Happenings
Chapter 3- Are you scared?
"Has he eaten yet Kakashi? He looks paler than usual and he's only been here three days," Kurenai asked. Kakashi shrugged. "You should eat Sasuke," Asuma said. Sasuke glared at his food.
"You know Tsunade only put you on probation because she's not sure if we could trust you yet. It's not so bad is it?" Kakashi asked. Sasuke scowled. "Do you want to talk to Hinata, Sasuke?" Asuma asked. Sasuke looked up. What was that feeling in his eyes? Eagerness or happiness?
"Asuma!" Kurenai whispered. "You know full well Tsunade doesn't want him near Hinata until we know if we can trust him. Even if Hiashi thinks he's fine." Kurenai scolded. Sasuke cast her a dark hate-filled glare. Kurenai shifted uncomfortably.
"How about we bring you home (Hyuuga mansion)? But remember not to go into Hinata's room. She doesn't know you're living in the Hyuuga household." Kakashi said. 'Haha, she doesn't even know you're living across from her room.' Kakashi thought, vaguely watching Sasuke get up and pack his new clothes.

Hanabi kept staring at Hinata while they were eating dinner, making Hinata feel uncomfortable. Hiashi seemed not to notice. "Hinata, have you been in the room across yours recently?" Hiashi asked suddenly. Hinata, taken aback, shook her head. "No, why Otou-san?" Hinata asked. "It's nothing," he replied airily. 'Maybe I shouldn't marry her to the Uchiha just so I could get rid of her. But then again, I didn't have to pay any price except for letting him live here and that's not a problem. So far. ' Hiashi thought.
Hinata noticed her father was deep in thought. She sometimes wondered what he was thinking about, but right now her mind was blank. 'Oh yeah, there was a shadow the room across from mine. What if someone lives there now? But why would Neji nii-san tell me not to go in there? Is he worried that I might pester the person? Then again it seemed like father wanted me to go into that room. I'm just so confused. And why does Hanabi-chan keep staring at me!' Hinata's mind was whirling.
"Hinata are you done eating?" Hiashi asked. Hinata almost jumped. She nodded and quickly excused herself. Picking up her plate she headed for the kitchen, feeling Hanabi's glare on her all the while.
Usually Hinata's father told her to just leave her dishes on the table for the maids to wash but Hinata preferred to wash them herself. 'Why was Hanabi-chan staring at me the entire dinner time?' Hinata dried her dishes and swept the kitchen floor.
"So you're going to get married to that Uchiha?" Hanabi asked from the kitchen doorway. Hinata jumped and nearly broke a dish. "Y-yes, Hanabi-chan?" Hinata asked timidly. "Tch. What are you? Stupid? You do know that all dad wants to do is to get rid of you?" Hanabi spat. Whether or not Hinata was surprised, shocked, or angry she surely didn't show it. Instead she smiled sadly. The last time Hanabi had ever seen Hinata smile like that was four months ago.
Hinata only smiled like that when she realized something horrible. Four months ago Hanabi had beaten Hinata in front of the entire Hyuuga clan. Her father had ignored Hinata and only praised Hanabi. At that time Hanabi had thought of Hinata as weak but after Hinata smiled that strange smile, Hanabi began to think differently.
Flashback
"Hanabi-san! You're so strong! To actually beat your own older sister, the heiress to the Hyuuga clan. Pfft how can your sister even be an heiress when her own little sister could beat her?! "Several Hyuuga girls yelled, praising her. Hanabi merely nodded as though agreeing. Hinata, however, was talking to Hiashi. Hanabi tilted her head, trying to listen to them. She couldn't hear anything. After a while Hinata hung her head and nodded. Hiashi turned around and walked up to Hanabi to praise her. In the corner of her eye, Hanabi saw Hinata smile that strange smile and without any other noise, went up the stairs.
End of Flashback
"I'm going for a walk Hanabi-chan…okay?" Hinata murmured. Hanabi nodded and left the room.

Walking around Konoha, Hinata tried to fix all her thoughts. They were all jumbled and it bothered her. 'So according to what Hanabi-chan said everything was real. Sasuke-kun really did yell at Sakura-chan because of me. I hope she's not angry. Where is Uchiha-kun? Does he talk now? B-but I still like Naruto-kun a little bit. But th-that's wrong, ne? B-but then again Uchiha-kun doesn't love me does he?' Hinata wandered around Konoha.
She glanced at her clothes. Big jacket, black shirt, normal pants. Nothing's changed. 'Should I wear the clothes Uchiha-kun bought me?' While in her thoughts Hinata accidentally bumped into someone. Looking up Hinata saw Naruto. "Gomen, didn't see you there," Naruto apologized. Hinata numbly nodded.
'Do I still like you Naruto?' Hinata smiled hesitantly. "Wh-what are you doing out s-so late Naruto-kun?" she managed to ask. "Oh. Um… I dunno know. What about you?" he scratched his head. "I just w-wanted to go for a w-walk. I'm going h-home now." Hinata murmured. "Oh! Well then I'll walk you." Naruto grinned. Hinata couldn't help but blush.
"Soooo…uh…what did Sasuke and you talk about?" Naruto asked, looking at the ground. 'Oh...he just wants to talk about Uchiha-san…' Hinata twiddled her fingers. "J-just… Some things." She stared at her fingers as though they were interesting. "Oh." was all he answered.
'Is Hinata always timid or is it just me? WAIT A MINUTE!!…Didn't she use to blush when I talked to her? And look at the floor. And stutter. Oh crap! She didn't… like me, did she? But I always ignored her.' Naruto felt horrible. "N-naruto-kun are you okay?! You l-look…funny." Hinata looked rather worried. "I'm fine." He muttered when he came out from his big discovery.
"Th-that's good to hear. Anou…I'm h-home." Hinata said. "Huh? Oh. Well, bye then Hinata-chan." Naruto leaned forward and planted a kiss on Hinata's forehead. He did that as an apology. Hinata's face turned crimson and she muttered a bye before rushing into her house.

'Damn it. Why do I keep thinking of that Hyuuga girl? Why did I have to talk to her? I hate everyone here, don't I? Don't I?! Kami, my head hurts. I wonder how she is. Why do I think she likes me? Or cares for me for that matter. Am I really betrothed to her?' Sasuke quietly entered the Hyuuga gate, ignoring the sensei's byes.
Sasuke pulled off his shirt while he was going up the stairs to his room. Only he and Hinata had their bedrooms upstairs. Well, on that particular part of the house anyways. (I'm at school. And in the library. You're lucky I skip lunch. And the librarian calls me 'sweet angel' or I wouldn't be here. Lol)
Sasuke's room's window is facing the Hyuuga gate. Looking out the window he saw Hinata and Naruto. "What are they doing?" he disbelievingly muttered. When Sasuke saw Naruto plant a kiss on Hinata's forehead he felt anger boil within him. He punched the wall leaving a hole in it. Surprisingly no one heard him. "Fucking dobe." Sasuke threw his shirt at the wall. He quietly walked to his door. Opening it a crack he saw Hinata fumbling with the lock on her door. "Bitch" he hissed.
Hinata whirled around. The door behind her was shut. "W-was I daydreaming? I was s-sure I heard someone though," Hinata murmured. Walking into her room Hinata looked at her closet. Hinata opened her closet. Inside there was a lot of shopping bags scattered across the floor. Her regular clothes weren't hanging on the hangers. Heck they weren't there period. Different types of clothes were hung in their place. Hinata hesitantly searched through the clothes hanging in the place of her old clothes. She didn't find anything she could sleep in. She knelt down and picked up some bags from the floor. Looking through the bags Hinata found stuff that made her blush.
Sasuke had bought her lingerie. In only black and white. And they were made of silk. Hinata's blush deepened when she realized he had also bought her jewelry. Like the hairclip he made her wear a few days ago. Several necklaces, bracelets, rings, and other accessories were in the bags. In the last bag she picked up some night gowns fell. Hinata observed them. There was about 6 or so night gowns. All in silk. 'Does he like silk or something?' She couldn't help but let a blush creep onto her face.
Hinata noticed the designs were all different. All of them reached to her thighs though. Some were plain and some were fancy. The color all of them had, even if it was just a small centimeter, was white. To match her eyes. A black one had a dragon sewed onto it. The dragon was a creamy blue at her thighs, dark blue down her chest, and then light blue near her neck. The dragon swerved around her legs. The dragon's mouth seemed to open at a slit. The slit started at Hinata's mid-thigh and it ended at her knees. The small piece of her thigh you could see because of the slit was the dragon's tongue. The tail wrapped around her neck. It looked liked the best of them all. Another, however, was decorated with lilies. Indigo colored lilies. There was some jewelry to match it too.
Hinata chose a gown. An entirely white one. It was simple and plain. No decorations except for some white flowers, outlined with light-purple, on the sleeves and neck part. The neck made a U around her collarbone. It wasn't too high and not too low. She was comfortable with it.
Lying in bed Hinata daydreamed about Sasuke. When lightning suddenly hit and thunder roared, Hinata quickly turned around. A mistake. Something or someone was standing in front of her door, in the room. And her door was locked. Scared out of her wits Hinata looked up. When the lightning flashed she saw the face of Uchiha Sasuke.
