Author's Notes: Hey, thanks for the review! I really appreciate it! I guess that many of you readers are wondering where the fluff is about to appear. There is a few Sasu-hina fluff in this chappie, but I'm taking it easy and not going all drastic about it. But please read and review! I really will appreciate it! Thank you reviewers from the last chapter.

Chapter 4:

"Now, I want you two to be poise and present yourself properly," said Hiashi, inside the limousine, heading off to the dinner party. "Whoever this man is, we must make sure we have a partnership after the end of this party." He was fixing his tie a bit. He was fifty years old and wrinkles were beginning to show. His long black hair was tied back in a low ponytail.

"I do not know why we must meet this man," said Neiji. He was Hiashi's nephew and so was invited to come. He sat next to his uncle. "I do not want to meet this man."

"Hmph," said Hiashi," I fully know well, how ridiculous this idea is, but he is making connections very quickly. We must combine our powers together to keep things going. Do you think I wanted to go if I did not know that man was growing so big among people?"

Across from the leather seat on the sides of the limousine sat Hanabi and Hinata. Hanabi was wearing a red dress. It had a strap at the neck and her back showed. It was up to her knees and she had on red high heels. The sixteen year old had some of her hair pulled back with a red bow. She wore a necklace with diamonds hanging from it and diamond cut earrings. She had on black mascara and red lipstick. She also wore white gloves.

"We must do what is needed best for the company," said Hanabi, coolly, holding a black purse in her hand. She then took out a mirror and began looking at her complexion," Besides. Who could resist such a pretty face?"

Hinata smiled at the comment that Hanabi made to herself. Of course, her sister was smart, but she really was ignorant and self-conscious of her looks. But she still loved her sister dearly.

"You look wonderful, Hanabi," said Hinata and patted her sister's shoulder," You too, Neiji-kun."

"Thank you, Hinata," said Neiji and he smiled. His younger cousin was really sweet. She was like a younger sister to him. "You look very beautiful tonight."

Hinata blushed," Oh no. I am not as pretty as Hanabi."

Hinata was wearing a white dress with straps at by her shoulders that cascaded down to her feet. Her hair was tied in a bun. She had only lip gloss on and her bangs were in its usual place. She had on white shoes, but she didn't have high heels like Hanabi. She had a white purse in her hand. Her silver circular silver locket was still around her swan-like neck. Her thin silver watch was on her left hand.

Hinata looked away and out at the streets. The limousine had pulled into a huge building that was probably this man's workplace. There were many guests heading in.

The limousine drove off as the Hyuugas went inside the building. They were escorted to the top of the building where inside was a huge dancing room. Everyone was dancing and drinking wine.

"Hello, Mr. Uchiha!" exclaimed a cheerful voice.

Suddenly from out of nowhere a young man about Hinata's age appeared and he had spiky blonde hair and clear blue eyes. He was in a black suit with a silver tie. "Nice to meet you my name is Naruto Uzamaki."

Hiashi gave a smile," Nice to meet you, Naruto-san. I congratulate you for making your business expand so far and at such a young age! It is quite impressing."

Naruto scratched the back of his head," Well! I had a dream and worked toward it! Come! Have a seat near the other special guests that I have invited."

"Yes," said Hiashi," but first let me introduce you to my two daughters. The oldest is Hinata, then Hanabi. My nephew Neiji decided to come I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all, sir," said Naruto," The pleasure is mine!" Naruto then lead the guests to an area to where there was a table where someone was serving food only to the people sitting on the table.

It was a long table and the people that Hinata had seen this morning were there. They were all dressed formerly. Hinata took a seat next to Hanabi and Neiji. Her father sat next to Neiji. Across from her was Sasuke and next to him was his father at the left and there was Gaara. (oh boy! ;;)

Hinata bowed before sitting down and a person suddenly placed a plate of food before her. The aroma filled Hinata's sense and she remembered that she hasn't eaten lunch yet and she was starving!

"A toast," said Naruto, holding up a cup of champagne, sitting down at the front of the table end," for all of you for coming tonight."

Everyone held up their glasses and drank out of it. Hinata took a small sip and began digging in. She cut a piece of the steak and took a small bite. She smiled at the delicious taste. Soon the table was in a talking mood as the elderly people began to talk with Naruto.

"The food is horrible," said Hanabi, putting the fork down," It will certainly make me loose my figure."

"I think that it is delicious," said Hinata smiling," You are too young to worry about your figure." A band was playing music and Hinata was enjoying her time. She hadn't been able to talk to Gaara, but she was fine with it. Gaara is a nice person, but he scares me sometimes, thought Hinata, sipping a glass of water next to the champagne. The way he has been acting towards her was confusing her greatly. Before she met him, he was always staring at her and giving her an uncomfortable presence. Now, since her father and his father had set them up, she had to go through with it. She had a hard time figuring out if his intentions were that he cared or was only doing it for the sake of his father.

"Miss, I was wondering if you would like to dance?" asked a voice behind Hinata.

Hinata looked up and saw a young man a bit older than her, blush as he looked at her," Oh."

"No," said Hanabi," No thank you. I'm not interested."

As the young man nervously waited patiently, Hinata turned back to her seat, with red cheeks.

"Hinata," whispered Hanabi," You really thought that that old man was going to ask you out?" She could see her grin," You are so hilarious, older sister."

Hinata gave a sheepish grin," Well, I guess I did think that, but it's okay. I really am a bad dancer."

"Well, how about you miss?" the man suddenly asked, "You in the white dress." Hinata was about to answer when suddenly-

"She won't dance with you so leave her alone," said Gaara coldly.

Hinata than turned to Gaara. He was staring at the man with his cold eyes, even though the man looked older.

"Oh, okay then. Goodbye!" exclaimed the guy and ran off.

"Hinata, why don't you ask Gaara to dance?" asked Hanabi, whispering to her sister," He seems like he really wants to dance with you."

"Excuse me," said Naruto, sweat coming out from his face as he tapped his glass with a spoon," How about we take a break from this chat and dance then, shall we?"

The elderly people looked around and gave a shrug, why not. So they either danced with their wives or husbands, or went off somewhere to chat. That's what Hiashi, Uchiha, and Sabaku did as they went to the refreshment table to chat.

"Whew!" exclaimed Naruto, fixing his tie, walking up to Sasuke," It seems that they are really eager to make business with me, huh Sasuke!"

They know each other? Thought Hinata, looking at the two of them.

"Oh please," said Sasuke, in his cold voice," You meant to invite them so that they could go all crazy around you for your money. You know how business people are. They want you so they can make millions of money."

Naruto smiled," Yeah. I guess so, but they really ask questions! It's like twenty-one questions!" Naruto started laughing to himself. Hinata smiled at his sincerity.

"Sasuke, it's really you!"

Hinata stared wide-eyed as Ino hugged Sasuke's head. Ino was wearing a black dress with thin straps and it went up to her feet. Her hair was down and she had on pear earrings with a pear necklace with a pear bracelet also.

"Come dance with me!" exclaimed Ino, taking a confused Sasuke away from the table, practically being dragged away.

"Ino!" exclaimed Naruto, laughing his head off. He then was clonked on the head by Shikamaru.

"Hey, ramen boy, it's finally good to see you again, since you missed the huge wedding of your friend's huge day!" exclaimed Shikamru, giving Naruto a ruffle to his hair. Shikamaru was taller than Naruto.

"We thought you could come," said Temari, walking to the table. She was dressed in a purple dress that cascaded to her feet with the strap over her neck and her hair in a bun. She carried a black purse in her hands with a diamond ring next to her wedding ring in her ring finger.

Naruto scratched the back of his head," I'm really sorry, but you guys did get that wedding present right?"

"Wedding present?" said Kiba, popping up," What did you get them?"

Shikamaru and Temari blushed," Um… that is none of your business."

"Hey, c'mon, tell me!" exclaimed Kiba, he then looked at Naruto," What did you get them?"

Naruto grinned," I got them a yacht. A real huge one with an apology letter."

"Damn," said Kiba, whistling," Now that is a wedding present."

"Geez," said Shikamaru," It is a nice yacht, I suppose."

Hinata felt herself about to give way from giggles to laughter when she felt a pat on her shoulder.

"How is my little brother treating you?" asked Temari. She gave her a kind look which made Hinata blush.

"Leave her alone," said Gaara," What do you think I would do with her?" He looked at his sister with a cold look.

Temari shrugged as her husband fought with Kiba about the yacht thing," Well. I was just wondering. I mean, father says you are really in-"

"Just shut your mouth, sister," said Gaara, and he got up and pulled Hinata away from the table.

"Uh," said Hinata," Gaara! Your sister!" Hinata looked back at Gaara and at his friends as they became quiet and watched Gaara pull away Hinata.

"Hey," said Shikamaru, now in a serious tone," What did your brother do to you?" He may not talk to Gaara a lot, but anyone who tells his wife to shut up is in for a huge punch in the face.

Temari grinned," Nothing. Leave him alone, dear. It seems that what my father had said is true." She watched her little brother grow from a scared young boy to now. A cold young adult who was now in love with the most unexpected girl. Hinata Hyuuga.

"Why did Gaara get so mad and took Hinata away?" asked Naruto, pretty serious also.

"Hinata is Gaara's girlfriend, you dobe!" snapped Kiba, clonking Naruto on the head," Geez. You may be rich, but you sure are clueless about your friends' lives."

"Hey, I was gone on Hokkaido for a month, how was I supposed to know?" snapped Naruto.

X:X:X

"Gaara, you shouldn't have said that to you older sister," said Hinata, still being led by Gaara. She could feel his grip on her being tight and she winced at the pain.

"My business is none of yours," said Gaara," so leave it to me." He led her to the middle of the dancing floor and stopped and looked down silently.

"Gaara?" said Hinata, moving her head so she could see his eyes. "I'm sorry."

Gaara's eyes widened in shock. He could see Hinata staring straight at him with her beautiful white pearl eyes and he could feel his heart beat strong. He couldn't take it. He left the dancing ball room.

"Gaara! Wait!" exclaimed Hinata and followed him. Gaara was entering his red convertible and he turned on the ignition.

"Gaara!" exclaimed Hinata, pounding on the car, but not to hard," Please! Maybe we can talk about this." The car then drove off.

"Gaara," said Hinata softly, sadness in her eyes. She was worried about him. He seemed angry about what her sister was going to say. Hinata gave a low sigh and turned around.

She then stopped.

Sasuke was right outside and was staring at her. His onyx eyes staring at her white pearly ones. Hinata bowed.

"Hello, Sasuke-san," said Hinata, and looked up," I thought you were dancing with Ino?"

Sasuke grunted and looked at her," I ran away from her as soon as she got on the dance floor."

Hinata gave a small smile," I see. Why didn't you dance with her?" She walked up to him and looked up to see his face. He was taller than her, a few centimeters taller than Gaara. "Hmm?"

Sasuke blushed a bit embarrassingly and turned away and mumbled some words.

"What did you say?" asked Hinata.

"I can't dance," said Sasuke, softly, now looking at her.

Hinata blushed a bit as he looked at her. He was handsome she had to admit, but his eyes revealed sad eyes. Hinata smiled and took his arms and placed it at her waist.

"Here, let me teach you," said Hinata, placing an arm at his shoulder.

"I really can't dance," said Sasuke in a monotone voice," I mean it. I will step on your feet."

Hinata shook her head," It's okay, Sasuke-san. Just let me teach you." She then started to move him and take steps. Sasuke followed, holding onto her waist. She was a nice dancer.

"There," said Hinata," Now you have to lead me, now."

"I can't do it," said Sasuke, looking at her.

"C'mon, Sasuke-san," said Hinata, losing the sadness she felt earlier," A guy like you should know how to dance. You probably get asked a lot by girls to dance. It's a shame if they thought you couldn't dance." Hinata gave him a smile again," I'm waiting."

Sasuke stared at her. This was the first time he ever danced with anyone. Hinata was staring at him also, as if trying to understand him. Sasuke stared at his white pearly eyes and noticed that they held their own sadness also.

"Fine," said Sasuke, and he led her into the dancing room.\

"Sasuke-san?" said Hinata, and followed as he pulled her hand. They went to the dancing floor and Sasuke placed his hands on her waist and moved her arms to his shoulders.

"If I make a mistake," said Sasuke, in his cold voice," You'll be the laughingstock with me."

"Sure," said Hinata and they danced.

Everyone around them began noticing the two dancing and stared at them surprisingly. The cold Uchiha boy and the weak Hyuuga?

"Sasuke?" said Ino, lightly, as she rejoined with her friends at the table," Is he really dancing with Hinata?"

"Sure is," said Kiba, looking surprised at the two dancing," I think this is the first time Sasuke has ever danced with a girl before, don't you think?"

The old friends nodded.

"Sister," said Hanabi, looking at how Hinata and Sasuke just stared at each other endlessly. "What have you done?"

My heart is pounding so fast, thought Hinata, feeling her face flush. She finally turned her head away from Sasuke and stopped gazing at him.

"Do you like him?" asked Sasuke, still staring at her," Gaara Sabaku."

Hinata turned to Sasuke," Gaara?" The music finally stopped and everyone went back to their seats.

"Hey guys!" exclaimed Shikamaru, as he and Temari and the friends walked up to Hinata and Sasuke," Great dancing!"

Sasuke and Hinata finally let go of each other. Hinata rubbed her arms in embarrassment. Sasuke placed his hands inside pockets in his pants.

"You know, this is the first time that I have seen you dance with a girl," said Kiba, going to Sasuke and placing an arm on his shoulder.

"Don't touch me," said Sasuke coldy, looking down with his hair blocking his eyes.

"Hinata," said Temari," Where did my brother go?"

Hinata looked up and frowned a bit," He left."

"Hinata," said Naruto, saying the name as if sounding it out. "You are Gaara's girlfriend, right?"

Hinata nodded slowly.

"I see," said Naruto, staring at Sasuke and Hinata," Interesting."

Ino was silent and stared at Hinata at how she was blushing.

"Hinata, why did Gaara leave?" asked Ino sharply," You guys are a couple and yet you two aren't close. Why is that? Is it because you don't like him?"

Sasuke and Hinata looked up at Ino. Ino was staring at Hinata with cold and jealous eyes. She crossed her arms together.

"Um, Ino," said Hinata, trying to explain. "It's just that-"

"Ino!" exclaimed Kiba," What are you trying to say? Gaara says he already likes Hinata already. And Hinata probably likes Gaara, also. He told me that he really likes her, so what are you saying, then? Just because Sasuke and Hinata danced doesn't mean they are having feelings with each other, right Sasuke?"

Hinata's eyes went big, What?

Sasuke looked at Kiba," You are right."

"See, what I told ya!" exclaimed a laughing Kiba," Now let's all get along and have a good party. Gaara probably just had some things to attend to, right Hinata?" Hinata gave a small nod.

Kiba then walked away, still counseling Ino.

"Well, I guess that Temari and I better head off home," said Shikamaru, shaking hands with Naruto," See ya later."

"Hinata," said Temari.

"Hm?" answered Hinata and looked at Temari. Temari gave her a smile," Be careful with my brother, okay?" Hinata gave a small smile and nodded. The married couple than left.

Naruto sighed and scratched the back of his head," Well, I guess that stirred up a trouble a bit." He looked at Hinata and noticed that far off look of sadness.

"Hinata?" said Hanabi, looking at her. She walked up to Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata.

"Yes?" answered Hinata, walking up to her sister.

"I have school tomorrow, so do you want to come home with me early? Father will come home later," asked Hanabi, giving a worried look to Hinata. She then looked at Naruto," It seems there is still a business deal to be made."

Naruto laughed," Well! I guess so!" He scratched the back of his head.

Hinata nodded," Sure." She then turned to Sasuke and Naruto," It was a pleasure meeting you, Naruto-san. And Sasuke-san?"

"Hm?" said Sasuke, looking at her.

Hinata gave a small smile," It was nice dancing with you." She bowed to both of them and walked away with Hanabi.

Naruto looked at Sasuke as he had turned away again and started walking away.

"Hey, Sasuke," said Naruto, walking with his friend," Where are you going?"

"Home," said Sasuke, leaving the dancing room. He walked to his black car.

"Hey," said Naruto, stopping," Do you like Hinata?"

Sasuke stopped.

"I don't like anyone."

Sasuke got into his car and drove off. Naruto watched the car leave and he had a pained look in his face.

"First you take Sakura away from me," said Naruto," And now you are taking Hinata away from Gaara." Naruto gave a smirk and walked in.

Author's Notes: Hey, guys! Hope you liked this chappie. It had at least some Sasuke/Hinata. I guess that you guys aren't seeing a lot of fluff, but I really want this "blossoming love" to bloom slowly, like any relationship heading toward true love. Yes, a bit corny, you might think, but this is what I am heading towards. Thanks for reading and I will be very thankful if you review!
