PERSUASION

 

 

CHAPTER 3: LESSON 2

 

- Uchiha Residence-

 

“RIIIING! RIIIIINGGGG!”

 

The doorbell to the front door rang for the second time as Sasuke violently swung the oak door to reveal a somewhat flushed Hyuuga. Hinata who was on the verge of pressing the bell for the third time, stopped her action midway as she noticed the familiar infamous glare from in front her. Naturally she had not seen Sasuke's exasperated look as he opened the door to this Uchiha mansion. As usual, Hinata suddenly found the floor extremely interesting.

 

“I believe that my face is up here.” Sasuke admonished. Sarcasm dripping heavily with every word.

 

Lifting her face up to meet the Uchiha's face, who had an eyebrow arched, Hinata smiled sheepishly, slightly sticking her tongue out in embarrassment.

 

“He...he... a- ano...I th- thought…” Hinata started her usual string of stuttering. True enough that her stuttering weren't as severe as compared to when she was 12 but then again, every time she was in near contact with the brooding Uchiha, she would immediately forget that she was already a fully matured 18 year old and as old habits go, Hinata would instantly revert to her former shy Hyuuga Hinata. Clamming herself up in the invisible thick shell that she carried around with her. That was as to how intimidating Sasuke was to her.

 

Back to reality, Hinata was currently having problems forming full coherent sentences and Sasuke rather `helpfully' put her out of her dilemma. Though not in a very gentle manner anyways.

 

“Save it,” was Sasuke's blunt reply. “You're late,” he stated.

 

Hinata stood at the doorstep quietly. She had no idea as to whether the statement was supposed to be taken as an enquiry or a fact. Honestly speaking, Hinata never knew where she stood every time she was with Sasuke. In his very own way, Sasuke liked to make his sentences sound so ambiguous which in turn made her look and feel like a total ditz. Not that she wasn't one anyway, Hinata would always chide to herself. Years of growing up with words of insults and discouragement as her only `motivator' apparently does not do much to develop one's self esteem and Hinata just had to be the `lucky' one learn it the hard way.

 

Hinata sighed. By the looks of things, it sure was going to be one long night and with her body on the verge of collapsing there and then, and a stomach that had been grumbling non stop (she just hoped that Sasuke didn't notice it) since the past three hours, Hinata was not even sure if she was even going to have the strength to endure another night with the Uchiha that was currently standing in front of her.

 

“Gomen, Sasuke sa-…” Hinata immediately recognized the stern look on Sasuke's face and instantly, the earlier ordeal. “ Ah- ah…g- gomen, Sasuke kun. There was casualty down at the hospital just now.” There. That should explain enough, Hinata mentally chided.

 

Sasuke scrutinized her pale face for a while, letting his sharp eyes bore straight into her white orbs, searching for any trace of lying. Satisfied with her excuse, Sasuke grunted something that Hinata guessed was probably an approval or something. Standing aside, Sasuke quickly ushered Hinata into the mansion and immediately kicked the door shut as to not let the chill for outside enter his humble abode. Little did he realize that the house already had cold air lingering and it had nothing to do with the snowstorm outside.

 

“Take a seat,” said Sasuke to the still standing Hinata as he walked past the smaller girl.

 

Hinata bowed and quietly sat on the same couch that she had occupied the night before. Utterly grateful for the welcoming warmth of the heater in one corner of the living room, Hinata closed her eyes in total bliss.

 

Meanwhile, Sasuke who had already disappeared into the small kitchen of his and was currently busy setting two mugs and a plate of chocolate chip cookies on a tray while a kettle was boiling away on the single stove. Sasuke worked silently and yet every move of his dictated grace and agility, traits that one would usually associated with well- brought up girls and not an avenger. Hinata's worn out condition and hunger had not escaped Sasuke's sharp senses, yet he thought that he would spare the younger girl any further embarrassment. He had noticed that somehow every time Hinata was around him, she would cease to relax and instantly revert to the former shy- timid Hinata, which would eventually make things harder for both of them.

 

Putting his head out of the kitchen door, Sasuke decided to check out on the Hyuuga currently in his living room. His onyx eyes registered a form still clad in a beige jacket, sitting comfortably on his couch. The head drooped to one side and the constant heaves of her chest indicated that the white- eyed girl was already blissfully dreaming in slumber land. Sasuke watched her for a while realizing just how at home she was and how perfectly she fitted in the whole picture. Yes, Hinata painted a rather pretty picture sleeping on his couch in the bare warm living room with nothing but a reading lamp to cast a golden- like glow on her pretty face. Hinata looked almost ethereal. Immediately realizing his mind's sappiness, Sasuke shook his head a few times as if willing the image to get out of his head. The slow shrilling of the kettle put Sasuke's mind back on track as he swiftly went over to the stove to switch the fire off.

 

Stirring the pot of hot chocolate, Sasuke carried the laden tray into the living room and set it on the mahogany coffee table opposite the couch. Sensing that the tired girl sleeping on his couch was not about to awaken any soon, Sasuke gently shook her shoulder. After a while of calling her name and shaking the petite body, only then did Hinata wake up. Peering her white sleepy eyes, Hinata scanned the room in confusion. Sasuke merely stood beside her, letting her regain full consciousness before addressing her.

 

The look of sudden recognition on the girl's face signed for Sasuke to step into the picture, “I see that you are awaken already.”

 

“Eep!” Hinata swiveled her head to face the source of the sudden voice and white orbs clashed with onyx ones. It took her quiet a while for her still half conscious mind to comprehend as to why there was a man with her…and a Uchiha nonetheless.

 

“Sa- Sasuke s…”

 

Sasuke interrupted her before she could even finish the single line, “ kun…Hinata. Sasuke kun. Not Sasuke san.”

 

“Ah, g- gomen. Sasuke kun,” apologized Hinata, bowing her head in true remorse.

 

Sighing, Sasuke sat slumped on the couch beside the Hyuuga on the couch and looked at her straight in the eyes, “And none of that too.”

 

Hinata looked puzzled.

 

“(Sigh) No apologizing for trivial things from now on…at least with me that is. Plus, loosen up on the bowing. Don't you ever get backaches from all that bending?” Sasuke had a slightly painful look on his face as if he was imagining the backache.

 

Hinata widened her eyes at the rather expressive Sasuke in front of her and couldn't help but giggle at the very sight. Sasuke scrunching his nose in disgust or pain was rather comical considering that the Uchiha was never expressive to begin with, least of all comical.

 

Sasuke snorted when Hinata giggled at his little display, “Well, at least someone thinks it funny.” But that exclamation came before he a small smile that he gave Hinata. An extremely small smile that it was as if it wasn't there in the first place anyway. Handing Hinata a mug of steaming hot chocolate, Sasuke started to sip on his own “Fill up. You're gonna need the energy later.”

 

Hinata was grateful for the warm beverage in her hands especially after having to trudge through the chilly street of Konoha after a long day at work. The girl smiled shyly at Sasuke as thanks. “A- arigatou.”

 

“Hn.” was the simple reply.

 

The two teenagers sat quietly sipping the chocolaty goodness as well as enjoying the chocolate chips biscuits. Hinata even had a sneaking idea that Sasuke actually had an impartiality towards chocolate by the looks of bliss on his face as he ate the biscuits dipped in hot chocolate.

 

After finishing the food and drinks, Sasuke cleared the coffee table for… other purposes as Hinata did the washing. Sasuke had no choice but to give in and let Hinata handle the dishes when Hinata looked at him in those unintentionally sorrowful puppy eyes.

 

A while later, with all the dishes cleared and Hinata comfortably seated again, Sasuke brought out a big piece of cardboard into the living room. The big cardboard came with a wooden stand with three legs that enabled it to stand (you know the one used in arts class). Setting the cardboard on the coffee table, Sasuke addressed the other person, “Now that we have settled with our first lesson earlier today,” Sasuke smirked at the sight of Hinata blushing, “We will now proceed with our second lesson.”

 

Tearing off the piece of paper covering the cardboard, Sasuke whipped out a senbon from his back pant pocket. Pointing towards the cardboard, “Now, Hinata. Do you know what this is?”

 

Hinata looked at the cardboard long and hard. Her soft eyes squinted giving her looks a more hard appeal compared to her usual soft clueless look. The picture appeared to her like a drawing of a human anatomy with dots on various parts of the picture. It looked like a tenketsu diagram. “Is Sasuke kun trying to give me ninja lessons?” wondered Hinata silently. Looking at Sasuke who was clad in a brown halter neck that snug to his muscular built and faded blue jeans, Hinata noticed that he suddenly had a pair of specs on that had given him an intelligent look. Not that he wasn't already intelligent, but still. “Well, he sure doesn't look even an inch like a dork,” mussed Hinata. However, what had really drew her attention was actually the senbon in his hand. That instrument got her thinking. Looking at the diagram and them the senbon again, Hinata thought, “Is he teaching how to aim a senbon at various tenketsu points?”

 

Sasuke waited patiently for the girl's answer. Normally, he would be very pissed at having to wait this long for a simple respond but this time, he would make it an exception. It was rather amusing watching the young Hyuuga's switched expressions as she tried to figure out an acceptable answer to his enquiry. Well, At least she's thinking and not simply blurting any answer that crosses her mind. Unlike most other annoying fangirls that he knows.

 

Finally, having figured it out, Hinata looked at Sasuke straight into the eyes. At that very moment, where white met black, Sasuke was thinking that he had never seen eyes as beautiful as hers. They were so unlike most eyes that he has seen before and looking at it, he was truly mesmerized by it. “So.”

 

Sitting up straight and displaying some sense of confidence, Hinata exclaimed, “It's a diagram of tenketsu points and that senbon…” Hinata pointed towards the weapon in his hand, “…is for aiming.”

 

Silence.

 

Sasuke simply looked at Hinata and Hinata at him.

 

“Wow. That…was quite an answer, Hinata.” Sasuke said as he looked at the diagram beside him thinking that he might have taken the wrong diagram. Yep, it sure is the correct diagram.

 

Hinata slightly beamed at Sasuke' response.

 

“But you're looking underneath the underneath too much. In other words, you're over analyzing things.” Sasuke said at Hinata crushing the very little amount of pride swelling inside her.

 

“N- n- nani?” whispered Hinata. Her voice and expression showing confusion.

 

Sasuke sighed as he ran a hand through his dark locks. “Hinata, this picture here is a diagram of a human's pleasure points…not tenketsu. And this…” Sasuke waved the senbon in his hand, “…is just to serve as a pointer. I could not get hold of anything else to point with. Get the picture?”

 

Hinata stared at Sasuke as if he had grown another head. Her cheeks were blushing and her eyes were wide with amazement or astonishment that Sasuke never knew. “P-p- plea-sure p-p-points?”

 

Sasuke nodded.

 

Hinata gulped and tried to look elsewhere. Anywhere at all, as long as it wasn't at the diagram. However, being the weak kunoichi she kept thinking that she was, Hinata could never seem to look anywhere else long enough. Every time, her eyes would traitorously drift back towards the diagram. By then, Hinata was practically red to the tips of her ears.

 

Sasuke looked at her downcasted head, noting her futile efforts at avoiding having to look at the diagram. Man, this girl is like impossible. Deciding that it was time for him to use a firm hand, Sasuke impatiently tapped on the cardboard using the senbon, drawing Hinata's attention towards the diagram once again.

 

“Now, let us focus on our lesson okay. Focus here, “ Sasuke tapped on the diagram again, “Focus.”

 

Hinata gave up. She knew that she would have to get used to Sasuke's weird lessons but she was yet ready. “Steel yourself, girl,” cried her inner chibi Hinata. “Remember, you're doing this to get stronger. Ganbatte!” her inner self supported her more. Hinata nodded and sat straight projecting all the confidence that she could muster at that very moment.

 

Even Sasuke noticed this sudden change in her, and inwardly he smiled. That was what amazed him of this girl. She was just…different. “ Good. Now that I have your attention, we shall get started.”

 

Hinata nodded and gave him her utmost attention.

(One hour later)

 

Now, Hinata was no longer feeling very confident. As a matter of fact, Hinata felt like running as fast as she could, lock herself in her room and stay under the sheets until the New Year comes around and hopefully, by then, all this new information that Sasuke is feeding her fades away. Hinata suddenly felt naked, totally stripped bare and that it was her body up there on the diagram. Never ever in her whole career as a successful medic nin, had Hinata known so much of a human's body and its `receptive' system. Tsunade must have accidentally left this VERY major detail during Hinata's apprenticeship with the Hokage herself. Sasuke's voice kept floating in and out of her head and her all seeing Hyuuga eyes saw noting but lines and dots in front of her. Apparently, Hinata was going through some kind of mental shut down from all that knowledge.

 

Ending his speech and theories of human pleasure points, Sasuke turned around to face Hinata. The sight that greeted him shocked him though as usual, he never showed it of course. Hinata was sitting like a stone on the couch and even though her eyes were still on diagram, he could have sworn that her mind was not. Sasuke frowned as he cleared his throat loud enough for the Hyuuga girl to hear.

 

No respond. Another, “Ahem!”

 

“Huh! Uh…w- what?” Hinata asked bewilderedly. Stepping out of her reverie, Hinata saw an unreadable Sasuke regarding with very perceptive eyes. Reflexively, Hinata cowered into the couch, slightly disturbed by the intense glare. Hinata could handle a moody or angry Sasuke, but as he is right now, Hinata had no idea of what was going on that mind of his. And that really made her wary.

 

“ A- ano. S-Sasuke kun?”

 

Sasuke closed his eyes as if trying to concentrate on something. Hinata peered at him through her bangs, anticipating some sort of reaction from the notoriously cold Uchiha. A yell, a snide, a snap. Anything. As long as it was not this disturbing bout of silence.

 

Hinata then saw Sasuke smirk and upon opening his eyes, Hinata saw that the black orbs held a glint of mischief in it. No anger, no contempt. Only mischief. Pure mischief. Without realizing it, Hinata clutch the small cushion pillow in her hand tighter. Holding it close to her chest as if her life depended on it.

 

Seeing Hinata suddenly have her guards up, Sasuke couldn't resist taunting her a bit. Inching his face lower until he was barely inches from her, Sasuke saw fear etched clearly in her eyes. So, the little dove is afraid, eh.

 

Hovering his lips above her ears, Sasuke whispered, “Now, that you know the theories, why don't we proceed with the practice.” He smirked when he felt the girl shivered under his caresses. His hands were slowly inching along her back, massaging her tense spine in soothing circles that sent shivers coursing through her whole being. Licking the rim of her earlobes, Sasuke continued, “I'll give you a demonstration and then I want you to show me exactly everything that we have learnt. Understood?” Sasuke flicked a hot tongue into her earlobe, sparking a deep discomfort in Hinata.

 

Hinata tried to squirm out of Sasuke's hold only to have him tighten his grip on her waist. “S- Sasuke kun… I- I really need to g- get back h- home.” Hinata tried pushing the other man away.

 

Sasuke only inched himself closer to her. Now seated beside her on the couch, Sasuke drew Hinata closer into his embrace, his other hand went up to her chin. Turning her head so that she was facing him and not elsewhere, Sasuke suddenly swooped down and planted a kiss on her. He sensed Hinata resist his kiss but that only made him kiss her harder.

 

“Mmmph…” Hinata muffled against Sasuke's seductive lips. As much as she would like to escape Sasuke…this couch…the house, it seems that it just wasn't her day. Not only was she pinned down by the male Uchiha in a rather awkward position (o.o) but her worst luck had to be the way her traitorous body was starting to react to Sasuke's caresses. Oh yes, Hinata was really in trouble here and no amount of pleading would get the Uchiha to release her…even for a breather. Mentally sighing in defeat, Hinata let herself give in to the man's treatment knowing that she was only fighting a hopeless battle. After all, if it wasn't for Tsunade's absurd idea. Hinata wouldn't even have landed herself in this big mess. Shutting her eyes, Hinata let her body soften in his arms, molding her soft body perfectly against Sasuke's hard stature. Gradually, her lips moved in their own accordance, responding wantonly to Sasuke's kisses as her arms slowly crept around Sasuke's neck. Hinata unconsciously let out a small moan from the back of her throat, signaling her pleasure and hunger…for more.

 

Sensing Hinata's submission, Sasuke had to smirk. He had the Hyuuga heiress just where he wanted…under him, willing and soft. Damn, this girl was going to be the death of the Uchiha avenger. During those few hours spent with her in the past few days, Sasuke had discovered that the terribly shy Hinata had many faces that she kept hidden from the world outside the small shell that she keeps herself in. This maddening girl could be cute and sweet one minute and then turn into a real wild fire the next minutes (as he had witnessed on their first night at his house), painfully shy for a moment but a really hot tamale the next (remember the `Ichiraku incident'?). Was there just no end to all these emotions that the Hyuuga was slowly revealing to him?

 

Releasing her lips for a breather, Sasuke stared down into the flushed face of the young Hyuuga. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were glazed in a somewhat dazed lusty expression in them. Heh, nobody resists an Uchiha kiss. Her cupid bow lips were slightly swollen and erotically sheened with a thin layer of saliva from their kissing. Man, Hinata was really placing Sasuke or rather `little Sasuke' in a hard time. Sasuke had to smirk at the sight of the passion ridden heiress and gently kissing the tip of her cute nose and of course being the bad ass he is, Sasuke just could not resist the temptation to tease her a bit, “Not bad for a light demonstration, ne.”

 

Hinata wheezed for the much needed breathe. Boy, she never thought that Sasuke was such a snogger by the way he carries himself around. On the surface, Sasuke looked more like a walking ice- berg but if ask Hinata, even an ice- berg looks more appealing. At least the gigantic piece of ice does not sport a foul mouth. Oh yes, ladies and gentleman, Sasuke is not only known for his drop dead gorgeous looks but also for his bad ass attitude towards life- and fangirls. And to think that most Konoha girls think that as sexy, Hinata could never understand most girls. The effect from the lack of male population in the very hidden village must be catching on.

 

Sitting up, Sasuke tugged on Hinata's arm gently to help her sit up. Letting the slip of a girl catch her breath, Sasuke eyed her. Hinata somehow felt uneasy under his intense gaze and tried in vain to hide her deep blush. The silence that lingered in the room was rather unnerving for the girl. Her prayers were answered. The ice- berg has finally spoken.

 

“So, you ready for the next part of our lesson?”

 

Hinata stared wordlessly at the male sitting beside her. Sitting ramrod on the couch, Hinata looked straight at the Uchiha's eyes, her eyes doing all the speaking.

 

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, “ You didn't think that we were done yet, did you?”

 

Hinata mentally groaned as she slumped into the back of the comfy leathery couch.

 

Oh boy, this sure is going to be one long night.
