Librarian Feelings; Chapter 1
by Origami Ninja
"THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!" Tsunade banged her desk with her fist, her eyes glaring at the person standing before her. "Uchiha Sasuke, from this point on until I say so, you will be doing community service EVERYDAY AFTER SCHOOL, YOU GOT THAT?!" Tsunade dismissed him, not even wanting to her his opinion. Sasuke walked outside and sat down on the cement-made table, not even wanting to head to class. He didn't regret the things he did the past month. In fact, he didn't really care at all now that he thought about it.
Kakashi walks up to him with one hand waving, the other holding his favorite book. "Yo, Sasuke."
"Hn." Sasuke shifted his body, now sitting on the table with his backpack by his feet on the chair. Kakashi sat next to him.
"Sasuke, I know your upset, but you have to let it go."
"Uh-huh, yea. Tell me that again after someone spreads crap about you all over the school, and talks crap about you and you family in front of your face." His words were covered in sarcasm.
Kakashi sighed. "...Okay, I take that back. But was it that necessary to almost beat him to death?"
"What can I say? Im a man of action, not words."
Kakashi sighed and closed his book. "Just be a bit thankful your still in this school. I saved your ass for the fifth time already. Tsunade said one more mess up and your expelled."
"Ch, whatever. Just gimmie my damn task for the community hours."
"Fine." Kakashi stood up, "Follow me, Sasuke."
As they two men were walking to their destination, Kakashi was telling him that if he did 100 hours of work, then he's off the hook and the past crimes will be swiped clean. They stopped in front of the school library, and Sasuke's face was puzzeled but still irritated.
"What the hell are we ddoing here? Nobody ever comes here."
"I know, I know. That's your community work for the time being."
"Huh?"
"Look, Sasuke. Your community service is simple. All you have to do is promote students to join the library."
Sasuke closed his eyes and his frown deepened. "That's so stupid. Who reads these days? If you ask me, this whole idea is a load of bullsh--"
A scream was heared inside the library doors, followed by a crash. Kakashi and Sasuke quickly reacted and rushed inside, only to find a big pile of books on the door. The pile of books trailed down an aisle, and they heard a groan, followed by two heels being thrown accross the room.
"S-stupid heels..."
They heard a ruffle of books, assuming the person was getting up, and walking over the books to her book bag over by the counter. She girl gasped and froze seeing kakashi and Sasuke standing there with a fading surprised look. Kakashi was the first one to break the silence.
"Ah, there you are. Sasuke, this is the new librarian, Ms. Hinata Hyuuga. Ms. Hyuuga, this is your new assistant, Sasuke Uchiha."
Hinata adjusted her glasses before holding out her hand. "H-hello."
Sasuke looked at her up and down. Her hair was in two low braids, followed by a white and light-purple striped long sleeve polo shirt with 2 of the 3 buttons buttoned, and a dark purple skirt that stopped just below her knees. Her face was plain: no makeup, not even lipgloss. But her skin looked soft, and her eyes were pale under those circled glasses of hers.
Sasuke pulled a smile on one side of his mouth, quickly dropping back to his irritated face. "Hi."
Hinata felt embarrased having her hand out so the dropped it and looked down. Kakashi sighed in his head 'This is going to be difficult,' he thought.
"Well, anyways, Ms Hyuuga just tell Sasuke what to do and he will help you! Now I must be going, Sasuke," he stared at him in a you-better-not-mess-up way "don't complain and please do the tasks Ms. Hyuuga tells you!" and with that Kakashi left.
The two stood there for a while, basking in the akward slience. Hinata's stutter broke Sasuke from his train of thought, but Sasuke didn't hear it well.
"Huh? Repeat that?"
"Uh--um-m...p-please help me pick-k up the books..." She turned and started picking up the books, stacking them up again on her left hand. Sasuke watched her for a few seconds before following her moves. He knelt down beside her and started picking up books too. Hinata felt a bit flushed by the closeness of her and Sasuke. When their hands accidentally touched the fely a spark run through their fingers. Sasuke jumped a little, but Hinata jump to far and fell back, dropping the books in her hand.
Sasuke asked if she was okay and she replied with a small ans studdering yes. Sasuke got up and placed his tak of book on a nerby table and tpped over her, collecting the books that spilled down the aisle. Hinata layed there, and brought her hand up to her chest, squeezing it tightly.
As they were both in their train of thought, they happened to think of the same thing:
I wonder if I wasn't the only one who felt that spark...-sigh- just let me please get through this in peace.
But what they don't know is a lot of things will be coming in store for them.
