Chapter 11: A forbidden Secert

A/N: I AM sooooo SORRY! Like I said, It'll take me longer and longer just to get these stories updated. But anyway, enjoy!

As days went by, the festival finally came. Hinata looked in front of the mirror. She smiled to herself. She had wore a lavander kimono with white lilies on the bottom and one on her left chest. Her obi was purple with petals on them. She had make up on her as well.

"Well, it's finally here. Once this is over...I can go back to wearing my original clothes." Hinata look at herself one more time before leaving her bedroom to go to the main room.

Once Hinata got there, no one was really there yet. She smiled to herself. It was quiet and peaceful. She never got the chance to look at the place. She was drawn into it. The ceiling was color like the sky as the walls were pale peach with gold on them. It sparkle so wonderful.

"Such beauty." Hinata touch the golden wall.

"Hey." A girl spoke.

Hinata turn around quickly to see who it was. She was surprise to see who it was. "Tenten...you look very...stunning."

"Hehehe. I could say the same to you." Tenten smiled at her.

Tenten had wore a pink kimono with red roses on parts of the kimono and her obi was blue and plain. She had put on make up, which made her even more beautiful.

Tenten smiled at her. "Are...you..."

"I'm happy to see her again."

"Yeah." Tenten sat down with a frown.

"Mm...hey?" Hinata turn around to look at Tenten.

"What?"

"Neji will probably blush seeing you like that and even faint if you give him a kiss on the lips." Hinata grin at Tenten, who was blushing.

"I-I don't know what y-you're talking about. B-Besides...we're not even dating." Tenten argue.

"Tch. I bet that the two of you are dating secretly." Hinata smirk at this.

"Y-yeah r-r-right!" Tenten said angrily while blushing hard.

"I'm right aren't I?" Hinata gave her a triumphant look.

"Fine...you win. He...We...will...I...HE KISSED ME FIRST!" Tenten shout it out.

"He KISSED you?! When?!" Hinata sat down, anxious to know.

"Well...it started when...before we saw Ifalna..."

Flash Back

KNOCK KNOCK

Tenten woke up from her slumber as she heard the door. She came up to it and opened it to see Neji standing right there. It surprised her seeing him.

"N-Neji...what are you doing here? This late at night?" Tenten groan.

"I have something to ask you."

"Oh...okay, come on in."

"Um..." Neji debat weather to tell her or not.

"Yes Neji?" Tenten said sleepily.

"I...how do I say it..."


"WOULD you SPILL it ALREADY!" Tenten yelled.

"Tenten I..." He paused. Never in his life has he ever had it hard...trying to speak to Tenten."

"Oh my GOSH Neji! Would you just say it ALREADY! I mean come on! I'm trying to sleep here too! And it's soooooooo LATE! I NEED my sleep! Damn it! Kami help us already! At LEAST make him TALK whatever he's going to say so that I can SLEEP! My GOS--"

Tenten's eyes grew wide and big! She couldn't believe that she was being...being KISSED by NEJI! She didn't even know what to do!

Finally Neji let go and looked her straight in the eyes. "Tenten...I...love you. Will you go out with me?" Neji looked at her in the eyes.

"Ne-Neji I..." She blushed rememebering the kiss. "I..."

Neji waited for her answer to come and was getting impatient as well.

"Yes."

Neji hugged her. Tenten smiled at him.

"Hey."

"Yes?"

"When did you...fall for me?" Tenten looked at him in the eyes.

Neji smiled at her. "For a long time."

Tenten smiled at him and lean up to kiss him again.

End Flash Back

"He Did THAT?!" Hinata looked at her shock.

"Yeah. Isn't it romantic?" Tenten sigh with a smile.

"I don't know about romantic, but...at least he finally said something. He should've TOLD me about it!" Hinata said angrily.

"Hehehe. How could he? We're acting as princess?" Tenten laughed.

"That's true." Hinata also laughed.

Tenten looked at Hinata. "It's been weeks since you laughed.

"Huh?" Hinata looked at her confused.

"You've been so glomy for the past weeks right after Ifalna came back."

"Have I? I haven't really notice." Hinata sighed.

"Hm...Hinata...do you like Sasuke?" Tenten looked her in the eye.

"What?! No way! Why would I LIKE him?!" Hinata laughed it off.

"You like him don't you." Tenten stated the obvious.

"Yeah." Hinata hung her head low.

"Than...why don't you tell him?" Tenten looked at her.

"I'll hurt Ifalna."

"Hurt her...why?" Tenten asked.

"They're dating..." Hinata felt like crying so badly.

"Again...It really does seem like she back...but...just when things are like this." Tenten sighed. "Does...he know?"

"Mm. He knows that I like him and I know that he likes me."

"Than Why is he dating HER?!" Tenten yelled. "Our Ifalna died LONG ago! This isn't her! This isn't our Ifalna! She would understand!" Tenten looked at the crying Hinata.

"But..."

"But what?!"

"I'm dating Kouji."

"Your what?!" Tenten was confused. "Why would you date someone you clearly don't love?" Tenten calmed down.

"We're...I'm trying to...I don't know how to explain it at all."

"The two of you are just hurting each other and yourselves by dating others who you think you can try to love or think you love them." Tenten sigh. "It doesn't matter anymore. Let's go."

"Where?" Hinata asked her.

"The festival."

"Right."

The two left the house to go to the festival to meet up with the lords and everyone else, little do they know that someone was listening to their conversation from the start.

Some minutes later, everyone at the festival playing. Sasuke was with Ifalna and Hinata was with Kouji. They were having fun. Well...tried. Ifalna was having fun the most. Sasuke didn't really care. His mind was else where, thinking about Hinata. Kouji isn't having that much fun since he knew Hinata wasn't paying that much attention to what they're doing at all. He mostly sigh, knowing that Hinata is probably looking at Sasuke, who isn't that far away from them.

"Hinata, if you want...you can go to him." Kouji suggested.

"Huh? No. It's okay. He's with Ifalna." Hinata smiled sadly.

"It's not okay. You...love him don't you? You pay attention to him more than me Hina." Kouji frown.

"Sorry. I'm trying my best." Hinata smiled at him sadly.

"Don't try..." His expression was even sadder.

"Eh?"

"Say you'll do it." He looked at her in the eyes.

"Mm. I'll do it." Hinata smiled at him.

"That's good." He hugged.

The two walked around the place for awhile. They were actually having fun now right after the talk. It had been an hour already. They had decided to stop and eat. They had some rice balls and sweet rolls with tea. Once almost finish, a ninja appeared in front of them. He looked at Kouji.

"Kouji...your needed."

"Ah...alright than. Sorry if I have to leave you Hina."

"It's okay. See you later than." Kouji got up and left Hinata all alone. "It's really okay...It's not...okay..."

Ifalna dragged Sasuke to the trainning area. She splashed water on him and he splashed her back. It lasted for 30 minutes. They have finally stop playing around, because Ifalna had to go freshen up.

"Wait here kay." Ifalna smiled at him and left.

Sasuke stared up at the sky. He frown because he though of Hinata at that excat moment. He didn't want to at all. He sighed. He heard rustles in the bush. He turn around to see none other than Hinata staring right back at him. She was about to leave, but he grab ahold of her wrist.

"Wait...don't...go." Sasuke begged.

"Alright."

The two sat down and soaked their feet into the pond.

"Where's Kouji?" Sasuke asked.

"He had to go."

"I see."

"Where's Ifalna?" Hinata asked.

"Freshen up."

"Hm...I see." Hinata looked at him. "How's everything?"

"Hn." He also looked at her. "You?"

"Pity."

"Hm?" Sasuke was confuse by her answer.

"I'm so stupid Sasuke...I don't know why...I feel like I'm just using Kouji to get you. I feel greedy when I see you with her and when your not...I feel relief. Because I want you to all myself. I don't want you with her." Hinata could feel the tears in her eyes. "I'm so stupid. I know I shouldn't. I don't want to hurt Ifalna."

"Hn." Sasuke turn to look at the water. "I want you to all myself as well. I hate seeing you with him." He sighed.

"I'm...leaving. It wouldn't be right if she saw me with you. She probably think that we're doing something behind her back." Hinata got up quickly to leave but Sasuke held her from behind.

"Is fate that cruel to us? We can't even be with each other." Sasuke seemed like he was going to cry.

"No...I guess we weren't meant to be with each other." Hinata knew that the tears had started to fall.

"I'll break up with her! Because...I...want you." Sasuke shouted it out to her, surprising her.

"No. You'll make her cry." Hinata opposed it.

"And make you cry instead?!" He argued.

"I'm sorry...you can't do that. Because...Kouji...I cou-"

Sasuke had turn her around and kissed her. She knew she shouldn't but...she kissed him back, crying. She didn't want to let go, nor did he.

"No...you...said you loved me...was that a lie...Sasuke?" Ifalna ran away from the training area after seeing Sasuke and Hinata kissed. She had came back and saw everything the two had talked about. She didn't know what to do anymore. She went far away from them and the festival. She couldn't bare it. She didn't know where she was anymore, but at a clearing.

"Why?" Ifalna crouched down and cried.

"Ku ku ku."

Her eyes widen. "Who's there?!" She demanded.

Two person came out of the shadows, revealing who they were to her. Ifalna got into a fighting stance. She was ready to fight the two if they tried anything.

"Seems like you experiment is trying to kill you." The guy with silver hair chuckled.

"Seems so." The guy with black hair licked his lips with his purple tongue.

"W-who are you?!" Ifalna demanded again.

"The ones who created you Ifalna-chan." The guys fixed his glass in place.

"Tell me who are you?!" She demanded once more.

"If you insit. I'm Kabuto and this here is Orochimaru-sama. The one who brought you back to life with his forbidden jutsu." Kabuto explain with a smile on his face.

"N-no! Your wrong!" Ifalna took a step back.

"Ku ku ku. Such beauty." Ifalna was stun. She couldn't believe he was right in front of her and he body wouldn't move! "I can see why Sasuke-kun had fallen in love with you from the very start."

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Ifalna looked at him with scared eyes.

"Ku ku ku. It's time we fill her in." Orochimaru commanded.

"Yes Orochimaru-sama."

Ifalna started to back away. She didn't know why she couldn't fight him. She knew she could...but...he's stopping her from doing so...Orochimaru. She ran, but only to see Kabuto there. She ran the other way only to see Orochimaru and his clones. She lost. They took her away.

Sasuke still waited for Ifalna to come back. Hinata had left awhile ago with Neji and Tenten. He was getting impatient, waiting for Ifalna to come back. He knew something was wrong. So he went and check the girls bathroom, by asking Tenten to check, since she was near the bathroom. She wasn't in there at all.

Sasuke checked the other places where she could be and even asked Neji to use his byakugan to check the places and to no avil, Ifalna wasn't there. He went to the training ground, hoping to find her there. He got angry at the idea of her ditching him out of nowhere. He came to a clearing, somewhere he wasn't sure of and saw something on the ground. It was a ring. A shiny silver ring with a dragon on it. He observed it and look closely and saw Ifalna's name crave on it. He couldn't believe it!

"Damn it! She's been kidnapped!" He hurried of to Hokage-sama to tell her of the news.

"Ku ku ku." Orochimaru looked up at his expirement. "Beautiful."

She was in a tank, full with water around her. She had an oxygen mask on her. There were many lines put on her, to know if anything was wrong with her or not. She slept in there, even still trying to resist the treatment they were giving her, but it wasn't working at all.

"She's putting up such a fight, but can't win no matter what." Kabuto shook his head.

"Inject it on her. It'll be more easier to control her and follow my orders." Orochimaru commended.

"Mm."

"This will be fun. Wait and see Sasuke-kun. Your body will be mines." Orochimaru smiled his sinister smiled.
