Sorry for the wait, I had exams. Molecular Biology almost killed me!!! But its over now. Here is chapter 7 to celebrate!
Meeting The Atasuki
To Hinata's surprise they ended up at red moon coffee house.
"We're here hinata chan, yeah!" The way he looked at her when he said that caused her to have one of those déjà vu moments. She was here before and he gave her that same look? Did he know something she didn't? She shrugged away the feeling and followed him into the coffee house. She saw t he same waiter from before, the iridescent eyed one.
She followed him to a large table where she saw a number of males. Come to think of it she couldn't remember having seen another female in this coffee shop. Peculilar. Should she be worried? Why wasn't she worried before? This could be a tragedy waiting to happen. She cast a look at the door, tense.
"Hello hinata-chan," Hinata jumped at the refined voice of Itachi.
"Ah… Itacha-sama, it's good to see you."
She glanced around the table. The other men present weren't students, hinata observed. They ranged from early twenties to mid thirties. There was a large man, that for some reason reminded Hinata of a shark when he smiled at her in greeting. Sitting beside him was a most angelic looking man, who Hinata noticed had a rosary moving to and fro in his left hand. Was he a priest? The last person at the table was a man in a business suit with his tie loosened. His face was awfully boyish but when Hinata met his eyes there was no doubt he was a grown man. They were stern, calculating and aged as they appraised her. They were the colour of rich blood just as his low cut slightly blown hair. She shivered.
Remebering her manners, she greeted the rest.
"O..ohaya minna-san."
They acknowledged her greeting and made room for her to join them.
"Oi fucker!" shouted the priestly man which made Hinata gasp.
The red headed man chuckled at her reaction. "Looks can deceive, cant they?"
Hinata nodded dumbly at him. "Don't mind Hidan," he said while gesturing to the rude man. "I'm Sasori, by the way." Hinata smiled politely at the intimidating man. They were all intimidating well except Dei-sempai.
"Oi, moron, I'm talking to ya!" the waiter, who Hinata now recalled as Kakuza, continued to ignore Hidan.
"So hinata you come here often?" asked the Shark man who introduced himself as Kisame.
"Are you trying to pick up Hinata" teased Deidara. Hinata blushed embarassed.
"Not really, I come when I can because I enjoy the atmosphere and …" why was she telling them this again?
"And the boss?" Kisame finished for her. Itachi glared at the shark like man, who just grinned broadly.
"W..what do you mean?" 'The boss?'
"Ignore him, he suffers for occasional stupidity," answered Itachi as Deidara snickered "you mean frequent."
"Oh…ok"
As the time passed Hinata found out that Kakuza and Hidan were actually partners and this was just them on a normal day. She thought that meant that they were a couple until she was 'graphically' corrected by Hidan while Kakuza sputtered indignantly about hundred foot poles and scarring for life. Hinata blushed. Partners meant that they carried out assignment together not that they 'were' together.
"Assignments?"
"Yeah, a little of this and a little of that, it's like a club," answered Sasori before taking a sip of his drink.
Hinata was still a little confused but she let it drop.
Before she knew it two hours had past in the unusual company of these men. Those two hours, in the back of her mind this felt like some sort of…initiation. She also realized that not once did she space out. Madara would be enthralled, she thought sarcastically.
He was definately rubbing off on her.
She yawned.
"Seems like your ready to go home," Itachi observed.
Deidara pulled up to the Hyuuga estates and Hinata embarrassingly exited the noisy car. Everyone on the estate probably heard her arrival. Were all those revving sounds necessary? Deidara had pinched her cheek when she asked and answered "It's a bang, yeah!"
Her father met her entering the foyer.
"This become a regular thing now." The coming home late, which she hadn't done inn a week not that he noticed anyway.
"N..No father, um," she took a calming breath. "Itachi-sempai and Deidara-sempai, insisted that I join him in a small gathering of friends to c..celebrate the end of exams"
"The Uchiha heir" Why did he make question sound like statements, it was confusing.
"Yes, father"
"You were respectful"
"Hai, father"
"Hn, Very well." He then left her to her own devises as he made his way to his study.
'Minimum stutter' Hinata praised herself. She felt like she stood up to her father and that lifted her spirits.
The next day, when Hinata got to school a very unfamiliar sight met her at the gate.
"Morning, Hyuuga-san"
"Uchiha-san, what are y..you doing here."
"Hn," he shrugged. "Let's go to class"
"Um, ok." Was he waiting for me? Why?
"Sasuke" She looked confused. "Che, call me Sasuke."
"Um, ok Uc..I mean, Sasuke"
ohhhhhhhhh. dun dun dun!! R/R everyone, i seriously need the motivation.
