Yey, second chapter up! And this time, we see more Sasuke, and it is a little bit longer. Though still not so long. As usual, please exuse my english, it isn't very good.
"…And write a 3000 word essay on Native Americans." The silver-haired teacher said lazily. Almost every single student groaned at the task. "And no exceptions!" he said with a firm voice, making every one shut up. I rolled my eyes and focused on my drawing again. Just get his hair right…
"Hey, midnight!" the teacher yelled. I looked up, into his one visible eye. I knew he was referring to me, because of my hair. It was mostly described as midnight-blue. I raised an eyebrow at the visible part of his face. He had a mask covering most of his face, and a blue bandage over his left eye. An old injury, I assumed.
"Yes?" I asked him politely.
"This isn't art class, and even though you make me look great, do you mind putting that drawing away?" I sighed, but put my drawing back in my bag. "Good. You're new here, right?" Yes, smartass.
"Yes, Sir." I said, flashing him a smile. His eyes formed into rainbow-shape, something that made me absolutely sure that he was smiling underneath the mask.
"Well, welcome to Konoha High." he said, still smiling. Every one was watching us, so I decided to take the chance to be acknowledged as a nice person.
"Thank you, Sir." I said, still smiling. He chuckled at me.
"Sir? Like the way you're thinking, kid." he said and winked at me before turning around. I grimaced at his back as he walked to the blackboard.
To the world: Kakashi Hatake. To me: Mysterious mask person. And pervert. Oh, I was very surprised that I seemed to be the only one understanding what was the contents of his book. I shrugged and looked around the class. A few guys were looking at me, grinning. I shot them dead glares. They turned around, but still grinning, and I could hear one of them whisper "Sassy." I rolled my eyes and looked over at a few girls instead. A girl with blonde, long hair and blue eyes, a brown-haired girl in a white sweatshirt, a green-eyed girl with pink hair. Wait, pink? Gross, I hated pink. She smiled at me though, and she seemed nice.
"Well, get your asses over to the gym, and don't let the sensei down!" Kakashi said to his students. Everyone except me sighed or groaned. I raised an eyebrow to the strange behaviour of the students. Training couldn't be that bad? I grabbed my bag and walked over to the door, but was stopped by the group of girls I saw earlier.
"Hi, you're the new girl, right?" the green-eyes asked, smiling at me. I smiled back, still commenting her bizarre hair colour inside my head. "Sakura Haruno." She added, holding out her hand.
"Yeah, Hinata Hyuuga, nice to meet you." I answered and shook her hand. Boy, she's got a firm grip! She must be really strong!
"Hi!" The blonde popped up in front of Sakura, making me back away. She laughed at my expression. Though Sakura seemed quite annoyed.
"Ino-pig…"
"Shut up, Billboard-brow." The blonde waved her hand in front of Sakura's mouth, causing a vein in Sakura's forehead, which I had to admit was huge, to become more and more visible. I immediately got the feeling that they used to argue like this a lot. The blonde obviously didn't care what Sakura had to say, because after a few words, she turned to me again. "Hi, I'm Ino." She said, smiling just like Sakura. I tried my best to smile back, though it was completely superficial. Luckily for me, neither noticed. They started fighting again, but now they were moving out of the classroom and over to the gym.
"Don't mind them, they're always like this." I turned to see that is was the brown-haired girl talking to me.
"Yeah, I kind of noticed." I said. She laughed at what I'd said, making me smile as well.
"I'm Tenten." She said, still smiling, and reached out her hand.
"Well, you already know my name." I said, grinning as I shook her hand.
"Well, come on, let's hurry, we're the only ones left!" she said, looking around. I did so as well and noticed she had right. Before I had time to react further, she grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the door. I laughed, making her laugh as well. The people that was still at their lockers stared at us, but we didn't really care. Tenten. I felt a new, happy feeling bubble up in my chest. She seems nice.
I really liked Tenten. She was funny, serious and nice at the same time. We talked a lot on our way to training, and she told me about the school and a few students, and I told her about my old life. When we got changed, though, she noticed the scar running from my left shoulder down on to the middle of my back.
"What happened?" she asked, trailing the scar with her fingers. I shrugged.
"Don't like to talk about it." I said quietly. She looked at me as I stood completely still, my eyes closed. I breathed heavily, and my hands were shaking. Of course I was completely oblivious to my strange behaviour. I was just remembering. As soon as I regained control of myself, I slammed the door to my gym locker shut, making Tenten wince.
"Ehm… Sorry." I said, trying to smile at her. She obviously understood, though, and smiled back.
"No problem. But come on, we've got to go!" She slammed her locker shut and we ran over to the door leading to the gym. As soon as we entered the huge room, I heard a loud voice.
"LOOK ALIVE, STUDENTS!" A man's voice called. Then my vision was all green. I saw and heard a fist come out of nowhere, and I quickly and swiftly ducked under it, blocked the foot coming from underneath my head and slammed my palm into the green "thing", most likely a person. I saw "it" block my attack, but the force from my hand pushed "it" about two meters away from me. Without noticing, I stood in a fighting position, the one Neji and I used. Palm up, ready to fight.
"EXCELLENT!" The voice called again. I now noticed that it belonged to the green man. For the love of all that's holy…In front of me stood what seemed like a taller Rock Lee. No, wait, Lee was…Younger. But the man had the exact same haircut, the exact same abnormally thick eyebrows and the exact same look in his eyes as the black-haired boy.
"THIS GIRL IS OUR NEXT FIGHTER, THE USUAL WINNER PLEASE STAND UP! WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHO IS THE BEST THIS TIME!" The man yelled. I raised an eyebrow at Tenten, and she sighed. She leaned over to my ear.
"That's Guy-sensei, he yells a lot." She whispered. I sighed and turned my head to see who the champion of this class was. Raven hair, spiky in the back, pale skin and onyx eyes. Sasuke Uchiha was walking up from his emo corner. A few girls, including Ino and Sakura, looked at him in awe and some squealed as he rolled his eyes. I didn't understand them. What's so great about Mr. Arrogant? He looked just like what I was trying to pull off. Completely uninterested in anything and everything, annoyed of everything. He stopped in the middle of the room. Guy dramatically turned around, his fist on his hip and pointed at me with a flashy smile. I sighed and walked up to the emo and stopped about a half meter away from him.
"LET THE BEST FIGHTER WIN!" Guy yelled, though he was standing next to me. He held his hand over our heads. Before he lowered it, I took my position and whispered "Byakugan". I didn't need to say it out loud, but it helped me activate it. I felt the veins around my eyes grow slightly, making my vision better. I saw every single detail around me. Nothing slipped my vision. Neji was in this class too, and I saw his smile, knowing what I was doing. I grinned back, before turning to face Sasuke again. As I noticed his eyes, I felt a stab of shock in my chest as I saw the new colour, blood red. A flashback of a blood pool ran through my head for a second, before Guy-sensei brought his hand down, starting the fight.
In no time, Sasuke was behind me. I was surprised, even though I had seen him all the time. Amazing! But just before he was going to knock me down, I quickly span around to face him, bringing my palm up to his chest.
Before I could slam it into one of his pressure points, he was gone, and so I backed away in case he was going to hit me with a surprise attack. I smiled as I saw his reappear where I stood a few seconds ago. He was fast and flexible. Too bad I was even faster and even more flexible. Before he could turn around, I jumped up into the air and brought myself down to where he stood, head first. I got a hold of him shoulder and pressed my fingers into his nerves, causing his other nerves to shut off, making him fall to ground, unconscious.
I landed on the ground three feet away from him, my left knee in the ground and my right foot next to it. I used my hand to support me on way up into a standing position. I looked around; all the students were staring at me. Did I go a little overboard? I bit my lip and walked over to Sasuke, helping him into a sitting position as he regained his consciousness.
"I don't need help." He said and rose from the floor, brushed some dirt of his clothes and walked over to a door with a sign that said 'BOYS'.
"I'm done with training today." He said coldly and walked out the door. I stared after him until I felt a rough hand grabbing my wrist. Guy-sensei dragged me into to air; my feet didn't even reach the ground.
"WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!" He yelled to the entire class. When he dropped me down, I rubbed my ear, concerned about my hearing.
"NOW, GET TOGETHER IN PAIRS AS SOON AS I GET BACK! WE'RE TAKING A SMALL BREAK WHILE I'M AWAY!" This time I simply covered my ears until he was done yelling at us. He smiled me a flashy smile and patted my head. I raised an eyebrow at him when he walked away.
I walked over to Tenten, feeling the stares on my back.
"Hi." I said and smiled at her. She simply stared at me. "What?"
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" She screamed at me, causing me to wince slightly.
"Please don't shout or scream, my ears are kind of sensitive after Guy-sensei's talking." I begged her.
"Oh, right." She smiled sheepishly. I laughed at her expression.
"By the way, did you notice?" she asked me, I raised an eyebrow, and she pointed at Neji. "He is hot!" she said, grinning at me. I looked from Neji to Tenten, back and forth a few times. Then I started grinning, seeing a brilliant chance to play matchmaker.
"Oy, Neji!" I called out to him. He turned around and smiled at me. Tenten's chin dropped down to the floor as he started walking over to us and stood in front of us. I bumped my elbow in Tenten's ribs and she closed her mouth and smiled at Neji.
"Hey, Hinata, what's up?" he said, looking at Tenten curiously.
"Oh nothing much, just drawing attention to myself again by being the new champion of the class. But meet my new friend, Tenten!" I said, pushing Tenten in front of me, and I noticed that she had now started blushing.
"Hi, I-I-I-I'm T-tenten." She stuttered. Neji smiled at her, and her blush reached a crimson color.
"I'm Neji Hyuuga, Hinata's cousin." He smiled at her. I looked at Tenten, she looked absolutely shocked. Guy-sensei interrupted us by coming in the doors and smile brightly at everyone.
"HAVE YOU PICKED YOUR PARTNER?!" He yelled at us enthusiastically. I quickly grabbed Neji's shoulder, and he nodded at me. Tenten looked sort of disappointed. I gave her an apologetic look as I and Neji went into position. As we activated our Byakugans, I noticed a pair of onyx eyes looking at me. I smiled as they slowly went red. So he wants every single movement registered, huh? Neji made the first move, bringing his palm up to my neck, where I blocked it and aimed for his arm. As we fought back and forward, the other students stopped fighting each other and watched us instead. We must beinteresting. I smiled as Neji ran behind me and I leaped into the air. Interesting, hah.
We were walking down the hallway, and it seemed I had earned a bit of respect from everyone. Tenten said that it was because I had defeated Sasuke Uchiha, the champion of the school. Speaking of the devil… I thought as he walked past us, followed by a group of girls.
"Who's the group of misfits?" I asked as I noticed Sakura and Ino in the group. Sasuke seemed very annoyed. Tenten laughed.
"They're Sasuke's fan girls." She said, still smiling and wiping away a tear. "And I guess you could call them misfits, but if they ever know, you're in for it."
"I can handle a bunch of girls." I said. As soon as we started to get close to the group following Sasuke, they all noticed me. It took me two seconds to understand that now was the time to start running. I left Tenten and races past Sasuke. I saw him turn and then he started running away just as me.
"Hinata, how do you fight like that?!"
"I want to color my hair in your hair color, Sasuke!"
"Can't you at least talk to us?!" I heard all the girls shout at us, different questions all at the same time. Now, we ran side by side. I felt something shoot through my stomach as Sasuke grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the right. He let go of my hand and we ran outside the school and over to a bunch of trees. He jumped onto a huge branch on the third tree. Without a sound, he held his hand down to me. I grabbed it and he swung me up onto the tree. We watched as all the girls ran under us and over the schoolyard, to the back of the school.
"It seems like they are kind of… Obsessed." I said, looking after them. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at me.
"You think?" He said, looking at me. I laughed at that, but he seemed dead serious, so I stopped laughing.
"Oh shit, we have class." I groaned. I really didn't want to have art with this 'Deidara'-person. Somehow, he seemed…Weird.
"Let's pass." I blinked at him. Then, I started smiling.
"Sure." I grinned. He jumped down from the tree. I jumped after him, and we started walking towards the gates of the school. This is going to be interesting…Maybe I could understand what was so great about Mr. Arrogant.
Ok, guys, that's second chapter.
PS: Again, sorry about the length. VERY SHORT. Care. Hope you like it anyway, please review.
