Admitting the Truth

Walking away from the screen door, Naruto was grinning at Neji. “Do you think that worked on her?” Naruto said a cheeky grin on his face, “I think she might stop by later!”

“If not Naruto, you did a wonder to Sasuke-Sama.” Neji said as they walked toward his Neji‘s usual spot underneath the huge willow tree in the garden, “He didn’t look happy that I was hanging with you one bit…which is unusual, even for him.”

“Well I hope So Neji.” Naruto replied throwing his hands over his head as the two walked, “because that would be great!”

“We’ll have to see Naruto. This isn‘t going to be easy after all.”

“Neji should’ve known better to let that Kyuubi boy wander around today, especially since I told him about this” Hiashi Hyuuga said sitting down calmly and finishing off his plate. “This courtship must be perfect between you two.” Hinata and Sasuke nodded, however they were still caught up on the fact that Naruto had come out of nowhere to surprise them both.; Hinata by inviting her to hang with him, and Sasuke by hanging out with Neji very closely. Once everyone finished their meals, Hinata gathered the plates and brought them away, leaving Sasuke and Hiashi alone.

“Uchiha Sasuke.” Hiashi said plainly once Hinata left the room, “I’m sorry that this arranged marriage was sprung on you suddenly as it was. We were hoping that your brother would consider coming back to Konhona to carry on his family tradition despite the fact that he was in Atasuki. I should’ve been the one to tell you many years ahead of time.” Sasuke frowned deeply. The Head Hyuuga knew better than that, but he chose not to disrespect him. “I understand.” Sasuke said plainly, “Though it’s not what I want, I will go through with this marriage Hiashi-sama. Your daughter Hinata will be in good hands with me.”

Hiashi Hyuuga sighed thankfully. “I hope you will not betray my expectations either Uchiha” He said as Hinata reentered the room , “Though I have frowned upon my daughter before, she is still a delicate flower. If you hurt her, I will not hesitate to hurt you either.” At these words Hinata couldn’t help but turn a deep shade of crimson. Her father did truly care about her well being…But why would he force her into this marriage? Hiashi stood up quickly and bowed at Sasuke. “It is time to take my leave,” he said calmly, “I will be back within the hour for you Uchiha to return you to the outside of my estate. Use your time well.” Hiashi then left through the screen door, leaving Hinata and Sasuke alone.

The two sat in silence, gazing into each others eyes; Hinata’s timid, and Sasuke’s distant. After a couple of minutes Hinata was the first to speak. “I’m glad that you were able to come tonight Sasuke.” She said her face still flushed with color, “I know that this is something unusual for you as well.”

“Tell me about it” Sasuke said crossing his arms abruptly, “Though it’s something I don’t want Hinata, I will go through with this marriage.” Hinata cocked her head to the side abruptly, and It reminded Sasuke of Naruto…regretfully anyway. “I don’t understand Sasuke-kun.” She said timidly, “Do you not like me?”

“It’s not that at all Hinata!” Sasuke said getting nervous, “I mean…It’s Just…how do I explain this?” Hinata lowered her head shamefully as words stammered out of Sasuke Uchiha’s mouth. “…It’s like… uh…” Sasuke continued, “Well you’re a beautiful girl Hinata-chan, it’s just I’m not the person you want to spend the rest of your life with…. There are definitely other people in the village who’d rather be your husband.”

Hinata raised her head abruptly. “I understand!” She said moving a piece of her hair away from her face, “I just wish father would understand as well.” Hinata looked toward the paper screen to her left. “There is another I wish to be my husband…but I’m sure that he doesn’t know I exist…let alone would allow it”

Immediately Sasuke knew she was talking of Naruto. She had been obsessed with the kid almost as long as he himself had been…but Naruto and his thick skull had never noticed the pale-eyed girl.

“You mean Naruto Hinata-chan?” Sasuke said crossing his arms.

“Well though I like Naruto-kun,” Hinata said blushing feverishly, “I feel that he wouldn’t be able to care for me as my father wishes. I hope to find someone like my cousin to care for me.”

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her accusingly. “Are you saying that you love your cousin Hinata?”

Hinata’s face grew to a deeper shade of crimson. “No! Absolutely not! That’s incest! I couldn’t! My family would be dishonored!”

Sasuke’s eyebrow grew higher. If Hinata felt the same as he did about this marriage, now was the time to try to get out of it. “Why Don’t you stand up for yourself and tell your father how you feel?” Sasuke replied standing up now, “It’s your life…and heck, I have a life too… why should we be confined to each other? I mean, obviously we’ll be disowned, but-”

The screen door opened and Hiashi appeared. Sasuke wasn't sure how long the Head Hyuuga was listening, if at all. “Time to go Uchiha.” He said plainly. Sasuke looked at Hinata, calmed himself down and bowed respectively. “Thank you for dinner Hinata.” Sasuke said softly, “I will see you soon.” Sasuke abruptly left, leaving only The head Hyuuga and Hinata with her thoughts.
