Summary: Itachi has been dragged to a club by his cousin, Shisui, only to find trouble. Hinata has been dragged to a club by her friends, only to be "trouble". One-shot.
Hinata Hyuuga did not want to be in the nightclub at all, not because she disliked nightclubs, but rather she was afraid of what would happen once she returned home. Unfortunately for her (or rather, fortunately), her friends Sakura and Ino had convinced her to sneak out.
Living under her father's rules is not easy, especially since he demands nothing less than perfection from her. Hinata sighed, looking at her friends on the dance floor. They looked so happy, bringing a smile to her face. 'Maybe coming here wasn't such a bad idea,' she thought.
"Better make the best of this moment," she muttered to herself feeling determined to not let her fear ruin her night. Just as Hinata had decided to join her friends on the dance floor, a voice halted her movements.
"Where are you going girlie?" the voice said, coming from behind her. She felt the hot breath of a man behind her on her neck. Deciding to ignore him Hinata continues to walk away from him, hoping he would stop.
"I said, where are you going?" the man spoke louder and got closer to Hinata. She internally groaned before ignoring him yet again. The man became infuriated before grabbing Hinata's arm and pushing her onto the floor.
"HEY!"

A few minutes earlier.
Itachi Uchiha sat down at the bar miserably. He was never the type of person that would willingly attend a nightclub on his own, nor was he the type of person to be seen in midst of drunks and babbling alcoholics.
He always made sure to distance himself from those who couldn't handle their alcohol. The putrid smell, the slurring speech, the drunken fights were all reasons as to why Itachi despised going to clubs. To make matters worse, the stench of cigarettes and alcohol never fails to make him feel nauseous.
It wasn't Itachi's idea to be in a club in the first place. He was dragged there by his cousin, Shisui, who is an energetic young man that is eager to do anything and everything. He is the type of person that when he sets his mind on a goal, by God will he achieve it; and unfortunately for Itachi, it was Shisui's goal to get him away from work.
"Hey cuz!" Shisui shouted, placing a drink in front of Itachi, "You enjoying yourself so far?" The music drowned out his voice, barely managing to reach Itachi's ears.
Itachi frowned at the dark-colored liquid in front of him. He didn't drink often, but when he did he made sure it was in the comfort of his own home with a glass of sweet-tasting wine in hand rather than the bitter liquor that sat before him.
The club was loud; music was blasting into his ears and people were shouting all over the place. The stench of alcohol and cigarettes plagued the area along with the sweat of the people there. Itachi wished he could simply be home with a glass of wine working at his desk. Not that he enjoyed working, however, he had numerous reports to do, more so than usual due to the change in management.
Itachi snapped back to reality and looked at his cousin, he was smiling and his eyes shined brightly. Should he tell him the truth? That he was utterly miserable here, and that he would rather be at home? Itachi sighed, "It's… bearable," he said, peering towards Shisui.
Shisui smiled, "Ah, that good enough for now." He sat down next to Itachi, "This an okay club anyways, but wait till next time! Then I can show you—"
"HEY!" Someone screamed across from Itachi and Shisui. The two Uchihas quickly turned to the source of the noise when they saw a young woman stumble onto the floor. "I said hey where you goin'?!" An older brute man appeared. He loomed above the fallen girl with a dangerous look on his face.
The young woman quickly stood up, "That's none of your concern" she stuttered.
The older man got angrier and grabbed the woman by her wrist, causing her to gasp loudly. He pulled her towards him, "You bit—" and before he was able to utter his next word he was slammed onto the ground with brute force. Rubbing his head, the older man peered up to see who was responsible for his fall, "What the hell—"
"I would be quiet if I were you," Itachi interrupted the man. The Uchiha then turned towards the young woman to help her steady herself.
"Who the hell are you?" The older man yelled anyway, only to be ignored. Once the initial shock of being thrown onto the floor passed, the man stood up and shoved Itachi, "I fucking asked a question, fucking answer me."
Itachi sent the man a death glare and promptly ignored him again. He grabbed the girl and began to move towards the exit. The older man opened his mouth again but was interrupted yet again, "Who I am is none of your concern," said Itachi coldly.
The man wasn't satisfied with his answer and began to follow Itachi and the girl, "What the fuck are you doing? Don't you know it's rude to interrupt a conversation between two people? Boy?" He nearly grabbed Itachi's shirt and was pushed back by Shisui.
"Back off," Shisui warned, swiftly following behind Itachi. The older man was surprised by the other man's appearance. He debated between chasing after the three people, but soon decided against it. The man groaned and angrily headed back into the club.
Once outside, Itachi headed for the nearest bench and sat the young woman down. Shisui followed behind them and stood along with Itachi, across from the girl. The three of them stayed silent.
Among the silence, Itachi began observing the young woman. She had long navy blue hair that extended to her lower back, and she had pale skin. Her eyes were white and she was staring intently at the cement floor in front of her. She wore a light violet long sleeve, with a white jacket over, along with a black skirt, tights, and boots. As Itachi was studying her, he realized that she was shaking. He frowned, it must have been too cold outside, he thought and began taking off his coat.
"Thank you!" The young girl squeaked, halting Itachi.
She looked directly at Itachi with tears in her eyes, "Thank you!" She said again before looking back to the floor glowing red.
The two Uchihas stared at the young woman in surprise. Itachi then smiled, "Are… are you okay?" he asked. She jumped at his question, pausing a bit before muttering a quiet yes. "My name is Itachi," Itachi said, offering the girl a hand.
The woman paused for a second, studying him in search of any malicious intentions. Once satisfied she looked at him. "I'm… I'm Hinata," she said nervously, accepting Itachi's outreached hand. She held onto him for a bit before letting go. Hinata smiled at the man who had helped her.
There was a tug at the side of Itachi's lips. He paused and looked into her eyes, "Nice to meet you, Hinata."
