It was still dark at 5 am in the morning; it was totally silent in the Hyuuga mansion except for the occasional cheeps of birds outside Hinata's window
It was still dark at 5 am in the morning; it was totally silent in the Hyuuga mansion except for the occasional cheeps of birds outside the stain glass windows. Under the elegant curve of marble stairs was a small storage room with an old wooden door that looked quite out of place with the elegant furnishings of the mansion. Inside the storage room it was dreadfully dark and cramped. A tiny single bed took up most of the space inside the storage room and a petite bedside table barely squeezed in between the bed and the closed door.
On the small wooden bed a girl slept peacefully among the white covers, her legs were curled in to fit onto the bed and the white covers that covered her were patched and thread-bare. Her long, silky hair spread against the white pillow making a startling contrast between the cotton white sheets and dark midnight hair. The bluish tinge in her hair matched the dark bags under her eyes even more obvious against her pale skin. She sighed in her sleep tiredly and snuggled into the covers.
RING!! RING!! Suddenly, her alarm clock clanged wildly beside her head rocking the bedside table like a swing. Groaning silently, the girl slammed her hands onto the clock. She grabbed the pillow and stuffed it over her head muttering a string of curses that was unsuitable for her angelic face. Closing her eyes, she fell asleep again almost instantly.
After what seemed almost a second later, a screeching voice came from upstairs: "Hinata, where are my fluffy slippers." Hinata raised her head from her pillow. She opened her eyes blearily to look at her alarm clock. "Oh crap," she muttered. "Seven o'clock already." She hurriedly got up from bed and pulled on her plain jeans and t-shirt. Ducking out of her tiny room under the stairs she ran up the marble stairs quickly while attempting to pull her messy hair into a bun. "HINATA!!" the voice rose to a scream. "WHERE ARE YOU??"
"Coming, onee-san." Hinata yelled nervously. She ran through the long corridor upstairs puffing as she struggled to get her jacket on. Bursting through a cream coloured door with 'Sakura' in pink letterings glued onto it, she fell into a room painted in bubble gum pink.
A cream coloured bed with elaborate flower decorations carved onto the headboard stood in the middle of the room. Bright pink covers trimmed with lace and printed with red love hearts was strewn messily onto the bed. Sitting on the covers was a pretty girl with a nasty expression on her face. She was wearing a pink night gown with lace collars and her waist length pink hair was braided into thousands of tiny plaits.
"Where were you?" Demanded Sakura sitting in her pink lacy bed.
Sorry, onee-san." Muttered Hinata. "I was attending to Ino-sama."
"That pig." Screamed Sakura loudly chucking a pink soft toy at Hinata's head making her duck. "I'll throttle her. Go and get my fluffy slippers NOW, Hinata."
"Yes, Sakura-sama." Hinata whispered as she rushed to the wardrobe searching for her older sister's fluffy slippers. Trying to sort through the avalanche of clothing and shoes, Hinata tried hard not to burst into tears. (Yes, Hinata is very emotional)
"Hinata," Sakura demanded loudly. "Did you sleep in and forgot to sort through my wardrobe AGAIN??"
"N… No, Sa… Sakura-sama." Whispered Hinata nervously. "I had to help Ino-sama with her English assignment this morning." Actually that was yesterday afternoon. Hinata added silently in her head. She had to finish hers yesterday night and fell asleep at 12 even through she still hasn't finished yet. No wonder, she couldn't get up this morning.
"Well, Hinata," Sakura said imperiously. "I decide that I am going to have some of your famous pancakes this morning" Sakura added evilly knowing that Ino hated them even through Hinata made really delicious pancakes
"Yes Sakura-sama" Muttered Hinata.
Grabbing Sakura's fluffy bunny slippers, Hinata settled it gently onto the carpet next to her sister's feet and before Sakura could say another word Hinata rushed out of her room. Running along the corridor Hinata tiptoed to a stop outside an aquamarine blue door with dark blue glitter spread over it. Pushing open the door quietly, Hinata peeked in to check whether Ino was still asleep. The platinum blond girl was still sleeping between her baby blue covers. Creeping past her, Hinata quietly fetched Ino's blue piggy slippers from her slightly neater wardrobe. Setting it onto Ino's sheepskin rug Hinata began shaking Ino gently on the shoulder.
"Ino sama," Hinata called quietly. "It's time to wake up for school."
Ino muttered incoherently and turned over without even stirring.
"Ino sama," Called Hinata, louder this time. "You better hurry up or you'll be late."
Still no response from Ino. Hinata looked worriedly at the door and shook Ino harder. Before Hinata could wake Ino up Sakura barged in through the door in her night gown screaming. Sakura jumped right onto Ino and began tugging her sister's hair shouting 'pig'. Of course, Ino woke up after that and began throwing wild punches which nearly hit Hinata. Sakura kept on wrestling with her sister's long blond hair until Ino rolled off her bed onto the floor. Hinata took that as her queue to leave and disappeared out of Ino's room before any of Ino's wild punches could fly any where near her face.
By the time Hinata finished with the pancakes and tidied up Sakura's wardrobe, both of her sisters have finished their cat fight and was coming down the stairs still fuming at each other. Ino's long golden hair was tied back in a tight pony tail with only her trademark fringe left out of her neat ponytail. She was wearing a dark blue plaid mini skirt and a white turtle neck with no sleeves. A string of black pearls hung at her neck contrasting nicely with the white wool of the turtle neck. She was wearing red ankle boots with her matching red shoulder bag which was serving as her school bag for today. She had subtle make up that looked natural and the sapphire studs in her ears brought out her light blue eyes.
Sakura has taken out all the plaits in her hair so that it was flaxen rather than straight. (Sakura actually bothered to plait her hair yesterday night because she just got hair extensions. She did it with Hinata's help of course.) Her hair was loosely tied up with a long red ribbon that trailed down her back entwined with her hair. Her hanging ruby earrings bobbed with her head every time she turned to glare at Ino who was ignoring her. An emerald-green satin bow was tied at her neck complimenting the sea green sun dress that she wore. Her silver sandals had long elegant straps which twisted around her tanned skin. Her make up was slightly heavier than Ino's since Sakura has the habit of using more makeup when she is cross.
Hinata sighed inwardly as she did every time her sisters came down stairs in their nice clothes and makeup. With mean sisters who teased her nastily every time they weren't arguing with each other and a naturally low self esteem Hinata constantly felt ugly. Feeling as if another second of looking at her spoilt but beautiful sisters will make her vomit, Hinata grabbed a pancake, took her bag and rushed out of the house.
