Itachi's POV:
I had already arrived at the Hokage's office to turn in my report of the mission, which was capturing a Missing Nin under the suspicion of working with Orochimaru.
"He's been turned in, and currently under questioning." I stated.
"You have done very well, now…" The Hokage turned around and looked me straight in the eye; her light brown eyes analyzed me and took out a bottle of sake before she spoke. "… I have recently found out that Hinata will be turning 13 next week, and as you know, I also do not approve of the family matters your Clan and the Hyuuga clan had organized in this marriage…" she said drinking from the bottle, "… Hinata Hyuuga is one of my best students, very delicate and such a sweetheart, I leave her in your care… keep her safe." she said.
"Yes ma'am." I said getting up from my kneeling position.
"Now go on a date with her or something and leave me alone would you…" she said before gulping down her sake and throwing it back. "Why can't I just rest!" she wined.
I exited the room and headed to the Hyuuga Compound, I already promised Hinata to accompany her to a picnic under the Cherry Blossom Trees and Maple trees.
We walked under the shade of the trees, the rays of the sun made warm spots of light on the grey concrete. I felt a light breeze pick up from the west of us, and then I heard the birds sing and the crickets… chirp? It had been a while since our last Date, I was fully aware of my feeling towards Hinata, I am rather looking forward to our wedding night, and I just hope Hinata feels the same way. And even though Sasuke is forbidden to see Hinata I always see them together it makes me very jealous to see her constantly smiling around him.
"Itachi-kun?"
"Yes, Hinata." I said looking at her, she was very short; she barely reached my chest, so I always had to look down or get slightly on my knees when I speak to her.
"It's about Sasuke-san…"
"What about him?"
"I'm worried about him, he seems to always be depresses, I think it's because of… your always getting more love than him." she said shyly.
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
I rested the blue striped mantel on the ground, Hinata placed the picnic basket on the middle of the mantel and we both sat on opposite ends. She slowly took out the food and laid it out, she first took out the Curry and rice, then the Mame Daifuku, Manju with the different Kanji's on it, rice cake, dango, and a very large bowl of Anmitsu.
I guess she still likes sweets…
She took out our utensils, placed it down next to her plate, clapped her hands together and closed her eyes, I did the same.
"Thank You." we said in unison.
She quickly picked up her utensils and grabbed a Mame Daifuku and stuffed it in her mouth, I thought it was cute, very child like but sometime I feel like a pedophile just by thinking that.
I reached for a dango, I grabbed a Hanami Dango it had pink, white, and green dango, I founded it funny how I was eating a Hanami Dango and we are sitting under Cherry Blossom Trees (Hanami is also a cherry blossom viewing festival). Hinata's cooking was very good, her food was better than the one's at the Dango Shop and the Amaguriama Shop, maybe even better than my mother's cooking.
"Hinata… I know your birthday is next week, and I know it's going to be hard…" I said.
"I know, but as long as I'm with you…" she said laying down her plate and facing me "… I will be happy!" she said giving me her warm smile. I could instantly feel the heat reach my face. I grabbed a Manju with a kanji of love (Ai) on it and looked at it for a while.
"I see…"
"Itachi-kun?"
"Yes."
"I had another vision." I raised my head and look at her, her head was down and she had her hands in a fist sitting on her lap. Hinata's Byakugan had grown tremendously strong that she's able to see far from the chakra system and into the future. Lately she's been having vision, it frightens her but she always says she can handle it so I trust her courage.
"What was it about this time?" I asked placing the Manju back on the plate and sat still waiting for her answer.
"It's about the exams… I had a vision of everyone, including me…" she closed her eyes and continued "… I lost to Neji-nii-san, and I… blacked out." she said.
I felt my heart wrench, I feel bad for her, having to see her comrades and herself future results, not only am I able to help her get through this emotionally but win against Neji.
"That's not it…" I stiffened. "… Sasuke is also in trouble, I only saw parts of his fight, but he seemed different more evil, wicked it scared me to see him like that." she said.
"But I guess there's nothing I can do about it." she said slightly smiling. Hinata doesn't like to mess with what her visions show her, she'd rather let it happen, but she'd probably step in if it was the life of her friends that were at stake.
After an hour of eating the food, we packed up and left. I dropped her off her place and walked home.
I hope she can get over this…
I walked down the streets of Konoha, I looked up to the night sky and the bright shining moon. "Dango… Daikazoku… Sukoshi Yumemigachi Na Tsukimi Dango…" I sang.
I guess I'm that Dango… And I wouldn't mind dreaming of having a Dango Family with You…Dango Hime…
