Opposites Attract
Chapter Four
(No title was given.)
It's been a while since I last updated. It's time for me to work on it. I want to finish the story soon, because I have more ideas for the sequel than I do for the story it's self.
Disclaimer is in my profile.
"Speaking"
'Thinking'
With her hands in her pockets, Hitomi browsed the shops that were scattered about the village.
"Wow. Lot's of stuff. To bad I can't buy anything…" she muttered, trying to find a way to keep herself amused.
"Well why not?" A voice said.
'Great... Ino...'
Hitomi shrugged.
"I don't have any money."
"So you're poor?" Ino said, putting her hands on her hips. Hitomi's right eye began to twitch.
"No."
"Then you forgot your money at home?" More twitching.
"No."
"So you lied?" Hitomi felt like slapping her.
"No."
"So you are poor." It wasn't a question. She began to twitch again.
"No. I'm walking away now." As Hitomi continued, Ino spoke again.
"I could give you a makeover! My treat! You… well you could really use one."
Hitomi growled and picked up a rock.
"I dare you to say something else." Ino shut her mouth. Hitomi dropped the rock and walked off.
Well someone's PMSing.
'Shut up.'
Aw that's mean.
'Eh. Oh well. That's your problem not mine.'
Well at least I'm not talking to myself.
'Point taken'
From there on Hitomi tuned out the little voice in her head. She was beginning to wonder what happened to the little voice that tells you to be evil. Do you know what I'm talking about? No? Okay then maybe it's just me…
Anyways, while thinking about the voices in her head, which proved her insanity, Hitomi had… well… she kind of ran into a tree. Yes a tree. Hitomi had bad luck with trees, and she swore that they were out to get her.
"Ouch…….." Hitomi rubbed her head, staring at the ground as she continued walking.
"NEKO! LOOK OUT FOR THAT! Ouch, that had to hurt."
Yep. Another tree.
"Kira, I need some help."
"Okay, so when we get back home, you want me to call your therapist?" Kira asked seriously.
"THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF HELP I WAS TALKING ABOUT!! HARUKO! HELP ME UP!" She yelled angrily.
"Well something crawled up your ass and died. Jeez Neko, what's wrong?" Kira asked.
"Nothing. Let's go find Kiba and get this over with." Hitomi said after Haruko helped her up. Haruko and Kira followed be hind her.
"Why is Hitomi so upset? She knew what was supposed to happen. She should have been prepared."
Haruko shrugged and replied, "Who knows." And then both of them grew silent.
The three of them neared the Ichiraku ramen shop and Hitomi recognized a blonde in an orange jump suit, and she sat down next to him.
"Hey Naruto."
"Hi, uh… Hitomi was it?" He asked between mouth fulls of food.
"Yeah." She said. "Have you seen K-"
"There you are! God damn. Can't you stay in one place?" Kiba interrupted as he, Shikamaru, and Hinata walked up to them. Hinata noticed Naruto and blushed.
Both Hitomi and Kiba noticed, and Kiba growled, glaring at the back of Naruto's head. Hitomi then whispered to Kiba so that only he heard,
"So, you're jealous of Naruto, aren't you?"
"NO!" he blurted and everyone looked at them.
"Thank you Kiba. That was all I needed to know."
Flash Back
"Hitomi, you mustn't get distracted child. When it comes time for you, Haruko and Kira to training for our previous village, you must stay focused on your training or you'll be sent off some place off until your training is complete." Hitomi's grandmother warned her.
"Why can't I just stay here in New York?" The eight year old asked.
"It's because at birth, you, Haruko, and Kira were chosen to be the ones to restore our families after we left Konoha. But as I was saying, do you understand?"
Even though she truly didn't, she nodded anyway.
"Good. Now run along and play. You've done well enough for your training."
End Flashback
She sighed.
'As long as I stay focused, every thing will be fine…'
Hitomi then realized everyone was staring at her.
"Welcome back to earth Neko." Kira said sarcastically. Hitomi looked that the ground.
"Sorry…" And she began to walk away again, but Haruko went after her.
"We've gotta go with them Neko." Hitomi looked at him and sighed.
"At this point, you know very damn well why I don't wanna go, and if I hadn't been assigned to go with him, I'd keep walking." She walked back over to Kiba.
"Let's get this over with. I'm exhausted and training will start immediately." They were all staring again.
"What do you mean training will start immediately?" Kira whined.
"Kira, weather you and Haruko choose to train right away is not of my own decision, but I plan to start training as soon as we return from New York. The rest of you, don't question me on what New York is." Hitomi was thinking about what her grandmother had said again.
Kiba began to lead Hitomi in the direction of his house, when Hitomi yelled to Hinata,
"Hinata, Kiba's in love with you!" and then she took of running from a very angry Inu boy.
"WHA-?! Hey, get back here and face me like a man you coward! When I get my hands on you, I'm going to make you pay… I'm going to make you pay dearly." Kiba growled, chasing after her.
"When? Don't you mean if?" She teased, picking up some speed. Akamaru and Keiko followed behind them, more slowly than their owners. Haruko sighed.
"Hitomi and her mood swings."
Okay! Here's Chapter Four! I'm sorry that it doesn't have a title. Chapter five will be out soon. Also go to my profile to learn a little bit more about how many chapters are going to be in the story. It's going to end sooner than I expected. Also the next chapter takes place a month after they went to explain to their families. Sorry also for the time gap. Reviews are nice but I'm no longer going to resort to begging for them, because what's the point if it only annoys the reader more, right?
