Chapter 11
"Eeeehhh? As in tomorrow?" Naruto shouted, along with Kiba and Ino.
"To-mo-rrow. Exactly as I said it," Tsunade explained once again, as if the people she's talking to didn't hear her for the hundredth time.
"But…But!" Naruto began complaining, waving his hands in the air. Ino, somehow similar to Naruto, started pouting and protesting and saying something like 'a date with Shikamaru', while Kiba, on the other hand, yelped in surprise.
"You know," Tsunade started once again to clear her order, "A good Shinobi doesn't let any personal thing get in his work. As the others have already told you for so how many times, a Shinobi is just a tool. And in this situation I want you to pass that information in your thick skull."
The three bowed their heads in disappointment and in shame.
"Well, then again, sorry for giving you another mission, Naruto-kun. But trust me, this mission suits you best. Ja ne." Tsunade finished, made it clear that she didn't want to talk about it anymore by leafing through her papers noisily.
"Seems like I wouldn't be able to watch Hina-chan and that teme on their date after all…" Naruto mumbled.
------------------------------------------
Hinata trembled as she walked towards her bed. Scanning her belongings, she quickly dropped them in her bag and sighed. She fiddled once again with her bag, opened it, took out its contents, reassured herself that she got everything she's supposed to have, and then hastily packed her things in.
For a few minutes it continued like this, a never ending cycle. Open, fiddle, pour out, assures, and stuffs it in. Open, fiddle, pour out, assures, and stuffs it in.
"Hinata-nee-chan!!! Someone's out there to see y— is that a dress I see you're wearing?!!" Hanabi's untamed voice came from the doorway. Apparently she let herself in without knocking.
"Oh, um…yes… it is a dress… and…and well… who is it?" Hinata asked, although she knew to the very core of her heart that there can only be one person who would want her at this time of the night.
"Guess who! Guess who!" Hanabi shouted in delight, now already bouncing up and down in her sister's bed. In front of their father she acts like she is superior to her onee-chan, but in reality she really looks up to her older sister.
"Uchiha…Sasuke?" Hinata whispered. Knowing she could not let the orphan wait any moment longer she bravely took her purse and stepped out of her room, flooding her sibling with messages of don't-forgets. Hurriedly Hinata went outside to meet her date.
Oh, how handsome Sasuke looked! At first sight Hinata's heart thumped a little bit wilder than usual. She didn't know Sasuke could be this so gorgeous and appealing to her. He was fully clad in coat and tie, with polished shoes and hair neatly comb. His usual grin hung upon his lips and that rare magical look in his eyes had truly captured her heart. Or rather, Sakura's.
On the other hand, the princess had entirely won Sasuke's attention. She was wearing a purple, simple spaghetti-strapped dress that stops exactly by her knees. Her lavender tinted hair that she had protectively taken care of was pinned in a bun at the back of her head, secured tight with beautiful and magnificent sparkling, oriental hair pins. Her creamy complexion matched the hue of her mauve-colored dress; leaving her astonishingly stunning. And goodness, those lips.
Sasuke just couldn't help himself; he was getting attracted to Hinata more and more. The way she talks, the way she moves, how she unconsciously crinkled her nose makes his life turn upside down. For him, she was the only girl worth loving.
"S-sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked. Sasuke had been gaping at her for a few minutes already, and it made her extremely embarrassed.
"Sorry." He uttered and offered her his hand. She gracefully swings her arm and locked it into his, and both made their way outside the Hyuuga's territory.
-----------------
Sasuke had taken Hinata in a luxurious restaurant. Both had their share of a good meal and a good laugh. Spending couple of hours just talking and knowing more about each other, the pair couldn't feel anymore close to each other. They talked like they were old friends and listened to each other with utmost interest. After that he invited her to a walk at the park.
"I would love t-to…" Hinata replied with a smile. She had never been to a walk before at night – even when Naruto calls her out for a date he just usually walks her home, but never strolled her around the village just to have more time to talk and to be with each other.
They wander mostly at the park where flowers softly wave by the flick of the evening wind. It was a beautiful sight; the stars and moon at their best, and the cicadas' faint chirps could be heard out in a distant. Across the park ran a stream that whistled along the ground, its bank housing multitudes of fireflies.
After an hour of walking Sasuke took Hinata on a grassy spot and laid down his coat on the ground for both of them to sit on. For a few minutes they just sat their looking at the bright, twinkling stars and the breath-taking scenery about them. Truly the night is lovely like a dream.
"S-sasuke-kun?" Hinata whispered like a child all of a sudden.
"Hmm?" Sasuke grunted, or asked, or just plain responded, turning his head to look at Hinata, who was partially glowing because of the moonlight and because of sheer happiness.
"Thank you for b-bringing me here… I've never been here before, and I'm thankful that… even for o-once, I saw something m-marvelous a place like this."
"It's alright. You know, this is my favorite place, and I've never shared this sanctuary before with anyone else."
"R-really?"
"Yes." And then silence.
"…Sa....Sasuke-kun?" Came Hinata's small squeak again.
"Hmm?"
"Why…why did you… you… w-want to h-have a d-date with… with…. With m-me?" came the question he didn't know how to answer.
For a while he did not reacted, nor said a single word. He kept on sighing, looking at the blades of leaf beneath them, and then sighing again. Hinata, who fully understands that the answer to her question takes a lot of time to admit, patiently waited for Sasuke to answer.
"You wanna know why?" came Sasuke's manly yet soft voice. Quickly he caught Hinata's waist, moved an inch closer to her, and locked her lips in his. Hinata resisted at first, but slowly she let her defiance down. Hell, it was tempting, and she was tempted, and was consciously aware that she gave in to temptation. She was human, after all. She can't be perfect, even if to her, Sasuke almost was.
Breaking the kiss yet still not letting go, he gave a quick whisper of 'I love you' to her. Hinata replied an answer that she would never forget and would never regret in her life:
"I love you too, Sasuke-kun…"
