Although Hinata was very confused about the supposed date she was on, she decided to make the best out of this situation. She was excited that she got to ride around in a limo. She was so focused on Sasuke she never really got to take a good look around the limo on the way to the restaurant. Sasuke was starring out the window ignoring as Hinata looked around the limo. Even though he looked upset Hinata was going not going let his bad mood bring her down.
Hinata knew that she'd probable never get to have another day like this and she was determined to enjoy herself. Hinata found a wall panel with buttons on it; she reached out and pressed one. The limo filled with colorful lights, Hinata looked around amazed, "So cool."
Sasuke looked over at Hinata as she stared at the pretty lights roaming around the limo; he was confused at how happy she looked but just some flashing lights. Hinata didn't notice Sasuke was watching her as she turned off the lights and flipped another switch. The window behind her started to roll down surprising the driver, "I'm so sorry, I've just never been in a limo before."
The driver smiled, "No problem miss."
Hinata stretched her hand out to the driver, "I'm Hinata."
The driver pulled up at a stop light, "Nice to meet you Ms. Hinata I'm Sam."
Sasuke shook his head, "Sam? Whose Sam my driver's name is Nick?"
Sam sighed, "No Mr. Uchiha Nick was your last driver you fired him six months ago."
Sasuke scratched his head, "I did?"
Sam nodded, "Yes sir, is that all?" Sasuke just nodded still surprised that he didn't remember firing his driver over half a year ago. "Well have fun Ms. Hinata."
"Thanks Sam." Hinata flipped the switch and the window rolled up, she flipped the last switch that made the sun roof open.
Sasuke saw Hinata staring at the sun roof, "Go ahead you know you want to."
Hinata quickly slid over to the sun roof and stuck her head out; she took a deep breath as the wind hit her face. Her hair was blowing in the wind as she passed buildings and people; she couldn't help but smile as she did this. Sasuke had begun watching her again he thought to himself, 'How can she look like she as having so much fun from a sun roof?'
Hinata noticed Sasuke starring at her, "Come up here."
"No."
"Why not?"
"The wind will mess up my hair."
"Oh…..ok." Sasuke saw the disappointment in Hinata's eyes and groaned. He stood up and slid next to Hinata poking his head through the sun roof.
"Happy?"
Hinata stared at him for a moment, "Why are you so angry all the time?"
"Why are you so happy all the time?"
"I'm not, you don't know me."
"And you don't me; you didn't even know who I was. Which by the way amazes me that you had no idea who I was you're like the only girl on the planet that doesn't."
"I know you don't want to be here."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Is it that obvious?"
"Yes."
"What do you want an apology?"
"No."
"Good you're not getting one." Sasuke sat back down in his seat Hinata followed confused about the conversation she just had. She didn't know how she got herself into this situation. The limo stopped and Sasuke got out of the limo and walked into a big glass building.
Hinata stepped out of the limo and looked around confused, "Where am I?"
Sam closed the door behind her, "This is Zoom Records, Connect 4's record label."
"I'm defiantly not in Konoha anymore."
Sam laughed, "Welcome to the music business, you need to go to the twelfth floor I'm pretty sure Mr. Uchiha has left you." Hinata thanked Sam and went inside the building her sneakers squeaked on the gold tiled floor as she walked to the huge elevator.
Upstairs Sasuke slammed the door as he walked into the room where Naruto, Shikamaru and Neji were. Naruto looked behind Sasuke "Where's your date?"
Sasuke flopped down on the couch, "First of all she's not my date and secondly I don't know where she is."
"How could you just ditch your date?"
"Hinata is not my date!"
Naruto stood up, "I can't believe you man, I am going to go find her." Naruto ran out of the room and down the hall he pressed the elevator button and the doors opened revealing a shocked Hinata.
"OH…I'm sorry."
Naruto smiled, "It's ok, you must be Hinata right? I'm Naruto."
Hinata reached out to shake Naruto's stretched out hand, "Nice to meet you."
"How's the date been going so far? I know Sasuke can be a real pain."
"Why is he so mean?"
"Sasuke wasn't always the jack ass he was today."
"What changed?"
"His parents died about two years ago, he's just never been the same."
Hinata gasped, "That's terrible."
"Yeah that's when we started getting famous so Sasuke just closed up. He's gotten worse though, I just can't take it. Before he was just quite but now he became a total jack ass. Well you know what I mean Kakashi told us about what happened at the restaurant."
"Yeah that was a little…odd"
"That's Sasuke."
Just then a door opened and a dark haired man poked his head out, "Hey Naruto, we need you in here for one minute please."
"Right there Yamato." Naruto turned back to Hinata "I'll be right back, the rest of the band is right down the hall." Naruto ran off as Hinata walked down the hall she entered the first room she saw. She was in a big room with guitars, tambourines, a drum set, and a big black piano in the corner.
Hinata closed the door behind her; she walked around playing with the various instruments. She shook the tambourines, banged on the drums and tried to play the guitar before she sat down at the piano. She pressed random keys remembering the days when she used to play the more she remembered the better she played. She started playing a tune she hadn't heard in a very long time, she was getting lost in the music and started singing the words to the song she was playing.
Has anyone ever read you a
fairytale
And taken you to places magical
Where homes are made
of gingerbread and skies are always blue
Where pumpkins turn to
coaches and wishes all come true
Has anyone ever sung you a
lullaby?
You can fly above the rain clouds
Close your eyes
Let
the melody carry you
Leave all your fears behind
You can float
across a rainbow sky to once upon a time.
Across the hall Sasuke was having an argument with Shikamaru and Neji, "Would you two just get off my back?!"
Shikamaru groaned, "You're so troublesome Sasuke."
"Oh give me a break Shi…." Sasuke stopped mid sentence when he heard music playing. "What is that?"
Neji shrugged, "Probable Naruto."
"No it's too good to be that idiot." Sasuke got up and walked across the hall and pressed his ear against the door. "Who is that singing?"
Sasuke reached for the door knob but was stopped by Kakashi, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE? GET INTO MY OFFICE NOW!" Kakashi grabbed Sasuke by his color and pulled him down the hall into his office.
Sasuke pushed Kakashi off him, "Stop that you're going to ruin my shirt."
"What the hell is wrong with you?! I told you there is to be no drinking and you're supposed to act like a civil human being! And you do the exact opposite; I've been running around getting a basket of free stuff for this poor girl since you've absolutely ruined this date."
"It's not a date! And why do you have to give her anything?"
"So maybe she won't run to the tabloids about what an asshole you are!" Kakashi looked around, "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!?"
"Last time I was saw her was the limo."
"SASUKE YOU CAN'T JUST DITCH HER!" Kakashi put his head in his hands, "This is too much Sasuke we are getting bigger every day the tour is almost finished and then you four are right back in the studio starting your third album which means that you've got to start writing some songs! But if you keep acting like this you will lose everything, the money, the cars, the houses, the fans, and most importantly your friends!"
"Whatever."
"See Sasuke that's exactly the problem! Get out of here, AND GO FIND YOUR DATE! AND I SWEAR SASUKE I MEAN IT THIS TIME YOU WILL BE NICE TO HER!" Kakashi pushed Sasuke out of his office and
slammed the door behind him. Sasuke remembered the girl's voice and quickly ran back to the room but found it empty.
"Where could she have gone? Could it have been Hinata?"
"Who?" Sasuke turned around to see Hinata standing in the door way.
"Someone was singing in here was it you?"
Hinata tried to keep calm, "Who? M-Me? N-No I don't sing."
Sasuke stared at her for a minute then nodded, "Of course not what was I thinking it was too good to be you. This is a big studio any girl could have been singing."
"Y-Yeah."
Sasuke sat down at the piano, "Not that it matters but where were you?"
"Uh….bathroom…"
"Whatever." Sasuke started playing the piano.
"That's really good."
"I know."
Hinata had walked over the piano, "N-Naruto told me about your parents….I'm sorry."
Sasuke stopped playing the piano, "Whatever."
"Is that why you're so…..angry all the time?"
"What is your problem? Why are you so obsessed with how I act? It's not like you have any idea how I could feel."
Hinata was quite for a moment, "I lost my mom when I was seven I know how you feel."
"So you still have your dad."
"I have a dad and a little sister, but every since my mom passed away….my dad's never been the same."
"So what do you want me to feel sorry for you?"
Hinata took a step back, "No…just like you don't want anyone to feel sorry for you."
Sasuke thought for a moment, 'She actually does understand, and she has been ok during the whole thing. It wouldn't kill me to be nice to her; since it's obvious she is trying to make this situation better.' Sasuke moved down the piano bench making room for Hinata. "Sit."
Hinata stood there for a moment surprised by Sasuke's action before sitting beside him on the bench. Hinata pressed random keys, "Can you…..play me one of your songs?"
"Why?"
"Because I liked the one I heard before and I was hoping you could sing me another."
Sasuke thought for a moment, "Fine." He started playing the piano and started to sing.

Hinata was speechless she just sat there amazed at the song, "S-Sasuke that was… great."
"Really?"
"Yes, why do you sound so surprised?"
"You're the first person other than myself to hear it."
"You should share it it's incredible I can't believe you wrote it. But why did you pick that one if no one else as heard it?"
"I don't care what you think, so if you hated it wouldn't bother me."
Hinata sighed just when she thought she had gotten Sasuke to be nice to her he went back to being a jerk. Hinata sarcastically said, "You're unbelievable."
"Tell me something I don't know."
Hinata looked over at Sasuke and was about to say something but stopped when she saw Sasuke was not wearing his sunglasses and got she got to take a good look into his eyes. She froze as she starred at his eyes, Sasuke noticed her starring and was about to tell her to stop when he got a good look her eyes. He sat there not knowing what else to do but just sit there and stare into her eyes. They didn't know how long they had been starring at each other when the door flung open, Sasuke looked away and Hinata jumped up.
Naruto stood at the door with Shikamaru and Neji behind him, Naruto smirked "Are we interrupting something?"
Sasuke stood up and walked away from Hinata, "No."
Naruto walked over to Hinata, "Hey Hinata I wanted to introduce you to the rest of the band since Sasuke wasn't doing that. This is Shikamaru, and Neji."
"Nice to meet you both."
Neji froze up as he was shaking Hinata's hand, "Uh…I forgot I have to….do something….got to go." He spun around and quickly exited the room.
Shikamaru shrugged, "So Hinata are you enjoying yourself with the emo king here?"
Sasuke glared at Shikamaru, "Shut up!"
Just then Kakashi came into the room, "You must be Hinata I'm Kakashi Hatake Connect 4's manager. Here is a bag of goodies for our little contest winner." Kakashi dropped a back pack with Connect 4's picture on it. The bag felt heavy so Hinata peaked in and it was crammed with Connect 4 merchandise.
"T-Thank you." The rest of the day went fast Sasuke stood in the corner of the room playing his guitar pretending to ignore Hinata, Naruto, and Shikamaru who were all talking, laughing and having fun. Soon Hinata looked at the clock and frowned, "I have to go it's almost my curfew."
Naruto put his arm around her shoulders, "So tell us it was way better hanging out with us that moody Sasuke?"
Hinata blushed, "No comment."
Kakashi reentered the room, "Limo's downstairs get down there Sasuke."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Let's go." Hinata quickly grabbed her bag and walked after him. In the limo Hinata sat quietly starring out the window. Sasuke sighed, "Not that I care but did you have a good time?"
Hinata thought for a moment, "Surprisingly yes I did. What do you care about?"
"My music."
"What about Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji?"
"There are ok."
"There your friends, you'd be nothing without them."
"You sound just like Kakashi."
"Well we are both right, they don't deserve to be treated the way you do."
"Oh shut up."
Hinata was hurt by his words, "Y-You can't talk to me like that."
"I can talk to whomever however the way I want." The limo stopped in front of Hinata house. "Now if you're done get out."
"I feel sorry for you."
"Me?! I'm the luckiest guy on the planet, guys want to be me and girls want to be with me."
"That doesn't make you lucky."
Sasuke was getting angry, "How would some stupid girl like you know anything? Now get the hell out of my sight!"
Hinata just stared at him for a second before exiting the limo slamming the door behind her. She was never this angry in her entire life. The limo took off leaving Hinata alone, "How did I get myself into this?"
One Week Later
Connect 4 had just finished their last show on tour and were in the hotel room relaxing when Kakashi came in. "Congratulations boys on a great tour! And Sasuke get what you finally got some good press for once."
Naruto's mouth dropped, "What? That's impossible."
"Here take a look." Kakashi through a magazine at Naruto.
"You can't be serious, how did the magazine get this picture."
Kakashi smiled, "I did, it's all a part of my new plan."
Sasuke didn't like the sound of that, "What do you mean new plan?"
Kakashi took the magazine from Naruto and through it at Sasuke. Sasuke starred at the magazine cover in big letters it said, "Connect 4's lead singer connects with contest winner." And under it was a picture of Sasuke and Hinata at the piano.
Kakashi was now grinning, "Sasuke Uchiha say hello to your new girlfriend."
Ok I forgot to mention that in the last chapter the song Hinata heard in the restaurant was Just Friends by the Jonas Brothers and in this chapter the song Hinata sings is Once Upon A Time from the musical Brooklyn. And the song Sasuke sings is A little bit longer (GREAT SONG, THE ALBUM IS AMAZING) by once again the Jonas Brothers. Enjoy next chapter coming soon!
