It was amusing how she tried to avoid him as much as she could. She even refused to be in the same room as him. One day she finally spoke startling Sasuke.

"I'm going to the market. Do you need anything?"

Sasuke tapped his chin thoughtfully then he smirked.

"Tomatoes." He stated

"Eh?" She asked surprised with his answer

"You heard what i said. Fresh."

She nodded once before walking out.

She liked coming to the market contrary to all the people who wanted to stay home and read or people who trained all day and the few men who fished. The small fishing village she had settled in was a warm and inviting place with many festivals. It invited Hinata who was bloody and ragged with nowhere to go after the destruction of the village. She greeted the the spice seller and told him she had enough spice to last her for the week. She walked into the bakery first carefully picking up the bread and laughed at the boy's jokes. Natsu was a really nice kid and an excellent friend to joke with. His friends Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Wendy ran the bakery. She explored the different cakes Erza-san decorated and smiled. She was really good. She waved at the lot and walked out. She then visited Ishida-kuns vegetable shop. They had fresh veggies and she specifically asked for tomatoes. Ishida raised an eyebrow because she usually just asked for a bundle of what was fresh. She walked out hurriedly hoping he wouldn't notice how fidgety she was.

She fumbled with her keys before walking into her apartment. Sasuke was laying on the couch and looked like he had been waiting for her. She washed the tomatoes without a word and placed them on the table. He walked over and bit into one immediately. The juice dripped from his mouth and slid into his shirt. The white silk shirt she bought him was stained and started sticking to his chest by the time he was on his second tomato. His chin dripped with pinkish red juice and his lips moved up and down while chewing slowly favoring the taste. The tomato was bright red in his pale hands as he brought it up to his lips once again. After he swallowed and the tomato traveled down his neck he smirked.

"It's not nice to stare." He inquired lifting an eyebrow.

Hinata blushed a pinkish hue tainting her face.

"Well it's not nice to eat by yourself without sharing." Hinata was quite proud of the comeback.

He lifted a tomato "do you want it then?"

Hinata looked away.

"No."

He shrugged and bit into it. "Why ask?"

Hinata chose to ignore the statement and reached for a paper towel to clean him up with or else she might stare. She hated messy eater thats why she was staring and nothing else. She walked over to him and started cleaning his shirt and tapping the juice off his chin. He froze for a second before carefully swallowing. Then he smirked and like the twisted person he was he felt like playing with her. He grabbed her wrist and wiped the juice.

"Her let me help..." He purred

Hinata whimpered eyes wide in terror. Sasuke smirked in victory he had yet again tantalized Hinata.

She struggled to get her wrist free. He used his strength to shove her back against the counter and purred into her ear. "Now now i'm just being nice and cooperate while you clean." Hinata gulped and started letting him drag her hand around his chest she let out a squeak when he pulled off his shirt to clean his well toned stomach where the juice was sticky. She found herself comparing her hands on his well toned chest and in his soft firm hands. His skin wasn't exactly tan but darker then hers. Their hands fit almost perfectly and that scared her. His chest muscles flexed and un flexed his shoulders relaxing and tensing with every movement. His chest moved up and down.

"Like what you see?" He asked cocking his head to the side and growling into her ear

Hinata pulled away and ran into her room slamming the door behind her. Sasuke sniffled a laugh. Man she was easy to mess with easy to bend to his will. That's what he need somebody he can manipulate just like that. He was a tainted person evil never truly left. Nothing could truly make him recover to the way he was when he was little innocent and lively. Nothing but love. Love? It was just useless now. Manipulating people brought him pleasure. Seeing them struggle put an addictive tingling sensation in his back. This addiction was just to good to throw away.

Hinata once again pondered why she did that in the first place. She just shouldn't have talked to him that day. She should have just gone to the market without asking him about what she should get. She wished the stupid hormones wouldn't make her heart beat so fast at the close contact. She didn't like him. Liking him was stupid, hurtful and dangerous. Liking him would be betraying Naruto, her friends, family, Neji, and Konoha. The ones she swore to protect where already all gone and if she in the slightest chance had any positive feelings for Sasuke those would all vanish along with him. But even as she told herself this she had an uncomfortable feeling inside her. It was stirring inside her very body. It was thick and she couldn't say pleasant. It defiantly wasn't the feeling she got when she looked at Naruto but it wasn't pure hate either. The first time she saw Sasuke in the jail cell she wanted to dunk him in water with lightning and slit his throat after burning him then skinning him in that order. But now she wasn't sure. Back then she would have done that, because he was an animal. A cold heartless killer. But now she wasn't so sure. He seemed so human and his way of talking was so intoxicating. His sense of entertainment was twisted. But Hinata always believed in second chances. For everyone. So was it a sin if she forgave him? Would her husband and everyone she knew curse her for it? She didn't know... She looked at the calendar and the date that was circled in a bright red pen. The date Konoha and all that was important to her was taken. She curled up as the wind blew through the windows. The night seemed to cold and far to lonely. She couldn't forgive him. She wouldn't forgive him. After all under that human like mask was an animal.

Hinata opened her eyes when a loud knocking was heard.

"HINATA! You promised to go dress shopping today for the festival tonight."

Hinata jumped up and ran to Sasuke in her tank top.

He was awake and looked like he just got out of the shower with his damp hair and he was buttoning his shirt. Hinata didn't have time to stare.

"Hide!" She hissed before locking his door and running to the front door. Sasuke blinked until he heard the strange voices. He smirked.

'So she ran in here. Like that..." He shrugged and kept dressing. He backed up to fix his hair but tripped over the sheets that he carelessly flung and hit his knee on the bedpost.

"SHIT!" He yelled and the startled voices stopped. The door was shook violently then stopped. Sasuke let out a breath it seemed Hinata's friends just walked away assuming they heard something imaginary. Of course that was not the case. Yukino reached into the far left drawer. She slid the key into the lock and swung the door open to reveal a shocked Sasuke with his shirt still unbuttoned. Her mouth fell into a giant O-shape and she just stood there as Sasuke slowly raised an eyebrow. Then Hinata's other friend rushed in. "Yukino what are you..." Her eyes bulged out. "HINATA HYUGA GET OVER HERE!" She screeched

Hinata ran to her friend now fully dressed and groaned. "Hinata!" Suddenly they squealed "We didn't know your boyfriend lived with you!" Sasuke couldn't help but let out a laugh the ridiculousness of the story was funny. And he looked at HINATA obviously mortified and decided he actually kinda liked the idea. He briskly walked over to her and waved his hand in her face "babe?" He asked and the girls squealed.

"Come with us to go shopping for the festival!" Sasuke looked at Hinata and raised his eyebrow as if saying 'you have no other excuse for why a man is in your house." Hinata wasn't dumb she knew she had to play along. She bit her lip in smothering anger and smiled glaring at him "Yea come with us Sasuke-kun" the girls fanned over how heroic the name sounded and how his toned chest showed perfectly with the blue button down shirt. Hinata blushed and walked out mumbling about her hair not being done.

The streets were busting with silk merchants selling all kinds of kimonos there where even make it yourself stands. The bakeries where lavishly decorated even the most famous one Fairy Tail had dozens of new cakes Erza and the others worked hard to make. Sasuke was pounded with things to carry for the woman. Hinata's friends, Yukino and Rukia, had dates to the festival but they kept glancing back at Sasuke. "Oh i bet you're going with Sasuke-kun!" They swooned Hinata looked back clearly not sure how to answer. "Yea. She is." He stated bluntly followed by the signature 'i win' smirk. Hinata gulped as they stopped at the hair ornament store. The girls spent a good half hour picking out stuff to match their outfits. Hinata didn't take too long. Just a simple purple, blue, and pink ornament was picked and purchased. When they finally got home Hinata had a kimono for the festival that was light turquoise blue with light baby pink and lavender flowers with stars and a purple obi while the others were a mess of pinks, greens, oranges, and all sorts of exotic shapes. Sasuke liked Hinatas taste simple yet elegant. He had a casual black yukata. The girls fussed for hours giggling and whispering about Kami knows what! He just slept until one of the girls came to let him know he had to dress or else they would be late. He got dressed, freshened up and ready in a blink and off they went. Rukia's date was a guy named Renji and Yukino was with a man named Sting. They were a mismatch of crazy colors and elaborate confusing shapes, Hinata looked so simple yet the purple brought out her eyes instantly. He hooked his arm around her waist and could instantly feel her tense. They were a few steps behind the others and sasuke whispered in a husky barely audible voice "Relax i got you." Hinata gulped clearly uncomfortable with the distance but Sasuke won she couldn't do anything. To Sasuke this was like a game. He just lifted a finger, changed his position, flexed his muscles and she would instantly respond.

When the eating and joking was over and the lanterns were lit everyone cramped into the streets and started dancing Sasuke was in the corner hiding in the shadows wanting to go unnoticed. He knew however that no matter how much he tried to make his presence unknown somebody would always know. Hinata would always feel him following her. Watching her, he could tell she was trying hard to ignore him and enjoy the night. But he would always be on the back of her mind. He liked that. He liked how he always occupied a part of her thoughts. Manipulating Hinata was like a drug to Sasuke. She danced around the lantern lit streets and Sasuke had to say she did look awfully pretty in the kimono. He never thought he would actually say that even in his head but it was true. When the people on the streets lessened and lessened and only a few people were left still laughing and waking from the sake Sasuke approached Hinata. "Had a nice time?" He asked gazing into her eyes. She tried to stare into his but looked down almost immediately. "Yes." She replied. "You should have danced." She whispered and Sasuke was barley able to catch it.

"What? Was my poor hinata-chan alone when all her friends were with their dates?" Hinata shook her head violently. " i- i was not!" She mumbled. She shook her head and started walking off. He grabbed her and spun her around smashing his thin lips onto her slightly parted ones. He glided his tongue in easily snaking his arm around her hips and holding her head, For some reason Hinata didn't respond. There wasn't a reaction but there wasn't a strong opposition either. When Sasuke finally broke away Hinata looked like she was going to cry. "Don't EVER! Do that again!" She hissed and walked towards the apartment Sasuke smirked happy with his score of the day, Sasuke:1 Hinata : 0 today as the same score as always. He was the GOD at manipulating people bending them to do his will and if they didn't bend they would snap. That was him using her to have his twisted entertainment. Not love.

Hinata frustratingly looked back at Sasuke and the permeant smirk stuck on his face. She had hated how his tongue felt so good and warm. "Stop it Hinata!" She yelled at herself quietly. Sasuke had caught up and cocked his head. "Talking to oneself is a weired habit." Hinata tried to out walk him but his long legs and graceful strides let him easily catch up. When they finally got home Hinata angrily jabbed a finger at him.

"You want to play this way?"

Sasuke put his hands up in a "i surrender" pose and asked "play what?"

"You! You-you! I know what you're trying to do! Well i'm not falling for it. I challange you." She crossed her hands in front of her chest. Sasuke was interested,for once. "What is this challenge?"

"I'll make you fall for me. Faster then i will fall for you. Whoever confesses first... Dies first." She stated. Sasuke Uchiha was at lost for words. Then slightly ever so slightly his tight lips bent upwards. Hinata cupped his face and kissed him roughly pulling his neck into her arms and hugging herself against his chest. Her tiny tongue slid over his bottom lip before recoiling as if mocking him. When she pulled away she smiled.

"One win one lost." She stated before walking away undoing her hair so it swayed all the way to her bedroom. Sasuke's eyes gleamed. This wasn't just a game. Life or death depended on who was willing to open their heart up faster and love more. Life was cruel to him. But at least he had a head start. He smirked he would get his revenge. Nobody won against a Uchiha especially Sasuke.

End! Sorry about the confusing parts... Reviews would help no flaming the couple though cause if you hate sasuhina then GTFO!

thanks
