If it's you

Disclaimer: I don’t own naruto

Hinata was smoking like a chimney in her room that night, as she walked in circles. He did exactly opposite what she had asked. “Men” she muttered through gritted teeth. She knew about their egos and pride but this man had used her in front of the public and made their image into intimate relationship rather than a business deal like it was suppose to be. He smiled at her in that disgusting way that made her want to punch him. The taste of his lips, lingered on her lips for hours after the brief exchange. She threw her cigarette into the ashtray before lighting another.

“You might set the house on fire, if you are not careful”

She turned around to see Neji standing in the door way, looking in upon her. She couldn’t tell if the concern on his face was about her upcoming marriage or the fact her cigarette was going to light the house ablaze.

“well, that will certainly brighten up my night” she said sarcastically. Neji, that her cousin became this way when ever she smoke, somehow the nicotine strengthen her, made her unaware of authority and relaxed. Yet, she never did to smoke in front of her father. He wondered if she did maybe he wouldn’t have planned this wedding so easily.

“He is manipulative,”

“What else should I know?” Hinata spat out with a hint of annoyance in her tone.

“There is no way this marriage could work”

Hinata gave a dry laugh. She prop down on a chair and leaned back, staring up at the ceiling, thinking that she might burst into tears any seconds, wanting Neji to save her from this situation she was in. She continued to wonder if her fate was the same as her mother, death due to a heart ache. She stubbed her cigarette out and lighting another, she was nearly through with the pack.

“We could always divorce right?” asked Hinata in light hearted toned, puffing out a cloud of smoke.

“Of course, but he had made sure that your father have you sign a pin up”

“So therefore by the time when we are divorce that the financial situation might not be a pretty one. How much money did he really lend us?”

“Close to 6.5 billion and he won’t lend us the money unless he got something in return…”

Hinata stared at Neji in disbelief. How could her father lose so much money? So her father was pretty much, giving her away as a thank you gift for the amount of money he gave to her family.

“Basically I have to marry him,” Hinata said with finality in her tone.

“Basically”

“You are no help”

“There is one way…” Neji begin.

“What?”

“I have a plan,”

Hinata gave her cousin, a strange look then a skepitcal look. Her eyes narrowing at the figure, she heard this phase some where before and then the light bulb went off in her brain.

“That’s sounds like Ten ten.”

“The media has a great fascination about you and Uchiha, especially after tonight, good or bad publicity is publicity, if you happen to be the new face of our company, it would make our sales go up and if our come back is strong enough, I will make sure to buy back all the stock he took over when I take over the company, your father can not possible force into marriage with him”

“Basically stall him any way possible”said, Hinata continuing to puffy smoke in to the air.

“No, I’m asking you to become his weakness”

“...”

Neji looked to his cousin but her face was completely covered by the smoke, impossible to read. But he clearly knew that she was torn between the facts, about staying out of the family business situation or marry a man that she had no feelings towards.

“Good night” He said, reaching out a hand to close her door.

“I’m going out” Hinata said suddenly standing up and grabbing her purse before Neji could even a say word.

“Hyuuga Heritress shares a scandalous kiss with her fiancé and we will show you the startling footage after the break.”

Ino glanced at Naruto as she came to the counter of the bar to tell Azuma her order. It seemed to her that, Naruto was busy; chatting with a few American women while mixing drinks, hardly noticed what being said on the Television. She had only met a few hours ago when she came to work, he looked exactly like his picture and also what the notes left out was he was loud and a little too cheerful for her taste. But over all, he was charming and welcomed her to the place. She meet him along with the other crew of the place consist of mostly male waiters and only one other female waitress named Anko. Right away, she could tell that he was the dumb type towards a girl’s feeling.

“Order’s up”

She looked at Azuma, setting the drinks on the tray before her. She flashed a smiled and took the tray to the waiting customers. It getting more crowded close to midnight, and she only had made two mistakes which were easily forgiven. It was rather tiring switching back and forth before two languages. By the time, the crowd had thinned out; it was close to 1 am in the morning. She slumped to the counter of the bar, feeling exhausted.

“Good job.”

She looked up at Azuma, grinning at her, she sighed with relief. Apparently, the head boss didn’t show up tonight due, being invited to exclusive gambling club.

“How are you getting home?” asked Azuma, wiping glasses and putting it on the rack.

She shrugged; she wondered if she should drive since she was so tired, she might crash it.

“I think train, tonight” she said yawning and stretching her arms above her head.

“Oh really?” a second voice asked from behind her, she glanced behind her, it was Naruto. He was putting away, chairs. She couldn’t help but glance at the sleek muscles on his arm. He was really quite good looking, his blond hair shone in the light, and his eyes were like the ocean in Caribbean’s. His skin was tan from the sun, and his height was just about right, her head came to his shoulders.

“Wanna walk together?” asked Naruto, interrupting her thoughts.

Ino nodded, slightly dumb found, wondering if it was truly this easy to win him. After a few minutes, they left together and headed towards the train station. Ino couldn’t believe how tired she was, that she couldn’t help but yawn and kept bumping her head into Naruto’s shoulder and once she almost fell to the ground and Naruto had caught her just in time before she hit the ground. Finally Naruto stopped and offered to give her a piggy back ride, which she was grateful for and snuggled into the crook of his neck.

“Why did you start working at the Open door?” He asked her as he walked down the path.

“I was asked to” Ino murmured sleepily, unaware that she was actually answering truthful.

“Really by who?” asked Naruto curious.

“My saviour”

Then she grumbled something, in French that he couldn’t understand and fell deep asleep that we came to the train station, he couldn’t wake her when he tried, she hit him and said he was a pig for wanting more. So in the end he gave up and since he didn’t know her address. He decided to bring her to his apartment for the night. As he carried her from the train stop to his home, he let the sounds of nature wash over him. Hinata and her fiancé seemed happy on TV tonight he reminisced. The pang in his chest was aching harder than before, even now he couldn’t figure why it was there when he saw the kiss between the two. He had acted like it didn’t bother him in the least and continued to be the cheerful he was.

Ino’s cheek rubbed against his shoulder, tickling him. He smiled, Ino had a strange charm about her, he had seen, the way she enticed men at the club tonight, it safe to say that more than one man left their number for her but when he told her. She laughed and threw it out into the garbage can and asked him to do the same in the future. He asked why, she shouldn’t these men a chance. She smiled mysterious and said that her heart already belonged to some one at the moment.

When they arrived at his apartment, he had a hard time, opening the door with Ino upon his shoulders and when he finally did. He sighed too tired to lock the door and left it. He walked into the apartment and into his one bedroom and dropped her on to his bed. She rolled over; he sat down beside her for the first time seriously looking at her. She was really quite beautiful; her long platinum blonde hair shone like threads of fine gold. Her long eyelashes rested peaceful against her soft, ivory skin. Her small mouth, pink and pouty that resembled a child, he couldn’t resist but reach out a hand to stroke her cheek.

It was extremely soft and brushed her hair behind her ear. He secretly congratulated the man that had her heart. He continued to remove her shoes and socks to make sure that she was more comfortable during the night, and then proceed to unbutton the top buttons of her shirt. He was suddenly surprised when she threw her arms around his neck, pulling him down on to the bed.

“I missed you” she mumbled into his ear, her breath hot in his ear.

“Ino stop” he muttered trying to untangle his upper body from her arms but it just made it worse, it soon became more tangled with each other. Soon, it looked just like the very picture of two young lover who were about to get intimate. Just then, Naruto heard a gasp from the door way and he turn his head, to catch a split second of dark indigo hair flying and hear silent footsteps and the door being slammed once.

His eyes widen in disbelief, his heart thudded in his chest. When he finally untangled himself from Ino, his mind was racing. He clumsily dialled her number, waiting for her to pick but all he got was the number was currently unavailable. Could it be Hinata? Why was Hinata here so late at night? All these questions continued to circle in his head, making sleep impossible for him.

Hinata ran as fast as her legs can carry her, tears blurring her vision. She cursed herself, why did she come here in the first place. Why did she think that he could help, when he was oblivious busy with some other girl, the image of the two on his bed, made the tears come faster now. When she finally around the corner and collapsed against a wall and slid down, turning to a ball on the ground. She was so stupid, so stupid.

She told herself that she wasn’t in love with him, over and over again. But, it just made the pain in her chest more unbearable. When, she finally stopped crying, her heart still hummed a dull aching pain. She decided that she would go through with Neji’s plan after all. After all she had nothing else to lose.
