Chapter 2
First Day
"Miss Hyuga," Hanabi sat up straight upon hearing her name. "Yes Sir?" Her teacher eyed her.
"Can you answer the question?" She looked at the board. She had no idea what the question was… "From now on keep your eyes on the board and off of you're classmates." The class rippled with chuckles, making Hanabi look down. She felt something soft grab her hand; it was Itachi who smiled encouragingly down at her. "Alright, you are dismissed."
The class filled out and Itachi walked with her to her locker. "Don't worry about him," he said meaning their teacher. "He's a real stiff, he'll warm up to you though." She skeptically looked up at him. "Right…when pigs fly, Itachi-Sama." He playfully pushed her, "Come on Miss Hyuga, its lunch now. I'm sure that you'll be able to make it through that."
When she received her food tray she looked around the large cafeteria. She felt like an idiot standing in the middle of the room while everyone sat smiling and laughing. "Miss Hyuga!! Miss Hyuga, over here!" She looked around to find her caller, it was Itachi. He was waving and smiling for her to sit with him. She sat down beside him and they began conversation about the day's happenings.
They were in the middle of the conversation when a voice was heard behind them. "Itachi Uchiha, what is a senior doing with a freshman?" Itachi turned around and glared at the boy addressing him. "Edmund, she's my friend, do you have a problem with that?" Hanabi looked over Edmund. He was tall and slender. He had long black hair that reached his mid back. His eyes were bright blue. He was very very pretty. He looked over at Hanabi and she looked down, a blush spreading across her face. "You, freshman, what's your name?" "Hanabi Hyuga…nice to meet you."
He smiled at her, "Another Hyuga? Just what this school needs." His sarcasm made her want to kick something. Itachi stood up and got into Edmund's face. She looked at him afraid he's punch Edmund's face in. His eyes seemed to flash to bright red, she looked at the college student whose eyes had also changed color. They now shone bright purple. A deep growling sound came from the back of Itachi's throat, making Hanabi jump. Edmund grinned in return. "Why don't you just run off to you precious little Hyuga girlfriend, Itachi?" "Hanabi isn't my girlfriend," he said still glaring. "She isn't the Hyuga I was referring to," he smiled at him then turned to Hanabi and bowed then walked away.
Itachi sat down and looked at Hanabi, his eyes were black again. "Sorry about that, Hanabi-Kun." She noticed a small blush on his cheeks. "That was Edmund Movack. He's a first year college student. He and I have never gotten along." He got up to dump his and Hanabi's tray. "Come on, Hanabi-Kun, we have P.E. next. We'll need to change."
She looked down at her P.E. uniform. She was dressed in black skin tight shorts and a red sports bra that read Kumo across the front. To her dismay Edmund was in this class. Itachi walked up behind her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "We're playing lacrosse today. It'll be fun!"
The coach split the teams, in the end Itachi and Hanabi ended up being on opposite teams. Within the fifty percent chance of getting Edmund on her team she thought she'd be okay. To put it simply, she wasn't. Edmund walked over to her and smiled, "It's great that we're on the same team huh Hyuga?" He flashed his best prize winning smile and patted her shoulder.
It was mid game and Hanabi was completely focused. The ball was on the opposite side. A boy named Naruto passed the ball to Itachi who threw it over. Hanabi went to catch the heavy metal ball but found herself on the ground, costing her team the game point. She pulled herself off the ground thinking about how she had fallen. Her shoe laces were tied and the grass was dry and she hadn't tripped over her feet.
She began to brush herself off when Edmund backed her up against the net. "You cost us the game you little twit!" She looked up at him, her lavender eyes wide with fear. They were alone. No one, not even Itachi, was in sight. He grabbed her wrist and grinned. "Please, let go…" she said timidly. He leaned down in her face and bared his teeth like a wild animal would.
Hanabi saw a dark figure appeared between her and Edmund. Itachi's hand flung across Edmund's face. Edmund released Hanabi and clutched his cheek, when he brought his hand down there were four long scratches where Itachi's nails had dug into his flesh. Blood dripped from Itachi's hand, he lifted it and licked a small trail off of his finger tip. "You…How dare you?!" Edmund screamed in his face. "You will remember your place, Edmund Movack!" Itachi retorted furiously. "I know my place! You're nothing but a", he was interrupted by Itachi. "I am a pureblood, may I remind you. And you are nothing but a filthy little mixedblood, hiding behind your daddy's title. So keep you're tongue." Itachi grabbed Hanabi's hand and began to walk toward the dorms. "Just remember Uchiha!" Edmund called after them. "I know what you did." Itachi walked faster toward the dorms, dragging Hanabi behind him.
