He put his glass of wine on the glimmering floor before him and searched for the one who spoke to him, the one who broke that spell again.
He met her eyes "Hi…umm...it's been a while…how have you been?"
She looked down trying to hide her eyes from his non-sober gaze "I have been better…I-I mean, I-I am fine, y-yes fine"
He bent down to look at her, as she had turned her gaze to the floor "It makes it hard to talk to someone if they are looking at the ground, am I boring you?"
She didn't answer his question; instead a tear hit Sasuke's face. He got up a touched his face where the tear landed "What is wrong? Why? Why you...?" She just kept crying in front of him. "…oh I see…" Without really think he reached for her and pulled her towards him, she did not resist, she openly slid into his arms "The moon is not much of a friend tonight is she?" he asked her looking up at the bright shining moon.
"N-no…it's as though s-she is h-happy for them a-and completely ignoring m-me…" she stuttered as she sobbed onto his Hakama "ignoring our pain…we are totally invisible to her" Sasuke finishing her sentence as she could not. Her sobs became slower, she was calming down "O-our pain?" she asked lifting her head from his chest and gazing at him.
"It hurts me too…to see them so happy…to see her happy with him…how times have changed" he answered her question shifting his gaze from the moon to her face. Her eyes were in more pain than the night he met her at Sai's party. "Well atleast we can suffer together hey" he said to her, hoping to make her seem happier
"t-together…" she softly repeated resting her head upon his chest listening to his heart beat.

"Well it seems as though it has found him" Sai answered Tsunade looking closely at Sasuke
"Sai? What do you mean?" Ino asked Sai
"Look closely, he's talking to someone, Ino? Which one of the females is missing in here?" Sai asked Ino
Ino scanned the room carefully "Who?…come on, I hate guessing games"
"The one who is most quiet and often never seen" Sai continued giving Ino a clue as who it was
A large vein was pulsing atop of Ino's temple "Damn it…Sai…"
"Hinata" Temari said stopping Ino from losing her temper "She was pretending today, did you notice? This wedding was killing her and its killing her even more now that its official"
Hinata became more visual to the group that was standing discussing the lone wolves (Sasuke and Hinata)
"Look at her…she can't help but cry…it must be hard" Temari continued
"But maybe it might get better with Sasuke there and all, maybe she can loosen up and act human for once and put a smile on her face" Shikamaru added
Finally realizing the situation Ino said "Oh I see…but will she let him in? I mean after…."
"DO NOT EVEN THINK OF FINISHING THAT SENTENCE INO!" Neji quickly interrupted Ino
Ino dropped her head "Sorry Neji…I"
Neji glared at Ino "WELL DON'T! DO NOT MOCK THE HYUUGA NAME!"
Tenten touched Neji's cheek calming him down "Relax Neji, It's okay. It won't happen again"
'I know but that is not what is bothering me' Neji thought to himself 'again…again...he looks so vulnerable to Hinata-sama…but there is something…NO!…is he? Is he looking for comfort from…?'
"Enough everyone…look at us, starting an argument and judging people at a wedding, its pitiful really" Gaara spoke turning away from the view of Sasuke and Hinata and grabbing Lee's hand indicating from them to move away and for everyone else to do the same "Lets go Lee, you owe me a dance".
"Right, how could I forget about that? Maybe after we could" Lee said
Everyone, in unison said "DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE LEE!
"Yuck, how rude" Tenten said pulling a face
Everyone laughed and carried on with what they were doing before.

"Sakura? Lets make babies, right here and now" Naruto smirked at Sakura almost enticing her
"Naruto…my love we can't…not here...can we wait till we go on honeymoon? Its just 15 minutes away" she told her husband as they danced
Naruto looked at his wife with complete confusion "We? What do you mean, we?"
She smirked even more now moving her face closer towards his right ear "I mean you and that friend of yours down there, he looks pretty excited" she rubbed up against Naruto's friend in between his legs, who was beginning to get even more wild as Sakura's leg kept rubbing against him
Naruto squirmed "whoa…hold on there, I may just rip this dress off you right now and fulfil his urge in front of everyone"
She giggle and removed her leg from in between his and giggled "That's why I married you…you are so full of passion that just makes me want to give my all to you"

'romantic music began to play'
He stepped to the left then stepped to the right and before he knew it he was dancing with her in his arms and to his surprise she was moving too as he moved. 'What am I doing?' Sasuke asked himself, he felt her move her feet 'What? She's moving with me, I don't think she realises it, well I am gonna enjoy his moment…yes…she is so warm…so warm' He drifted into the dance under the moonlight, into the song under the moonlight but mostly in her, under the moonlight. They danced in warm silence.
'How could he get married to her? Why?' Hinata asked herself as she moved along to the music with Sasuke 'Why am I dancing with Sasuke? But he is so warm…he is so'
As she began to forget about the wedding, she slid her hands higher upon Sasuke's back, she smiled but before she could enjoy it any further she remembered, she began to remember that night, that horrible night. She broke from Sasuke's warmth and dropped her head hiding her face from Sasuke's view; "I-I am s-sorry but I-I c-can't…I can't" she said to him beginning to sob
Sasuke stood there as she broke away from him Sasuke wanted to forcefully grab her, pull her towards him, to keep the warmth with him; "Hinata? What's wrong? Have I said something wrong?"
She just kept quiet trying hard to keep that memory from returning, but it just replayed and Sasuke's voice became a whisper. She began to softly shiver.

"Alright ladies its about that time, Sakura are you ready?" Ino spoke to all the ladies as they all gathered round, waiting to catch the bouquet.
Sakura nodded at Ino, turned her back and threw the bouquet of pink Cherry blossoms. However, Sakura threw it too far and it landed right in Hinata's hands.
"Nice catch Hinata!" Ino and Sakura shouted in unison.
--
Sasuke reached again for Hinata to take his hand but a pink blur flew across his face and landed in Hinata's hands.
"Wow…nice catch, things might change for you after all…that's great don't you think?" Sasuke said smiling at Hinata, he cursed at the bouquet of pinkness for ruining his chance at getting the warmth back.
Everyone screamed for Hinata's luck but she still didn't look up at anyone.
Sasuke looked at her waiting for her to lift her face to look up.
"Hinata! Hinata-sama" a familiar voice tapped at the back of Hinata's mind, she quickly realised it was her cousin indicating to her that the party was over and that they had to go.
"Oh okay, g-goodbye Sasuke-kun" Hinata to Sasuke without lifting her face from the position it was
Sasuke watched her walk towards Neji "O-okay then, bye Hinata"
The urge came back the second she left and Sasuke picked up his glass and drunk the rest of the wine as everyone cleared the room to say goodbye to the newlyweds.
He looked up at the moon 'why did she pull off of me…she was shaking…why was she shaking? Why do I care?' he thought to himself and also wondered about why he felt so worried. He shook his head and cared on drinking. He was once again caught in that spell. However his mind could not stray from her, why she was in so much pain, more so than him.
