BREAKING NEWS
UCHIHA SASUKE'S MARRIAGE A SHAM!?
ANONYMOUS CALLER TELLS US ABOUT THE STATE OF THEIR MARRIAGE.
"Brian, I found this piece of news quite shocking."
"Carol, I agree with you. I always thought the Uchiha couple had a perfect marriage."
" The anonymous caller had informed that us that the couple haven't shared the same bedroom for nearly two years!"
Brian let out a low whistle. Carol's eyebrows were raised to her hairline.
"There are some rumors that Uchiha Sasuke might be cheating on her as well."
Images of Uchiha Sasuke and other woman flashed across the screen...
Kakashi clicked off the television; this was public relation's worst nightmare. In fact, it was his worse nightmare. The press was having a field day, ever since the report aired this morning. The reporters have the building surrounded with their cameras and microphones, wanting a statement. Due, their lack of response, all the reporters were calling his boss's marriage a sham.
Uchiha Sasuke's perfect marriage to Hyuuga Hinata a sham! It was preposterous thing even to suggest right? He sighed deeply, how was he going to get the Uchiha Corp out this one?
His phone rang the millionth time; it was his secretary.
"Dr. Uchiha and Miss Hyuuga are here to see you. Should I send them up?"
"Yes."
In a few minutes, Uchiha Itachi and Hyuuga Hanabi came into the office. Both of them were looking grim but there was a glint in their eyes.
"What can I do for you two?" asked Kakashi tiredly. There could only one reason, both of them would be seen together, it was always about their siblings. It was either good news or extremely bad news, he hoped for the former.
"We are here to help," said Hanabi.
"How? Everyone is calling your sister's marriage a sham. Unless, we can magically prove how great their marriage is."
Itachi smiled, "of course we can. We just have to create news that bigger and better than this. Listen, this is all you have to do. "
Hinata gritted her teeth, she was angry. Actually she was more than angry, she was furious. When she woke up today, she felt pretty good because she was leaving for Paris in two days. However, her mood was totally ruined when the first thing she saw was her dirty laundry being flaunt on public T.V. She even dropped her favourite china cup, which worsen her mood considerably. Now, she was sitting beside him, in their private jet, flying to god knows where.
Kakashi, Sasuke's public relation manager made the arrangements. They were forced to leave the city until things calm down. All she could do comply. She glanced over at her husband, she could obvious tell that he was hangover. It was his perpetual state these days.
"Please buck your seatbelts; we are going to land soon."
She glared at his peaceful face and gave him a hard jab in the ribs. He looked her at sleepily, his dark hair was gently covered his eyes handsome, dark eyes. It was strange that he could still look so good during such a state.
"Buckle up." She said with exasperation.
"Hn."
"Where the hell are we?" was the first thing Sasuke said when they got off the plane. There were only palm trees as far as the eye could see. The sky was so blue it looked like it was painted. It was hot with only a slight breeze.
"Welcome to Mirihi Island, a private resort island located in Maldives."
"Let me show you the way to your accommodations," said the friendly tour guide, leading them to a jeep. Their luggages were already loaded by island workers. The ride short and silent, either of spoke to each other, Hinata stared out the window, at the sun that hang low on the horizon. They were pleasantly surprised when they arrived to a long strip that contained a few cabins.
He stopped the car and he helped unload their luggage, he explained their cabin was number 3. He simply handed over the keys and with a happy smile. Wishing them a happy holiday, he left, driving off into the sunset. Hinata envied him. She wished she could drive away into sunset, away her husband, away from this life.
"Hinata, Help me with the luggage."
She sighed and helped him lugged luggage to the cabin number 3. She gasped when she saw how small the interior was and the fact there was only one bedroom. There was no way they could avoid each other in this tiny space. Sasuke wrinkled his nose unhappily and sat down on the couch.
"So who get the bedroom?" asked Hinata, walking around the small space. There was one bathroom with a tub, a kitchen, and one bedroom with one queen sized bed. The living room contained one couch and a small television set. It was nothing compare to their luxurious, spacious, two floored mansion they had into the city. She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water.
"We need to talk Hinata."
She blinked, this was new.
"Me too…I think I deserve the bedroom because you are the one who was caught cheating."
"Hinata…" said Sasuke aggregated, he was standing now.
She glared at him, her hand tightening on the glass, unable to contain all her emotions. She exploded.
"I put up everything you do and all you had to do was not get caught…"
Her words echoed in the little living room, she took a deep breathe and turn to walk away.
"Don't tell me that you never cheated on me," he grabbed her arm, he was seething. His eyes were flashing. His grip was going to cause a bruise. She didn't need the media accusing him of domestic abuse as well.
"At least, I didn't get caught." She spat out, pulling her arm away from his forceful grip. She went to the bedroom and slammed shut the door. She crumbled on the floor and buried her face in her hands. She could hear a loud shout of angry from other side.
I will not cry, I will not cry…
Thankfully, her cell phone rang that moment. She fumbled for her bag and managed to pick it up on the third ring. It was her sister.
"Hinata, are you okay? You sound upset…"
"I'm fine..." Hinata said, pushing her hair from her face, biting her lip.
"You sound tired, it must have been a long flight…"
"Oh, no...wait how did you know that I was-" asked Hinata, narrowing her eyes. Her little sister was scary, nothing could get pass her, not even the horrible state of her marriage. Her sister was only one who knew about the state of their marriage right?
Before, Hanabi could answer her question, Sasuke was persistently knocking on the door, "there is something you have see this is important!"
"Wait a minute." Hinata said to Hanabi.
She opened the door a little. Sasuke sat on the couch with his hands covering his mouth. She moved to take a closer look at the television screen. Her mouth dropped to the floor.
The headlines read, "UCHIHA COUPLE FLEEDS CITY, DUE PREGNANCY?!"
"This new was confirmed by Hyuuga Hanabi and Uchiha Itachi, earlier this morning… "
The footage changed to Hanabi and Itachi standing together on podium, speaking to the mass of reporters.
"The state of my brother's marriage is fine...whatever the anonymous caller said is strictly false. They are happily married." said Itachi.
"Yes, in fact, we are expecting a niece or nephew very soon… " said Hanabi, proudly holding up a dark photo.
Hinata was in shock, her sister and brother in law made up the worst lie to tell the whole world.
The commercials came on. They stared blankly at as a cute baby crawled across the screen advertising Pampers diapers by wiggling its butt. They said nothing as the reality of their situation dawned on them.
"I need a drink," Sasuke mumbled darkly at last, burying his face in his hands. She couldn't help but agree with him.
A/N: I love writing this story.

Things can only get better from here on right?
