Happenings
Recap:
"Hahaha! I feel so sorry for them. 5 days cut off." A mysterious voice laughed quietly outside their door. "Shut up Naruto. This is so troublesome," another voice muttered, hitting the first person. "Okay okay Shikamaru," Naruto muttered rubbing the swollen lump on his head.
Chapter 13- I'm back
Hinata, still stunned, turned to face Sasuke. His face was blank. Cut of all emotion. "Sa-sasuke-kun…are you o-okay with F-father changing the wedding date?" Hinata asked staring at him and unconsciously twiddling her fingers. Sasuke's hand instantly shot out and grabbed her hands. "That's irritating," he muttered. "Oh…o-okay then. I'm s-sorry," Hinata murmured. Maybe he's angry about it. He probably doesn't really want to marry me in the first place. I should have known. "Hina, if the wedding is tomorrow then who did the entire preparations? And have you learned the wedding lines yet?" Sasuke asked suddenly. "Huh? Oh…um…Hanabi-chan…? Um…no," Hinata murmured. "I already bought your ring. It's kind of like your promise ring, but since Hanabi didn't let me see your wedding dress, I'm not letting you see your ring," Sasuke smirked. Meanie…but then again Hanabi-chan didn't let him see my dress. Hmm…I wonder what kind of ring it is. As long as it's not expensive then I'll like it. How come he couldn't use my promise ring as the wedding ring? No one knows about it. And it won't waste his money.
"Is it a private or public wedding?" Hinata murmured. Sasuke stared at her for a second. "Private. But our friends are allowed to come. I want to sleep," Sasuke walked over to the door. Hinata watched him open it. In fell Naruto and squatting near the door was Shikamaru. "Dobes," Sasuke muttered. "Remind me never to be with Naruto when spying on people ever again. Anyways Tsunade-sama told us to come to tell you guys you have a mission. But seeing as your wedding is tomorrow I don't know what to tell her." Shikamaru sighed.

"So…Haishi has changed the wedding date, has he? Rushing love is never good. You must always let young people love at their own rate. Doesn't he already know that?" Tsunade sighed. "And they were the only people who could do this mission too. I was counting on them. I probably have to wait until next week. How could I wait though! It's a very important mission!" Tsunade growled banging her fists on the table. "It's not that bad is it Hokage-sama? At least we're invited to the private wedding." Shizune grinned. She held up two wedding invitation cards. "Yeah, I suppose it's not that bad after all." Tsunade smiled.

"Oi! Sasuke-teme did you invite me to you're guys' wedding! I wanna be your best man!" Naruto smiled proudly at the thought of being someone's best man. Shikamaru sighed. Hinata silently washed the supper dishes. Sasuke cursed quietly. "And what would you do if I didn't invite you? And if you aren't my best man? What would happen if I chose Kiba or Shino or even Shikamaru?" Sasuke taunted. Shikamaru stared at Sasuke as though he were crazy. "He…he spoke…" Shikamaru said slightly surprised. Hinata turned around for a second and smiled. "Well of course he talks Shikamaru. Everyone does," Naruto said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"I'll kill you Naruto one day Naruto," Shikamaru muttered. "Sasuke isn't going to make you his best man! I know I'll be his best man. I just know it!" Naruto yelled, placing one foot on the table. "Dobe, get your foot off the table before I murder you," an evil glint flashed in Sasuke's eye. "Uh…okay!" Naruto grinned. Hinata came over with some biscuits and tea. "Thanks Hina-chan! These are great!" Naruto yelled, grinning happily as he ate a biscuit and drank some tea. Sasuke's eye twitched at the nickname Naruto had given Hinata. "Hina-chan?" Sasuke asked glaring daggers at Naruto. "Uh…y-yeah?" Naruto asked, ready to run away at any moment. "Why did you give her that nickname? Why not Hinata-chan? "Sasuke asked with an eerie calmness even though he was slightly pissed. "I-it's just a n-nickname S-sasuke-kun," Hinata whispered sweetly next to Sasuke's ear. She was trying to help Naruto avoid getting hit.
"Okay. Just don't ever let me hear you call her that ever again, okay Naruto?" Sasuke asked. "O-okay!" Naruto grabbed some biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth so he couldn't say another stupid phrase. Shikamaru sipped his tea and muttered a quiet," This is so troublesome." Hinata tilted her head at a cute angle wondering why Sasuke didn't like that nickname for her. "Sasuke-kun? How c-come you don't like N-naruto-kun's nickname for me?" she asked quietly. "How many other people have ever called you Hina?" Sasuke asked. Hinata thought for a second. "Just you I guess…" Hinata answered. "Exactly," Sasuke muttered. "I don't ge— oh!" Hinata blushed. Sasuke raised an eyebrow but ignored her. Naruto laughed and choked on his biscuits. Shikamaru sighed and shook his head. So Sasuke-kun…wants to be the only one allowed to call me Hina? Then that means he doesn't want Naruto-kun calling me Hina or Hina-chan…I kind of get it. Hinata smiled, a small blush still etched on her face.

"Okay Hinata nee-san! Let's see if the dress fits you. I was busy sending all the other dresses back to the shops they came from. Why keep those when I have the one I want?" Hanabi laughed. Shikamaru and Naruto just stared at her. Sasuke muttered something. "What was that Sasuke nii-san?" Hanabi snickered. "Stupid brat," he muttered. Hinata stood up and cleaned the table before leaving the room with Hanabi. "What dress did Hinata-chan pick?" Naruto asked Sasuke, leaning over the table. (Hey they didn't eavesdrop that long. ) "Actually Hanabi picked it out. Hinata had no say in it whatsoever." Sasuke answered. "Really! That's weird…so do you know what kind of dress it is?" Naruto asked eagerly. "Why do you care?" Sasuke asked sighing. "I just wanna know! Oh, you aren't answering because you don't know!" Naruto burst out laughing. Shikamaru waited for Sasuke's reaction. "It's a strapless, white silk dress. Happy now perverted dobe?" Sasuke growled. "Eh-heh, "Naruto blushed. "I'm not perverted!" he yelled suddenly. "Sure you aren't," Sasuke rubbed his temples. "I'm bored." Shikamaru announced. Naruto raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

"It fits you perfectly! It really does. I bet Sasuke nii-san would be drooling! Haha" Hanabi joked. Hinata shrugged and stared at the mirror. It really did fit her perfectly just as Hanabi had said. "Should I really wear this to the wedding? It looks awkward…" She muttered. "No it doesn't, you're just self-conscious," Hanabi said. Hinata sighed. 'It's not like I can win this battle. So why bother try.' Hanabi went over to a small box. "Let's find some jewelry." She grinned. "b-but I don't w-want any," Hinata murmured. "Whatever. This is a small jewelry box I found in your room. It's yours I guess," she muttered happily. "I don't own a jewelry box though, Hanabi," Hinata said, tilting her head to the side, creating a very adorable image. "You don't?" Hanabi asked, surprised. As the lid of the box fell off a small piece of paper fell onto the floor. "What's this?" Hanabi wondered. Hinata wondered over. "Is it a note?" Hinata asked. Hanabi read it aloud.
I bought this for you yesterday. I suppose your nosy little sister would find it before you. Anyways, I kind of thought it would match your dress. Actually I hope it would match. You're probably angry at me for buying expensive jewelry, but it really suits you. I hope you wear it to our wedding. Sincerely,
Uchiha Sasuke- your fiancé
P.s. Oh yeah, there's a necklace and a bracelet for Hanabi in there. Tell her not to bug me anymore.
Hanabi laughed gleefully. "Wow, isn't he romantic Hinata? Hinata?" Hanabi glanced at Hinata. "What's wrong?" Hanabi asked worriedly. She was looking out the window, as though in some trance. Hinata suddenly shook her head. "N-nothing's wrong," Hinata weakly smiled. "Okay then," Hanabi instantly dismissed the idea of Hinata having a problem. "These are so pretty! I've seen some of these jewelries before. They're very expensive. Especially the gems. I'm surprised he has good taste. Ohhhh, is this mines? It has a paper with my name on it! It's sooo cute!" Hanabi yelled joyfully. Hanabi thrust the box into Hinata's hands and grinned. "C'mon look!" she cried. Hinata stared at the contents in the box. They were sparkly and very cute. Very simple too.
Hinata couldn't help but smile. "It's cute." She said. "Cute?...noooo noooo it's adorable!" Hanabi stated firmly. Hinata smiled at her hyper little sister. "I'm going to try this on okay?" Hanabi rushed to the mirror and clipped the necklace and bracelet on. The jewelry looked beautiful on her. The necklace was cute. It was a pearl necklace. And the bracelet was a thin chain that had diamonds everywhere. "Wear one of them Hinata! Come on!" Hanabi picked out a small choker with a diamond hanging off. "It'll look cute!" Hanabi fastened it around Hinata's neck. "Kawaii!" Hanabi yelped. "Um…Hanabi-chan can I change now?" Hinata asked. "Huh? Oh sure." Hanabi poked around the box making Hinata giggle and shake her head.

Hinata pulled the pretty dress off gently. She sighed. "I guess I am pretty. Maybe I just don't want to admit it," she murmured to herself. Something in the corner of her eye flashed. She twirled around. "Who's there?" she asked with surprising ferociousness. "It's just me," a quiet, girly, melody-like voice answered. A dark shadow slipped in through the window. "I'm back. Do you remember me? Please don't say that you've forgotten me," she murmured. There stood Miko, a silent shadow, grinning slightly. "What do you want?" Hinata asked shaking slightly.
"What do I want?" Miko laughed psychotically. "What do I want…let's see…you," she smiled with a crazed look in her eyes. "What else would I want? I want to live again. I've been debating whether or not to take your life or that pink-haired girl's life. Her life sucks though. I want to have a perfect life. You have a lover. A wonderful wedding tomorrow! It's every girl's dream to have a wedding. Isn't it? You have a noble family, rich and charming are the men. And then you have friends, a little sister even! How I envy you! And you don't even deserve any of it! I however do! I have watched you enough to know how you act. I can fool anyone. I want your body." She advanced toward Hinata who shrunk back in fear.
"Hinata are you in there! Hurry up and come out!" Hanabi racked on the door. Miko glared at Hinata and left through the window. "I hate you," she murmured. Hanabi burst through the door. "Good, your finished. Okay well I have to go to bed. See you tomorrow. Remember, don't worry everything will be okay."

Sasuke yawned as Naruto and Shikamaru waved bye. Sasuke walked up the stairs to his and Hinata's room. Hanabi bounced out and gave him a cheerful smile. "Hi Sasuke nii, bye!" and darted down the stairs. 'Is it just me or was she wearing the jewelry I bought her?' he sighed and wandered into the room. Hinata was staring at her hands and sitting on the bed in a silk gown. "Are you okay?" he asked for no particular reason. The image had some reason brought another image of a sad, depressed girl to his mind. Hinata looked up. "I'm okay," she smiled. "Okay," he said slowly.
They laid in bed together both thinking of the next day. "Sasuke-kun…I s-saw M-miko-chan today…"Hinata murmured, thinking she really had to tell him. Sasuke stiffened. "It…was probably a part of your imagination," he murmured into her soft hair. "N-no! I d-don't think it was," Hinata protested. "Hina, she hasn't been here lately. It's a part of you imagination." he insisted. "O...okay then," Hinata murmured in defeat.
"I'm not anyone's imagination. I'm real and I will get your life." red eyes flared from the window and Miko disappeared. Hinata had heard those words, whereas Sasuke hadn't.
