The Unfortunate Benefit.

Chapter One.

There was once a girl, a girl who seemed just like any other, a girl who followed a daily routine, she spoke when spoken to, she got up and ready when told to and she lived her average daily life... Just like she was supposed to.

Or at least that's what everyone thought of her.

Her name was Haineko, she was a very spirited girl who loved go chasing guys and was centre of attention always. That was until a horrible curse was put on her by an evil decrepit old Zanpakutō who was abandoned by his owner and left to die in the Soul Society.

Haineko first encountered this man when she was out with Rangiku doing some special training with Captain Hitsugaya, she sensed his spiritual pressure nearby and went looking for him, she was astounded that the Captain didn't manage to sense it himself, she longed for the answers. He was lying on the ground all curled up and alone, he told her his story of how his captain abandoned him because he wasn't strong enough to be his sword, he got so heated up he spoke angrily to Haineko, she spoke back to him in the tone he addressed her in, he wouldn't accept this attitude coming from a mere girl zanpakutō. He was living the past for all she cared, next thing she knew... She woke up in bed in someone else's body the next morning.

Haineko stood before a standard mirror in the bedroom she awoke in, instead of short and warm her hair was long and black. Instead of her fluffy pink clothes on her mostly nude body, she wore a long purple hoodie and ¾ cut leggings with sandals. Instead of being tanned and attractive she was pale and timid, still cute though.

She had no idea who she now was.

What persons life she had taken over. Was this person now in her body? Why did the man choose this girl? Did he choose? Was this all random? Did that fart say the curse wrong? Stupid old geezer.

Haineko couldn't stop thinking, she was a getting a migraine with all the thinking she was doing, she hadn't had to think this much before.

She couldn't comprehend what had happened, she didn't know what to do any more, she had no way of contacting Rangiku from this place.

Was she even in the same world as she was before?

Where was she now?

Looking around this room was disgusting, it was bleak, no posters of anything, just a large bedroom, dark wooden flooring, lilac bedsheets with a large grey mirror next to the window. There was a set of drawers opposite her window with another smaller mirror hanging above it, there was a small clutter of make up in front of her mirror above the drawers. It must have been morning time, all the clothes were hanging up, put away or in the washing basket. There were books all stacked up on the shelves next to the bed and there was nothing out of line in the entire room, it was immaculately tidy, therefore the mess on the drawer was because she was just up. Thankfully dressed too.

This is crazy.. What's up with this girl being so neat? Why so boring as well? Where's all the pictures of the cute guys from this place? Does she live in the middle of nowhere?

What's the bag for? I haven't seen that before, it's a rucksack, that's pretty weird. Better check that out.

Haineko walked over to the packed rucksack that was sitting next to the tall door in the room, there was a golden lock on the door.

There's nothing in this stupid thing but books... Hold on... Jotters? "Hinata Hyuga?" Is that me? Hin-a-ta? This is weird, who is this girl? "English." " Maths." "Music" ARE THESE FOR SCHOOL! I NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL? No. No. No. No way in hell!

Haineko was not happy about this in the slightest, she hated the idea of having to do what she was told, carrying things around all day and having to wear those stupid little uniforms was out of the question.

"HINATA! HURRY UP! YOU'LL BE LATE!" Someone shouted up the stairs,

"YEAH YEAH!" Haineko answered.

"WATCH YOUR TONE MRS!" They shouted back, clearly this girl wasn't normally full of herself.

"I'm sorry..." She said quietly.

Guess it's time to go now, does this mean schoool? I don't know where it is? Who do I normally talk to? Who was that person shouting? Was it my father? My brother? My cousin? My uncle? This is going to cause so many problems. I hope Rangiku figures this out soon.

Haineko walked quickly out the room, closing the door behind her, a few moments later the door opened again she grabbed the bag and went downstairs. There was a large room before her there were two people sat at a table, a younger boy with long hair down to his waist easily, he wore a tank type top with long trousers and the same sandals. Opposite him was an older man, short cut beard with a long dark cloak on with dark trousers also and wearing the same sandals again.

So... Brother and Father? Someone and Father? Maybe? Hopefully. What to I call them? I don't know their names. Ugh. This is such a burden, why did this happen? It's only been ten minutes and I want to scream!

"Hinata, hurry up. You'll be late if you don't hurry up and leave." The younger boy said,

"I'm sorry, I didn't realise the time?" Haineko tells Rangiku that all the time, maybe he'll believe it,

"Don't be so foolish in the future, you've missed breakfast now because of your stupid slip up, your annoying friend is on the porch waiting for you. Better hurry up before she tries to come in again." He said to her, not taking his eyes off his drink,

"Of course. Bye." She said cheerfully while walking around looking for the front door.

What's up with this chicks house being so dang big! Ugh! Who's my friend? Who was he?

"It's right behind you Hinata, did you have a stroke? Why are you acting like an idiot?" The boy asked her,

Stop being so damn rude, what's his problem!

"Stop being so inconsiderate to me, I'm just having a bad day, okay!" She snapped back, their heads popped up in shock, they looked at her in disgust, she held her head up high and put her hands on her hips,

"You see I'm having a little difficulty and you start calling me names like this is all my fault. I didn't ask to be put here, try being a little nicer to people and there'll be more than two people at this 12 people dining table! You're so rude! Worse than Rangiku!" She said before walking out the door, leaving them both in complete confusion.

"What's happened to her?" The boy asked,

"I have no idea, she'll not be getting back in tonight though, she clearly needs to learn a lesson." The older man said,

"You're locking her out? After what happened last time Father?" The younger boy asked him,

"Yes." He said coldly continuing his breakfast.

Haineko walked out and saw a girl standing next to the door outside, she had long blonde thin hair that was tied of her face into a ponytail, she had a half cut tank top on which was purple and matched the pleated skirt she was wearing.

"Hey Hinata! How's it going?" The perky girl asked her.

Hinata? Oh yeah, I'm not Haineko any more. I completely forgot that.

"Hey, it's really not that good. I got moaned at for losing track of time!" She said grumpily,

"Your stupid cousin having a go at you again?" She said frowning,

"Yeah. Idiot. Get a hair cut. Am I right?" She said walking off the porch, "Also, cute outfit." She said winking at the girl.

"Thanks! I thought I'd try something new. Speaking of.. What's with this new personality? You're normally so quiet and just listen to me all morning and apologise for me having to wait outside, you're like a whole other person! I love it!" The blonde girl said happily.

"Just thought I'd try something new." She said smiling boldly,

"Come on Hina, let's get going or we'll be late." She said walking off the porch.

Guess I follow her? She's nice and all and clearly my closest friend while I'm here but... Who is she? I guess asking your best friend for her name isn't something you do after you know it once... How do you get to know everyone all over again without acting suspicious? This is going to be difficult... Especially since I don't seem to be able to sense spiritual pressure, what's up with that? I can't sense her being inside any more... What is going on in this town?

The two girls walked all the way to school talking about latest fashion choices and things they'd look for in a guy, clearly Hinata had chosen the perfect friend for Haineko to get talking to without having a difficulty talking to. It was about 20 minutes later that they two approached the school building.

So... I'm guessing by the way this girls friend dresses and talks that she's the popular girl of the year and I'm the friend who's just of friends with her but she'll be the one getting all the attention from the guys and the girls and I won't , I need a make over if this is the only clothing she has. No idea how I'll be able to manage being in that house again. I'll just have to go with it I suppose, this school is huge and I have no idea where I'm going, who I'm going with or what to act like. This will be a disaster.

"So, where you going first?" Haineko asked,

"I'm in English first, you know that silly, you're in my class." She said mockingly.

"Ugh, my memory has being going crazy lately. I was stupid enough to talk back to my cousin this morning as well. I've no idea what's wrong with me!" Haineko said,

"YOU SPOKE BACK TO NEJI! ARE YOU INSANE?" The girl shouted at her,

"Well... Maybe." Haineko said thinking about it seriously, maybe she was just this Hinata girls imagination... Maybe she'd always been here and everything about Rangiku and the Captain and the Soul Society was all an illusion... Was all a dream, maybe she was just someone who was insane.

"Relax girl, it's probably just your meds acting up again, I'll keep an eye on you today, okay?" The girl said to her calmly,

"Thanks, you're the best." Haineko said happily back.

"Careful Naruto might hear you." The girl said before bursting out laughing, Haineko just laughed along with her.

"Speak of the Devil, here he comes with Sasuke." The girl said as she saw them walk towards her, Haineko turned around and saw two guys talking to each other and walking towards them, one guy had dark hair that covered his porcelain pale face, he wore a baggy shirt with short cut sleeves, it was oversized on him and went further down his thighs than it should have, his black skinny jeans hugged his thin legs and lead to his smarter shoes which were well polished and taken care of.

The other had blonde and spiky hair, he was a little smaller than the other boy and wore a bright orange jumper with blue bootcut jeans and trainers.

Who's who? There's two guys... Do I guess, also what's up with blondey? Why's the sports rep hanging out with the smart and sexy guy? That's not how high school works. Sporty guys hang out with sporty guys and sexy smart guys hang out with other sexy smart guys. That's just the way it is, then again... The popular girl was talking to me and I'm dressed nothing like her and by the looks of things I wasn't meant to act like she did either, it was worth a short though. I'm better being myself and having a little fun than being a nobody and hating it here... Might actually get a shot at a normal girls life here.

"Hey guys!" Haineko shouted over to them,

"Hey Hinata, not like you to shout out, you feeling okay?" The blonde boy said,

"Leave her alone Naruto." The blonde girl snapped at him rolling her eyes as he sighed.

"As if! I was just asking her a question, you don't gotta be so damn mean to me!" The boy identified as "Naruto" said to the girl.

"You shouldn't be so mean her, she's nothing but nice to you. Quite frankly you don't deserve such manners from such a sweet girl, no wonder you're single." She snapped at him,

"Yeah, also, pick up a brush before you even consider talking to me like that again, you rude little punk." Haineko said to him huffily,

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Hinata!" Naruto whined at her,

"Look, I'm sorry Naruto, I'm not going to continue to be such a push over." She said putting her hands on her hips and leaning onto one leg,

"You're like a whole other person... What's up with this? Are you okay?" Naruto asked her,

"I'm fine, I'm just more confident than I was before." Haineko explained,

"She even spoke back to Neji this morning." The blondie told him,

"Quit lying Ino, she did not, not even confident Hinata is THAT brave." Naruto said,

"She's not lying." Haineko said to them,

"You spoke back to your prodigy of a brother?" The dark haired boy asked,

"Yeah, he called me an idiot this morning just because I lost track of him and forgot where the front door was because of some stupid old.." Haineko stopped talking, it was hard not telling everyone you weren't the person they were looking at. Then again... Telling them would get her locked up.

"Where were you going with that..?" Sasuke asked her,

"No where, my thought's started taking over my speech, haha. It's nothing." Haineko put her hand behind her head and laughed it off.

Shortly later a bell rang, the two boys walked off after saying goodbye and Haineko followed Ino to her first class, those two were hard to talk to, she wasn't going to survive a whole class full of the same issues. There was a main building for some subjects and a separate building for others, the main curricular classes were kept apart from others, English, Math and Religious education were all in another building.

"You ready Hinata?" Ino asked her smiling,

"Yeah, I'm ready." Haineko smiled back at her.

Bring it on.

End of Chapter.

Anyone who cares about this account will have noticed all my stories being wiped, I received a message from someone who expressed that they were extremely unhappy with the lack of fluency with my stories because they were too hard to follow and the chapters lasted too long and too much happened in too little timing, so I cut the chapter in half.
I started a new story and it's also my first cross over. Kind of.

First that I've published, I'm so sorry that they're all gone and I'm so sorry if you don't like it or if it's badly done or if it's too different from my other stories or whatever.

It might get better and it might not. I'm so sorry but it's worth a shot.

I'm also sorry for any names I haven't spelled right or made people too OOC, it's a bad habit but the whole story is her being out of her character and more like someone elses so... Guess the only difference so far is Ino is a lot more considerate than in the anime.

We'll see.

Until next time.
