Chapter 2: The Only Brother
"You know...you didn't have to walk me all the way here. Your high school is about mile away from here; are you sure you won't be late?"
"Who's that girl?"
"Kyaaah!~ He's so hot! Is that his girlfriend?"
"He must be a high schooler, that girl so so lucky! I'm jealous."
"I won't be late Hinata-sama. I have never been late to school. I'm just making sure that no foul demon will bother you."
"Damn, that girl is cuuute!"
"Let's go ask her out to karaoke."
The man with long chocolate covered hair glared. His eyes, fierce. Everyone became quiet, for they had a feeling that they have never had. The girl next to him had indigo hair that went a little bit past her shoulders. She had the same eyes as him, they looked like moons. Except her eyes had a tint of lavender.
She wore a white and red sailor fuku. The girls who walked inside the school had the same uniform but, as for this girl she stood out like a snow white bunny in front of a red background.
She tilted her head towards the left, making a cute curious face. He turned to her and saw that face. The boys behind him had a nosebleed and attempted to cover it. Even her cousin had an "inner" nosebleed. He was not incest (or so thought he did) towards his cousin or any of his family members. It would be a disgrace to his family.
"I should get going Hinata-sama, stay out of trouble. Call me if anyone bothers you." He told her.
She nodded in response. "Yeah!" She giggled. They both said their goodbyes and headed towards their school grounds.
Hyuuga Hinata was practically the star at Konoha Middle School. At the same time she was quite the loner. She excelled in her studies, athletics, music, and the arts. But, that was not enough for her father. She was too kind and naive to hurt anybody. She did not master taijutsu. She was immediately put to shame even though she seemed perfect in every way and looked cheery, a fire burned inside of her. A fire big enough to take down a village and its people.
As she walked towards her classroom A-4 on the 4th floor, she saw a crowd of...girls.
Sasuke-san must already be here.
"Sasuke!" That voice...Naruto-kun!
His voice was clear and loud- as usual. But, he seemed like he was urgent. Like something bad had happened. Before she could even say "O-Ohiyo Gozaimasu, Naruto-kun!" to him she stopped and watched him run past her.
"Get out of the way you hyena's!" Hinata turned around and saw Naruto fast walking towards the classroom. He couldn't go throught the crowd. So, as an Uzumaki he did it the Uzumaki way. Going above. Naruto climbed over the pack of hyena's.
"Hey!"
"Watch it Uzumaki! You're messing my hair up!"
"What's with you?"
"Your butt is in my face!"
Behind Hinata, a couple of girls whispered among themselves.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"What?"
"You know Uchiha Itachi in the highschool division right?"
"Yeah? What about him? He's such a hottie!"
"Well, I heard on the news that he died in a car crash along with the high school division's kaichou, Konan."
"EEEH! Isn't he Sasuke-kun's-"
"OUT OF MY WAY!" Naruto yelled.
Worried, Hinata quickly walked towards the classroom, softly pushing away the pack of hyena's and following Naruto'd trail. Along with the other girls she stood there and saw, Uchiha Sasuke sitting in his desk, looking very tired and bored- as usual. Uzumaki Naruto, stood in front of his desk, looking straight into his eyes. The eyes of the ocean met with the darkness of the sea floor.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, with his usual harsh and cold words. But, something seemed different with him. He was not extremely cold nor he was giving off a seriousness. His voice, seemed sad and in pain.
Naruto suddenly pulled Sasuke by his collar and held him up.
The girls gasped. Hinata gasped.
Sasuke just looked down at him, emotionless.
"Teme! You...You know I'm worried about you?"
"And what about it?" Sasuke replied coldly.
"You bastard. Your brother just died and Konan died too! Why are you making such face! A face like Itachi didn't even exist!"
Sasuke immediately flashed him an evil glare. "Shut up, what do you know! You never had a family in the first place!" Naruto's eyes widened from shock to what his best friend said. He looked down and the shadow covered his eyes. His teeth were locked onto place and grinded. He clenched his fist. Naruto looked up at his best friend with sad eyes.
"You know, even though I didn't have a family, I thought of you as my brother." His voice was awfully quiet and somber. Sasuke didn't want to look at him and looked towards the window outside.
"Leave me alone, all of you."
Sasuke easily let go out of Naruto's grasp, took his bag, and pushed away the crowd of girls. When he passed Hinata, Hinata couldn't help, but to stare at the young man. She saw that look in his eyes, eyes full of loneliness. Uchiha Sasuke decided to ditch class for once.
His fan girls were scared, to be honest. Their beloved Sasuke-kun was scary and cruel. None of them decided to go after him. Nor did Hinata, because she was mostly worried about Naruto. But, knowing Naruto, she didn't want to bother him. Naruto needed time to himself, needing time to think about what just happened.
Hinata was class rep and a class rep's duty was to help her classmates. She followed Uchiha Sasuke. He would be in his usual place, the roof top.
Hinata slightly creaked open the roof top door and took a peek. Sasuke was up on top of a smaller building (which from the inside was a storage room on the outside it has a ladder to climb on). She opened the door and closed it from behind her and she headed up the ladder.
There she found Uchiha Sasuke sitting down with his legs open and his arms over it. The cool wind brushed his jet black hair. His eyes full of sadness. He was too concentrated on the situation not to even notice Hinata below him. She climbed the latter but, did not climb all the way and took a peek up at the beauty everyone loved.
The sun was up high, the leaves passed by, the clouds were missing from the blue sky.
Uchiha Sasuke cried. He didn't make any sounds or closed his eyes. He just cried. And cried. And cried again. Seeing him cry, made Hinata cry too. She tried her best to be quiet.
"Itachi." That single word had so many mixed emotions. So much, sadness. Hinata couldn't keep quiet anymore and let out her crying voice.
Sasuke quickly turned to Hinata, whom had shown herself to him. Her face was flushed with tears. Sasuke quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve and pretended like none of that happened.
"Why are you here, Hinata?" he asked her.
She quickly wiped her tears with her laced handkerchief and put it back into her pocket.
She didn't want to but, she did. She went towards Uchiha Sasuke and hugged him. She gave him a motherly hug.
He was shocked. He would usually push the girl off but, he needed it. Hinata's hug felt like his own mother's hug. She smelled like lavender. A refreshing smell of lavender. Strangely, he hugged her back. A pink shade of blush covered Hinata's face. Sasuke, remained emotionless. He closed his eyes.
"Don't cry. Don't cry. Itachi-san, will always be in your heart."
Sasuke only cried one tear and nodded in agreement. "I know."
Second period P.E was awkward between the pearl eyed Hinata and the onyx eyes Sasuke.
After their little moment together, Kakashi suddenly burst through the door with Naruto. Sasuke and Hinata immediately jumped away. Hinata was so embaressed that she was "caught" hugging with Uchiha Sasuke by her crush Uzumaki Naruto. What she didn't know was that Naruto didn't even know Hinata was even hugging him, That they were simply having a chit chat. It didn't bother him at all.
Kakashi busted Sasuke and Hinata for 'attempting to skip first period' together. Luckily Hinata nor Sasuke had any consequences since this time it was, 'okay'.
Anyhow, noticing that Hinata was with Sasuke he told MIGHT GAI to do pairings for P.E. And made a recommendation for Hinata to be with Sasuke. Gai disapproved but, knowing Kakashi he can make Gai do anything. -using blackmail- (Hint: Acorn)
"Hey hey, look, it's the Hyuuga Heiress."
"Man, I am so glad that we're in her class!"
"Not many people know her, huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, other dudes would rather go out with Haruno Sakura or Yamanaka Ino but, Hyuuga Hinata is something! She always comes to school an hour early to clean up our classrooms even though she isn't on duty for it. She's so quiet too."
"No wonder it's so clean! Wait, how do you know she comes an hour early?"
"I-It's not like that, man!"
Hinata was fully dressed in the schools P.E uniform. A tight, white P.E shirt with a single red stripe on the sleeve and red shorts that went up to her thighs. Her silky hair was put into a high ponytail. The boys gawked at her when she came out of the locker room.
"Okay! Everyone gather around and listen! I've noticed that your youth has been taken for granted, from now own you will have partners for P.E!"
Some people booed and some cheered.
"But," Everyones face fell.
"I will assign you partners, isn't that great! Your youth will defiantly won't be taken for granted." Everyone booed, Gai continued on.
"Ahem. Okay, go meet your partner when I call out your name! First is, Inuzuka Kiba! Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto slumped down. He wanted to be paired up with Sakura.
"The two idiots, how typical." Sakura told Ino and nodded in agreement.
"Haruno Sakura! Yamanaka Ino!"
The girls both practicaly glared daggers at each other.
"Aburame Shino! Nara Shikamaru!"
"Akimichi Chouji! Yuki Haku!
The list went on and on until, "Well, it turns out that Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata are the only ones left."
Hinata timidly looked over towards Sasuke shyly. The boys were disappointed that they did not end up with Hyuuga Hinata. The girls glared hell towards the timid, shy girl as she approached the lone wolf.
"Neee~ Gai-senseiii!" The pinky asked.
"What is it Haruno?"
"Why does Hyuuga-san -who is a girl- get to be paired up with Sasuke-kun, who is clearly a boy?" Haruno Sakura clearly did not like not Hinata because, she was paired up with HER SASUKE-KUN! How can Hyuuga Hinata be paired up with Uchiha Sasuke but, HARUNO SAKURA CANNOT BE PAIRED UP WITH HIM? She was furious!
Of course Gai-sensei will not accept a boy and girl as partners for P.E! It's not fair!
"You do have a point Haruno." SHANNAROOOOOO! Of course!
"But," EEEEEH?
"It will not be even because 2 groups of three is not fair." Sakura was filled with dissapointment and anger.
You win this time, Hyuuga.
Sasuke gave out a long sigh. Gai has instructed to do their "youthful stretching" while he had to do some 'things'.
They both sat down. Hinata sat in front of him and Sasuke sat behind her. She took her feet out and stretched while Sasuke pushed her back.
"THAT DAMN UCHIHA!" the boys in the background cursed.
"THAT DAMN HYUUGA!" the girls in the background cursed.
Urgh...this is annoying...Sasuke said to himself madly.
"Take this Uchiha!' from behind, someone kicked Sasuke from behind. Quickly reacting, he grabbed Hinata and turned his head. "Oi! Watch it you idiot!" the girls were pretty shocked and so were the boys. The quiet Uchiha Sasuke was yelling, and protecting a girl? What was just going on?
"E-E-E-Eto! Uchiha-saaan!"
"What?"
Sasuke turned to Hinata and looked over her. His hands were placed right ontop of...her breasts. How un-Sasuke like.
"Sorry." he apologized and immediatly let go.
"I-It's okay." she puckered her lips as a flush of red appeared once more on her face.
The day went by pretty fast for the Uchiha and Hyuuga, actually. But, it was due to Hinata's acts that made the day go by faster. She practily attempted to back away from the Uchiha after that little event with her 'breasts'. During P.E, Hinata was practily saved because, today's lesson was Girl's Volleyball and Boy's basketball. Throughout the day went smooth for her.
Uchiha Sasuke had his own problems to think of. He thought about how he was going to take care of Kazu while he was at school. Today, Nagato took the day off (for once) to take care of Kazu. So that just saved him for one day. Sasuke thought that if he used the money from which he inherited for babysitting, everything would be solved! Except, how will he buy groceries and pay for the bills?
Being an adult sucks. Sasuke groaned loudly, only to make girls squeel and have nosebleeds. Oh yeah, I'm in homeroom for a "emergency meeting". Tch.
Iruka walked into the roudy classroom and began instructing.
"Now now everyone, class has begun." Iruka calmed the class down and began this "meeting".
"Starting from today everybody will be in partners."
"EEEEH?" The class bolted out. Iruka shot out a glare and the class immediatly shut up.
"As you all know the Cultural Festival is coming up next month. So, since I'm pretty sure you all will not be able to decide on one thing, Kiba, Naruto." Iruka sent them a glare. Both of the dog-like boys murmured and crossed their arms.
"So, I asked some our class represenatives and some other mature teens in this classroom for what they would like to do. They all agreed on..."
He paused. Everyone was eager what it was. Naruto was even sweating! He sincerly hoped that it wasn't a cafe or anything like that. Last year for the Cultural Festival they had a cafe and Naruto slipped on a napkin which made him fly across the room with a tray of hot cofee right into the breasts of the principal of Konoha Gakuen, Tsunade. Oh, never again he would touch a tray of tea. Being pumbled by the hands of a 50 year old beastly woman...gives him shivers.
"A cafe!"
Sucks to be you Naruto.
Everyone clapped in joy. Well, the girls did.
"Not just any ordinary cafe either, a cosplay cafe!" Iruka-sensei said proudly.
A certain blonde immediatly put his hand up. "Iruka-sensei! If we don't have a cosplay outfit we won't be able to participate right?" Naruto hoped he would say, "That's right!"
"Nope! You are required to participate Naruto! You can improvise." Naruto slumped in his seat. He then rose back up with his hand in the air.
"What is it Naruto?"
"Will Tsunade baa-chan be here?"
"YES Naruto. She'll be going to every classroom."
Naruto slumped in his seat once again. Even looking more depressed.
Iruka quieted down the class and explained why they were needed to be in partners. To cooperate better, make new friends, and to work as a team.
"Okay, listen up, I won't say it again! Class will be ending in a few seconds. So I'll post the paper on the window!"
The bell rang. Everyone immediatly went towards the list of partners. Especially, the girls.
Partners:
Haruno Sakura - Uzumaki Naruto (Waiters and Menu Designers)
Yamanaka Ino - Nara Shikamaru (Designers)
Honjo Ayame - Akimichi Chouji (Chefs)
And the list went on. The girls eagerly were searching for Uchiha Sasuke's name, hoping to be right next to him. But...
Hyuuga Hinata - Uchiha Sasuke (Waiters and Menu Designers)
