Chapter XIII:
Hinata was too preoccupied with her talk with Sasuke that she didn't notice her hunger which became evident when her stomach rumbled and Sasuke laughed when he heard it making Hinata ashamed of herself and lowered her head not glancing her way towards him. He remembered the rice cakes he bought earlier and reached into his pocket to give Hinata some.
"I bought this earlier when the old lady offered it to me." He explained before taking a bite at his rice cake.
Hinata tasted one and said, "This is delicious Sasuke san thanks a lot."
"Hn."
When they were done eating Shino and Kiba saw them from a far that recently finished their training, akamaru barked happily and ran ahead towards Hinata who stood and welcomed the dog in her arms. Sasuke followed suit but just glared at the dog and turned his back on them focusing his sights on the Konoha River.
"Hey akamaru stop that you are hurting Hinata chan already." Kiba odered to his dog companion and said hi to Hinata not bothering to greet Sasuke.
Shino greeted both Hinata and Sasuke but didn't say much.
"How are ya Hinata chan you missed 4 days of training already."
Shino adjusted his glasses and glared at Kiba through his dark lens, "Hinata got married recently in case you forgot Kiba."
"Ya I know it's because she married him (points a finger at Sasuke) that I kept on forgetting."
Hinata playfully hit Kiba on his arm, "Don't be mean Kiba san that's my husband you are pointing to."
"When are you training again with us?" KIba asked.
Sasuke turned to look at Kiba, "Though we appreciate your help being her teammate I will personally train Hinata san after our honeymoon."
Kiba growled, "What? In case you don't know only Kurenai sensei Shino and me saw Hinata's potential back when no one wanted her you included, and now when you recently got married to whatever reason to her when it was Naruto who was her fiancé suddenly demands to be personally training Hinata chan. Just who do you think you are Uchiha is Hinata chan already you puppet whose strings you solely control!?"
Sasuke glared at Kiba with anger which is evident by his continuously rotating sharingan eyes and his sparking right arm ready to release a fully charged chidori at any moment, while Kiba moved into attack stance with akamaru following him as well both growling angrily ready to attack Sasuke anytime soon. Hinata at the middle became terrified at what could happen to both men if they go at each other, she was scared to even touch Sasuke whose chakra is already spiked up the same goes to Kiba and akamaru who are growling madly like feral beasts. Shino remained calm and prepares 3 of his bugs that will easily knock them before they clash.
"Please stop both of you I don't know want any of you hurt. Sasuke san I know Kiba san said some mean words but he doesn't really mean it so please calm down." Hinata said worriedly.
"I mean every word Uchiha because you don't deserve someone so good like Hinata chan!" Kiba growled and quickly leapt together with akamaru to pounce on Sasuke who was waiting for them to come at him to hit with his chidori.
"Shino san do something please!" Hinata shrieked and Shino sent 2 bugs towards Kiba and akamaru dropping them at the ground face first.
"Damn it Shino, you shouldn't have stopped me and akamaru." Kiba whined.
Sasuke eased his chidori but his eyes were still sharingan activated and said to Kiba, "Lucky break mutt lover for if your friend didn't stop you, you will never see tomorrow again."
"Fuck off Uchiha!"
"Stop it already Kiba aren't you aware of what Uchiha is capable of and that what he said is true? And that because you are both blinded by rage you failed to see Hinata here scared of what will happen to both of you if I didn't stop any of you. Uchiha is Hinata's husband now and he owns her as much as Hinata owns him, besides there is nothing wrong with him personally training Hinata for he is stronger than sensei and us combined so if there is someone who can unlock Hinata's potential it is Sasuke." Shino explained.
"He's right Kiba san, Sasuke san only means well not and just because I am personally training under him doesn't mean I can't train with you guys anymore." Hinata said softly to Kiba.
Kiba did not reply but only grunted and Shikamaru who was passing by the river saw them.
"Hi there Hinata, Uchiha, Kiba and Shino. What happened here why is Kiba and akamaru on the ground?"
"Nothing, I just saved them from making a fool out of themselves. Why are you here anyway isn't this your nap time?" Shino asked.
"How troublesome, I was just passing by when I saw you guys. Anyway Neji is gathering everyone on rookie 9 with senseis included at the hokage tower."
"Why would Neji niisan gather everyone?
"I don't know either but you and Uchiha are not allowed to come."
"Hn. Hinata san why don't you go ahead back home, I have things to do still." Sasuke told Hinata whose eyes returned to his normal obsidian ones and left.
"That was smooth Uchiha!" Kiba growled who was recently revived up by Shino.
"That's alright Kiba san besides I have to go home early to arrange my clothes I will be bringing for our ho-honeymoon trip, I'll see you in a month bye." Hinata smiled and left the boys to themselves.
"Seriously Shikamaru why would Neji gather us without Uchiha and Hinata chan?"
"Isn't it clear already what it was about, can't you see both of them already understood what Neji is going to tell us about?" Shikamaru said irritated.
"It's about their marriage." Shino answered for him.
Sasuke wasn't going to do anything he just wanted to drink sake and think about how his life suddenly changed in a few days from Naruto's betrayal to his marriage to Hinata, although he isn't really a fan of sake he really needed it right now to think. Though he could not admit it personally to Hinata or anyone he was actually caring for her and that what he said to his promise when he proposed up to his marriage vows he meant it. What really irked him during his encounter with Sai is because of how close he felt with Hinata when he was a total stranger and an anbu, a trained assassin without feelings but Hinata still feels at ease with him and constantly smiles at her which is flirting to his eyes. Next was the mutt lover who told him at his face though not directly that Naruto deserves her more and that he will never deserve someone like Hinata, yes he was fully aware that he doesn't deserve Hinata but isn't he already changing to be deserving of her at least to everyone's standard. Sure he wasn't hoping their marriage will turn into love when they were total strangers in the first place and that he doesn't know what it was like to be in love and that she will probably no one but Naruto, but at least he wanted them to be close to lovers if possible. Feeling miserable, after long years of abandoning that feeling of being miserable Sasuke drowned himself with sake.
Hinata ate lunch alone and was briefly visited by her father to give her a package she was to deliver personally to raikage, after he left she packed her clothes and things she will be bringing and when she was done it was dinnertime and like lunch she ate alone. Since she had nothing to do she packed Sasuke's clothes as well and when she was done she lay on her futon to sleep but it was not coming to her for she worries about Sasuke's whereabouts and what how he reacted earlier.
The rest of the rookie 9 gathered in the Hokage tower by the meeting room together with their senseis who are still alive, Sai, Kakashi, Tsunade and Shizune. Neji explained how the marriage of Sasuke and Hinata came about and made them all promise not to discuss it with anyone anymore. Everyone was surprised at what happened and can't help but feel sympathy towards Hinata, amazed at Sasuke and angry at both Naruto and Sakura. Tsunade and Kakashi both felt ashamed at what Naruto and Sakura did. Kiba who wanted nothing earlier that day but to beat Sasuke in a pulp now respects him for what he did to save her friend from shame and now diverted his anger to Naruto who he'll make pay for what he did. Ino also wanted to apprehend Sakura for hurting someone so kind as Hinata, although Sai was emotionless and doesn't want to participate in their plan of making Naruto and Sakura pay had only one thing in his mind to make Sasuke and Hinata's compound the best in Konoha ever. The rookie 9 asked permission to Kakashi if they can go ahead with their plan, he gave his approval but they must not hurt Naruto and Sakura so much for revenge is never really the answer and they must only make them realize their mistakes.
It was past nine when Sasuke returned home heavily drunk from drinking sake since afternoon, Hinata felt his chakra and rose from the bed to see him and ask where he'd been.
"Sasuke san I was worried something happened to you, where did you go?" Hinata asked concerned.
"Hn, I was just drinking." He answered in a slurred voice walking unsteadily towards Hinata."
"I'll make you a tea so you can sober up just lay in the futon and wait for me." Hinata said and was about to leave their room but Sasuke held her arm.
"Have you any idea how you are making me feel?" He asked and kissed her fully on the lips surprising Hinata and terrified at the force of the movement of his lips which she never experienced before and although she wanted to move away his tight hold on her prevents her to do so. She can feel her knees getting weak when Sasuke's tongue gained entrance through her mouth and though inexperienced her tongue fought with his making them both moan. Sasuke who can't control himself anymore, pinned Hinata gently down at the futon while still kissing and only parted when air was needed and he continued his kisses by making a trail from her nose, ears, mouth, jaw, neck and almost down to the trail of her breasts until he heard her cry that put him back to his senses and stop what he was about to do.
Sasuke immediately moved away from Hinata and turned his back on her ashamed of what he just did and what he was about to do, if he hadn't heard her cry he will be doing something that will make Hinata hate him forever. Hinata covered herself with the blanket and curled into a fetal position crying.
Angry at what he did he punched the floor and stormed out of the room to sober, by training until he can't move a muscle anymore and making a reminder to himself never to drink too much ever again. Hinata who was left alone at the room continued to cry remembering Sasuke's words that he broke; I won't be touching you in bed unless you want me to. She continued to cry thinking what she did to be left by the man he loves and now the man he trusts did something to her that broke her trust of him her crying continued until she was tired from too much crying and fell asleep.
When Sasuke returned to their room he saw Hinata sleeping with her head on her tear soaked pillow and felt sorry for her, and although he was sobered up and tired he can't sleep beside Hinata from what he did. He looked for a change of clothes and noticed that Hinata already packed his clothes he will be bringing. After a quick change of clothes he wrote a note to Hinata and carried his bag and left a note along with a freshly picked lavenders and sunflowers beside her and left.
As the dawn came about 5 am Hinata woke up and she immediately saw the bundle of flowers beside her a note and read it.
Hinata san,
I'm really sorry for what I did last night, in all honesty it was the first time I drank that much and I didn't know what I was doing and if it wasn't for crying I would have done more. I know that I broke your trust of me for what happened but I will do anything to make you trust me again if you give me another chance. By the time you read this letter I am standing by the Konoha gate patiently waiting for you until morning and if I see you it means that you are giving me a second chance, but if don't see you that will only mean you aren't giving me a second chance and I will leave for good not bothering to show my face to you and live the rest of my life knowing my wife will never forgive me.
Sasuke.
Author's Note: First of all thanks to the reviews, follows, and favorite. That scene is heartbreaking to write but that scene is necessary to evolve Sasuke and Hinata's relationship for it was never an easy road when falling in love. Anyway write in the review your suggestions on what the rookie 9 and their senseis will do to Naruto and Sakura for that will be happening at chapter 15 and what do you think about this chapter and what happened to Sasuke and Hinata? About Kiba's accent I made it like that for it suits him being a dog lover and such. I'll probably maximize the T rating when the real deal happens in the future for I am not sure I can write an M scene especially when I don't have a beta reader so if you want the M scene beta read this fic. Hehehe.
