Two girls stood outside of the brown house they now called home. One of the girls had long brown hair that reached to about her waist. She had an emotionless expression, as if she could care less about her new surroundings. Her long brown hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, with the bangs hanging down in front of one of her emerald green eyes. She had her hands crossed in front of her chest, (which happened to be unusually large for a teen her age) and she sighed, "Jess, what were you thinking?" she asked in an aggravated tone.
The other girl smiled a bright smile that contrasted with her friend's expression, "Come ON!", she encouraged, "It'll be fun! We were supposed to move out, so I got us a house!" she flipped her long blond hair behind her right shoulder, and over her left, where she briskly tied it into a side pony tail. She then put her hands on her hips and cocked her right one to the side. Unlike her friend, she wasn't exactly, "Busty". She had a very slim figure, but broad hips.
She picked up the bird cage next to her, containing a tiny green bird, and walked in the house, followed by her un-happy friend. The house was a large house and painted a dark hazel brown. It had a large all around porch, with two pillars made of wood in front of the door. It would have been a lovely house...about one hundred years ago. Now it was old and creepy. Not broken down...just ancient, dark and secretive.
When the girls walked in, the large wooden door let out a creak of protest, as if forbidding them from entering. The blond girl gasped as she saw the extravagent interior. There was a large spiral wooden staircase, that led upward letting off at two balconies, both led off into a small hallway. These hallways had two rooms that occupied them. There was one room on each side, both rooms would obviously be quite large. But, back to the girls.
The down stairs consisted of a grand entry way with a wooden floor with a chandelier, that looked to be crystal. There was a dining room that was fully furnished, (Like the rest of the house), with a maple table and a red carpet patterned with golden floral designs. And as the girls walked on they saw many expensive vases, and porceline figurines.
Finally the girls sat down in the casual living room, "Why did you carry that mongrel through the whole house?" The brown haired girl asked pointing to the bird in the cage moodily. "Because Ashanti! You know Kari doesn't like to be left alone!" Jess said affectionatly. The bird merely turned it's head upside down and chirped.
Their conversation was interrupted by a knocking on the door. Both girls shot up, but Ashanti grabbed her kunai, and Jess simply got into a fighting stance. Both girls looked at eachother before moving towards the door. Ashanti gave Jess a look and moved behind the door so that when Jess opened it she could jump out and attack any intruders.
Jess slowly and cautiously opened the door, "Hello!" she said happily to the two people standing there. There was a girl and a boy, the girl had long purple hair with bangs in the front. The boy on the other hand had long black hair pulled back by string. The odd thing was, both of them had pupil-less milky white eyes. "Hey!" the girl said cheerily, "We saw you were moving in, so we figured we'd offer to help!". The boy stood there motionlessly. He obviously had something better to do. "Oh thanks!" Jess said gratefully. She flung open the door, welcoming them. Unfortunately Ashanti was behind the door, kunai at the ready, and as the door flung back it hit her and the kunai and smushed her back against the wall. Ashanti groaned as the door was shut and she fell forward onto her face.
Jess smacked herself before stepping forward to help her friend up. She was cut off though by something entirely unexpected. The boy, the one who seemed that he could care less what was happening around him and didn't want to be here, stepped forward and offered Ashanti his hand. Ashanti had looked up with a glare set to kill Jess, but stopped when she saw the boy offer her his hand. She was stunned! After a small pause on her part she took his hand and let him hoist her to her feet. His hands were strong and firm, but oddly soft for a boy. Did he use lotion?
Jess and the girl watched as the boy pulled Ashanti to her feet gently, but gracefully. The boy looked Ashanti over as if to see if she was ok, and once satisfied, he returned her kunai and went back to stand behind the girl. Ashanti broke the awkward silence with a clearing of her throat, "Well...erm...Thank you. I'm Ashanti of the mist, and that's Jessica of the Wolf clan." she said gesturing to herself, then to Jess as she introduced both of them.
"Neji and Hinata Hyuuga" said the boy with an acute bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you." the girl said, "Now, where are those boxes?" she asked clapping her hands together in anticipation. Jess and Ashanti looked at eachother, then each held up a small tote bag filled with their things.
Hinata gasped, "IS THAT ALL YOUR THINGS?!" she cried.
Jess and Ashanti looked at eachother, and nodded slowly, while puzzled expressions occupied their faces.
"Oh my-! YOU'VE GOTTA GO SHOPPING! NEJI TO THE HYUUGA-MOBILE! WE'RE GOING TO THE MALL!!!" she yelped grabbing both girls by their arms and dragging them out of the house. Both girls were scared...Was this just an innocent day out? Or a shopping trip of DOOM!!
