Hinata sighed as she fixed her ear piece and stirred her straw in her alcoholic beverage. Her long midnight blue hair was pulled back in a loose yet elegant bun that left hair to cover both her ears. She was lightly covered in makeup with the help from her work buddy Sakura Haruno. Her usual lavender colored eyes were hidden with colored contacts that made them an onyx color; she was sure that her blue hair should have been hidden too. Hinata was dressed in a long red dress that tired around her neck and had a long slit going up the right side to reveal her pale colored legs. She resisted the urge to shiver at the cool breeze blowing over her skin and let her eyes glance around the shady looking night club.
Hinata Hyuga was on her first undercover mission. She was an agent at Konohagakure's Anbu Black Ops, the top unit of law enforcement that dealt with terrorist, drug lords, and anything else that was in high class crimes. Her mission today was to see if she might be able to get the name of a top Drug Lord from Sunagakure that was only known as Shukaku, Demon of Suna. Hinata was actually very surprised to have gotten a mission like this since she had no clue about seduction and she was actually a bit shy. Hinata usually worked as a close range fighter and when hidden behind her mask, she was the number one female fighter. Sakura Haruno, a medic in the Black Ops and sniper was on the list to get this mission along with TenTen Mitarashi, gun specialist, and Ino Yamanaka, top poison maker and assassin. But those three were fairly popular in the news and could be easily caught and found out; so then it was left to Hinata to go undercover and try to see if she can find it out. All the males were surprised to see how she looked in one of Yamanaka's dresses but she was about as graceful as an elephant on a ball of twain in her black heeled shoes. She was drove to the club in a taxi and then she slowly walked into the building. Hinata was only allowed in the back areas of the club with a key word that her partner, Kiba Inuzuka, obtained from a dancer in the club.
Now, she lightly sipped her drink and waited for any sign of a Shukaku and his gang. She looked back at all the illegal drinks that were lined on the bar as she fixed her diamond bracelet that she wore for the reason to look like she belonged. Their strategist, Shikamaru Nara, advised Hinata to act like an obvious gold digger, she'll do whatever she needed to get money and very expensive things. Hinata was also told to try and act like she had a back bone; that was going to be hard on her part. How could she play a gold digger when she kept trying to hide all her exposed skin? She sighed lightly and spun her drink around again and looked over her shoulder to the smoke filled room; she pursed her pink lips and then licked them lightly. She watched as scantily clad women sat on some of the top criminal's laps and touched them in ways that made Hinata blush and look away. She went back to sitting forward and looked to the very bottle she got her drink from; it was almost empty and she saw the high number on the tag.
The music pulsed through her body and she lightly held her pounding head; she wasn't meant for this kind of scenery and she was about ready to throw up. She took another drink and lightly placed the empty glass drink on the counter and pushed it away from her; maybe while drunk she could get some confidence? She turned around in her stool but sat there as she watched a rather large group of men and one woman walk through the door. Hinata was lucky that she had such good eye site or she would have been blinded from the smoke. She saw that all the men wore dark colored suits with fedora hats. Everyone grew a bit quiet as they entered, so Hinata figured that these were some powerful people. Many of the girls began to walk up to the group since even Hinata could tell that they just oozed the scent of money, but all the men kept them back from the main three people in the group. Two were male and one was female. The female looked to be older than the two males, but not by very much; she was dressed in a short black dress with red accents in it and her dirty blonde hair was pulled back in a spikey ponytail that touched the base of her neck. Teal eyes scanned all the men in the room and she looked uninterested. Her heeled shoes made rather loud clicks against the dirty floor.
One of the male was taller than the one next to him and he had lightly tanned skin and brown hair sticking out from under his black hat. He wore a mobster looking faded black suit that had a purple rose in the breast pocket. His build was rather built, but she let her eyes look over to the red head. He was shorter compared to the brunette male and his skin was so pale and his sea-foam green eyes looked hard and cold. She gulped lightly as they passed her by; the red head was dressed in a black suit that made his pale skin stick out. He had a red handkerchief in his breast pocket and a red band around his fedora hat. She looked away when she saw his eyes glance in her direction and she just praised that he didn't' see her looking at him. She felt her heart rate return to normal as the group was lead into another room and the noise of talking came back to a high level and she was able to breathe a bit normally. She turned back to the bartender who was cleaning glasses.
"E-excuse me?" she spoke lightly.
He looked at her, "What you want another drink? I hope someone is paying for these since I don't do hand-outs."
Hinata shook her head, "N-no not that. I was hoping you could tell me who those people were."
"Who they are," he looked at her like she was insane and put down his glass. "Listen here missy; those people are guarding the number one dealer in all these nations." He spoke in a low whisper and leaned forward a bit, "Shukaku was with them…so I'd keep your curious little nose out of their way. But you are pretty good looking, so maybe even you can get lucky." He shrugged and walked over to a waitress that was trying to order drinks over the noise. Hinata sighed and decided that she was not going to be able to get into that room without getting into that room. She pulled out some cash and paid for her drinks and then pretended to walk to the bathroom. Once she noticed that no one was looking at her, she snuck into one of the rooms that were for the girl entertainers. She shoved her money back into the pocket that Ino showed her was in the dress to hold money –Ino thought carrying purses were too much of a hassle when one wanted to get shit faced- and then walked up to the other side of the room where another door was. Hinata silently opened it and was now in a narrow hallway. She blushed pink as she heard very erotic sounds coming from behind closed doors that she didn't dare to try and open. She walked slowly as she tried to think of a good excuse for being down here. She actually had a bunch of good ideas in her head.
"Hey you," she nearly jumped as a rather buff looking man stopped her in her tracks, "What is your business here?" Hinata remembered that this was one of the guys that came in the big group that was claimed to be Shukaku.
*Smirk* I was just sent by Lord Orochimaru to keep our guest of honor company. "W-w-well…I-I-I…" she trailed off and silently cursed herself for not being able to say what she thought. Lord Orochimaru was right in the other room with so many women that he would just agree with the statement. She was about ready to knock her head against the wall but the male was still looking down at her like he was about ready to murder her. "I-I mean-"
"Hey," the two looked over to see that the brunette was standing in front of the door that the big brute of the man was blocking from her view. "What's going on out here?"
"Just another hooker looking for a way to get to the boss," the male said with his gruff voice and laughed as Hinata's face turned a dark red.
She huffed loudly, "P-please, I would rather let Orochimaru touch me then see your boss," That's right Hinata; offend the most powerful drug lord ever, good-thinking. Hinata just crossed her arms over her chest and turned away, "Sorry for wasting your precious time," she said with sarcastic venom to them and she was sure she was going to die tonight.
"Hold up there," the brunette grabbed her shoulder and turned her back around. Hinata looked to see that the male's face was painted with purple paint and had a smirk on his lips. "The Boss wanted me to come out and get you," Hinata paled and the male gave a chuckle, "don't worry, I'll be sure not to tell him what you said." Without a warning Hinata was pulled past the brutish man and into a lowly dim room. She looked around in the low lights and watched as men and woman did drugs, drank, smoke, and….well other things…she kept her eyes ahead. The male glanced at her, "Try not to act so stupid around the boss okay…I'd hate to see a pretty thing like you dead." Hinata nodded with an audible gulp as he pulled aside a bead curtain and Hinata looked to see the red headed male. "Be carefully," he gave a none-too-kind shove into the room and Hinata stumbled in. Once she regained her balance she looked about the room and tried to nonchalantly fix her hair.
"Look who's here," the only female of the group looked up as she pulled a cigarette out from between her lips. She smirked as she eyed the blue haired girl who looked so out of her element. "The little rabbit trying to fit in with wolves," she laughed as Hinata just looked away, "pathetic thing you are."
"Temari," a low and velvety voice said from another booth. The two women looked over to see that the red head was sitting there with his hat tipped down low to hide his face. "Are you done being a bitch?" Hinata watched as the blonde seemed to look a bit fearful, but quickly hid it when she noticed Hinata was looking at her. This 'Temari' just grunted lightly and went back to sitting forward and flirting with the male at her side. Hinata really hoped that she wasn't going to cause trouble between these people. "Come," Hinata's attention was back on the male. He lifted up his hand and without looking at her motioned her to go towards him, "Take a seat." Hinata hesitantly walked over to him; he motioned to the seat right next to him, "don't be shy." She could hear the teasing in his voice, but she was unsure on how he could see the blush on her cheeks. Hinata noticed that the booth's back was to all the others and she awkwardly slid into the seat so she was as close as she wanted to be to the male. Was this him? Everyone sure acted like he was a blood thirsty killer. "Name," she was pulled from her thoughts by his voice.
I'm Mimi, and who are you sexy? "M-M-Mimi…" she squeaked out as she held her self like she was terrified, but she just hoped he thought she was cold.
"What brings you to this kind of place Mimi," he spoke lightly like he was going to scare her away, which he already did.
Hope I could meet a nice guy like yourself sweetheart. "I-I-I just n-needed a-a ch-change of s-scenery…" she was just so bad at trying to act cool. Hinata was sure that the word 'Loser' was written on her forehead. "I-I was s-supposed t-t-to meet s-someone…b-but I-I guess I-I was st-stood up."
"How odd," he spoke lightly, "how could someone of your demeanor be able to get back here? Dangerous for someone like you to be alone in places like this," he allowed himself closer to her, like a predator going for the kill.
I know people. "L-like I-I-I said…" she looked away from him, "I-I was g-going t-to meet someone…a-a Hyuga I-I think…" Hinata hated to admit it, but her cousin Neji had warned her that even her family wasn't above getting their hands dirty in dealings like these. Hinata just pretended to ignore her father's doings with his company; she was no longer part of the clan anyway. This was a better cover since she was unable to listen to her cool and sexy side that was trapped in her head. "I-I-I was j-just leaving b-but then I-I was brought h-here." Why was she so nervous? Hinata thought she dropped all this stuttering when she left high school. She was going to have to go to her speaking classes again when this was over.
"Well then," he was a lot closer to her now, she almost jumped when she felt his arm go around her shoulders, "I'm glad you were stood up." She looked over at him and she nearly let out a squeak when she noticed how close they were to one another. Hinata felt her breath hitch in her throat when she noticed how handsome he was. Sharp and strong features and she caught that there was a marking on his forehead but she couldn't make out what it was. She watched as a smirk came to his thin lips, "That moron Hyuga missed out on something priceless…" Hinata blushed and gave an awkward smile that made him chuckle.
"Wh-why th-thank y-you," she leaned away from him and looked down at her lap. "I-I'm s-so sorry b-but I never g-got your name."
"You may call me Gaara," he whispered in her ear that Hinata felt a shiver run down her back. She was so lucky that her ear piece was in her other ear. Hinata needed a full name, she was about ready to try to get his whole name, but they were interrupted by the brunette. "What is it Kankuro," Gaara looked up to the male with a slight glare, not wanting to be interrupted.
"We got an issue…one of the deals was just a set up," Hinata didn't let the terror show on her face; she really hoped it wasn't one of her people.
"And I am needed right at this moment," he asked and Kankuro stepped back from the male who was just seething. Hinata almost felt the need to lean away from the red head. Kankuro slowly nodded and Gaara gave out a deep throated growl. Hinata watched as Kankuro walked away and Gaara was about ready to follow suit. Hinata quickly reached out before he could walk away and grabbed his hand. He stopped in his tracks and looked back at her, "Yes, Mimi?" He smirked as she watched her cheeks go red and she quickly released her hold on him.
"I-I-I w-was just w-wanted to know…" she twiddled her thumbs and looked at her lap, "i-if I-I could call you s-sometime….?" Hinata was really bad at this wasn't she? Asking for his number? How lame is that…she should have just asked if he would take her to prom too. Before she could sigh she saw that a card was held out to her. She looked back up at him with some surprise.
"I will expect a call tomorrow," he said with a smirk as she slowly took the card from him. "Have a nice night Mimi." She watched as he followed Kankuro out. Hinata looked down at the card and read the number written on it. It was just a plain business card with the number written on it in pen. She leaned back in the booth and closed her eyes lightly as a smile played on her lips.
"Don't get too ditsy," Hinata looked up to see that Temari was leaning against the back of the booth. "You would have been better off with the Hyuga moron," she took a drag of her cigarette and blew out smoke, "Don't disappoint my brother, rabbit. Or you'll end up face down in the river." Hinata nodded quickly and Temari rolled her eyes, "Pathetic," she then walked off and left Hinata in the booth. Hinata took that note to make her leave; she left booth, then the room with a beaded curtain, and then the back room. Hinata walked down the narrow hall-way and took the main exit out into the bar. She walked to the rather large bouncer that blocked the door, but he didn't search her like when he walked in; he opened the door for her and wished her a nice night. Hinata was back out into the main part of the club and walked through the throng of dancers and drinkers. Once back outside she took in a deep breath of the night air with a smile on her lips. She quickly hailed a taxi and told him the direction of a motel; she didn't want to reveal that she was really a cop in case he was still watching her. She pulled the keys out of a motel she bought earlier that night and hoped that no one had robbed her. She'd have to find a way to get back to headquarters and report of what had happened to her.
Oh the girls were going to have a field day with this one.

"You got his number!" Ino yelled as Hinata groaned loudly. She didn't need that this early in the morning. She was dressed in a pair of jeans and a zip up hoodie covered her tight black sleeveless shirt. After getting a fitful night of sleep Hinata turned in her key and after being sure she wasn't being followed she went back to her workplace. Her hair was up in a messy bun and there were bags under her eyes. Ino and Sakura were the ones that she had to debrief to and this is what she got. Hinata looked at the two that looked at her with shock and just nodded. The two looked at the number and gasped.
"Oh dear lord," Sakura said looking over the business card, "you actually attracted him."
"Oh thanks," Hinata said sarcastically and Sakura quickly tried to cover up her insult. Hinata waved it off, "And this is when the problem comes in." They both looked at her, "he wants me to call him again, tonight."
"Oh Hinata," Ino shook her head, "you finally get to go out again and it's with the most wanted man in the world." She got up, "Come on Hinata," Sakura pulled the girl up who was still hung-over, "you're going to need a whole new identity." Hinata groaned since before she knew it, she was sitting next to Shino Aburame, computer expert, who was creating her whole new self. Shikamaru was the only person allowed in the room with them since once hearing the situation he had a plan figured out. He sat on the other side of Shino who was making calls to companies and then also writing out all of Hinata's new information.
"You are now Mimi Hatake, daughter of Kakashi Hatake the owner of the Uchiha's personal assistant and manager at anything that will be released to the public." Shikamaru was now reading over all of her new information. "You were born in Konohagakure hospital with by doctor Tsunade. Your mother was Tenshi Tanahashi but she passed away when you were three in a car accident. You live in Sunset Apartments on the top floor in the top suit; you work for the Sharigan Corporation as Sasuke Uchiha's personal assistant." He glanced at Hinata who looked at the computer screen in horror as Shino was filling out fake crime files, "You have a thing for powerful men and you have a record for petty theft in your teen days, but that's it. This is your company cards, and all your new credit cards," Hinata took the plastic things with a frown. "I've already sent Kiba and Lee to do certain things in your new apartment but I won't tell you what. Ino and Sakura are picking out new clothes that will be in your closets and dressers."
"Great," she sighed as Shino finished typing and sent out all these new records. "I made a comment that I was to meet up with a Hyuga. Will I need to cover my ass for that too?"
"I'll look into it but I don't think you will," he handed her a set of keys. "Sorry but we don't have the money to supply you with a car. You'll end up making enough money to take a cab everywhere." He stood up and Hinata stood up with him. "Now, I know this may sound hard but," he held out his hand, "I'm going to need to take your badge." Hinata nodded and sadly handed him her pride and joy. He sighed as she looked to try and not cry, "Don't worry about it Hinata," he gave a light smile, "once we catch this guy you'll be back on the force."
"Yeah…" she said lightly and pocketed all her new things. "So…what do I do know?"
"You have to get to work," he said putting his hand on her back and showing her out of the room. The two began to walk down the halls and Hinata had to keep up with his long strides, "The Uchiha wants you working right away."
"B-but I don't know w-what to do?" she began to panic as he was leading her to an elevator that took them to the large parking building for all the company cars and personal cars. "I can't be an assistant…I-I can o-only shoot people."
"Don't worry," he said lightly as they walked out into the cold parking area, "I'm not throwing you right in the deep end, but I just hope you are a quick learner." Hinata watched as he motioned ahead of them. Hinata gapped as she saw a limo waiting there. "Be on your best behavior Hinata," she nodded as she walked up to the limo and knocked on the window. She looked back but Shikamaru was already in the elevator and the doors closed and cut off his image. Hinata just looked back at the door and before she could knock again the door opened.
"Get in," a voice that was obviously male and then she quickly entered the car and closed the door. She looked up and nearly fainted at the site of the Uchiha heir, Sasuke Uchiha. He scoffed, "You're lucky my brother works here too, or I would have never agreed to this." Hinata nodded and he rolled his eyes, "At least you're quiet," he tossed her a notepad and pen. Hinata fumbled with him and then looked back up at him. "There are some decent clothes in that bag beside you," he motioned to the duffel bag that Hinata had failed to notice. "I want you changed before we reach the corporation building and by the end of this week I want you ready to be an assistant. I'm stuck with you so as much as I want to fire you if you screw up, I can't." He gave a light glare and Hinata sunk in her seat; he just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "just my damn luck." He exited the limo and Hinata watched him close the door. She heard him open and close another a few moments later. Hinata jumped a bit as the car began to move and Hinata quickly began to change into her new clothes. It was hard but right before the car stopped Hinata was changed and wearing the black contacts that she could keep for as long as she wanted as long as she put eye drops in every morning.
Hinata stumbled out of the car in a pair of black heels, a black pencil skirt that hung close to her body. She wore a lavender blouse that had short sleeves and was buttoned up all the way. She was also given a clip board that already had a schedule for the month and she nearly gapped at all the meetings and dinners this male had to go to. Hinata followed right behind the Uchiha that did not even bother to wait for her and she was led into the large company. "U-Uh…Uchiha-sama…" she asked lightly as she crammed into the elevator with him, "c-can I at least get to know what I will be d-doing?"
"Whatever I want really," he said as he was calm and collected, "pick up my dry cleaning, getting me drinks or food, maybe even joining me at my dinners to be sure that I don't miss out on anything that has to do with my company." Hinata nodded and jotted down notes on her little note pad. He glanced down at her, "I also need you to be sure that my public image will not be tarnished in anyway." Hinata nodded and followed him out of the elevator and to his rather large office. She stood before his desk as he sat down, "Kakashi should be here soon to talk to you about anything else and give you some tips." He looked up at her, "now get out and never enter my office without calling in or knocking," Hinata nodded quickly and practically ran out of the office area, closing the door behind her.
"So this is my daughter," Hinata looked up and saw the silver haired male that had onyx eyes and a smile hidden behind a surgical mask. His voice was nice enough to be a father, "as you know I am Kakashi Hatake and you are Mimi Hatake." Hinata nodded; he gave a light laugh, "cute thing you are." She blushed and he just motioned to a desk that was placed before the office, "This is your work area," Hinata walked over to the desk as Kakashi took a seat in a chair that was before the desk, "you'll find a company phone in there that is yours to use only for business and I had it updated for you and placed in all the numbers that you'll need. Don't add any numbers and don't take any out." Hinata opened up one of the drawers and sat the touch screen phone, "Call me if you have any issues and I wish you the best of luck Mimi-chan," he got back up.
"Th-thank you…O-Otou-san," she said shyly not looking up at him. Hinata didn't see it, but Kakashi let out a light smile as he walked away. Hinata sighed as she sat in her rolling chair and was left alone. She looked to her desk and saw that everything was mapped out with sticky notes. She smiled as she saw the head set on the desk with a sticky note next to it that read, 'Wear me!' She put it on and then looked to the phone that had labeled directions on how to use it. Her computer was on and she read over the sticky notes that surrounded the screen telling her what to do. Hinata quickly got to work.
It was a terrible day.
(Line Break)
Hinata gave a sigh of relief as she was three minutes away from clocking out from her desk job. She had never taken so many calls nor had she been in so many arguments with girls that just had to hear the low and seductive voice that belonged to the ever great Uchiha. She was sure that the Uchiha that was just in the other office was just seething from behind his desk and ready to kill her for all the calls she let through. Hinata didn't have the heart to hang up on them…so she made those girls so very happy. She took off her head set and dropped it into the drawer and slammed it closed; she was so ready to run out of here and lie in her bed…oh wait…she had to call Gaara. Hinata went to her computer screen and typed up a message to tell Sasuke she was leaving since she was too afraid to talk to him in person; a minute after she sent send and was on her feet packing things into a laptop bag that Kakashi got her as a birthday present –she was beginning to like this guy as her father- Sasuke literally kicked open his door and stood in the doorway. Hinata jumped back and looked to him with terror as she saw how pissed off he was; she held up her bag to block the bottom half of her face.
"You…I swear to fucking kami that you learn how to hang up calls on those annoying women that call me every damn day!" Hinata began to shake in fear as he was practically yelling at her. "If I ever have to talk with one other woman that even dares call me Sasuke-kun over the phone I will make your days hell!"
You already do! Hinata just shivered and nodded quickly and hoped that he would leave her alone.
"Just go home and be sure to keep your phone on since all my calls will be forwarded to you," she nodded and ran to the elevator and then stood there and tried to not fidget as she waited for the doors to close. Sasuke rolled his eyes as he watched the silver doors close and she was blocked from his view. He never knew what it would be like to have a woman be terrified of him; and not even be slightly attracted to him. He just went back into his office and got ready to leave himself, "What a strange woman she is."
Hinata was happily sitting in the taxi cab and taking messages for Sasuke from other company heads and storing them in her awesome phone. She was sure that this phone was like a computer in her hands. She was surprised to see that the Sharigan corp. branched out to every other nation that she could think of and she was sure that the corporation was expanding to over-seas. She was just glad that she wasn't going to have to word for the shadier parts of the corporation that dealt with underground dealings that was the very same as the Hyuga family. She looked back out the window and watched as the high-life scenery passed by her window and she was in awe. Hinata didn't know if she would want to leave her new place for her old dump again. Hinata was dropped off before her knew apartment complex that towered high and looked to be brand new. She paid the driver and exited the cab that sped off right when she closed the door; she just gapped at the building before her. Hinata skipped into the building with a smile on her face and took the elevator up to her suite on the top floor.
"I'm home~" Hinata sang as she unlocked her door and opened it wide to see the large estate that was all hers. Hinata smiled brightly as she took out her keys and closed her door and locked it again. She took this as the moment to admire to her new home after tossing her bag on the lavish sofa. She had a large kitchen, a dining area; the master bedroom had a master bathroom and a walk in closet that Ino and Sakura had filed to the brim with clothes; she quickly left that room. Hinata then found her library back from her old apartment and instead of seeing them in stacks on the floor and in ripped boxes, they were on shelves. He looked to the little note that left on a desk and smiled and read 'I hope you like it.' It was written in Shino's handwriting. She also found another guest room and then another smaller bathroom that she bet she wasn't going to use at all. Hinata then pranced back into her living room and lied down on her sofa and pulled her hair out of her bun. "Oh this might be the best thing that had ever happened-" She was cut off when her home phone began to ring, "Who knows my number this fast?" Hinata walked over to the phone and picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hello Mimi," Hinata nearly dropped her phone in utter shock and terror. Gaara was on the other end of the line. She heard his throaty chuckle and almost wanted to melt at the sound of it; if he wasn't such a terrible man she would have thrown herself at him more willingly just by that voice. Hinata just stood there in silence listened to the other end, "I thought I was very clear that you should call me."
"W-well…" her voice quivered a bit with slight fear and girlish nervousness, "I-I-I was a-about t-to b-but I-I-I j-just g-got off o-of work-"
"I was only teasing Mimi," he said and Hinata just knew that there was a smirk on his face. She just gave a nervous laugh with a look of relief on her face. "So tell me Mimi, what would you like to do tonight?" Hinata sat back down on her sofa and just looked around like something was going to get her out of this phone call.
"W-why d-don't y-you choose," she laughed lightly and began to pull at the hem of her dress. "I-I-I'm st-still v-very n-new to the t-town…" Hinata really needed to stop stuttering; she didn't want to be known as 'rabbit' by Temari anymore.
"Alright then," he spoke lightly and Hinata heard the click of lighter in the background "be ready about eight." Hinata just nodded and then gave a verbal 'yes' and they didn't give each other any form of goodbye since Gaara just hung up. Hinata looked to the clock and quickly ran to her new master bathroom and took a shower since she barely had any time to get ready. She was wrapped in only a long white towel and she nearly slipped multiple times and landed face first. She closed her door behind her as she entered the closet and she was began to rifle through all the revealing clothes that she had; if only she knew what they were going to do tonight. She assumed that it was something classy since she could wear a long dress or something fun and flirty. No…Ino informed her that when Hinata was in dire need of information that she should use her body; but she had to keep it simple until that moment or it wouldn't have the same effect on him. Hinata dried her hair and pulled on a pair of undergarments and pulled out a black dress that went about under her knees and had thick straps. It hugged her well enough that it did not look frumpy. As she dried her hair with the towel she slipped on a pair of strappy black heels and walked back out to her bathroom and tossed the towel over the shower rail to dry. Hinata pulled out her a hair dryer and began to brush her hair while drying it; she really needed to hurry since she doubted that the man that knew her number before she did was going to find her door pretty easy.
"Why me…" she sighed as she turned off her dryer and then pulled out a straightener since her hair was getting a bit curly at the end. After getting her hair perfectly straight she stumbled into the bedroom and went through her wallet and tucked some money, new ID and credit cards into the little pocket on the inside of her dress and then looked to see her company phone…it was vibrating still. Hinata sighed and picked it up; she had to make more reservations for Sasuke. She did it as quick as she could while walking about to the kitchen; she groaned lightly, "Who can go out for dinner every day?"
"Are you not a fan of going out?" Hinata jumped and dropped her phone on the ground was back against the wall. Her eyes were wide at the site before her that was Gaara sitting on her sofa with a smirk on his face and his hat being held in his hands. She placed her hand over her beating heart that was hitting against her ribcage; how the hell did he get in here? "Well Mimi," he spoke in a smooth voice, "I'm very upset that you only stutter around me."
"Y-you ma-make m-m-me nervous…" she said lightly with a blush on her cheeks, "H-How did y-you get i-in?"
"I used the key," he said holding up a key. He glanced at her, "You don't mind…do you? I just think at this point in our relationship-"
"R-Relationship," she squeaked out but then pushed her back closer into the wall when he shot her a glance. "I-I m-mean…w-we h-ha-have only t-talked o-once…"
"I think that one time was enough, wasn't it," he got to his feet and Hinata looked to see that he was dressed in a good-looking suit that made her face go red. Why does he have to be so handsome? She whined in her hand looking away so she wouldn't have to face such godliness. Gaara stood before her and placed his hand on the wall so that it was right beside her head; he gently moved her head so that she looked at him and then lifted up her chin, "Well Mimi, answer me." She slowly nodded her head as to not want to offend him. He smirked, "I knew you'd agree with me, so now," he pocketed the key, "how about we head out." Hinata just nodded and as he walked to the door she bent down and picked up her phone and checked it over. "Please Mimi," she looked up at him, "please don't bring work with you."
"A-Are w-we g-going t-to be in-interrupted a-a-again," she said lightly and held the phone close to her chest.
Gaara gave a smirk, "Now that isn't far Mimi," he stood in the opened door way as Hinata walked to the hall closet and found a black overcoat that she could wear. Hinata just pocketed her phone after putting on the coat. "I cannot control my brother and what happens around me."
"W-well what m-makes y-you th-think m-my phone m-means work?" she stood beside him as he closed her apartment door and locked it again.
"I just know these things," he put his arm around her waist and smirked as he heard her squeak. "I find it very cute that you are so….skittish."
"L-Like a-a rabbit…" she said with a frown but Gaara got very close to her ear and whispered huskily.
"I love rabbits," Hinata felt a shiver go down her spine and she held herself a bit. "And you shouldn't listen to my sister," Hinata took a mental note that Kankuro and Temari were his siblings; maybe she could use them to find out more about him, "she's always like that." Hinata just nodded and walked by him as they walked out of the apartment and to a waiting car that already had the chauffeur holding the door open for them. He allowed her in the car first and Hinata sat herself on the other side of the car so she sat by the window and Gaara sat at the other side. He looked at the gap between him as she buckled herself in and the door was closed. Gaara looked up at her as she looked to be very content on…her side of the car, but Gaara wanted her on his side. No, he shook his head and just starred ahead as the care took off, he wasn't going to rush this one…he wasn't going to act like some of those desperate girls that throw themselves at him for his power and money. Gaara was going to play this off cool; he surely knew that he gave her a scare by showing up at her apartment that he practically broke into. Not to mention he had been stalking her since they had met. He looked up all her files but he had some trouble since he had no idea of her last name; but once finding her picture on a license.
Yes, he was her personal stalker and pretty much new everything about her that let him knows where he could find her, who she knew, and who her family was. But he had yet to find out about her likes, dislikes, and thoughts. He easily figured out that she was much too shy to want things like those other woman, but she must have liked the finer things in life. He looked back at her and smirked as she stared at the city that passed her by like she was in a whole new world; she was too innocent that it was a bit unreal. She should be more suited to the high life, bug crowds, and even ways to manipulate…but she wasn't. Her whole aura screamed pure, innocent, and socially awkward. Maybe that was why he did like being around her…she was just so new to him. Never had he had to work to get a girl like this. Usually just being in the same room with other woman made them flock to him and drop their panties right then and there. It was disgusting, but it was what he knew. She was a challenge and before he could get anything he would have to work for it. And Gaara really did like the scene of a challenge.
Hinata glanced over at him to see him staring at her, "D-do you n-need something?" She gave a light smile with a light blush on her cheeks. He shook his head and went back to looking ahead. Hinata just tucked some hair behind her ear, "S-So G-Gaara-san…" she placed her hands in her lap delicately, "w-where a-are w-w-we going?"
"Out," he answered lightly and Hinata could only nod since she was not able to bring up the nerve to question him further. "Tell me Mimi," he glanced at her, "you work closely with the Uchiha heir what kind of relationship do you have?"
"J-just a-a business o-one re-re-really," she said lightly. "I-In all t-truth, h-he very much scares." Hinata laughed lightly and then sat back further in her seat and sighed lightly, "I-I am v-very much g-glad to leave work t-today."
"How odd," Gaara moved himself closer to the female with a smirk on his lips, "usually all women that come near him want to suddenly sleep with him."
"Ah y-yes, they d-do," she blushed as she avoided looking at him. "I-I got m-many phone c-calls of women th-that wanted t-to speak t-to him." She squirmed a bit in her seat when she felt his arm go around her shoulders. "B-but h-he gave me a good e-earful f-for letting the c-calls get through." Gaara chuckled lightly, finding it a funny site he wished to see. Seeing the Uchiha get calls from his obsessed fan base. Hinata gave her own light laugh and slowly lied her head on his shoulder, "H-How m-much longer u-until we get there?"
"Very soon," he said lightly and lightly kissed her forehead and laughed as her face burn red. "Was that too much," he asked lightly and she shook her head. Gaara inwardly sighed in relief since he worried that he went too far again. He just allowed her to rest on him and just let the lightest of smiles twitch on his lips; she did fit just right against him. The rest of the car was quiet but the two seemed to enjoy it. Gaara would randomly ask things about her and learned that the two had a bit in common. They loved to read, drink tea most of the time, and she mentioned that she was a bit of a cook.
Hinata really hoped that he wouldn't come off as too much of a prissy spoiled rich girl trying too hard to sound different. Hinata knew that gold digging women usually were all the same: Loved the finer things in life, being the life of the party, and being manipulative. Hinata sure couldn't lie anymore in fear that he was going to catch on sooner or later and she was going to end up dead. She glanced up at him as he just looked out the window…how could he look so calm and be so evil? Hinata just sighed lightly, "G-Gaara…" she looked down to the floor, "what is it like…to be you?"
He got very quiet, almost to the point where his breathing could not be heard. Gaara looked down at her, "Very hard Mimi…it can become very hard."
She just nodded quickly and he felt her tremble a bit, "O-Okay…s-sorry for asking."
"Do not worry about it," he said calmly but Hinata could hear something hidden behind his words. "Let's just not talk about it anymore; I think we are almost there."
(Line Break)
Hinata shifted lightly in the booth she and Gaara were seated in, never had she been somewhere so….lavish. Hinata thought restaurants went up to five stars, but this one had to at least get a ten. Live string music filled the air with light small talk from other tables and Hinata was sure the wine she was drinking cost more than the dress she was wearing. Women were in fur coats, long dresses that looked to be made of silk and jewelry that glittered in the low lights; Hinata felt a bit under dressed. Gaara seemed to be a regular at the restaurant since it seemed like everyone knew him and treated him like the god he was. Hinata tried to remember that she was on a mission, not a blind date…but it was getting so hard to remember; especially with Sasuke calling her. At first Hinata just let the phone ring, but even when on vibrate it would go off every ten minutes. Gaara gave her a look and she blushed and quickly turned it off. At least she didn't have to listen to the voice in her head that told her to answer it.
"You look on edge," Gaara said lightly as he held the glass of red wine in his hand. "Is something wrong?"
"N-no," she smiled lightly and sipped her drink again as to calm her frazzled nerves, "I-I'm always l-like this." She laughed nervously and then when Gaara just looked at her funny, she took another drink of wine, a much longer drink. "M-maybe I should see what U-Uchiha-sama wanted-" Hinata was about to book it out of that booth, but Gaara grabbed her arm before she could even move.
"I think Uchiha-san can go one night without you," he put his arm around her waist and held her beside him. "You are mine for the night…and maybe morning…" he smirked as he took another drink and Hinata had steam blowing out her ears. Gaara was merely teasing, but something was very alluring about seeing how flushed and skittish she could get at the mere mention of something so…vulgar. Gaara already concluded that she wasn't born a rich spoiled brat, but someone from a humble beginning and then worked into money. She was very different from all his other previous… 'Dates' –if one could call them that- but he liked her much better than any of the others. She began to stutter out that she could get fired, or that he would yell at her again and make her daily life harder than it needed to be. Gaara just felt his eye twitch a bit, sure he had lost a few girls to the Uchiha, but never had he lost one since she was afraid of him. And she was such a good find that Gaara refused to let the Uchiha have his dirty hands on her. No, once Gaara got her to be comfortable around him, she would quit her job and come live with Gaara in his Suna mansion.
"G-Gaara…" her little voice was enough to break him out of his happy-go-lucky vision about her being his wife. "The w-waiter is here."
"Ah," he said looking up at the man that looked at him with a bright smile. Hinata didn't really listen as her date, the drug lord, ordered something that was probably delicious and the waiter jotted down notes. Hinata looked around and then noticed something in the distance…someone with hair that looked like a chickens behind.
"O-Oh k-kami…" she paled as she watched her boss sitting at a table with a very angry look on his face.
"Is something wrong Miss," Hinata's snapped back in the direction of the concerned waiter and Gaara just looking at her.
"I-I need to go," she said quickly and scooted out of the booth with a nervous smile, "j-just get me a-a salad." With that she dashed off to the bathroom and tried not to face plant into the ground while she did so.
"What….what a lady you've got there."
"Don't look at her while she runs."
"Y-yes s-sir"
Gaara glared as the waiter also ran off to fill out his order. He looked back in the direction she took off in, he never thought her to be a bit off a goof. Sure it was kind of cute, but Gaara wasn't going to deal with that kind of behavior every time she got scared. Gaara looked in the direction she must have been looking in and allowed his eyes to drift around and then noticed that Sasuke Uchiha was sitting at a business dinner with a glare on his face as another company heiress rubbed up against him. He sneered as the male excused himself and looked to be going to the restroom- Wait. If Sasuke was going to the restroom…and Hinata just ran off….
"He better not touch my future wife," Gaara growled out as he got out of the booth and looked to storm off after his date. Oh she better hope that he didn't get made enough to just walk into the woman's room and drag her out.
Hinata splashed water on her face as she tried to ease her nerves. So what if the Uchiha was here and she had ignored all his calls. She had a right too, she was on a date with a fucking drug lord! Oh how she felt her own brain crumble at the thought of all that she was doing; she should have stayed out of this whole ordeal and allowed Ino to do it and get into this mess. Hinata was so tired of it. She took a few deep breaths and decided to go back to where her glass of wine was. She walked out and tried to fix her hair.
"Hatake," Hinata went stiff. She turned around and faced a glaring Uchiha that had looked to just exit the men's room. "Why did you not answer any of my calls?" Hinata suddenly lost the ability to make words come out of her mouth but she did let out something that sounded like, 'help me.' The Uchiha just rolled his eyes, "I'd rather have a stupid fan-girl working for me at least she might have some back-bone." Sasuke grabbed her arm and pulled her along, "I have Orochimaru here and he is ready to make the biggest investment into my company and I need to make sure that he doesn't try to swindle me."
"B-But Uchiha-san…" Hinata tried to stop him, but he was much too strong –and scary- for her to do so.
"Uchiha," Sasuke stopped and looked to the voice that had called out to him and Hinata had never been so thankful. "Please let her go," Gaara walked up to the two but his eyes on him.
Sasuke looked back at Hinata and then up to Gaara, "You've got to be kidding me," Sasuke smirked, "you, most feared man in this nation, is on a date." Hinata tried to look like she was uninterested in the whole thing while trying to get her arm out of his vice grip. "Very sorry, but work comes before pleasure in the normal world Sabaku." Sasuke pulled Hinata closer to him and she let out a whimper in pain.
Gaara glared at him and took hold of the Uchiha by the collar of his shirt, "Maybe you didn't hear me right Sasuke," Hinata was promptly let go and she nursed her wrist and watched in horror as the two glared at one another. "That's better," Gaara roughly pushed him back, "Come now Mimi," he glanced at her, "I think Sasuke will allow you enjoy the rest of your night."
Hinata nodded and looked to the glaring Uchiha, "V-V-Very s-sorry U-U-Uchiha-san," she looked to the ground, "j-just r-record the conversation on y-your phone…f-for evidence." Hinata quickly followed after Gaara who had not bothered to wait up for her and Sasuke was left there just watching the two walk away.
Sasuke pulled out his phone and pushed one button. He placed the phone against his ear and waited patiently. "Brother…we have a situation."
(Line Break)
Hinata was again sitting next to Gaara in the car. Dinner had been very quiet and tense and Hinata was just glad that she was almost home. She watched as Gaara wrapped her bruised wrist with gauze that was kept in a first aid kit in the car. Many others had offered to help her, but Gaara began to get very possessive of her and would not allow other people to touch her. Hinata didn't dare question his actions. Gaara only feared that she would be hurt again, since Gaara knew that the world was full of stupid people. Never had he seen someone bruise so easily, she was indeed a porcelain doll that must be taken well care of. "There," he spoke lightly as he finished, "that she hold it for now."
"I-I'm sorry G-Gaara," she said lightly, "I-I shouldn't h-have ran off l-like that…o-or h-have allowed h-him to grab m-me so easily."
"It's not your fault," he said as she placed her hands in her lap, "the damn Uchiha is to blame for this." He practically growled out the man's name. Gaara never liked that man…but the Uchiha's company allowed him to keep his underground company alive and well. The Hyuga's snuck in his goods, but the Uchiha had it distributed out to places Gaara could not reach on his own. He looked to Hinata as she pulled with the end of her dress and her hair nearly hid away most of her face from his view. "Are you alright?"
Hinata nodded, "Yes…th-thank you," she smiled lightly. Her whole body was flushed at the wild night they went through; she was sure that Sasuke was going to give her hell in the morning, but that was the least of her issues. She glanced at the male next to her; now she had to show him that she's very interested in him, but not end up in bed with him. Hinata gulped lightly and licked her lips and thought; she could speak in a suggestive voice, but he might take that the wrong way. "G-Gaara," she looked at him and gave a light smile, "I-I had a-a really great time."
"Good," Gaara watched as she pursed her lips lightly. The car came to a light stop and the two just sat in the awkward silence. Hinata just smiled lightly as he looked at her, "I…I guess I'll walk you up to your door." She nodded and Gaara exited the car and then helped her out. They both walked up to the top floor in silence and Hinata had her arms crossed her arms over her chest as they walked. Once they reached her door she stood before him with her cheeks tinted red. Gaara decided to make the first move and slowly took hold of her chin and pulled her in close. Hinata felt her face flush as she felt his lips press up against her and she slowly responded back. Hinata really enjoyed this kiss a little too much then she knew that she should have. Gaara slowly backed her up against the wall where the kiss was deepened; Hinata tried to un-cloud her senses and tried to lightly push him back but he was quick to grab her wrist. Hinata let out a whimper in pain when he did that. Gaara quickly pulled back and looked down to see that he had a tight grip around her wrapped wrist. "I…I'm sorry…" he let her go and Hinata quickly grabbed her wrist and held it to her chest, but tried her best to hide her pain.
"N-No it's fine…" she said going to her door and opened it quickly, "n-night G-Gaara." She said lightly and closed the door right in his face. She looked to her wrist and just hoped that he didn't cause it to break. Gaara on the other hand was cursing to himself as he walked back to his car; he actually hurt her. There was no way she was going to want to see him again after something like breaking her wrist after trying to heal her.
He would make it up to her.
~Next Morning~
Hinata was wide eyed as she starred into her living room. She was dressed in an oversized shirt and sweat pants with a terrible case of bed head. Her living room was full of flowers that she could only guess were from Gaara since he could easily get into her house. She looked at all the beautiful roses that he seemed to buy her and she was sure that people only got this many flowers of they were in the hospital; she walked over to one of the bouquets and looked at the little tag: 'Sorry for hurting you.'
"Oh…" she looked down at her bandaged wrist, "he thought he broke it….well, he almost did." Hinata almost let a smile go past her lips until she remembered all her high school classes that told her this was something to worry about. Getting hurt and then having your partner apologize with lots of gifts. She pushed it aside since it didn't matter, this relationship wasn't that real. Before Hinata could go back and get ready for work, someone knocked on her door. "Not now…" she groaned and walked over to the door and opened it. Hinata gapped as a man stood with more flowers. "Um...hello?"
"Are you…" he looked to a notecard in his hand, "Hatake, Mimi?" Hinata nodded and then moved aside as he allowed himself in with more flowers. "Uchiha-sama sent these for you," she nodded absentmindedly as she signed for the flowers. "Have a nice day." He walked out and closed the door while he was at it.
Hinata read the card that came with the lotus flowers. "Sorry for what I did, I hope diner will make up for it. Signed, Sasuke Uchiha." Hinata just slumped back in her seat with Sasuke's flowers on one side, and Gaara's on another.
"This is going to be one hard mission."
