............................................................................................................
She sighed heavily after shifting the paper bags in her hands. This was the fourth day in a row that she would be coming home to an empty house and even though there was tension between her and her husband...she missed him.
Another sigh escaped from her lips in frustration, desperately trying to forget what he said to her a few nights ago. Whenever she thought about it her heart started to throb and all of this was confusing her entirely way too much.
Hinata gripped the grocery bags tighter to her as she found a woman waiting in front of her apartment.
"...Sakura-chan?" the pinked haired woman quickly turned to her and smiled.
"Hinata-chan! What great timing I wanted to ask you about something today." Hinata blinked but quickly put on a small smile as much as it pained her to do it.
"Oh of course why don't you come in and have something to drink"
"Awesome! Here let me help you with that" Sakura took one of the grocery bags in her arms and followed Hinata into the small apartment. After putting the food away and getting out cold drinks for the two of them, Hinata sat down next to her friend.
Sakura was among the many shocked and very angry women of the Konoha village when Hinata and Sasuke's engagement was announced. A lot of the women where so angry that they would threaten Hinata daily and insult her whenever she came outside to run errands, and even Sakura soon realized how ridiculous everyone was being and began defending Hinata instead of throwing insults at her.
The pink haired woman would accompany Hinata everywhere making sure that no on would bother her, and in the end they became very good friends. But now...with all the recent events...things have become very tense between the two women.
"So uh...How was your trip" Hinata sipped at her drink a little waiting for Sakura to reply.
"Oh it was great! Hehe I really needed a break." Sakura glanced briefly at the woman next to her, knowing what she would ask next.
"How is Naruto-kun?" her lips felt slightly dry as she asked and felt a small pain in her chest The woman next to her gave her a small sad smile before proceeding to answer her question
"A goof ball as always, but he is doing well" Hinata felt Sakura's hand touch hers gently and she looked up into the worried green eyes of her friend.
"Is...Is it alright for me to be here?" The dark haired woman suddenly felt horrible about the way she was acting. This was her friend and she was acting rude because she married someone she loved...someone they both loved. Its just their marriage happened so suddenly and it was unexpected. The information was hard for Hinata to deal with even though she herself was already married.
Sakura was extremely depressed with her sudden loss of Sasuke and even after when she started protecting Hinata she was still depressed. Naruto had been there for her, making sure that she was eating right, and getting out to train with him so she wouldn't fall behind. Sakura wasn't sure when but soon her heart began to beat faster around him and she would get excited with the sudden thought of him.
It was common knowledge that Naruto was in love with the pink haired ninja, so when she finally confessed her feelings to him he was quick to ask her to marry him. A month after Sakura's confession they were married.
Hinata suddenly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Sakura tightly.
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan...I didn't mean to be so..." Sakura cut her off by placing her thin arms around her.
"It's ok Hinata-chan. I understand...besides...I'm the one who should be apologizing." Hinata shook her head quickly. It wasn't her fault that she fell in love. They both loved each other and it was only natural to want to be married...Hinata's arms tightened...but why him?
"Hinata-chan...I was wondering...how are you and Sasuke-kun doing?" Hinata suddenly froze and her cheeks went red.
"Eh?" Sakura pulled back from the hug to look at her friends face and couldn't stop the huge grin that spread across her face.
"And what's this? Is Hinata-chan blushing about Sasuke-kun?? Did you two kiss yet!? C'mon details!" Sakura started to laugh even more when she saw Hinatas face turn a deeper shade of red.
"I-Its not like that!"
"Oh? Then what happened between you two?"
"U-um there was a question you wanted to ask me??" Sakura blinked at this and suddenly smiled with realization. Relief washed over Hinata as the subject was changed; she wasn't sure how she was going to explain what happened between her and her husband.
"Oh! That's right I almost forgot. Hehe that Ino pig is pregnant." Now it was Hinatas turn to blink.
"Ino-san is pregnant? That's wonderful! How far along is she??"
"About three months I believe. I was planning to throw her a surprise baby shower tomorrow and I was wondering if you could help me with some of the preparations. Sorry for such the late notice."
"Of course I would love to help"
"Great!" Sakura finished the last of her drink and stood up with Hinata following after her. "I'll come to pick you up in the mourning. Is that ok?" The white-eyed woman smiled and answered with a small nod.
"Ok well I have to go...Naruto is waiting for me. I'll see you later! Bye Hinata-chan" Hinata waved in reply before shutting the door and locking it. Wow...pregnant? A lot of things sure have changed from how I thought it would be from when I was younger.
Hinata began to move back the coffee table and a few other pieces of furniture in the small living room. After everything was cleared she placed her self in the center of the space she made. Hinata picked one day a week to practice by herself and not with Kiba and Shino. Facing the door she slid back her right leg, lifting her left arm into a defensive position and her right held back ready for the attack.
It was true though, she had expected a lot of things to be different Her left leg dragged across the carpet to turn her back to the door, her right arm pushing out. She wondered if Ino or Sakura felt the same way, maybe even Sasuke? Hinata faulted for a moment at this sudden thought. She never thought about it before...did she make Sasuke miserable by getting married to him? Did she ruin any of his future plans?
Hinata finally moved to go into a crouching position but was stopped...stopped by something completely unexpected.
"Go back to the position you were just in"
Sasuke watched his wife in amusement as she nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Sasuke! I thought you wouldn't be back for at least another week?" Her husband tossed his bag to the side with an irritated gesture.
"That damned Kakashi-sensei gave me the wrong mission." Hinata quickly remembered the white scroll and how it had changed to purple. She began to wonder if Kakashi had then that on purpose, but her thoughts were quickly cut off with the sound of her husband's voice.
"Go back to the position you were just in" repeating himself again. She looked up at him a bit confused but did as her husband asked. Sasuke began looking over her slightly moving her right arm and adjusting her foot placement. After few seconds of staring at her, which made her extremely uncomfortable, he finally spoke.
"There...this is how the stance is supposed to be. You understand?" Hinata nodded slowly, memorizing exactly how her body was placed. "Hinata?" she looked up at him as he said her name, making sure not to move. "I could help you train if you like? Just you and I?" Hinatas stance suddenly dropped.
Sasuke wasn't entirely sure why he asked, but for some reason he wanted to spend more time with her and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to do so. He looked at her quietly, waiting for his wife's answer.
She wasn't really sure how to answer him. Hinata knew that she was nowhere near his league when it came to fighting and she was sure that she would only slow down his training. But her mouth answered before he brain could stop her.
"A-Alright. Thank you Sasuke" Her husband raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise but quickly nodded with the faintest touch of a smile. She blushed at this but something bothered her.
If he was going to do this for then what would she do for him? Hinata thought about how she would repay him as they both made their way into the kitchen until she finally came up with an idea.
"Sasuke?"
"Hmm?"
"I'll teach you to cook? As payment for you helping me train..." She looked at the floor as she asked him. He didn't answer her so she looked up at him to see him staring at her with one brow raised.
"What's wrong with my cooking?" Hinata smiled a little at him, blushing with embarrassment.
"Oh no no! You're an excellent cook...its just you never seem to cook with spices so I thought I could help?" It was true; Sasuke never really cared enough to throw in spices when he cooked dinner for them. Hinata made different dishes then him so he never knew that his dishes tasted a bit bland.
"Alright. How about we start tonight then?" His wife smiled at his suggestion and quickly began pulling out a few spices as he started taking out the needed materials to make the dinner dish he was planning to make.
He listened to her as she spoke about the different tastes the spices had as he cooked the food. A lot of the spices she talked about he didn't even know existed until tonight. Sasuke would watch her, enjoying the smile she gave him every time she glanced up at him with a different spice.
When dinner was done and set on the table, he looked at the food placed before him with doubt. How could a few spices suddenly change the taste of the food that he cooked so many times before? Sasuke glanced over at his wife as she tried a spoonful of what he had made for dinner.
"Oh Sasuke this tastes wonderful!" Hinata glanced over at him, urging him to try some. He glanced back down at his plate doubtfully before finally trying some.
"Well? What do you think?" Sasuke sat quietly with raised eyebrows. The spices actually made it taste a lot better, but he really didn't want to admit that the spices had helped.
"It tastes fine," he grumbled as he looked off to the side, pouting slightly. Hinata couldn't help but giggle at the look on his face. She never knew that her husband could make such an expression. Feeling both joy and embarrassment from his wife's giggling he quickly changed the subject.
"I saw Sakura on my way home...did she stop by here?"
"Oh yes she did. She asked for some help for Ino-san's surprise baby-shower tomorrow"
"Baby shower? Ino is having a baby? Heh I bet Shikamaru sure is happy about this" Sasuke smirked at this, wishing he could have seen the reaction on Shikamaru's face when she told him the news. Suddenly a new thought hit him...a baby...
"Hinata? Do you...I mean someday...would you want to have a baby." He didn't say with him since he wasn't sure why he even asked in the first place. It wasn't like him to ask such a stupid thing. As expected Hinata just stared at him completely shocked by his question.
A baby?..
She never even thought of having children and was surprised that she entirely forgot about it. And if she had a baby it would be with her husband... Sasuke... When she was younger she always planed to be married to Naruto and have his children, but now he was married to Sakura...and she would have his children.
Hinata's shoulders suddenly hunched over and couldn't stop the sudden overflow of tears that came.
"I-I'm sorry I d-don't mean to c-cry. Its just I d-didn't expect to b-be married to y-you or have your c-c-children. Everything is j-just so different from w-what I wanted." Desperately she tried to wipe her tears away as her body shook with her sobs.
Her words stung him greatly and he didn't know what he was supposed to do so he just sat there listening painfully to her crying. Something else was bothering him though...this seemed all too familiar.
...She was like this before.
She cried just like this the night of Naruto's wedding...
The night they almost...
Suddenly Sasuke stood, throwing his unfinished dish into the sink and walked into the bedroom slamming the door shut. This caused Hinata to stop her sobs in surprise. Did she make him angry? She slowly stood from the table making her way to their bedroom door. Hinata was worried...what if she screwed up again? She decided against opening the door and laid down on the couch, feeling extremely exhausted from the sudden outbreak of emotions. As soon as her eyes were shut she was fast asleep.
Not more than an hour later Sasuke opened the bedroom door and walked over to the couch where he found his wife currently sleeping. He couldn't sleep...the way he left her crying bugged him and her words had hurt more than he realized.
Hinata suddenly felt the couch go down with a new weight and her eyes slowly opened to the dimly lit room, she wasn't really sure when all the lights had been turned off.
"Sasuke?..."
"Do I really make you that miserable?" Hinata was now fully awake and sat up to better see Sasuke.
"No...Did I ruin your life because you were forced to marry me?"
"No"
They both stared at each other quietly. If they didn't love or hate each other...what kind of marriage did they have?
