Chapter 12: Bittersweet

Uchiha Sasuke wandered about Konoha, going at a snail-like pace on the dirt pavement. Hands in his pockets, he solely tried to avoid the one place he knew his beautiful blue haired maiden would be; the ice cream parlor. The place disgusted him so, he hated sweets. He could feel his brother's presence nearby and could tell he was keeping watch of him to make sure he isn't causing any unnecessary ruckus.

As Sasuke walked aimlessly, he ended being in the one place he was trying to evade. He instantly felt her chakra signature. It was pure as white, innocent as a newborn child, and as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. He felt his face scrunch. He wasn't allowed to have her. Because she's his brother's property. She had chosen Itachi over him. Sasuke felt rejected already. He stared inside the ice cream parlor and watched the Hyuugas eat away at their frozen treats.

"You know if you want her so much, just tell me. I will give you room to get a chance with her." Itachi's voice was low. He stood behind his younger brother, eyeing his former caretaker.

"She is yours, brother." Sasuke averted his eyes from Hinata and focused them on a piece of dust on the ground.

"I am your brother, it is my job to keep you healthy and happy as much as possible… Even if it means hurting myself." Itachi closed his tired eyes. Sasuke knew he was referring to the massacre of their clan.

"She will not want me." He reasoned.

"You do not know that. She is quite fond of you. She just does not like being put in uncomfortable situations."

Sasuke's bros pulled together. All the times he made her uncomfortable ran through his head, along with the times he was being rude to her. It made him sick to his stomach to think that he made such an angel upset.

Itachi continued. "We shall let her decide." Itachi then walked into the parlor to greet the Hyuugas once again. Sasuke reluctantly followed behind his older brother, his words ringing in his ears.

But I already know, niisan… She will choose you. He thought to himself as he stared at the Uchiha fan on Itachi's back.

Neji's impeccable hearing did not fail him. It slightly annoyed him how the Uchihas were fighting over his beloved cousin. Why them of all people?

Hiashi-sama will not be happy about this… He knew of his uncle's plan to marry himself and Hinata in the future. Neji isn't against the idea, he loves his cousin more than anyone. To him, it is Hinata first, the village second, and the clan third. It has been this way for a long time, since he learned the truth. It was just one more excuse to never let her out of his sight again. Granted, he doesn't think of her that way… yet. He hoped to have been a good husband and partner to her in the future. But now these Uchiha bakas are jeopardizing it. He took a liking to Itachi and felt he was a much better choice than the younger one. Itachi was a lot like himself and thought that he had skills high enough to protect his little Hinata. Sasuke, on the other hand, has skills that can match his own brother. The only problem is that he is rude, arrogant, self-absorbed, spoiled, stubborn, annoying, vulgar, impolite, ignorant, intrusive, hot-tempered, and so on. Neji mentally sighed as he watched the two walk into the parlor. Hanabi was the first to notice them.

"Sasuke-san! Itachi-san! Join us!" Hanabi had attacked her first ice cream cone and was demanding another one already. Hinata made eye contact with Itachi and a slight blush tinted under her eyes.

The three sat on stools and were ushering the other two to come and join them. Hanabi jumped out of her seat and stood behind the glass. Her hands were plastered against the glass and gazed at the array of ice cream before her. She had pulled Itachi and Sasuke in the process and both had onyx eyes on the little one.

"So… How does this work?" He eyed the ice cream flavored then the cluster of toppings on the side. His eyes widened at how the overly sweet toppings were all organized in a fashion. There were so many toot-aching options to choose from. His eyes landed on the name of the establishment. "Cold….stone."

"These ice creams consists of stones?" Itachi confusedly look at the little Hyuuga. Hinata couldn't help but giggle behind her ice cream cone. Neji raised a brow and smirked at how awkward they were being. Sasuke was also dumbfounded, he had never heard of this place before. They always went to Baskin Robbins when they were younger, and he thought the place before was to let robins bathe in water or something. Hanabi almost cried and held her monstrous laugh in.

"Oh my… No, Itachi-san! You choose an ice cream flavor then they put it on this stone table which is kept at a low temperature so the ice cream will not melt as it sits there. Then you choose what toppings you like and they will mix it together on this cold stone and wala!"

Both the Uchiha brothers nodded their head in approval. What an interesting concept. Itachi had thought it has been a while since he treated himself to something and decided to get one of these 'cold stones'.

"Sasuke, would you like one?" He turned his gazed to the shorter boy. Sasuke then crossed his arms and pouted like a child.

"There is nothing I like here. I do not enjoy sweets."

Hinata then stepped in. She got up from the tall stool and walked towards Sasuke, ice cream cone in hand. She eyed the flavors and the toppings, deciding what is best for Sasuke.

"Here, Sasuke-kun. I shall decide for you. Not everything here is sweet, you just need to find the perfect combination to your liking." Sasuke took a gander at her while she continued to lick her ice cream cone. Why is she being so nice to him? Wasn't he rude to her? Why would she still be considerate of him? Hinata looked over at Sasuke who continued to stare at her. Hinata's face began to turn pink when she realized how concentrated he was on her. She then turned her attention back to the ice cream and began contemplating on what to order for him. She tried to ignore the feel of Sasuke's eyes burning on her.

Neji and Itachi watched this exchange and both felt a tinge of jealousy course through their veins. Of course, both wanted Hinata to be happy in the end but they want nothing more than to have Hinata happy with themselves.

How selfish of me. They both thought to themselves. Itachi turned towards the younger Hyuuga already frantically ordering for herself. He then made his decision and stared straight into the ice cream vendors soul. The man shivered in fear as he watched the infamous Uchihas order ice cream.

"I would like to have vanilla with pretzels and salted caramel, please." His even tone sounded menacing to the vendor.

"O-of course, sir. What size would you like?" He gestured to the three different cup sizes in front of him. Not wanting to offend the Uchiha, the vendor continued nervously. "If y-you didn't want it in a cup, you can always put it in a waffle bowl, waffle cone o-or-"

Itachi grimaced at the name of the sizes. "I would like… 'Gotta love it' in a bowl, if you may."

The vendor got to work immediately, trying to finish it as fast as possible. He sweatdropped nervously as he thought of what would happen if he didn't like the ice cream he chose. He kneaded the ice cream perfectly and dumped it into the cup and carefully handed it to Itachi.

"Thank you." Itachi grabbed the bowl and the spoon from the man and waited for Hinata to order for Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, do you trust me?" She looked over to the raven-haired boy.

"Hn."

Hinata took that as a yes and nervously ordered for him. She felt slightly hesitant. What if he doesn't like it? Then it would be her fault and he will hate her even more.

"I would like coffee ice cream along with some toffee bits and almonds, please." Hinata gave a warm smile to the ice cream maker to calm his nerves from the previous customer. "In a bowl, too. Same size."

The man then began working on the order, scraping the ice cream from the container and adding the correct ingredients to it. He began to mix it thoroughly and when it was well blended, a bright idea crossed his mind.

"Ma'am, would you like to see a trick?" He flashed a bright smile at the lady before him. Everyone is just a moth to Hinata's light today. Itachi, Neji, and Sasuke saw this and immediately did not like this man. Hinata nodded in excitement at the vendor while she licked her ice cream. He handed her the cup that was supposed to hold Sasuke's ice cream. "Please hold on to this and hold it tight. Keep it still in one place, don't move."

The man then did a series of move, flipping the ball of ice cream in the air and catching it behind him, throwing it back up, twirling, catching it again between the spoons he had, tossing it up again, doing a backflip, then catching once more before throwing it perfectly straight up in the air and have it land in the cup Hinata was holding. Her eyes lit up as she watched excitedly like a child the awesome performance.

"That was wonderful!" She exclaimed. Sasuke rolled his eyes, slightly jealous. Itachi watched the simple movements and immediately copied them for future reference.

One trick pony. Neji sarcastically thought to himself.

Hinata handed to cup and a spoon to Sasuke and gave the man a tip in their tip jar which resulted him in singing.

"We just got a tip! Heigh-Ho, heigh-ho, we thank you for your dough. We come to work and play all day, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho." He sang sheepishly towards the moon eyed girl. She was so amused by the man and decided to get his name. "My name is Fujioka Haruhi."

Haruhi smiled gently to Hinata and she swore she saw femininity within him. Just then a tall blonde man emerged from the back followed by five other men dressed in uniforms.

"Haruhi! Look how well you are doing with our divine female guest." The blonde man winked at Hinata which caused her pink cheeks glow even brighter. All five men walked around the counter as Itachi tried to pay for the ice creams. The blonde man approached her and held her hand in his and kissed it. "I am Suoh Tamaki."

Hinata blushed madly as she tried to cool herself down with the mint ice cream with fudge and brownies in her shaking hand.

Another man behind Tamaki that resembled Itachi in a small way introduced himself as Ootori Kyoya. Two more behind him popped up and they were identical twins. Hinata or the others couldn't tell the difference!

"We are Hikaru and Kaoru." The two put their arms over Hinata. The bolder one took a lick off of Hinata's ice cream. Hinata was turning extremely red as the blood rushed into her face. Her head was beginning to feel light headed and she could feel her eyes rolling back in her head. Neji stood up, ice cream finished, and almost attacked the twins with raging fury. How dare they touch Hinata-sama in a such inappropriate way. Sasuke could feel his Sharingan activate on their own while Itachi tried his hardest to distract himself with paying the bill. He just knew he will kill someone tonight if he didn't keep his cool. Just then a little blonde child and an very tall man emerged. The child greeted her with a hug and caused Hinata to snap back into reality. He was the most adorable little guy she has ever seen!

"My name is Honey-kun! And this is Mori-kun!" He happily hugged Hinata on the waist and she gave a squeeze back. She squealed in excitement at how cute he was!

Hearts replaced her eyes as she carefully maneuvered the ice cream to prevent it from catching in the blonde boy's hair while also effectively giving him the hug of his life.

"I am Hinata, hello!"

Hanabi, Neji, Sasuke, and Itachi watched the boys swoon over their Hinata. All but the one named Haruhi which spoke up to Itachi.

"Gomen, demo they are always like this when they see a pretty girl." He smiled sheepishly. Upon closer inspection, Itachi saw that this man was in fact a girl.

"It is alright. You may keep the change, but please don't sing for me." Itachi leveled his head and went to go save Hinata from all the attention she was getting. Sasuke received his ice cream and went to go sit back on the stool. It was an incredibly weird day today. And it was getting annoying.

"Let's sit down not, Hinata." Itachi tapped her on the shoulder. Hinata then looked over at him then the boy in her arms and slowly untangle herself from him.

"Gomen, Honey-kun, but I am going to join my friends now." She smiled at the very nice and overwhelming men before her before sitting down. The men then filed back behind the counter and into the back room. Haruhi sighed in relief and gave an apologetic look at the whole group.

After the commotion the five began to chow down on their ice creams. Sasuke surprisingly liked his. It wasn't his favorite but it was enjoyable enough. He thought of how considerate and nice Hinata was to him and all he did was be mean to her. He snuck a peek at her around Itachi and found himself liking her even more. The only obstacle in his way is blocking him from her; his brother. Itachi saw the way his brother longed for his hime and sighed inwardly. He got up from his seat to get some napkins.

You better take the chance, brother. Itachi slowly got the napkins from the counter and saw that Sasuke had moved into Itachi's previous seat, now talking to Hinata. Itachi was able to quietly sit in Sasuke's seat unnoticed.

"Thanks for choosing for me, Hinata-chan. I hate sweets." Sasuke impassively said to her. Hinata's big eyes looked into Sasuke's as she accepted his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Sasuke-kun." Her soft smile emerged once again. This smile was for him.

"Hinata… Will you train with me?" Sasuke invited her out of the blue. All of the shinobi were now looking at him. Neji always trained Hinata and was about to go against the idea while Hanabi felt slightly jealous that her sister was going to train with an Uchiha.

"Of course, Sasuke-kun." She accepted. "What about Itachi?"

"Forget about Itachi, what about me?!" Hanabi cried out. "I want someone other than Neji-niisan to train me!"

Using this opportunity to give Sasuke time with Hinata, he closed his eyes tiredly and responded to the little Hyuuga. "I shall be of assistance."

"Really? You really want to train me Itachi-san?"

Neji felt incredibly ignored and was slightly insulted that the two were going to be trained with the Uchiha brothers. Might as well train with his teammates tomorrow then.

"Yes, Hanabi-san. Meet me at training grounds number 3 tomorrow."

Hinata finished munching on the cone and dabbed the sides of her mouth with a napkin. "Where shall I meet you, Sasuke-kun?"

"Training grounds number 7."

Hinata woke up earlier than usual and jumped out of bed, her river-like hair following her. Sasuke was going to train her today! She brushed out the knots from her hair, put on her ninja clothes, and practically flew down the stairs. She saw Hanabi had entered the kitchen to catch some breakfast.

"Hanabi-chan, good morning." She saw her plate full of bacon and eggs and stacked high with pancakes on the side. HInata giggled at how amusingly huge her sister's appetite was as she prepared some oatmeal with brown sugar for herself.

"Good morning, neechan, are you getting ready to train with Sasuke-san?" She said in between bites of bacon.

Hinata frowned at her poor table manners. "Yes, Hanabi-chan. Itachi will be displeased if you are late so you better eat faster… and cleaner."

Hanabi rolled her eyes as she stuffed the remaining food in her face and dashed out the door with a casual 'see ya'. Hinata smiled as she properly ate her oatmeal in peace. She was slightly excited to train with Sasuke. She knows his fighting style is definitely different from Itachi's and is eager to learn something new today. Hinata gulped the rest of her water, grabbed her head band, and fast walked out of the compound. Neji watched her as she fluidly left their home. He shook his head with a small and content smile as he readied himself to train with Lee and Tenten.
