Gray Pearl

by Jasmine Starlight

Full summary: Black- adj. opposite of white, dark; without light. White- adj. innocence, opposite of black, absence of color. To Hyuuga Hinata, the world couldn't be painted in two different colors. But she didn't mind, she knew where she stood, she was white and he black. But when black and white mix, no one can go back, no matter how hard they try. Sasu/Hina

CHAPTER THREE

WAR ROOM

Hinata flushed a dark violet.

"Hinata-chan!" wheedled a voice.

"Yeah, Hinata-chan come out from behind the curtain." crooned Ino.

"Iie!" she shouted, she shouted?

"Come on, the plan won't work if you don't." said Sakura reasonably.

Grudgingly she stepped out of her changing cubicle.

She was confronted with several "oohs", "ahs", and "Kawaii ne Hinata-chans!"

It irritated her to no end.

The dress she was wearing was A) pink B) horrendously puffy C) made her look like a pink dango.

Tenten once again came to her rescue, "Guys, maybe we should try that other dress." she suggested.

Hinata almost shouted in relief, she was about to use this dress for shuriken practice.

Hinata rushed back into the changing cubicle and the pink monstrosity came flying over the curtain.

Sakura wisely caught it, for monetary reasons.

The next time Hinata emerged from the dressing cubicle, she was wearing a, dark violet kimono, similar to her blush, with silver lining, the lilies that lined the bottom of the kimono were also silver.

Walking up to the full length mirror, Hinata surveyed herself critically, her lips were still too small, eyes too white, and hips too small.

But Sakura and Tenten didn't seem to notice that.

"Hinata-chan! You should definitely get that one!" exclaimed Ino boisterously.

"Ino-pig is right!" declared Sakura.

"It makes you look very exotic Hinata-chan." said Tenten.

Hinata flushed under the praise of her friends.

When Sasuke retreated into the pornography section of the book store, Kakashi had been slightly suspicious.

Then slightly horny, but that wasn't because of Sasuke, it was because he was skimming through Vol. 56 of Icha Icha Utopia.

Jiraiya had progressed quite a bit, with his pornographic career, and had even branched out and started a few shops.

All of which Kakashi had Gold-Perversion-Membership cards to.

Ebisu was so jealous. A Gold-Perversion-Membership was so much better opposed to Ebisu's measly Bronze-Peeping-Tom-Membership.

It wasn't his fault if he couldn't upgrade DAMNIT!

It wasn't his fault that Kakashi had known the author personally!

This was favoritism!

That's why Kakashi deliberately wore his card around his neck whenever he went to the Hokage's office, just to see Ebisu nose bleed into the ground.

So, Tsunade had gotten over her hemophobia pretty quickly.

Shizune had taken to whacking said Jounin over the head with a mop when no one was looking.

Whenever Ebisu awoke, his glasses would be cracked, and he still hadn't noticed the shards in Shizune's mop.

Ero baka.

But Kakashi was now contemplating going over to Sasuke, just to scare the crap out of him.

And to congratulate him on his first foray into the Icha Icha Paradise world.

When Hinata entered the book store because Rock Lee had seen him go in and had told her as much, she was nervous.

But she was expecting him to be researching jutsus.

Or new weapons or origami. Or even onigiri recipes!

Anything but the section in which she found him in.

"Ano, Uchiha-san." she said quietly.

£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£

When Hinata approached Sasuke, he distractedly brushed her off.

"Shh."

"Naze?" asked Hinata confusedly.

"I'm busy." he said.

"With what?" asked Hinata.

"Stealth."

"For what?"

"I'm hiding."

"From who?" asked Hinata, irritatedly.

"Hinata." he said without realizing who was standing next to him.

Hinata, who had been forced on a shopping trip, forced to wear a pink monstrosity, forced to run around the village for no apparent reason, who had been forced to be nice had had enough.

Walking up to Kakashi-sensei, who had been amusedly watching the whole scene, she asked politely, "Suimasen, Kakashi-sensei, ano I was wondering, may I borrow that book for a minute?"

Kakashi looked at the large tome in his hand.

"Hai." he said warily.

"Arigato gozimasu!" she chirped.

Kakashi almost felt tempted to lower his mask, that's how curious he was.

Hinata's demeanor changed almost immediately, she stalked over to aforementioned Uchiha and said sweetly, "Oh, Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke finally turned around.

And Hinata brought the book down on his spiky head.

And then kicked him in the family jewels.

Far away, at the Uchiha gravesite several main family members were groaning in their eternal sleep.

Daintily, Hinata flounced back over to Kakashi-sensei.

"Here you are Sensei, I'm sorry about the dent, but Sasuke-bakayaro," Hinata turned to send Sasuke a venomous glance, "has a very hard head. Ja!" she said and primly skipped out of the store.

Kakashi had never heard Hinata use a curse or venomously glance at anyone.

Good thing there was a security camera taping it all.

Kakashi would steal it for his archives.

When Sasuke hobbled, to Ichiraku for Naruto's demand for ramen, he was rewarded with several odd glances.

"What happened to you?" asked Sakura curiously,

Sasuke mumbled something in an inaudible voice.

"Still, can't hear you temee." sang Naruto.

"IsaidHinatatkickedmeintheballs." he said quickly. "Hey, look there's some ramen, I'll have pork, miso, spicy chicken and fish and--" Sakura cut him off.

"Hinata?" she asked incredulously.

"--beef and sweet and sour pork and vegetable--"

"Answer the question, damnit!" said Sakura.

Even Sasuke knew when to listen to Sakura, especially when Inner Sakura came out to play.

"Hai." he said cautiously.

Naruto burst into raucous laughter.

"Hinata!"

"It's not funny, Dobe." insisted Sasuke.

"Yes it is!" declared Naruto loudly.
