A/N: Thank you for all your reviews! Sorry it took forever for me to update. I was grounded and as soon as I got off I had to work on a chap for my other story before this one. Anyways here it goes.
Enjoy!

So I had to follow my father's orders and deliever this stupid envelope which was probly a long story/reminder why Sasuke Had to marry me. Yeah, so I had to deliver it but I was going to take my own sweet time doing it. I needed that time to think. What could I possibly do to get this engagment called off? Why wasn't Kiba's brain working as mischeviosuly as usual? When I needed his wreckful thinking it wasn't working!

I sighed and looked up at the cloudy sky. I felt a small drop of rain dampen my cheek. "More rain." I said, pausing and holding out my hand. Another drop fell and touched my finger tip. Sasuke's house isn't far and the rain is going to start getting heavier. So much for stalling.

"Catch you later!"

I looked up ahead of me. Naruto was waving at somebody I couldn't see. His back was to me but I could tell he was about to turn this way. If he saw me he would probly ask me where I was going and if I lied then he'd offer to walk me there. I didn't feel like explaining things to Naruto especially when I could still get this thing called off and pretend it never happened. I took a deep breath, ducked behind a tree and waited for him to pass.

"Hm...did I see somebody there before?" he asked himself aloud as he passed. I held my breath and tried to be as still as possible. As much as I wanted to talk to him I couldn't right now.

After making sure he was completly gone I took off running towards Sasuke's house. The rain was still slow, seeming as though it had no intentions on speeding up, but I didn't trust that. I countinued running towards Sasuke's house, my eyes staring straight ahead of me. I guess that's why I didn't notice the rock I tripped over. I was about to fall flat on my face into the hard ground and I knew it was too late to catch myself so i just closed my eyes and waited. But...I didn't fall. Well I did fall, but not on the ground. Instead I fell into someones arms. I immediatly knew who held me just from the feeling. One arm rested beneath my chest, holding me up and his hand firmly held my other arm.

"Thank you." I said, looking up Sasuke.

"How is it you manage to trip over anything and everything?" he questioned.

"I don't know." I admitted. I could feel myself blushing. For some reason this was all reminding me of yesterday when we were acting.

"So why are you here?" he asked, changing the subject.

Why was I here? I couldn't seem to remember. What was wrong with me?

Sasuke stood up and lifted me upright too. The moment he released me I seemed to come back to the senses I should have never left in the first place. "Oh...I-I uh...," I reached in my pocket and removed the envelope. "..have another one of these." I said, holding it up for him to see.

"Another one, huh?" he said, taking it from my hands.

"They're gonna keep coming until he gets what he wants." I said slowly.

"Hn."

I bit my lip. Somehow I had expected a different reaction from him. I was sort of hoping he would say something about how my father wouldn't get what he wanted.

"You had something to ask me." Sasuke said

Something to ask him? What was he talking about?

"Yesterday." he explained, sincing my confusion. Suddenly I remembered confronting him yesterday,but did I want to ask him?

"I uh...I forgot." I said, slapping my hand against my forehead.

"Figures." he muttered, removing a kunai from his poutch. I watched him throw the letter into the air and the kunai after it. I watched them soar to the door of his house. The kunai held the letter up.

His aim was perfect!

A large crack of thunder sounded over us. I shuddered at the loud noise. The rain began to fall faster but still not as fast as it could be. I looked up at Sasuke who was looking at the sky. That's when I looked into his eyes. I had never noticed how dark they were, well I noticed how dark they were but...this was different. It was some what fascinating. I could faintly hear Sasuke speaking, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I was to dazed and I didn't know why. But what I really didn't know was why I nodded, why he began to walk away, and why I followed.

I followed Sasuke behind his house and past a few trees. I had no idea where he was going or if I should be following him. My hair clunng to my face while my clothes clung to my body. I was soaked. I stopped walking and looked down at my feet. Should I run back now?

Sasuke paused and turned around. "Why'd you stop?"

So I was supposed to be following him. "I-I sort of blanked out when you were talking to m-"

"I know." he interuppted. "We're here anyways."

"Where is here?" I asked, practically shouting. I wasn't quite sure he could hear my voice over the rain. We stood in a small clearing surronded by tall trees.

Sasuke took a few steps forward and placed his hand against one of the trees. "It's where I train alone." he replied.

Why had he brought me here?

"The best thing about being here when it rains," Sasuke began, turning to look at me. "...is that no one can hear you when you scream or shout."

I blinked. What was he trying to say?

"This may sound insane but...when I was younger I used to come here when it rained to let everything out. Even though no one could hear me it felt good to know that I had admitted what I felt aloud." he explained.

I couldn't believe he was actually telling me this. Was this a dream? He had never opened up to me about his past and now...well this was a start. "I can imagine." I said, although I was sure he didn't hear me.

"Try it."

"Me?" I asked, surprised and unable to believe he was really speaking to me.

"Yes you, Hinata." he replied.

I began to take a step forward. "I don't kno-"

I paused as Sasuke appeared behind me. Croching down, he held my ankle of my foort which hadn't touched the ground yet. His other hand on my thigh. He was so fast!

"Don't step there." he said, redirecting my foot.

"S-sorry." I stammered, my voice wavering between shock and confusion.

He stood up, his hand sliding down from my waist to my thigh and then away from me altoghther. I shivered due to his chilling touch. I felt myself blushing like mad. "Go ahead." he assured me.

"I-I still don't know what to say."

"Say what you feel." he shrugged. "That's the whole point."

I bit my lip, still unsure of what to say and why I was even considering saying something. What was I feeling?

"I'm soaked." I said in a whisper.

"When I said no one could hear you I meant it." Sasuke said, looking up at the sky.

I had no idea why I was about to do this but I was. I took a deep breath. "I'M SOAKED!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I clasped my hands over my face immediatly after the words escaped my mouth. Why did I feel so embarrassed and self concious? Well I was only shouting stupidity in the pouring rain beside the guy who hated my guts.

"That was good for a start." he nodded. "Try again."

I blinked, unprepared for his words. "W-what else do I say?"

"What do you love?" he asked, tilting his head a bit. Small beads of water dripped down his face and over his lips. I smiled and looked down, thinking of all the things I adored. I sort of giggled as I looked back up. "This is silly but...I LOVE FLOWERS! I LOVE RAIN! I LOVE SPRING! I LOVE SNOW!" I shouted, pausing to blush and cover my mouth with my hand. I glanced at Sasuke. It may have been an illusion because as of now I had declared myself delirious, but I think I saw him smile. "You say something." I said to him. "What do you love?"

He shook his head. "I don't particurally love anything." he replied.

"Okay well...what do you like?" I asked, thoughtfully.

He didn't like nor love anything. Could that really be possible? I exhaled deeply and moved the hair that clung to my cheek. "...so say what you hate." I said, slowly. Once again I wasn't sure he heard me because he didn't seem to react to my words. Why did I say that? He's just going to say me and I-

"I will if you do." he said, breaking my train of thought.

"Alright...on the count of three."

He stared at me (more like through me). He seemed to be analyzing my words. Just when I thought he would say something evil he nodded. He actually nodded.

I held my fingers up so he could see as I counted down to zero. I was unaware of what I was going to say. What did I hate the most? Or who?

Before I knew I was no longer holding up any fingers. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I shouted. "I HATE THE HYUGA FAMILY TRADITIONS!"

I opened my eyes, mywords shocking me for some strange reason. But what shocked me the most was what Sasuke had said. I hate my brother.

For a second all I could hear was the heavy rain. Neither of us said a word.

"Y-you didn't say me." I said, breaking the silence.

"Do you want me to say it or something? I thought you already got the picture."

"No...you don't have to say it." I said, shaking my head. No matter how much I wanted to look in another direction I found myself staring at him.

"You didn't say my name either." he said, without looking at me.

"Well you may be surprised to know there are somethings I hate more than you, Sasuke."

"That should have been my line. I hate you for saying it."

For some reason I found myself smiling instead of being hurt or angry. I didn't know where that sudden burst of boldness or the words it brought along Suddenly another loud crack of thunder sounded over head. This time it was followed by lightening.

"We should go." Sasuke said, walking past me towards the direction of his house.

He was right. We should go. But for some reason I just wasn't ready to leave.

"Stay out here if you want but I'm leaving!" Sasuke called after me. He was already ahead of me, almost out of sight.

I sighed and ran after him, the muddy water splashing up in my face as the leaves from lower tree brances brushed against my wet body. It had become really dark and the gray clouds seemed to get bigger by the second.

"I have to get back home." I said, stopping infront of Sasuke's house to catch my breath. "M-my father i-is going to b-be so angry," I said, between breaths."...and Hanabi...s-she's probly s-so worri-Ow!"

Had someone just thrown a rock? I looked around frantically for the direction in which whatever had just hit me had come from.

"It never occured to you to look up?" Sasuke asked, sarcastically. "It's hail."

"Again?" I asked, looking up at the sky.

The moment the words slipped from my mouth the hail began to pour down faster. I shrieked.

Sasuke seemed to be smiling as he reached out his hand. I quickly took it and he helped me on to the dry porch. "When it rains in Konoha it pours hail."

Looks like I'm stuck at Sasuke's again.
