Hinata's POV

"Congratulations with your engagement!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations Mrs. Hyuuga!"

It seemed like every one of the upper social class had heard about the engagement of Uchiha Sasuke and came to congratulate us.

It's been two weeks since the party and Sasuke-san and I are officially engaged even though the engagement party is still to come.

During the two weeks, I have moved my living quarter to the Uchiha estate, but I am still not used to my new home. I have met with Sasuke-san's family members several times. He's parents were very kind to me and welcomed me into the family, but Sasuke-san's brother, Itachi-san, was rather cold. He had spoken nothing when Sasuke-san first introduced me to the family, nor all those times when we passed by each other down the hall. I was afraid that Itachi-san hated me, but Sasuke-san told me not to worry about it because Itachi-san acts like that toward everyone.

When I told mother and Hanabi about my engagement, they were overwhelmed. Hanabi was jealous that I got to marry such a young and rich man, but she was still very happy for me. Mother was just was just too overwhelmed with the new to worry about anything else. I haven't got a chance to tell Neji-niisan the news yet, and, according to what Sasuke-san said, I won't have any time to tell him before the engagement party, which is a week away, I asked mother to tell Neji-niisan the news and ask him if he could come to the party.

Knock.

A gentle knock sounded on the door. It must one of the maids…

"Hinata-sama. Sasuke-sama wants to see you in his room," the maid said from the other side of the door.

"Ha-hai!" I was still not used to being called 'Hinata-sama', even though the maids always called me it when I was still a little girl.

"Sasuke-sama wants to see you in his room."

"Thank you. I'll go right away," knowing that Sasuke-san is suspecting me, I stood up and walked out of my room.

Mrs. Uchiha who insisted the previous room was too small to live in after Sasuke-san told her about the engagement had changed my room. My room now is a lot of bigger than the one I had before but it's quite far away from Sasuke-san's room, because Mrs. Uchiha persisted me to have my room near hers. Sasuke-san protested of course, but couldn't say anything after Mr. Uchiha agreed with Mrs. Uchiha.

Closing the door behind me, I trotted down the hall. I wonder what Sasuke-san want with me… It's unusual for him to ask me to come to his room… He usually comes to my room if he wants to talk about something… Maybe he wants to tell me-

Gacha

The door on the right opened suddenly distracting me from my thoughts. It was so sudden that I was nearly bumped into the person who came out.

"Go-gomen'nasai!" I panicked and bowed down deeply many times showing my apology.

'…' But there was no answer. I looked up slowly, wondering if I had actually crashed into the person without me realizing it and made him faint.

But it was nothing like that. The person standing in front of me was clearly conscious and there was not any sign of me actually crashed into him. But unfortunately, the person I crashed into was Itachi-san.

I didn't know what to say. If Itachi-san already hated me, the fact of me almost crashed into him will make him detest me even more.

But nothing could get better that me just staring blankly into him so, I decided to get out of this frozen situation by apologizing again.

"I-I am sorry! I didn't mean to get in your way on purpose. I was just hurrying because Sasuke-san called me. Please forgive me. I swear that I didn't do this on purpose. Please don't hate me even more…" I was going to continue asking for his forgiveness, though it sounded like I was claiming that I had done nothing wrong by any means, but before I could say anymore, Itachi-can walked right pass me without saying a word.

I was bit shocked of Itachi-san being so cold to me, but on the other hand, I was sad because now I know clearly that he hates me.

"… Hyuga Hinata-san, right?" This surprised me, but on the same time, it encouraged me a bit because Itachi-san did not sound angry.

"Ha-hai!" I looked up and answered as loud as I can. Itachi was standing a few meters in front of me, with his back faced to me.

"You don't have to be so panicked. If you think I hate me, then you must be mistaking. I do not hate you," at these words my face lighten up a lot.

"Arigato gozaimasu. Ever time I meet, you have always been cold to me, so I was afraid that you disliked me."

"… It's my attitude toward everyone. … I think you better go. Sasuke is waiting for you. You better hurry." I was surprised that he knew that Sasuke-san wanted to see, but I decide not to ask him how did he know.

I bowed down once again toward him even though his back was facing me and trotted once more down the hall toward Sasuke-san's room.

... Please take care of Sasuke...

Soon, I arrived in front of Sasuke-san's room. Knocking three times before entering, I turned the doorknob and walked in.
