I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR TWILIGHT!!! OR ANY OF THE SONGS!!! BTW, THEY STILL HAVE A WEEK OF SCHOOL LEFT IN MY STORY D JACOB DIDN'T RUN AWAY!!!
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a very familiar place. I was back home. In Konoha. But the thing is, the sun is shining brightly, and there's no one in sight. What happened? Every building is still in shape, every stand is still in place. Where is everybody?
"Hello?" I called out, the sound echoing through the area. "Hello?" I called out again. Then I heard someone chuckle. I reached for my kunai, but it wasn't there. I tried to use a technique that can hide me, but it won't work. I growled, someone trapped me in their genjutsu!
"Come out already, bastard!" I shouted, but no one appeared. I heard the same, unfamiliar chuckle sound around the area. "I don't fight chickens off." I said, to no one particularly. Then I saw something, no, someone familiar, leaning on the edge of this bridge casually, making me collapse on my knees. He picked me up before my knees could reach the ground. I looked at his face again, not believing my eyes.
"You're supposed to be dead," I whispered. He chuckled.
"Yes, I am dead, but I had to talk to you somehow." he told me, smiling. I hugged him as tight as I could, fearing he'd disappear. "I'm sorry I was never able to meet you in person. Please, forgive me." he begged me as he hugged me back. I felt something wet land on my hair-his tears.
"It wasn't your fault. It wasn't exactly a time of peace and harmony, it couldn't be helped." I sobbed. "Besides, I'm happy that I was able to talk to you at least once, Dad." I told him as I smiled. Then I frowned. "This isn't someone else's genjutsu being used on me, is it?" he laughed.
"It was hard to contact you from the spirit world, but I did it. I'm just visiting your dreams." he said as he let go of me. I looked at him, comparing our features. It seems that most of my features, as well as personality, come from him. But I don't get one thing.
"Why do I have the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan?" I asked him. He sighed.
"My father-your grandfather-married my mother, but for some reason, my mom's Byakugan skipped me and went to you. And I'm glad it did, or else you would be with me in the spirit world." he explained. I nodded understandingly. "So, how's your mother?" he asked casually, smiling lovingly. I smiled as well at the memories of my mom.
"Oh, you know. Just as aggressive as ever." I laughed. He laughed with me. My mom is not exactly who you'd predict to be a mom. She is the only ninja exempted from being forced to quit being a ninja because they gave birth to a baby. Then he sighed.
"I miss her so much, you know." he sighed, almost as if he was going to cry.
"Why not visit her in the spirit world?" I asked him. Then he smiled again.
"Because I needed to talk to you." he answered.
"About?" I asked.
"Edward." he said, making my stomach lurch in nervousness and fear.
"W-what about him?" I asked, trying to make it sound as casual as I can. I looked away from him out of the same insecurities.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm so proud of you for choosing such wonderful man. Even if he left you for a few months," I flinched at that. "he was just doing it to protect you. And look at you now, getting married into their coven in a month!" he remarked. I giggled slightly.
"You make yourself sound like my grandfather instead of my father." I told him, still giggling,which abruptly stopped when I processed what he had just said. I paled, even more than my normal skin color. "H-h-how do you know about Edward?" I asked him shakily. He smiled at me.
"The spirit world allows me to watch over you and see what you're doing. And I realized that you've inherited my slyness." he grinned amusedly. I got the explanation, but what did he mean by the last part?
"What do you mean, I inherited your slyness?" I asked him. He laughed before telling me.
"You're so desperate about touching Edward that you've made him take "practices" with you." he quoted. I blushed. He knew about that, too?!
"You watch those?!" I asked him, appalled. "Aren't dads supposed to prohibit their daughters from dating or having "practices"?" I asked him. He chuckled slightly.
"For the first question, no. I don't stay long enough to watch the show." I blushed, but felt relieved. "For the second question, hunny, from the moment I saw the chemistry between you two, I knew I couldn't do anything about it anymore. I knew I had to let go of you and accept you as an adult who makes the right choices." he told me, engulfing me in a hug in the middle of his speech. When I heard that, I cried tears of joy. He visited my dreams to tell me all of this. He let go of me, holding my shoulders within arms length, my tears stopping.
"It's too bad that you won't be able to walk me down the aisle." I said sadly. He smiled at me again.
"Your uncle Charlie will know what to do." he said, a secretive undertone.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked him suspiciously.
"It's a secret between me and him." he winked. "Also, I think Edward has a right to know." he told me, totally changing the subject. I felt that familiar guilt wash over me.
"I know he has, but I just don't know how he'll take it." I murmured. He sighed, not giving up.
"Well, how will you know until you try?" he asked me.
"I just don't want to lose him, okay!" I waved my arms in the air. "And telling him is really none of your business, so butt out of it already!" I told him angrily, instantly regretting my actions when I saw his offended face. "Look, I'm just really...insecure about telling him. I don't want to lose him. I doubt that there are other guys as perfect as him." I amended.
"It's okay, and you were right. It was none of my business. I just rather that you tell him instead of him finding out." he explained, that familiar smile returning to his face.
"That's what everyone else tells me, too." I muttered. He chuckled. Then everything started shaking and Dad was fading. "What's happening?!" I panicked, though he kept smiling at me. Everything was sinking but dad and I stayed in the same height.
"You're being woken up." he said before everything disappeared, including him, making me scream. Then my eyes opened and I saw everyone around me, looking at me weirdly. I just glared at them, which got them terrified in an instant.
"Did you know what you just do?!" I screamed at them.
"Jeez, we were just trying to wake you up. You are so troublesome." Shikamaru said, sighing.
"Yeah, you were already screaming." Naruto rubbed his ears. I sighed.
"Alright, what did you want?" I asked them impatiently, making them see that I'm pissed at them.
"Your phone kept ringing. I think it was that Edward guy calling." Kiba smirked. I blushed, my anger wavering.
"You didn't pick it up, did you?!" I panicked. They shook their heads, relieving me. "Well, I'll call him back later. Why don't we eat something already?" I offered as they nodded their heads.
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me.
Tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes.
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs a finger through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong.
And I don't think it eve-
I picked up my phone, knowing it was Edward. I walked in front of everyone as I talked in my "clumsy Bella" voice.
"Aren't you supposed to be hiking?" I asked teasingly.
"Nice way to say hello." he answered sarcastically. "Anyways, yes, but I wanted to talk to you. I had to get away from Emmett or else Alice would kill me for getting my shirt ruined." By now, I was going down to get some breakfast.
"Ah, the pixie strikes again." I chuckled. I didn't bother on looking at the living room as I got to the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes at his note and took out some cereal and milk. I heard Edward talking to Alice.
"She says she wants to take you to shopping in Paris a week before our wedding for complimenting her." I thrilled when he said "our wedding", but grimaced at the subject of his sentence.
"I can't believe you told her that." I groaned. He chuckled as I took out some milk. Everyone else took out their own bowls as they poured food in it.
"Speaking of Alice, Is it true that you get to stay at our house for the week?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah. Charlie's leaving for some convention thing. He said he doesn't want me to be alone." I said as I took the first bite of my cereal as everyone else stayed silent.
"Are you eating cereal?" he asked in a way that made me confused.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"I thought you didn't like having cereal late in the afternoon?" he asked confusedly.
"Afternoon, what do yo-" I stopped myself when I saw the clock. "Oh, I guess it is afternoon." I could sense Edward's confusion over the phone. "Well, I thought about watching a horror movie on my own. I couldn't really sleep last night, so I slept at around 5 am already. I thought I only got two hours of sleep, but I guess not." I said. Well, that wasn't a complete lie. He sighed.
"That's why I don't like it when you watch horror movies without me." he said teasingly.
"Yeah, because you're my knight in shining armor." I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. He chuckled.
"Oh yeah, we're coming home earlier than expected, around tonight. An emergency came up, but I'll be picking up your remaining things later, okay?" he asked as I made myself something to drink.
"Sure, but what do you mean by emergency?" I asked him.
"The wolves saw something. The guy wasn't a vampire, but something else. They need our help in case he comes back with back up." he explained. I controlled my heart, in case he heard it. They won't let Neji go, but I'll make sure that they won't find out about us. I looked at Neji with dread, making him confused.
"Oh, okay. Can I come with you to the meeting?" I asked. He was silent for a while, probably contemplating it as I took a sip of water. Then, finally, he sighed.
"I guess you can. You're a part of our family and they want everyone to come." he said.
"Oi, Bella-san, do you have some instant ramen?" Naruto asked. I glared at him, I'm pretty sure that Edward heard him.
"Hold on, Edward." I covered the mouth piece before he can reply. "No, I don't. If you want ramen, I'll buy some later." I said, making his face bright up. Then I put the phone back to my ear. "Sorry about that, Edward." I apologized. I saw Sasuke hit him on the head.
"Ow, Hinata, hit him back." Naruto complained.
"S-sas-suke-san, p-please stop hit-ting N-naruto-kun." she said as I glared at everyone.
"Is someone with you?" Edward asked. I panicked.
"Uh," I looked for a possible explanation. "Well, some of my cousins came over to Forks to visit me." I told him smoothly. If anything, I was the best liar in Konoha.
"Oh, then I guess you won't be able to come to our house for the week?" he asked and I heard Alice shriek. I heard a rustling noise.
"What? I so didn't see that one coming." Alice said, I guess she stole the phone from Edward.
"Chill, Alice. They're leaving today, so I'll be able to go." Then something occurred to me, though I'll ask about it later. I heard her sigh in relief.
"Well, that's good. Here's Edward." she said as I heard the phone being handed back to him, but I heard a "small but terrible" from Edward, making Alice laugh.
"What time are your relatives leaving? Maybe we'll get to meet them?" Edward asked. Shit, I hope not.
"They'll probably be gone by the time you guys arrive." I said casually. "Well, I shouldn't keep you from your food. I'll see you tonight."
"Yeah. I love you." he told me. I can feel his smile coming from the phone.
"I love you, too." I told him genuinely, grinning. Everyone looked shocked to see this side of me. I can't blame them, I never did have a crush on anyone in Konoha. I heard the busy tone, letting me know that he'd hung up, and put my phone in my pocket.
"So, why are you guys still here, anyways?" I asked.
"They had to pick someone up in the Sand Village. They're going to arrive in an hour or so." Neji explained. I finished my cereal and stood up.
"Naruto, do you still want ramen?" I asked him.
"Nah, I'm full." he patted his stomach. I sighed and went to the living room, which wasn't as much of a mess as I expected. I picked up the scattered equipment and fixed the ruffled sheets and pillows. Other than that, everything was okay. Everyone went to the living room and took their stuff.
"Alright, I'm going to take a bath." I told them as I made my way upstairs.
"Hey, wanna sneak up on her?" I heard Kiba whisper.
"Do that, and I'll be pounding you to hell." I looked at him, leaning on the stair rail. He audibly gulped and I smirked as I continued my way upstairs. I opened the door to the bathroom and stepped inside the shower. Once I was done, I wrapped a towel around myself and saw that Neji and Shikamaru are standing on top of the stairs, trying to stop the blood flow from their noses. I emitted an evil aura around me.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked them evilly. They shook in fear.
"W-we were j-just g-going to g-get something th-that Neji f-forgot i-in you-r r-room." Shikamaru stuttered in fear. I punched them down the stairs and walked to my room. I picked out a pair of black jeans that end below my knees and a plain blue shirt, leaving my earlier clothes there. I walked downstairs and saw that Hinata was trying to wipe their blood with tissues, Sasuke was just sitting on the couch, not caring, Kiba and Akamaru just watched them and Naruto was laughing at them. I sighed, preparing to heal them.
"Hinata, you can stop now." I told her as she made way for me to heal them. I may have a bit of a temper, but I fix my damages afterwards, unless I don't want to. My hands glowed green and I put it on each of them. After a few seconds, their cuts started to disappear and their bruises faded. I clapped my hands, as if dusting it from dirt.
"That'll teach you to snoop around." I told them as I heard a whirring sound.
"That's the jet." Sasuke stood up and made his way out.
"Alright then." I said as I lead them to the door. They jumped to the dangling ladder. "Hinata," she stopped and looked at me. "Remember your promise." I told her. She smiled at me and nodded. When the jet was out of sight, I went back inside and changed into "clumsy Bella". I activated a technique, making all of the traces of everyone's scent disappear. I went to my room and made sure that everything that I needed was all packed up. I went back to the secret basement and locked up everything. When I went up, it looked as if it was just a normal weekend for me in Forks. A little bit later, I heard the doorbell ring. I opened it to reveal Edward, smiling my favorite smile at me, making me blush. I took his hand as we went inside, towards my room.
"Hello, love. How was the weekend with your relatives?" he asked me. I controlled my heartbeat to prevent him from figuring out that I'm panicking.
"Well, my cousins are the same as the last time I saw them, in a good way, though." I said smoothly. By now, we've already reached my bedroom. I went over and sat on the box and saw that Edward was holding something up. Shit!
"This is a very...interesting piece of clothing, love." he commented.
"Um," I tried to think of something. "My cousin gave it to me. I didn't want to offend her, so I wore it for the day. It was a good thing she didn't make us go outside." I laughed, trying to prevent the hysteria rising. He nodded understandingly.
"If she and Alice were to meet, I'm sure they'd get along quite nicely." he commented. I nodded. I'm sure I'd be beyond exhausted right now if she saw my real wardrobe. I took my clothes from him and put them on the bed.
"When's the meeting with the pack, anyways?" I asked him.
"Tonight. In an hour or so." he said as he easily picked up the box and went downstairs.
"Tonight? At least I've had plenty of rest." I said and I heard him chuckle as I put my rubber shoes on.
"Yeah. Don't worry, we won't be watching any scary movies tonight." he teased me as he put the box on top of the car and tied it securely in vampire speed. He returned to my side and opened the car door for me.
"Wait, I forgot something." I told him. He looked at me curiously.
"What would that be, love?" he asked. Dad was right, I did inherit his slyness. I wonder what he used his slyness on whenever he's with mom. Ew! Mental shudder, though I didn't let Edward see that.
"This," I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around him as I connected our lips. I can smell his familiar scent as I breathed through my nose. I heard the door to his Volvo shut as he placed his palms against it. Our lips moved in sync and it was getting hotter and hotter each second. He was tracing my curves with his hands while I roamed his back. As I tried to place my tongue in his mouth, he pried himself away.
"Not yet, love." I pouted. He chuckled as he opened the door for me. I went inside and put on my seatbelt. He went to the driver's seat and started the engine as we made our way towards the familiar road towards his house. He held my hand securely in his as he looked into my eyes the whole drive. This is one of the reasons I don't want to tell him anything. When I tell him, he'll probably stop looking at me like this. I hid every trace of longing in my eyes and my face when suddenly, I heard him growl. I got worried.
"What is it?" I asked him, reaching out to touch his face. He leaned into my touch but suddenly, he growled again. "Edward, stop growling and tell me what's wrong." I demanded as I retreated my hand. He looked at me with slightly embarrassed eyes.
"Do you still want to go to the house? We could kill the one hour at the meadow." he said, trying to divert my attention.
"What? No, we'll go to your house." he sighed.
"You asked for it." he said as we parked the car in front of the house. He opened my door for me and we made our way to the door. Before I could open it, Alice yanked it open and hugged me.
"Oh my god, you guys are so sweet! I wish Jazz and I were like that, too." she squealed, looking pointedly at Jasper. Then I heard Emmett laughing. I looked at Edward confusedly, who just looked at me apologetically then glared at Emmett and Alice.
"Yeah, so sweet that it makes me barf. Why do you think I show Rose my love for her physically every time?" he asked, getting a smack from rosalie with the magazine she was just reading.
"And sometimes I wish you'd be a bit more chivalrous." she retorted, making Emmett grimace. Just now, Esme came out of the kitchen.
"Now, now, don't tease them. And stop invading their private life." she chided as she turned to me. "I'm sorry about that, Bella, dear. How about some dinner?" she offered. I nodded. I followed her into the kitchen and saw that she'd prepared a medium-rare steak.
"Mmm, looks ravishing." I told her as I sat on the table and started to eat while Esme excused herself to tend to the plants on the front yard.
"I'm sorry about the scene earlier." Edward said, coming from the doorway. "Alice saw us together from the moment I was at your doorstep until we arrived here. She couldn't help but shout what happened to the whole world." Edward explained. I blushed but continued to eat my food. Wait, if she saw everything from when Edward was at the doorway, then...
"Edward, did Alice see the clothes?" I asked hesitantly. He looked away from me. If he were human, he'd be rivaling my blush right now.
"Yes, I did, Bella! Can I meet this cousin of yours that gave you the clothes?" Alice exclaimed, coming from the living room, making me spit the water I was drinking. Edward was at my side in an instant, glaring at Alice.
"Actually," I said when I was done choking. "They left a few hours ago. Their phone numbers aren't with me either. They actually surprised me with that visit." I said, cutting off all possible questions that would come from her. She pouted.
"Fine, but after eating, go to my room. Immediately." she emphasized the last part then disappeared before I could reply. I turned to Edward, giving him a look of begging. He smiled crookedly at me.
"How about we just go to our meadow after eating?" he offered. I nodded. Alice appeared again in an instant and pulled at Edward's ear.
"Oh, no you don't, Mr. I-make-Bella-faint-just-by-smiling-at-her! I got to play with Bella first. She already agreed, right, Bella?" she pulled a face at me. I tried to resist her by looking away, but she just kept appearing everywhere I look.
"Um, but Edward..." her face was even more devastating. Damn, stupid pixie! "I guess we could go to the meadow after I'm done with Alice." I gave in and she squealed. Edward gave me an exasperated look and I just pointed at Alice, who went back to her room. I went to him and rubbed his ear. "Does it still hurt?" I asked him. He nodded his head, though his eyes held mischief. I finished my last slice of steak and drank some water. Then I went to him and kissed his ear.
"Is there anything else that hurts?" I asked him. He nodded and pointed to his lips. I guess I'm not the only sly one. I closed my eyes. Just as our lips were about to connect, I felt someone tearing us apart. I looked at the intruder-Alice.
"Bella," she whined. "Come to my room, now!" she carried me with me on her shoulders. I saw that Edward was pressing his lips together, though amusement was written all over his face. I wouldn't blame him. It was just like a kid carrying her mom on her shoulder. When we reached her room, I saw pure hell. There were a lot of outfits, make-up, jewelry and the most damned thing in this room-stilettos.
"Alice," I whined. "Are all of these supposed to be for me? Aren't we supposed to go to the meeting with the wolves in a bit?" I asked.
"Oh, hush. I'll be quick. It'll be quicker if you stayed sti-" she suddenly had a blank look on her face-she's having a vision. The blankness was suddenly replaced by confusion and disbelief.
"What is it, Alice?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"It's nothing." I didn't believe her.
"Ally, I know something's up. Tell me. I can keep a secret, y'know." I told her. Of course I can keep a secret, I've been keeping one from them ever since we met. She looked at me for a while, contemplating, then sighed as her face became completely serious but still held the same confusion and disbelief.
"It's just that, I've been having these weird visions about a girl." she said.
"What girl?" I asked her, hoping that it wasn't me.
"A girl with silver-ish hair, she's pretty hot, but there's something off about her. "she explained. Shit! It's about me! "She also had eyes, silver, too, but from time to time, some kind of veins appear beside her head." she added. That's definitely me! I'm so dead meat! I controlled my heartbeat as to not let her know that I'm on the verge of running away and starting a new life.
"Y-yeah, that is weird." I commented.
"And the weirdest thing was, she kept on doing these...extraordinary things, like make a huge butterfly appear and riding it." she added again. "I'll ask Carlisle about that later. Right now, I'm going to change your appearance." she went back to her bubbly self.
"But who are we going to dress up for? We're going to a meeting with the wolves!" I said, exasperated. She shrugged, but before she could touch me, I heard someone knock. Thank god!
"Alice, Bella, we need to go already!" Jasper hollered from outside the door.
"Alright." I shouted from the door, smiling in relief. Alice got a bit ticked, but went out nonetheless. I followed her outside the door and saw that Edward was waiting for me. Shit! He heard everything, didn't he?! When he saw me, he went to me and engulfed me in a hug. I was still in a bit of shock, then Edward asked,
"What's wrong, love?" Jasper looked at me strangely. I'm guessing he told him my emotions mentally. I shook my head.
"It's nothing." I said, then in a more cheerful tone, I added, "So, are we ready to go?" They nodded. We went out and I saw that Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett are standing by the Jeep.
"Good evening, Bella." Carlisle greeted me politely. "Now, everyone, the wolves are coming here in a few minutes. Be on your best behavior and don't say anything that will anger them. We need to know about the thing that went in the wolves' territory so that we know what precautions we'd need to take." he explained. Wow, they didn't consider Neji as a human? We all nodded. After a few minutes, we heard a rustling noise in the trees.
"It's not the wolves." Edward growled.
