A/N: Whee! This was so much fun to write. I love the vast difference in personality between these two. It makes for an interesting, two-sided story. x3
Chapter Two: Awkward Moments
There are very few people in this world who are able to be as meek as Hyuuga Hinata. Even when yawning, as she is now, she is as meek as a mouse, her mouth only opening a fraction of a centimeter which she covered with a slightly cupped hand. Light from a window left carelessly uncovered shined down on the girl as she slowly awakened.
Opening her eyes hesitantly, she felt a twinge of annoyance towards the bright sun that blinded her instantly. She moved slightly to get to her feet.
I didn't go to bed last night… maybe someone put me here after I fell asleep.
She gracefully stepped onto a wooden floor and felt her way to the blaring window tentatively.
My feet feel big this morning…
When she reached the window, Hinata was startled by a loud bang, and her eyes jerked open.
"Hey, dobe, did you forget we have a mission today?" a familiar male voice called.
This isn't my house!!
Upon brief inspection, the timid girl realized her location was not the Hyuuga estate, but instead the apartment of a very messy person.
"Hey! Idiot! Are you even awake?" the voice snarled. "Open the damn door!"
Slightly offended, Hinata stomped towards the door that the voice was coming from and slammed it open.
"Excuse me!" she scolded. "Who--"
She stopped in her tracks when she realized that the person on the other side of the doorway was Uchiha Sasuke.
He narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong with you?"
Hinata remained paralyzed. Who does he think he's talking to? Maybe he's hallucinating… but then again, why am I here? There's something very wrong here.
"H-hold on, Sasuke-san…" She ran away from the door and into the room she assumed was the bathroom.
Since when does Naruto call me Sasuke-san? Or stutter? The dark boy smirked. The blonde wouldn't do it again, would she? Guess there's one way to find out.
He stepped silently inside the apartment as a loud scream erupted from the bathroom.
"NARUTO-KUN?!" Hinata grabbed her face… or, rather, Naruto's. "W-WHAT?!"
Thud.
Sasuke folded his arms and shook his head at the unconscious body lying on the floor before him. He couldn't suppress the amused grin that spread across his stoic face as the Sharingan faded to black.
I told Sakura we should have killed that blonde bitch.
Naruto, for the first time in his entire life, was left speechless as he stared into the hard eyes of Hyuuga Hiashi while pinned against the cupboard in a foreign kitchen.
Daughter?! Isn't he Hinata's father? Since when am I Hinata?
"Father?" A child's voice called gently. "What are you doing to sister?"
Naruto could see a small girl approach the menacing man from behind.
Hyuuga Hanabi?
"I'm sure she was just sleepwalking, father. Right, Hinata-neesan?" A sparkle was evident in the younger girl's eye.
Assuming this was towards him, Naruto merely nodded.
Hiashi stepped away slowly and glanced down at Hanabi, eyeing her suspiciously. He then turned and left as quickly and quietly as he had come.
Naruto let go of a breath he was unaware he was holding. "You should be glad that my father did not activate his Byakugan, Naruto-san."
He looked up at the cheerful girl. "I don't know what's going on, but thank you! He was gonna eat me alive!" She let out a hushed giggle. "What's so funny?"
"It's strange seeing someone like you in my sister's body. You two are so different!"
Naruto laughed. "Yeah we are… hey wait, what?" He looked down at his body, and it only took a split second to realize his plight. He choked on his spit.
"I… have… I… am… I'M IN HINATA'S BODY! GET ME OUUUUT!"
Before Hanabi could say another word, Naruto was gone and running down the street.
Hinata's right, he's kind of cute.
Hinata stirred and slowly came to life for the second time that day. Her head ached severely and she couldn't find any strength in her body at all.
Ugh. What just happened?
"Hinata?" a soft female voice said. "Are you okay?"
Hinata could only grunt in reply.
Who the hell are you?
The girl bolted upright from the floor in surprise, startling the two other people in the room as well.
"What's wrong?!" Sakura put her hand to Hinata's head.
"Somebody… who…" She felt sick.
You're not the idiot who belongs in this body. Where is he?
Who's there? Who's in my mind?!
She heard a dark snicker, then silence.
"Hinata!" The pink haired girl looked panicked. She turned to face her slowly.
"I'm fine, Sakura-san… w-what's going on?"
Sasuke stepped forward. "You've got your mind switched with the clumsy idiot's." This earned him a glare from Sakura. "Hn. Sorry, Naruto's."
Hinata's lip quivered. "You mean… I'm in Naruto-kun's body… and… and… h-he's in mine?" Her face was deathly pale.
"Yeah, we think so anyways." Sakura let out an exasperated sigh. "You can thank Ino for that."
"W-why would she do s-something like that?"
"She's a little fu—oof!" Sakura elbowed the Uchiha in the stomach before he could finish his sentence. He glared at her maliciously, but did not resume his speech.
"We don't know why, but it happened to us before, too."
Hinata looked at her hopefully. "So w-what do we do?"
Sakura lowered her gaze. "I'm not sure, really. It's different for every case."
"Knowing that… blonde… it's probably something stupid." Sasuke scoffed.
A loud, unmistakably Naruto-style yell interrupted their thoughts.
Sakura's eyes widened. "Sasuke-kun, as soon as Naruto realizes he's in Hinata's body, he's going to break into your house looking for you. You might want to catch him there before he does anything stupid."
"You mean like exist?" The Uchiha was gone in a flash.
Sakura looked sadly at Hinata. "I'm sorry about his attitude. He gets that way sometimes."
Hinata forced a small smile. "It's okay…"
They sat in silence for a few minutes.
"You should probably get dressed. It's going to be a long day." Sakura made her way through the messy room towards the dresser and pulled out a familiar bright orange outfit. "Gotta look the part, right?" She grinned.
Hinata's smile grew. "Y-yeah." She stood up shakily and took the suit from Sakura.
The Hyuuga heiress was nearly in the bathroom when she stopped dead and her face began to redden.
"Hinata?"
She turned to face Sakura slowly with a sick look on her face. "I-I'm going to… have to take these clothes off… first…"
"Just don't think about it." Hinata nodded and padded into the bathroom.
God forbid the moment she has to shower.
Thud.
Sakura smacked a hand to her forehead. Oh wait... Naruto doesn't wear underwear.
A/N: I have a feeling that this series is going to end up being a little longer than its predecessor.
