Chapter 2: Caught In The Act 2
Hinata's p.o.v.
"I-I guess, I sh-should leave…" Sasuke stuttered and walked towards the door with his head bowed.
Neji, who was standing at the door, was glaring at Sasuke.
"Not so fast Uchiha! The three of us should talk first!" Neji ordered.
Sasuke continued to walk and tried to pass the HINDRANCE who stood furiously at my room's oaken door.
But before Sasuke could escape my nii-san's wrath, my cousin grabbed Sasuke's shirt and pinned him on the wall.
"I said we need to talk you bastard!" Neji whispered but with a tone of anger in his voice.
He pushed Sasuke beside me and sat on a chair.
"Sa-sasuke-san! Are you ok?" I asked the poor creature.
"You don't have to ram him that hard!" I exclaimed, facing to my pissed cousin.
"Yah… I'm o-ok… I think so." said Sasuke while getting up.
"What the hell are you doing in my cousin's room, Uchiha!" Neji asked with his arms crossed.
"I… I… I…" Sasuke babbled.
"You what?" Neji exclaimed and activated his byakugan.
"Hey! Don't shout! Please… You're going to disturb the others." I interrupted.
"Don't intercept us, Hinata-nii-chan." Neji ordered sternly.
I sat still and watched Sasuke as he stared on the floor. I felt nervous for him.
'If he won't answer right away, Neji might kill him…' I thought.
"Answer me, Uchiha!"
"Sorry. I entered her room. My fault." Sasuke replied with his body still erect.
"That's all you can say! You're sorry! Don't you know that this might affect your brother's wedding with Hinata?"
"I-iie! It's not his fault! I-I… I asked him if I can have a-an advice…" I stuttered, trying to save the Uchiha from the stern Hyuga.
"You asked him for an advice at the middle of the night? Are you demented? You allowed him to stay in your room! And the worst thing is, the two of you are staying all alone here! That's very indecent of you Hinata-chan! You're getting married tomorrow and you're allowing him to stay in your bedroom? What do you think will the Uchihas and Hyugas think about this?" He scolded.
"P-please… N-n-neji-nii-san... I-I beg y-you… Don't tell anyone…" I mumbled and kneeled in front of him.
His temper began to ebb away as he deactivated his byakugan. He stared at my eyes with compassion and touched the pale skin of my cheeks.
"I won't tell them, in one condition…"
"What is it, Neji-nii-san?" I asked.
"Be a faithful wife."
"I will, Neji-nii-san. I promise."
He nodded his head and walked through the door where he appeared first.
"One more thing, Uchiha, leave this room at once. Or else-." He said without looking back.
When my severe cousin was totally gone, Sasuke stood up and went closer to the door. He looked at me and said:
"Sumimasen."
"……"
He continued to walk out of the room, not expecting for any word to come out from my lips.
Neji's p.o.v.
As I strolled to my room, different thoughts circulated on my mind.
Why is Sasuke staying in Hinata's room?
It's too impossible for Hinata to ask any advice from that bastard…
They barely know each other.
So strange.
Odd.
I sat on my bed, preparing for my sleep. I breathed deeply and lay flat on my bed.
"I promise, Hinata-nii-chan, I won't tell them."
These are the last words I heard from my lips.
Sasuke's p.o.v.
I don't want to harm or hurt you…
All I wanna do is to be with you…
I hope you don't mind if I ask you to be mine.
But I know that you belong to someone else.
And that someone is none other than my brother.
My rival.
My foe.
My adversary.
But the worst thing is…
We are related…
By blood.
I wish I could hold you tight forever
And I promise to give you my all.
But it's too impossible.
My heart broke into tiny pieces when I heard Hinata made a promise that she will be a faithful wife…
…To my brother.
Hinata's p.o.v.
I deeply breathed and closed my eyes.
'Everything is just confusing.' I thought.
I locked the door and wore my usual white pants.
"I don't want this to happen again." I whispered.
I glanced at the full moon which shone its beams down the earth.
Hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
"There you go again! Will you stop crying?" Inner Hinata commanded.
I picked up my phone and dialed TenTen's number.
"Are you stupid? It's already 11:30 in the evening! Do you think she's still awake?" Inner Hinata asked angrily.
Nobody answered the phone so I just placed in down. I heaved a great sigh and stared at the plain white ceiling.
"I found the right man to give me the perfect love. This is the right time – as what my father said. Everything is perfect except for one thing… For him, I wasn't the perfect girl, and I wasn't even close for being the right one. Maybe, I don't deserve someone like him."
I whispered to myself and curled my petite body like a ball.
I continued to dishearten myself by addressing hurtful words, until finally, I decided to get out of my room to confess everything to my soon to be husband.
'It would probably be better if I will tell him about this. He can give me the advice I really needed. And he can cheer me up, if he wanted to.'
I went out of my room and walked towards Itachi's room. And as I strolled, some flashbacks came into my mind…
Flashback:
The rain poured so hard and all I can hear were ripples of water which are falling on the ground consecutively and the thunder which roar madly on the dark heavens.
As my tears rolled down, I felt my self being succumbed by agony. My body was numb, I feel nothing… I see nothing… I hear nothing…
I was saturated, but I can't seem to notice it because I was thinking of a great loss. Loss for my honor… Loss for my heart… And loss for the only man whom I loved.
I confessed how I feel for Naruto, but he rejected me. He said that his heart belongs to only one girl. My heart didn't break, but it was ripped into the tiniest pieces.
How could he?
Why?
I sauntered the wet streets without paying attention to anyone or anything.
"Hinata-chan…" A voice from my back called out.
I looked at where the voice came from, and my white teary eyes met dark orbs.
I wiped my tears with my hands and forced a little fake smile.
"Hi, Itachi-kun!" I said, trying to sound casual.
We were already engaged by that time, but I'm still hoping that I can evade my destiny. I don't love him… But I don't hate him…
"It's raining. Do you want to get sick?" He asked.
"And why are you here? You're not carrying an umbrella with you, do you want to catch fever?" I replied.
"Don't give me back my question. My body is immune to things like this, but you're not. I'm an ANBU captain and you're a medic nin. Remember that."
"Uh… Yah."
"Do you still love him?"
My eyes widened at his question. I looked up and cleared my throat.
"Wh-what?" I stuttered with my tears on the verge of falling.
"Do you still love him?"
I tried my best to hold the tears back, but I can't… I was too weak to hide my emotions.
"I-I'm s-sorry…" I babbled while wiping my tears.
He came near to me and touched my cheek with his thumb.
"Will you give me a chance to help you heal the pain?" He asked full of compassion and concern.
I looked at him in great surprise about what he said.
'I thought he's naïve and pervert. But…' I thought to myself.
He lifted my chin a little and grazed my lips. His hand wrapped my waist to draw me closer to him.
From that night, I felt something for him… Something which is really close to the feeling of love.
End of Flashback
I stood in front of his door, but I can't get up the nerve to knock. After a few more minutes, the door creaked open.
I came face to face with a person… Not Itachi.
Hanabi.
"Hinata-nii-chan!" She exclaimed.
"Hanabi, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"Itachi, why did you allow me to see you with another woman?" I asked, with my eyes watering and my hands trembling.
"Another woman? But she's your sister!" Itachi answered.
"That's the point, she's my sister and you are with her."
"What do you want to point out?" Itachi asked, full of rage.
I unconsciously slapped his face, and as I snapped back to reality, I found myself running towards my room.
When I finally reached my bedroom, I hid my face under the pillows and began sobbing.
Why Itachi? Why?
