At the end of that day, Hinata was still told about the marriage, so I could do nothing but feel sympathy for her, marring someone she did not love must have been hard on her.

Itachi is a good brother, but he can be heartless at times, however when he's around Hinata he seems more alive, more companionate, more human. It makes me mad that Itachi can be around her but I can't! I'm not jealous or anything, but it's unfair that he can be around my friend; sure she's his to-be-wife, but… I'm so lonely without them. I know It's been years since I meet her but, I feel like we had some kind of connection, like on TV where the guy falls in love with the girl at first sight, ahem not like I watch any of those stuff.

"Sasuke, Honey, can you go to the store and get me some groceries?" Okasan (mother) asked.

"Why do I have to? Can't Itachi do it!" I snarled, yes, I have turned into a rebellious child, I despite every human on earth, except Hinata, I have a hard time getting along with any of my classmates because they are so annoying, I especially hate my fan girls.

"You perfectly know Itachi can't do that! He's too busy with training and missions!" She braked back. Yeah, of course Itachi gets everything, but I get nothing, they weren't even there when I turned into a ninja, only Hinata congratulated me, I just came home and they all said nothing, not even a "good job" or "I'm so proud of you." I bet even Hinata got a better greeting.

I turned my back on her and gave out a dark aura to warn her to not mess with me, but of course that did not work it only made it worse!

"You wouldn't understand, Sasuke, being a ninja is a lot of work, you'll understand when you become one. But just do as I say!" She said very motherly-like heck does that word even exist!

"Tch, if you were to notice, I am already a ninja! I have been for 3 months now! You people of course don't care! So just leave me alone!" I yelled back, this time shoving Okasan out of my way and stormed out the house; Okasan was yelling my name and yelling some colorful profanity and out-of line threats.

I hastily walked around Konoha's streets trying to clear my mind from the early events that had taken place, until I noticed a blue-haired girl walking towards me.

"Sasuke-san, what brings you to this part of town?" She asked. Looking around my surroundings, I immediately became aware that I was all the way at the east part of Konoha, as well as where the Hyuuga compound is located.

"I was just looking around." I said in a matter-of-factly way

"Oh, you seemed lost, so I thought I might help you. But I guess you don't." she said and afterward giggled a little.

"What's so funny?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"I bet your only saying that you're looking around, but you're actually lost, it's very hard to imagine you, Konoha's number one rookie, lost or asking for directions."

"Whatever." I said.

"So what's wrong this time?" She asked. Hinata's always been the one to know when I'm feeling down, sometimes even teases me about it, although she's forbidding to see me, she gets out of her way just to see me.

"It's nothing." I stated.

"Are you sure it's nothing? I'm sure some things wrong…." she said. But I still told her everything, even the part where Okasan threatened me.

"Is that so, it's better than what my father did." she said sitting in front of me; I quickly asked her what he did. Apparently her father told her how worthless she was, how he thought they pitied her and just made her a ninja, once again I felt sympathy for her. Having to go through life like that, first she loses her mother who meant everything to her and having to deal with her hateful father.

"I'm sure Itachi doesn't ask for attention, maybe it's because he's-"

"Stronger?" I interrupted her "Better? Is that what you were going to say?" I said clenching my fist.

"No, I was going to say because he has more of a chance of dying on a mission, especially if he's on A-rank and S-rank missions. While we go on lower and less dangerous missions. I guess they think enjoying time with him is better now than later after he's dead." she said placing her soft small hands on top of mine, I slowly opened them, and then she clapped my hands together numerous times.

"Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, Daikazoku!" She said giggling; I quickly pulled my hands away. "That wasn't funny!" I said feeling the heat on my face.

"I had to cheer you up somehow." She said flashing me a soft smile. She did, with her wonderful beautiful smile and her sweet singing.

I laughed along with her, yes I laugh too!

"So, is your team entering the Exams?" she asked.

"What Exams?"

"The Chuunin Exams, has your sensei not told you about it?" she asked tilting her head sideways, which by the way looked really cute.

Darn, I forgot all about it!

"Yeah, I guess I forgot about it. Why?"

"I was just wondering, I'm thinking of not going, I might be deadweight to my teammates, I don't want to be a bother." She said.

"Then you should train…. Get stronger before the Chuunin Exams, you still has five months before then, use that time to train." I told her, during that time, my team has to complete five more missions before entering, since we have to have a minimum of eight missions in order to participate in the exams.

"I see, it's getting late, I should get going, sayonara Sasuke-san." She said and left.

I stayed there for a while and walked home, trying figure out a way to get inside without anyone noticing me. But when I got there Okasan was waiting for me.
