Hinata puffed heavily as she ran towards the school gate trying to keep her swaying breakfast in her stomach. Holding onto her grey shoulder bag tightly Hinata looked around nervously trying catching her breath. Suddenly, Hinata caught the sight of a tall girl wearing ultra large sunglasses leaning on the school gate.
"Yukiko-san," Smiled Hinata relieved to have finally caught sight of her friend.
"Hey, Hinata." Yukiko walked towards Hinata casually. "Slept in again?" She asked patting Hinata's messy bun.
"Yeah," Sighed Hinata tiredly. "I am exhausted but I still haven't…"
"Finished your English assignment yet, right?" Asked Yukiko looking sympathetically at Hinata.
"Yep," Agreed Hinata dejectedly looking sad and miserable.
"Hey, don't stress Hinata." Yukiko said patting Hinata gently on the back. "I'll finish it for you."
"Really?" Hinata asked hopefully unknowingly giving Yukiko puppy eyes.
"You know I can't desert you to the fury of Tsunade sensei when you give me those puppy eyes." Sighed Yukiko half jokingly.
"Thanks Yukiko, you rock!" Cheered Hinata as Yukiko and her began walking into the school building.
Inside, it was crowded and noisy. Tsunade the principle and Anko-sensei were trying to stop the skater kids using their skateboards inside while trying to shout at the emos to stop cutting themselves at the same time. Needlessly to say, they stopped neither and all they got was bruises from being knocked by skateboards and blood all over their clothes from the emos. Hinata and Yukiko headed towards their lockers skillfully ducking and weaving through the crowd of kids. Arriving at her locker Yukiko immediately grabbed a pen and her assignment waiting for Hinata to open her locker and stash her bag. Suddenly Hinata groaned loudly.
"My locker door is stuck again." Groaned Hinata giving the locker a good kick.
"Don't worry." Said Yukiko walking towards Hinata's locker.
"Um, you better move back for this." Warned Yukiko as she approached the locker. Hinata obediently moved back warning a couple of Goths to stay out of the way too. Yukiko stood back and gave the locker a flying kick with her sneakers making the whole row of lockers shake. Leaning forward, she gave the door a good tug and Hinata's locker opened with out any problems.
"Thanks Yukiko." Said Hinata gratefully. "You are a lifesaver."
"It's OK." Replied Yukiko cheerfully. "That kick was a good warm up to a day of bashing unwanted people out of the way. Anyways you better pass me your homework." Warned Yukiko.
With a smile Hinata passed her half finished assignment to Yukiko who began to scribble on it almost immediately.
"Oh yeah," Yukiko stopped writing and reached into her school bag. "You better fix up your hair or Kurenai sensei will freak." Said Yukiko tossing Hinata a comb.
"Thanks again." Said Hinata and began tugging at her knotted hair. After a few minutes of wrestling with the knots, Hinata passed back Yukiko's comb and began grabbing her books for the first lesson. Suddenly, she felt a tap at her back. Turning around she stared right into a pair of white eyes just as pale as hers.
"Neji-kun." Hinata stared in surprise at her tall cousin standing before her. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, my own little cousin doesn't want me here." Joked Neji. "That's painful." Hinata blushed embarrassedly at her own slip.
"What I meant to say was that why are you in my school? Aren't you suppose to be in your private boy school?" Corrected Hinata still blushing.
"Well, after our principal Kakashi was arrested for possessing porn books our school closed down so me and my friends are going to your school now." Explained Neji patiently.
"Oh." Nodded Hinata. "Always knew Kakashi was a pervert."
Hinata looked behind Neji's back at all his friends. Her eyes fell immediately onto a blonde boy with dark blue eyes who was looking around excitedly and bouncing up and down. Hinata could feel herself blushing as she stared at his adorable face with his cute spiky hair-do. Neji followed Hinata's eyes towards Naruto and grinned evilly.
"Hey, Naruto." Neji called loudly. "Come here and meet my cousin, the adorably cute Hinata-chan."
"D…Don't Neji." Protested Hinata as she blushed even redder.
"Hey Hinata." Naruto smiled a heart breakingly cute smile at Hinata. Hinata could feel a momentary stop in her pulse. As she finally learned to speak again she tried to say something.
"H…Hi, Na…Naru…Naruto kun. Um…plea…please to um… meet …you." Stammered Hinata nervously. Crap, swore Hinata silently in her head. That is so lame she scolded herself furiously as she helplessly stared at Naruto like the way a fly is attracted to a fly zapper. Neji grinned as he saw Hinata gaping at Naruto like he is the only guy left in the world. He thought that Hinata needed a little shove to start off with Naruto.
"Hey, since Naruto is new." Neji smiled evilly. "How about you take care of him and help him find his classes Hinata?" Without waiting for an answer Neji grabbed Hinata's arm and shoved her into Naruto sending both of them tumbling backwards. That dumb ass Naruto needs help finding his way to everywhere, she will be stuck with him for at least half a year at the best muttered Neji under his breath as he grinned once again.
Along the corridor a petite black haired girl listening to her Ipod strode confidently over to Hinata and Yukiko. She had raven black straight hair which was piled onto her head and kept there by a combination of pure luck and chopsticks. She was chewing her bubble gum happily and was singing along to 'I'm Not OK' by My Chemical Romance. (God knows how she managed it with all the screaming and male voices rising to ear splitting crescendos.) She wore a huge black T-shirt with the words 'Don't be cruel to emos' written on it with red bloody letterings. Underneath she wore a pair of denim short shorts with super long boots that was white. (Anybody knows how she pulled it off??) Walking past a group of skating skater boys (Der, what else does skater boys do, bike ride?) She succeeded in making them all crash into something when they were staring at her instead of concentrating on skating.
The massive crash caught Neji's attention and when he turned around and caught sight of the girl striding down the corridor towards him. This time it was Neji's turn to hyper ventilate. Yukiko looked up at the crashing sounds, seeing Ten-ten and the havoc she caused Yukiko grinned knowingly and called out. "Hey, Ten."
"Don't call me that 4 eyes." Ten-ten called back. Yukiko dumped the assignments she was holding and pushed the sunglasses onto the top of her head.
"What did you call me?" Asked Yukiko menacingly giving Ten-ten death stares.
"Four…" Ten-ten was cut off by Hinata holding her mouth shut.
"Um, you don't want to get into a scuffle with Yukiko this morning." Whispered Hinata nervously. "See that dent on my locker door." Hinata gestured. "That's cause she kicked it." (How on earth she got herself untangled from Naruto without dying of a heart attack/hyperventilation I have no idea)
"Geez, when is Yukiko ever in a good mood?" Asked Ten-ten rolling her eyes. "If you count me as a bright spark, then Yukiko would still be a dark cloud." Ten-ten turned around at that moment and noticed Neji's idiotic stare fixed on her.
"So, Hinata, do you know that guy who is gaping at me?" Asked Ten-ten raising a eyebrow. That action almost made Neji chock on his own saliva.
"Yeah." Replied Hinata. This time it was her turn to grin evilly. (Funny how much Neji and Hinata actually look like each other.) Grabbing Neji's arm Hinata shoved him into Ten-ten. Pay back Hinata whispered under her breath. Smiling brightly Hinata said bubbly.
"Since you don't know where to go Neji, maybe my good friend Ten-ten will help you. Hey?" Hinata asked. She ran off quickly before Neji could compose himself enough to choke her. Turning to the still sizzling Yukiko Hinata patted her arm comfortingly.
"So, um, who else do you think Neji brought to this school?" Hinata asked. Almost as if they hear her the boys all stepped forward to stand next to Naruto and Neji.
"Um, let me introduce my friends." Hurried Neji still blushing.
"Ok, this is Sai." Neji pointed to a tall black head smiling like he was on drugs.
"This is Shikamaru." Neji indicated to a brown headed boy whose hair was pulled back into a spiky ponytail.
"That's Sasuke." Looking over at the tall boy with pale skin and ebony hair.
"And that's Gaara." Neji poked a lanky red headed boy with the Japanese kanji/Chinese word for 'love' tattooed onto his forehead.
"Say hi girls." Neji grinned evilly once more.
