Chapter 2: Commands
Disclaimer: Own Naruto? Don't even ask, no I do not own Naruto beyond all reasons... Keep reading, yup, what can I say? Chapter 2 coming right up.
Sasuke stumbled out of the door, feeling rather perplexed as if Hokage sama had just stuffed a jumble of five pound paper into his brain.
He was exhausted having to wake up this early in the morning, especially having those dreams which he had despised.
Training was over now and there wasn't much left to do around the village.
Everything was preceding so fast that made it hard for him to concentrate on one; there were many questions and so little answers.
Itachi was no ordinary ninja, he was dangerous, but that didn't stop Sasuke from hating him.
Then another thing came to him, if Tsunade already knew, then why was she sending inexperienced ginins in search of an Uchiha genius?
Everyone had thought he was strong, because he was from the Uchiha clan, but that was only part of the truth.
He wasn't strong…because now, there were people far stronger than him.
He wasn't too sure where he was heading; now walking as slow as possible towards the Hyuuga mansion, still half dazed in thoughts.
Everything was going badly (as planned); he couldn't believe his ears living at the Hyuuga mansion.
He hated the Hyuuga clan, from their pale white, expressionless eyes that seemed to know everything, they were arrogant yet mysterious.
Before long he had already approached at the Hyuuga mansion, panting as he reached silently for the door handle…
At the Hyuuga mansion
Hinata was watching sorrowfully as her father trained with Neji a little far off.
She bit her lip hard, trying to avoid the nagging attempt to cry, however there wasn't any use in doing so, there was no one there to comfort her.
For a long time she had felt alone, her father despised her because she was weak.
Naruto didn't really care much other than Sakura…
cling, clang! Hiashi Sama had thrown a handful of weapons at Neji, now flying directly at his heart.
Hinata shuddered.
But Neji had easily dodged it, returning it with a juuken as Hiashi Sama quickly jumped reaching for his kunai.
"Byakugan." She heard Neji say, while her father looked away at the main door. His gaze swept across to her cousin who clearly seemed confused.
"Let's take a break Neji, Sasuke should be arriving soon,"
He responded solemnly, panting as he nodded at the Hyuuga prodigy.
Neji didn't look too surprised, but stopped to take a seat beside his uncle deactivating his Byakugan at once.
Hinata however looked timidly at her father, and then asked in a whisper, "S-Sasuke Kun," she began in a surprised tone.
"W-Why is he here?"
Hiashi Sama looked away, trying not to look at his daughter, but replied firmly, "It's an order from Hokage; he will be living here for the night, Hinata."
Neji stood up ready to leave them to their conversation when the door creaked open, and the weary Sasuke appeared staring at the three.
Hiashi barely nodded, but beckoned for Sasuke to come forward.
Neji stood nailed in his spot, gaping at him in his usual expression as he sat down soundlessly beside Hiashi Sama.
Why is Sasuke here to stay at the mansion? Hiashi Sama won't like this very much.
Neji thought as he looked intensely at the Uchiha boy.
Sasuke's eyes were focused on Hiashi, ignoring the other two pairs of blank, white eyes as if they weren't there. Neji is going to hate me living here!
He thought bitterly as Hiashi began in a deep, formal tone (so different from before), "Tsunade has informed me about your mission,"
he said looking briefly at both Hinata and Neji.
"Tomorrow morning you are to be training with Hinata, Neji as being the leader of this team is to visit Tsunade. Then at noon, all three of you will leave immediately."
He finished. Sasuke said nothing once again (as usual) while Hinata looked closely at her older cousin for an answer.
Pathetic, he thought, staring harshly at Hiashi Sama with the greatest loathing he could give.
It's me training Hinata.
Hinata stood up, quickly glancing over her shoulder at her father asking in a timid voice that was hard to make out, "F-Father is Sasuke Kun s-staying over for the n-night?"
Hiashi barely nodded, now gesturing for the young Hyuuga girl to follow.
"He is staying for tonight," he alleged grimly, then added.
"And while he is here, be sure not to get in anyone's way, it would bring great dishonour to the clan."
Hinata looked back at her own legs, looking tearful as she avoided Sasuke's looks.
Her short blue hair had covered her eyes as she looked down making her look cute in a way.
"H-Hai," she said a moment later then left.
Hiashi Sama looked away at Neji instead, ignoring his daughter's parting and replied, "By the way Neji, show Sasuke to the room he will be sleeping in for the night."
Neji bowed politely in front of Hiashi then gestured for Sasuke to follow him upstairs.
Sasuke (although tired) got up from his seat to follow Neji out of the garden.
The Hyuuga mansion was very large with a variety of pictures hung on the walls of the hallway.
Once they were out of earshot, Neji stopped, giving Sasuke a resentful glance and began, "You must be enjoying this, Sasuke," he continued.
"Being a bodyguard of Hinata will help you to gain more experience."
The thirteen year old Hyuuga mocked with interest.
"Shut it." Sasuke murmured giving him a fierce gaze.
Neji stopped smirking now beginning to climb the stairs.
"We should get going; I'll show you to Hinata's room."
Sasuke stopped now looking in a confused way at the Hyuuga genius, Neji on the other hand seeing him slow down, paused to look at the boy. The he knew. He squirmed, "We are going to her room-why?"
Neji was looking even more sarcastic now, his pale eyes focused on Sasuke.
"Of course, you should have known. Hyuuga Sama has ordered you to sleep in that room." He finished adding.
"What's to be so surprised of, Sasuke?"
However he didn't look at him now, staring blankly at the picture on the wall as if it was a treasure. He didn't get it at all, to sleep in Hinata's room.
There were a few reasons why he wanted to refuse.
First he didn't know her that well, other than that she was very quiet unlike the other konoichis.
But that wasn't the main reason; there were many he could not count.
"You're kidding." He inquired rolling his eyes. Neji however only smirked, "There isn't much of a choice, you either sleep in her room or you sleep out side."
"As a bodyguard, Hiashi-sama expects you to serve tea for Hinata, " Neji said coldly, ignoring Sasuke's silent compains under his breath.
Sasuke glared not taking the moment to ask why, but listened intensly as Neji spoke.
By the time Sasuke had reached the last step, his feet had felt like mush-no more like jello making almost no attempt to carry him any farther. Maybe he was going to talk him to death? The Uchiha boy gave a slight laugh at the thought.
Neji seeing him at the moment gave a deep sigh looking rather calm as usual, "After supper you'll be accompanying Hinata for a trip around Konoha." He responded not paying much attention to Sasuke's point of view.
This is going to be so much pain.
It felt like hours just standing there, imagining him out in front of the mansion, being soaked to death under the pouring rain. And going out with Hinata? No, maybe there's away to get out of this mess.
Neji unlike him seemed to be enjoying this time troubling Sasuke, besides they had being rivals for a while.
It was surprising for a while, the mansion was so huge, and surely they had room for a ginin. But that however wasn't worth asking, he was used to doing things he didn't intent to, and Tsunade wouldn't be pleased.
Taking as much time as possible he traipsed across the hallway heading into an unknown room, Neji was leading him to.
Sasuke sighed deeply, taking the moment to make his decision; it was like… hell, but worse.
