Mshinata: Gomen, gomen. –Sweat drops- I never really can find the time to update anymore…BUT I'll try my best! –Smiles-
Sasuke: Your best isn't good enough.
Mshinata: -ignores Sasuke- I'm starting on some other fan fics that you guys voted on that poll. So far, the butler/maid and the rivals are winning. It's really hard for me to write those! Agh! I just realized…I have to go change something in my butler/maid story. UGH! –Sighs- Oh, it's alright. I completely LOVE long reviews! Woot! Short reviews are great too…but still…I like to see what people think of my writing rather than saying, "Great chapter. I want to read the next one." I mean…I'm glad you like my fan fic; it's just that…I need inspiration:D I've been searching for some other SasuHina fan fics for inspiration too.
Sasuke: -reads some SasuHina fan fics- I like Sunset by ofnonimportance. She makes Hina-chan sexy.
Everyone stares at Sasuke like he's crazy.
Sasuke: …what? –Blinks-
Mshinata: I agree with Sasuke…on the liking the fan fic part…not the sexy part. You creep me out, Sasuke. Anyways, another great fan fic that gave me inspiration was He Lives in my Room! by Archee-chan. It gives me inspiration, too. It's actually really, really well-written…
Sasuke: Get on with the story. You're boring them.
Mshinata: -knocks Sasuke out- I do not own Naruto or any character specified in this fan fic. If I did, Neji would be owned by Kaguya-chan. I would also make Hinata a genius like Neji. By the way…Nanako-chan, I love L. :P Hehe. –Giggle- Also…sorry if this chapter sucks. –Bows-
Hinata fidgeted. She turned around cautiously, because she heard some noise. Sasuke sighed.
"It's alright." Sasuke said, sitting down by her on a bench. They were moved to the movie set inside of a building. It was time for the scene where the two main characters were to kiss. "Fan girls can't get in…no matter what they try."
"D-demo…" Hinata looked up at Sasuke with a worried expression.
"Besides…" Sasuke leaned in on Hinata's neck. "I'll be here to protect you." She shivered as Sasuke's breath touched her bare neck.
"U-um…" Hinata said bravely. "H-have you seen Ino or TenTen?" Sasuke backed away from her personal bubble.
"Iie." Sasuke closed his eyes. "They should be at work by now…"
Hinata played with the edge of her jacket. Where were Ino, Gaara, TenTen, and Temari?
"Yo Hinata-chan," A guy came into the movie set. He made a curt wave to the couple and flashed a toothy grin.
"Deidara-sempai." Hinata stood up and bowed. "Where is everybody?" Hinata looked around.
Deidara sighed.
"We have to reschedule the filming…again. President…is…well…um…" Deidara sweat dropped. "President thinks we need more time before we can start shooting…besides…Itachi-kun isn't here."
"And Tsunade-sama agreed with this?" Sasuke stood up as well.
"Y-yeah." Deidara crossed his arms. "Well…you two are dismissed." Deidara began to walk away from the couple and headed towards Tsunade's office.
"Iie." Sasuke said suddenly. Deidara turned around while Hinata looked worriedly up at Sasuke. "I want to speak with Tsunade-sama."
Deidara's eyes widened.
"If you want to speak with her, you can talk about your problems with me." Deidara said firmly.
"Gomen," Sasuke said. "I have to speak with her. If I don't, I'm quitting this movie…and you know how much money she'll lose?" Sasuke raised a brow. "Last time I checked, she hated losing."
Deidara once again sighed. This kid was getting on his nerves.
"Fine." Deidara said, signaling them to follow him into Tsunade's office.
Hinata just didn't understand why Sasuke wanted to talk to Tsunade. She knew what kind of person Tsunade was just by looking at her. Tsunade was a person to get easily angered, and the person who would get on her bad side would be dead.
Deidara knocked on her office door.
"Come in." Deidara opened the door. "Deidara...what business do you have with me?" Tsunade raised a brow. She looked past Deidara and saw Sasuke and Hinata.
"Tsunade-sama," Sasuke said, entering the room. "We need to talk."
Tsunade sighed.
"What is it?"
There was an awkward silence for about twenty seconds.
"…the reason why you're postponing the filming to later dates is because…of Itachi…?" Sasuke raised a brow.
Tsunade was sitting in her desk, frowning.
"I knew it." Sasuke said. "He also has something to do with that article Karin wrote."
"I never intended for you and Hinata to find out about that." Tsunade said strictly.
"Well…unfortunately for you, we did." Sasuke said.
"Wait…then why does the filming have to be done later? The article has nothing to do with the movie." Hinata pointed out.
"You're wrong." Tsunade said. She sighed. "This is really hard to explain…"
Sasuke glared at the woman. She could just spit it out already instead of thinking about what kind of alcohol she wanted for tonight. He clenched his fists.
"I want to stop any personal news that's going to get to the public, but then…I can't." Tsunade closed her eyes in frustration. "The reason why we keep postponing the dates is because of one person."
"Haruno…Sakura." Sasuke said darkly.
"That's right." Tsunade said. "Kabuto keeps having the idea of suing us for not letting her have the lead."
"Nani?! But that's a stupid reason to sue! So, it can't be figured out in court, because it's too stupid!" Deidara retorted.
"Iie Deidara…you're forgetting one thing. Kabuto is one of the sneakiest photographers ever. If Sakura didn't take this picture, he would have resorted to suing us." Tsunade said.
"So what you're saying is…" Sasuke said. "Haruno is blackmailing us until we get her to be the heroine?" Tsunade nodded. "Tch. She picked the perfect timing to fucking blackmail us."
"So to speak…Itachi-kun…and Haruno-san…are helping each other." Hinata pondered.
"To get what they want…" Sasuke muttered. "Damn it!" He punched Tsunade's desk.
"You're lucky it didn't break…or I would have made you pay for my new one." Tsunade smiled back.
oO0Oo
"I didn't take the picture." A gray-haired man with glasses simply stated, cleaning the lens of his camera.
"Oh really?!" Ino shouted in his face.
"Kabuto, we have ways of getting the truth out of you!" TenTen yelled in his face. Ino, TenTen, Temari, and Gaara decided to go visit Kabuto, Sakura's photographer.
Temari sighed of frustration. Why must I put up with these idiots…?
"It's not him." Gaara muttered to his sister who was standing beside him.
"I know." Temari said.
Gaara pondered. He already stated that it was none of the photographers here…maybe it was…someone who hated Sasuke or Hinata. Tch…Gaara hated Sasuke, but he couldn't have done it unconsciously, so that leaves him out. On the other hand…there's Naruto. Gaara nodded inwardly.
"Temari," Gaara started. "Let's go visit Naruto…shall we?"
Temari blinked.
"Eh? Why?"
"Just tell the two girls to follow me." Gaara said.
oO0Oo
"I really hate this." Sasuke sighed. He slouched on the bench that was in Konoha's park. It seemed like it was the most peaceful place for him to think.
Hinata took a glance at the slouching Sasuke. He looked like a true model. If there were any fan girls around, they'd probably be punching Hinata out and sitting in Hinata's spot to stare at the model. She boldly placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"I know…but still…we have to get through this." Hinata said tiredly. It was only in the morning but still, Hinata was tired. Sasuke closed his eyes. Uchihas did NOT blush, so he just tried to calm himself down.
"That reminds me…how did you know where I ran off to?" Sasuke opened his eyes.
"Um…" Hinata opened her eyes. "N-Naruto-kun sort of helped me…"
Sasuke sighed.
"Damn it."
"What's wrong?" Hinata asked.
"I said mean things to Naruto…well…meaner than the usual." Sasuke corrected himself.
"Then go apologize." Hinata said. Sasuke broke away from Hinata's head on his shoulder and stared at her like she was crazy. "Oh…Uchihas don't apologize." She giggled.
"Is that…it is! Girls, girls! It's Uchiha Sasuke-kun!"
"Is that…is that a girl with him?!"
"Yeah, it is! I saw her in the cover of a magazine the other day!"
"Oh yeah…they're dating…screw that girl!"
"Let's go kill her!"
Sasuke's sharp hearing earned Hinata a save. The fan girls that were just gossiping tried to jump Hinata from behind the bench, but Sasuke pinned Hinata to the ground. She was on the bottom while Sasuke was on top. She blushed redder than ever while Sasuke's blush finally showed as well. Sasuke heard the fan girls getting up from their uncomfortable position and quickly grabbed Hinata's hand. He pulled it and ran away somewhere.
The couple finally stopped in an alley and panted. Sasuke put a hand on the brick wall to steady himself.
"You alright?" Sasuke said, looking at Hinata. Hinata nodded, giving Sasuke a nervous smile. "We can't go out like this…" Hinata nodded again.
"We need…a disguise." Hinata said.
"Yeah." Sasuke said. "But there's nothing close by that we can find a disguise." Hinata handed him a little brush from her pocket. Sasuke blinked at Hinata.
"Brush your hair down. It's always so spiky…maybe that's how some of the fan girls find you…?" Hinata said nervously.
"Maybe you're right." Sasuke sighed. He took the brush from Hinata and brushed his hair down. She giggled. "Nani?"
"You look like Sai-kun." Hinata smiled. Sasuke's expression turned dark.
"I was afraid of that." Sasuke replied. "They'll still recognize me and you…" Hinata pondered.
"That's alright. You're lucky that you look like Sai-kun. As long as the fan girls don't think it's you, I'm fine. Sai-kun smiles a lot, so you try to smile a lot…okay?" Hinata said. Sasuke twitched and averted her gaze.
"Smiling is gay." Sasuke said darkly.
"Demo, you never smile when you model! So, it's perfect for you to!" Hinata said. Sasuke sighed.
He tried to smile as best as he could. Hinata laughed.
"Close enough." She said and pulled him out of the alley.
oO0Oo
"I swear I didn't take the picture, okay?!" Naruto shouted back at Ino and TenTen.
"Well, you and Sasuke-kun can get into a lot of fights!" Ino retorted.
"I wouldn't sink that low...even Sasuke wouldn't sink that low!" Naruto angrily pouted and crossed his arms. Temari sighed.
"The idiot's right. Sasuke would only do that to Itachi." Temari said, patting TenTen's and Ino's shoulder. The two sighed.
"Hey…" Naruto said. "If you're looking for the person who took that picture…ask one of the models."
Ino blinked.
"Why?" TenTen asked. Naruto shrugged.
"You said that the picture didn't look professional right? So maybe one of the models did it." Naruto said.
"Thanks." Gaara said and walked away.
"Hey!!! Wait for us!" Ino said as the other three girls ran after Gaara. Naruto blinked.
"The modeling agency is like…thirty minutes away from here on foot…oh well. Not my problem." Naruto smiled and walked off.
"Gaara-kun," Ino caught up with him. "What are you-"
"Sakura." Gaara muttered. Ino's eyes widened.
"You don't think…" Gaara nodded.
"She's the only person who I can think of who has hated Hinata ever since she met her." Gaara said.
"You're a genius, Gaara-kun!" Ino hugged his arm. He blushed a little. "C'mon let's go!!!" She pulled his arm and ran.
"Hey!!! Don't run too fast!" TenTen yelled as Temari followed her.
Gaara…and…Ino? Temari smirked. Ooo, sounds cute. (Okay…gomen. Gaara and Ino was asked by someone and I had to do it. I never thought of that couple! Okay…Neji and Ino were coming your way but I don't know. It's my lovely reviewers' choice, so please vote for either NejiIno or GaaIno.)
oO0Oo
"That's Uchiha Sasuke-kun!"
"Wait, wait…Sasuke-kun doesn't smile like that."
"Ew, that guy's creepy."
"No kidding…that smile creeps me out."
"Let's stay away from him!"
Hinata giggled as she held Sasuke's hand.
"I swear…I'm going to die from smiling too much." Sasuke said, returning to his serious expression. Hinata laughed.
"It's alright. Sai-kun seems perfectly fine with it." Hinata said.
"Tch." Sasuke scoffed. Sasuke pulled Hinata along to the Uchiha estate since it seemed to be the closest and safest place to go.
In the back of Hinata's mind, she kept thinking about the movie and how it was going to end. All the things Tsunade and Deidara discussed kept replaying in her mind. She wished for all of it to be done, so she could spend time with Sasuke. He seemed like he wanted the movie to be done, too. Actually…Hinata had a feeling that Sasuke didn't want to even do the movie. He seemed so irritated at it at times. She squeezed his hand.
"…hey." Sasuke stopped. Hinata blinked. "You do realize the kiss scene is the last scene…?"
"H-hai." Hinata replied. Sasuke gripped her hand tighter.
"As soon as this movie's done," Sasuke started. "We're sticking to photo shoots and modeling…okay?" Hinata immediately nodded. Sasuke smirked. "Good." He pulled her along the streets of Konoha as they headed back to the Uchiha estate.
oO0Oo
"HARUNO SAKURA!!!" Ino ran through the modeling agency's doors as she headed towards Sakura.
"Security! Somone, please help! A pig's trying to attack me!" Sakura squeaked. Ino had angry marks all over her face.
"Say that to my face, Sakura!!!" Ino shouted as Gaara and Temari held her back from ripping Sakura's organs out.
"Your face already shows that you're a pig, Ino." Sakura smirked and crossed her arms.
"SA-KU-RA!!!" Ino struggled, trying to gain herself free from the clutches of Gaara and Temari.
"Calm down, girl!" Temari shouted, irritated.
"Let me handle her." TenTen said, pushing Gaara aside.
"Haruno Sakura…is it?" Gaara said, walking towards Sakura.
"Why…hello Gaara-kun." Sakura said flirtatiously. Gaara inwardly rolled his eyes.
"Tell me…" Gaara walked closer towards Sakura as she backed away until she backed into a wall. He had his hands on both sides of her head on the wall. Sakura faked her innocence. Ino was angrier than ever now. "Do you like taking pictures?"
"O-of course…" Sakura ran her finger down his chest. Gaara really hated this.
"Oh really?" Gaara asked with fake interest. "What kind?"
"Different kinds…scandal pictures are my favorite I guess." Sakura said.
"Interesting." Gaara smirked. "Well, that's all I need to know." Gaara backed away from Sakura and walked towards the three girls. "She definitely took it."
"Sakura!" Temari and TenTen shouted angrily and walked towards her.
"Gaara-kun! Why the hell did you do that?! She was definitely about to rape you!" Ino scolded. Gaara sighed.
"It was the only choice I had. Besides…she wasn't going to tell me otherwise." Gaara said, running his hand through his hair.
"Don't do that…okay? I hate it when guys try to fake a flirting session." Ino looked down. Gaara had a tinge of blush on his face but was confused and raised a brow.
"You're just so selfish!" Temari bellowed out at Sakura's face. "You just want Uchiha Sasuke."
"Hmm…I guess." Sakura said, putting a finger to her lips.
"That's stupid!" TenTen said. "He'll never fall for you!"
"Every guy has fallen for me. He has to give in sometime." Sakura rolled her eyes and put a hand to her hip. "Besides…give me the role of the heroine and I'll remove all the magazines from the whole nation. I'll even make sure nobody even remembers what happened."
Everyone became quiet. Could Sakura really do that? All of the friends did not want poor little Hinata hurt. She was too fragile. She could break any time and regret even loving Sasuke. It was the fame and glory…it was always those two. That's why a lot of celebrities wished they had a normal life. The fan girls could totally offend her deeply.
"It's not our decision." Gaara said, breaking the silence. Everyone looked at him. "It's Hinata's…and Sasuke's decision." His mouth twitched from saying Sasuke's name. Sakura scowled.
"Fine." She turned around from the group. "Tell them what I just told you…okay? Whatever their answer is affects their career, love life, and personal problems." And Sakura walked away.
oO0Oo
"We're home." Sasuke called out.
"Welcome home, Sasuke-sama." Isumi said, running up to him. She saw Hinata sleeping on his back. He was carrying Hinata on his back. How cute. "Aww…did Hinata-neechan get tired?" Sasuke shrugged and nodded.
"Well," Sasuke sighed. "We had a long day." He gently put her on the couch. Sasuke sat down on the edge of the couch's seat and caressed his soul mate's cheek. She flinched at the touch but became comfortable with it after a few seconds. He caressed it like it was a soft pillow.
"Would you like anything to eat, Sasuke-sama?" Isumi asked.
"Iie." Sasuke said. "Where's Itachi?" Isumi sighed.
"I'm not sure…he's been going out a lot lately." Isumi said, going into the kitchen.
"Tch. Good." Sasuke replied. "No one wants to see his ugly face." Isumi nervously laughed.
"That's not a very nice thing to say, Sasuke-sama." Isumi said, resuming to washing the dishes.
"Whoever said I was nice?" Sasuke asked. After thirty minutes of staring at the sleeping angel, he finally decided to pick her up and bring her to her temporary room. He picked her up bridal style and walked down the hallway. He brought her inside her room and pulled the covers over her.
"Sasuke-sama," Isumi whispered, popping her head inside Hinata's room.
"Nani?" Sasuke asked.
"It's for you." Isumi said, giving the phone to him.
"Sasuke here." Sasuke simply said.
"Sasuke."
"Neji."
"May I have a word with you…? Say…tonight at the local coffee shop near your house?" Neji asked. Sasuke sighed.
"Fine. Whatever."
"Arigato." And Neji hung up. What could he possibly want this time?
Sasuke kicked a can that was lying on the sidewalk. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jacket. Neji probably wanted to kill him for keeping his sweet little cousin locked up in the Uchiha estate. He entered the coffee shop and found a stressed-out Neji sitting in a booth near the back.
"Ah Sasuke, gomen for asking you to come so late." Neji looked up. Sasuke walked towards him and sat down right across from him.
"It's Hinata's fault for being too lazy to go home." Sasuke said. Neji had an angry mark on her face.
"She is not lazy…and I'm not here to talk about how I'm going to kick your ass…yet." Neji finished the last part. He cleared his throat. "As you know…Haruno Sakura was the one who took the picture on that magazine. You know…she called our apartment today." Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Nani? Why?" He asked. Neji shook his head.
"I don't know. But you know she talked about Hinata dropping out of the movie." Neji said.
"Why?!" Sasuke slammed his fists on the table.
"I'm not done, yet." Neji said.
"Oh, there's more?" Sasuke rolled his eyes in irritation.
"Just listen." Neji said darkly. "She said she was giving Hinata a way out for that article." Neji sighed.
"Tch. She wants something in return, I'm guessing." Sasuke replied. Neji nodded. "What does she want?"
"The role of the heroine." Neji said. "But this girl…she's making it impossible for her to film because she just spilled where they were shooting the last scene."
"The kiss scene…" Sasuke said. Neji nodded.
"Now that fan girls know where they are, security can't handle a large amount of fan girls." Neji said. "So…they'll be attacking Hinata-sama most of the time…that's why Tsunade-sama keeps rescheduling the filming of that scene."
"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed. "She's really not giving us a choice…"
"I figured that out too…" Neji said.
"So now what?" Sasuke asked.
"Why are you asking me?" Neji raised a brow.
"Because you're the genius of the Hyuuga family!"
"Yeah, but you're in the movie itself. I don't even know what to do." Neji sighed. "Talk to Hinata-sama tomorrow morning." Neji stood up. "I'll see to you later." Neji made a curt wave and left the Uchiha, sitting there…
What the hell am I supposed to say to her?! Sasuke thought.
To be continued…
Mshinata: Gomenasai for not updating!!! –Cries- I really am sorry…I feel so bad. I haven't had the time to update in so long…I feel guilty. –Cries-
Sasuke: You were too busy hanging out with friends.
Mshinata: I hope everyone understands…I do have friends and I hang out with them a lot so…OH!!! Arigato ofnonimportance, she stopped me from hitting myself when I felt sorry for Sasuke.
Sasuke: Tch. Self-abuse.
Mshinata: Well at least I don't cut myself!
Sasuke: Eh, true.
Mshinata: hyperaznmonkey12, I don't know. I just get inspired by things around me, you know? The best way to find inspiration and ideas is to read other people's fan fics. They really make you want to write more. You can never be too exaggerating on the characters you write about, so…like…I make Ino sweet and then she's yelling at someone. xD –laughs- It's fun to write like that! Kukuku…I love Gaara-kun, too.
Gaara: Thank you.
Sasuke: -looks at all of the reviews- HEY!!! How come most of the reviews talk about how they still love Gaara and Itachi?
Mshinata: -clears throat- Gaara-kun is actually forgiving and sweet while you are revengeful and sour. Itachi-sama is polite while you are rude. Does that answer your question?
Sasuke: Imperfections make you who you are.
Mshinata: True, but those imperfections make you a bastard.
Sasuke: Grrr. I ran out of comebacks.
Gaara: Please give the writer reviews while duck butt tries to think of lame comebacks. –Rolls eyes-
Mshinata: Also…GOMEN FOR MAKING IT SHORT! –Cries-
