Hikaru's POV

Day passed quickly. Before long, the dusk had arrived with the sun beaming its last golden rays over the horizon. It won't be long before Sasuke-sama or one of the maids knocks on my door and tells me to go down to attend the party. And I was right. After a few minutes, someone knocked the door gently.

I signed. Even though I hated attending the noisy parties from my early ages, there weren't any other choices here. There is if I wanted to stay here any longer.

I walked to the door and opened it with two hands. The tall figure of Sasuke-sama was revealed. He was wearing a suit of black tuxedo along with a black tie and a pair of black leather shoes.

"I see that you have made your choice," he nodded to himself after seeing me wearing the light lavender ball dress he left me. The dress had a gentle touch upon my body since it was made of fine silk. The skirt was long and layered so even though the material was thin, it still protected my legs from the cold.

The edge of Sasuke-sama's lip curved up a bit, and for a second, I thought I saw a shade of pale pink on his cheek. I focus my eyes again and looked, but it was not there anymore. Was it just my imagination?

"It looks good on you," he complimented. My face immediately turned to red. Why am I feeling this way? I have never acted this way when other boys complimented me, so why am I acting this way now?

"Tha-thank you…" I thanked him timidly.

"Come on, time to go," he grabbed my wrist gently and pulled me to go with him. It gave the idea of a mother dragging a child away from the toy store somehow.

"Make yourself occupied while I greet the others," and with that, he left me. Occupy myself… It's not easy as it sounds… That's what I hate about these parties the most… There is absolutely nothing to do!

It would be awkward if I were to stand where I was so I move into the ballroom. Besides, I could have gotten into people's way, because where I was just standing in front of the entrance.

The hall was filled with various kinds of people. From the sports to the technologies, from actors to politicians, many famous people were here. From the younglings who can barely walk to the olds who has to use armchairs in order to move. I recognized some of them from the newspapers but most of them were complete strangers to me. Most of them are probably family members who came along…

I looked around to see if any of the foods interested me.

"Miss? Would you be interested in… Oh, hello Hyuuga-san," I turned around to the familiar voice and saw the kind face of Kabuto-san. "How are you enjoying the party?"

"I-It's very nice," I lied.

"That is very nice to hear. By the way, would you like some strawberry cheese cakes?" He stretched out a hand holding a plate full of cheesecakes.

"Thank you," I bowed and took one.

"Well, have fun then," Kabuto-san nodded slightly and headed off.

I watched as he disappeared into the crowds, and started to make small holes on the cake with the fork. I was already regretting the fact that I took the cake. To tell the truth, I wasn't even feeling like eating anything.

After I had enough of pocking, I threw the cake into the garbage. It's a waste, but it's not like I can place the cake back onto the plate or something.

I wondered around to see if any of the foods would interest me again, but all I could find was some lemonade. I signed and filled a cup for myself.

While sipping the lemonade, I killed time by looking around to examine people. Isn't that Nara Shikamaru who just won a Nobel Prize? And is that…

"How are things doing?" A tap on my shoulder interrupted my thought.

"It's very nice. I am enjoying myself…"

"You are? You looked quite bored to me," Sasuke-sama said carelessly while taking sips from his own glass.

"No-not at all! I am enjoying myself very much!" I protested even though what he said was completely what I really felt like.

"Hm. That's fine then," he took another sip from his glass.

"Um… Sasuke-sama? What is that you are drinking?" I pointed to his glass.

"This?" He held the cup up and swayed it a bit. "Don't worry, it's not wine. This is only grape juice. It's against the law for me to drink wines." I nodded. "Well then, enjoy yourself," Sasuke-sama wondered off with the glass still in his hand.

I watched him took off again and drank the lasts of lemonades. I decided another cup of lemonade would kill some more time, so I putted the empty glass on a plate and went off to get myself another cup.

"…Look, there she is…"

"You mean the black haired girl with pale skins and lavender dress? That's her?" What?

I looked around for the source of the voice. Quickly, I spotted two girls, one with pink hair and one with blond hair, looking at my way and whispering something between them.

" Yeah."

"No way! Do you really mean that's the girl who is seducing Sasuke-kun?" The blond haired girl asked while covering her mouth with one hand to keep her voice down. I blinked. The two didn't seem to know that I was looking at them.

"Yeah," the other girl answered back.

"How disgusting!" The blond haired girl made a face. "She's not even pretty! What's her thinking! What's her name?"

"Hyuuga Hinata." How does she know my name?

"You mean, she's a Hyuuga!" The blond haired girl said out aloud and gain a few glare from the nearby people, but she ignored them.

"Of course. Haven't you noticed her eyes yet? Anyways, when I went to get a butter roll, she was like winking at Sasuke-kun and she even tried to kiss him!" What? I never did that and never will! "I mean, I just don't get why Sasuke-kun even bothers talking to her!"

"I know! She's so ugly!"

"Yeah! A loser like her should spend the rest of her life with rest of her family begging for scraps on the street!" And both girls laughed.

I couldn't take it anymore. They could make fun of me all they want, but taking my family into the matter was whole another business. The tears I tried to fight back came running down my cheeks. I covered my face with my hands and headed for outside. I was subbing quite hard but I tried to keep it as quite as possible.

I leaned against the wall and rubbed my eyes with the sleeve. I tried to calm myself down, but somehow, I couldn't. Why do they have to be so mean to me? I never done anything harmful to them, so why do they have to do this to me?

"You're okay?" A shadow suddenly towered over me. "What's wrong?"

"No-nothing," I tried to stop myself from subbing. "May I go now? I have attended the party as you said," I tried not to look at his face.

"Sure. But first, tell me what's wrong with you."

"Why do you care? It's none of your business," I said bitterly.

"Of course I care."

"Why?"

"Because… I-I liked you ever since the first time I saw you."

"Sasuke-sama, this is no time for jokes," I turned to him to show him my determination.

But my thoughts of suspicion quickly disappeared and did something totally surprising and proved he was serious.

He slid an arm behind me and pulled me close to him. Then, he pressed his lips gently on mine. He kissed me. My mind began to spin faster than it had been this morning. I wanted to push him away but my body didn't act to my command. It was acting like I was actually enjoying the kiss.

He broke the kiss after what it seemed like a million year and looked into my eyes.

"Why?" I whispered. There was countless number of questions in my head, but 'Why?' was all I could get out of my mouth.

"Why? Because like I said, I liked you ever since the first time I saw you. Do you now believe me?" The he smiled, for the first time ever since I stepped in the Uchiha Estate. It was like none other I saw before; it was so kind and caring but at the same time, still showed who he truly was, a cool, calm person.

"I nodded slowly and turned my head away. I looked down at my shoes and finally, realized I was blushing quite hard.

Silent stayed between us for a minute or two before Sasuke-san broke it.

"Wil-Will you be my… girlfriend?" He asked rather timidly.

"I-I-I…" I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what I felt toward him, but somehow at the same time, I know that I loved him. My instincts told me answering 'Yes' was the right choice here.

"May I have your hand for a dance?" He asked before I could answer him. I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that waltz music was being played inside the hall. I nodded slowly and took the stretched out hand of Sasuke-sama. He took it and leaded us into the hall.

We danced in circles slowly the whole time, thankfully, so I was able to make my decision.

"Sasuke-sama…" It barely came out as a whisper but Sasuke-sama still heard me.

"What is it? Have you made up your choice?"

I nodded.

Slowly, I leaned my head against his chest and closed my eyes. My face felt hot and I guessed that it was at least in a deep shade of pink now.

Sasuke-sama seemed to be very happy with the answer. He laid his head on top of mine and whispered, "There's no need to call me Sasuke-sama anymore," and kissed my forehead.

I am so happy… Never thought I would be end up like this… Maybe it was my destiny to go through all the hardness and bitterness and gain the peace that's after it… Thank you God for giving me such a wonderful life… I am very graceful of it.

A/N: I know. Lame ending. If you people still want me to continue this story even after this ending, then tell me in your review. If I got more reviews than I have expected telling me to do so, then I will continue. Thank you very much for reading the whole story and maybe this is the last of this story. Please review.

Sorry to a certain SasuHina fan that I made up this decision on my own.
