Zeelee-Vallen: Hey guys! I can't believe the response I had for my last chapter. I am in awe of how much love and support you have given me. I am very thankful for you all, and exist for you! I really needed all the love. I had posted a one-shot (Which I will be making a story out of spite, and for the good beans like you all), and had gotten some rather ridiculous hate. I was absolutely appalled at how horrible some trolls are.

For any new writers, or people who want to write: I am sorry to any new writers who have had to face horrible people. To people who want to write; you can do it, and follow your inspiration. Be creative, write your imagination, learn, grow. I believe in all of you. You will do great, do not listen to people who will try bring you down. I love you, and you can do it. Perhaps you are like me, and may feel unworthy, and like you might not want to post because of reasons. Just know, the idea is yours, and you can create your own world. Its fanfic for heck sake. You can do anything you want! Just do not give up.

And of course, a special thanks to my reviewers: LB Cat, Komorebi-chama, muzicaldove, Guest, nuriiko, HMAKhlys, orange mug, MomiWolfie, Smaca, mArda, Guest, , hellor, ghost, Senpai-sama1.

To be beloved ghostie readers: Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story! I appreciate you so much.

Do not own Naruto.

Even Hinata's food was not enough to calm him down. Agitation was becoming his state of being ever since he found out about the engagement. He ate slowly, watching as the other kids played, and the girls squeal over him from a distance. Naruto was sitting beside him, despite his protest. Every time he moved, the bastard followed him. They had been arguing all afternoon, yet the idiot never left him alone.

Naruto turned to him, blue eyes narrowed. "You need to stop glaring at me already!" The idiot whined, looking like an angry kicked puppy. "I told you, I really do like her." The idiot exclaimed, crossing his arms.

"And I told you, you don't even know her." Sasuke growled, the sound raw and low. He was almost surprised that such a sound could come from him. Almost. Hinata brought out many unknown sides to him, the overwhelming jealousy of his brother and Naruto being one. Sounds were more easy to accept.

"I do! I watch you two together." Sasuke blinked. He watched them? When? He always thought the blond was too busy doing stupid things. "I always thought her smile was pretty, and that she was super cute. But, I was convinced I was going to marry the person who made the bento for me." Naruto's smile was too wide, it pissed him off. He glared harder, the tomato doing nothing for his sour mood. "I just... Never thought Hinata was the one who made the bento! But I don't care, I want to marry her!" Naruto looked up, a rather prominent blush on his cheeks. It made him want to punch him. But he hit him enough already. The blue and red was still flowering around the blonde's eye, and his jaw.

"Well, you can't have her." He closed the bento, determined. He knew his brother was required to spend time with her, and he was going to interfere just like he did with Naruto. He was going to be on double duty. He was damn sure to make sure Naruto also didn't spend time with her.

Starting with now. He swiped Naruto's empty bento, glaring when the boy opened his mouth. This was the perfect excuse to visit her.

Itachi had paperwork, so he had taken his leave after she had politely refused his invitation to walk her home. She wanted the alone time to think. The streets were busy with people, all living their lives differently. She watched them, doing her daily study of behaviour as she walked.

The smell of roasted meat from a stall made her think of tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Itachi and her were to meet up after dinner. He said he had a mission coming up, so they had to complete their required hours soon. He apologized, and she said it was okay, they did not have any school assignment due this week. It was not a lie, but she would have to push her personal training to the side, so she would have the free time. Adding a new aspect to her schedule was throwing her off slightly, but she would adjust quickly.

Home was close, a little too close. She was not yet ready to face her father.

But she had no choice.

She walked along the long wall that led to her compound, her heart slowly beginning to pick up pace, and her stomach clench.

She turned the corner, and there he was, waiting for her at the gate, arms crossed and back straight. Even though he was far, and his face turned to the lowering sun, she could see his carefully blank expression. The guards looked as apathetic as usual; backs positioned to the open wooden gate, white eyes forward.

With dread, she realized she would not be able to sneak in. From the way her father's back straightened further, she knew he sensed her. For each step that brought her closer, she felt her legs wobble, and her stomach twist.

Cold white eyes landed on her, and she knew she was going to be punished harshly.

Zeelee-Vallen: So, how do you think Sasuke is going to dominate her time? Do you think Naruto is going to try woo her still?

Love you guys!
