"Excuse me, but can we not have a soap opera scene reenacted in front of my class now? I'm late for class as it is you know." A male voice told them not unkindly. In fact, he sounded really amused. Hinata was the first to notice and tried to wriggle out of Sasuke's tight hug. "Um Sasuke-san…" Sasuke looked up at her. "Hm?" Hinata nervously cleared her throat. "Um w-well sensei- san needs to get to the classroom and we're k-kinda blocking the door." Sasuke immediately turned bright red and regained his composure. "O-ohayo gozaimasu Kakashi-sensei." He gave a stiff bow and proceeded to enter the classroom. On his way in Kakashi-sensei winked and through his mask she thought she could see him smile. "Nice to see you smiling again Hyuuga- san." Hinata jumped a bit and thought about her entire soap opera journey so far while Kakashi-sensei introduced her to the class inside.

"Well Hinata-san, due to the recently devastating events and the fact that it is currently unsafe where we are now, I have to send you back to Fire country, where you need to finish your studies." Hyuuga Hiashi told her sadly. Hinata was quite disappointed at the news but wanted to prove to her father that she was taking his death just fine.

"Hai Oto-san, so you will wrap up your work here I understand?" She told him. "Yes, and after you finish your studies we will decide how you balance your careers, but for the mean time, I want no large public performances, we have Pein- san on the job with his team, but they can't be everywhere at once, this is for your own safety, understand my child?" He looked genuinely worried at the thought of sending his daughter and heiress to a different country for her own safety. Her younger sister would be fine, she took after him, but Hinata was the last thing he had left to remind her of his dearly departed wife. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "And don't worry; you will be going to Konoha University, Neji-san's school, I trust you will be fine with him there."

He smiled at her and his daughter couldn't help but feel that even though it would hurt going back there for a while without her father, whom she cried on when that horrible incident happened, everything would be alright. She had a good feeling about going back to her hometown. In fact she was already looking forward to seeing a certain Uchiha. Don't think like that Hinata she told herself, he's happy without you, he's been living that way for such a long time now. It's not like things will change just because you came back.

Things were even weirder when they got to Konoha U. First of all, she found out that Neji-niisan was already there and waiting for her. Also, even in disguise, lots of people were staring at them as they made their way to the principal's office. "You need better hiding skills Hinata-sama." Neji told her when they first got there. "Nii-san! I told you not to call me Hinata-sama." She said to change the topic. She hit him playfully on the shoulder. Neji was one year her senior and was always there for her, heck, he flew halfway around the world when she suffered from the suicide of—"Whoa!"

She had just bumped into Neji as he opened the door to the office. She tiptoed and peeked over his shoulder which was really difficult because he was almost a head taller than she was. What she saw made her giggle. Their principal, Tsunade-sama was totally drunk, and still wanting to drink, as there were open bottles on her table. She was leaning back on her chair and was sound asleep, man was that hangover gonna hurt.

Suddenly, a short girl with the cutest piggy came and greeted them. "Ohayo, you must be the new arrivals, I apologize for well, all this." She said as she swept a hand, gesturing to the mess of the office. "I'm Shizune-san, the Tsunade-sama's secretary. Nice to meet you." She gave a bow and likewise they introduced themselves. "Hinata, nice too meet you." Hinata told her as she was given some pieces of paper. "Well here is your schedule Hinata-san and the music building is that one. Yes, the one at the edge of campus." Shizune said. As they were about to leave: "Nice to have you here Hyuuga-sama." They stopped short as a voice addressed her with a title too high for an average student. "J-Jiraya-san," Shizune stammered. "What are you implying? You know that we are all too aware of your habits here right? If you want to leave this office with all your bones intact, you had better stay away from our new student." She folded her arms over her chest. "You know I would never do anything to hurt a student here." Jiraya told Shizune in was that a flirty tone? Shizune took a disgusted step back and knocked over a sake bottle on Tsunade's desk. The racket seemed to have woken the principal. "M-mwat ish goin awn here? (What is going on here?)" She snapped awake at once, man she got over hangovers quickly. She regained her composure and greeted the cousins immediately. "Ohayo, Hinata-sama, Neji-sama, Hyuuga-sama informed me of your arrival earlier, but I didn't expect you so soon." She said formally. Neji's eyes widened as she went to shake his hand, Hinata could guess why and hardly stopped herself from bursting with laughter. In the end she gave a constricted choke, earning a disapproving look from Neji.

"H-Hyuuga," Shizune stumbled. "She's the celebrity we've been expecting?" She almost fainted, until she realized Jiraya was the one who wanted to catch her. She gave a small cough and bowed, Jiraya did likewise. "Stay away from Jiraya if you want to keep your sanity, and something more important." Tsunade whispered to Hinata seriously. Hinata gave a startled jump and replied to her principal. "H-Hai, Tsunade-sama." Tsunade stood up and straightened her all too fitting blouse, earning a faint gulp from Neji and a nosebleed from Jiraya, who was quickly hit in the head by Shizune.

"That was very disturbing." Neji told her on the way out. "I didn't know the board of educators let in violent secretaries, perverted vice principals and alcoholic, full principals." He said, his eye starting to twitch. "Oh come on Neji-niisan, her chest wasn't that big." Hinata pushed him jokingly. Neji turned pale and she laughed, she wasn't looking anywhere, except at her cousin's appalled face and jolted back as she made contact with something solid. "G-Gomenasai," She said shakily. That person didn't seem to mind, but he gave a startled jump at seeing her face. He looked just like Sasu—no, it couldn't have been him. Neji was giving him a death glare, so she had to think about it later. "Are you alright Hinata-san?" He stopped glaring for a moment and she decided to stall him. "Yes of course, and look at that!" She said pointing to absolutely nothing and dragging Neji along with her through the marble halls towards the music building.

Hinata breathed a heavy sigh. She was finally able to shake Neji off and found her classroom at the same time. "I wonder who our sensei will be." She thought aloud. "And I wonder who are gonna be my classmates this term." She was about to cross the hall when she heard noises on the other side.

"Ow Sasuke-kun that hurt!" A female voice she could recognize said clearly, piercing her ears. She was about to go around, thinking this was a simple dating skirmish that was common every now and then until a gruff male voice replied to her. "Listen Sakura," He growled at her. Hinata gave a gasp. So I was right, this is Haruno Sakura, the one who sang during my concert a few months ago! The one allegedly named 'Sasuke-kun' muttered something she couldn't hear and there was a moment of cold silence. I wonder who had the guts to stand up to someone like Haruno-san. Then the next thing she heard was Sakura's voice. "Sasuke- san," She heard Sakura say as coldly as the marble underneath her feet. "I will tell you I did not do this for you," She said quietly. "This was for my family, but just so you know, in order not to shame yours I stuck with it." There was a sound as if something was grabbed back. "Because you didn't have the guts to stand up to your mother I had to live with it, but recently, I've had a lot of offers for jobs abroad, I don't need you understand." Then just as Hinata gathered up the courage to walk into the hall she saw Sakura turn around and smile at the guy she was fighting with, his back was to her, but she knew exactly who he was, she'd never forget that chicken-styled hair that was always part of her fantasies. "Thank you for setting me free, Sasuke-san." So it is him! She told herself. Sakura walked towards the classroom leaving one shocked Sasuke behind.

Hinata just had to break the silence because he was blocking the door and she really felt light in the head after seeing him again, she needed to sit down. She opened her mouth and said the first thing that popped into her mind. "I hope it all goes well for her, she has real talent, a great voice." Sasuke jumped a little and turned around to face her. His eyes widened as he saw her, he looked like he was at a loss for words, and desperately looking for some to say at that but he managed to stumble over one word. "H-Hi- Hinata?" She looked at him with all the warmth that she'd been longing to show him for so long. "I thought I was the one who stuttered Sasuke-san."

She didn't really know what was going to happen next because she only expected him to forget about her after all this time. Instead, he looked like he was going to cry, (what, Sasuke cry?!) and the next thing she knew, he pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. "It's so nice to see you too, Sasuke-san." She said, hugging him back.

And that was when Kakashi-sensei came.

She never saw it coming. After his death, the only people she could talk to were: her father, Neji-niisan, Iruka-sensei—his teacher—and of course the only other person who could possibly understand what loss was, Iruka's best friend and her teacher, Kakashi-sensei.

It was also his voice that brought her back to her the real world now. She could hear him through the door. "It is a great pleasure for me to introduce a former student of mine to this class, and despite me being late because of meeting her—." There was a feeling of eyes being rolled. "I am pleased to introduce your new classmate Hyuuga Hinata-san." There was the sound of chairs scraping floor as many students got up from their seats to get a better view of the star that was about to enter. Hinata took a deep, very deep breath, so deep that she was going to suffocate and gripped her violin case so tight her knuckles turned white. She took what seemed like her first step after keeping still for an eternity—it wasn't that long, Kakashi made things brief, but apparently the events of today played in her mind at super-speed—and made her way to the door of her new beginning, not with him. She opened the door and knew that behind its foreboding surface, lay her destiny.

That was chapter three, and there's more to come for our lovers yet.
