8. Realize
Sasuke remembers the first time he realized Hinata was a woman.
"Seriously, what are we doing here?" Sasuke hissed at the blonde standing next to him.
"It's called being supportive, dumbass,"
"Ow," Naruto yelped and covered it with a cough. Sasuke had subtly elbowed Naruto in the ribs.
"She's not even my friend," Sasuke countered.
"Listen here," Naruto whispered, "Hinata was the one that brought your sorry ass back from the dead, well that was actually Saskura, but Hinata was the one that was stuck looking after you."
Sasuke was about to say something but noticed that the whole room had gone silent and were all looking at the huge double doors.
"Stop it," Sasuke snapped as he slapped Naruto's hand away from his tie. "You wanted to come here and be 'supportive' and that includes having to bear this," Sasuke said as he tugged at Naruto's tie.
Sasuke was about to make a break for it, Naruto's attention had been captured by Sakura who happened to be wearing an obscenely bright floor length gown with a plunging neckline that bordered on trashy, in Sasuke's opinion.
"We now present the Hyuuga heiress, Hyuuga Hinata," came a booming voice from the front of the room as the room slowly opened.
Sasuke's curiosity got the better of him as he turned his head towards the opening double doors. A stunning dark haired woman stepped through the doors and Sasuke waited expectantly for the Hyuuga heiress to follow. He clucked his tongue in disappointment. He felt sorry for the stuttering Hyuuga heiress having to follow after the knockout. Obviously she wasn't even going to come because the doors were closing. Unless.
Sasuke snapped his gaze back to the dark haired woman in the center of the room. Her dark hair was piled up on her head exposing her slender neck. Her skin was milky white and utterly flawless. Her navy gown hugged her body, emphasizing her perfect posture.
At that moment Uchiha Sasuke realized that Hyuuga Hinata was a woman, and beautiful one at that.
