Chapter I: The Proposal
To say Hinata is excited will be an understatement for she had been dreaming of this day ever since she laid her eyes on Uzumaki Naruto, her first crush and love and now soon to be husband. She had been staring at her wedding kimono purchased by her father Hyuuga Hiashi which was the most elegant and beautiful wedding kimono on whole Konoha as a gift to her wedding. Nothing but the best for the heir of the Hyuuga Clan he would always say on his head.
It was still 2 hours before the wedding still plenty of time before she prepares for it, Hinata was daydreaming of her possible future with Naruto when she was startled by a sudden thump and chakra presence by her window. Turning to see who was the one responsible for invading her "privacy", she turned byakugan activated but saw not a culprit but the best man for her wedding Uchiha Sasuke who was panting for his breath as if he ran as fast as he could to reach her.
"U..uchiha san what happened why are you here and why do you look so tired?" Concern replaced her byakugan activated eyes for it's not every day you see the legendary avenger panting for breath as if running from someone.
Catching his breath coldly he said, "The dobe…he can't marry you."
Sasuke wasn't sure if he delivered his message well, it wasn't easy saying something like that to a woman who is happily excited waiting for her wedding. As the best man and best friend of Hinata's supposed to be husband saying those words are hard.
Almost to tears and shock upon hearing Sasuke's words Hinata lost her balance and was about to faint but Sasuke was fast enough to catch her.
Hinata laughed darkly before crying to tears, "If this is some kind of joke, I will give you the award of the best joker ever Uchiha san."
He sighed, and did the only thing he can do to console the poor girl by embracing her.
"It isn't a joke Hyuuga san, he's just a stupid dobe that's why he did this to you."
"Will you..at least tell me what happened as to why he can't marry me?" Hinata said looking deeply into Sasuke's obsidian eyes.
Flashback
It was the early morning before Naruto and Hinata's wedding, as the best friend and best man Sasuke had a responsibility to prepare Naruto for his wedding. He knocked at the door to his friend's apartment and calling his name at the same time.
"Hey dobe wake up your wedding is today."
Not long after Naruto opens the door wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist.
He was looking gloom something a man who was supposed to be married mustn't look like. Taking a deep breath Naruto said, "Sasuke I have a favor to ask you as your best friend to tell Hinata that I am sorry I can't marry her."
At first Sasuke tried to process what Naruto just said to him for he was in disbelief on how the nerve of this guy will suddenly decide not to marry someone as innocent as Hyuuga Hinata. Anger rose through him as his obsidian eyes changed into sharingan whose orbs are swirling around his red pupil.
"What! Did I hear what you just said?"
"You heard me right Sasuke, I can't marry Hinata because I don't love her. It is Sakura who I love and last night she admitted her true feelings to me and we…made love through the night." Naruto said with a sad look on his face showing how sorry he was for hurting Hinata of all people.
"Baka!" Angrily Sasuke punched Naruto's face that he was sure will take time to heal before his face will look normal again.
Sakura who was in her night gown rushed to Naruto's side upon hearing a crashing sound and stared at Sasuke angrily.
"What's the big idea Sasuke why did you punch Naruto like that?"
"For being a baka and hurting Hyuuga Hinata's feelings! Be happy together!" He said sarcastically banging the door loudly.
"Damn how will I explain this to Hyuuga san?" He thought to himself before running as fast as he could to the Hyuuga mansion.
End of Flashback
Surprisingly Hinata chuckled upon hearing Sasuke's story.
"Why?" Sasuke asked completely dumbfounded upon hearing Hinata chuckle.
"It's just funny hearing that you punched Naruto kun so hard his face isn't recognizable."
Sasuke smirked surely it is better to see the poor girl smile than cry, but her smile was short lived as she returned to frowning.
"I don't know how to face my family and friends Uchiha san, my father will surely throw a fit knowing that my supposed to be husband abandon me on our wedding day. He might even disown me or worst kill me and Naruto kun." Hinata said crying.
Sasuke stared at the beautiful angel crying in front of him, sure Naruto is a baka for letting this beauty go, but what can he do to help her for once in his life Sasuke was out of options.
"Is there anything I can do to help the wedding is still 2 hours from now, there must be something we can do right?"
Hinata sighed before saying, "There is but it's impossible."
"At least there is a chance tell me." Sasuke didn't know why he felt excited or why he was speaking freely to Hinata whom he never talked to before. Maybe it was pity that makes him do thing he don't usually do.
"I find a new husband to marry me today to save me and my family's name from shame, it could disperse my father's wrath at least." Hinata said felling at lost.
He thought what she just said it was indeed impossible to find a husband in such short notice unless… no it was a stupid idea for it will never work between them. But considering the situation it will benefit both of them, for Hinata will be saved from shame and he will be freed from his stupid fan girls and possible he can rebuild his clan with her. The big question now for Sasuke was will Hinata say yes to his proposition?
Hinata noticing Sasuke's sudden silence pulled his sleeve and asked, "Is there anything wrong Uchiha san?"
"Sasuke."
"Huh?" Hinata asked bewildered at his answer.
"I will be marrying you and soon to be husband at least call me Sasuke, Hyu-Hinata."

This story is set after Sasuke killed Itachi and Danzo and let's just say all akatsuki are dead thanks to Sasuke and Naruto for defeating them. Their age are about 20 and don't worry Neji is alive in this fic and maybe I can put Gaara for a love triangle for I just love Gaara being the third wheel in Sasuhina stories for he just blends within Sasuhina. Don't worry I won't abandon this fic and will be updating regularly for faster updates just leave reviews, I am working on to continue my other fics also.
