Now without any further ado, chapter 2!
"If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got. If you want things that you never got, you must do things you have never done!" - Nishan Panwar
Hinata blinked a few times, light entered her vision and she adjusted her eyesight. Hinata groaned and immediately put a hand to her forehead with some effort.
'I feel like I've just been hit by a cooking pan upside the head' Hinata thought remembering when Neji had tried to make breakfast but it ended up with a pineapple stuck in the toilet and Hanabi unconscious.
Hinata giggled slightly at the precious memory and rested her back on the bed's headboard. She looked around to find a nicely decorated room with light purple walls and a polished wood brown floor. A pure white carpet was placed next to her bed. The bed had purple sheets that matched the walls and by the window was a white desk with white bookcases on both sides of the desk. In the corner of the room was a purple dresser that matched the walls and sheets. After a second or so Hinata knew this was her dorm room.
It was her dorm room in the mixed dorm with those boys. Oh god.
Hinata's eyes widened at the realization. She had fainted previously in front of the dormitory entrance, when she found out her dorm mates would be all the people she had angered.
'I bet all of them want to kill me!' Hinata thought, anxiety forming within her. There was no way she could handle living with all of them for the next 4 years. Distressed, Hinata flung the covers off her body and scrambled to the floor, only to trip on something or someone. On her floor sat a woman- a blue haired woman to be exact.
How Hinata had missed her when she looked around the room was a mystery to her. A big mystery, how in the world do you miss a body lying on your floor? It's like the police not noticing a suspicious hooded figure running away from a crime scene.
Beautiful amber eyes snapped open; the woman looked around in alert trying to figure out where she was. Her eyes locked on Hinata. Hinata shifted nervously, ready to run out of the room at any moment.
'The door is just a little feet away from me! Just a little more...' Hinata thought, mentally reaching for the doorknob.
Then the woman smiled softly, giving her a look not be afraid. Hinata let out an inaudible sigh. So in her room wasn't a homicidal criminal, thank goodness.
Hinata took in the girl's appearance.
Beautiful short blue hair was sprawled against the girl's slim yet broad shoulders, and warm amber eyes that could be compared to caramel were framed by light lavender eye shadow. She had cherry pink lips and a silver stud right under it. Her fair flawless skin seemed to shine in the light and her figure was slim with a large bust giving her a seductive figure- a figure that any normal women would die for.
To sum it all up in three words, this lady in Hinata's room was drop-dead-gorgeous.
"Hyuga Hinata-san. Am I correct?" The woman said, interrupting Hinata's thoughts.
"H-h-hai!" Hinata squeaked. The woman just smiled and stared.
"My name is Konan. Sorry for intruding but you fainted back there. It seems like you had a fever. I had to stay here and watch over you, Hyuga-san. The fever was quite high. Are you well now? Would you like anything?" The woman known as Konan explained politely. Hinata's eyes widened with surprise. She was being so troublesome to a person she had never met before.
"Konan-san! I...I am so sorry for making y-you have to watch over me! Ah...thank you but you didn't have to do that. I must have been so t-troublesome!" Hinata swallowed a big lump in her throat. What was she doing? She had made most of her dorm mates mad at her already and now she was letting them take care of her. She had to repay them back somehow.
'You should have payed attention to your self." Hinata scolded herself in her head. Konan shot her a concerned look.
"Hyuga-san, it was no trouble at all. I could not just sit down and let your fever get worse" Konan placed a hand on her shoulder. "I am terribly sorry but we are the only two females in this dorm. The rest are boys and they are not exactly normal. It has been more than 6 years since I have had a real girl friend to talk to. I will not let the only other girl in this dorm die from a fever." Konan's grip tightened on Hinata making her squeak quietly. "Oh I'm sorry," Konan removed her hand from Hinata's shoulder and let it go limp to her side. "It's just.." The aura around Konan changed and it did not go unnoticed by Hinata.
Hinata unconsciously moved away from Konan feeling killer intent radiating from her.
"Konan-san?"
"...staying with these idiotic men for 6 years without any single girl expect for yourself will really make you desperate for any type of girl companion." Konan sighed, the killing intent vanishing just as quickly as it came. "So, Hyuga-san please don't try to run away. I promise I won't let the boys hurt you...if they do..." The killer intent was back in full force even making Hinata tremble a bit.
"You want me to stay...I d-don't know," Hinata muttered, visualizing herself living in this dormitory.
To be honest after her encounter with most of the inhabitants of this dormitory, she really didn't want to stay. She'd honestly like to say adios to Konan and head to the headmistress's office to request another dorm. Hinata wasn't even sure how to apologize and thank Konan for tending to her.
But she couldn't refuse, and leave Konan alone, it just wasn't in Hinata's nature to abandon someone who asking for help and company. Konan must have been lonely.
Hinata shook off the irrational thoughts and tried to think clear. There was no way any of them would actually kill, she tried to convince herself. Keyword being "tried". She looked at Konan who was almost wearing a hopeful expression. Although it seemed like all of her dorm mates were older than her and maybe even by next year they would be gone.
Hinata sent her eyes to the floor, as if trying to will Konan to disappear. Her gaze was intense. Hinata didn't want to leave Konan alone but she also didn't want to stay here. She didn't know if she would be able to even handle it. She wanted to have a normal high school life in a regular female dorm.
"Konan-san, I'm s-sorry. I guess I'll be going to the headmistress in the morning," Hinata murmured not daring to look Konan in the eyes. She hated disappointing people and knew she was being selfish.
"Oh, I see. Well it is your choice." The sadness was evident in Konan's voice which sparked Hinata to feel guilt like disgusting bile crawling up her throat.
She brought her hand around her waist in a hugging position. As Konan was going to leave the room, Hinata remembered what her mother used to say "Take a chance, forget the titles, and some people aren't that bad." Hinata didn't understand how she remembered that from when she was six years old but that saying seemed to be applying to this situation. Perhaps, it was fate that she managed to remember it.
'Yep.' Hinata thought, 'there goes my resolve.'
She couldn't leave Konan alone. She could apologize to everyone else and maybe even become friends with them...that may be a little too much. She would prove her worth little by little by taking risks and helping Konan as well. It was a win-win situation for both of them, putting aside Hinata' excessive fainting. (She wondered if they had pills for that.)
No! You're going to fail!
I'm not a failure.
You're going to fall.
Well then I'll get back up.
You can't take a risk.
It's my time to prove that I can.
You're being reckless.
I believe I can do it.
You're being selfish if you put yourself in danger for your own self satisfaction that Konan will be happy.
I know. But once in a while I simply want to do what I want without fearing. I need to take a chance.
You will regret it.
Maybe.
Hinata looked to Konan and for once in her life, she decided to be daring and risky. Hesitantly she said, "Konan-san, I won't run away. I'll stay." Konan's eyes quickly lit up like Christmas had come early but then that look soon vanished replaced with a calm and relieved expression.
"Oh my god, thank you Hyuga-san! Do you mind if I call you Hinata-chan? Thank you!" Konan smiled and at the moment seemed to be epitome of joy. Hinata nodded in approval at dropping the formality. "If you don't mind, why made you change your mind?"
Hinata's smile froze on her face. "It's not really a-anything much, I s-suppose. I just don't want to...um..leave you without any girl c-companion anymore. I want..to be your f-friend after all. Once in a while, I can make risks for my friends...right?"
"Definitely friends. Thank you. I guess I will be going now, Hinata-chan since you are feeling well. I'll meet you after your school tomorrow to tell you about the other people in this dorm." Konan said and then turned to leave before adding, "One thing you should know, everyone here is apart of the Akatsuki and you should really not mess with them." The door opened and closed, leaving Hinata alone in her room.
Hinata's confidence exploded instantly. It was as if the remains of it scattered throughout the bedroom, leaving Hinata searching for each piece. She let herself face palm, and then muttered "You are going to regret this very much."
Hinata didn't know what the Akatsuki was but she decided she didn't like the sound of it. For once in her life, she ignored everything and maybe she would go with the flow and see where this took her. There was nothing wrong with casting aside all your problems once in awhile. Just to be safe, she ran to her door and locked it quickly, before jumping atop her bed and snuggling under her covers. She would regret it but maybe it would fun. Like a roller coaster.
"I won't die, right mom?"
End-Chapter Two: Erasing the Title as You Take A Chance.
A/N: Konan was not very prominent in the series so I'm struggling with her personality. I just see her as someone that is calm and reserved but does get annoyed with the other men but doesn't show it.
About the chapter lengths they will all vary, it's pretty much how much information I want to mention in that chapter.
