My little stray dog

Chapter 1: The stray that wouldn't stay away

His eyes were so estrange. They were filled with both adoration and loneliness that it caused the girl right in front of him to stand motionless, gawking at the boy slumped in front of her doorway.

"What are …" She began but he abruptly stood up, his dark eyes lingering upon her own as if prying into her soul. Slowly, she gazed at the hand that wrapped around her fragile fingers. They were so warm and yet, she trembled in fear.

"I want to live with you." He closed the gap between them, taking the little steps toward her but she refused him as she took a step back. This guy had to be crazy or insane. she had never met him before and now he's asking her to come into her home. There was no way.

"I-I-I…" A blush smothered her features, her eyes averting to the floor. "W-Who are you?"

The brunette smiled with confidence. He knew he could sway his way into her heart but time would tell when that day would come. Although, when the girl lifted her gaze toward him she couldn't help but notice his neck.

Her hand that comfortably wrapped around his, quickly extended toward his face only to graze over the nape of his neck. Her eyes widened at the scar that etched its way into his skin. It was a horrid site to see but when she finally realized what she was doing, she backed away into her house.

"N-No…I'm sorry but you have to leave."

"B-But I have to live with you." The brunette slammed his hand onto the door that was about to close. The expression that lingered upon her face wasn't what he wanted to see. She was bewildered, afraid and her actions portrayed her feelings as she slammed the door right in front of his face.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

3 days before that incident Hinata was your average 16-year-old girl. The quiet one that everyone took advantage of, the girl that was surrounded by friends but didn't have any word in the conversations they had. She was the girl no one cared for, as long as she did their homework, who really cared.

The normal routine went as smooth as any other day. Woke up, got dressed, walked through her empty home and strolled out the door only to be met with a cute little puppy. Excited as always, the puppy she called Akamaru, got on his hind legs, his front paws propped on her ankle as he beckoned for her to pet him.

"Good morning Akamaru." She complied with a pat on the head and went on her way as Akamaru sat there on her front porch, waiting for her return from school.

School… it was a horrible place and she always dragged her feet through the crowded halls. The corridor was always suffocating, her shoulder being rammed into by rushing students getting books from lockers or walking to class. If only she had a real friend to help her out, to guide her toward happiness but that would never happen. Instead she got something far more worst.

"Hoy, Hinata!!" A beautiful scarlet could be seen through the crowd that diverged up against the lockers for her to pass. It was sickening to see the boys drool over a slut like her. They knew she was open 24/7. As long as the boy was hott she really didn't care who she slept with, so long as she was popular and in the public eye then that was all that mattered.

Hinata stared at the floor as she approached her. "Y-Yes."

"My report Hinata-chan, you got it?"

Hinata shuffled through her book bag. For one split second her hand trembled with anger. How many hours did she spend typing out her damn report? Hell, it was the whole night spent on reading a 200-page book and summarizing the shit and for that, Hinata never even had the time to get her own report done.

"Here it is Sakura."

She snatched the documents from her with a devious smirk on her face and patted her head. "Very good Hinata-chan. Sit with us at lunch. We'll talk." Just then the whore went on her way, leaving Hinata to ponder on her thoughts that were focused on wringing the redhead's neck.

"Damn it. I hate her,I hate school and I hate myself for doing all those things." Her words were but a whisper as she stomped her way to class. But little did she know, another trailed closely behind her.

"Hey Hinata!! You should kick her ass!!" It was a suggestion she wanted to take but her quiet demeanor prevented her from doing so. She shook her head at the blonde and sighed.

"I can't."

"Why not. I'll help you."

"I just can't. She's my friend." The word was like acid. Friend was the last thing she would describe their relationship.

"Oh come on. I heard what you said. Don't worry I'll get her for you."

"N-No. Naruto don't do anything. I mean she's your sister."

The blonde scoffed at the atrocious word. "Sister…Now that's funny. Were not really siblings, remember. We just live together that's all. And besides I know all her secrets like the time she picked her nose and the boy she was crushing on saw her. Oh, boy that was a life. It was all in her diary that I can easily unlock. But don't you worry I'll get her for you."

Again she sighed; the thought solely loitered in her mind like strong adhesive glue. Okay, that wasn't really the right description to put it but she wanted it. She wanted Sakura to know the torture she had put her through all her life since kindergarten but still…

"No…Naruto don't do this okay… I-I have to go." Why does she stutter so much? Maybe because she was so self-conscious about her looks that there was no other way to speak up.

Her mind was so absorbed on her life that she took a random seat in the back of the classroom. Her head tilted toward the desk, a frown placed upon her lips at the thought of her next class.

The report was due and there was no way she could pull off a 4 page essay on the popular Stephanie Meyer book 'Twilight', a 498 page book at that.

Edward Cullen, oh what a man he was and it was a waste to read such a book and not write an essay, but there was no way to pull it off. She only had an hour or so until English class began and an F would be presented right in her face. She just knew it.

"I'm dead. I'm so dead." She buried her face in her hands. If a miracle could happen and present itself then maybe, just maybe an angel was watching over her.

Bam!!

She was startled at the sudden sound, her head snapping up toward an angry face. "For a smart one, you can be an idiot sometimes." Sharp…his words were always rigid toward others and yet, his smile didn't resemble those cruel words. He motioned toward the papers plopped on her desk and she gave him and questioning look.

"What are these?"

The raven poked an index finger at her forehead. "Vampire, wolf, and humans, right? Or should I say Edward, Jacob and Bella." Still a brow was raised and the raven dragged his hand down his face.

"You're book report. I found it lying on the floor. You must have dropped it."

"Book report? But I didn't—"

"I'll see you in class Hinata. Next time, be more careful handling your stuff." He turned on his heals and walked toward the door but a hand prevented him from going any further. With the paper extended toward him, Hinata shook her head with a guilty look on her face. "Take it." He insisted.

"I can't Sasuke. This isn't mines and—"

He yanked away from her grasp. He wasn't going to take this guilt trip she held so dearly.

"I have a report on a different book so what is there to worry about? You think I'm so stupid that the essay doesn't deserve an A, is that why you're not taking it?"

"N-No. It's not that at all. I'm just—I'm just…" A wave of heat gathered in her cheeks and she could tell she was blushing. There was no reason for someone like Sasuke Uchiha to talk to her. Popular guys like him don't do that and the faster she got him away from her, the better. Because by the looks of his fan girls peeking around the doorframe, she could tell they were getting angry.

"F-Fine."

Sasuke smiled. "Excuse me. I couldn't hear you. But I think I heard you say 'Thank you Sasuke for the wonderful report you blessed me with. You are a savior in my eyes'." He was taunting her with that menacing but alluring smirk. It was so embarrassing but she gritted her teeth. Saying thank you to someone as gorgeous as Sasuke and look him in the eye was a rather difficult task.

"T-Thank you Sasuke, for the report. I really—" Was she catching a fever or something? She could feel her chest rising and her breathing abnormally hastening with every second past. She felt so hot all of a sudden. But once she realized it and snapped out of her reverie, she was in a daze as Sasuke's lips gently caressed her forehead, his hand resting lightly on her narrow shoulders.

The simple gesture that would make any Uchiha-fan squeal with delight caused Hinata to do the exact opposite. Her report dropped to the floor and the wind got knocked right out of her. It was like someone drove a knife through her and she couldn't react. The last thing she noticed was the light, which illuminated the room, seemed to darken further and further until suddenly everything went black and she fell into unconsciousness.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The sound of rain was so loud and yet the only thing she worried about was Akamaru. It was so dark and yet she felt the solitude she always wanted. The hype feeling of relief eased her mind but it really wasn't something she wanted. Inside, she could feel an emotion that suddenly overcome her every being. It was a feeling she longed to have but couldn't obtain.

A cold sweat dripped down her chin and she bolted up right, only to be met with looming ebony colored eyes.

"You got a nice house. You live alone?"

"S-Sasuke. You—I mean you can't—" She fumbled to get her blankets off of her but he pushed her back down. His hand remained firmly on her shoulder for a while and he put on a reassuring smile.

"I turned in that report for you so there is no need to worry."

"But I'm not worried about that."

Sasuke got up and traced his hand down the window across from her room. Silence lingered as his hand pressed against the glass, his eye soon finding itself back on her as he smiled. "I didn't know you had a dog. I hope it was okay to let him in."

"A-Akamaru. You let him in. I was so worried."

He put on a smile and nonchalantly strode toward the chair placed beside her bed. Taking a seat, he reached toward her, his finger streaking through her hair. "Tell me, do I interest you in any way?"

Hinata widened her eyes and Sasuke couldn't help but notice the expression. "I—D-Don't know what you're talking about." She didn't want this conversation to go on any further. But if she tried to move Sasuke would just push her back down. What to do? It was the most frightening moment of her life. The adrenaline was making her a nervous wreck.

"Sasuke I—"

"Don't you worry." It was nothing she or anyone had ever seen before. Usually the person standing before her would have a callous expression on. His eyes would be so dark that the glower he presented would frighten even the toughest jocks in the school. But his grin seemed to be surreal as he got up and brushed away a strand of hair from her face. "Go to sleep but remember, I'll always be here to watch over you.

She was expecting something more to happen…but nothing. He had closed the door and left the room, Hinata covering her face with the blanket in a second. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be true but her heart told her other wise. For Sasuke to act such a way was baffling. But she knew one thing was for sure…. She was never going to school again.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The pitter-patter of rain echoed throughout the empty household. With a steaming cup of hot cocoa in hand, she cuddled beside Akamaru. It had past 2 days and she kept that vow of staying home from school and would keep it until she either, finds another location to live in or Sasuke found his way out. She knew for a fact that option one was a great possibility but that would mean involving her parents and that was the last thing she wanted to do.

This was all so stupid and incomprehensible. All she wanted was to be left alone. "Maybe have someone with me." Akamaru gazed up at her as she said these words. She smiled. "I know you're here for me but still…just someone who will really love me."

She shook her head. The thought was too good to be true so she brushed it all away. She sighed, sipping at her cup until the doorbell sounded. The clock placed on the coffee table read 12 O'clock PM and she raised a brow at such a questioning visit. Usually no one ever knocked on her door except for the mailman.

"Who is it?" She called out, unable to see who was on the other side of the door.

"I'm looking for someone. My pet, have you seen him?" The voice came out pleasant and upbeat. For someone to be that gleeful on a rainy day was more perplexed then the time itself. Despite this, Hinata cracked the door open, making sure the lock was in place.

"Pet?"

The man upon her porch was gorgeous. With his conspicuous smile and blonde hair slick back due to the rain, he was the most stunning person she had ever seen. Her cheeks were cherry-red as her eyes instinctively scanned the blonde's body that was transparent through his drenched white shirt.

"Have you seen my dog? My names Deidara and I was searching all over for my missing dog."

Her heart skipped a beat. "A d-dog?"

"Yes, he's been out for quiet some time now and I got worried. I'm going house to house to see if anyone had found him."

With a disappointing and remorseful look in her eyes, Hinata gently shut the door and unlocked it. He led the man inside, puddles of water trailing behind him. "I think I did find him." It hurt so much. Imagining the stray dog she had found being taken away from her. He was her only true friend and yet it was the right thing to do as she motioned toward the puppy sleeping on the couch. "Is that him?"

His cerulean eyes gazed over the little pup and he turned to face her. With a gingerly smile, he shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Sorry for the intrusion."

"A-Are you sure. I mean I found him on my front porch and—"

"No. He is not mine."

She didn't want to show it but she was actually happy. "Well, I hope you find him soon."

Deidara nodded in agreement. "I hope I do too."

She led him to the door but she felt a chill run up her spine. After gazing at the man's features for a long while, she noticed those mystifying azure eyes roaming up her staircase and through every corridor they had past. It was as if he was continuing to search for something.

"Is something wrong?"

Brought back from his reverie, his lips quirked up into that compelling grin she now grew to familiar with. "Not at all I'm just—" He shook his head. "No…Never mind I'm just thinking too much but if you see a brown and black furred puppy, please contact me. Well I'll be on my way. Have a nice night ma'am." After lending her his card, He stepped out into the rain, Hinata quickly locking the door seconds later.

"Deidara…" The card had his cell number, home-phone number, his home address and his work address. He must really care for this dog after all. So keeping the description in mind, Hinata placed the card in the kitchen drawer.

"Ow…" Her shoulder stiffened at the sound that caused her to slam her finger in the drawer. Sucking on her thumb, she looked up at the ceiling. Then again a rustling sound filtered the room. "Akamaru?"

She caught a glimpse of him running frantically up the stairs. "Akamaru where are you going?"

Thump…Thump…

It came from upstairs but her feet wouldn't respond. Like foreseeing the future, Hinata knew something was wrong. The eerie sounds alone made her have goosebumps.

Her eyes scanned the kitchen and she rushed to the bat that was wedged between the counter and the fridge. If only someone was with her then she would have eased up some tension that succumbed to ever inch of her body. If only she her cousin was here then maybe…

"Arf! Arf!" The high pitch barks brought her back to reality. Finger tightened around the bat as she cautiously made her way up the staircase, her hands dripping with sweat. She had never heard Akamaru bark unless there was a stranger near by. That thought scared her to death when she finally came up to the landing, her eyes gazing at her bedroom door that was wide open.

"I-I closed that door. Didn't I?" Every step her heart hastened until she could feel it threatening to burst out of her chest. The constant barking didn't help either. The louder it became the more her breathing came out in short gasp. What was in there? What could be in her room?

"Akamaru?" It was but a whisper as she stepped into her room. But it was empty. Akamaru turned his head toward her and back to the object he was barking at. As if it would comfort her to know he was barking at an inanimate object, but that wasn't the case at all. It had an opposite affect.

Raising the bat, she grappled the handle tightly, her hand reaching for the closet door. Akamaru watched while he barked every few seconds and that's when time stood still.

She couldn't breathe, her eyes widened with fear and anxiety. As fingers lightly grazed upon the knob, the door suddenly opened on its own accord. She jumped back in fright but a white object came rushing toward her.

"Aaaahh!!" She stumbled, trying to catch her footing but something hit her hard. It pinned her to the ground and Akamaru no longer could be heard. "Stop it!! Who are you!!?" The white object moved, its draped and cotton-like hands grasping her wrist. "Let me go!"

"Shhhh…" It whispered. "Be quiet you're making to much noise." It was a boy and he pulled the sheets away from his face but the girl wouldn't listen. She attempted to buck and thrash her way out of his tight hold on her but nothing. She couldn't escape and she screamed.

"No!! Let me go!! Just let me go!!!"

"Wait. Just be quiet…I'm not—"

"Ahhhhh!" Her ear-shattering scream caused the boy to panic. It was like a domino affect that wouldn't stop. The more she fought back, the more he tightened his grasp on her. The more she screamed… his mind started to haze with confusion and panic.

"Please just stop—"

Hinata attempted to pull away but as her eyes opened, she stared up at the man that pinned her down. His eyes, that was the first thing she saw and for a split second she was quiet. Although, the tightness around her wrist shook her from his trance and she grunted.

"No!! G-Get off of me!! Sto—" There was nothing he could do to silence her. But his mind decided on one solution and the atmosphere suddenly grew heavy. Dense with confusion and frustration, Hinata was silent as her lips were swiftly stolen. It was nothing like she had ever felt before. The warmth of his hands lightly loosening as the kiss they shared prolonged. It was a miracle that she didn't faint.

Moments later he departed his lips from her own and with a smile he deviously said: "Don't say another word or I'll kiss you again."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
