I am so sorry for being a late updater, but here we go.

Sasuke opened the door and walked out.
He closed the door behind him, and was sure that hinata was looking at him.
He kept his stoic face, and walked slowly, being sure that she may use her byakugan on him.
However, as he walked a long distance, sasuke smirked.
He was now a little elated.
He is meeting with sakura now.

Hinata felt a little uneasy, she felt her heart beating fast, anxious and uncomfortable.
Her inners were twisting and she felt nauseated.
She went to the kitchen and grabbed water to drink.
She decided to go to TenTen.

Sasuke was standing on a bridge, waiting for naruto and sakura to join.
Sasuke sighed, he heard a distant arguing, he knew instantly its  naruto and sakura.
"Always noisy" he sighed.
"Sasukeee kun...." Sakura ran and hugged sasuke tightly.
Sasuke patted her back.
She unwrapped her arms.
Naruto gave sasuke a fist bump.
"Shall we go?" Naruto said.
Sasuke nodded and all walked towards the ramen shop.

Hinata was passing by the ramen shop, heading to tenten's shop.
She heard laughs and giggles.
This sound's familiar.
She looked to the side and saw team seven chatting and laughing.
Sakura was sitting by sasuke.
Hinata thought to pass and say hi to sakura.
As she entered slowly the ramen shop, she saw sakura leaning onto sasuke, her hand behind his back and whispering something to his ears.
Hinata's eyes widened, as she saw it...
Did sasuke just...smiled to sakura!
Is sasuke...attracted to sakura?
Hinata felt she was throwing up.
She took couple of steps back.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Hinata walked towards the woods.
She was sniffling.

Sasuke's eyes rolled behind his bangs as he saw his wife's silhouette running away.
He eyed sakura and then looked to his ramen, and ate.

Hinata sat down on the ground under the tree.
Why was she feeling that way?
Isn't she suppose to be still living neji?
Why is she mourning over something trivial?
Is she jealous because she is possessive? Or is she jealous because she is egoist, and hates the feeling of something belonging to her, is someone else's!
Is she mad because she is insecure?
Hinata sobbed hysterically, and the tears won't stop going down.
Suddenly, she heard a distant chatting again.
Hinata used her byakugan, and saw it.
Sasuke and sakura, walking inside the woods...ALONE!

Hinata tried to hide her chakra and stood behind a tree.
She tried to drop ears, she heard their whole conversation.

"I am such a failure...and i am so weak...i can't imagine i am now nineteen still couldn't even approach your level..." sakura said.
She dropped onto her knees and tears fell over.
Sasuke sighed and walked towards her.
Their eyes locked.
Sasuke sighed and patted her shoulder.
Suddenly he heard a whimper and the birds flew from behind the trees.
Sasuke and sakura looked over.
He dismissed it then said.
"You are not weak sakura...you are a strong shinobi, and i am sure you can handle it" sasuke said.
He was never the talkative type but now he can actually speak!

Hinata held her mouth, she sealed it to seal her whimpers and sobs.
She waited until they left the woods.
She sat down and cried hysterically.
Its insane.
This feeling...its insane!
Driving her crazy.
After a while of crying and sobbing insanely,
Hinata stood up to her feet and headed back to the uchiha's compound.

Hinata opened the door, luckily the household was empty...sasuke must be still with sakura.
She felt a little relieved yet, upset.
Sasuke hates to spend time with people! Why is sakura now any different!
She looked at her reflection on the mirror! She looks hideous!
She washed her face..all red, eyes bloodshot!
She changed her clothes quickly, when she heard the door creaks, sasuke must have came!
He can't see her like that.
Hinata decided to head to the kitchen quickly, she grabbed an onion and started cutting.
Sasuke heard the voice of knife cutting.
He entered the kitchen to find hinata wearing an apron and cutting onion.
"Tadima" sasuke said.
"Okairi..." hinata said, trying to hide her shaking voice.
Sasuke felt it...hinata was shaking a little bit, she didn't even turn to greet him.
Even though, she may not be loving him, but hinata is decent and kind enough to appreciate her husband.
Sasuke was going to open his mouth to ask if something is wrong.
But he decided against it.
Hinata felt him turning onto his heels and walking away, when she decided to turn around, suddenly, she gasped as he was right above her, towering her and looking into her eyes.
Hinata felt the tension, she can feel his breathing..
Her heart was going to pierce her chest.
Sasuke leaned a little, hinata's eyes widened, his face was now inches away from her, their eyes kept on locking, until suddenly, he reached for a tomato.
He grabbed it and turned around, walking away eating the fruit.
Hinata was shaking.
That bastard...he was teasing her.
Her tears fell again! For an instant she was angry, upset! She thought he'd ask, whats wrong! She thought he'd kiss her! She hoped he would kiss her! But now she is disappointed...why was she disappointed!!!
And how dare he! Wasn't he with sakura!
Is he playing both of them?
Hinata bite her lips until they bled.
She sighed and finished the dinner.

Sasuke was lying on the porche topless.
He had a scroll over his torso.
Hinata walked inside the porche to find him sleeping.
She stared at his torso... this refined body, pale skin, it seemed smooth...his hair  was shining and fanned around his head.
His face seemed serene...
"Are you going to keep staring" his voice came like a struck of lightening and hinata shrugged.
"I...di..didn't mean...dinner is served" she said and turned around to head to the dinning room.
Sasuke got up and smirked.
He followed her to the room.
He sat across from her.
They sat and started dining, the whole atmosphere was agitating for hinata.
Silence is a killer.
She had many things she wanted to say but she couldn't.
After some quiet time, hinata decided to break the silence.
"How was the day with team seven?" She asked.
"Noisy" he answered, not looking back to her.
Hinata was silent again, then decided to ask.
"Anything special?" She asked.
He shook his head.
Hinata decided to ask finally.
"How is sakura san..?" She asked.
Sasuke stopped eating and looked at her.
"Sakura?"  He retorted.
"I..i mean..yes..she..she" hinata stammered but sasuke interrupted.
"She changed, and i like the change.." sasuke said.
Hinata's eyes widened.
She looked down.
"Do you...i mean..." she wasn't sure to ask.
"Like her...?" He asked and hinata raised her face, and eyes widened, she was shocked.
She nodded slowly.
"Maybe...i think i..." but sasuke couldn't continue as hinata interrupted.
"I understand...then, if so? Why didn't you chose her as your bride?" She asked slowly, her breath was elevated, her heart beats were insane.
"I thought you'd bring me better heirs..." he answered bluntly, hinata's mouth gaped.
The tears started falling uncontrollable.
Her voice shaken,
"I...i und..understand" she choked.
Hinata stood up.
Sasuke looked at her.
"E..excuse me...i need to use the bathroom" hinata said and took her plate.
She turned around.
Sasuke was still eying her indifferently.
Of course! How would he feel anything.
Hinata entered the bathroom and in the bathtub.
Hinata  collapsed and cried.
