School life. SasuHina: Unnoticed smile. Ch16
They walked in Hyuuga mansion and Hanabi was just coming out of her room. –Onee-chan! – She yelled. –Hi sis. – Answered Hinata and Sasuke just nodded. –How have you been doing? – Hinata asked and they walked in kitchen. –Oh… Since Onee-chan came to school Sachiko-chan is my friend. Actually we are best friends right now. She apologized to me and bought a present. – Hanabi was preparing tea for everyone, while Hinata and Sasuke was sitting and smiling at her. *She is so naïve. * Hinata thought and laughed. Sasuke heard that and turned his gaze on Hinata. *Why is she laughing by herself so much!?* He thought feeling kind of weird. –And are you okay by yourself? – Hinata asked. –Yeah Onee-chan. Actually I am not by myself. Neji and Ten-Ten is here every day. Basically in Neji's room. And there are maids. And… and Sachiko is coming over to my place every day. – Hanabi was smiling. *Onee-chan… I am not okay… If you're not here, I am lonely and lost!* Thought Hanabi. –You're so stupid sis. – Hinata answered and both, Sasuke and Hanabi, shocked looked at Hinata. –You think that I, your older sister, will not see that you are lonely? – Hinata stood up. –Come here! – She said and opened her hands for a hug. –Onee-chan! – Yelled Hanabi and rushed in Hinata's hands. –If you ever feel lonely you can call me. After all I am your sister! – Hinata said and let go Hanabi. *Hinata can even tell how her sister actually feels. She knows her so well…* Thought Sasuke and smirked.
Hanabi placed teas on table. –Hanabi, could you please prepare something for Hiashi to wear? He thinks that he will be back home tomorrow. – Hinata smiled and Hanabi nodded. Hanabi went to Hiashi's room to find something for him. –You two are really close. – Said Sasuke and Hinata sadly looked at him. –No, we're not. Remember dinner at my house? – Hinata asked and looked away from Sasuke. –Yeah. – Said Sasuke. He couldn't understand what Hinata wanted to say. –That day, after two years, since I left home, I finally met her. She thinks of me right now like I am her mother, yet I can't be by her side all the time. It really hurts me and probably her too. – Hinata took her cup of tea. –But just now you two acted as if you were really close, as if you understand her feelings really good. – Sasuke said confused. –Mmm… Probably because I can tell what peoples really feel, by looking in their eyes. And…I remember how I felt when Hiashi started to hate me… - Quietly said Hinata and sighed. –What do you mean by that you can tell what peoples feel? – Sasuke little bit shocked asked. *Does she can tell what I feel?* Thought he. –Let me look in to your eyes and I will tell you what you are feeling at the moment or what you are feeling most of the time. But…I…Since your parents died…I can't understand your feelings. – Hinata sighed again.
Both of them heard Hanabi's footsteps in hall and kept quiet. –Onee-chan, why father got in to hospital? And why he doesn't let me or anyone else, except you and Saa-niisan (Sasuke... ^-^), to visit him? Even maids! – Hanabi placed Hiashi's clothes on table. Hinata was quiet. It bothered Hanabi and after some time Sasuke started to bother too. He turned his head towards Hinata. Suddenly, as if Hinata snapped out of daze, she smiled. –Actually, I think he doesn't want anyone to worry about him and he doesn't want anyone to see him in that kind of state. – Hinata said and stood up. –But why he is letting you and Saa-niisan to visit? – Hanabi said in imperative voice. It was rather funny, 'cause Hanabi's voice was too child-like. –Probably because I have seen him in more bad situation. – Hinata smiled. –And why did he got in there? – Hanabi walked after Hinata, who went to corridor to leave. Sasuke was right beside Hinata. Hinata kept quiet. *Should I tell her? No… Sasuke will not want anyone to find that out. He…* Hinata's thought were interrupted by Sasuke's voice. –He got in to hospital because I and Hinata are getting married soon. – Sasuke said and Hinata puzzled. –Onee-chan! Why didn't you told me? Argh… Sometimes you are so mean! Why didn't you told me that my beautiful Onee-chan is getting married to the most handsome man? – Hanabi was angry. –Oh… Hanabi you're so cute when you're angry! – Hinata smiled and hugged Hanabi. –Onee-chan! Why you have to get married? I will not see you anymore? – Hanabi was becoming sad. –Of course no. I will come to visit you. – Hinata said and laughed. –My Onee-chan is taken away..! – Hanabi sniffed. –You're even cutter when you are jealous. – Hinata let Hanabi go and took Hiashi's clothes. –See ya! – She yelled out and went to hospital.
*She is really naïve, stupid and too lightheaded.* thought Hinata. –Sasuke, if you don't want to come whit me you can go anywhere else. – Hinata said and Sasuke smirked. –I have something I want to ask your father. – He said and Hinata puzzled. *Something to ask!? What is he thinking about?* She thought. *Hinata… This girl is totally the opposite of what I have imagined her like.* Thought Sasuke and lightly laughed. It was so quiet that Hinata didn't notice it. –Hinata, your family is more formal like right? – Sasuke asked and Hinata confused looked at Sasuke. –I mean dinners and fiestas. It's always formal in your family right? – Sasuke asked again. –Oh…That…Yeah. Our family is formal. You could actually say that. – Hinata lightly laughed. *She has such a cute voice…* Thought Sasuke.
They approached hospital and Hinata slowly approached ward as if she didn't wanted to do it. –Hiashi? – She asked when she opened ward doors and walked in. –Yes? – Asked Hiashi. –Oh… I will place your clothes on table. I don't know what is there because Hanabi was the one who prepared them. – Hinata said and walked back toward doors as she wanted to leave already. –Hyuuga-san? – Suddenly asked Sasuke. –Hiashi is okay Sasuke. – Hiashi said and sat up in bed. –Hiashi-san, I know this marriage isn't because of love, but since childhood I was thought to relate towards these kinds of things very formal. So I wanted to ask. Will you, father of Hyuuga Hinata, let me marry your daughter? – Sasuke took out a small box then opened it. –I guess I have to say yes. – Hiashi mumbled and Sasuke walked towards Hinata. He took Hinata's hand and opened that small box. Sasuke took out the ring and slipped it on Hinata's finger. –Will you marry me? – Sasuke asked and Hinata lightly blushed. Not that she didn't know that Sasuke didn't loved her, just those words from his mouth was something she wanted to hear from childhood. She nodded. –Yes I will. – She said and softly smiled. Sasuke smirked.
-Okay Hiashi, we will be going now. – Hinata said and they walked out from ward and after from hospital. –It's already so late. – Hinata said as they walked in Konoha's streets. Suddenly Sasuke's stomach rumbled. He worriedly looked at Hinata and she started to laugh. –Yeah… We haven't eaten since morning. We can go by some food and I will prepare something at home. – Hinata said as Sasuke blushed at his stomach rumbling. –Mh… - Sasuke nodded and they walked in a shop. –I think it will be good if we will buy some prepared to eat ramen as I think that we will eat and only after I will prepare something because it will take some time until I finish something to eat. – Hinata said and took two ramen. –What do you want me to prepare? Okonomiyaki ("As-you-like-it Pancake"), Tempura (Seafood and vegetables deep fried in tempura batter), Yakitori (Skewered grilled chicken), Nikujaga (Meat and potatoes) or Tsukimi Udon (Japanese noodles. "Viewing moon" Udon (the yolk of an egg represents the moon)). – Hinata stopped in front of vegetables and waited for Sasuke's answer. –Hinata, actually I don't know. Just something that is tasty and easy to make. – Sasuke said. *Anything you will prepare will be okay.* Thought he. Hinata laughed. –There isn't any dish that is easy to prepare. – Hinata said and started to walk again. –I think that I will prepare some Tempura and rice for today. Is it okay whit you? – She asked and took some vegetables. Hinata walked through the shop like half an hour and noticed that Sasuke really hates it.
–Sorry Sasuke. I told you if you don't want to come you could go and do anything else. – Hinata suddenly said when she was already paying for food. –Oh… I am just a little bit tired. I will pay for it. – Sasuke answered and took out his purse. –I know guys hate these kinds of things and no you will not. This time I will pay. There will be a plenty chances to pay for food or anything else. – Hinata said and placed her money on cash-desk. Sasuke lightly sighed. –Bear whit it Sasuke. – Hinata said and weakly sighed. *Did she thought that I sighed because I was annoyed?* Thought he. *Why did I realized, that he hates it so much, this late?* thought Hinata as she packed up food.
-I will take it. – Sasuke said when Hinata ended packing them. –You can take one bag and I will take another. – Hinata smiled and took one, the heaviest, bag. –Oh no Hinata… - Sasuke took out from Hinata's hands bag and placed there his bag. –I will take them the heaviest. – He smiled. *His smile… So cute.* Thought Hinata and they walked home.
Hinata opened doors to apartment and they walked to kitchen. –Wait one minute. – She said and after one minute she placed ramen in front of him, then she walked to bedroom and after came back whit small gift-wrapping. She gave it to Sasuke. –It's not a present. – She said and sat down in front of Sasuke. Sasuke took that gift-wrapping and opened it. There was a very beautiful key. Not an ordinary key. There was a really small and cute angel on keys end and, where was supposed to be place where are holding keys, was angels wings. –This is a special key to this apartment. My mother gave this key in my childhood and as a memory of her, I made my apartment key like this. – Hinata smiled and started to eat. *As a memory of hers mother…*Thought Sasuke. –Thanks. It's really beautiful. – He said and slipped the key on his key ring. –I think this key is opening something else, yet I have no idea what. – Hinata said and both of them were eating quietly after.
When they ended to eat, Hinata washed dishes and sent Sasuke to watch TV or do anything else he wanted to do. After, she started to prepare something to eat. While she prepared dishes, Sasuke was watching TV. He looked at his hand watch. *It's already 12 PM. She is in the kitchen for three hours. Maybe I should go and help her?* thought Sasuke and stood up. He walked to the kitchen and found a sleeping beauty. Hinata was already finished whit food and feel asleep on table in front of food. *She was tired… Why didn't she told me?* Thought Sasuke and picked Hinata up in bride-style. He walked to bedroom. When he placed Hinata on bed, she opened her eyes.
*When did I feel asleep?* She thought and then saw Sasuke's face. She noticed that she is in bed. *But I was in kitchen…* Thought she. –Sorry Sasuke. You should have just waked me up… - Hinata said and saw Sasuke's soft expression. –You should have told me that you are tired. – Sasuke said and sat on bed. –Sorry. – Hinata mumbled and sighed. –Why are you apologizing all the time? – He suddenly asked and Hinata blushed. –I…Probably because I often had to apologize in my childhood. – Hinata laughed and stood up. –You can go to bed. I will just change and will go to bed too. – She said and started to dress down.
She changed while Sasuke looked at her puzzled. Hinata didn't notice his gaze. *She is so beautiful. I am lucky…* Thought Sasuke and changed too. Both of them crawled in bed. –What about school tomorrow? – Asked Sasuke. –I will wake you up and you can decide do you want to go or no. – Hinata said calmly. –And what about you? – Sasuke asked and turned towards her. –I have some business at hospital and something else to do. – She said and turned to face Sasuke too. –Okay. – He said and closed his eyes. –Mm… Sasuke? – Hinata quietly asked. –Yes? – Answered Sasuke. –I am sorry for all the trouble I and my mother put you through because of this marriage. – Hinata said and Sasuke's eyes opened. –Hinata! Please stop apologizing! My mother is at fault too. – Sasuke said sharply. *As I thought, he really doesn't have any feeling towards me. Not even a small liking.* -Sorry. – She mumbled again. –Hinata! – He yelled it out a little bit louder. –Ups… Sor… Good night. – Hinata said and turned away. *Stop apologizing.* Hinata thought and closed her eyes.
-You know, I have never thought about marrying. I was always telling myself that I will never get married, because all girls are the same. Every girlfriend, every girl I slept whit was only after my look. I kind of hated girls. – He said and Hinata's eyes opened but she didn't turn around, Sasuke still knew Hinata was listening. –But…Now that I think about it, you, Hinata, are different. I mean I am not against this marriage because you knew me since childhood. I don't really remember it, but I believe it. It's okay if I get married to you and after all we can divorce after two years. – Sasuke said and Hinata heard that he turns away. *Of course if you will want to divorce…* he thought and closed his eyes. *Of course we will divorce only if you will want to. * -Good night Sasu-kun. Sleep well. – Hinata half turned to Sasuke and smiled. –Good night Hinata. – He answered and smiled too. No one saw them smiling at that night. No one noticed that they were happy to be able to sleep in the same bed together. No one noticed it. Even they didn't notice it.
