A/N: Hello loyal readers or people who just started reading my failure of a story and are probably very confused. I'm such a failure at updating, I so did not update in 1-2 weeks… more like 1-3 months. I guess if I make a deadline, I won't meet it. I'm really sorry about that, no excuses. Thanks to all who reviewed or will review in the future. This is the next chapter to Scared of Thunder?
For the sake of all that is good and right, I am now using their names. If you knew who they were before, I will high-five you through the computer, because that means that I am good at writing them, you have good deduction skills, or both. I am NOT going back later to change their names in the chapters before, cause I'm too lazy to do it, but I did fix the format. For those of you who have no idea of who is who here is the list:
Simca- Pink-haired girl/twin/sister
Kilik- Smart-alic
Sora- Friendlier/lighter of the dark-haired twins, the boy infatuated with the sky
Nike- Darkest twin, Hinata's enemy, darker of the dark-haired twins, shadow of the dark-haired twins, more cunning of the dark-haired twins, etc.
Falco- a boy with really long hair, computer wiz/genius, blonde-haired one, blondie
Dontores- another with even longer black hair who had unusually big muscles for his age, muscle-boy-man-person, muscle-rap-boy-person
Black Burn- Pervert who likes wearing a mask
Hinata-An OC, lightning new queen of stupidity (Although it was crossed out...), queen of fools.
Kenji- other OC, King of idiots, bipolar idiot…
Spitfire- flame-head
Rune- blonde haired, expressionless guy that threatened to cut off Hinata's arms
This list has been added to previous chapters since I'm to lazy to change the names. If you still don't know who they are, you need to read the manga or watch the anime…
Disclaimer: Sadly, Ito "Oh Great" Ōgure owns Air Gear. I at least own my OCs, Hinata and Kenji.
Hinata's POV - 3 years later
The tower has finally malfunctioned and Kilik had managed to save some of the children marked as failures by the torturers. " OUT OF THAT PLACE AT LAST! I never thought this day would come!" I screamed, acting like an excited, bubbly, and unusually weird little 8-year old girl, now officially known as Hinata. I found this book on baby - naming in the library, which I frequently visited without the labor of getting caught by guards. I am much better at sneaking there know, since I've done it so many times. I found the name meaning of Hinata meant sun-flower. It was just perfect for me since that's my favorite flower. Except I'm not a baby...
I have blue/green contacts on, which is my second favorite color, but I wanted red contacts or no contacts at all. My brother, sadly, wouldn't allow me to freak people out. I was so close too! The one in my left eye acted as glasses and the other had no effect but to change the outside appearance of my eye. I also had really weird short hair. It starts out light red, bordering blonde, at the top, but as you go down it turns into a dark red. The dark red was instigated by Simca and Kenji. They wanted to dye my hair purple, thank goodness they got the dye's mixed up. The light red is my natural hair color.
As my hair grows longer I'm guessing I'll have to cut my hair and the bottom dark red will disappear forever, unless I dye it again, of which I'm planning to do. I never expected to actually like their prank! I'll have to put in use one of my other 'master' plans to make my brother allow me to do 'such a thing' to my hair as he puts it.
I already have Kenji helping me. Hopefully this plan will actually work. I'm almost infamous for dooming others with my blasted ideas... I'm not exactly the sharpest crayon in the marker box, but I hope that for once my plan works. I made blueprints and everything! Ok, I didn't. It will go into motion in a few days.
Onto another topic, I love candy and chocolate and drinks and junk food and etc. Even if I'm not allowed to have any because I can't control my craving for more when I do, I still manage to sneak a few into my daily schedule. No wonder I'm always so hyper!
That is, until my brother found out why I randomly punched people and watched me closer than ever for a wrapper betraying me, and showing out of the pocket of my sundress. I know it's probably going to backfire on me one day if I ever have to fight, but I love this dress! Plus, I hate AT's anyway, and will never fight with them. That's actually part of my new plan; I will never have to ride these wretched roller skates ever again! Not even my brother can make me.
Speaking of my brother, the name he picked is hilarious. I think he was trying a play with words on the fact he has the flame regalia. His name, Spitfire. Who would name themselves after spit. He is never going to hear the end of it from me… I will make his life a living hell. Not like I don't already do that though.
I mean… I love you brother!
When we got outside and saw the sky, I swear the look on the funnier of the dark-haired twins, now Sora, looked like me in a candy-store. His grin being too big for his face. His twin brother, the jerk, decided his name was Nike, before promptly disappearing, chasing after someone. If I ever see him again… Well, he would wish he were dead by the time I'm done with him. I actually thought he would be a worthy enemy, guess he was always a coward all along. I knew there was a reason I hated him. Well, hate is a strong word, so I'll use extremely disliked instead.
Now his brother on the other hand, he was too peppy, but he was awesome on AT's, especially in the speed department. I thought it was rather funny how Kilik and he were the best of friends, but always ended up squabbling in one way or another. They even got matching tattoos on their backs. Kilik is the smart aleck. he picked an abnormal name in my opinion, but still way better than 'spitfire'. His twin sister, who has grown in the looks department (like she's trying to anger me D: ), is now named Simca. She isn't very bad at her naming skills…
The pervert, Black Burn, is kinda sad. I personally think it's because his son never bothered to see him now that he's out. So far the personalities of this so-called 'second generation' has gone down the drain. Well maybe it isn't all his fault, because I know I could never see Black Burn as a reliable father figure. Just thinking about it makes me cringe in agony. I found his name is Nue. I wonder how Black Burn could pick such a name for him while his name stinks. 'His mother must have named him!' I thought with a grin.
The computer genius has come up with an oh-so-great name on his own, without the book I found. His name is Falco. 'Like a falcon who shreds its preys to pieces.' I compared because of his fang regalia. The muscle-boy-man-person picked a rather interesting name, Dontores.
The bipolar idiot named himself Kenji, meaning intelligent second son. The second son part fits him since he's the second oldest of the gravity children, but the intelligent part I'm not so sure about. Well, his choice, not mine.
I had the sudden urge to try out my darned and hated AT's out on the real sky. I feel like hypocrite. Don't get me wrong, I still hate AT, but I love trying new things, which I found is the opposite of most people. For example, I love finding new ways of torturing, I mean playing, with my brother. I thought about actually riding my AT's, and decided since it's the first time we are outside I would show them a true light show like my regalia suggested. I would also be the first to ride my AT's in the open sky other than Nike, who ran away from my challenge. After this, I will likely never ride AT again... I hope.
I started out running before jumping up in the air. Immediately my regalia was activated, and it began to emit light and sparks brighter than the sun. I used the sun and different lights at different angles as I twisted and turned to reflect off my wheels creating different light effects. Wait! I've never ridden my regalia in front of them, their goes my only secret. Well, at least this way I'm showing them surprises them. I grinned as I saw their mouths open in awe… kinda. They better be happy.
I had to survive extreme training to be able to control my regalia this way, and I was doing pretty well considering they weren't blinded or on fire. See, to create the light I had to travel at extreme speeds, which inadvertently created the a similar effect to the fire regalia. It was only sparks though, but those could catch and cause a fire, so I had to train even more to control that variable. I could see my brother watch me with something akin to being impressed showing through his eyes.
I finished with a big kaboom! No, I didn't use the dynamite in my back pocket, but now that I think about it… All I did was spread out my arms then in a quick movement, I flipped so that my feet were in the air. My hands touched the ground so I was doing a handstand. I spun myself at high-speed before launching off the ground and gradually slowing down, I stopped myself suddenly, causing the regalia to create a huge spark releasing my favorite color of the rainbow, yellow. I flipped in the air once more before landing on the floor with a bow.
"Not bad, sis. Not bad at all," my brother said, patting me on the back.
Kilik then spoke, " +65 points for precision, agility, and speed in performing the trick. -100 for stumbling in the middle, useless movements throughout the 'show', no attack power, and because you struggled in completing the handstand." Of course he noticed my mistakes… Yeah, like the name it is only just a show. My road and regalia isn't really one for attack power. It's more of a defense type. It's built for blinding people, useless precision, and speed; but not nearly as fast as Spitfire.
Falco said, " I still don't understand why you tried so hard to hide your road from us, just to reveal it to us now, Crescent queen of the Light road. That's a fitting name, correct? Thanks for the light show, if I didn't know any better, I would say you were practicing." Of course I was, does he know how long I had to do that with the torturers.
I spoke my thought, " I haven't been practicing...on my own will. What do you think all those times the torturers called me out were for, a game? Also, never call me that again. Oh and thanks for the points Kilik, I've never earned so much in one go. I've also never lost so much. I had 25 points, so that brings me up to -10 , right? Still not the lowest I've had at a point in time. It would be around 500 if you wouldn't minus so many points for all of my mistakes and for my regalia having no attack power and other things…"
The others(Sora, Simca, Kenji, Dontores, Black Burn, Rune, Gabishi, Om, and Nina{The last 3 I just met, as they lived in another part of the tower with Rune and a girl named Gazelle, who I later found was the reason for Nike's cowardness}) were to awe-stricken to say anything.
Ok, I'm kidding, they were playing a game of poker… Without me! And how could they not pay attention to my awesomeness! I feel like a brat. 'An awesome brat that is!' I thought as I skated over their cards and then ran away was quick as I could. Even if I hate the roller skates, I can't help but feel I use them for everything I do. Must get rid of soon...
"Hinata! You are dead!" I heard most of them shout simultaneously. Only my brother can catch me, good luck! "Run, run, as fast as you can, you'll never catch me, I'm Hina-" I was cut off by Rune lifting me up by my collar. Oh, I forgot about him and his creepy tools…
"Hey, uncle! I'm sorry, please don't kill me!" I cried. The only one I'm truly scared of. Also kind of ironic that I call him uncle, as I found a game where you beat up a person until they say uncle. That'd be the day...
"That is not a way to use AT's. Don't do it again, there is paper stuck in your wheels." he said as he put me down and I sweatdropped. Suddenly, I sensed killing intent. I'm too young and awesome to die! I turned to face angry poker players. I guess they are not good at keeping on their poker faces.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as they tied me up, dug a hole, and placed me in it, the only thing showing is my head. I watched in disdain as they took turns putting make-up on my face. "Someone help!" I screamed. Then, Simca came up with a pot filled with a liquid. I'm getting bad vibes from her. "Let's water the sunflower, it seems to be getting dry." she says. "NO! I'M NOT A SUNFLOWER, EVEN IF THAT'S WHAT MY NAME MEANS! DON'T DO IT! I'LL HURT YOU! PLEASE! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I scream as she pours the water on me. Now I'm soaking wet. At least its only my head that's wet. Finally, when Gabishi was about to take my face, Nina stepped in and pulled me out in one swoop.
"Thanks." I said to her and hugged her, my head reaching her stomach. I took my AT's from Rune, who took them off before they were messed up from being in the dirt and carried them as we just lay there under the sun, me with my muddy clothes on. Ah, good times...
6 months later
So far, we have been staying in an apartment paid for by Dr. Minami. Everyone was standing in front of Kilik, who was explaining his idea to create a team called Sleeping Forest to protect the sky regalia from new riders. I, for one, would not join. It would interfere with me never riding AT again. I was already popular in the AT world as the Crescent Queen of the Light road(stupid Falco), I didn't need to be even more known by joining an all-powerful air treck team.
On the other hand, my brother joined along with Falco, Sora, Black Burn, and Dontores. Two girls named Ine and Rika were there and also joined. Rika was yet another subject Kilik and Sora fought over. Kenji would have joined if I didn't blackmail, Ahem, convince him. Now was the time to hit my brother with my plan. When my brother is happy with being on a team and all.
" I decline. As you all know, I don't really like to ride. I've talked to the idio- Kenji and since he's now 18, he is considered a mature young adult. He has agreed to go with me to travel to America. There I can study without the annoyance of new no-talent riders and make friends. We could also tone down the amount of people going to the tower shall the information on the sky regalia ever reaches America. Kenji can also go to college. It will all be payed for by the oh-so-loved Dr. Minami cause he's agreed." I said in one breath.
I will never have to ride AT, and my brother can't stop me from dying my hair and getting new red contacts if i'm all the way across the world.
My brother's jaw hit the floor. Before he could say anything, Kilik said alright. "Bye, bro!" I said, before running away on my AT's pulling Kenji with me. All we had to do was hide from my brother until the plane is scheduled to blast off. "HINATA!" I heard him scream after me, only encouraging me to go faster. He may be way faster, but we have a head start, and Ine had agreed to hold him off for a while. I win this round. Now to win the war...
5 Days later
I have successfully avoided my brother for five days. I'm at the airport with Kenji. I never knew that we all had passports hidden away in some secret vault I would never have found without being told the location. I will not visit for another few years to give him time to cool off some steam and because I like sightseeing. I mean, he'll probably kill me if I come back, but I am immortal, too bad for him, since I survived lightning. I don't care if I can technically still die, because I'm pretty sure I can beat the odds. Maybe I have a bit too much courage… and I might have just jinxed myself... Oh well.
What I didn't expect was a pissed off Spitfire kicking me as I walked with Kenji towards the place where they scan you for illegal stuff. I could still take my AT's, unfortunately. How is that not counted as a weapon! Back to the matter at hand, I fell onto the floor, landing on my face. I got up and opened my mouth to scream at my brother for his rudeness… when I remembered mine.
Before I could close my mouth, as I looked like a gaping fish, my brother pulled me into a hug. Contrary to popular belief, I like hugs, just not from Kenji, or Kilik, or Nike, or Simca, or Black Burn, or anyone for that matter. Ok… so I hate hugs, except when it's from my brother. I have yet to meet an exception. I feel my brother letting go after a few minutes, but I held on tight. Maybe I shouldn't go to America.
What if I can't make any friends? Or if there's AT there and I get roped into riding? or if there's a thunder-storm and my brother isn't there to calm me down? or if my plane crashes into the ocean? Or if Kenji fails in school and becomes a hobo? Or what if our apartments that Dr. Minami's paying for burns down? There are so many possibilities, but I've already decided, and when I decide something, I stick with that decision. But even so, leaving my only family… I realized with a start that I was scared. Idiot! I set this up, I shouldn't be scared.
I knew I was crying. Why do my plans like to backfire! I'm not even gone yet and I already miss my brother. Like the old proverb says, home is where the family is. I had to strengthen my resolve. I was already enrolled in a school in Stanford, California. I was going to start the 3rd grade at a local elementary school. That's also how I got Kenji to agree. He took an entrance exam, SAT, GRE, and other things, and got accepted into Stanford Medical School! He always has had an interest in medicine and researching stuff. I shouldn't really call him an idiot so often… He did get a really high score on the entrance exam.
I was reluctant to let go of my brother and inadvertently reveal to him how much I'll actually miss him when he sees my tears. I eventually looked up. Deciding to swallow my pride, I said four words sincerely, words I've barely ever spoken, " I love you, brother." He looked taken aback with my expression. He then slowly reached out his hand and affectionately ruffled my hair saying, "I love you too." I smiled up at him before giving him one more tight squeeze and then letting go. "I do not have a brother complex, I do not have a brother complex, I do not have a brother complex!" I repeated inside my head as I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the tears. I've seen some with brother complexes… not pretty.
"Hey don't mess with my hair, do you know how long it takes to brush in the morning. I swear…" I started, before I heard laughter and "awww's" around me, breaking me out of my reverie. I looked around and saw everyone I was close to arrived to see me off, even Dontores! How embarrassing, letting them see me act like a child, even if I am one! I couldn't help the red glow to my cheeks as I turned away."Bye!" Kenji and I said with a hand wave, as it was finally our turn in line.
In the plane, I never thought I would have any problems riding on it, as I always fly with my motorized skates, but as I looked down, I wanted to barf. I OFFICIALLY HATE PLANES! We're so high up, what if we fall? I can't trust the pilot as much as I trust myself, which isn't a lot actually... I graciously let an intrigued Kenji take the window seat. Putting my head on my lap to sleep, hoping I could just doze through this experience. How lovely…
An hour later
I had a killer headache and had barely slept. We were also nowhere near our destination. Ugh, and the food they just served. Don't even get me started. The TV wouldn't be so bad, if I could actually concentrate enough to use it. My ears were closed up from being at such a high altitude. I didn't have this problem with AT… The only thing that doesn't give me a headache when I think about it is my plans. Probably because they'll create headaches later on.
So, I go over my plan. Once we get there, Dr. Minami will show us Stanford, my elementary school, the grocery store, Kenji's and my new apartment, and other things. Kenji will immediately begin classes while I'll have a few days to gather my needed school materials. During this time, I'll re-dye my hair at the bottom as its starting to fade. I'll also cut it. Spitfire always used to cut my hair for me… No! no getting sad. Next, I'll get my vision checked and order red contacts. How much fun I'll have with that! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hide my dynamite within my sundress.
My yellow sundress is pretty weird, with pockets on the front and back, but you wouldn't notice unless pointed out. Dr. Minami told me we couldn't take anything dangerous on board the airplane, so he's having my dynamite, knives, swords, and other valuables and transporting them using a ship owned by him. Once I get the dynamite, well it'll be great when I'm older and people try to mess with me, and I won't have to use my AT's!
Now, Kenji asked why a little elementary school kid had such things, and if I even knew how to use them, and if I didn't, that he'd teach me. "No, I don't know how to use them! Are you crazy, I'm only 8 years old! The dynamite is… well I know how to use that. It's what I use to make up for the fact my AT, even with the regalia, has no attack power. The others… you don't need to know," I said, not telling him why I had swords, knives, chainsaws, and matches.
It would be embarrassing to tell him I only owned such things so I could rent/sell them to people for money. How else am I going to feed my addiction for sweets. But now that Minami is paying for everything, i can use the money to save up. He can't support us forever. I'm only planning to stay in America for an around 6 years. What a long time!
Finally, after more aggravatingly long hours, Kenji let the subject go and I finally fell asleep.
A/N: Dandoon is sorry for the lame and very short chapter(and for writing in 3rd person just now). I have to go back and reread the manga to refresh my memories, so I'm probably going to take another horribly long time. Please forgive my horribleness. Good news is, Hinata will be meeting Nue in the next chapter! Look forward to it. As that's been said enjoy my apology… Dr. Minami showing them around town. Next chapter... Hinata's first day in prison, I mean school.
Omniscient POV
As the planes landed, inside one specific plane a girl about to experience jet lag, was woken by a boy with unruly brown hair. Kenji, the boy, had over time on the plane, became bored with looking at the sights outside the window like going through clouds or city lights. The food was enough to appease him though, and the shows on the TV were absolutely impeccable. He was neutral to the idea of leaving the plane, not caring to stay or leave, but he knew the girl wanted to leave as soon as she could.
Unlike what his friends believed, the boy almost chose to act stupid, when in actuality he was really very observant. What his friends called him in "serious mode" was actually him not wanting to act stupid for a while. Those moments were small though, as it was much easier to control people if they thought he wasn't brilliant. He immediately noticed that Hinata wasn't one for planes.
He knew she would want to leave as soon as possible. He woke her up as the plane landed, and they were getting ready to leave. As they left the airplane, they had to get on a stuffy bus. There was a lady, who kept throwing up in the bathroom. It made the bus smell not so great. As they finally got off the bus, they met up with Dr. Minami.
First, he showed them the apartments. The apartments were close to next door to each other. Each had one room, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The closets had yet to be filled, as most of the luggage was on the private boat. Why they just didn't they just go on the boat? Kenji has serious problems with ships, the sea, and vomiting.
After that, he showed them where the schools are located and showing Kenji all his classes. What a wonderful time he'll have… He showed Hinata her soon to be elementary school and its playground. "The playground was awesome" Hinata thought. It had two monkey bars, a small bridge, eight slides, a small climbing wall, little tunnels, things to balance on, and other things. I can't wait to try this playground out. He showed us the nearest convenience stores, and other parks. There was a small lake a few minutes away from our house. There was even a candy store! Of course, i'll be visiting there soon…
"Don't let anyone see you use Air Treks, as they have not spread to here. I suspect once they do, the police will be all good to capturing them as criminals. I won't bail you, so don't get caught." Dr. Minami told the two listening kids. He would soon be leaving to who knows where.
He knew the two kids probably wouldn't be caught. Heck, one hated riding in the first place. He knew though that even though she hated it, she rode anyway and wouldn't, no couldn't, seem to stop. This was not the sole reason, but certainly an important factor, of why he agreed with Hinata on her living in America and payed for it. It would help see if a first generation gravity child would ride AT in a different environment.
Also, Kenji was a rather… interesting kid, with him never really showing his true potential in AT, with his regalia be taken and all. He didn't order that, but he just let it play out as it was an amusing turn of events. He also had a feeling that the kid had a knack for being observing, and he was one of the smartest Dr. Minami Rinta saw. That's why he pulled some strings, and allowed him to take the entrance exam. Kenji could certainly help him in the upcoming storm.
Minami also wanted to know how a first generation and second generation gravity children would react if brought together. He knew it would be a sight to see and also create problems, but there was always hurdles to overcome in the experiments, Dr. Minami knew that there would be many more opportunities for the first generation, who generally hated riding, and the second generation, who yearned to fly, to react here in America and in Japan.
"It was too bad," the scientist thought, "that Gazelle, my greatest masterpiece, who was a brain charger as well as a first generation gravity child, was killed by Nike and Sora." He hoped to finally witness a human who could fly without getting shot down, hence agreeing to take them to America and support them there. Plus, it would be easier to hide their identities of riders here, where ATs were unheard of, then Japan, were Air treks and AT stores were already beginning to open.
This was also how he knew that the general public would not like the idea of ATs, since people were already beginning to be arrested. He just hoped things would work out. Especially with the boy he had given to Rika. Itsuki, he believed his name was.
Dr. Minami soon returned the two to their apartment complex and bid them farewell. Immediately, the two ran into their apartments and explored. They didn't have time to explore every nick and cranny before, as Dr. Minami had ushered them out and showed them the city, as he had a planned time to leave.
Kenji noticed that during the hours they were out, the ship had arrived and their belongings were placed in their living rooms. Hinata, being the child she is, had found out from Dr. Minami when the boxes would arrive. She had called a movers company and had them, on Minami's permission, unpack her things and put them in the numerous closets and to fill the kitchen and restroom with needed supplies. This cost a pretty penny, more than one might expect. Especially since she did the same for Kenji.
She noticed that on her bed, and probably also on Kenji's, sat a uniform. "Great!" she thought sarcastically, " A uniform! I would rather have SSA(standard school attire). This stinks."
In each of their kitchen's were numerous food items like cereal, nutella("YES!" screamed Hinata.), fruits, vegetables("UGH!" shouted Kenji), noodles, chicken, hot dogs, cheese, bread, rice, milk, cola, water, beans, juice, and other supplies. There was enough to last for a month so a trip to the convenience store wouldn't be needed for a while.
There was also a small TV and a computer hooked up to a printer in each of the apartments. "I didn't know he would buy that," thought Kenji and Hinata simultaneously.
"Time for walmart!" Hinata thought, since she needed to but my school supplies. The haircut place could wait until tomorrow and she needed an appointment for an eye exam, which Minami set up for the day after tomorrow at 12 P.M. The girl couldn't wait to tell them she wanted red contacts. How they let her, a child, use contacts in the first place was beyond her, but whatever. Since it was around 6:00 P.M., she deemed it safe enough to go without Kenji. The girl set out to find walmart, as her memory wasn't so good, but she knew the general direction.
After 30 minutes, she arrived with a list in hand of the needed school supplies, printed from the computer and printer in her room from her school website. She set out on collecting folders, pencils, paper, and other listed items. She knew she would probably be the only kid without anyone to bring her to her class on the first day of school. Kenji couldn't do it as he had classes, and Minami already left to Japan.
As she walked down the aisles, she again thought of her older brother. "If he were here, he would take me," she thought sadly. This was going to be a long stay in America since she was already feeling homesick.
Hinata found many people glance at her curiously. They didn't usually see serious-looking eight-year olds looking around with a list in hand. It was rather quite how her eyes scrunched up whenever she couldn't find something and how she tried to make herself look like an adult. They wondered where her parents/guardian were, and how they let a child walk around alone. They soon dismissed these thoughts though, as they were also doing last-minute shopping for school supplies for their children.
One woman, took pity on the young girl, and started a conversation with her. Hinata, being very cautious, said her parents were outside and gave her a credit card to pay with. The woman helped her find the items she couldn't find and helped her buy them at self-checkout. Hinata payed with the credit card he gave Kenji and her. They each were given one, which had monthly fees put in. The cards had more money put on initially because they had to buy the school supplies.
The nice lady, as Hinata called her, offered to help her carry the bags, but the small girl told her it was fine and let her go on her way to what she needed to get at walmart. Hinata then went on to walk home. She didn't face any problems on the way home, no bags tore, and no thugs attacked her.
It took her 30 minutes to reach home. When she go there, she met a hysterical Kenji, who had freaked out when she suddenly 'disappeared'. "Why did you go without telling me. Next time, tell me and I'll go with you. Do you know what your brother would do to me if you were harmed. That reminds me, what if you were kidnapped or attacked. I would have no idea where you were. From now on, I'm considered your guardian, so you must listen to me." he chastised.
Kenji, when angry and scolding someone, didn't scream and turn red like most adults. It was worse in a way. His voice was eerily calm with an undertone that said if you did it again, the consequences wouldn't be worth it. His eyes glinted with anger. It was one of the scariest displays Hinata had ever seen Kenji do. She promised herself she would never make him this furious ever again.
As he finally released her from his apartment, he had made her take a timeout(oh, how she hated those), she was dead tired. she went straight to her bed and fell asleep, almost forgetting to set her alarm clock. In a few days, her school would start, and tomorrow, she would get a haircut and highlights, along with going to her eye exam. Of course, this time she would tell Kenji. The king of idiots could be scary, who knew...
