Long time no update... yeah I know... But here's a little something.

PART 7

“Hinata-chan, come on… you must come
with!” Tenten whined with big brown puppy eyes.

“Why?” Hinata asked as she stirred in
her tea cup. ‘Must face the puppy eyes…. Must face them with firm decision
not to go… must face them… ARGGGH I hate puppy eyes!!!’

“Because.. because this club-party is
thee THING of the year!” Temari said as she sat down on the other side of the
shy Hyuuga.

“B-but I don’t like…” Hinata began.

“For us? Pleeeeease!!” Tenten begged
with even more watery and large puppy eyes.

“B-But I d-don’t like b-big crowds…”
Hinata bit her lip. ‘I must resist puppy eyes, I must resist puppy eyes… I
must resist…!!’

“Don’t worry Hinata-chan, you’ll be with
us and Gaara, Lee, Kankurou will be there too.”

“You mean Lee-san?” Hinata raised a
sceptical eyebrow. Lee and a dance floor often resulted in very embarrassing
moments.

“Yes, Lee-san, but don’t worry – it will
be fun…. please come with us. You know you want too,” Tenten blinked even more
puppy eyed.

“I don’t know,” Hinata mumbled.

“It doesn’t matter Hinata-chan… you’ll
come with us no matter what ever you say,” Temari said as she took a firm hold
of the younger woman’s arm and dragged her to the blonde’s room above the little
shop.

Hinata just sighed. Whenever Tenten and
Temari ganged up there were very few or perhaps even nobody that could stand a
chance of getting away.

Temari provided with clothes and Tenten
helped out with the makeup. Before Hinata could really do anything she was
dressed up and looked like a real man-killer. And yet it was still all Hinata.

Temari looked together with Tenten over
their handy work. Hinata had been given a black slimmed dress that reached her
knees. It was slightly slitted but not indecently so. The dress was sleeveless
but a black silky shawl made sure that the shy little Hyuuga wouldn’t feel too
naked. Tenten had given her just a very light make up, brushes that would just
highlight Hinata’s other features. 

“Now you’re ready to take on the world,
Hinata-chan,” said Temari and flung her arm around the pale little heiress.

“Yeah, you’ll wipe the floor clean with
your beauty,” Tenten flared out.

“Eeep… A-ano… I…” Hinata began
protesting.

“Don’t worry my little sister in my
heart. We’ll be there to cover you,” Temari smiled but looked over the trembling
Hinata to make sure that Tenten had got everything under control. A firm nod
from the weapon crazed girl was enough.

‘Good, Sasuke-san has been invited
too and he will come because he’ll know that Hinata will be there too.’
Temari thought as she looked at Hinata once more.

Sasuke was irritated as he looked over
his reflection in the mirror for a last time. Waiting in his kitchen was that
homicidal Gaara, his brother Kankurou and the not so sane Rock Lee. They had
come to Sasuke’s estate just an hour ago demanding that he would take a shower,
dress up casually and come with them to a club.

At first the young Uchiha had no idea
how he would explain to them that he didn’t “do” clubbing. He had tried once and
it was enough. It had ended in a catastrophe. And a large number of bruises
because he had practically been mauled by a horde of females. So NO Uchiha
Sasuke did not go clubbing.

That was until that little slithering
red haired man had said that Hinata would go to that very club the screwed up
gang was inviting him to.

‘I can’t leave her alone with these
crazy people… and in a club. No, that is not acceptable. I have to go to make
sure she’s ok.’ He thought as he took once last
look in the mirror. Black jeans and a black shirt would have to do he decided.

As Sasuke came down to the kitchen he
saw the trio feasting on his beer storage.

“Ahh, look Cinderella-san has decided to
join us,” Kankurou smirked as he raised the beer can to his lips to goad down
the last sips.

“Sasuke-san, you look good, like a
budding flower of the youthful flame!”

‘I’ll kill that boy!!’
Sasuke thought and glared at Lee.

Gaara’s green eyes swept over Sasuke a
few times before he rose to his feet and walked up to the Uchiha.

“The only reason I’m doing this is
because she likes you. Hurt her and I will use a blunt knife to cut out your
intestines and use as decorations for my next sculpture, Uchiha-san,”  Gaara
said as he moved passed Sasuke and out the door.

“Ehh… call a cab perhaps?” Kankurou
tried to mend.

Lee nodded and reached for his cellphone
to call a taxi.

Sasuke was only catching a few of the
words the bowl cut young man used as he called a taxi for them all. All he could
think of was to get to that club before Hinata and when she arrived he would
make sure that no other man came within five feet of her.

“You love her right?”

Sasuke’s head shot up when he heard
Gaara’s voice.

“W-what?”

“You love her?”

“Yes, I love her.”

“Good. But you’ll remember what I said.
And I mean it.”

Sasuke swallowed.

“She’s very precious too me. She’s the
only one that understood me when I went through a tough time. I love her too,
like a sister, but I will protect her if called for.”

“I understand, and I will do the same,”
Sasuke said.

“Good.”

Silence.

“And you’re really not good enough for
her.”

Sweat drop.
