Don't Touch Me!
Chapter One
Hinata woke up to the drone of rain tapping impatiently on her window.
"Hurry up, Hinata! You're going to be late for school!" called her mother.
After getting ready, Hinata slipped a pair of latex gloves over her fingers, covered her school-bag with a plastic bag, and pulled a surgical mask over her mouth. After putting on her raincoat, she sighed in contentment.
"Okay," she said. "Now I'm ready."
She stepped outside; the wind blowing around her mercilessly. She stared at the mud around her boots in disgust.
'Yuck,' she thought. 'I really hate rain.'
She walked, sheltering herself with and umbrella and making sure no water got on her shoes, although she was wearing waterproof boots over them.
'I could get drenched with dirty water if a car passes,' she eyed cars and trucks on the main road ahead.
She looked over at other pedestrians heading towards the train station. 'My raincoat could steam up and turn into a bacteria farm in seconds!' she worried.
Upon reaching her train, she sighed in relief as she slipped her now closed umbrella into its plastic covering.
'Phew, thank goodness I made this train,' she thought to herself. 'I hate being squashed between strangers at rush hour, though!'
But Hinata had to restrain a scream, as she saw that all the belts to hold on to were dirty.
'EEK! These straps are filthy! I don't even want to touch them with my rubber gloves! But the train lurches when it goes around curves!'
Hinata rustled around, desperately searched her pockets for wet wipes, but in her disorder, she watched as her handkerchief slipped out of her hand and started falling in slow motion to the muddy floor. And she had disinfected and ironed it this morning!
SWUP Hinata watched as a hand reached out and caught the handkerchief before it fell to the floor.
The hand was connected to an arm, which was connected to the most gorgeous guy Hinata had ever seen. Her heart started to beat loudly as blood rushed to her face.
"Here," said the bronze-skinned Greek god. With golden hair and bright cheerful blue eyes, Hinata found it hard to look away.
"T-thank you!" she managed to stutter out, once she had gained control of her tongue again. "I would never have been able to use it again!"
Of course, she wasn't speaking symbolically, unbeknownst to said Greek god.
Said Greek god looked questioningly at her, obviously not understanding.
"It's no big a deal," he said, with a beautiful smile gracing his lips. Hinata nearly swooned.
Suddenly, the train lurched as it reached a sharp curve.
WUMP And with a totally involuntary action, that lurch left Hinata right next to the guy's chest, call it, an indirect hug.
"Um," began the handsome bronzed boy, as Hinata shuddered against him, not willing to accept the horrifying situation. "Are… you okay?" he asked hesitantly.
Hinata, however, was going through a mental breakdown.
And then, not knowing what she was doing, Hinata punched the guy square in the face to get away. After a few seconds, Hinata realized what she had done and looking down at the guy she had just knocked out, she exclaimed in a very regretful voice,
"Oh, no! I did it again!"
"Hahahaha!!!" Laughter rung in Hinata's ears as she told her friends at school about the previous incident.
"What? Just 'cause you fell against that gorgeous guy, you punched him out?!" said Sakura, trying very hard not to break into another fit of giggles.
Hinata felt so unfair.
"But my mysophobia is a real problem!" she said in a light yet serious voice. "I mean, it's not like he smelled or anything."
"That's so like you, though," said Ino. "And just think about it, he might've been your soul mate or something!"
"Yeah!" Sakura agreed.
"No, don't be ridiculous!" Hinata retaliated.
I guess it started when I fell into a ditch and got sick with a fever. Next thing I knew, I was like this. I would walk into a school bathroom and it would be shining and sparkling clean when I left. My teachers praised me as the master cleaner.
"See you, Hinata!" said Sakura as she left school arm-in-arm with Sasuke, her boyfriend.
When I think that I might never be able to have a boyfriend…
…much the less get married…
'I did a mean thing to that boy this morning,' thought Hinata as she rested her rubber-glove clad hands on top of a small metal fence surrounding her house. 'And it's my loss…'
"Isn't there any cure for me?!" Hinata shouted lightly, to no one in particular.
WUP A dirty tan hand fell on hers.
"You're one of the Hyuuga's, aren't you?"
'Huh?!' thought Hinata. She looked up.
There was the face of the same guy she had punched that morning!!
But…
But…
HE WAS COVERED IN MUD!!
Well, not covered, he only had mud on his clothes…
But that was enough to make Hinata to start hyperventilating. 'YECH!'
"I'm glad I found my way!" he said. "I'll be staying here starting today!"
"WHAT?!?!" yelled Hinata. "He's STAYING WITH US FOREVER?!?!"
Hinata's family sat in the living room while the boy took a shower.
"Only for a week," said her dad, Hiashi. "His name's Naruto Uzumaki. He's the son of an old college friend of mine."
"He's applying to a university here next year, and he wants to check out the area," continued her mother. "Now that his final exams are over."
Hinata brought a tightly curled fist up to her mouth; her face slightly pink.
'A whole week with him?! I don't know…"
KLAK Naruto finally came out of the bathroom.
"Thanks! I feel much better now," he said, rubbing his head with a towel.
Hinata gasped as she recognized the bunnies and flowers decorating the towel.
"That's…that'smy bath towel…" she said as she pointed shakily at Naruto.
"Is it?"
"AAAAAAGH!!!!" yelled Hinata as she snatched the towel from his hands and fled the scene to the laundry room.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. Don't worry about it! Hinata had a phobia about dirt," said Hinata's mother in an apologetic voice. Naruto looked over in surprise.
Meanwhile in the laundry room…
KSHH KSHHHHH Hinata poured laundry detergent into the machine along with her towel.
'My personal towel! It touched a stranger's body! And a boy's body at that!!
The machine chugged as his cleaned the towel.
"He would have dried himself… everywhere!!'
"Oh, I see!" Hinata heard Naruto's voice say.
Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"So that's why she hit me this morning," he thought out loud.
"But if she can't stand to touch another person," he continued.
"HOW CAN SHE EVER KNOW LOVE?!"
The words hit Hinata like an anvil with a loud CHUNK.
"Well, I…" said Hinata, trying to retaliate. "I'm not happy with it! I didn't ask to be a clean freak…"
"It's a pain for you, isn't it?" he asked. Hinata looked up in surprise.
"Okay!" he said suddenly. "So let's cure you!"
'Huh?!'
"Neatness taken too far can be bad," said Naruto.
"I guess, but can you cure me?" asked Hinata, incredulous.
"If I don't, it'll be a tragedy!" said Naruto, his eyes sparkling. "You're really pretty!"
BA-DOOM went Hinata's heart as blood rushed up her face again.
KLAK went the door as Naruto opened it.
"It's all settled, then!" he said as he walked out. "I have one week to work with you!"
And with that he left.
'Who does he think he is?' Hinata thought as she touched her bright red cheek. 'I'm…I'm pretty?'
'Can he really…cure me?'
The next morning…
"Mom, where's my anti-bacterial toothbrush?" called Hinata from her bathroom
"Isn't it in the usual place?" replied her mother from downstairs. "Oh, and can you go wake up Naruto?"
Hinata felt her cheeks redden again as she thought, 'Why me?'
Her heart started to work overtime as she knocked on the guest room door.
"Naruto?"
She grasped the doorknob and twisted it.
"Naruto, wake-" she opened the door. "YIKES!!!" she yelled, her hands clapped against her mouth.
There sat Naruto in only thin flannel pajama pants.
'This…this is definitely a guy smell!' thought Hinata, trying in vain to tear her eyes away. 'And, he's…he's half naked!'
"Oh, sorry. I was looking for something and made a mess," he said, not realizing what his bare chest was making Hinata go through. "Here, Hinata."
He held out a tooth brush.
'A toothbrush?' thought Hinata as she took it from him.
"It's mine," he said perfectly without any hesitation. "I only used it once. Take it!"
Hinata's eyes flashed with confusion and anger.
BOOM
"WHAT FOR?!?" she yelled
"It's part of you cure. We're going to exchange toothbrushes!" he said calmly, pulling out Hinata's own brush and brushing swiftly.
"NO WAY!" she yelled. "And I thought that I'd lost it!"
"Besides," she continued. "I wouldn't use somebody else's toothbrush even if I wasn't mysophobic!!"
"Really? It doesn't bother me," said Naruto thoughtfully. "I wouldn't use another guy's though!" he said with a laugh.
"BUT IT'S DANGEROUS!!" yelled out Hinata.
