Not Right For You

Chapter 7

Hinata

"I think we have met all of them. You can join your friends now, Hinata." My father says and I nod.

I start to walk away when father stops me again.

"Wait. There is one more person." He says looking at someone who just entered the party.

I frown as I take in his appearance. He looked older than most here, had weird white, long hair. It looked weird cause he also wore a suit.

I glance around and see Uncle Fugaku also approaching the man with Sasuke and Itachi in tow.

The older man grins when he sees Father. They greet each other and then the older man greets the Uchiha family.

"Nice to see you, Mikoto. Your younger son?" He points to Sasuke.

"Hai." She says with a sweet smile.

He pats him. "I am seeing him for the first time. And her too." He says pointing at me.

I step forward and bow, politely introducing myself. Sasuke does it too and we stand back.

"I am surprised you were able to make it. You didn't RSVP." Fugaku says.

"You know me. I am not the one for confirming my arrival. I just drop in." He says with a hearty chuckle.

"Well I look forward to sharing some glasses of sake with you." Itachi smiles while his father sends him a glare but he pays no heed.

"Sure thing young man. It's been a long time since you visited. A lot to catch up. But your father is still stiff as ever. Fugaku, should I tell them stories of your youth? When you were a young  romantic and not so stiff and sullen. Mikoto can support me." He laughs and I see Sasuke's father embarrassed.

That's a first.

"And Hiashi. Oh it's been so long. The last time I met you was before...." He trails off with a sad look on his face.

"Yes. I am really sorry for your loss. Minato and Kushina are always missed at such gatherings. He was a really good businessman and an even better friend." My father says placing a hand on his shoulder.

I wondered who both of them were. Maybe this older man's son and daughter in law who are no more.

"You have been managing the business well. It's only a matter of time their son takes over. He is of age, right?" Fugaku asks.

The older man's face lights up again at the talk of this 'son'.

"Yeah. That brat is in college now."

"Speaking of, is he here with you? I have not seen the boy for so long." Hiashi says.

"Actually he is. He was against it but I forced the brat, anyway. It's time I start forcing these gatherings on him. It's important. Also I just love to torture that brat." He said gleefully. He glances behind surprised.

"Why is he not here? That gaki! He dare not fool me and leave me here, stranded." He mutters annoyed and takes his phone out and calls with a frown on his face.

"Where are you?!" He snaps as the other side comes to life.

"Nani? Come inside you baka."

"Stop arguing and saying 'dattebayo' every chance you get."

He fumes as he hears the response from the other side.

"Stop calling me an old man and that other word..."

"You mean perverted." A voice says from behind him. The old man turns and my jaw pretty much drops.

"You brat! I told you..." The old man starts to yell but the guy waves his hand off like it's nothing.
