Chapter 4.
"Of course you can, it's what I'm here for Ino, what is it?" Haineko said putting her arm around her, Ino was clearly in need of some loving,
"I... Think I'm pregnant."
"You're... Pregnant?" Haineko said widening her eyes.
"I was at a party with the group a couple of months ago and I hooked up with a guy from the party and ever since then... I've been getting all the signs." Ino said scrunching her face up tightly,
"Ino, it doesn't matter what happened, I'm still your friend and I'm always going to support you through no matter what happens." Haineko said hugging onto her,
"Thank you so much Hinata. You haven't changed all that much at all when it comes down to it! You're the best." Ino said laughing softly through the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"Don't cry, that make up was expensive, you can get through this but first, tea." Haineko said walking up to the kitchen,
"I want to get rid of it." Ino said looking up to her,
"You want an abortion?" Haineko asked her picking up one of her shopping bags,
"Yes." Ino said standing up, "I don't want children, not yet." Ino said putting her hands on her hips,
"Then we'll be having sake and not tea." Haineko said pulling out a sake bottle grinning.
The girls had a few drinks before going to bed relatively early, it was 11:30pm and they were all snuggled up with blankets and pillows and sound asleep.
It was around 3AM there was a sound Haineko could now ignore.
"Haineko!" A voice called from around her, Haineko sat up sharply and looked around herself, she could see nothing but blackness, she looked over the end of the bed and put a foot down on the floor, she felt grass instead of the wooden floor from Ino's house.
"What the?" Haineko looked directly to he side and noticed there was nothing there, nothing but blackness, the darkness surrounded her, she found she was no longer on the bed but now on the floor, or maybe in the middle of a field, had she got lost during training? Was that all a dream?
Haineko stood up slowly, her legs shook beneath her.
"Rangiku! Are you there?" Haineko called out,
"Haineko!" The voice called out again,
"Rangiku!" Haineko shouted walking towards the voice,
"Haineko!" The voice was calling in despair.
"Where are you? Rangiku!" Haineko called the tears streaming down her face.
"Run Haineko!" The voice called, Haineko stopped in her path and collapsed to the ground,
"Rangiku! Save me! PLEASE!" Haineko called, she opened her eyes and found herself outside Ino's flat, she was sitting on the ground in the pouring rain,
"I was here the whole time?" Haineko said standing up shaking in the cold.
"Hinata! What are you doing out there?" Ino called from the window,
"I don't know. I think I was sleepwalking?" Haineko called as she ran back indoors.
What the hell was that? It was Rangiku, I know it was, what was she telling me to run away from? Why was I still here? Why didn't I wake up? Was Rangiku trying to contact me? Was she looking for me? I don't understand what's going on.
She returned to Ino's room and went straight back to bed after changing her clothes, Ino was already back in bed by the time Haineko got back to the room.
It was the next morning and they girls woke up and got ready for school, styling their hair and doing their make up, going over outfits and making sure everything was perfect for the Friday of Hinata's life. The day her body was officially under Haineko's control.
"Hinata, about last night..." Ino started,
Oh damn it, what am I going to tell her? DO I tell her? I need to tell Shika but I can't tell her. She'll tell everyone I'm crazy...
"I was sleepwalking, I told you that." Haineko said picking her bag up,
"You were saying a name... Who's Rangiku?" Ino asked clenching her fists.
"Who? Maybe someone I made up, I do that a lot in my sleep. You need to look so scared. I'm okay." Haineko said smiling from ear to ear.
"If you're sure." Ino said looking in the mirror for a final time,
"How do I look Hinata?" Ino said turning around and striking a suggestive pose,
"Gorgeous." Haineko said holding her hand out,
"Shall we seize the day?"
"We shall."
The girls made their way to school, Ino was wearing a mid thigh skirt that was baby pink tartan with a tight fitted matching vest top that was covered by a thin grey cardigan that was slightly loose and sat to her hips and went ¾ of the way down her arm. She wore grey socks that went to her knees with bows on them, she had ankle cut boots that were loose on her feet and surprisingly suitable. She had her hair down and straightened, it easily touched the bottom of her skirt.
Haineko? She had tight fitted black jeans that sat on her waist line, low cut, her t-shirt was at an abundance, it was short cut to the top of her belly button, she choose this as apparently Hinata was a brave girl and had a beautiful lilac coloured belly bar in which attracted the sunlight perfectly, hopefully the boys attention too. Her top was white with short sleeves, it was plain as it gets but it made a statement enough. She curled her hair and had a lovely fabric bow pinning her fringe back off her face so she could show off her beautiful makeover.
The girls approached the school with confidence in their hearts and a grin on their faces, they walked with their arms linked together and their bags on opposite arms, the grouped looked almost astounded as they walked towards them.
"Hey Ino, who's the new girl?" Naruto said holding his had out expecting Haineko to shake it.
"It's Hinata, Naruto." Ino said laughing, Haineko laughing with her, his jaw dropped to the floor and his face went bright red.
"Hey guys." Haineko said batting her eyelashes slowly and dramatically as the wind gently brushed against her hair.
"Hinata..." Shikamaru said standing from his seating position,
"Shika, there's something I need to tell you, can you skip first class?" Haineko said sweetly winking at him suggestively, as not to lead the others to believe there was something wrong,
"Of course I can." Shikamaru said shaking his head gently to make sure his vision was truly showing him the beauty that was Hinata in front of him.
"I can't do it. I'm sorry." Sasuke said as he walked towards Hinata and Ino slowly,
"Do what?" Ino said pulling a dumbfounded face at him,
"Resist." Sasuke said walking up to Haineko and pulling her off Ino and into his arms as he romantically wrapped his arms around her as his lips met her own briefly.
"Less than a minute." Haineko said pecking his cheek,
"THIS IS A THING!" Sakura yelled crossing her arms and the two,
"Not yet." Sasuke said as he stood behind her with his arms around her waist, Haineko merely rolled her eyes by his actions, Naruto ran off in silence as the two hugged,
"Naruto?" Haineko called as he ran,
"Piss off!" He called back to her,
"What the hell?" Haineko asked the group,
"I'll be back, get off her Sasuke, you're coming with me." Sakura said dragging him with her, Haineko looked around in confusion,
"What did I miss?" Ino said putting her bag on the table sitting with Tenten, Chouji and Shikamaru.
"I have no idea, he just ran off without a word." Tenten said shrugging her shoulders,
"Talk about a make over, look at you Hina!" Tenten said smiling as she admired Haineko's choice of clothing for Hinata's figure.
"Thanks, only cost all my money." Haineko said laughing convincingly, she sat next to Shikamaru who seemed slightly more tense than before.
The bell rang to show that first class had begun, Haineko and Shikamaru headed round to the back of the school building once the group had left but this time... In complete silence.
I can't stand this, that Naruto kid just wandered off in a strop like I was invading on his turf or something, if he's in love with Sasuke or worse... Me. Then he shouldn't have run off, it's the worst thing you could do. What does it solve? It only lets things progress where I'm left without him. It's almost as if he cares too much about himself to care about how I feel. What an arrogant ass. He's so full of himself, how can someone as obnoxious as him be such close friends with someone as amazing as Sasuke? Someone who's calm and collected and deals with everything in order of declining priority.
On top of that. The one and only person who knows about who I really am and how screwed up this all is, is in a bad mood! If someone rubs him the wrong way or annoys him or makes him angry then all my secrets are out of the bag and I'm locked up and called a "lunatic" for the rest of my days.
I know I need to do something to make him feel better or even just get him to try to talk about what's wrong in order to make him feel a little better and to save myself and this Hinata but... How do I do that without seeming nosey?
I guess I try every method possible and apologise dearly when it goes wrong... If it goes wrong.
"Shika, what's wrong?" Haineko asked him hesitantly, she was well aware of the type of mood that he was in and it was not one to be messed with.
"What was it you wanted to tell me?" Shikamaru said very plainly,
"I stayed at Ino's last night and everything was okay, I managed to keep my cover almost all night... Until I heard Rangiku in my dream, she was calling out to me. I wanted to find her, I thought it was all a dream so I followed her voice, I called out to her. I thought she was maybe contacting me from the Soul Society." Haineko said as they were climbing the ladder,
"I assume there's actually a predicament to this story?" Shikamaru said back to her, Haineko had had enough, she remained silent until they make it to the roof top but there was another surprise waiting for them.
The two stood in silence as they looked onto the rooftop of the school building and saw two persons standing in the centre of the roof, one was a tall woman with warm coloured blonde hair, a massive bust, small waist and slim thighs, she wore a blank loose pant-suit similar to that of a Karate outfit covered by a white larger version of this with black lining and the representative of a number on the back. The other was a small man with silver hair that was in all directions he wore the same outfit as the woman, except his small dainty figure didn't complement the chest area as much.
RANGIKU AND TOUSHIRO! THEY'VE COME TO TAKE ME BACK! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER! NOTHING GET'S BETTER THAN THIS!
~I get to go home! I get to go home! I get to go home! Leaf village can suck it!~
This is great. I can't believe they have such impeccible timing. I knew they would rescue me. I knew after that dream... They weren't far behind.
"Who the hell are you?" Shikamaru called out to them,
"I'm Rangiku Matsumoto. I'm the luitenant of Court Guard Squad 10 of the Soul Society, next to me is Captain Toushiro Histugaya. Tell us what you've done to Haineko!" The woman said approaching him and Haineko,
"Rangiku! I'm here." Haineko said looking up to her,
"How can you prove it?" Toushiro said crossing her arms infront of himself,
"Like this old hag could ever compare to my elegant figure." Haineko said laughing afterwards,
"It's her." Toushiro said,
"Why you-" Rangiku started,
"What's going on?" Shikamaru said feeling insanely left out,
"These are the people I was telling you about Shika! They found me! They've come to take me back to the Soul Society." Haineko said grinning and hugging onto Rangiku,
"I hate you and all but I really did miss you guys." Haineko said,
"Haineko. I'm sorry. We can't bring you back with us yet." Toushiro said calmly,
"Then why bother coming at all?" Haineko raised her voice in anger,
"We need to find the girls soul that belongs to that body, we came to investigate more about her in order to at least have a name to call when we get home, now that we know how to get here, it's not going to be hard to bring the girl through once we find her. Captain will then be able to reconnect the soul with her body, when she does, you'll then retort back into your sword form and it'll be as if nothing ever happened. Okay?" Raingiku said positively,
"Does she have to go back?" Shikamaru asked,
"I beg your pardon?" The captain asked him,
"Why does she have to go back? Can't she stay here in her own body?" Shikamaru asked,
"Her spiritual pressure in her own body would destroy this village." Rangiku explained,
"They don't have that here, it's like Karakura town. There are only humans here." Haineko said to her,
"Well, I'm not explaining, what's this body's name Haineko?" Toushiro asked her,
"Hinata, Hinata Hyuuga." Haineko said sighing,
"We'll be back when we can retrieve you. Then and only then. Do you understand?" Rangiku said to Haineko with deep sincerity in her voice,
"I understand." Haineko said, closing her eyes and the tears streamed down her face.
The day carried out in a complete drone, nothing seemed to matter to Haineko, she was the lowest she had ever been in her life, including all her time in the Soul Society and under Muromasa control, she couldn't feel any worse than this, even if all of her secrets were exposed to the people around her. She simply wouldn't be able to care less about the whole situation. The people around her went back to being meaningless strangers that she wouldn't associate with. She spend days upon days on the roof, missing more and more classes as the weeks went on.
It was summer break, almost 5 months since that visit from Rangiku, what was taking her so long? Had something happened to her? Had something happened to Toushiro? OR had they forgotten her? Had they found Hinata's soul and preferred her? Had they refused to return for her? Had the passage between the two worlds closed? Why hadn't she returned? Haineko was reaching the point of disassociation... Beyond return.
It was now graduation of senior year, Haineko gradually forgot who she was as the second year began to pass, she felt as if Rangiku was never going to return to her, she was stuck in this world now. It was maybe time Haineko started living as she would have wanted to in the Soul Society. She was given an opportunity that many would kill to have or spend a life time trying to discover how to relive. She was given an opportunity to relive another life to it's full potential, she was now Hinata Hyuuga; Neji Hyuuga was her cousin, Shikamaru Nara was now her best friend, Ino Yamanaka went to her door and walked to school with her every morning, her favourite colour was lilac, she grew insecure about her looks and Rangiku Matsumoto was her enemy and she swore to destroy her... Should she ever dare to return to the Hidden Leaf Village.
End of Chapter.
That was boring? Exciting? Mind numbing? Thrilling? Plain? Good? Bad? Abysmal?
I'm gradually growing more and more tired of this story as I type it because it's not good enough compared to how I want it to be because I don't have the time or the energy to be bothered with typing it the way I wanted to be.
Oh well, I'm open to literally any suggestions right now for the next chapter.
If you're not confident enough to comment then feel free to message me privately.
Hope everyone has a good day/night/morning/afternoon, where ever they are.
Until next time.
