"Hiya everyone! How'd you guys like the last chapter? Good? Bad? Alright so for some reason, my document manager/file editor thing is acting up again and it's been taking out parts of sentences. Why? I don't know. Spelling errors are entirely my fault and I'll try my best to find them. I don't really feel like finding a beta, so please bear with me.
OHMAHGAWD! So sorry for my long leave of absence. I dunno why I haven't been writing for the longest time. But, I promise, from now on, I'll be updating at least 3 times a week.

Hinatas POV
" I don't flounce. And I'm not trying to seduce you, you just so happen to be extremely attracted to me." He announced.
"We'll see about that." I smiled as we pulled into the driveway.
Sasukes POV
"Gah! Would you put some damn clothes on?!" I shouted as Hinata and I walked into the apartment to be greeted with the always pleasant image of my older brother in what seemed to be the shortest, smallest, most flimsy towel that we had. Like seriously, Itachis at least 6 foot and that towel left nothing to the imagination. Not that I wanted to imagine that. Hinata covered her all-to-red face and awkwardly walked past the kitchen where Itachi had been bent over, rummaging through our fridge. God, burn that image from my corneas.
"I didn't think you'd be home so soon." Itachi spoke as if he wasn't butt ass naked in my kitchen. He closed the fridge, holding a plum in his hand, and sat down in one of the dining room chairs. I scowled and rolled my eyes.
"Great, now I've got to clean that cushion. No one wants to sit where someone's bare nuts and whatnot have been." I groaned, walking into the kitchen for a bottle of water. Itachi quirked and eyebrow.
"I assure you, I'm clean. Why else would I be walking around in a towel?" He asked. I shook my head and sighed.
"If you can call that thing a towel. Seriously, Hinatas got underwear longer than that thing." I commented, downing half of my water. "You can put your clothes in the dresser in the spare room or keep them in your bag of you want. I'm tired and I'm going to bed. See you in the morning." I announced as I walked out of the kitchen, telling him goodnight as I did.
"It's actual morning." He chuckled, getting up from the chair.
"Okay, smartass." I smirked, closing the bedroom door behind me. The shower was running and I sighed heavily. I kinda wanted to take a shower first. Oh well, first come first serve.
"Dang it!" Came a whine from the bathroom. I raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile.
"You okay?" I called from the bedroom. A couple of seconds passed before I got an answer.
"No...I got some soap in my eyes." Hinata said almost sadly. I sighed with a smile and got up and walked into the bathroom, taking a towel from the linen closet on the way to the shower. I could have stood there for a while, watching through the glass door. Then I remembered that she got soap in her eyes. I shook my head and opened the the door, pressing the towel to her eyes in attempts to get rid of the soap. After a few seconds, she blinked several times and then smiled at me.
"Thank you." She smiled, then smirked. "You came in here to help, not ogle me." I shook my head and chuckled.
"Yeah, but I may as well sneak a peak while I'm in here." I admitted. " Don't you have to go report in to that sorority thing?" A loud sigh answered my question.
"I didn't even do the last challenge so what's the point in going if they're just going to tell me no?" She huffed childishly as she turned off the water and stepped out. I raised an eyebrow as she held her hand out for the towel that I was holding. "If you would be so kind as to give me my towel and quit gawking, that would be nice." I smirked, kissed her forehead and handed her the towel.
"How would you know that you're not going to make it just because you didn't finish the challenge?" I asked, walking out of the bathroom. Hinata turned around and pouted.
"Because they said so, that's how I know. It'd be a waste of time to go." She sighed as she got dressed.
"Still, you and Ino should go just to see who else doesn't make it." I commented as I pulled my shirt over my head. Hinata laughed softly.
"That's so mean. But it would be kind of fun I guess." She smiled.
"Then it's settled. Let me know what happens when I get off of work." I called from the bathroom, closing the shower door once I heard her say okay.
"When you get out, could you help me with this assignment?" Hinatas voice called from the bedroom.
"Yeah, sure." I answered with an unsure face. She graduated valedictorian, why would she need my help? I shrugged my shoulders and continued to bask in the hot water. Several minutes later,I exited the bathroom to find Hinata poised in the center of the bed sitting Indian style with a notebook and pencil. "How am I supposed to help you and you don't have a book?" I questioned. Hinata scoffed lightly and smiled.
"I know what I'm doing. I just need a test subject." She explained. I frowned. I don't wanna be used for an experiment like some lab rat. But if it's for Hinata, I guess I'll do it. After I pulled on a pair of sweatpants, I made my way over to the bed and sat across from Hinata. "You're not going to put a shirt on?" She asked with a small smile. I shrugged my shoulders and smirked.
"It's not like you want me too." I joked, which earned me a light punch in he chest. "Alright, alright." I said, raising my hands in surrender. "What do I need to do?"
"All I need you to do is answer this questions with a yes or a no. What I am supposed to do is try to see which ones you're lying about. Feel free to lie sporadically so that there is some type of variation and so that it's challenging for me." She stated in a professional voice.
I like this assignment.
"Alright, go ahead." I smirked, staring right into those big lavender eyes.
Hinatas POV
I nodded and handed my clipboard to him.
"Sign here, here, initial here and date here." I called off as I waited for him to jot down the information. "First question." I started in a professional tone. "What is your full name?"
"Sasuke Lee Uchiha." He answered with a straight face, as if his middle name wasn't hilarious. I nodded and looked down for a second, silencing my own laughter as I wrote the word "Truth." by the first question.
"Age?" I asked, intently watching his face.
"20." He answered with yet another straight face. I knew he was lying but I couldn't seem to find any indication that would have led me to believe he was lying. I closed my eyes and in that moment I realized that he had flared his nostrils when he answered. Got him. I nodded and wrote "Lie." by the second question.
"When you were a child, did you have a favorite possession? If so, what was it?" I asked, staring at his nose to test my hypothesis.
"A dark green blanket given to be by my grandfather." His nose flared again. I nodded and read the next question aloud.
"Favorite color?"
"Lavender."
"Greatest fear?"
"Heights." His nostrils betrayed him.
"Favorite food?"
"Snap peas." He lied as I watched his nose flare again. He's so childish.
"Greatest achievement?"
"Earning the love of my girlfriend." He answered with a calm, relaxed face. He's such a sap deep down inside. I smiled and scribbled next to the question.
"And your girlfriends name is?" With a bored, straight, stoic face, he answered:
"Ino Yamanaka." That calm face lasted for about enough time as it takes for ones nostrils to widen and the two of us burst into uncontrollable laughter. After about a minute or two, we were reduced to nothing but small chuckles and light giggles, to which I contributed. Sasuke scooted next to me and made a not so sly attempt to look at my paper, which I pulled from his line of vision.
"You lied a total of five times." I told him as we burrowed into the blankets. "You are not 20 years old, your favorite possession was not a dark green blanket, your greatest fear is not heights, you hate snap peas." I stated with a smile. "And Ino is not your girlfriend. Although with tanned skin and hair like this I think I could pass for her." I laughed. Sasuke looked at me with an impressed expression.
"How'd you know?" He asked, genuinely curious. I patted his cheek.
"If I told you, then you'd try to fix it the next time you get questioned." I explained, reaching over to place my finished work on the nightstand. Sasuke hummed in reply and pulled me flush against his bare chest after he turned off the bedside lamp.
"Before I turned off the lamp, I could see your real hair color coming back." He said quietly as I entwined our legs.
" I saw yours when you came out of the shower." I told him as he pulled up the blankets.
"Good. Because this color is getting on my nerves." Sasuke mumbled. A few minutes after we had fallen asleep, there was a knock at the door. "Mmhhh?" Sasuke answered with a sleep heavy grumble.
"Sorry to wake you but...One of you has to drive me to work in the morning." Itachi said quietly with a hint of shame and embarrassment.
"I think the building is on the way to school. We can just drop you off." I muttered, burying my face in Sasukes chest. I heard Sasuke mumble something about annoying brothers and being tired.
"Alright. Sleep well." Itachi returned as he closed the door.
"As much as I love you, you're gonna have to let me go. Your holding onto me with enough force to crack someone's back." Sasuke chuckled sleepily. I smiled and rolled over to lay on top of him.
"Good morning to you too." I greeted with a small kiss. Sasuke sniffed the air lightly.
"Is he cooking?" He asked, looking at the bedroom door.
"I think so. Do you want to go find out?" I asked, poking at Sasukes returning dark roots with a smile. He shook his head slowly and sat up with me in his lap.
"Not really. I could stand to spend a little more time in bed." He smiled as he kissed me. Not two seconds into the kiss did Itachi open the door.
"You going to be late for school if you don't get up now." He said firmly. "Stop being hormonal teenagers and get out of bed." He then close the bedroom door, leaving Sasuke and I to stare at each other.
"He may as well get out of bed now that he knows we're awake." I smiled as I got up out of his lap and walked into the out of the room
After the three of us are breakfast, we all got ready to go and headed to the car.
"Is there anyway you go back to your house and get your car?" Sasuke as backed out of the driveway made his way towards the school.
"Most likely not. Ririko is probably mad at me still." Itachi said as he looked out of the window with a sullen expression.
"But you won't know until you try." I told him as I patted his shoulder from the backseat.
"I'll stop by after work." He said monotonously as we pulled up to the front of the Uchiha company building.
"Just call me when you're about to get off." Sasuke said as Itachi got out of the front seat, which I sat in later.
"He seems so heartbroken." I said quietly as I watched Sasukes brother slowly walk into the building with his head held high.
"He is. But he's too stubborn to make up with his wife." Sasuke relied as he began to drive towards the school.
"I hope they make up soon." I said somewhat sadly.
"Yeah, me too." Sasuke returned as he pulled into the parking lot and turned the car off. "Do I have to go to class today?" He sulked. I smiled and nodded.
"If you want to get your education, you do." I urged as we got out.
"Ugh. I don't even want it that bad." He joked with a sly smirk. I rolled my eyes and took his hand as we walked up to the school. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I slowly made a move to check it and saw that Ino had texted me asking me to meet her at the sorority house.
"I've got to go meet up with Ino." I explained as I kissed his cheek. "I'll see you at home.
"Alright. Good luck." Sasuke smirked as he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the building.
"You will be assessed separately and when you are finished, if you passed, you will return to his room with the other sorority sisters who passed. That being said, the five of you will now be assessed be a senior member. "Hinata, come along." Nemui beckoned as I was led I to a small room. "Present your evidence." She stated as we sat down in the provides chairs. I looked down at my hands and sighed. I worked so hard for this.
"I-I...I didn't do this challenge. That counts as cheating on my boyfriend and I'm not able to do that. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way." I explained as I stood up and prepared to leave.
"You pass." Nemui called just before I walked out.
"Say again?" I asked as I turned around.
"Take a seat, Hinata." She said. And I did. "Loyalty is something that is hard to come by and I have a deep respect for you now. Most girls would have cheated on their man just to get in and that goes against Gamma Phi Betas code of honor. Welcome to our sorority." She smiled. "Go out into the room and awaits the other members." I nodded with a face splitting grin. In the center of the room was Sumi and a girl named Aiko. Where was Ino?
"Are you serious?! Yes!" Came Ino's excited voice as she nearly sprinted into the room and stood beside me.
"Congratulations ladies. You are the creme de la creme. The best of the best. Welcome, new sisters of Gamma Phi Beta." Katsuki and Nemui said in unison. "You will be given Gamma Phi Beta necklaces and bracelets. Cherish them. Dismissed."
"We did it! Yes! I'm so happy!" Ino beamed as we put on the jewelry that we were given. "We should go out and celebrate tonight."
"I like that idea." I smiled as I admired the necklace pendant.
