Chapter 6: The Girls
Ino's Point of View:
I followed behind this pineapple shaped head man thing to my new room. Besides the jerk attitude and the hair, he's actually kind of hot. He was definitely tall. I would say about 6'3, so that's a major plus because I'm 5'7 and can't stand a man that's shorter than me. He had on a army windbreaker with some black adida soccer pants with some matching shoes. He had piercings on both side of his ears.
'Damn, if I knew lycans were this hott I wouldn't be messing with warlocks' I thought.
"If you're done checking me out, I could actually leave you in your room" he said nonchalantly
'Shit'
"For your information, I wasn't checking you out, I was merely observing my surroundings and you happen to be included" I denied
"Whatever floats your boat, Troublesome woman" he sighed
'The nerve of him'
I walked around him and entered my room. To the say the least, the room was huge and medieval like. The bedframe was again the same dark wood that I saw in the hallways. The bed sheets were a deep maroon shade with some gold trimmings here and there. There was a huge window with a mini balcony to see a little more of the outside. There was a table on the opposite side of the room.
'This room looks like a torture chamber of fashion, like it needs some salvation back into it'
"Why is this castle so dark and medieval looking?" I asked "It wouldn't hurt to hire a home decorator"
"This castle has been within the Uchiha family for almost a thousand years. Sasuke wanted the castle to remain the same cause it represents the strength they had back then and now." he said.
I shrugged. Not really caring for the history of the home, I'd rather be in my home relaxing in a bubble bath. I looked over the room again and peaked a little outside the window. All I can see were trees for miles and miles on end. I checked out the bathroom and the closet. They for sure passed the test. Looks like I'm going to be spending the majority of my time in there, but I was going to have to accept that this was going to be my new home. For Sakura. I looked over to my tour guide or lack of really. He was so nonchalant, hell he didn't even act like a lycan. All I heard about Lycans were that they were cruel, night walking beasts that killed for sport. One bite from them can kill any creature instantly.
"You know you're different"
I snapped out of my trance.
"What?"
" Troublesome, I said that you and your friends are different then what I expected" he said
Confused I asked "What do you mean?"
"I mean that there were stories and other stuff on how you guys suck the blood out of children and kill for fun and all that other stuff that I don't care to remember" he replied
I smiled an understanding smile.
"I get what you mean. I always thought that Lycans were the same way to be honest. I guess the fact is that we were in war with each other for so long that we just assumed the worst of each other, but that's gonna change once Sasuke and Sakura get married. I bet they're the talk of the supernatural world right now"
"Yeah probably. Keep in mind though, just because those two are getting married, it doesn't mean the war will end on their wedding day"
Raising my eyebrow in interest "What does that mean?"
"What I'm saying is is that, vampires and lycans have been at war for almost 1000 years. You just can't expect us to be best friends all of a sudden." he said
When he saw I wasn't going to interrupt, he continued.
"You forget, there are power hungry people everywhere using this war as an advantage to rise into power with the leaders and the elders of the community. All their lives, they have strived for complete and total chaos because it gives them chance to be kings or rulers or whatever. Sasuke and Sakura marrying will shake their whole world and ruin their plans. You don't think they're going to retaliate and try to break this off? You're sadly mistaken." he said seriously
"Who would do such a thing though? It doesn't make any sense on either side" I said
I started to panic, I didn't even think about the consequences about this marriage. What would happen if they succeeded? Would they kill Sasuke and Sakura? All types of different questions were going through my head and each one was worse than the last.
"Just be on the lookout for anyone suspicious. I wouldn't pass anyone to NOT do anything between now and the wedding" he stated.
"Alright, I'll inform the girls about the situation and to be on the lookout" I said seriously.
"No need, the others already informed your friends of the situation, just be on the lookout"
I nodded. After learning about this dilemma, best believe ain't nobody getting past me to get to my Best friend. Nobody. I sighed. Today has been too stressful for me, I needed to go to bed and be prepared for whatever was going to happen tomorrow morning and the rest of the month. I began to prepare for bed when I realized he was still here. He must of felt me staring because he looked over and nodded then started to leave. Then I realized something.
'Shit! I don't even know his name'
"Hey what's your name?!" I shouted from my bed. That's right, laziness at its finest.
With my super hearing I heard him say "troublesome". I frowned ready to have a comeback, then he gave me a real answer.
"The names Shikamaru"
"Shikamaru" I whispered testing out his name. "He's not bad" I smiled
"You ain't that bad yourself blondie" he replied from his location
'Damn! I forgot he had super hearing'
Tenten:
'Why this she man look prettier than me?' I thought sadly
She man was taking me to my room courtesy of Sasuke's orders. His long chocolate brown hair was effing flowing down his back. Flowing. Like, what guy has flowy hair? That should be a crime against all gender law. His skin was effing porcelain for crying out loud like uuuggghhh life is so not fair. He was pretty tall too, I'm guessing 6'3 or 6'4. I peeked down at his feet.
'Big feet' I smiled slyly
"What are you smiling at?"
I was brought back out of my perverted thoughts.
"Why do you care she man?" Oops, he wasn't suppose to hear that.
He turned around annoyed, "She man?" he repeated "Where did you get such a ridiculous notion from?"
"Well" I started "No man that I know had long flowing hair like a woman's or has flawless skin, like the girls you see on Magazines, so that qualifies you as a She man" I said happy with my conclusion.
He looked at me like I was crazy. He wouldn't be the first nor the last so eehh.
"First off my name is nt 'she man' it's Neji and secondly what would possess you to even call me that?"
He seemed pissed. Oh well, he's going to get even madder.
I raised my shoulders in a shrugging matter "I call it as I see it"
By his facial expressions, I could tell he didn't like my answer very much.
'I knew he was going to get madder'
"If it wasn't for Sasuke ordering me to do this, I would leave you like a lost puppy" he spat
"OOOhhh I'm scared" I mocked "Please, I don't need you and your sheman you wanna go then go ain't nobody here to stop you."
"Believe me I would, but I am a MAN of my word and I will escort you to your room whether you like it or not" he said stubbornly
I rolled my eyes. 'Men and their stick up their ass egos and gentlemen like actions' I mocked internally
"Hn, vampires are so childish" he muttered. He got the wrong one.
"Well lycans and their stick up their ass egos" I said. Right! Come at me She man.
He ignored my comment. 'Gentleman like bastard' I thought angrily
"I refuse to have this argument with you, let's hurry and go to your room. I have important details to discuss with you concerning your friend."
That caught my attention. What was so important the we needed to discuss about Sakura? I thought it was pretty simple. She's here because of the treaty, She's going to marry Sasuke and the girls and I are her bridesmaids and happily ever after. Like ain't no other plans beside what I just came up with. We finally made it to my room after like 15 minutes of walking. Like seriously, how big is this castle? He opened the door like a gentleman, of course. I rolled my eyes at his action, but entered anyway. To say the least, the room was huge, but it looks like medieval times threw up all over it. Like eww.
The bed was huge, so that was a plus and the window looked good enough to sneak away in. You know just in case of anything. I looked around the bathroom was huge and there was a jacuzzi. Best believe imma be using that later. I checked out the walk in closet.
'Pretty spacious' I thought 'Good enough to store a lot of my weapons in here'
I came out the closet and saw She man, I mean Neji lean on the door frame with his eyes closed. I stucked the middle finger at him.
"I can see that, put it away." he said, his eyes still closed.
"Tch, bastard" I muttered
"Heard that too"
It's like he wants to fight me today.
"So, what were the matters you wanted to discuss with me?" I asked "Is it about Sakura? Is she in trouble?"
"Yes and no. Sakura as we speak is being watched 24/7 by Sasuke, but he still has his duties to attend to that she cannot be a part of yet, so it gives anyone an opportunity to try and hurt her or Sasuke" he said
"Sakurs's not weak, she could handle herself fine" I replied in defense.
"I have no doubt she could take care of herself, but what if they come surrounding her with no escape? or strike her down at her most vulnerable? Things happen for a reason you ignorant vampire. In one month's time, they will be wedded; however, I have no doubt that someone from either side will try to do something to stop this wedding. A marriage doesn't solve the problem. In this case, they're both marrying the problem in the war. Each other. For the lycans it is Sakura because she rules the vampires, for the vampires it is Sasuke because he rules the lycans. There is no middle ground." he explained
I pondered what he just said and he was right as much as I hate to admit it. There were other supernatural beings that would hate for this marriage to go off without a hitch. If Sakura and Sasuke would be married in one month's time then we need to be prepare for the worst and any case scenario.
"So what do we do?" I asked "Do we be with them at all times or do we just wait until we might find someone suspicious?"
"Neither, just watch your back and don't trust anybody no matter what" he concluded
I nodded. The severity of the issue was no laughing matter. This marriage will go down in history and will probably change the fate of the lycan and vampire world forever.
"Alright. You have my word Neji that I will do whatever that is in my power to have this marriage go off without a hitch or glitch."
"I expected nothing less of you. Sakura chose her friends well" Wow, wasn't expecting that. After that statement, he began to leave, but before he left I had to say one more thing.
"Sasuke chose well too She man." I smiled slyly "Have a goodnight"
He slammed the door behind him annoyed and muttering about ignorant vampires.
'Heh, I win'
Hinata:
"Welcome to the Uchiha Castle, I'm your host Uzumaki Naruto. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask" Naruto explained enthusiastically.
'He's pretty hyper for a lycan, they're usually laid back and quiet. Not loud and bright' I thought.
"So what's your name pretty lady?"
I looked over at him. He had really pretty blue eyes and an infectious smile. His blond hair reminded me of the sun and everything bright. He had a medium build and was very tall. I would say 6'2 compared to my 5'0 height frame.
"My names Hinata" I looked down and whispered. I don't like talking to people I don't know or comfortable with especially if I'm currently at war with their species. It brings out my shy side that I don't like to show.
"Oh don't hide your face, and don't be nervous. I'm here to help you any way I can is there anything you would like to know about me, the castle, food, yada yada yada"
I giggled. He's cute and funny.
"Umm, how old is the castle?" I asked
"Oh that's easy, it's a thousand years old and has been within Sasuke's family for the same amount of time. It's suppose to represent wealth and strength and other things I don't really care about" he said "But what about you? Tell me about yourself"
"Well," I began "My names Hinata and I like to read and cook and I often sew and knit I'm more of a grandma then a vampire really."
"No way, knitting and sewing can come in handy when the dry cleaners is closed or busy. If you like to read, we have a whole library filled with everything imaginable. Well that's what a girl said anyway. I don't read or know where the library is so yah, but cooking man I love to eat. What can you cook?"
"Well I can cook all sorts of things really. I like trying new recipes."
"Have you ever cooked ramen?"
"No, I have never really tried ramen either"
"WHAT?! You never tried ramen, but it was sent from God to us supernatural folk to consume and survive."
"Ummmm"
"Don't worry Hinata chan, I'm going to take you to the ramen stand in town, it's the best you'll ever have."
I was so immersed in our conversation, I didn't realize that we were already here in front of my room.
"Well here it is, welcome to medieval paradise" he said while opening the door. It was medieval to say the least. There was black and red and red and black for everything. The bed sheets, pillows, towels, table cloth, like the only thing that wasn't red or black was the table and the bed frame. They were a cherrywood color.
"You weren't kidding when you said medieval" I said looking around
"Yeah, it's pretty dull looking really, but before I go I have something to discuss with you" He started to scratch the back of his head "But I forgot the details. I know it has something to do with Sakura and the wedding though in like one month or something like that" he pondered out loud.
I knew exactly what he was talking about. I knew the wedding was going to be an issue the moment Sakura mentioned it to us. I knew the real enemy would make their self known during this time, it was too much of a great deal NOT to ruin this union. Whoever they are needs to watch their back because no one's going to ruin this union and the peace that could come from it. I looked over at Naruto still thinking about what he forgot.
"Oh yeah! Now I remembered Hinata-"
"I understand the severity of the issue Naruto kun, I will do my best to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious who would try to ruin this wedding. I give you my word"
He smiled a genuine smile. "You know Hinata chan, you are really something special, believe it" he said. "Goodnight, don't let the bedbugs bite" he waved goodbye and shut the door behind him.
'Goodnight Naruto kun' I smiled
