I DON'T OWN NARUTO!
Behind My Eyes
Chapter 3- My Father's Decision
Hey KibaHina fans! Here's chapter 3 of Behind MyEyes! Now, a recap of what happened last chapter. Naruto almost killed Hinata or "Miki" remember?
"I'm going to ask one more time nicely. Let me see your goddamn eyes."
"I-I'm sorry." The girl said, turning away from him. The man lifted his hand and slapped the girl across the face. She fell out of her chair. She lifted up her hands and blocked the next two punches. The third hit her square in the neck and sent blood shooting out of the girl's mouth. She coughed up some more blood and Naruto walked over with an old sword covered in dried blood.
"You have been a bad girl." He said, swinging the sword right at her head. Kiba stepped in front of her and blocked the sword with another sword he'd found a minute earlier.
I can't sit down and watch as you kill ANOTHER girl!" Kiba yelled. Naruto moved back and said,
"Fine. If you care about this girl so much she can live with you."
"B-but sir! You barely give me enough money to feed myself! I can't care for another person!"
"Fine. I'll add a thousand to you monthly paycheck, which you will receive tomorrow. In the meantime, take this girl back to your house and NEVER let me see her again." Kiba nodded and grabbed Miki.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! I TOLD you Naruto kills people if they don't do what he wants and you didn't do what he wants! You're lucky I saved you or you could've DIED."
"Th-then why did you save me?" Hinata asked. The man was giving her a piggyback ride and couldn't see her eyes, so she opened them.
"I saved you because you remind me of someone."
"Who?" She asked.
"My old friend from high school. You look a lot like her. But she was always chasing after Naruto, so I never got a chance to talk to her like I wanted." The man explained.
"Oh! We're here." Hinata's eyes opened and she looked at the house. It reminded her of the servants courters at the Hyuuga household. It was small, had only six rooms and the whole place smelled like dogs. That didn't bother Hinata of course, ground up with Kiba- GOD! I have to stop thinking about him! Hinata thought viciously.
"I know it isn't much, but it's got a room that only leaks in one place and a furnace, so I call I home, and I guess you do too." The man said, rubbing his hair with his hand.
"Th-thank you. F-for saving me." Miki said quietly. Kiba smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay. You'll be safe here. Naruto wouldn't come here to save his life." A slow sigh broke through Miki's lips.
"I have to get back to work, but I'll he home around seven o'clock and we can have dinner then." Kiba said, walking to the door. Miki nodded and said,
"S-see you then." Kiba opened the door and left.
Hinata's eyes opened and she looked around.
"Let's see what I can do about the roof." She pulled her cell phone out of her bra, the perfect place for hiding things, and looked for a good, come-any-time roofing company.
The roofers were over in an hour. The clock said 3:28, so they had plenty of time to finish the roof. Hinata used her real name, and kept her eyes open. The roofers also put in new, brick siding to replace the rotting wood and the two windows that led to the outside were replaced. By the time it was 5:57, the outside of the house looked brand new.
Hinata sighed as she went inside. The landscapers weren't due for three days and she had no idea where a good furniture/paintshop was around Naruto's mansion.
She also wanted to break down some of the walls connecting the rooms and make the living room a little smaller, and the kitchen a little bigger. The appliances were outdated, so they'd need to be replaced, along with all of the pots, pans, dishes and silverware. The TV needed a cable package and just a new TV, and the house needed a computer and wi-fi. Of the six rooms, there was a kitchen, two bedrooms, a study, a living room, and a bathroom, not including the one connected to the man's room, making it seven rooms. She sighed.
"I don't have enough money to pay for all of it with me, and don't know where a bank is around here. It'd be weird to ask him, but then again, he's going to wonder where I got the money to pay for all of the roofing and siding." She said. She had a strange habit of talking to herself, but it helped at times like this, when she had lots of mental planning to do. She was going to need to make a stop at the bank before the landscapers got here and she needed the yard to be mowed. She scribbled all of it down on a piece of paper she found in the kitchen and was also icing a bruise that she got when she slammed her shin on the coffee table, which needed to be stained and polished. She looked at the clock. 6:48.
"Perfect! That's just enough time for me to get settled in my new room!" She walked into her designated room and started moving furniture. The dresser went in the left wall, the man's clothes went on tiny part of her closet to make room for when she actually started having clothes. It took her about ten minutes to move everything, and to take a huge bag full of trash into the kitchen and set it next to the garbage can. She sat down at the kitchen table and heard,
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" outside. She opened the door and
said, "Do you like it? I-I tried to k-keep the same c-colors as before."
Kiba sat gaping at the door.
"This is amazing. Did you do all of this?!"
"No. Llargo & Bro. Roofing Company did." Miki said nervously.
"Well, this is amazing! I love it!"
"Th-the landscapers will be here in three days and I need to get new furniture, computer, TV, wifi, blah, blah, blah." The raven haired girl said quietly.
"How can you pay for this?!"
"It's a long story."
"I'm willing to hear it."
"I-it doesn't matter." The girl said, turning her head away from Kiba.
"Does it have something to do with the fact that your eyes are practically glued shut?"
"You could say that."
"Well, anyway, let's get some food in you. You look like you haven't eaten in weeks." Kiba stood up and walked over to the freezer and pulled out some frozen food.
"It's not exactly king's food, but it'll do until I go shopping."
"I-it's fine." Miki mumbled, sitting down at the kitchen table.
Hinata's byakugan was activated a small amount so she could see the fork she was putting in her mouth.
"So, Miki." The man started to say.
"I like what you did to my house. It looks like people live here now. On the outside at least. This interior needs some work."
"I'm w-working on it." Hinata said quietly, taking another bite.
"So, d-do you want to b-be here when the landscapers come?"
"No, I think you've got it."
"Does any of the furniture in the house have significance to you?"
"No."
"I also need directions to the nearest bank."
"Naruto had an ATM put in in his garage. If you can sneak in there, you can take up to thirty thousand out."
"Thank you." Hinata said. What is this? Is this was prison food tastes like? She thought questioningly.
"Do you have a name I could put the house under for when I start to break down the walls?"
"Oh yeah! I haven't told you my name! I was so caught up in giving you your name and all these crazy repairs that I forgot." The man said with a laugh.
"My name is Kiba. Inuzuka Kiba." Hinata froze. KIBA?! What the hell is KIBA doing working for Naruto?! Kiba set down his fork and said,
"Are you done, Miki?"
"Y-yeah." Kiba... Kiba... Why him?! Hinata's mind raced.
"Your room is in he- oh, I see you've already started moving things. I'll drive you anywhere you wanna go to get clothes, furniture, things to put in here, yadda, yadda."
"Th-thank you Kiba-kun. For everything." Hinata said, sitting down on her bed.
She waited until she heard the door close to panic. Her eyes flew open and she paced back and forth, her mind thinking of repairs, appliances, and most of all, Kiba. The man she went to prom with, her first kiss, every important moment in Hinata's life usually had something to do with Kiba helping her to unsuccessfully make Naruto jealous. It never worked of course, Naruto being dumb as a brick, but Hinata always had fun when she was around Kiba. She thought back to the ring he had put in her hand, intending to give it to her, not Miki, after high school. A shallow breath escaped her lips and her fingers touched her forehead. Kiba...
~~~~The Next Morning~~~~
(Hinata's POV)
The next morning, Kiba left for work at five am, claiming he had to make Naruto breakfast at six and wake him up at six fifteen, so I got right to work. I called the Grantz Family Floor Recreaters and and they were over in an hour, tearing out the walls and removing everything in the house.
"I want the kitchen to be the third biggest room in the house. The first will be the master bedroom and the second will be the living room. The bathroom can stay as it is and the office and second bedroom can get a little smaller, but mostly the office because I live in that second bedroom."
"Yes, ma'am." After about five hours of giving directions to the men, I told them that they should take all of the furniture and burn it because it was all junk. The other people were here with the new kitchen and it took me less then twenty minutes to get four hundred thousand out of he ATM in Naruto's garage.
"I'll go furniture shopping later, but right now I have to go grocery shopping."
After an hour and a half of that, I came home and started dinner because the meat needed to simmer for another three hours before I could even dream of cooking it. The only furniture in the house was the kitchen full of appliances, so Kiba would be surprised when he got back. A knock came a the door and three men said,
"We're here to replace the bathrooms." It took an hour for them to do that and both bathrooms looked amazing when they were done. They showed me how everything worked, too. An hour later, the clock said, 3:57 and I began making dinner, because it took three hours to cook the meat, so it'd be ready when Kiba got back.
After finishing dinner and putting the meat in the oven, I plopped down against the wall. Another knock came to the door. That's weird. I thought. I don't remember calling anybody else today. I'm getting furniture put in tomorrow and the landscapers won't be here for two more days.
I walked over to the door and opened it, finding my father, Hyuuga Hiashi standing at the door.
"Ch-chichioya."
"You have a very nice... shack."
"Thank you. I paid for it with your money."
"Look. You have two more months to get settled down and married so you can continue the Hyuuga clan, or I'm demoting you!"
"Chichioya, I'm perfectly capable of living on my own. I'm very close to the man who works for Uzumaki Naruto, I think I'll be fine." I said, crossing my arms and neglecting to say that Naruto cursed my very being.
"Very well. You have two months to at least get engaged."
"Goodbye, chichioya. I have famous Hyuuga Bean Rolls to make." I slammed the door in my father's face and sighed. Finally, I had a place to stay, and my stupid father was ruining that too. I thought I had already been kicked out of the Hyuuga clan when my father put me up for auction, but apparently not.
"I'm baaack!" Kiba's voice rang from outside.
"W-welcome back." I said.
"So, what's that sm- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALL MY FURNITURE?!"
"I burned it. You said it was junk. By the way, you need to drive me to the furniture store tomorrow. And Best Buy. And the place that sells furnaces and air conditioners. It's September, you at LEAST need a furnace." Kiba sighed and I turned around.
"Dinner will be ready in a half hour. You came home earlier than I expected. Why don't you go check out the new bathrooms and larger bedroom? I also got paint for the walls ordered and that will be here tomorrow, but we have to put it on ourselves."
"This looks really nice!"
"Thanks. I knew- I mean, hoped you'd like it." I bit my tongue. Letting Kiba know who I was could lead to something bad.
"So, why're you doing all of this?"
"Because I want to."
"Really? Well, thanks anyway."
"WHERE'S MY TV?!"
"I burned all the electronics, too. We're getting those replaced tomorrow, too. You just have to take me to a store, leave, and let me take care of it."
"Okay. Well, is dinner ready yet?"
"Yup." I said, setting down a few plates.
There's chapter 3!
