This is going to be very different from anything I've ever written. For one thing, it's in third person...and I usually write in the first tense.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this...and I also hope that the characters aren't too OOC.
'Chapter 1 - Illegitimate Kisses'
"T-this isn't r-right, Sasuke-kun!" Hinata stammered anxiously as Sasuke pulled her close to his chest.
"Why? We've been seeing each other for two years now. Does it really matter if it's not right?" Sasuke whispered into her ear. The sensation of his breath on her neck sent shivers down her spine.
"W-what if Sakura-chan f-finds out?" She persisted, bracing her hands against Sasuke's well-sculpted chest. "This has b-been on my conscience for too l-long."
Sasuke sighed and let his arms drop to his sides. "What she doesn't know can't hurt her. Plus, I'm planning on filing for a divorce in a few weeks." He cupped Hinata's face with one hand and looked down at her caringly. "Soon we'll be the ones who are married and everything will be perfect."
Hinata gently brushed his hand aside and looked down at the ground. "But how d-do I know that you w-won't do the same thing to m-me?" She asked in a quiet voice.
Sasuke groaned. "We've been over this before, Hinata. I've told you so many times that my marriage to Sakura was the biggest mistake I've ever made." Sasuke once again cupped Hinata's face in his hand and turned her head so that she would look at him. "I was young and stupid. Seventeen, Hinata! I was seventeen! Three years have gone by since then and I've realized my own stupidity."
Hinata smiled sadly but made no move to brush Sasuke off this time. "B-but it's just s-so…wrong!" Hinata's smile slowly turned into a frown. "Sasuke, sh-she's your wife a-and she's p-pregnant!"
"So are you, Hinata." Sasuke replied, completely unfazed by her comment. "In eight months you'll give birth to my child. If we're not married and people find out, they'll talk. I don't want you to bear that sort of humiliation. Plus, the sooner we get married the better…there's no telling that one of your family members wont accidentally see the fetus. Best do it now while it's not yet developed."
"I d-don't want to b-bear the humiliation either, b-but Sa-" Hinata did not manage to finish her sentence as Sasuke's lips pressed against hers. For a few miserable seconds she did her best to push him off, but soon the sensation of his kiss overpowered her.
He once again pulled her close to his chest, one hand resting on her lower back and the other on her shoulder blades. In turn, Hinata wrapped her arms around Sasuke, resting one hand on the back of his neck while the other entangled itself in his hair.
Their tongues intertwined in a cadence of passion, like longtime friends meeting after a lengthy period of separation.
After a few minutes they broke apart, panting.
"I t-think I should g-go no, Sasuke-kun. Sakura-chan c-could be coming back any m-minute now." Hinata said, breathing heavily.
Sasuke gave her a nonchalant nod of his head and drew her in for one last kiss. It was the briefest meeting of the lips, but still it lingered until every nerve in their bodies buzzed in approval.
"We can meet again on Thursday, that's when Sakura has another check-up with Tsunade." Sasuke said as he broke away from Hinata's mouth.
"Shouldn't you b-be going to th-those check-ups with her?" Hinata asked in a seemingly casual voice. Her eyes, however, betrayed her true emotions.
Sasuke rubbed his forehead with one hand. "Hinata, don't worry about her, she'll be fine."
"Are y-you implying th-that while Sakura-chan c-can take care of herself, I c-can't?" Hinata's sadness warped into mild rage. "I am p-perfectly capable of t-t-taking care of m-myself!" She huffed, her face reddening with every passing second.
"Hinata, that's not what I meant." Sasuke said just as she turned away and headed towards the back door. They always met as close as possible to the exit in every get-together, reducing the risk of getting caught by unexpected visitors.
"Hinata!" Sasuke called out, but she had already slipped outside and was well on her way to the gate.
Groaning inwardly, Sasuke stalked over to the nearest chair and planted his derriere on it. Pregnant women, they were so incredibly moody…and to make things even worse, he had two of them on his hands. Sakura, during her six months of carrying Sasuke's child, had more or less calmed down from her previous sulkiness but was still liable to an occasional sob fest. Hinata, on the other hand, was just entering that stage of irritability that Sakura had previously been in. All in all, between the two of them, Sasuke had his agenda full.
It was then that he heard the lock on the front door being opened, a good twenty rooms away from where he sat. Over the course of his illicit meetings with Hinata, Sasuke had forced himself to recognize the light clinking sound of the lock from every room of the Uchiha manor.
With yet another inward grunt, Sasuke got off the chair and made his way to the front parlor to meet his wife.
Sakura had a smile on her face as she entered the house, one hand placed on the bulge in her belly.
"What did Tsunade say?" Sasuke asked her as she took off her outdoor shoes.
"That our baby boy is going to be perfectly healthy." Sakura beamed as she wiped away the happy tears brimming in her eyes. "Everything is going along so wonderfully, although I do hope that you'll come with me next time. You haven't seen his sonogram in a while."
"You know I can't. I've got things to do. Being an ANBU captain does call for a lot of meaningless paperwork. Plus, they might be assigning a team of genin to me soon and I'm not sure how I will be able to juggle those two jobs." Sasuke replied as his wife kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, you don't have to be so busy, do you? You can just refuse to be sensei to those genin. Tsunade-sama will let you off; she knows that I'm pregnant." Sakura suggested, a glint of hope sparkling in her green eyes.
Sasuke only shook his head. "I can't. I have a duty to Konoha and I want to do my best to carry it out." Or, more so, Sasuke had a duty to Hinata, who would also become a sensei to three genin.
Upon hearing those words of rejection, the hope in Sakura's eyes faded back to nothingness.
"Oh, alright, Sasuke-kun." She said with fake brightness. "That's fine also. I…I'll go make dinner now."
Sasuke didn't bother to watch as Sakura shuffled out of the parlor and into the kitchen. Sure, he felt guilty for sleeping with Hinata every other day, but he loved her more than Sakura…and didn't that make him a little less accountable for being blamed?
It didn't, but Sasuke liked to believe the opposite.
Ku ku ku, I am so evil.
