Italics would means situations happen in the future.
It's been weeks since Hinata has spoken to Sasuke. Not a letter, a phone call. Not even an email. She was worried. She really was. What has she done to him that she has been treated with sudden coldness. From what she knew, her and Sasuke had been left on good terms. Yeah, she did have to do the walk of shame out of his house when Sasuke had left her (thank god only the maids and servants seen her) and he has been expelled from Konohagakure High. But to suddenly disappear? This was unlike Sasuke.
As for Sasuke. He had left Konohagakure as soon as he left the school. He had grabbed his personally belongings from his own locker, then made his way to his own home to do the same. He left a great deal of things behind, but only items that he could buy again with money he inherit from his father when he turned of age and saved money he already had.
When Sasuke decided to leave the village, he had not talked to anyone but a few members of he servants he grew around (and even they did not know where the Uchiha left to). He had not spoken to his father or Itachi, but they had been blowing up the young boys phone with phone calls, messages and emails demanding to know where the young man had left to.
Tsunade herself had kept quiet about the situation and refused to tell anyone of Sasuke's whereabouts due to confidentiality. He had started Okogakure University the next day and had been settle for 3 weeks now. He often kept to himself in the small estate he had bought for cheap. (Another reason why Otogakure was a decent village to live in).
However, Sasuke wondered how his home back at Konoha had seemed when he left. His mothers must have been in tears, knowing her. His father had to be beyond annoyed at his youngest son and Itachi would stay monotone about the situation. But above all, he awaited Hinata's response. Sasuke made sure to leave the letter by the Hyuga's window seal; visible enough to be seen. He had let Hinata be in detail in where he would be.
'I wonder if she read it.' He thought. And he wondered what she thought of his current situation. 'Only time will tell.'
But Sasuke was only a young man of 18 years. He ha his own deepest thoughts and insecurities. He thought Hinata just crumpled up the letter he has left for her in embarrassment of the way he left Konoha. Probably disgusted and would never wish to speak or be seen with him again. That, or she has not gotten the letter and the way he truly felt would be forever gone.
Sasuke hummed. He has truly become dependent on the small heiress that whenever he found himself thinking, it was about the way her eyes show in admiration and curiosity whenever she was interest is something. Or the way her lips curved in a smile when she was content or the smell of her hair when she washed it with the pure lavender shampoo (which she grows herself in her garden).
Sasuke was in deep.
"Wait..." Ino said, her eyes wide. "Sasuke?"
Hinata nodded. She could not believe it herself.
Surrounding her in her own bedroom were the usual three girls - Tenten, Sakura and Ino.
Sakura gasped. As did Ino. "No..." said the pink haired girl.
Tenten shook her head, her brows tight in a snarl. "You can't." she said.
"I-"
"You cannot." Tenten interrupted the Hyuga. "He just wants you to lose all of your friends then he'll leave you."
Ino sighed. "I don't know. Sasuke looks as if he's changed."
Sakura nodded her head in agreement. "Besides." she said while placing her finger on her chin. "Why would Sasuke ask anyways if he did not mean it? He already left the village."
Tenten shook her head. This was the last thing she desired to hear from Sasuke and Hinata. Yes, her feelings for the Uchiha were long gone. However, she thought Hinata was too great for the Uchiha (even if she did go along with the dare and publicly embarrass him). Sasuke did not deserve her.
"What did you say, Hina?" asked Tenten.
Hinata flushed.
Ino widen her eyes.
Tenten gasped.
Sakura squealed.
"Oh my gosh!" All three said, only two of them being somewhat excited.
"That's insane." said Hoheto as he laid his head on Hinata's pillows. Hinata had been walking back and forth, trying to get this new information into her head.
A week ago while she had been pondering where Sasuke had went, she decided to open the window when she saw the tiny envelope with her name stamped on it. She recognized the handwriting from anywhere and had ripped it open in seconds. In the letter she read why Sasuke had left, where he was and that she was free to join if she wished.
"W-Why is that?" asked Hinata.
Who was she kidding. It was insane. While she had read the letter and dropped the envelope of the ground, a small silver key fell out with it. It was the key to Sasuke's estate. At the end of the letter Sasuke had wrote that if she did not wish to come, to get rid of the key.
"Because, you are basically running away with an Uchiha." Hoheto snorted. "What fairyland are you two living in."
Hinata sighed. It did feel like a fairy tale. Her and Sasuke had been enemies for years and yet, she was willing to stop what she was doing to be with him. They now how history and chemistry with one another. However, she was unsure if all of this was real. Her father would never let her leave and be with an Uchiha, not at all. But, he did not need to know...
"You're planning on leaving, aren't you?" Hoheto rolled his eyes.
Hinata nodded, still unsure.
"It's nearly December, Nata." Hoheto quipped. "He is expelled. You aren't."
"I-"
"And either way, do you think I can lie and make sure Hiashi-sama does not find out?"
It was crazy, it really was. But it was worth the shot, at least in her eyes it was.
"For the love of Kami..." Hoheto sighed. "You're serious."
Hinata stayed silent.
"Well, I cannot tell you what to do." Hoheto yawned. "But, I can say that you should talk to Sasuke as soon as possible."
Hinata groaned. "Y-You know m-my father has me on lock down."
Hoheto nodded. "True. Though, we can always go at night."
Hinata's eyes lighten up. "Really?"
"I don't see why not. Otogakure is a neighboring village. Probably take a few hours the most." Hoheto yawned again. "If you get a few things ready, you and I can go for the night and be back before morning."
Hinata felt her heart speed up. She was going to see Sasuke again.
Sasuke was never the one to heavily drink, but when he did he became shit faced. He was beyond embarrassed with himself. After his encounter with Hinata he could say that said encounter would be his last. Sasuke scoffed and took another swig of his Sake. Sighing, he shook his head. Of course, he would miss the Hyuga female but after tonight he knew he scared the poor girl off. 'And all she desired to do was see if I was alright.' thought Sasuke. 'And you fucked it up.'
Taking another swig, he gulped it down in one swig. Shaking his head, he knew that at this point, it would be better if Hinata and he as acquaintances (if they can even be that. Kami, if the girl even desired to speak with him after tonight). The terrified and shocked look on her eyes and they way she sprinted out of his home told him the truth. It told Sasuke that he had frightened the young girl to the point that she did not wish to be seen.
By the end of this year, Sasuke was planning on having a business. The Uchiha Clan did have a few businesses in Otogakure, but small ones that his father found useless to care about. Fugaku had decided to sell it for a price and get 25% of the stock. Only having 5 businesses in Otogakure, his father had no intention of keeping them. Now, Sasuke was on his way of buying it. All of it.
Being in school for business was easy enough. He grew alongside his father and brother. Sasuke knew what to say and how to say it. It all came easy for him. As the sun came down, Sasuke studied on how he would become a business owner himself. Well, that and if he would see Hinata anytime soon. But thinking about businesses made him wish Hinata was besides him even more. 'You've gotten soft.' he thought to himself. 'I know.'
Tap, tap, tap...
Sasuke hummed.
It was nearly 1 in the morning and he had no friends, even acquaintances in the village of Otogakure. He furrowed a brow and risen from his seat on the kitchen table. He strolled to his front door where three more taps sounded.
Sasuke unlocked the slide door and slide it to the side, his eyes becoming wide with shock. He could not believe his eyes.
"Hinata." He mustered out. He stood straighter. "Come in."
Sasuke slid the door wider to allow her entrance. Behind her he seen Hoheto who was leaning on a nearby tree. "I'll wait out here." he told to Hinata who nodded in response.
Hinata made her way inside Sasuke's estate and removed her jacket. She breathed into the air and grinned.
Sasuke gulped. She was wearing a tight fitted shirt. And it has been a few weeks since...
"I see you've read the letter." Sasuke spoke.
Hinata nodded. "Can I sit?" she asked softly.
"Of course." Hinata made her way to a dining room chair. While she did, she examined the place. "I-It's nice."
Sasuke managed to smirk. "Thank you."
Sasuke was dying to know her answer to his request in the letter. But on the outside, he remained cool, quiet and patient.
"I-I managed to sneak away from the clan."
Sasuke chuckled. "Hyuga Hinata sneaking away to see me?" he teased. "Never thought I'd see the day."
Hinata giggled back. "I-I wanted to see you."
Sasuke nodded. He proceeded to take a seat across from her.
"D-Do you think w-we can be together?" asked the small girl.
Sasuke gulped once more. He could feel the doubt in her words.
"Why do you ask?"
"B-Because...my family-"
"This is not about your family Hinata." Sasuke interrupted. "It's you and I."
Hinata nodded. "But-" She stopped herself.
"But?"
"Y-You being an Uchiha...I-I being a Hyuga..."
Sasuke sighed. He knew this would be the case and he did not know how to prepare for rejection. He never had to.
"I do not give a damn what our families think." Sasuke hissed. He never felt so offended by a female in his life. "As you can see I left without a second thought."
"T-Thats the thing...I-I do not know i-if I can..."
Sasuke stared at the beauty before him. The beauty that was sure going to cause him pain in the end of this night. Sasuke shook his head and began to back away from the table. This must had been what hell was like. The tearing feeling inside of him seemed to feel like his own personal hell, clawing and scratching at him from within.
"W-What if I w-wait a year or t-two-"
"A year?" Sasuke spat. "Hinata what is holding you back now?"
Hinata flinched. In all honesty, she was unsure as to why she was afraid to be with Sasuke. She did not know the Uchiha outside of Konoha. She did not know him outside of their high school. She had not been with him more than a day at a time. But to leave a village and move in with him...was that possible?
"I-I..s-school.."
"Then I'll wait until you graduate." Sasuke shrugged without a care.
"S-Sasuke-kun, I-I..."
"For Kami's sake, Hinata!" Sasuke yelled. "What do you want from me?"
"R-Reassurance..."
Sasuke tilted his head. He felt as if he was going insane. "Re...Reassurance?" he laughed. "Reassurance Hinata? What more can you ask for?"
"I-"
"I...I love you..." Sasuke felt weird saying it for a second time. "A lot...don't you, um...feel it, as well?"
Hinata nodded. "But-"
"Okay!" Sasuke interrupted. "I gave you the key to the estate. You can decorate it the way you wish. I can wait until you graduate from Konoha High. I am in college at the time being, as well." Sasuke began to ramble. "There is enough space for the both of us. You can stay, Hinata...Marry me."
'What...?'
'The...'
'Hell...?!'
Sasuke did not know what has gotten into him. One moment he is sitting with his own business paperwork, the next he is asking a Hyuga to marry him.
His life was complicated enough and now he made it worst. How did it come to this? How did he come from the most wanted Uchiha in Konoha to being stranded in Otogakure waiting for a Hyuga who he once despised come and...and...Marry Him?
Sasuke needed a drink and he needed one fast.
Hinata had awaken slowly, her body tingling. It took every muscle in her body to just sit up straight. It has been 3 months since she spoke to the Uchiha and honestly, she could not bring up anything to say to him. Everything that happened that night happened entirely too fast.
'Sasuke proposed to me...' she thought.
Hinata never ran out of somewhere so fast in her life. She left a confused Hoheto behind chasing and yelling after her. As for Sasuke, she had not given him another look before she left. Which was probably a mistake, she would not know.
But what she did know that it was Sasuke who muttered two words the frightened her to the core. Marry him? Was he serious? And if so, why escape to Otogakure to get married? Why get yourself expelled from High School and leave a village behind for marriage? Hinata barely traveled out of the village, and when she did her clan were with her. While she was with Hoheto throughout the long hours of the night traveling to see the Uchiha, she was anxiously nervous. What if he no longer desired to see her or was not there to begin with.
'That was not the case.' She thought.
No, she was proposed to. And it was not as if she did not want to be married. She always dreamed of becoming someone she adored wife. However, she would never in her wildest dreams would think that Uchiha Sasuke would be the one, the first one, to propose to her. Everything of yesterday night, or should she say earlier this morning, were like a blur to her.
"Hinata-sama." came a voice outside her bedroom.
Shaking her head, Hinata blinked. "Yes?" she called.
"You have company."
Hinata furrowed her brows. Who could be her company.
As the door slid open, Hinata sighed in relief.
"Hey, Hina!" said Ino cheerily.
"H-Hey..." Hinata responded. Yes, she was relief that it was her friends and no one else,especially Hoheto. She had not gotten the chance to speak with her cousin about Sasuke despite his questions.
As Tenten, Ino and Sakura sat around the the Hyuga's room, the trio noticed that something was off. "What's wrong?" asked Tenten.
"Yeah." Sakura spoke. "You seem off."
HInata sighed. The thought of Sasuke proposing to her could not leave her mind. But could she tell her friends this without them overreacting?
"W-Well..."
"You and Sasuke did it." Ino answered, or so she thought, with a smile. "You can tell us."
Hinata nodded. "Well, yeah." she murmured.
Sakura widen her eyes.
Tenten rolled her eyes. "I already knew this."
Ino snorted. "Of course." she said. "And you didn't tell us?"
"It was not my business to tell." Tenten retorted. The brown haired girl then shrugged. "It isn't a big deal, either way."
"That isn't the point." Ino hushed her two companions with a wave of her manicured hand. "The point is that our little Hina had sex!"
Sakura squealed. And as did Ino. "How was it?"
"Well..." Hinata trailed off, feeling her cheeks warm. "It hurt...b-but it felt good after the second time."
"Second time?" Ino coughed, her eyes wide.
"With Sasuke?" gasped Sakura.
Hinata slapped herself upon the forehead.
Tenten rolled her eyes as she listened to the encounter with Hinata and Sasuke. She could not care less who Sasuke decided to have sex with, but it hurt to know that his most recent was Hinata. That, and he left in the dramatic way she could not believe.
"It was more than twice, wasn't it?" asked Ino. Hinata did not answer. "Wow. That jerk left after our first. Faster than I've ever seen."
Sakura smirked and nodded. "I was lucky I even had a first, I suppose."
Both Yamanaka and Haruno could laugh and joke about their past with the Uchiha boy. Now, both girls could smile again without any pain coming from them. The girls had gotten over their sadness from the Uchiha boy long ago. While the dare was put into place, their sadness was placed with anger and hatred. Now, they were numb. They disliked Sasuke for what he has done but neither one of them despised the Uchiha for being who he was.
As Hinata listened to the laughter that erupted throughout the room, she began to feel sick. Even Tenten was laughing upon her own experience with the young Uchiha male! The Hyuga girl began to feel sick out of her mind and stomach. She felt as if the room was twirling - she was dizzy. The laughter gotten louder and louder in her mind and her stomach began to churn - she knew for sure she was bound to vomit any minute now.
"Sasuke proposed to me!"
Though he could not face her, Uchiha Sasuke could write to her. A day after his encounter with Hinata, he began to write the letters that would be sent out to her. The black haired boy began to feel like an old sap who wrote to his wife every moment on how he felt. He felt lovesick and emotional. Some of his letters would go on and on, while most would be thrown away in embarrassment.
'What did you expect?' his mind began to ask. 'Did you expect her to jump in joy and take the engagement.'
'Yes.' he also though. That was his egoistic side.
He wanted - no, desired Hinata. He wished she was here with him for he would no longer be alone in the deadly silence estate he resided in. Though, it would be no fault but his own. He was the one who left his school and an entire village to get away from the drama filled area without speaking with the woman he desired. Of course she would be confused. She was eighteen and had not yet graduated from the same High school Sasuke escaped from. She was new to the outside world and the walls outside of Konohagakure itself.
She had not answered his question. 'She didn't say no.' Egoistic Sasuke thought.
'She didn't say yes either.'
Sighing, Sasuke began to write one of the hundreds of letters he wrote for the Hyuga heiress.
Hinata,
All that I desire, I have.
Money and notoriety and a estate to my own...
"Wait..." Ino said, her eyes wide. "Sasuke?"
Hinata nodded. She could not believe it herself.
Surrounding her in her own bedroom were the usual three girls - Tenten, Sakura and Ino.
Sakura gasped. As did Ino. "No..." said the pink haired girl.
Tenten shook her head, her brows tight in a snarl. "You can't." she said.
"I-"
"You cannot." Tenten interrupted the Hyuga. "He just wants you to lose all of your friends then he'll leave you."
Ino sighed. "I don't know. Sasuke looks as if he's changed."
Sakura nodded her head in agreement. "Besides." she said while placing her finger on her chin. "Why would Sasuke ask anyways if he did not mean it? He already left the village."
Tenten shook her head. This was the last thing she desired to hear from Sasuke and Hinata. Yes, her feelings for the Uchiha were long gone. However, she thought Hinata was too great for the Uchiha (even if she did go along with the dare and publicly embarrass him). Sasuke did not deserve her.
"What did you say, Hina?" asked Tenten.
Hinata flushed.
Ino widen her eyes.
Tenten gasped.
Sakura squealed.
"Oh my gosh!" All three said, only two of them being somewhat excited.
"You said yes!" Ino jumped with joy. She was unsure as to why, but her heart felt whole.
Hinata shook her head. "I-"
"How did he do it?" asked Sakura.
Ino nodded. "Did he get down on one knee?"
"Did he give you a ring?"
"Ooooh can we see it?"
From both Ino and Sakura's questions, Hinata felt herself become even more sick.
"Stop it you two." Tenten called. "You're making her overwhelmed."
The brown haired girl sighed and shook her head. "So, did you agree, Hina?"
Taking a deep breath, Hinata shook her head. "I was scared." she spoke softly.
Tenten released the breath she was unsure she kept in.
Ino frowned. "Well, what did you say?"
"N-Nothing..." Hinata answered, her heart aching. Sasuke probably hated her now.
"Nothing?" asked Sakura, tilting her head to the side.
"I just left." Hinata shurgged. "It happened fast and I-I could not comprehend the situation."
One minute the heiress was talking normally to the Uchiha and the next he is declaring and requesting for the both of them to be wed.
"DO you not want to be married to him?"
Hinata adverted her eyes to Tenten while she thought of Ino's question.
"Well, Hina?" Tenten stared into Hinata's pearl eyes.
"I-I...my father-"
"This is not about your father, Hinata." Tenten interrupted her.
Hinata frowned once more.
Much to Tenten's despair, she could not choose what Hinata should and should not do. No, she was not the young girls mother or father or any legal guardian. Hinata was now eighteen years old and old enough to choose whatever she desired. Tenten would not recommend anyone be with he Uchiha...however...he has changed. He could see it in the way he often stared at Hinata which shown adoration and need. (And not only in a lustful way) Tenten had to let Hinata be whoever she desired, and if marrying Sasuke was what she wanted then that is what she wished, no one could stand into her way.
"Tenten is right for once." the emerald eye girl spoke. "It's about you, Hinata."
Hinata gulped.
"Much as I hate to say it," Tenten spoke. "He has changed."
Ino nodded in agreement. "He has never looked at anyone like he does for you."
"Plus he proposed!" Sakura squealed.
Hinata,
Some may say that this world was built for two, no matter the sex. Though, it would be worth living
with someone loving you...for in a land with nothing but beasts and deities, you stayed to be an angel
in my eyes...
Sasuke was sure he was no longer himself.
Never in the eighteen years of his life had he ever wrote letters to a woman.
Hell, he never wrote letters to anyone of his family members back in Konohagakure.
He wrote to his mother twice stating that he would speak with her three times a week the most if he had the time, but has yet gotten the chance to.
But this was not his mother. This was a Hyuga woman who he despised in his youth and also publicly embarrassed him (even if it was Karin's doing).
But realizing that Hinata could be far from his grasps...he could not handle it.
Even when he loathed her, he was use to seeing her. Either it be around school with the mutual friends they shared and the classes or it be at the many meetings and dinner parties their family organized.
Sasuke groaned. 'What is wrong with me?'
