheeks in his hands (P/N: I hope that means her face xD)(T/N: Perv…) and gently gave her a kiss good night before exiting through one of her windows.Hinata sighed and slowly brought the covers from her bed around her and curled into a ball. She had a neglectful father, a new sister/step-mom, a sister in need of anger management, an incestuous cousin who had a crush on her, and she was about to marry her best friend who was also her father's enemy's soon. To top it off, she was turning eighteen in less than two days and she had a big blow out party to go to handle Saturday. Why was her life so chaotic?

Hinata took a deep breath and realized that she could still smell Sasuke on her sheets. This thought caused her to blush furiously. After all, they had almost had sex in her bed!Hinata pushed the thoughts out of her exhausted mind and attempted to get some sleep. One last thought crossed her mind before she went to sleep, and surprisingly it was something Ino had said once. 'When life gives you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it.' Hinata fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Dictionary (for folks living under rocks)

Trix: this word is what kids say in school in front of the teacher so they don't get in trouble by saying bitch or just because the teacher doesn't know what it means. It comes from the movie ATL or Roll Bounce or that roller skating movie (all I know for sure is that it has a rapper in the movie). There is also a song that goes 'whop tha trix get'er. Whop tha trix get'er' I don't know the rest look on youtube for it.
