"Maybe I'm to blame
maybe I'm a liar
maybe we're the same
nothing can top the fire
I can't feel my heart
but I feel the shame
nothing left the say
soon I'll fade away
this place is all I ever think about
as lost as time
this place is taunting me
I'm looking back
and they are mine"
– Korn.
Unpredictable
Chapter four: Bustard
I miss you...
Can you see me? What I'm becoming? Do you still love me even when I don't recognise myself?
Everyone matures, but was I supposed to be like this?
Scared?
Love, from me.

I silently sat next to Sasuke on the wall when we reached my group, leaving Hinata to stand awkwardly in front of us, alone. She fidgeted with her hair and clothes as some of my group shot her and I confused glances. Dangerously dark eyes slowly connected with mine as the rest assessed the shy, new girl, who looked anywhere else but us. After a short while of supposable, silent debating, he shrugged indifferently, not caring.
I turned back with a pleasing smirk on my lips.
"Who's the babe?" Kiba grinned wolfishly after checking the purple-haired girl out. Hinata blushed from the supposable compliment. Amusingly, her face was somewhat mortified though.
Naruto socked him in the arm before growling something incoherent to the brown head. The blond grumbled some more when I shot them both a glare, telling them to shut up for once. Shikamaru muttered troublesome when they started to finally settle down, which I shot him an annoyed look for for slightly ruffling the boy's feathers up again. Shikamaru shrugged lazily and went back to cloud gazing.
I sighed exasperatedly while rolling my eyes. Boys...
I nudged my head for the timid girl to come over and made her sit when she fidgeted again. "Hinata, this is the gang or whatever you want to call these douche bags" —I grinned from their angered faces— "and everyone, this is Hinata, who is now a new member of our group unless said otherwise." I gave them a hard stare as a warning after my statement until we knew her better.
She hesitantly raised a shaky hand and squeaked out a hi to them. Her soft white eyes darted around nervously.
My lip twitched from her antics. She really needed to loosen up. "So you know who she is, you can tell her yourself who you are," I said, fatigue finally catching up to me as I slouched.
When the others started to introduce each other (rudely and loudly sometimes) Sasuke jerked me up when I wouldn't budge and pulled me over to a vending machine.
.:Hinata's view:.
I uneasily watched as the two dark-haired people walked away from me. Jade tried slapping and shaking his hand away from her wrist when he wouldn't ease his grip on her. She pouted as the boy kept dragging her unwillingly. His face spiked with a hint of amusement when Jade tried crossing her arms over her chest but realised where his hand would go and grumbled, irritated.
The dark-haired girl's pale-pink lips slightly parted as her face contorted with silly surprise and remembrance. She turned to face us she called back while pointing to the boy (with the arm that was trapped) and said, "Oh yeah, and this is Sasuke-kun."
Jade waved bye to me with the arm that Sasuke still refused to let go of, and then laughed merrily from it seeming like he was the one that was making her wave.
"She's a nut," Kiba said, baffled by Jade's antics that the Uchiha sometimes lets her get away with. He then whistled to emphasis what he said when Jade glared nastily at Sasuke who just brushed it off.
Naruto's eyebrows furrowed with agitation as he stared at Kiba, whom waved his arms up in surrender when blue eyes narrowed. "She's not a nut, Dog-breath!" He yelled out angrily.
Kiba's brown, shaggy hair ruffled with the small gust of breeze and shaded some of his eyes darkly. "Dipshit, don't become overprotective just because she's a girl. I didn't mean it like that."
Naruto snorted. "She's a better girl then you'll ever be," the blond said childishly, and my eyes softened from his small pout.
Kiba was about to bite back from the small banter intensifying when I interrupted him out of troubled curiosity. "A-are they dating?" My white eyes blinked as I watched the two dark-haired teens teasingly muck around while Sasuke bought the both of them drinks.
Everyone laughed. I could feel my cheeks heat up and I looked to the side, embarrassed.
I gasped when I felt an arm sling over shoulders and a chest rumbling with laughter. I looked up and was met with stunning blue eyes. "Nice one Hinata-chan, nice," Naruto said, trying to calm his laughter terribly.
My heart fluttered from the closeness and my face started to heat up more. My face pulled in confusion as I look at him and everyone else while I tugged at my top, feeling a cold sweat break out from nervousness.
A small, lazy grin was across his features when he looked at me with calculating eyes. "I believe what Naruto is trying to say is that, no, they aren't." I looked at the two teens that were finally coming back, with uncertain eyes. "They are actually half sister and brother," Shikamaru said, finishing off his small explanation in a bored tone.
Reasonable but I didn't exactly believe him. I kept my disbelief to myself. It didn't matter anyway, when I saw Jade give me a reassuring smile that made me feel welcome to the... colourful group, I just didn't mind. A small smile graced my features in return.

.:Jade's view:.
"Hey, hey! What the—" I shot him a dark glare and he returned the nice look. I dabbed my hand in the wetness that he spilt onto me (purposely!) and put my dampened hand on his cheek. I pretended to put on a baffled, disgusted face as I prolonged my talk, "don't you hate it when you piss and miss?"
Naruto laughed and Hinata blushed.
His lips twitched and he looked at me ruthlessly. "I thought you said you weren't a boy."
My face dropped and I stuck my tongue out childishly as I left them to grab a towel near the sink to dab the wet spot dry.
I walked over to the tables with some more art supplies and sat, making sure I placed the water closer to Sasuke. I winked at Naruto and he grinned, about to bump the tables so it would spill but he abruptly stopped with a somewhat dazed look. I gave him a confused glance.
"Hey guys! Mind if I sit here?" A cheery voice said from behind us. Great... that's what stopped my fun.
I looked at her, turning slightly away from Sasuke and everyone, with at hard stare. I open my mouth to say no but she cut me off—
"Thanks!" She then sat at the end of Sasuke's side of the table. "Hi! I'm Sakura!" She said to him, ignoring everyone. She twiddled with a silky, pink strand of her hair between her fingers.
He ignored her and turned his back on her a bit to give me a bland look. She frowned from this. His cold, dark eyes closed, trying to relax before the lesson started.
Her green eyes didn't leave his back, and she regained a smile on her dolled-up face. Her cherry coated lips parted to try again—
"You're annoying," Sasuke flatly said, stingingly cutting the new girl off. Her witchy-green eyes widened before she glared at the back of his head, and faced the front of the classroom with tight lips.
The corners of my lips pulled upwards.
--XXXXXXX--
I sat on my bed dressed for sleep even though it was only forty-three minuets pass four in the afternoon. I sniffed the air and relaxed from a candle burning some fragrant oil while the other few candles that were scattered around my room were for effect. My body was tight from the stress of a new day back at school. Why'd there have to be more fangirls?! I sighed dejectedly and slumped while glaring.
I shook my head from its drowsiness and looked around my room with a smirk. Did I ever mention that I loved it? It was atmospheric. It looked sort of dark and witchy-like yet also airy. It was very relaxing. My lip twitched upwards happily when my cat-ish shaped eyes closed to go to delectable sleep.
I blinked harshly when I heard soft knocking from the front door and almost slapped myself silly when I noticed I almost went to sleep in a room full of burning candles. I eyed the front doorhandle menacingly when I stood at the top of the stairs, deciding if I should ignore it and sleep. I grumbled when the steady knocking started again and descended for the door.
I prodded him in the chest unhappily before I moved away to let him in. I followed the silent male in a huff to my room when he didn't answer me why he was here.
I saw something flicker in his dark eyes when he entered, before he moved on and grabbed a bag and some other essentials. He tossed it to me and I raised an eyebrow.
"You're staying at mine with the Dobe tonight."
My piercing gaze connected with his. The corner of my mouth pulled unhappily when he won the silent, small argument and I went to get the rest of me ready.
My eye twitched. Stupid, cocky Bustard...
--XXXXXXX--
I popped some food into my mouth as I stared back at Itachi without blinking. Naruto and Sasuke were upstairs in Sasuke's room setting up the Xbox 360. I chewed slowly, trying not to lose the staring competition. His stupid reddish-dark eyes were unwavering while mine started to water.
"Hey Jade! It's ready!" Naruto said, jumping down the stairs with Sasuke patiently coming after him.
They both saw us sitting at the table directly in front of each other, and came over when I still didn't respond. Naruto waved his hand in front of my face, and then started poking me in the head when my eyes didn't flicker away. My eyes started to narrow because of him distracting me. I could feel Sasuke's heated gaze on us and my lip pulled in confusion.
The person in front of me grinned cockily when I finally blinked the wetness back. He stood with his dark hair draping over his shoulder to put mine and his plates away. "You lose little sister," Itachi's deep, smooth voice said.
My nose scrunched as I eyed him, ignoring the other two. "Not fucken fair," I said loudly. "They were distracting me!" I shot the said people a heated glare.
He shrugged indifferently still with the pleased look on his face as he went to go to his room for the night. "Little brother," he acknowledge with a cunning grin when he saw the younger Uchiha's angered face.
I raised an eyebrow from the brother's interaction.
I could feel Sasuke was cold next to me and he growled lowly as we all played COD 4. My eyebrows knitted together from his smouldering mood. I leaned against him to ask what was wrong but felt him tense. I frowned as I went to move away. He snatched my waist, still playing, and pulled me back. "Don't," his velvety voice softly said still with an edge of anger to it. My head tilted to the side confused.
Naruto was oblivious to everything around him except the game.
Naruto was leaning against my propped up legs while I was still slightly leaning against Sasuke. I huffed again while I shook my fist at the screen angrily from me dying, again. I didn't see why they made me play this stupid thing. I sucked at shooting games compared to them. Naruto started laughing at my cursing while Sasuke smirked from winning.
I showed my middle finger to the blond and tossed the controller at him.
"Hey! That's expensive!" He whined, pouting.
I crossed my arms over my chest and fully leaned against Sasuke to watch them play instead.
.:Naruto's view:.
I turned off the game system when I noticed that everyone was asleep. I yawned tiredly, rubbing my eyes, as I watched Sasuke and Jade sleep closely next to each other. I walked over the makeshift beds to the light switch and looked back at the other two once again. Sasuke's arm tightened around Jade's waist and her head moved to snuggle into the cranny of his pale neck. I rolled my eyes with a small grin. "They are both so screwed." I flicked the light off.
AN: Had a couple of bad night sleeps so my brain is rejecting my body again. :S Soz.
If I swap peoples views, like I did a lot in this chap, I always try to make the person think or act somewhat differently compared to the main, first person (even thought I hate changing from the main person). This time it probably wasn't that good... and anyway, after awhile I'll probably stop the swaps altogether so it's a-ok if this was crap (I hope, lol). :)
