Putting Makeup on a Pig

Chapter 4: Tricking can Sing

Summary

People call me a stalker, but that's not true. I'm just an insecure otaku with no friends, it's not my fault watching these three cheer me up. I mean if you had to deal with I did, you would understand, but then again no one would ever understand me...Right?

Hinata is the school's weirdo with a habit of stalking our team 7, Sasuke, Sakura, and of course Naruto. She has 2 secrets, one, she's an extreme otaku. And two, she can read people's thoughts. When Naruto figure's out her most embarrassing secret she has no choice but to help him with his crush. But will things turn around on her?

Naruto's P.O.V.

I was just curious, I mean I thought she liked to stargaze. So I took a sneak peak in the telescope at the window, man how I was wrong.

I looked at the window through the telescope, Hinata was stalking Itachi!

Oh no, wait a second that was Sasuke's window, my mistake. Wait why Sasuke, this guy has nothing on me. But now that I think about Hinata has been watching him from the distance for awhile.

Walking away from the window in deep thought I tripped over a...Wait what is that?! It looks like a pillow but it has Monkey D. Luffy's face on it, that's kinda creepy to think she would sleep on it. But now that I take a better look at the place, it looks like she's obsessed with anime.

Specifically Monkey D. Luffy from 'One Piece', she had bleach's whole manga collection, although it only ended not so long ago. And these posters were of sexy men, in 2D anyway. "Naruto!" I heard the crash of a tray, turning to see the cookies and tea on the ground, shame such a waste.

"What are you doing in my room?!" Hinata frantically ran in the room picking up her pillow, at least that's what I think it was. I was still processing everything until it finally came to me "Hinata you're a anime freak."

"Actually the correct term is an Otaku" she corrected me without any hesitation, which pretty much proved my point. But that wasn't the main problem here, walking towards she backed up onto a wall. "It's not what you think, I was just" I slammed my hands on each side of her head frightening her a bit, maybe that was a bit harsh.

Her face turned a bright red, and she seemed to shiver a bit. "So let's talk about Sasuke, does he remind you of any character?" I raised an eyebrow to give it more suspense. Her eye's widened as she just seemed to realize what was going on.

Shrinking down, she slid down the wall crouching into a ball. She gave a small wail, I'm still trying to figure out was I too hard on her or not. Turning her swivel chair around I sat in it backward, as she was seeming to calm down I turned to look through the telescope.

Darnit, there Sasuke was in his room with Sakura, and they were sitting so close too. I should bust in there, and probably make up some excuse. Hinata seemed to be rambling on explanations of stalking Sasuke behind me until it hit me.

I don't usually like to do this, but it looks like she might be my only chance. "Hinata" I turned the swivel chair around to her "Hai!"

"Do you think you can help me?" This caught her attention "sure, just along as you..."

"Don't tell, yeah yeah I got it" I shook my head "anyway's I need your help with..."

"Sakura" she interrupted me, it was like she could read my mind, creepy... "So it's a deal, you don't tell anyone about anything you saw in here and I'll help you with Sakura Haruno."

She was frantic, anything to cover this up if I was in her situation I would be the same. I know this is foul play and if I told the bullying would only get worse. But I needed something, and I was given a chance so I'm taking it.

"Ummm...Naruto it's already late and..." She seemed to look outside which got my attention, damn it she was right. It was night now, and we totally didn't get any studying done. And crap if I knew better Gaara's stupid brother was probably at the apartment.

Running out of the room in a hurry, I stopped to put on my shoes at the door "oh, and one more thing, me, Sasuke and Sakura are hanging out at Ichiraku's tomorrow at four." I slammed the door behind, there was no way I would lose against Sasuke now.

But right now, I have to deal with this guy, coming inside of my apartment. My eye's settle on this loser sleeping on the couch surrounded by beer bottles. I groaned walking over to Gaara"what is he doing here?" I whispered, "Kankoro seemed to have gotten kicked out of his apartment."

"That's nice but what is he doing here" I pointed to the ground to make my point. This seemed to make the redhead fidget, and trust me I had enough fidgeting today. "I might have told him he could stay here."

Okay, Gaara knows how much I hate Kankoro, I can do Temari but I hate Kankoro. It would be cruel to kick him out, but I didn't really care. This was a one-sided decision and Gaara already knew my answer.

"Ah hell no!" I frowned stomping over to the couch with Kankoro on it. "What's wrong, pipsqueak" oh how this guy annoyed me, he thinks he's all cool but he's a loser, he was closer to Kiba's level.

"Kankoro why don't you go stay with Temari, she would enjoy having you" I emphasized the enjoy in my words, cause that's was totally what I was not feeling. Kankoro sat up yawning "Nah pipsqueak, I already tried asking" and I'm starting to see why she shot him down.

Oh how I hate to say this "you can stay, but only if you split the bill." Kankoro gave me his signature loser of a smirk "aah thanks, pipsqueak if you want me so much..."

"But you have to move out as fast as you can!" I had to get that out before he decides to stay forever like anyone would want that. You can have the guest room, which totally sucked because I was saving that for Sakura if she ever wanted to live with me.

Kankoro gave me a small frown before walking into his new room, oh how I hate my noble character for this."Okay, Pipsqueak, wake me for work" he said before closing the door "I have school you know" not like I really wanted to go, though.

After that I and Gaara ate ramen, it was the only thing that could possibly cheer me up after such a page turner. Damn Kankoro, damn my life, and damn the world! Wait I should be happy, with Sasuke's stalker on my side I can win Sakura no problem.

That was true but depression won in the end, I had worse luck more than the good kind. How my life sucks...

Hinata P.O.V.

"Good night Hanabi" I closed the door to my sister's room after putting her to bed. I was still a bit shocked about what happened, okay that was an understatement. I was totally confused and exasperated, what gave it away, I mean I disguised myself every day.

I know I probably should've cleaned my room, and hid the necessary stuff. But I didn't think Naruto was that type of guy, oh who am I kidding Naruto is totally that type of guy. Where did I go wrong, one I should've put up the telescope, and two I should've cleaned my room.

But I was so distracted by having a real 2D like character next to me I totally forgot. I banged my head against the hallway's wall, ugh I'm such an idiot. I just wanna go to bed and forget everything that happened.

Besides, tomorrow's the weekend and...Wait did he just invite me to hang out with them? No no no no no no, I can't I mean could, uh it's not like I have a choice. Remember this is all about helping Naruto, I nodded after I finished banging my head.

Everything was starting to make sense again, aah the clarity of it. "Do you perhaps have brain damage?"

I jumped at the sudden intrusion of my mind war, "Neji Nii-san!" He looked at me quizzically, just from his mind I could he saw me the whole time in the hallway, urgh so embarrassing, I looked like a maniac.

"We should probably call the hospital" He started turning the other way, which frightened me cause he was really gonna call them. "No no no, I'm fine" I waved my hands frantically, "I just need a good night sleep."

I slid into my room peeking out my head at him "so there's no need to call the hospital." Neji Nii-san probably already knew this but I hate the hospital after my headaches started I had to go there every week. It made me feel kinda sickly, which I was totally not.

I sighed as I closed the door, leaning my head against it. Maybe I do just need some sleep, everything will make more sense in the morning, yes that's totally what I need, sleep. Oh what am I talking about, I'm starting to sound like one of those anime girls who gets confessed to.

Okay, I really just need to sleep, my nerdy self is starting to show again.
