Wooo, I'm sleepy . This is short chapter, sort of a continuation of the prologue or whatever you can call it.
I do not own any of the Naruto characters or franchise! All honors go to Masahi Kishimoto-Sensei!
Itachi Uchiha smirked at the meek young woman who had passed him. She looked far more beautiful than she ever had in during their few meetings. Her pure white sun dress against her pale skin would've made her look like snow if not for her bold navy locks cascading down her torso. She had looked at him with those bright eyes not knowing the affect she could have on even him.
He wanted her.
Simple as that. Even if she was engaged to his 'little brother' that meant nothing to him. If Naruto could still fuck with Sakura than he could have his way with Hinata. Of course it was all for pleasure so he couldn't or rather wouldn't feel guilty. In fact, maybe it would teach him a valuable lesson about balancing women. Itachi walked back into the hall where he sat next to Ino, one of his brother's friends that he could stand. "I can't believe this!" She exclaimed watching her best friend quietly argue with her father. "How could she not tell me?" But Itachi wasn't listening. He was watching the furious expression on his target's face. How she didn't even look at Naruto through their whole dinner. It wasn't until the hostess announced that the dance floor was open that she lightened up. Itachi didn't even have a chance to talk to her thanks to Ino and Tenten, Hinata's other best friend, immediately crowding her space. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ino whined as she latched on to Hinata's arm. "I didn't even myself." She mumbled, mostly because Naruto was only a few feet behind her. "Either way, we're taking you out tonight." Tenten grinned, trying to cheer up the distraught girl.
"I don't think I can." She winced.
"Well, you're the head of the house now! You can do whatever the hell you want!" Ino grinned and handed a bottle from her purse. "Straight tequila. Just like you to have this, Ino." Hinata gave a small chuckle. "Just chug it, no one will know." Ino nudged the shy girl, her crystal blue eyes shifting around the dim lit room. Hinata shrugged and gave quick swig, patting her throat at the fiery affect it gave off. "Hina-chan and Tenten, my dear girls, this marks the start of totally shit-faced night." Ino sung, swinging an arm around both of the girls' waists. Tenten merely rolled her eyes. "Guess I'm driving tonight." Was her only reply. "That's what taxis are for."
Hinata managed to fight her way out of Ino's arms to gather her belongings and change shoes. She was so busy rushing that she barely noticed the broad chest she had landed in for the second time. "You might need a pair of glasses, Hinata-chan." He chuckled, helping the girl up from the floor. "Itachi-san." She said, there was no mistaking the man this time. "Yes?" He was smiling but his eyes had the dangerous look of a predator. "Nothing, I'm sorry I didn't greet you before, though." She blushed, suddenly embarrassed for some reason. "No problem, it's been a while since we've seen each other." She nodded in reply. "Sasuke gives his condolences for not being able to make it; he's out of town visiting our parents." She nodded again; her shyness was merely giving him the control he wanted. "So… where are you headed tonight?" His voice was becoming more of a whisper as he subtly leaned down. "I-Ino and T-Tenten and I are headed to C-Crater City to celebrate." She stammered; it was a habit she only regained when she was startled. But before he had a chance to interrogate her any further the cacophony know as Naruto showed up. "Hinata! Itachi!" He called, waving wildly at the girl. Itachi could see her shoulders tense up but she still gave a warm smile. "Naruto-kun." She winced, but still with a smile on her face. Itachi merely nodded, a protectiveness coming over his mood.
"I just wanted to apologize for how the announcement came about, I would have liked to talk to you in private but your father insisted." Naruto bowed but Hinata raised him up. "It's no problem, I understand." She replied. It was then that Itachi realized why she was so frustrated; it was the girl behind Naruto.
Sakura.
Everyone knew they had a fling going on but still, at the party where Naruto was announced to be married to another girl? That took a lot of balls. "Congratulations, Hinata-chan." The pinkette smiled, but resentment riddled her voice. The two girls merely stood there smiling a moment before Naruto retreated sheepishly, realizing his wrong doing.
"I'll be taking my leave now, Itachi-san." Hinata bowed to the handsome man, thinking that'd be the end of it. "Then I'll be seeing you soon, Hinata-chan." He smirked as she nodded and left. The poor girl didn't realize how soon it'd be.
I know it was short, but I'm sleepy :D (4:12 a.m) Now I will go sleep and dream of story plots.
