"Lady Naru please don't be too upset." Lady Hinata comforted as she tied the strings on the back of Naru's dark blue dress. It had a corset top, a long bell shape floor-length skirt, and half of her hair up and the other half down.
"Why do I have to get so fancy for dinner? I thought Uchicha's orders were to work for him." Naru grumbled angrily as she stared at her reflection. She never wore alot of make-up, only eyeliner, a little mascara, and red lipstick.
"I do not know Lady Naru, but I follow Lord Uchicha's orders without questions." Hinata said softly. Naru met Hinata's gaze as Hinata tied the last string. Hinata softly smiled and her glazed eyes turned compassionate. "Lady Naru he's not as bad as he seems. He puts off a harsh shell but on the inside he's a softy ... Well maybe not a complete softy ..." Hinata mumbled the last part. A bell rang in the distance and Hinata moved half of Lady Naru's hair over her shoulder. "There. Now put on a smile for the lord and enjoy a wonderful dinner. Tomorrow I'm sure you begin work." Hinata stepped to the side and Naru took a last glance in the mirror before standing up.
"Let's get this over with my dear." Naru grumbeld going out the open door that Hinata held open.

"Where is she?" Sasuke demanded the butler.
"She'll be down in a minute sir." The butler responded cooley.
"She better damn well hurry up." Sasuke growled. The butler nodded and a second later the doors to the dining room swung open.
"Lady, Naru." A deep voice announced. Sasuke stopped pacing and stared at Naru.
"Beautiful." Sasuke smiled. Naru blushed and looked down at the ground. "Supper my dear." Sasuke moved beside her and offered his arm. Naru stared down at it then up at him, and she reluctantly rested her hand atop his. "I'm so glad you decided to join me." Sasuke said happily. Naru clenched her teeth angrily but then plastered on a fake smile as Sasuke lead her to her seat at one end of the elegant table.
"Well, Lord Sasuke, I didn't really have a choice did I?" Naru asked with just a hint of sarcasm. Sasuke chuckled.
"Fiesty, I like. And just to point out, my dear, I did not force you into that delicious dress." Sasuke said pulling out the chair. Naru smiled but her eyes were alight with fire.
"Thank you." She said shortly. Sasuke walked a few feet to his chair at the other end of the white table and sat. He clapped his hands twice and a server appeared with two silver covered dishes. He sat one in front of Sasuke, removed the lid, and then did the same for Naru. He filled their glasses high with red wine and exited the room. Naru stared wide-eyed at the dinner before her.
"Please, help yourself." Sasuke said smiling at her and picking up his fork. For dinner that night Sasuke had chosen a shrimp platter with a potato soup. Naru slowly registered that this was to be eaten by her and she delicately picked up her fork and cautiously struck into one of the juicy shrimp. She gingerly bit into it and smiled. "I hope it is to your liking." Sasuke said dabbing at his mouth with a napkin. Naru finished chewing and gave a small smile.
"It's divine." She confirmed. They sat in silence and ate for a few minutes longer. Then Sasuke noisely set down his fork and linked his hands and rested his chin on them. Naru felt him staring and looked up at him through her side-swept bangs.
"You must be wondering why I called you down here." Sasuke stated in amusement. Naru put down her fork and crossed her hands in her lap.
"But of course. You called on me in service, not to elegantly dine with you." Naru said firmly. Sasuke smiled and looked away shutting his eyes.
"I simply needed company my dear ..."
"You have many staff. Surely Lady Hinata could have been in my posistion as well. Or one of your many heard of female companions." Naru said with ice in her voice. Sasuke opened his eyes and stared seductively across the table at Naru.
"None are as much fun as you my dear. Besides, you need only wait a month." Sasuke said pushing his chair up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have matters to attend to. You are dismissed, Lady Hinata will show you back to your room." Naru turned around and Hinata was standing in the doorframe shyly picking at invisible fuzz at the bottom of her black and white skirt.
"Thank you for dinner, Lord Uchicha." Naru said before standing up and briskly walking out of the room. Sasuke smirked and watched her walk away.

"Ugh!" Naru yelled in frustration. "The nerve of that man! I have never met someone so absolutely condescending and as arrogant as Lord Uchicha. I pity the poor woman who chooses the role of his wife!" Naru said angrily throwing the dress across the room. She grabbed the silk dark purple nightgown and shoved it over her head and Hinata shifted uncomfortably.
"He will change in your eyes eventually Lady Naru, I promise you this." Hinata said giving Naru a smile. Naru looked at her over shoulder, and her frown slowly transformed to a small smile.
"You need not call me Lady, Miss Hinata. Naru will do fine. I feel we will become very close within this next month." Naru said as she pulled the rubber band out and let her hair fall down around her shoulders. Hinata blushed and looked down at the floor.
"Very well ... Naru. I will see you in the morning." Hinata said opening the door.
"Goodnight Hinata. Sleep well." Naru called as she climbed under layers of silk covering on her bed. She clapped and the lights turned out. He's a really extravagent man. Naru thought to herself rolling her eyes in the dark. Her head turned to the great window where the moon shone clear and bright onto her bed, highlighting her bright blue eyes and pale milk skin. "I wonder what my love is doing now ..." Naru mumbled sadly thinking of her betrothed.
