(Sasuke POV) (A/N cuz why the hell not)

I was waiting in an uncomfortable kimono for Hinata to leave her room so we can go to the ball her clan is making her go to. Zabuza and the bastard Neji were able to stay in their normal clothes and unlucky for me, I have to dress up alongside Hinata. When she asked me on a date, I was shocked but then she mentioned it was for a mission. It was a massive disappointment, but tonight I am going to be the best date and show her that she loves me like I love her. 

I need to make her mine, I was fuming after she kissed that lazy ass Shikamaru. That's 3 people she's kissed and none of them have been me. She's mine and it's been set like that since my fathers proposal when we were 4. She's my best friend, one of the last pieces of my family and I love her. She's an idiot so luckily I'm posing as her date so other idiots don't get the wrong idea.

Hinata's door opened and she waltzed out of her room practically glowing. She was wearing a dress that accentuated every curve of her body and was so beautiful. Her hair was flowing down her body in waves glistening beautifully like how I like it. She was amazing and she was my date. My mouth was dry and I couldn't find any words to express her beauty. She locked eyes with me and had on the mischievous grin I knew and feared. I gave her a smirk in return, walking up to her side so we could leave together. After a bit of banter between her Zabuza, and Neji; she finally turned back to talk to me.

"Wow." I mumbled out. She smirked.

"I know I'm just that hot! Thanks for admitting it." She replied smugly.

"I was saying wow because you actually look like a nice person, not the freak you are."

"Fuck off." Her lips pushed out into a pout and I pat her head condescendingly relishing in the feeling of her soft hair. "Duckbutt, did ya figure out the sword pattern Zabuza was teaching you?" I looked down at her and she laughed. "Whatever, I forgot you're not Naruto. Mr-I-memorize-everything-instantly."

"Hn." She grabbed my hand and started swinging it back and forth mindlessly.

"What kind of food do you think they'll have? There will be food right. Oh I'm so pumped for super rich people food! I bet there are so many foods we haven't been able to try living in Konoha!"

"Hn probably." We made it to the gate entrance of the ballroom, it was massive and decorated unnecessarily extravagant. Everyone was dressed up as much as we were and there were lots of older people talking to one another about business, I noticed some shinobi who were off duty like Hinata but there were a lot of what seemed to be stuck up Feudal Lords and noble families. Hinata stopped her goofiness and weaved her dainty hand through my arm. She straightened out and I tightened my hold on her when I felt her shake a bit from nerves. I leaned down to her ear and whispered to her.

"Don't be nervous dumbass. You're not that much of an idiot, you'll be fine." She enhanced her hand with chakra and squeezed hard. I grunted in pain and she gave me a grateful smile.

"I'm not nervous... I'm trembling in excitement." She threw my line back in my face and I rolled my eyes, a small smile threatening to show.

"It sounded better when I said it."

(Hinata POV)

I stifled a laugh and pushed Sasuke's head away from mine. Ken came up to Sasuke and I a creepy smile on his face. He was dressed in the most extravagant fabrics and covered in jewelry to display his wealth. He grabbed my free hand and kissed it, I tensed slightly but kept a polite smile on as I withdrew my hand. I gave a slight bow, Sasuke following along.

"Ahh Hinata-hime you truly are a sight for sore eyes, the most beautiful blossoming woman here tonight." Sasuke gripped tighter on to me and Neji's chakra fluctuated slightly in KI, they all got the same creepy feeling from Ken that I did.

"You flatter me Ken-sama. The ballroom is beautiful I cant wait to enjoy everything you have to offer tonight." He laughed and led us in, promising to have an important conversation about alliances later. Neji and Zabuza huddled themselves in the corner so they could see everything but not have to be involved. I dragged Sasuke to the assortment of luxurious foods set out. I skipped past the alcohol and went straight to the Bakudan, piling desserts on top of it to enjoy. We found an area to stand and eat, a few people came over to interact with me. 

All of them were people who wanted to do business or have been doing business with my clan. Trades like protection for goods and such. It was exhausting keeping up my tirade and to not get caught into the traps they set with their talking. I managed to find entertainment with Sasuke. We would find people talking and make up our own conversations of what they would be talking about. My favorites were doing short, old, fat men who seemed to reek of pride and infidelity.

Kaneki was standing alone looking pissed at the world, so I left Sasuke to go talk for a bit with Zabuza while I went over to Kaneki. He's the main reason I'm here so I should probably talk to him. His eyes flickered up from his drink to me, sizing me up, then back to his drink with a scoff.

"What do you want?" He asked in annoyance. I leaned against the wall next to him, eating a stick of Dango.

"This party is so fucking boring and by the look on your face this kind of thing isn't your speed. It's filled to the brim with assholes who are either cheating on their spouses or their taxes. Or some are like me and are sent here on behalf of their arrogant clan elders. I'm here to supposedly meet you so thats what I'm going to do." He looked up at me in surprise then gave a sly smile.

"Little princess has a mouth on her. I thought girls like you loved this kind of thing."
"Girls like me like to fight, not act like an angel and talk business. I'm a ninja, not a princess."

"Ahh, so my father wasn't lying when he said you were a strong Kunoichi. You don't look the part much." He brought his cup to his lips and took slow gulps of the alcohol, eying em the whole time.
"Maybe, maybe not. Looking the part doesn't matter, my actions speak for themselves." I brought out a fist and I was grinning. He doesn't hate me, and even if his dad is a creep, he seems cool. "What do you like to do for fun?" Kaneki and I got into deep conversation, he was kind of an asshole but interesting to talk to. 

At some point, Ken came over and convinced Kaneki and I to dance together. I'm pretty sure we are friends now, thank God I could find something to make him like me, the tongue lashing I'd get if an important benefactor in my clan would hate the new heir would be miserable. Kaneki left for a bit and Ken swooped in to talk. He hinted to my marriage with Kaneki if I was interested, which I turned down quickly no matter the benefits it would supposedly have.

Ken was creepy and the way he talked gave me the idea that he was a selfish man, he wanted something more than just an alliance with a strong clan for his safe keeping. There was no way he is good, he reminds me too much of Gato. Everything about him was off and he kept alluding to something but it was so subtle I could never figure it out. He was a bad guy, but he was intelligent. Almost too much so. He laid out verbal traps for me to set myself up in giving him information and agreements to unnecessary trades. 

It took everything to avoid them, he knew I was playing an act and was trying to push me to break it. He threw out questions and stories and I was getting overwhelmed by his presence, how my clan deals with a scumbag like him, I'll never know. I know why they wanted me to meet him of all people. He's smart and if I was any less headstrong, I'd give up on the idea of leading my clan if it would mean talking to people like him. He was intimidating and manipulative and I could do nothing but avoid getting crushed by him.

Sasuke finally rid himself of the girls around him and pulled me away from Ken. I dragged him to the dance floor so we could have fun and dance. He placed his hands on my waist and I put mine around his neck.

"If I had to spend another minute talking to him, I swear I was going to punch him through a fucking wall. He's such an asshole, Agh. There's something so creepy about him but I can't put my finger on what." I huffed out annoyed but grateful to him for the save.

"You're welcome." He spun me around and back into his arms. We continued swaying to the beat.

"This reminds me of when we were little and I had to take lessons. You hated me back then and when we had to dance together, we couldn't stop fighting." I laughed out in reminiscence.

"What makes you think I like you now?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow, his tone unchanging in the question. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"You know you love me."

"Hn whatever. Don't start making up any of your crazy dance moves this time, there is only so much I can compensate for." I gasped and put one hand over my heart in fake hurt at Sasuke's blatant jab at my dance skills. He sent me a small smile in victory, but it was short lived.

"You wound me my dear duckbutt. Everyone know's I'm the best dancer out of our duo. You can have the win for being the hottest since I know the entirety of the girl population would agree, but no way can you take my dance crown away." I stated so over dramatically throwing my head against Sasuke in anguish. He hummed and I could feel it vibrate through his chest.

"You finally admit I'm hot?" I rolled my eyes and deadpanned at him.

"No duh, You're an Uchiha its in your blood to be hot dumb ass. I'm not blind." His teasing was gone and his features softened a bit. HE pulled me closer to him and spoke lowly.

"Hn. You are blind if you think you're not beautiful. Everyone here would agree with me, you are the most amazing one here." (A/N I feel like Sasuke could be super smooth if he wants. Like he's an awkward dick sometimes but so possessive that he would pull out the shots when he needs to. Aka to win Hinata after she already has kissed Shika and Itachi) I gaped in pure shock at the smooth words that just came out of his mouth. Oh my Kami, Sasuke Uchuha, my best friend who calls me a freak Sasuke Uchiha called me pretty. What the Fuck, I never ever expected him to say something like this. Does he like me, or is he being nice?

"I-I. what?" Sasuke was about to respond to my confusion when Kaneki butted in, grabbing one of my hands and asking me to dance. I really needed to finish my conversation with Sasuke but at the same time I was terrified of what he would say. I opened my mouth to decline and ask for one more song, but Kankei took that as a yes instead and pulled me away. Kaneki handed me a drink as we danced, I drank a sweet juice while he had something that smelt of hand sanitizer. He told me more of his plan to take over the kingdom when he is married and how he is going to change everything. 

He seemed so passionate and I was so immersed I didn't notice the haziness of my mind. People began to leave and when I turned to find my team, they were nowhere in sight. Something felt off but my mind was getting to fuzzy for me to really think straight. Ken came over and offered Kaneki to take me home to not get caught in any trouble. I agreed and when we were half way there, I stumbled and fell over into Kaneki.

"Shh, just relax I have you. Let yourself succumb to sleep." Everything was blurry but I could vividly see Kaneki's red eyes and wide lecherous smile.

"You fuck- ugh bastar... wha did you do to..." Everything went black and I was out.

I woke up distorted and foggy but when my vision cleared, Zabuza Sasuke and Neji were all chained and gagged in front of me. The chains had to be chakra suppressors and whatever they did had to have been strong to take out all three of them. Ken and Kaneki walked out of their hiding.

"You fucking bastards what the hell did you do to them. When I get out of here I'm going to." Ken cut me off with a chuckle.

"Do you like my trap I set. You focused so much on what I was saying to all of you and on everyone's actions around you, you forgot to check your food. Everyone else was given the antidote to my sedative but you four. Ahh for such strong ninja, you sure went down easy."

"What the fuck do you want." I hissed out, my head still throbbing.

"You my dear. Money like ours doesn't happen just by being good now does it. See, I've gone and gotten myself into trouble with some strong people in the underground and I can't seem to find a way to pay them back but if I have the Hyuga clan at my service, I can take them out without spending anything."

"Go fuck yourself. My clan would never help lowlives like you."

"Oh but you will. You're going to marry Kaneki, he's smitten with you already and promised if he could have you, he'd do anything for me. Once that happens, he will take the crown and become the man in charge of the Hyuga clan. His poor little wife will fall ill and stay locked away and Kaneki will humbly take charge. He will have all those strong ninja at his disposal to fix the problems his dear old father made. Of course, if you refuse Kaneki can always kill the three you came with. The black haired one first, he seems partially fond of you." 

Sasuke and Neji struggled against their chains and Zabuza let out a ferocious growl that the gag did nothing to muffle. This situation was no way in our favor and I would not let any of them die. If Kaneki is so blinded by his infatuation with me that he's willing to submit to the father he hates, that might be the only saving grace I have. Thank Kami for crime shows, Ino, and Lady Seiko cuz thats the only thing that's going to help me right now. I forced the sneer off my face and put on a scared look.

"Don't fucking touch them." I forced the sneer off my face and put on a sad and scared pout as I turned my gaze to Kaneki. "I-I don't understand why you would join your father now. I would have married you if you asked."

"You told me how you hated the arranged marriages and wanted to marry for love my dear Hinata-hime, I know you would not marry me without some persuasion." He stepped closer to me.

"You're wrong. I believed that too but when we danced. Oh when we danced, I felt something I've never felt before. You were smart and funny and kind. I fell for you then. You could have just asked, I would have said yes. You don't have to hurt my friends. Please. Stop your father and I will go with you, you cant let him hurt them. You said how you wanted to change the kingdom, change it with me. Forget your father, let his debt catch up to him and we can rule over a strong clan and powerful Kingdom together." Kaneki was right in front of me right now, Ken was pissed and shouting at Kaneki to not listen to my lies. Tears were pouring out of my eyes and I wanted to laugh at how messed up the situation is. If I cant convince Kaneki of anything, we are as good as dead.

"Prove it my darling." He whispered against my lips. I leaned forward as much as my bindings would let me and I kissed him. He was so intense and pushing for more. I told him to untie my hands so I could feel him. I had him trapped. He listened and allowed my hands free, I put one in his hair and the other around his neck. 

I listened as Ken stalked closer to us, ready to pull Kaneki off. Kaneki pressed his tongue against mine and as soon as Ken was close enough, I bit down as hard as I could. The coppery taste of blood filled my mouth and Kaneki pulled out with a startled cry. I wrapped my hands around his neck, holding him in the perfect position to break it. I spit some of the blood out of my mouth and grinned a bloody smile.

"Take one more step and he dies. You can't have your little plan if the main piece is gone."

"You wouldn't kill him."

"It's in my job description, I kill for a living."

"You stupid little bitch, what pert of hostage don't you understand. You agree to my terms or your friends die."

"They are Shinobi, every mission could be their last. Giving up their lives to save others, a kingdom from your crazy ass is nothing but honorable. Also, you cant kill them, I have the cards now." I pulled the Knife from Kaneki's pants hand. "Sempai, catch!" I threw the knife and it was on target, barely. It went through Zabuza's hand but that gave him access to it and broke himself free, quickly freeing Neji and Sasuke as well.

Quickly they took down Ken and tied Kaneki with him.

"You broke the contract, it's your head Hinata Hyuga."

"See, the best part is I did nothing of the sort. Kaneki and I shared a passionate kiss when I was startled by his father and bit down on accident. The only person I caused physical harm to was Zabuza-sempai. But you on the other hand, threatened the heiress one of the noble clans of Konoha as well as one of the last members of the Uchiha clan, you admitted to your dirty work as a Feudal Lord, and I have access to mind reading jutsu that would confirm my story. You have nothing on me but I have enough to have your sorry ass executed." I laughed out with a happy grin just to annoy him further.

"You bitch, I'll kill you." He shouted, pulling against his chains. Neji swiftly punched him back to the ground.

"Fuck you too asshole. Next time don't threaten my friends." I gave a little wave and was escorted out by Sasuke. He's supposed to take me home while Zabuza and Neji take care of things and send notice to the Leaf.

We were riding in the cart reading our scrolls in a slightly awkward. I had my head propped up on Sasuke's lap as he used one hand to brush my hair.

"This is definitely a sign that we should never go to fancy things."

"Hn. You were smart, smarter than I thought you could be." He teased slightly, it was lacking vigor though. Something was bothering him.

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day." I put down the scroll to look at him.

"You are such a freak." I giggled a bit. He sighed deeply. "It seemed too real. I hated that feeling." His fist clenched tighter around his scroll.

"What feeling?"

"I was helpless, you had to kiss that freak because I failed to protect you. You hd to lower yourself to protect me again. Damn it, even Naruto could have done a better job than I did."

"it's not your fault. he got all of us. That dude was smarter than I gave him credit for."

"I'm weak, I always train to be stronger and catch up, to be able to protect you so you dont have to protect me, to save Itachi but I fail something so easy and have you dirty yourself to help me." He shouted at me in pure Sasuke anger. His sharingan was ablaze unconsciously.

"You're such a fucking idiot sometimes. You're not weak not even close. I wouldn't have brought you along if you were weak. We all got screwed like Idiots so stop blaming yourself, this doesn't show your strength. You will save Itachi, you protect me all the time but that doesn't mean I wont protect you too. I'd do whatever it took to save you." I was staring him in the eyes, gripping his shirt in my fist incase I needed to punch some sense into him for thinking he was weak for getting trapped in something that got all of us.

"That's not the point. I was useless, I had to sit and watch you confess your love and kiss another guy to protect us." My eyes widened at his reasoning. He wasn't just mad because we got caught in a stupid trap. We were closer than before and I only realized it now. My face started to heat up a bit, the intensity was different than when we normally would be this close. It was different from the many times we were together as kids.

"Yeah, that was pretty gross for me, I can still taste his blood." I cringed at the thought of biting his tongue so hard.

"I'm going to fix what he did to you." He murmured, eyes still blazing and passionate he was angry with himself and Kaneki.

"Wha-" His lips cut me off kissing me in the passionate way I could only describe as Sasuke. All of his teasing was gone and replaced with the possessiveness and love only an Uchiha could feel. It was deep, slow, and passionate but gentle like he didn't want to break me. His lips were warm and soft but his fury and need to cleanse me of Kaneki was obvious as he traced his tongue on my lower lip and plunged it into my mouth. He was hesitant and awkward at first, but got more intense as the kiss went on. It was slow and passionate like he was expressing the words he refused to say. I wanted to back off and talk about everything but I couldn't it was so consuming. I was shocked that Sasuke of all people was kissing me. 

I drifted off into the kiss and he gently prodded my mouth with his tongue tracing over everything it could reach. My hands drifted from his chest to tangle in his soft hair and allowed him to be in control as he let his anger out. He bit down a pulled on my lip slightly, as he tilted his head and kissed me deeper. Finally he pulled away, eyes half lidded and a small smile on his lips. I sucked in a breath, trying to gather my bearings. He pulled me against him as I fell asleep in the familiar comfort of his arms, the taste of Kaneki replaced with the cinnamon taste of Sasuke. For the moment I pushed away the inner turmoil I had with the situation, dazed by his kiss.

Sand Boy,

I can't wait to visit, I will be there next week! The ball went as expected, I got drugged and had to fight some dudes so that was so not fun, but it ended well. I think you feel warm because you need human affection like everyone else, I'm no expert at that though. Naruto said he'd come so if you can make his room orange. A raccoon is an animal, I'll find a picture to show you since Shukaku looks like one. i'm so pumped that you are on your way to Kazekage, I wouldn't be surprised if you became it by the end of the year. I don;t like my elders much either, they are old and wrinkly and devious assholes who need to be taught a lesson. Being Kazekae is all on you, I'm just glad I can be there to support you and cheer you on. 

I kinda figured you got a new shirt and pants since that is clothes, but I guess I will just have to see in person what they look like. I've never had Salted tongue so you're going to have to eat some with me. It sounds weird but I'm willing to try it. We can also have a drink party and go around your village and try drinks until you find one you like. You will have to tell me more happy memories you have, I want to know so much more about you. You remain a mystery, its cute but I don't like real life mysteries that I can't solve. My favorite dessert is a tie between Dango, Daifuku, and Mochi. What's yours? My dream is to be strong enough to protect people and give everyone a chance at a better life. I want to fly before I die, I don't care how but flying sounds so freeing. I am doing my bets to be safe, even if it's not always that easy cuz bad guys just love to do dumb things. What is your dream? What is a game you have never played that you want to play?See you soon!!

Love,

The super confused at the moment Hinata

A/N: So Duckbutt finally kissed hinata, enraged that he watched another man kiss her. Some people have said she's kissed too many so fast but like normal life some people kiss a lot of people and it can mean nothing. That's how I feel. I don't think a kiss always means that much or you don't have to be in a relationship to kiss someone. Like I've kissed a lot of people and it only means something when you want it to...even then I don't feel bad about the others.

Question: What are your top favorite Naruto characters?

Answer: Mine are Deidara, Hidan, Naruto, Kakashi, Madara, and Jiraiya. I love a lot of them and really everyone not on the list is pretty up there too (except canon Sasuke and Sakura I hate them both and always will).
