She stirred in her bed after feeling her covers being dragged off of her. She groaned looking at the sun shining in through her window. She pulled the covers back over her head and held onto them with dear life as she felt them being tugged out of her grasp. Flipping them over her head she sat up frustrated and looked over at the small girl looking at her with a Cheshire cat style grin from ear to ear.
"Why do you always do this Hanabi-chan? What time is it?" she said flipping the sheets off of her then putting her slippers on.
"Obviously your alarm didn't wake you up again! Anyways its 8:30am! Gosh Onee-chan! I'm younger than you but I'm more mature! How does that add up? Dad told me to get you up! Do you want to make us late!" Hanabi-chan said looking at her older sister in the eyes with mischief in her own. She watched as her sister got up getting her dressing gown on. They both looked at each other when they heard the doorbell ring. "dads not going to be happy" she teased her sister while sticking her tongue out.
"8:30am! Ugh! Hanabi-chan just tell dad I'll be down in a minute! Ok?" she then looked down at her sister's fully clothed body. "why are you fully dressed? Aren't you normally still in your Tinkerbelle PJ's at this time?" she said with confusion in her voice.
"well considering I remembered about us moving today then i think I have a pretty good excuse now you should get dressed and pack the last of your things. Dad said you cant have any food until then Onee-chan so if I were you I'd hurry." She held back her laugh as she saw her sister's eyes widen just remembering that they were meant to be boarding a ten hour flight to their new home in Japan. "and dad knows about you coming in late last night...so if you don't hurry I think he might actually kill you this time Onee-chan!"
On that note Hanabi left the room and went downstairs after shutting the door. She decided to hurry with this. Her dad was fuming last night when she came in late but this would probably throw him over the edge. She looked at her watch. '8:35am' she only had a few minutes to get the last of her things packed up AND to have her breakfast. But she found it all worth it she was finally leaving the place that gave her so much misery to the beginning of her life but she was wondering what she would find ahead of her at her new home. She hadn't seen her cousin for almost two years since it started getting pretty bad around that time I guess he just didn't want to get too involved in case he snapped like last time. She sighed as she quickly took the warm fuzzy lilac robe off and then proceeded to her wardrobe where only one outfit hung. She looked at it and sighed again holding against her body while looking in the mirror. The purple halter top with a frilly bottom hung very elegantly on the hanger that she felt bad removing it but knowing that her dad would be coming up the stairs any minute she quickly took it off of the hanger and took off her black and white night dress. She got the top on realising it was more like a dress she took another look at the hanger and saw her grey skinny jeans and wondered if she really needed them this time. But then looking at her legs she decided she wasn't ready to leave the dress top to flow on her skin just yet with that thought she got her skinny jeans on and done them up after throwing her hair back over her shoulders she packed up her stuff then manically looked for her hair brush as she heard footsteps coming toward her bedroom from the stairs. She started to panic as she found her hair brush and started to brush through her long black locks tinted with a small shimmer of navy blue and sat on her bed calmly then packed her hair brush in her smallest suitcase and looked towards the door as it slowly creeped open and she pulled her hair back and pinned it up so it looked like a peakcocks tail going down her pale back.
"wow so this is what you look like now?" she heard a husky male voice say. Her eyes widened as she felt her cheeks heat up she stared down at the floor and started twiddling her index fingers as she slowly turned towards her balcony. "what I don't even get a hello now? Hinata-chan you really need to drop this habit! Its just me!" she heard the husky male say as he walked towards her and touched her stomach slowly making her turn to him.
Hinata looked up slowly to see her cousin she gasped at realising that he was actually there and it wasn't a dream. She looked at his eyes burying into her and she slowly opened her arms then jumped at him feeling like she was going to cry. "why didn't you come and see me! Neji-kun! I needed you!" she said trying to fight back the tears that threatened to leave her eyes.
He slowly stroked her back and then blew in her ear to make her stop her whining. "my father wouldn't let me...i would've come otherwise! You know that! I so wanted to come to make sure that you and Hanabi-chan had gotten rid of that ass for good but its nothing to worry about ok! I'm here now and I'm taking you and your family to japan ok?" he said looking into her pale eyes and stroking away her tears. "come on cheer up!"
Hinata then looked at the door at her father who had a quite satisfied yet angry look on his face as he stared at the two teens. "do you guys want me to leave you honestly! Hinata get downstairs and eat your breakfast Neji and me are going to take your bags down to the car ok?" Hinata looked at her fathers stern yet subtle look and nodded in agreement after bowing to her cousin she swiftly went downstairs to join her sister with their quick breakfast that their father had made them.
Finally arriving at their destination neji woke up to see his sleeping cousin, sleeping silently and peacefully on his chest. He smiled slightly at her then slowly started to wake her up as the car slowly came to a stop.
Hinata slowly sat up looking at the mansion that she was now calling her home and rubbed her eyes slowly as the car door was opened by one of her cousins maids. "welcome home hinata-chan. Hanabi-chan you can get out first if you wish." He said as hinata's father got out from the black limo that stood in the driveway.
Hanabi got out gasping at how big the mansion was then looking over her shoulder to notice a small crowd forming just down the path from the gates to the mansion. Neji and hinata soon got out leaving the maids and butlers to carry the luggage into the mansion that was their home.
Looking at hinata's shocked blushed face he guessed that she was happy along with her younger sister. "my friends should be here soon. I've not been in for a while and they have been texting me so I said that they could come on over and greet you lot to the neighbourhood if you don't mind that is." He said looking at his uncle who frowned down on his nephew. "it bothers you doesn't it?" neji said with some hurt in his voice.
"how long has it been since your father passed away neji?" he said shocking all of them.
Neji looked sternly at his cousin and his uncle. Damn it he is too good! Man I didn't want to worry hinata-chan! Now look at her! Ugh! Uncle's are so annoying! He thought while staring at hinata's shocked expression. "2 days...some idiot tried to break in...he was just trying to defend me...as if he recognised him or something...the gate's lock was broken and so was the house alarm...the guy...stabbed dad...but that isn't what killed him...the guy plunged his muddy foot into the wound knowing it would infect and considering how close it was to his heart even if the medics got to him they wouldn't of been able to save him..."he said looking down at the floor with full on anger in his voice.
"hmm...i see...well I am going to go to my firm and make them aware that I have arrived here safely." He said looking at his nephew who was clearly hurt by him asking that question so carelessly. "ok then uncle...thank you for asking about father...at least he knows that you still think about him..." he said trying to hold in his anger as his uncle headed for the door.
Hinata stood there looking at her cousin not knowing what to do. Neji looked at her with sympathetic eyes. Why is he looking at me as if to say sorry? Oh neji-kun...why can't you understand I am here for you...with that she decided to break the awkward silence as her father shut the front door behind him. "Neji-kun...ummm...i'm sorry...i don't know what to say..." with that he walked over to her and grabbed her arm before bringing her in for a hug.
Hanabi looked at her cousin and her sister then decided to leave them alone for a bit. "ummm...i'm going to find the bathroom...neji...i'm sorry..." she then wondered off up the staircase which was on her left hand side.
"why are you apologising you silly girl? It's not your fault that my father decided to protect the house while I was cleaning up after dinner...he thought he could protect himself against the maniac but just couldn't...i tried to stop him but he just told me stay and not to follow him...but at least I am safe and able to protect you again." He said while stroking her back softly as her pale skin heated up from her cousin's hug.
She knew the real reason why he hadn't gone to see her in almost 2 years. She knew it had to be because of what happened to him last time he came to England to see her...she knew it was her fault...oh neji-kun! I missed you and I am so sorry for everything...i am glad you didn't come back...i couldn't stand to see you like that again...thank god the man didn't touch you at least you are still here!
Neji then looked up at the front door as the doorbell went and what looked like 3 figures on the other side of the glass door. "excuse me for a second ok hinata-chan?" he moved slowly away from her as she nodded twiddling her index fingers while looking at the floor.
Neji walked over to the door left out a massive sigh before opening it to a blond spikey headed boy with sky blue eyes wearing a black and orange hoody and dark blue skinny jeans with a skull hanging loosely around his waist with black and white kickers smiling at him with his arm around the shoulders of a slightly taller boy with brown spiked hair and sunglasses covering his eyes and a black scarf around his neck but still covering his mouth because it was obviously too long considering it was wrapped around him about 4 times with it still trailing close to floor on the front and back of his body. Neji looked down the scarfed boy to see him wearing a white hoody with a bug design on the back and black sweat pants along with the same pair of black and white kickers that the blond boy had. He then turned his attention to a brown haired girl with her hair in two ponytails on either side of her head tied with two grey ribbons she looked at neji slightly blushing as she moved her hand from her mouth down to her side. He followed her hand to see her wearing a red japenese style top which was tighly tugging onto her hourglass figure with 3 ¼ length trousers with a red butterfly going down the right trouser leg and her red sandels complimenting her tanned feet.
"well are you going to invite us in or what neji! We just came a long way to see you! Or are we still not cool enough for you?" said the blond boy smiling cheekily at neji who just put his hand up.
Neji smiled slightly then high fived the blond boy. "get in here uzumaki and just try and be nice my cousins just got here from England alright?" neji then blocked the door tilting his head for hinata to go to the living room as naruto tried looking for her.
"oh is that the hot one that you showed me the picture of! Oh come on lemme see neji! Come on I'll be nice after that!" naruto said trying to barge past him to take a look. Neji looked to the other boy for help.
"shino can you control that perv for me or he aint coming in!" neji said walking into the house leaving the door open for his guests while shino grabbed naruto around the waist and carried him in with the girl following behind them.
"hinata-chan? Do you want me to show you to your room now?" neji asked walking into the living room to see his cousin sat on one of the leather couches in the living room still twiddling her index fingers. He smiled softly and walked over to her holding her fingers in his hand as she slowly looked up at him. She hadn't realised but he hadn't really changed since she last saw him. His hair was still long going down his back but tied back in a loose ponytail. His eyes were still a soft lilacy white colour just as her's were. The only thing that had really changed was that he was taller and, as much as she hated to admit it, he was alot buffer than before. The tight black skull shirt that tugged onto his muscles looked as if it was about to rip off of his perfect form. The skinny jeans that he was wearing tugged onto his toned legs nicely and the kickers that was wearing completed the outfit. She looked at his soft smiling face and noticed that their relationship was still strong even after the incident he got involved in.
"AH! So this is the ever famous Hina-chan! Neji! How could you hide her from us!" naruto said jumping onto neji's back startling hinata. She looked up at naruto and instantly felt her heart pound like a gavel being slammed on the judges table at a court case. "u...um p-pleased to m-meet you." With that she stood up and bowed at the group behind neji.
"so tenten what do you think?" naruto said to tenten causing everyone to look at her.
"hmm...good fashion sense..." she started circling hinata checking out every part of her body. "she is still shy though...dont worry darling we will make you confident you got my word." Tenten then hugged her slightly before feeling hinata shift in her arms as if tenten was burning her. "you ok hina-chan?" tenten said holding her chin as she let her go. " you acted as if I was burning you!"
Neji looked over at hinata who started twiddling her fingers looking at the floor again. "come hinata-chan I'll take you to your room. Guys just chill out down here...oh yeah tenten? Sasuke coming over today?" he said looking at tenten as hinata walked over to the stairs. "hmmmm...i think so yeah he texted me this morning then just as we arrived to confirm it aswell..." neji looked swiftly at Naruto and Shino. "Sorry guys but you gotta get outta here before Sasuke comes k?"
"Hmpf! I thought we were your friends! Not that stupid chicken-butt headed freak! What's so good 'bout that bitch anyway!" shouted Naruto getting up his sky blue eyes slowly turning red with anger. "Carry on and you can get out now!" Neji shouted back. "You know I've been mates with Sasuke since kindergarten! You're lucky I even let you come round Naru-chan! Now shut the fuck up and sit down before I change my mind!" Naruto looked towards Neji's serious eyes before taking a glimpse at Hinata who was walking towards them. "Why should i! You aren't being a true friend to us Neji!" he started walking towards Neji with a death look in his eyes.
Hinata then ran in front of Neji shielding him from Naruto. "Leave Neji-kun alone!" she shocked everyone there but Neji. He put his hand on her shoulder causing her to look at him. "Hinata-chan I'll be fine...he just has a bad temper...if he bothers you..." he looks up at Naruto his eyes starting to cause the veins on his face show. "You let me know got it? I'm not having ANYONE mess with you here!" she touched his hand with her cheek causing him to instantly calm down.
"Hmpf! Listening to a girl! I never knew you got this weak Hyuga!" with that Neji slid Hinata behind her before the veins started to show up around his eyes again. "What's up with your eyes Neji-kun!" Tenten said scared about the veins. "it's a rare eye condition called Byakuganesis our family is born with it...like how some families, or clans, as you call them here have their eyes change colour with seasons or when their emotion changes...our family just has the veins around our eyes start to bulge as we get uncontrollably annoyed...normally no one in our family can stop the others it's not meant to happen but me and Neji caused our families doctor to be astonished...as I can calm Neji down..." Hinata said while touching her cousins' hand softly causing him to calm down.
Naruto looked at the shy girl as she started to blush feeling his eyes on her. "Huh. So you're pretty smart then Hina-chan? Hmm...well when you start school don't go with your cousin and forget us all...you might as well come and join our group...of course Tenten is with Neji you will see them often passing through our group." He said smiling a teethy grin at her his sparkling sky blue eyes melting into her.
"U-u-umm...I'll think about it Naruto-kun..." she said looking at him still blushing with her hand at her mouth making her a little muffled when she spoke. He smiled at her with his eyes shut then started to head for the door after brushing his hand against her cheek. "See you around Hina-chan! Shino! Let's get going before dickhead turns up!" Shino got up then bowed his head at the others before leaving. As the door shut Neji let out a big sigh then looked over at his blushing cousin and smiled softly. "liking Uzumaki now are ya?" he softly chuckled as he said it then took her hand gently before nodding at Tenten who started to follow them up the stairs.
"I do not Neji-kun! " Hinata said blushing as she felt her cheek still tingling of Naruto's touch. She looked at her cousin who was smiling with his eyes at her but still looked pissed off and emotionless in his face. "your room is right here...hopefully Hanabi-chan found hers' ok...I'll go and check now." He unlocked the door and gave her the key before walking off leaving Tenten with Hinata and went up another flight of stairs to Hanabi's bedroom and their father's.
Hinata looked around the room which had a queen sized bed pushed up against one of the soft lilac walls near to the balcony window that was at the back of her massive room. She softly smiled to herself remembering when she first came to visit Neji and her uncle when she was little.
-Flashback-
A young Hinata with short hair and a thick full fringe across her face appeared opening the door to the room she smiled then felt someone hug her from behind she jumped and let out a small squeal of shock before turning around to see a young Neji with his hair still quite long and pulled back quite like it is now.
"Neji-kun...why do I have this room while we stay here? I'm only here for a little while..." she said before he put his hand over her mouth.
"Because the walls match your eyes...uncle and my dad wanted you to have this room before you born anyway...so just be happy with it...i have to go now and check on my dad...I'll umm...see you later Hinata-chan." Neji said turning to go downstairs leaving Hinata to look at the enormous room that stood before her.
She smiled softly before touching the walls softly and looking around the room.
-End Flashback-
So he still wants me to have this room. Hinata softly smiled to herself before looking at Tenten who was calling her name. "Hey Hinata? You want me to help you unpack?" she said looking at the several suitcases and bags that had been set on the floor all over her room.
"Umm...Hanabi has more stuff than me...i think I'll be fine thank you ten-chan." Hinata said not trying to sound rude. Tenten smiled before nodding and following where Neji had gone.
Hinata looked at her biggest suitcase and sighed as she walked to the door closing and locking it. She then grabbed the biggest suitcase and set it on the floor slowly and unpacking her stuff slowly and carefully.
Downstairs there was a knock on the door then a long ring on the doorbell. Neji ran down the stairs and opened the door to see a boy with spiked black in the style of a chicken-butt. He was wearing a dark blue hoody with his clans' emblem on the back then looking down Neji saw his new tight leather trousers that had a chain hanging on his left leg with black kickers to complete the outfit.
"Sasuke Uchiha...you took your time! Were you with your bitch again?" Neji said with a slight laugh in his voice. Sasuke looked at him with daggers in his eyes.
"Hmpf! I see you've had Uzumaki over here then I thought I told you to leave him alone!" Sasuke said sounding as if he was getting ready to drive a stake through Neji's heart. "hmpf! I told you Sasuke I'm not ditching my friends and becoming like you! I refuse to! Everyone else can but I won't so just shut the fuck up before I make you!" Neji said trying to control himself.
Fucking hell! Doesn't he understand that I can chose my friends whether he likes it or not! Fucking dickhead! If it weren't for his older brother I would send him home with a bloody nose! Hopefully I can teach him one of these days! Neji thought while looking at his so-called best friend. "so you gonna get your ass in here or not?" he said in an emotionless tone.
"do you think that's anyway to be talking to your best friend Neji?" Sasuke said while walking into Neji's house. "so I heard that Tenten is here. Send her into the living room then you can get on with your shit." Sasuke said not even looking at Neji as he shut the door. "so your not even gonna ask!" Neji said with anger building in his voice.
"ask what? What is there to ask?" Sasuke said blankly staring at him with his black eyes. "about how I'm feeling! Didn't you know my dad was killed two nights ago!" Neji yelled trying to fight back the tears of anger that were threatening to pour from his eyes.
"well to be honest I didn't think much of it. The last time you told me that something had really upset you was when you came back from London and that you missed your cousin or something. So I didn't think to ask!" Sasuke said turning to the living room.
"get out of my house Uchiha! I will not have you speak about my beautiful cousin like that! You are making it sound like I wanted to help her out of prostitution when you know the reason why I was so god damn upset! So don't you dare talk 'bout Hinata like that! Get out! I've had enough of your shit to last me a lifetime!" Neji shouted opening the front door.
"Neji-kun?" he turned stunned to see Hinata standing there and not hearing her come down the stairs. "is everything ok? I heard shouting." She said looking at Sasuke with a worried look on her face before looking at her cousin.
"I'm fine just get back up to your room ok?" Neji said looking at Sasuke giving him a look that said shut the fuck up or piss off outta my house with that Sasuke looked at Hinata with an evil smirk. "let me show your cousin around first Neji. she needs to see the town she is living in now and who best to do that than your best friend?" he said walking toward Hinata who was walking behind Neji.
"I'd rather not...i don't know you and I would want to go with my cousin...so you might as well go and leave my cousin alone..." she said looking at the floor remembering England before gripping onto Neji's shirt and then burying her head into his back.
"Hmpf! Fine then you little cry baby stay here with your cousin! But at school you better watch out! He won't be in all of your classes! I'll make sure of that!" Sasuke snapped before storming out of the house slamming the door behind him.
"Ohhh! Yummy! Whose gawjuss ass was that just leaving the house?" the two teenagers turned around to see Hanabi and Tenten standing on the stairs looking at the door. "So Hina-chan you don't like Sasu-kun?" Tenten said walking slowly over to them.
Hinata bowed her head and shook her head slowly. "Ah don't sweat it he thinks that he's all that anyway Neji-kun will make sure that he won't touch you so don't worry" she said touching her back in a friendly way.
"Do you think Gaara will be coming over today?" Neji said looking at the door. "Hmmm...He normally comes with Sasuke I was surprised not to see him today...but I could give him a call if you want?" Tenten said getting her phone out.
"No don't...if he decides to come then he will...i need to get these two properly settled in anyway-"Neji said looking at Tenten. "I don't mind you having your friends over Neji-kun! Please don't change that for our sake." Hinata interrupted her cousin causing them all to look at her.
"Tell you what! I'll take you out and get you some stuff for school k?" he smiled at her grabbing his keys to his Ferrari then walking towards the door.
"Hanabi can come with me in my Lamborghini cause I know you don't have enough room." Tenten said smiling at Hanabi. "Sure thing if it's ok with Hanabi of course!" Neji said looking at his younger cousin. "Sure thing cuz! Where we going? I need need need some new clothes! Good clothes mind though!" Hanabi said smiling up at Tenten.
"to the mall obviously! Come on Hana-chan!" they ran to the front door. "last one there buys the drinks." Tenten said running to her car. "fine by me! I always win anyway! Come on Hinata! We can do this!" he said grabbing her hand then locking the door as he shut it behind him. They got into their cars then waited at the nearest traffic lights side by side preparing to race. "ummm...Neji-kun how fast are we going to go?" Hinata said with a worried voice.
As soon as the lights turned green they were off Tenten speeding straight down the road while Neji done a Tokyo drift around the left corner Neji looked at Hinata and smiled as they came to a ramp at the end of the road Neji sped up to 70 mph. The car lifted off of the ground and landed in the car park. They both got out of the car Hinata started laughing as he grabbed her hand laughing as they ran towards the food court and sat down at one of the tables with a menu on.
"do you always do that!" Hinata said trying to calm down by all of the excitement causing her adrenaline to go threw the roof. "nah! I tried last week when I found that ramp and so I decided to try it out! That knocked like 10 minutes off of my record time!" Neji said laughing as he hugged his cousin. It was such a rush Hinata hadn't felt that way for a long time. She knew her cousin was crazy about his car but racing like that! It blew her mind.
"man Neji! your an even worse adrenaline junky than before!" Hinata said smiling at Neji. "well I needed to get stronger for when I went to see you again I started going gym and getting my courage up by going theme parks all over and doing drag racing! Then my mates got into it. Tenten taught me everything to start off with so I just learnt from her then it was just amateur stuff to me!" Neji said still laughing about the old times. Hinata smiled then noticed someone watching them she gently tugged on Neji's top. He looked at her then where she was looking he smiled then signalled for the boy to go over to them.
"Gaara get your ass over here!" Neji said laughing as the crimson headed boy who looked like he had the blackest eye liner on his clear eyes she looked down seeing that he had a red and brown hoody on slightly showing the tight white top that he had on underneath the hoody. She then looked down again to see his black ripped skinny jeans tugging onto his legs she smiled as he was wearing the same kickers as Neji. "What do you want Hyuga?" Gaara said coldly as he reached their table. Hinata looked at him shocked at the tone of his voice.
"Ah don't tell me Sasuke already told you I bitched him at my house! He had no right to be talking like that! It was my house you know what he's like sand boy!" Neji said a slight sarcasm in his voice. Hinata looked at him wondering how he got so cocky...she didn't care she still felt safe with him.
"NEJI! HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET HERE SO QUICK!" they turned around to see Tenten and Hanabi standing out of breath on the other side of the food court. Hinata and Neji couldn't help but laugh out loud. Gaara stared at Hinata. He couldn't help it. The way the light touched her pale skin causing her to have a slight glow. He loved the length of her hair and he wanted to feel how soft she was. He noticed that she had the same eyes as. Ah! So this is his cousin is it? Well she looks more confident than she gives off...oh well she will get more confident around Neji...but by the way Sasuke spoke earlier he's gonna make her life hell. He smiled at himself. Whose side should I take? This will be an interesting battle.
"we took my new shortcut! You should see your faces! God! Where's my camera when I need it!" Neji said falling to the floor laughing as Tenten came over to the three at the table. "Hey! Crimson head! Are you gay?" Hanabi said staring at the eyeliner around Gaara's eyes.
"Hanabi! Don't be so rude! Sorry Gaara was it?" she said looking at Gaara. "No I'm not. And if I were you I'd be careful what you say to people. We aren't so understanding over here little girl." Gaara said staring emotionless at Hanabi his pale eyes stabbing into her's.
"Umm...sorry...Gaara..." Hanabi managed to stutter out. They all stared at Gaara before Neji punched him in the arm causing Gaara to stare at Neji. "And you'll be careful how you talk to my cousin's!" Neji said trying to keep himself calm.
"So you decided what drinks you want guys?" Tenten said standing in front of Gaara then bending over. "Umm yeah I'm gonna have a coke Tenten and so will Hinata." Neji said a hint of cockiness was detected in his voice as he gave a cheeky smile at Tenten who walked over to the drink stand in a huff.
"Ha! Should get a better car!" he shouted after her. "So what clothes do you want Hinata?" Neji said looking away from Tenten who put her middle finger up at him while sticking her tongue out. "Umm not too sure. Hanabi will help me wont you sis?" Hinata said to Hanabi trying to sound a little cooler and more confident than she felt. "Sure thing I'm gonna make sure that you get over your fear of not being able to wear short things! Shorts are the first then skirts! Then dresses! You are now in my training camp for showing off them gawjuss legs! Understand misses?" Hanabi said smiling while pointing at Hinata. They both smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Well Gaara when the girls go off for their shopping wanna go to the arcade?" Neji said looking at Gaara who was staring at Hinata's bare back that she had turned to him while talking to Hanabi. "sure I'll go with you if you pay this time. Temari and Kunkuro are off shopping for clothes to so you lot might run into them." He said as the two girls looked at him.
Hanabi smiled at him and nodded along with Hinata. As Tenten got back they stayed to chat and make friends before they went off in their two groups. Neji gave Hinata 200,000 ¥ and Hanabi got 1000 ¥ as Tenten was buying her stuff but she already had enough clothes.
The next day Hinata sat up at the sound of her alarm. Turning it off she looked to her locked door which had her outfit for the day hanging on it. Tenten and Hanabi had forced her to promise that she was going to wear it. Hinata let out a sigh and smiled before walking over to the bag taking out the lilac Jane Norman boob tube dress and black international shorts she smiled at herself hoping that this would help her out. She then walked to her wardrobe taking out her white high heels that she bought from England in her favourite shoe shop faith she smiled and laid her outfit on the bed then went into her on-suite bathroom. She had a shower before walking out to her bedroom with her purple towel wrapped around her and her hair wrapped up in a smaller towel. She dried herself before drying her hair with her hair dryer. She looked at her clock 5:30am. She smiled at herself then got out her hair curlers as she brushed her hair she plugged her GHD's in and waited 4 seconds before they heated up. She started curling the end of the long locks then got her strapless white bra and matching thong on before getting her outfit on then her shoes and she grabbed her bag then her keys, phone and purse before walking out of her bedroom door then walking down the stairs to see Neji and his mates along with Hanabi waiting at the door. It was now 7:30 and she had been doing her hair.
"Hiya Hinata! See I told you that was the best way to go! You look totally awesome! You are coming in my car today! I am soo putting make up on you!" Tenten said hugging her as she came over to her.
Hinata looked around her everyone's eyes were on her. She blushed slightly then looked up at Gaara who was staring at her legs. "Woah! Total transformation from yesterday Hina-chan!" Neji said hugging her and kissing her cheek. "If anyone touches you just let me know ok?" he whispered in her ear before turning to his mates signalling that they should get going as everyone was there.
It was now 7:45am everyone had arrived at school Hinata took a deep breath before getting out of Tenten's car and walking into the school but she turned just as she got to the door to the school at the feeling of someone staring at her. When she turned around she saw that Gaara and Naruto that had just arrived at school were staring at her. She smiled then winked as she walked in with Tenten.
"ok so who do you want to sit with? I mean you are gonna be hanging out with me and Neji right?" Tenten said with a hopeful smile on her face. "Will Sasuke be with you?" Hinata said reluctantly. Tenten slowly nodded causing Hinata to breathe deeply. "I don't know...i have to go to the headmistress's office before anything else...so ummm...wanna take me there?" Hinata said looking at all of the eyes that were on her as she walked down the corridors of Konohagakure high school. "You sure you don't want one of the guys to take you? They have been talking about you nonstop since Naruto and Gaara met you. So it's really your choice." Tenten said nudging Hinata while raising her eyebrow. Hinata shook her head and linked her arm through Tenten's. They smiled and laughed with each other as they walked down towards the headmistress's office.
Tenten knocked on the door then walked towards her classroom. Hinata waited nervously as the door opened. "Come in!" a voice on the other side. Hinata opened the door and walked in to see the headmistress with another student who must be new being there with her so early in the morning.
"Hinata Hyuga?" the headmistress said without even looking up at her. "We've been waiting for you. I'm your headmistress. But just call me Tsunade got it?" she said smiling at Hinata and the other girl. They both nodded as Hinata sat down next to the other girl.
Hinata looked over her shoulder at the other girl. She had long light brown hair just down to her elbows with blonde and auburn highlights she smiled at Hinata. Hinata smiled back liking her outfit. A black and white stripped top which complemented her curves nicely then she had black jeggings along with white leather boots. Hinata smiled at how cool and casual the girl looked. "I'm Heather Fitzpatrick. Nice to meet you." The girl said holding her hand out to Hinata. They shook hands. "Yeah I'm Hinata Hyuga nice to meet you too." They both laughed a little.
"Well you are both new here and I would like you both to take your schedules and follow my receptionist Shizune to your first period class." She said handing the girls their class schedules then called Shizune in to take them to class 13B on corridor 3. The two girls started gossiping about where they had come from and what they were into. In the two minutes that it took them to get to the classroom they had both come from London and they were into almost the exact same things. They were both happy to know they had a good friend at their new school so they exchanged phone numbers and made sure that they were to stay in contact.
"Well here we are. Have fun you two and just don't cause any trouble for Tsunade ok?" Shizune said smiling then letting the teacher know that they had arrived. The two girls walked in. "ah! Hello girls nice to have you join my class." Their teacher Iruka sensei they smiled at him. "Would you like to tell us something about yourselves? You can go together considering you look quite close." Iruka said as Shizune left them to it.
"Well my name is Heather Fitzpatrick and this is my gawjuss new best friend Hinata Hyuga. We both came here from London in England. My favourite colour is pink hers is lilac. And we both totally love r 'n' b, a bit of rock and punk rock we like the same animes and mangas and we both hope to do well in that industry when we are older...that good enough?" Heather said smiling at Hinata and Iruka.
"Yeah and very detailed. Please take your seats on the empty table at the back." The two girls nodded then done as they were instructed.
Gaara looked at the two girls before looking back at Sasuke and Neji. "Hey do you know that long haired boy? He has similar eyes to you Hina-chan!" Heather said hugging Hinata. "Yeah I do...he's my cousin." Hinata said smiling at her new best friend. "Wow! What's his name?" Heather said sounding intrigued. "Neji and I have a younger sister called Hanabi. We live at his mansion." Hinata said a confident smile on her face.
"You are so lucky...my family didn't want me anymore...that's why I moved here. But just remember that you are my best friend...you and Nicole of course!" Heather said giggling then taking her phone out and showing Hinata a picture of her and another girl with light brown hair and brown coloured eyes. "I owe a lot to her. I'm living with her and her mum now! They are really nice! You'll probably like them too Hina-chan! And Nicole get's a bit jealous though...but I'll explain she'll understand. She is in a different class...i think" Heather said laughing. She then took out her headphones and plugged them into her mobile and her then fed them up her top then around her neck and plugged one of her ears with a head phone.
"Isn't that against the rules?" Hinata asked Heather worried that she might caught. "So? All I know is that I can't be asked to listen to the teachers apparently this school is teaching the stuff we were learning in London so I can do it easy peasy watch." Heather said turning on her music opening her text book and her math book then doing all of the questions within 5 minutes. She then sat back and looked at her song choices. "Do you like Jonas brothers? Miley Cyrus or Aly and AJ?" Heather said skimming through her song choices. Hinata nodded to all of them. "Good lol so you will like coming to my house. I always listen to their stuff! So you wanna come over tonight?" Heather said smiling then putting on before the storm by the Jonas brothers and Miley Cyrus. She then started nodding her head in time with the music.
"Miss Fitzpatrick could you please get on with your work? We do not have time for you to be acting like a child in class." Iruka sensei said looking at her. "who said I didn't do my work already and if you haven't noticed we are still classified as kids sensei so I am technically allowed to act like this." Heather said showing him her work. Working out all neat and done at college grade level. "Anything else sensei?" she said smiling cheekily.
"Umm...no...Nothing..."Iruka sensei stuttered taking her books down to his desk. "Wow Fitz you done your work already! Where are you hiding your calculator!" Naruto said standing over her. "I'm not hiding anything apart from my headphones. I'm listening to music. Anything else?" she said looking at his sky blue eyes with her bright hazel eyes. "Yeah I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to have you in our class. This is Shino and Shikamaru. The girls are Ino and Sakura. You wanna hang out with us?" Naruto said smiling at Heather and Hinata. "You alright Hina?" he said to Hinata. "Yeah sure we'll hang with you lot but you piss me off and you will feel it...understand me?" Heather said looking up at him.
"so you're recruiting more losers eh Uzumaki?" Sasuke said with a smug voice. "who you calling losers chicken butt! You sit there thinking that you are all that when you're really exactly the same as all of us here. Let me guess. You have an older brother and you use him as a weapon?" he sat there staring at her with dagger eyes she smirked at him getting up as he started to walk over to her. Heather winked at Hinata then put a song on then put her phone down her bra then walked over to him. "I'm right aren't i? Hmpf! I have the perfect song that describes you! And I guarantee that at some point in time I will make you do as the song says. Ever heard kicking and screaming by miley Cyrus? Hm. Well you should listen to it. How about you sit down to listen to it?" she then punched him in the stomach making him go to sit down before she 'accidentally moved his chair' causing him to fall to the floor. "now whose the looser? You piece of scum?" with that she turned back down to her now friends. "so when does lesson finish?" she sat back down next to Hinata and took her phone out of her bra then started texting Nicole. The bell then rang. "I'll get you Fitz! Just you watch!" Sasuke shouted through his grunting. "Oh boohoo! Like I care! I've been through worse! Tbh I'll be waiting sweetie" she shouted back as she grabbed her bag then linked arms with Hinata and Naruto then walked out of the class door.
"Well well well so you already have some friends in class then?" Heather turned right then hugged her bestest friend Nicole. They both looked quite similar. They were almost the same height...almost. "Hinata. Naruto this is the ever gawjuss Nicole!" Heather said poking Nicole.
"Hiya guys. She didn't cause any trouble did she?" Nicole asked looking at how happy Heather was. "Only to Sasuke but he deserved it. You have heard of him right?" Naruto said glomping Heather.
"Who hasn't? A might be in some other classes but I know him alright! Anyways babe what you got now?" Nicole said turning to Heather. "English with Kakashi." Heather said looking at Hinata. "Oh mines different Heather...i guess I'll see you at break." Hinata said then walked off with Naruto to science with Kurenai sensei.
"So who's in our class babe?" Heather said walking off with Nicole. "Sasuke is unfortunately" Nicole said while looking at her schedule. "hey! Heather! Wait up! Me and Ino are in your class!" Heather turned around to see Sakura and Ino running up behind them. "this is going to be an interesting day!" Hinata thought as she took her seat next to Naruto.
The bell rang out loud for everyone to hear meaning that classes were over and it was finally time to go home. Hinata, Heather and Nicole ran out to the car park looking around for any sign of their friends. "hey guys! Over here!" they turned to their left to see a bubbling blonde calling for them to join them.
Nicole started to make her way over to their friends with Sakura and Ino when Sasuke and Gaara crossed paths with Heather and Hinata. "What a bunch of losers. Wouldn't you agree Gaara?" Sasuke said smugly to the crimson headed male. "Sasuke just leave 'em alone man! Maybe she had no right to talk to you like that but she's a girl!" Gaara said slightly blocking Sasuke from the two girls. "Arigatou Gaara-kun." Hinata then bowed to Gaara who looked at her strangely then noticed her twiddling her index fingers.
Heather then walks up to Sasuke who was looking at her with disgust and hatred. "Sorry if I hurt you but someone needed to knock you off of your pedestal. Look here chicken butt me and Hina don't want nothing to do with you. You disgust us and to be honest you're not even that good looking!" she said without even flinching as he raised his hand as if to slap her. "Go on I dare you! I'm not scared of some little man like you!" he looked at her shocked no one had ever stood up to him like that before. She looked at Hinata who looked scared for her friend. "Hey Hina. Don't worry if he hits me then I can get him done for it so it's his choice."
"Come on man leave them alone! What do you think Neji will do to you?" Gaara said trying to get his friend away from the two girls. "I don't care anymore! I'm sick and tired of this chick thinking she can say what she wants to me! She needs to learn her place!" he said bringing his hand down to slap her before a strong hand grips him and throws him backwards to the ground.
"And what the hell do you think you are doing Uchiha?" said a tall male with a with dog on his head. "Kiba! When did you get back!" Gaara said looking at the muscular male. He examined Kiba who was wearing a open black and red shirt with a white vest top on underneath. He had a white non-sleeved hoody over his shirt that was also open to see his almost bare chest. Then on his legs were black skinny jeans that had a silver chain going from his left back pocket to his right front pocket. Gaara looked at his feet to see silver and black kickers. "About two days ago. I didn't come school today cause of my folks though. So anyway Uchiha what the hell are you doing going to slap a girl? I didn't think that you would stoop so low!" Kiba said kicking Sasuke in his stomach.
"Ummm sorry to ask but who are you?" Heather said blushing slightly. "I could ask you the same thing." Kiba asked her raising an eyebrow while checking her out. "I'm Heather just moved here from London like Hinata. Now it's your turn." She said flipping her hair behind her ear. Kiba smiled at her slightly "I'm Kiba and this is Akamaru my dog. I've been away for a while but anyway...when did your pretty little self get here?" he said pushing past Gaara and Sasuke slightly.
"HEY HEV ARE YOU COMING OR WHAT!" Nicole shouted from across the parking lot. "Umm...that's my friend I gotta get going...lets chat tomorrow ok?" Heather said to Kiba slightly walking past him slightly before he gently holds her back. "You going home to yours? I'm not doing anything can I come along?" Kiba said slightly smiling. "ummm...can I get to know you a bit better before we actually start hanging out? I don't want no one that acts like their all that-" she looks at Sasuke who was standing back with Gaara muttering something. "so ill see you tomorrow ok?" she grabs Hinata's hand then runs over to her friends and drove away.
"hey Uchiha. What did you do to piss her off?" kiba said looking at him. "oh shut up you fat fuck! Its her fault if she don't like what she sees!" with that Gaara and Sasuke went to their cars with kiba going to his then they all drove off to Neji's house.
"Mum! I'm home! And guess what! Heather has a friend who has come from London too! And I have some friends over, it's ok isn't it?" Nicole shouted to her mum who was in the kitchen smoking her fag while on the phone as usual. "sure thing sweetie! Just remember that you've got chores today!" Nicole's mum said back to her daughter. ""its ok Kerry I'll help her! I do live here now" Heather said laughing as all of their friends came in and took their shoes off and put them on the shoe rack. "so shall we go upstairs or into the back garden?" Nicole said turning to them all.
"I wanna see your room! Or rooms." Naruto said chuckling to himself. "we have separate rooms Naruto." Nicole replied poking his forehead. She then turned around and started to walk up the stairs to her room. The others followed while looking at the corridors and the living room. "wow! Your house is amazing! It seems bigger on the inside!" Hinata said smiling at her new friends.
"well it took us a while to get this place but at least we got it!" Nicole said looking back at Hinata. She opened the door to her room to show her friends her brown and beige painted walls. She had matching bed covers with a bedside table. She has quite a large room: chocolate brown carpet, double bed, her own bathroom, balcony, desk with her laptop on it, a wide screen television and even three bookshelves for all of her cd's, anime and manga. They all looked around her room absolutely amazed then found that there was more. A walk in wardrobe and a cupboard with all of her games and consoles even her radio! "Oh my god! You've got everything in here!" Naruto squealed looking at her games. "Not everything! I wish I could have more! I've got another room upstairs with the rest of my stuff." She said laughing. "Wow you are so lucky!" Hinata said looking at her wardrobe outstanded.
"Wait hold up for a second!" Nicole said slowly turning to Heather. "Who was that guy you were talking to?" she asked with her gossip face on. "No one that you need to know about!" Heather said laughing at her best friend. "Oh that guy that had his shirt open?" Naruto asked intrigued. Nicole nodded "that was Kiba...heather...don't get involved with a guy like that! He is bad news! Trust me he hurt someone close to me! I'm not letting it happen to anyone else!" Naruto said with an unusually serious tone. "oh...but I told him that I would hang out with him tomorrow." Heather said with a slightly disappointed look on her face. "trust me you don't want to! Sooner or later he'll invite you over to his and it won't be a very happy ending." Naruto said sitting down on Nicole's bed. "ok Naruto I'll listen to you." Heather said looking at Nicole. "ok so who's up for playing super Mario galaxy 2!" Nicole said while setting up her Nintendo Wii. "ill play as long as I am on your team!" Heather said grabbing her pink Wii controllers. The others all agreed and took controllers then sat down in their teams around the room.
"Heather...ummm...can I talk to you in private?" Hinata said shyly to Heather when they were downstairs in the living room to leave the others to their game. "sure thing but we should move from here if you want it to be private..." Heather said looking at the clock (it was 5:30pm). "ummm ok then. Shall we go to your bedroom?" Hinata said looking at her pleadingly. "sure lets get going." As they got up to go up the stairs the front door burst open and two blonde haired boys came running in with bags of shopping. "hiya jack. What's up Ryan?" Heather said as the boys ran past her. "Hi Heather! MUM WE'RE HOME!" Jack shouted as he ran into the back garden. "Heather Trevor!" Ryan yelled following his older brother. "I told you before stop calling me that!" Heather shouted back at Ryan. "who were they?" Hinata asked shocked at how fast it all just happened. "oh they're Nicole's younger brothers. The other one must be with Carl." Heather said leading Hinata up the two flight of stairs to her bedroom.
"wow. So she has three younger brothers?" Hinata said slightly shocked. Heather opened the door to her room. It was as big as Nicole's room but had the advantage of a skylight along with everything the same as Nicole's although her stuff was pink and red instead of brown and beige. "so what's up?" Heather said shutting the door as Hinata sat down on her bed. "its about tomorrow. When we go to school." Hinata said twiddling her fingers. "what about it?" Heather said slightly confused as to what Hinata was saying. "well shall we go together? Then maybe you could sleep over mine." Hinata said trying to sound confident. "wow. Hinata, you don't have to be scared around me ok? I'm a good person so come on be a little more confident with me ok? I'm not gonna hurt ya'!" Hinata smiled at Heather as she knew it was true, she just found it hard to sound confident. "I can't help it..." she then said looking at the floor.
"ok stand up! I'm gonna teach you to be confident in everything you do!" Heather said jumping up on her red and white heart designed carpet. Hinata then stood up and watched Heather with everything she did. "ok now lesson one. Its best to get feeling comfortable around your friends and around your family first ok? So who do you feel most comfortable around at the moment?" Heather said putting on some music on her loud speakers. "Umm...my family and you I suppose." Hinata said wondering what Heather was doing. "Right ok then thats a start and a very good start at that. Ok then you are ready for lesson 2! Do you like to sing?" Heather said raising an eyebrow. "Ummm...i suppose...it makes me feel happy when I'm feeling down." Hinata said smiling silently to herself. "Have you ever sung in front of anyone else?" Heather asked yet again. "I'm too afraid to" I don't want them to laugh at me!" Hinata said looking at Heather's CD player.
"What songs do you like to sing?" Heather said while taking out her best CDs. "I like Aly and Aj...i told you that at school silly." Hinata said trying to feel more comfortable around her best friend. "Oh goodie then we can sing together! Which one do you like to sing the most?" Heather asked searching through her Aly and Aj CDs. "ummm...the one I like to sing the most is chemicals react. It's such a powerful song." Hinata said jumping about trying to limber up and taking deep breaths. "Good that's a good one to start off with!" Heather said turning to Hinata. They stood side by side after Heather told Hinata to cover up her eyes so that it feels like she is the only one there. Heather pressed the play button.
He threw his bag down on the floor and let out a massive sigh. His crimson hair wet from his activities. "Stupid Sasuke! That's the last time I ever agree to follow him around! Goddamnit!" he took off his shirt ready to jump in the shower before someone knocked on the door. "Who is it!" he shouted putting a towel around his muscular neck. "Temari. Can I come in?" his older sister asked from the other side of the door. "Sure come on in I was getting ready to get in the shower but that can wait!" he said in an agitated tone.
Temari came into his room wearing her baggy jeans and her off the shoulder white "Ima bitch" top and her boot slippers. "Where were you this time?" she said slamming a rolled up newspaper on his desk. "I was out! With Sasuke again! God! It's not even 11 yet! It's still 6pm! How old do I have to be before I can get rid of your stupid fucking curfew! I'm not a fucking kid!" he said punching his wall. "Look I might not be mum but I can still be pissed at you for getting rude! You need to learn to be a proper man if you ever wanna see dad again! You remember what he said!" Temari said trying to be mature and grown up towards her younger brother.
"Look older sister of mine. I don't wanna know that backstabber anymore anyway! It's his fault mum ain't alive no more! She committed suicide cos he fucking cheated on her! It's his fault she ain't here no more! So ill act however the hell I want got it!" Gaara said opening his balcony doors and walking out to look down the footpath to see a group of teenagers from his school coming in his house's direction. When he looked closer he was Naruto, Hinata, Heather and Nicole all walking together laughing and joking around. He turned back to his sister who was still gabbing on.
"Gaara are you even listening to me!" she demanded. "Look I'm going out again I have my cell on me and yes it's charged!" Gaara said grabbing his favourite black shirt then running down the stairs. "What the! GAARA! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Temari shouted after her sister.
Gaara came out of his house and walked out to the pavement to see the group of teens coming down towards his house. He started to walk up to the group. "You alright Uzumaki?" Gaara said touching fists with his secret best friend. "Wassup Gaara? You pissing your sister off again?" Naruto asked still walking with the group. "ugh! More like she's pissing me off again!" Gaara said putting his shirt on and leaving it open. "GAARA! GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THE HOUSE NOW!" Temari shouted from Gaara's balcony.
"GO EAT SHIT YOU BITCH!" Gaara shouted back putting his middle finger up. "Won't she kick you out for that?" Hinata asked timidly. "Just wait for it." Gaara said winking at Hinata who then started blushing. "FINE THEN DONT BOTHER COMING BACK YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I WONT LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN FOR YOU AND I'll CHANGE THE FUCKING LOCKS!" his sister shouted down at him before turning to go into the house. "YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT! BUT YOU NEVER COME THROUGH WITH IT!" Gaara yelled back. "JUST WATCH ME!" his sister yelled back before slamming the balcony doors shut.
"So wanna stay up mine tonight Gaara?" Naruto asked his friend laughing from the theatrics that he is so used to. "Sure thing Uzumaki!" Gaara said looking at the group. "So where were you lot headed to anyways?" he asked intrigued. "We were just taking a look around you know. Getting to know the area. And learning where you live!" Heather and Nicole said laughing evilly. "You know you guys are really mad!" Gaara said looking at them weirdly. "You should really learn to grow up! And mature...a lot!" he said walking ahead to Hinata.
"Well that's the fun of it! We are just confident and having fun so shush!" the two girls said turning on some music and start dancing in the middle of the street. "Guys! Get out of the road! You're gonna get run over!" Hinata said worrying for her friends' lives. "Oh please! There isn't a single car in sight! Besides I love this song!" the two girls replied before continuing to dance. "Naruto come here I wanna dance with a boy for once!" Nicole said grabbing Naruto and starts dancing with him. Gaara just looked at them all before taking Hinata's hand and started to dance with her and Heather before they heard some footsteps from behind them. "What the hell are you doing? Get out of the road!" a panicking voice said. "Why should we!" Heather replied not knowing who it was that she was talking to. "Cos I don't want anything to happen to you." A husky male voice said in a worried tone. "Kiba leave Heather alone! I'm not letting you destroy her life too!" Naruto said grabbing Heather and Nicole's hands and put them on the sidewalk while he walked towards Kiba with Gaara while Hinata joined the other girls.
"She said that she wants to hang out with me! You can't start making her decisions too! Besides you were the one that ruined her life! Not me! I was just a shoulder to cry on!" Kiba said with hatred in his voice. "And what the hell are you doing with Uzumaki anyway Gaara! I thought he was a total loser!" Kiba said clutching a fist. "I never said that! That was all you and Sasuke! Well you know what! Both me and Neji are friends with Naruto and his friends! If you don't like it then fuck you!" Gaara said kicking Kiba in the stomach. "You leave Heather and Naruto alone you got me? And that goes for Nicole and Hinata too!" Gaara said getting the group to keep on walking. Heather tried to go over to Kiba but was stopped by Hinata. "Just leave him. You should trust what these guys are saying." Hinata said with a sympathetic voice. "You're talking as if my dog just died." Heather said laughing off her guilt.
"Come on girls lets go to Neji's its better than being out here." Gaara said trying to hurry them along cos he knew Kiba would be up and after them again in any second. "Well me and Heather were only dropping Hinata back home cos her dad wasn't too happy with her. We need to get back home but she should be ok with you two right?" Nicole said with a cheerful voice. "No. One of us will go back with you to make sure that you guys are ok getting back." Gaara said with a serious tone. "I can handle myself Gaara now just go and look after Hinata ok? I'll pick you up at 7:30 ok Hinata?" Heather said turning towards the way home while winking and doing a peace sign at Hinata with her tongue sticking out. "Sure thing you've got my number so ill just meet you here ok?" Hinata said hugging her best friend. "See ya tomorrow guys!" Nicole said as she started to chase Heather who had run off.
"Stupid asshole! Who does he think he is! If it weren't for me he wouldn't even have any friends!" Kiba grunted to himself while standing up. He looked ahead of him to see Heather and Nicole running in the opposite direction to where the group had originally gone. "Hey! Heather! Wait up!" he yelled before running after them. "Leave me alone Kiba! I'm gonna trust Gaara and Naruto! I won't let you fuck up my life like you did the other girl!" Heather yelled back at Kiba. "I'll prove to you that you can trust me one of these days!" Kiba yelled up at her. He stood there in one place watching the two girls run away from him before seeing Heather stop and collapse to a sitting position on the floor. He ran up to them concerned about Heather. "Heather are you ok? Did you bring your pump?" Nicole said to Heather in a concerned tone. "I'm fine I don't need that stupid thing!" she said trying to stand up before coughing into her hands. "What's wrong with her?" Kiba asked finally catching up to them. "She has asthma...she can't run for long cos of it..." Nicole said not looking at him. "I'm fine! I don't need a stupid pump! I can handle myself!" Heather said standing up and breathing heavily. "you don't seem fine...im calling mum to pick us up!" Nicole said taking out her cell. "no please don't nic! I'm fine!" Heather said walking towards their house. "Fine but you stop again and ill call her!" Nicole said in a jokey tone.
"oh shush you! Can we just get going and Kiba thanks for caring but I dont want to know ok? I trust what my friends say and I'm not going with you got it?" Heather said in a somewhat angry tone. Kiba looked at the two girls as they turned away from him and walked home he decided not to follow considering the coldness in Heather's voice.
"mum we're home!" Nicole shouted as she shut the door after Heather went up the stairs. "oh girls thank god! I thought you got into trouble!" Kerry said running out to them both and hugged them both. "So did you get Hinata home ok?" she asked them both expecting that something had happened. "Yeah but one of Naruto's friends met us on the way and walked her home with him so they are safe." Nicole said to her mum. "So Heather how do you like it here so far?" a male voice shouted from the back room. "Apart from being with my best friend again? It's awesome! Thanks Carl!" Heather shouted back as a slightly bald male with a 1 year old came out to Heather and Nicole. "Liam! Oh there is my handsome little boy!" Nicole said hugging her little brother in her arms. "Girls I think you should get upstairs and keep playing your games ok? Me and Carl need to discuss some things." Kerry said walking back to the kitchen. The girls nodded in agreement then headed upstairs to their bedrooms and started to chat on msn and play their games at the same time while talking to each other on Skype along with Hinata, Gaara and Naruto.
Back at Hinata's before everyone started chatting
"So guys what time do you have to be home? I don't want you to get into trouble just for coming home with me...wait...that didn't sound to right did it?" Hinata said slightly blushing. "I don't know. I'm staying at Uzumaki's tonight so it's his call you know." Gaara said lying back on Hinata's bed. "Well it doesn't matter when we go back. I like with Shikamaru and Shino so we can leave whenever. Why do you want us to go or something?" Naruto said in a slightly hurt tone.
"No it's not that! It's just that I haven't had a boy in my room that isn't a family member before...i don't want my father to get the wrong idea...i couldn't stand it if my friends got hurt by Neji...or my father..." Hinata said looking at the floor. "Ok then so we'll leave by the balcony. Trust me we've done it more than enough times. Also didn't Heather and Nicole say that they wanna chat on Skype when we got in?" Naruto said looking at Hinata's laptop.
"Oh yeah! Ill log in now, I added them when we were at their house so I think it should be ok now." Hinata said getting up quickly then sitting in her lilac office chair turning on her laptop. "So what shall we sit on Hinata?" Gaara said wondering where the other chairs are. "Oh I could go get a couple of chairs from downstairs...but I don't know...umm...wait here for a sec ok?" she said standing up and walking towards the door before hearing her father's voice from downstairs. "Oh crap! Ummm...go into the bathroom for a little while please my father is coming in to check on me...he didn't see you guys come in..." Hinata said quickly.
The two boys then scrambled into the bathroom and Hinata opened her door to see her father looking straight at her door. "Hi dad! What's up?" Hinata said with a bright toothy smile. "Hinata what's going on?" her father said to her knowing she was hiding something. "Nothing! I'm just about to get on Skype to start chatting to my new friends! I've made about four today so they are all waiting for me." Hinata said hurrying to get back into her room.
"Alright then. Well I was just coming up to let you know I'm going to be working all night tonight so you are going to be home alone." Her father sounded as if he trusted her for the first time in...ever! "wait! Home alone? What do you mean? What about Neji and Hanabi? Where are they?" Hinata said worrying slightly. "Hanabi and Neji are staying over friends houses. Why not invite some of you friends over? I assume you have made some good ones this time." With that her father grabbed his coat from his room then left the house to go to his job.
Hinata locked all the windows and the doors before taking Hanabi and Neji's office chairs from their rooms for Gaara and Naruto. She then came back into her room and saw the two boys sat back on her bed after they heard the front door shut. "ummm...I've got a chair for each of you. You ready to chat to the girls?" Hinata said smiling awkwardly at her two male friends. "sure thing go ahead Hinata!" Naruto said grabbing the chairs indicating that Gaara should join them. "thanks for this Hinata. It's nice to have a female friend who doesn't think she is all that." Gaara then sat down and waited for Hinata to sign in to Skype.
The next morning Hinata woke up to see her bedroom completely empty and without a trace of her two friends being over. She looked at the clock...6:30am! She couldn't believe how early she had gotten up this morning. She decided to go downstairs to have breakfast. She went to the platinum fridge and grabbed a block of cheese, mushrooms and the tomato sauce. She put these ingredients on the counter then turned on the CD played to find he said, she said by Ashley Tisdale start to play. She liked this song, she felt so comfortable being home alone to even start dancing. She shut the fridge and opened the cupboards to look for the pasta then grabbed the pot from the draws under the cutlery draws. She got really comfortable with the music at this point and started to turn it up forgetting the time, she heated the full kettle and then started to prepare all of her ingredients for her famous tangy cheesy mushroom pasta. While the pasta was cooking she put the song on repeat and started to dance around the living room without realising that there were two pairs of eyes watching her from the stairs.
"so what's cooking?" a husky male voice said as she came back to the kitchen to check on the pasta. "OH MY GOD!" Hinata yelled surprised and shocked by someone else actually being in her home. She slipped over her long jogging bottoms that she had worn to bed that night. But luckily the crimson headed male saved her before she hit the ground. "sorry if we scared you but you looked like you was having fun dancing around the house." Naruto said apologising for Gaara talking at a bad moment. She turned down the CD then looked at Gaara who was still holding her close to his chest. "Gaara you can put me down now...and sorry you did surprise me I thought you both left last night." She said as Gaara let her down and she started to dish up the pasta.
"it's ok and we did leave last night but then we remembered that you were home alone and we didn't feel comfortable so Uzumaki went to his and grabbed some clothes for me and him for today and I waited here but when I came back into your room you were already asleep and I didn't want to wake you up." Gaara said eating the crazy pasta. "hold on a second! I locked the door to my room and the balcony door! How did you get in!" Hinata said wondering how they got in. "you didn't actually lock it. You must of tried but you were to tired and didn't realise that it was still slightly open." Gaara said slightly amused by the turn of events. "so anyways ummm...Hinata I wanna talk to you later ok? It's about some stuff that I have kinda figured out about you and Neji." Naruto said with a bit of a sympathetic tone of voice. "oh...ummm...ok then Naruto." Hinata said looking at Gaara and Naruto wondering what was actually going on. "anyway make yourselves at home. You can watch television in the living room if you want. I'll be in shortly." She said smiling at them both.
Naruto then went into the living room and put the television on to kiss fm. Gaara stopped as he was passing Hinata to go into the living room. "by the way you look really cute when you are asleep Hina-chan." He whispered before continuing and leaving Hinata blushing a deep deep red in the kitchen. She then took a deep breath and turned off the CD player and got a can of coke from the side counter before joining her two new friends beginning another wonderful day that she wanted to be full of fun again.
