Once Upon an Engagement
Chapter 6: Day Four
Two angry and disgruntled figures sat at the local bar drinking their sorrows away in sake. Both were drunk off their rocker swaying from side to side on their bar stools.
"I can't believe that bitch got my Sasuke-kun!"
"I can't believe that bastard got my Hinata-chan!", both shouted at the same time. The pair turned to look at each other.
"What'd you say?", they both slurred out. The two were an embarrassing sight. The bar tender just shook her head ignoring the two drunks making noise.
"I said that bastard doesn't deserve Hinata. Someone so tainted doesn't need to be near someone as pure as Hinata.", the male said.
"And that hussy doesn't deserve Sasuke-kun. He doesn't need some weakling dragging him down.", said the female.
The two were suddenly silent, nothing left to say. The woman hung her head down, hair falling into her face. The male knocked back another shot, wincing at the burning feeling. The woman lifted her head up having a mini epiphany.
"I have an idea."
"What the hell are you babbling about?"
"Isn't it obvious? You want Hinata and I want Sasuke.", he nodded following along. Barely.
"So what's your point?"
She sighed at his slowness, "My point is all we have to do is set the two of them up. We have to make them think that the other wronged them so that they won't want the other. Then when they're all broken hearted we'll be there to pick up the pieces." The males face lit up at the realization, then darkened again.
"And just how are we supposed to do this?"
Leaning in closer to him she began to whisper into his ear, "All we have to do is…"
The two spent the rest of the night scheming up a plan. The male nodded his head to everything the female said. By the end of the night the male hoped that he wouldn't regret his actions.
______________________________________________________________________
Sasuke walked through the town. He had a lot of time before he had to go pick up Hinata. He had to find a way to convince her to accept him and his feelings. But more importantly to accept the fact that they would be married. But first he wanted to buy her a ring to make the engagement more real. As much as he hated to admit it what Sakura had said up set him.
So walking into the jewelers' shop he began to look for a ring that would fit her. Glancing around he couldn't seem to find anything that measured up to what he thought Hinata deserved. Don't get him wrong they were all beautiful and he was sure Hinata would love them. But to him they just didn't represent Hinata's personality.
The shop keeper walked over to him, "Looking for anything in particular?"
"No just looking thank you."
Then he remembered his mother's wedding ring that laid in a case up in the attic of the manor. It was perfect for her, he couldn't think of anyone else he would rather give the ring to. Leaving the store he decided to start heading over to Hinata's house. Better early then late.
______________________________________________________________________
"Alright you know the plan. Create a clone and turn it into Hinata and have it pretend to be her when Sasuke comes, while you play yourself. I'll head over to the Hyuuga compound and make a clone of myself turning it into Sasuke and have it play him, while I play myself when Hinata comes. Do you got it all?", the female asked.
"Yeah I got it.", the male nodded.
"Good. Now come on he's about to round the corner."
The male quickly made a clone changing it into Hinata, while the female headed towards the Hyuuga compound.
______________________________________________________________________
Rounding the corner he thought about whether he should take Hinata to his home and give her the ring or make it more romantic. He stopped when he notice Hinata and Kiba talking in a secluded area away from prying eyes. Quickly hiding behind the corner he listened to what the two were talking about.
"How could you marry that bastard Hinata?"
"I don't want to. I'd much rather be with you Kiba-kun. How could I ever love some one with no family. He probably doesn't understand the value of family. He has no heart, unlike you Kiba-kun. I would be proud to bare your children. The thought of letting him touch me much less having his kids sickens me."
"Do you mean it Hinata?", he asked pulling her closer.
"Yes I do. I'll prove it.", she said her voice lowering as she moved even closer. Hinata reached up and cupped his cheek, pulling him down to meet her lips in a hungry kiss.
Sasuke stood shocked staring at the two. By the time he snapped out of it and went to give the two a piece of his mind they had gone. Growling Sasuke stared at the spot where they had just stood. So she thought he had no heart huh? Well he'd just have to show her how heartless he could be. Sasuke ran towards the Hyuuga compound. It was time to set some things straight with Hinata.
______________________________________________________________________
Hinata hummed as she moved around the kitchen. She was unusually happy today even for her standards. She felt slightly bad for what she had done to Sasuke yesterday. She was surprised he just laughed it off instead of trying to cause he bodily harm. Deciding to make it up to him she had woken up early and began to make him chocolate chip cookies. She had heard they were his second favorite food next to tomatoes. Hopefully he would accept them, and not suspect them of being poisonous.
Hinata had also decided to give Sasuke a chance. Sure they hadn't started off on the right foot, but from what she had seen so far he seemed nice. It wouldn't kill her to give him a fair chance. After all if she ended up liking him then she would end up as his wife, if not then she could just tell her father she tried her best but it didn't work. He couldn't fault her for that. Loading the cookies on a giant plate she exited the Hyuuga compound and began heading towards Sasuke's house. She stopped when she noticed Sasuke and Sakura in a very close embrace.
"I can't believe that you're really going to marry her Sasuke-kun."
"The only girl I love and will ever love is you Sakura. The Hyuuga is just someone I need to bare my children. The mixing of our two clans will create a stronger clan. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't even consider marrying that weakling. Unfortunately the other Hyuuga female is to young so I'm stuck with her."
"Oh Sasuke-kun do you really mean it?"
"Of course. Once I have at least two children I will leave her and you and I will be married." Leaning down he began to kiss her, his tongue entering her mouth. Hinata didn't know why but for some reason when she saw them kiss she felt a piece of her heart fall away. Turning she ran back to the Hyuuga compound and up to her room.
______________________________________________________________________
"Where's Hinata?", an out of breathe Sasuke asked a maid.
"In her r-room Uchiha-sama.", stuttered the maid.
"Well take me to her.", Sasuke growled out.
"Y-Yes Uchiha-sama.", quickly bowing she lead him to Hinata's room. Upon reaching the door Sasuke turned to the frightened maid.
"Leave. We are not to be disturbed unless it is an emergency. If we are disturbed for something unimportant I will hold you personally responsible. If asked we are on our date, understand?" The maid nodded and bowed happy to be able to leave his angry presence.
Opening the door to her room Sasuke saw Hinata laying face down on the bed her body shaking with the force of her silent sobs, a plate of cookies on the dresser next to her bed.
"Aw are you crying at your unfortunate luck of being engaged to me?", he taunted coldly. She sat up and wiped the tears away that stained her cheeks and threatened to pour down at the sight of him. She glared at him and he glared back.
"I think we need to talk Hinata.", he grunted out.
"Yeah, we do.", she spat out.
He walked over to her trying to look imposing. She stood and looked up into his eyes that were red from his sharingan. His hands shot forward grabbing her by her forearms. Swinging her around he slammed her into the closest wall.
"Get this through your head now Hinata so that I won't have to repeat myself later. You are mine. You are my fiancé and you are marrying me. Whether you like it or not you are marrying me, the man with no heart or family. So you can just forget about Kiba, cause if I see you with him again I swear I'll kill him. And I don't make idle threats Hinata."
"That's not what you were saying a minute ago when you were hugged up and locking lips with Sakura.", Hinata shouted back.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb I heard every word you said to that slut."
"And what exactly did I supposedly say?"
"You said you were only marrying me for my bloodline. So that you can have a strong clan. That if it weren't for that you wouldn't even consider me. That you didn't want to marry a weakling like me. That you'd rather marry Sakura." Hinata pushed against his chest.
"And after I woke up early this morning to make you these stupid cookies as an apology for yesterday.", picking up a cookie she threw it at him.
"Wait you were making cookies this morning.", Sasuke interrupted.
"Yeah. And when I left to give them to you I caught you with your whore."
"Hinata the only place I went today was to the jewelry store then here after seeing you hugged up with Kiba."
"Kiba? Why would I be hugged up with Kiba?", Hinata asked incredulously.
"And why would I be hugged up with Sakura of all people?"
"So… Are you saying we got played by them?"
"That's what I'm starting to think."
"But why would Kiba do this? I can see Sakura doing it, but Kiba?", she sat down on the bed.
"People do crazy things when they're in love.", he sat next to her on the bed.
"Sorry."
"Hm?", he turned his head towards he questioningly.
"For throwing a cookie at you."
"Sorry for pushing you into a wall."
"No problem. So what did they make you believe?"
"They had you say that you didn't want me because I had no heart and because I… because I have no family."
"You know I would never say that right. I would never convict you because you had you family taken away from you.", she place her hand on his knee, "They went to far. I'm going to talk to Kiba."
"No wait.", he grabbed her before she could stand, "I'll talk to Kiba and Sakura. Don't worry about anything."
"Alright.", she settled down then saw how dark it was out side.
"Well this was a waste of a date."
"Yes it truly was, but interesting none the less.", she laughed a little at the comment. He leaned over and kissed her. Placing her hand on his cheek she deepened it. Pulling back he smiled at her.
"I'll see you tomorrow Hinata.", she nodded a slight blush coming to her face. He left the compound and headed towards to the Inuzuka residence.
______________________________________________________________________
Hinata fell back onto her bed and sighed. What a day she thought. What exactly did she feel for Sasuke? She felt broken when she saw the fake Sasuke kiss Sakura, and excited when he called her his so possessively. If she hadn't been mad at him she was sure she would have been blushing. But what was worse was that she realized that the feelings she had for Naruto was like child's play compared to how she felt about Sasuke.
"Sasuke.", she sighed rolling onto her side.
______________________________________________________________________
Kiba went flying out his front door slamming into the hard, cold rocky ground outside.
"If you ever try something like that again I'll kill you. Understand mutt? Hinata is mine and I don't take it lightly when people cross me. I'll let it slide this time but consider yourself warned.", Sasuke began walking away then stopped, "Oh and tell that pink haired slut that if I see her anywhere near Hinata I'll kill her too.", Sasuke threatened. He left leaving Kiba there to lay in the dirt. Oh yeah he definitely regretted his decision to listen to Sakura.
"Damn. I think I pissed my pants."
