Ok so I'm not dead. But I'm not restarting my other stories either. Sorry! I just kinda, grew uninterested in them. I'll try harder on this one though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hinata Hyuuga sighed as Iruka-sensei's voice droned on. He was teaching her favorite subject, English, but try as she might, Hinata wasn't happy today. Even if it was her sweet sixteen.
Every day was the same to her. She had a schedule going, and she never broke it. On weekdays it was pretty much the same: wake up, shower, eat, school, homework, eat, and then sleep. The only relief she got from this was Saturdays.
Saturdays for Hinata were for fun time. She spent almost a whole day on the computer, admiring pictures and music videos of her favorite band: "The Ninjas" or sometimes even, sneaking out to their concerts, making up an excuse that she was at a friend's house.
Hinata especially liked their feisty drummer, The Fox. He had a constant bubble of charisma and confidence surrounding him. It didn't hurt that he was a total hottie, with golden hair and azure eyes. From reading on his fansites, Hinata knew that the whiskers plastered across his cheeks were scars from some kind of fight.
Out of obligation, Hinata visited the rest of the bands' sites and blogs. There was The Unloved, who did bass guitar. His blood red hair and outlined-in-black cerulean eyes made him a big hit with some of the hardcore rockers. Last year there was a rumor that he overdosed on sleeping pills and had to go to the hospital, but no one knew if it was true.
Then there was The Avenger, their fearless leader. He did lead guitar and he was the vocalist. He seemed to be the most popular among girls, but Hinata couldn't comprehend why. He had black hair that glinted blue in the sunlight, and black, pupil less eyes. Maybe girls liked him because of the money? Hinata thought. It was said that The Avenger was loaded.
Last but not least was the band's song writer. He was the mastermind behind it all. The public has never seen his face, and only know him by his codename: The Genius. He had quite a few cults…… I mean groups of people who worshipped… I mean admired his genius lyrics.
"Hinata, could you please answer number 3 for me please?" Hinata blushed as she looked down at her paper. She hadn't been paying attention again. Blushing, she mumbled an "I didn't understand it.", and flinched as she heard the snickers from her classmates. She sat back down and silently prayed for 3:00 to come sooner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Hinata opened the door to the house, she felt a little bit suspicious. She didn't see any gardeners working outside, and none of the maids were scurrying around the house like they usually do. Why was it so quite?
"Surprise!" Ten Ten and Hanabi yelled from behind a table. Hinata's father and Neji didn't bother with the yelling, but just strode into the room.
Ten Ten was Neji's long term girlfriend. She had been around as a sort of mother-figure for Hinata and Hanabi.
"Happy Birthday!" Ten Ten squealed, and gave Hinata a hug. Hinata smiled and returned it.
"W-What's all this?" Hinata asked, as she stepped back to admire the kitchen. They has really gone all out this year. There were streamers and balloons lining the ceiling. A triple layered cake sat magnificently on the table, a Congratulations written on the top with pink frosting. But wait. Was turning 16 really such a big deal? Her other birthdays never got any special attention. So why now?
Hinata turned her attentions to her sister, and was startled to see tears in her eyes that were threatening to spill over. With a start, Hinata realized that Ten Ten's smile seemed somehow forced. "W-what happened?"
"Hinata, I think it would be best if we would talk in the other room." Hiashi spoke for the first time since Hinata entered the room. Gingerly, she followed behind him.
He led them into his private office. Sitting behind his desk, Hiashi gestured Hinata to take the client's chair in front of him.
"As you might know, Hyuuga Corp. has not been doing too well."
It was true, her father's company dealt a lot within the stock market, and recently had invested in a bad sale. Hinata couldn't figure out what this had to do with her.
"Yes, well, I got involved with some bad people, and well… you see…" For the first time in all of Hinata's 16 years, her father looked at a loss for words. She had to fight the urge to get a camcorder ready.
"To save my company, I made a foolish gamble with an old colleague of mine. And I lost." The way he called himself foolish made Hinata's skin feel prickly. Mustering up her courage, she asked the question that had been nagging at the back of her mind, but instantly regretted it.
"What did you gamble away then?"
"You."
