Sera and Sasuke: FINE!
(Alternate Universe)
It was enough for my daughter to find the man of her dreams while in college for four years and of course me being myself I didn't like him. It wasn't that he was an ingrate not in the least. He is an Uchiha, top of his class and well rounded with a good career in his family business, but still, I didn't like him for my daughter.
So you can imagine my shock to find my daughter in my office looking rather happy instead of her introverted self. I should have realized from the dreamy stare from secretary that this day would not go in my favor.
"Hello father." She smiled at me happily and I notice for the first time that she has changed her hair style, no longer up in it's bun which she usually has when at work, it's down, windswept.
"Hinata." I say walking slowly to my desk to set down my metal briefcase, for some reason it feels like I am being stalked by a predator but I shake it off. This is my shy little Hinata not some evil beast out to kill me. "Make this quick daughter, I have work to do."
She smiles sweetly at me.
"Alright." Again I wonder how I could feel intimidated by my shy daughter.
"Go on."
"I'm getting married."
My eyes widened and my heart beings to ache…
"Thanks…nice?" She is out to kill me!
I watch her emotions change from curious to shocked to happy. She smiles wider if possible and for a moment I don't see the twenty year old woman in front of me but my little Hinata wearing a yellow sundress and her mothers straw hat. I smile at the version of my little child until I hear the grown Hinata speak and am taken from the image of the past and thrown back into the present.
"Father?"
I nod.
"So you agree to this? Father, you are happy?"
Is that what I agreed to? I don't know what to say, asking my late wife what I should do and I saw her give me a disproving look as though to tell me to get over it, even in my mind she's not on my side!
"Yes…I am…happy…"
She didn't catch my hesitation and before I knew it was hugging me tightly. She rarely did this as our family was, how her mother put it, up tight.
"Thank you Daddy. I'm so happy!"
Now, while she was hugging me creating a moment I had to think clearly. Hinata, heir to our clan and family company was getting married to and Uchiha, now to the normal business man that was quite a good thing. Merging companies equals more money and what not but I had to think more in perspective. My daughter, my first born daughter was getting married and taken away from me.
I would have none of that, no sir.
"Now see here daughter I-"
"Oh daddy I am so happy that….OH!" She suddenly looked surprised. "We've never been this close before, not since before mother died."
She was right. We'd never been so loving to one another in a long while.
"Oh you have work to do and it is my day off. Father I'll be going now. Bye."
And she was gone from the office and I noted, had stopped calling me 'daddy' and again started with 'father'.
I sank into my chair and sighed annoyed.
"I'm going to have an aneurism."
I decided that I needed this to stop or at the very least get to know this boy better before she was actually ripped away.
"Kishimoto?"
"Yes?" My secretary asked coming into my office.
"Call my nephew in from human resources and also make an appointment with my doctor."
"Right away sir. Oh, are you not feeling well?"
I shook my head.
"I see future heart problems in the near future."
Kishimoto, my secretary, looked about to laugh but nodded and did as she was told. I assume she heard the news and thought me quite ridiculous.
If only I had been able to see how this would turn out ahead of time and stop it but then there would be no story right?

Sera: Hahahaha I enjoyed writing this immensely. Oh and he's ooc for a reason also it's an AU so they are bound to be different. Oh and who is the Uchiha? Hmmm try and guess. Comment and I'll continue to torture Hiashi more.
Hiashi: You are evil.
Sera: I know.
Hiashi: You are planning on killing me then?
Sera: -staring down at her nails- Maybe.
Hiashi: -pales- …
Sera: Review!
