Hinata rose an eyebrow at her mother. Besides the fact that she was shocked beyond anything else her mother was dead, in her dreams, and could tell the future? What kind of fucked up alternative reality had she wound up in? Himimore looked at Hinata's expression and couldn't help but silently giggle. She and her daughter were so much a like and she could only guess what she was thinking. Himimore had watched her daughter for a long time at that and it was easier to guess from all she knew.
"You can see into the future?" She asked her mother. She was having doubts as to whether or not this was really her mother. Laughing her mother shook her head at Hinata.
"Not like you are thinking no. I'm just here to let you know a few things. You will find the man you're looking for. Though he might not seem right at first he is. A second thing listen to what your father has to say believe in yourself trust me it will do great things." Himimore told her daughter. Hinata shook her head confused.
"How do you know this Okasan?" Hinata asked her looking up at her mother with wide eyes. Himimore couldn't resist herself and she reached a hand out to stroke her daughters' hair. Both of the women were comforted by the contact.
"It's not a question of how I know it Hina-Hime but a question of if you're going to make it come true. Your decisions will affect it of course and there is a good possibility that everything you do will change it. For now though it is the same." Himimore told her daughter. She wasn't supposed to tell her too much. In all honestly she wasn't supposed to be here right now, but because the Kami Inari was so bad a poker, Himimore smirked a little, she got to do this.
"Oka-san…. I've missed you so much." Hinata said suddenly embracing her mother in a tight hug. Himimore felt a tug on her soul and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hina-hime I have missed you to but I have to go now." Himimore said. Hinata held on to her tighter.
"Don't go Oka-san! Please stay here with me." Hinata begged the woman. With great difficulty Himimore pulled Hinata away from her. Looking in her daughter's tearful eyes she said.
"Do not forget what I have told you today Hinata-chan." Placing a kiss to her forehead Himimore smiled before she disappeared. Hinata wanted to stay there forever remembering her mother's embrace but she soon awakened tears running down her face. Sitting up in the darkness she looked around just in case. Sighing she threw herself back on her bed. Of course her mother wasn't here. She had been dreaming after all. Wiping away her tears Hinata curled up in her blankets to go back to bed.
Sasuke looked up at the clock for the 8th time in the last 3 minutes. It was now 6:15 and she was late. She would run 15 extra laps for that. He didn't care how much she complained. Sasuke was just telling himself this though. He knew that Hinata wasn't late and that if she was and he made her run those extra laps she wouldn't complain. Not Hinata. Sighing Sasuke stood up to get dressed. He had been awake sense 5 a.m. waiting for that moment when the clock struck 6 to see if Hinata would come. Now he wondered what he was going to eat for breakfast. It started to drizzle lightly outside and Sasuke growled. The world was silently cursing Sasuke today for his stupidness yesterday.
Hinata was on her way to Sasuke's her mind briefly thinking of the dream she had, had last night. She didn't even notice when it started to rain lightly. She had a single bento in her hand. Dropping it off on Sasuke's door step she walked away nonchalantly. Sasuke could feel how ever he wanted to; she just wasn't going to let the boy starve. For lunch and supper he could figure something out and she knew he would.
Hinata played with her fingers out of boredom as she headed over to Ino's. She needed to spend some time with her best friend for awhile. Knocking on Ino's door Hinata was shocked to have Naruto open the door shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist. Hinata's eyes widened in shock as did Naruto's. She was the last person he had expected to see there even though she was Ino's best friend. Seeing her he kind of wanted to cover up. Hinata just didn't seem like the type to be half naked around… Hinata's face turned red and she looked down.
"Naruto-kun? What are you doing here?" Hinata asked the most basic answer not coming to her head.
"Hinata-chan, Ino is my girlfriend don't I have a right to be here?" Naruto asked a little confused. All the anger that he had held for her had vanished suddenly. He didn't even remember why he had been mad at her. Hinata stuttered a little searching for an answer before hearing Ino smack Naruto upside the head.
"Leave her alone Naruto or you'll find that right revoked before the days out." Ino warned him. Naruto ducked his head throwing his hands in retreat. This caused his towel to fall. Hinata's face turned even redder if possible and she quickly looked away. Ignoring the fact that Naruto was naked and Ino was yelling at him to get dress Hinata pretended that her nails were the most interesting thing in the world. Ino turned back to Hinata after Naruto had escaped to Ino's room.
"Sorry about that Hinata-chan he is a little dense sometimes." She said seeing the girl blushing. Hinata nodded not wanting to think about it. She had seen male parts before but never outside a professional view.
"It's fine Ino-chan. I was actually wondering if you wanted to do something together today. Have a girl's day out." Hinata asked her. Ino's whole face lit up and Hinata suddenly felt oncoming doom.
"That would be great Hinata-chan! I've been meaning to get out lately. We'll get Ten-Ten-chan and then we'll be off." Ino said slipping her sandals on and tugging Hinata off who was now slightly afraid. Ino and Ten-Ten in control on a day off. Someone was either going to end up in a coma or severely hurt. When those two girls got going together Hinata in the middle it took a hurricane to stop them. Usually they ended up with bags of clothes. Hinata groaned mentally as they neared Ten-Ten's house. Ino's look of pure EVIL had increased and the feeling of doom had tripled.
"TEN-TEN-CHAN!" Ino yelled banging on the girls door. "Wake up! Hinata wants to spend the entire day together. Just us girls!!" Hinata had heard Ten-ten mumbling and rustling around but with Ino's last statement all noise had stopped. 'Am I hallucinating or did Ino's voice sound like it was hinting at something…I really hope that Ten-Ten hasn't died in there as well.' Hinata thought to herself swallowing hard. In a flash Ten-Ten was stepping out of her door a huge overly cheerful smile on her face. The doom had settled. She was most definitely in trouble.
"Good morning Hinata-chan, loud mouth, what are we doing this morning?" Ten-Ten asked sweetly making Ino grit her teeth at what she had called her. Hinata had an eerie feeling that whatever she said the two of them would 'kindly' suggest something else and they would do that no matter what.
"I don't know Ten-Ten. Ino-chan what is it that we are going to do today?" Hinata asked in a wary voice as they walked back into town.
"Oh….nothing really… I just thought we might pick up a few things." Ino said sharing a look with Ten-Ten who obviously understood and she beamed back.
"Oh..Oh yes I like that Idea very much." Ten-Ten said making Hinata sigh even more. The two of them were plotting something that was obvious. She just had to figure out what it was.
"Olay guys we are going shopping that much is clear but let me make something straight. If you try to buy me underwear I'm leaving." Hinata told them trying to make the two of them happy. She didn't hate shopping that much just a lot. Ten-Ten and Ino both squealed hugging her. They loved to buy and dress up Hinata. She was like a little doll to them on these days. She was always so pretty and at this moment she needed a Kimono for Saturday.
As they entered a local and expensive dress and clothing shop Ino walked off to talk to a lady at the counter Hinata watched her for a moment before she started to walk over to them not liking the way the sales lady was eyeing her. She knew that the two of them were talking about her. Ten-Ten though who was in on it drug her away claiming she need Hinata's opinion on some training outfits. They were a lot like Hinata's spandex ones except different material and colors. Just thinking about them made her think of Sasuke. 'He was such and ass! Being a jerk like that to Neji-nii what gave him the right?'
"Hinata-chan what do you think of this one?" Ten-Ten asked seeing her friend take on a dazed and angry look. She held up a pair of pants that were bright pink with yellow stripes down the side for Hinata to see. Hinata scrunched up her nose at them and Ten-Ten laughed. She hadn't wanted to buy them just wanted to distract Hinata.
Soon Ino had bounced back over to them looking very syrupy sweet. Ten-Ten had bought a couple of training shirts in various blue colors and Hinata had almost got a jacket like her other one before Ten-Ten stopped her. Ino nodded at Ten-Ten who grinned. Hinata narrowed her eyes at the two of them. They might be the ones in comas by the end of the day.
As they shopped Hinata was surprised that they didn't thrust clothes upon her instead just asked her opinion and bought clothes for themselves. What Hinata didn't know was that Ino who know all her measurements had secretly bought her a Kimono for Saturday as well as new underwear. It was being delivered to her house as they shopped. Sense Ino had already paid for it she knew that Hinata wouldn't take it back and some day Hinata would thank her for it….hopefully.
Leaving the store Hinata stopped walking suddenly her hands on her hips. Ino and Ten-Ten stopped their twittered and walking to look back at her.
"Nata are you okay? You're not feeling sick or anything are you?" Ino asked using one of Hinata's multiple nicknames. Hinata glowered at the two of them. They were trying to act innocent huh. Well she wasn't going to fall for that.
"You have drug me around shopping all day and haven't tried to buy me a thing not once. What is going on here? Don't you lie to me either!" Hinata told them glaring cutely. They both laughed at her nervously. They knew Hinata was very perceptive. Looping their arms in Hinata's they began to walk again.
"You are so suspicious of us sometimes Hinata. We know you don't like being bought clothes we were just being nice." Ten-Ten told her.
"Yeah, Nata you wound me by thinking that I'd try to thrust something upon you that you don't like." Ino agreed giving Hinata a pout. Hinata sighed hanging her head. Maybe they were right or maybe they were very clever either way they hadn't actually done anything that she knew about yet.
"Sorry Ino, Ten-Ten-chan you just never know what to expect from the two of you when we shop together." Hinata told them. The girls grinned at each other behind Hinata's back. No, you didn't know what to expect. They went into a sushi shop to eat lunch then and the three girls chattered happily together. The whole shopping thing out of Hinata's mind letting her relax a bit. The day had gone fairly well so far. But a good thing never lasts.
Sasuke was walking by when he noticed them. Growling to himself he glowered seeing Hinata in there, having fun! She was in there laughing away looking cute and happy when she was supposed to be training with him and making him lunch. 'Did I just think she was cute? No it was a slip of my mind.' Sasuke told himself. He was getting off his venting track. She had made him breakfast so he knew that she didn't forget about him today.
Marching into the sushi bar Sasuke headed over to her and yanked her up roughly. His fingers wrapped around her arm tightly. He had stopped all of their talking and the talking in the bar. At that moment five people were glaring at him Ino, Ten-Ten, the cooks and a waitress. Hinata was the only one who was shocked.
"Let. Her. Go." Ino said through clenched teeth as Sasuke began to pull her away. His grip only tightened on her arm.
"You were supposed to meet me over 5 hours ago." Sasuke whispered menacingly to Hinata ignoring Ino and Ten-Ten who was now twirling a kunai in her fingers glaring at Sasuke.
"Really was I? I thought you didn't get it the first time when I slapped your ass that those would be canceled." Hinata told him as Sasuke's grip tightened making her wince slightly. Ino growled then standing up.
"Don't you want to become a jounin Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked. He was training her to do that. It would seem through her anger she had forgotten that. A look crossed Hinata's face and she looked away.
"Yes I do." She muttered making Sasuke's ego purr.
"Then why wouldn't you show up. Controlling emotions is something that jounin should show and moving past things as well." Sasuke added. Hinata glared at him then and was about to say something when Sasuke suddenly let go of Hinata and stepped back. Hinata was shocked but then she saw Ino was out cold and she nodded understanding what had happened. She rubbed her arm a little and Ino was forced out of Sasuke's body and into her own.
"Never do that to me again Yamanaka! It will be the last thing that you do I promise." Sasuke growled at her as Ino picked herself up off the floor.
"Control your emotions Uchiha." Ten-Ten said coldly standing up and wrapping an arm around Hinata. "Isn't that what you were teaching her?" She asked. Sasuke glared at them all.
"Tomorrow. Six o'clock don't be late." He told Hinata glaring at her before turning away. Hinata watched him leave before smiling at Ino and Ten-Ten.
"Thank you for that." She told them. They nodded before pushing her into the booth and sitting down beside her.
"Explain. Now." Ino ordered. Hinata sighed hanging her head slightly.
"It all goes back to when Sasuke found me." Hinata said. She would stick to her lie so Tsunade wouldn't know that she had lied. The two girls sat there as Hinata told them the entire story from when Sasuke 'saved' her up until yesterday. She left out her dream not thinking that the two of them really needed to know about that. As she finished the two of them just stared at her. It took a minute but Ino finally spoke.
"He saved you and gave you a house key? Wow that's just shocking." She said while Ten-Ten nodded in agreement. Hinata laughed a little at the two of them. What Ten-Ten said next made Hinata pale though.
"Wait a minute you said you had to strip him down to clean his wounds right?" Hinata nodded confused as to where she was going with this. Ten-Ten shared a smile with Ino. "That means you have seen him naked then haven't you Hinata-chan?" Why did she have to go there? People were already listening and once Sasuke's fan girls found out…Hinata would be running forever. Hinata gulped a little feeling a lot of girl's eyes on her.
"Yes. I have." Hinata finally said finding her voice. Ten-Ten's evil grin widened and Ino was looking positively 'sweet' as well.
"So tell me Hinata-chan." Ten-Ten said drawing her name out with sugary sweetness. "Is it true what they say about him down there I mean." She asked the girl who blushed and looked down at her hands. She didn't want to answer this question! Then she would seem like a pervert for looking! Hinata Hyuuga was no pervert.
The whole Sushi bar had gone quiet then. People were no longer pretending that they weren't listen instead they looked at the girl's intensely waiting for Hinata's answer. Hinata looked around nervously seeing everyone staring at her. Licking her lips a little Hinata gulped. What was she supposed to say? That he was fucking huge! That all of the rumors were true? That he was tiny and all the rumors were a lie? She couldn't blow up Sasuke's ego but she couldn't just tear it down.
"I actually closed my eyes when it got to that part of him." Hinata said uncomfortably. She heard a lot of disappointed noises. The girls wanted to know if Sasuke was like they dreamed and all the guys wanted to know if they were bigger than he was. Ino and Ten-Ten though looked at Hinata suspiciously. They would let this go for now but sooner or later they would pull it out of the girl. Maybe when they were alone instead of in a crowded Sushi bar.
"Alright Hinata-chan. What do you want to do now?" Ino asked. Ten-Ten had crossed her arms and was just watching her. She still wanted to know. Ino was letting it go a lot sooner than she wanted but at the moment there was a foot in hers so she was silent.
"I actually kind of want to go home. Today has been a busy day I want to take a little nap. How about you two come by for dinner though I will fix something special." She suggested. Ino and Ten-Ten looked at each other. They didn't know how Hinata would react to the dress but they couldn't pass up her home cooking. It was just to tempting. They nodded after a moment. Hinata smiled and stood up. As she turned to leave Ten-Ten stood up as well.
"Ten-Ten?" Ino asked as Hinata turned around to look at her friend. Ten-Ten bit on her bottom lip for a moment before asking.
"Will you tell us later then what we want to know I mean?" Hinata looked at her. It was obvious that she really wanted to know. Hinata gave her a subtle nod and Ten-Ten smiled. "Arigato Hinata."
Sasuke pounded into the pour defenseless tree in front of him. They had made him feel stupid and he did not like that feeling at all.
'Stupid girls always thinking they are better than everyone else.
Not Hinata. Sasuke's evil voice sounded in his head and he growled hitting the tree harder.
Hinata is never like that and you know it.
So what she was the one who ignored our agreement. I wanted that food.
Did you want the food or her company?' Sasuke yelled out smacking the tree making it crack in half. Why was his own head arguing with him?!?! If no one else was on his side he was supposed to be! Sitting down against the base of the tree Sasuke glared at nothing.
"Wow looks like someone has had a bad day today." A voice called. Looking up Sasuke wasn't surprised to see Naruto standing there.
"What do you want dobe?" Sasuke asked in a cold voice that Naruto was used to by now. Shrugging Naruto looked down at him.
"Heard the commotion and wanted to come see why it was that you were killing the defenseless trees out here. What did they do to you? Weren't they emo enough?" Naruto asked. Sasuke glared harder at him.
"Are you calling me emo or the trees?" Sasuke asked a dangerous edge to his voice.
"Oh so the great Uchiha Sasuke doesn't know something eh? Well I was calling you emo the tree's seem to be quite happy unlike you. That is except for the one you killed." Naruto commented ignoring Sasuke's growl.
"I am not fucking emo." Sasuke said standing up his fists clenched. "And the tree deserved it." Sasuke added not knowing why he was defending himself for hitting a tree. Who cared about a tree?
"Sure it did. What did it do tell you that you were obsessing with someone?" Naruto asked not knowing the button he had just pushed.
"I am not obsessed with the Hyuuga! I don't even like her! She's ugly and stupid and weak!" Sasuke yelled out loosing his temper throwing Naruto a back slightly. He rose an eyebrow looking at Sasuke who was heaving slightly from yelling at Naruto.
"Oh yeah? Then why would you say you don't like her and that she's ugly and all when I never mentioned it. Obviously you were thinking about Hinata before I mentioned anything. I didn't even say it was Hinata." Naruto added and Sasuke stopped glaring at him.
"Go away dobe you don't know what you are talking about." Sasuke said turning his back on Naruto not wanting to hear anything else that he might say thinking that he knew more than he did.
"No Sasuke. I think that you do like Hinata and just won't admit it. That's why you've been hanging out with her a lot lately isn't it?" As Naruto talked Sasuke was telling him to shut up the entire time his voice growing in volume as Naruto kept up. "You've probably liked her sense you saved her. That's why you saved her huh? That's why you're training her. You just want to be around her that much more. I bet you will even get into her good graces so you can marry her."
"SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed throwing Naruto up against a tree his hand around the boy's neck. "You don't know what you are talking about so just shut up." Sasuke had lowered his voice now and it was deadly quiet.
"Then admit it." Naruto said narrowing his eyes at Sasuke. He could see right through the young man's façade. Naruto knew that he wasn't always the smartest or more perceptive person around but when it came to Sasuke he now understood it.
"I have nothing to admit. Remember that Naruto-baka." Sasuke said before releasing him and walking away. Naruto smirked and shook his head. Sasuke was having a hard time admitting it to himself but sooner or later he would. He would have to. It would consume him. Naruto hadn't wanted to admit that he liked Ino when he had begun to because he loved Sakura so much for so long it was hard to admit that. He was in the same position as Sasuke but Sasuke didn't love anyone. Or…had he?
Sasuke cursed Naruto as he walked home. How could the dobe say that he liked the Hyuuga! He was Sasuke Uchiha. He didn't like anyone. There wasn't room in his life for things like romance and love. Besides he was the avenger not some love sick puppy. Someday he would get a wife of good standing and marry her to revive his clan but for now he was a lone wolf. Not a love sick puppy. Hinata is of good standing. That evil voice came back. Sasuke ignored it this time and climbed on his bed. He would pass out and that would be that. He didn't want to think of Hinata again or anything that Naruto had said.
As Hinata walked into her room she was a little surprised to find a long white box on her bed. Arching an eyebrow she walked over to it and opened it slowly. Seeing off white material in front of her she furrowed her brow more. Picking it up she lifted it out of the box and gritted her teeth. Ino and Ten-Ten. The two of them were beyond dead! She smirked a little bit. No. Not dead. They would just have the best dinner of their lives. Hinata laughed quite villainously that was unlike her.
