Chapter 3:
Arguments and understanding
"OUT OF THE WAY PEOPLE!!" Sai shouted above the crowds as they were all pushed to the side by the running teens.
Hinata was being dragged behind Sasuke trying to finish an apple she brought for lunch.
"Ah, my apple!" Hinata whined as it slipped out of her hand, looking back sadly at the lone fruit on the floor.
"Leave it Hina…It's not worth a broken leg" Sai put on a dramatic pose in front of her as he took her other hand and began to run beside her.
"Yeh I'll buy you a new apple later…For now we just have to avoid that pissed off cousin of yours for the day." A shiver raked Sasuke's body as he remembered the last time Neji blew up causing many casualties in the process. ' I mean he did look like a girl with the long hair and yeh I did switch his L'Oreal shampoo with rainbow hair dye, but how was I to know he'd go on a killing spree' Sasuke thought. They ran rapidly through the halls taking a sharp right turn. Unaware of the wet floor ahead of them, as they all looked behind there shoulders to look for the very pissed off Neji who followed them.
"I think we- SHIT!!" Gaara shouted as his feet slipped from under him.
"WOW…what the-…" Sai toppled onto Gaara who lay crumpled on the wet floor as Hinata fell onto the fallen Uchiha's lap.
"Oh great! Not only are we not going to be able to feed ourselves for a week if Neji catches us but my ass is now officially soaking wet."
"Haha, Sasuke peed his self!" Sai pointed towards the scowling Uchiha.
"I don't know why your laughing retard your probably the same."
"Actually since I fell on top of Gaara I'm perfectly fine" he teased.
"Shouldn't they have a warning for this kinda thing…like a sign" Hinata asked in confusion getting up from the now damp Sasuke.
"Found it!" Gaara said as he pulled out a yellow wet floor sign from under him. The others glared menacingly at the red head. But were quickly cut off from saying anything when they heard distant footsteps approaching.
"NEJI!!" Everyone shouted in alarm as they jumped to their feet. Finding themselves getting no where as they ran on the slippery flooring.
"You guys are so dead!!" Neji shouted viciously as he barrelled down the corridor towards them. Unaware of the wet floor he fell face first onto the floor, sliding on his stomach.
"Guys jump!!" Hinata ordered, jumping over the flying Neji that slid across the floor. Running away from the now drenched Neji sprawled out on the floor.

Elsewhere as this went on
"Hey Kiba you met the new students yet?" Naruto questioned as he ran towards his cousin.
Kiba sat under an old oak tree that lay in front of the school grounds. He had come outside to get some fresh air and quiet.
"Yeh I saw them, I guess we're not the only freaks living in kanoha now huh?" flashing a toothy grin at the blond.
"Yeh but why are they here, you don't think they'd attack someone in broad daylight, would you?" he panicked.
They had encountered many ruthless Vampires in the past before and the killing was not a pretty picture. But gladly for their kind they only had to worry about controlling their bloodlust when the full moon graced the sky once again.
"I doubt they would risk being caught though if it's not for the food why come at all?" Kiba muttered as he scratched his chin in thought.
"Who knows but I think the girl noticed something was wrong with me" Naruto said remembering the incident in the hallway. Kiba nodded in understanding as he stood up to wipe the grass off his clothing and stretch lazily.
"Hn, I knew she found out"
"What? When?" Naruto panicked. No one could know their family secret. They had been living in Kanoha village for half a century and were not planning to leave anytime soon.
"She noticed in English when I tried to ask her a question about why they left."
"What if they tell others?, their band is playing in the hall at lunch that gives us enough time to do something about it" Naruto spoke he was determined to make sure their family secret was safe.
"I guess its time to pay the new Kanoha vampires a visit" Kiba laughed as they walked towards the main hall.
…………………
Back with the gang
Hinata and the three males soon found themselves in front of two wooden doors that led them into the main hall. Hinata looked up at the wooden roof above her painted in the school colours and the large stage in front of her which held the instruments they would be using for today.
So are we gonna start or what?" Gaara asked impatiently as he jumped onto the stage to sit behind the 7 piece drum set.
"Eh…I hope you guys don't mind but some people might be coming to watch" Hinata mumbled.
"Who?" Sai questioned
"I don't really know… guess we're just gonna have to find out" a sly grin etched on her face.
"Fine don't tell…but what song do you want to sing?" Sasuke asked while tuning the electric guitar.
"How about ugly" they all nodded in agreement as the got into position. Sasuke and Sai picked up there guitars and began to play a melodic tune.
(Italics is Hinata only, bold italic is Sasu + Hina)
Are you ugly?
A liar like me?
A user a lost soul
Someone you don't know
Money its no cure
A sickness so pure
Are you like me?
Are you ugly?
The music began to grow louder when Gaara began to play the drums. As Hinata sang the song she felt free knowing that she related to the song . Sick of the lies they told and every mask they had to hide behind. She wanted to relate to the day walkers in some way, those who were outcasts or chose to be. Showing they weren't alone. 'I don't want to hide in the shadows anymore, I want people to notice me for who I am not what I am' she thought with determination as she built up her voice to sing louder. Giving the song that they were playing attitude as she sang the chorus with Sasuke and Sai.
Chorus
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober!
We are fake, we are afraid
You know its far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober
Look closer are you look me?
Are you ugly?
Many people began to enter the hall to watch the new band. Some jumped around and cheered while other got lost in the music and looked on.
Turn a blind eye
Why do I deny
Medicate me
So I die happy
A strain of cancer
Chokes the answer
Are you like me?
A liar like me?
Chorus
I don't care, you don't care
I'm bitter, your angry
You don't care, I don't care
You love you, like me
Chorus
Are you ugly? (3)
"Hey that was great, Hinata I didn't know you could sing so good" Naruto shouted as he ran towards them.
"Who's that?" Sai pointed towards the blond boy and his group of friends that were introducing themselves.
"It's just the dobe" Sasuke answered monotonously.
………………
Listen Hinata we need to talk" Naruto had a serious expression as he walked to stand in front of the new students after introducing them to his friends. Kiba stood on his right.
"We know your secret" Kiba admitted. He looked to each of them watching to see any change in attitude as he brought up the subject.
"We could say the same for you lycans" , Sasuke spat in disgust.
"Hey fuck you at least I aint a filthy blood sucker" kiba retorted as their friends gasped. Gaara and Sasuke growled as their features became more feral. Gaara's once aqua turned a bright gold as Sasuke became a unique red.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" Sai sung as he stuck his tongue out at kiba and Naruto.
"Sai sweaty… I think you should leave this argument to Gaara and Sasuke" Hinata whispered, taking Sai by the hand away from the cursing group.
"Shut up dog…I hope you choke on your next meal" Gaara glared
"Oh yeh wel-"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!!" Hinata screamed, a feral growl emitted from her lips as her golden eyes glared at the bickering males.
………..
"AH THE YOUTH SHINES BRIGHT IN THEM!!" Lee shouted
"SHUT UP LEE!!" everyone shouted
"Shika kun what do we do if they start fighting" a blond haired girl whispered to a very bored looking boy next to her.
"How the hell am I supposed to know Ino…too troublesome."
"Maybe we should throw water over them" another blond girl added.
"How would that stop them" kankorou shouted
"Hey!! It works on cats!"
…………….
"Listen we're not even thinking of telling the village about your so called secret"
"Yeh Mahn we just wanna live a normal life like you guys" Sai added as he peered over Hinata's shoulder.
"Really" Naruto happily said.
"Yeh we know how hard it is to fit in…in the past we usually caused a lot of suspicion with the locals" Gaara grumbled.
"Our last home was destroyed because of it" Hinata spoke mournfully looking down at her feet as her bangs hid her eyes from view.
The others looked at her with concern; everyone in the castle knew that Hinata was struggling to move on. Sasuke moved closer towards Hinata and held her to his chest affectionately and spoke in a calm manner.
"Hinata how many times have I told you not to think about that. I don't like seeing you upset…" Sasuke kissed her forehead and wiped away the stray tear that rolled down her pale cheek. . The other arm wrapped around her waist protectively.
"Sorry about the fight…we understand how you feel" Naruto said sympathetically as he looked at the loving couple.
"If you guys need anything we're here..." Kiba added as he walked away
"Come on I' taking you home" Sasuke looked down at the sobbing Hinata as she hid her face in his shirt. 'Why'd I have to think about that now' Hinata thought to herself.
"No I'll be okay Sasu-" But was quickly cut off by an annoyed Uchiha.
"Damn it Hinata just do as I say for once. You shouldn't have come to this fucking school in the first place today, it's too early for you" he said as he held Hinata in his arms bridal style. Sai and Gaara looked down at the crying Hinata in his arms with sympathy.
"Don't worry Hina Chan we'll see you later on tonight" Sai assured her.
"Yeh just get some rest" Gaara sighed as the two walked out of the hall to their next class
……………………………….
Sasuke ran quickly through the forest jumping from tree to tree as he held Hinata in his arms. Both unaware of the watchful eyes that lay above them. As the rain fell from skies the cloaked figure watched in anger as Sasuke ran towards the castle with Hinata in his arms. 'How dare he touch what is mine' he thought as his raven hair blew in the wind and his red eyes lit with killer intent.
"No more running Hinata hime…Itachi Sensei's here…"
