Okay, there's a reason that I've been not updating
Okay, there's a reason that I've been not updating.
1: My computer turned into shit right after I updated the last story I updated (which was…?)
2: Because my computer turned to shit, I haven't been able to finish the chapter I was working on.
3: And my sister (klutzilla01) said that it was because the computer was being overused (btw it's a windows vista) and I thought so too, so I left it alone for (five minutes) before turning it back on to see if it was okay.
4: stupid me that counts as being overused.
5: This list is getting long, so I'll end it at number six.
6: So here I am, writing on the sticky keyboard of my old computer that surprisingly still works after being abused (overused) by moi, just to make this list. On with the story now, for I have… HOLY SHIT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!! I'LL JUST PUT THIS UP NOW AND TELL THEM NOT TO REVIEW ASFJMKL; XVXC,.JASFJRHGFD…
-:-
And that's what I thought when I didn't update. I'm still writing from my sticky keyboarded computer. But, all for the sake of writing this chapter because there's this one point in my idea box I wanna get to!
Obsession
They've been here for a few hours, and finally they find a place to sit and rest. They've been everywhere at least five times, and been posing for pictures about a thousand times more. So that makes five thousand pictures at least.
Hinata sighed, leaning on Deidara's shoulder. "Oh god… I just had a mini-seizure with all the flash photography…" she said. "Better get used to it… this'll happen every year." Deidara wrapped his arm around her. "Hey… we should find the others, see how they're doing. Then we could go outside for some fresh air (or more pictures)." Sasori said, glancing at Gaara to see his reaction to Deidara and Hinata. He didn't look too happy, but he was staying calm. Enough.
"You know… when I got here, the first thing I thought was: 'If I go to the bathroom, I'll probably see an anime people washing their hands at the sink.'" Hinata said, laughing a bit. "Oh yeah… that'd be cool, seeing another Lavi in the bathroom…" Gaara said absently.
The three turned when they heard someone call to them. "Hey! We finally found you guys!" It was Pein and the others. "They started a Glomp circle outside, wanna go?" Itachi asked, grabbing a chair from another table and sitting down. "'Glomp Circle?'" Hinata asked.
"Oh, it's a seriously fun game, Hinata!" Konan said. "It's when a bunch of people gather in a circle and throw a (an empty) bottle into the air and whoever it points to you have to glomp. A simple and fun game." Pein explained. Hinata smiled. "Sounds fun! I wanna go." She said. "And what makes it better is that it's with anime characters." Hidan added as the group walked towards the door leading outside.
Immediately they were included in the circle, and almost immediately Hinata was in the circle. It was kinda weird hugging complete strangers, and once randomly someone yelled 'Group hug!' and she got squished right in the middle when everyone ran in. And, without knowing it, the circle had grown bigger. There were over six bottles being thrown into the air, and almost every five minutes she was being hugged (all by chance lol). By now she had hugged almost everyone once.
The circle eventually got a little too big, so the Akatsuki (as D. Gray Man characters) left. It was really fun, but there were other things to do (such as getting in line to get Vic Mignogna's autograph).
-:-
Speaking of which, the line for Vic Mignogna's autograph was starting. And it was long. But the thing was, Vic wasn't there yet.
Hinata and Gaara hurried to find the place where the autographs were to take place (they lost track of the other Akatsukis), but something caught Hinata's eye. She turned slightly and gasped a bit. Vic Mignogna, The Vic Mignogna was casually walking towards the elevator. Hinata stared wide-eyed at him as he entered. "G-Gaara! Look! It's Vic!" she said, waving frantically at Vic, who was in the elevator.
He thought that she needed the elevator, so he held the door and offered for her to come inside. Hinata grinned and pulled Gaara's arm to the elevator, keeping her eyes on Vic. "Hinata, what are you talking abou- Oh my god it's Vic Mignogna." Gaara said, looking at Vic. He smiled at him, Gaara's mouth wide open in surprise. "VIC MIGNOGNA!!" he yelled as the door closed.
"Hi, you two. What floor?" Vic asked casually, nodding towards the elevator buttons. Hinata gripped Gaara's arm tightly in excitement. "Wh-Wh-Wherever y-you're going, V-Vic…" Hinata stuttered shyly. "Alright. Nice costumes, by the way." Oh that voice…
Hinata kept herself from squealing. "You guys here for the autographs?" Vic asked. "Y-Yeah… but we're kinda lost… so we kinda followed you here to the elevator." Gaara said as calmly as he could. Frankly, he was having a spazz attack. Vic seemed to notice, so he smiled and said, "Something wrong, Lavi?" Gaara shook his head. "I'm fine."
The elevator was silent, aside from the faint whirring of the gears pulling the car up. "Hey, you two want my autograph first?" Vic offered. Hinata and Gaara both gasped dramatically. "W-We couldn't possibly… I mean, wouldn't it be kinda rude to do that? I mean, there are about a million people waiting in line for you and…" Hinata started. "Well, think of it as payment for keeping me company on the elevator, okay?" Vic chuckled a little as the doors to the elevator opened.
Hinata and Gaara glanced at each other and laughed. "That'd be great!" They said happily.
(Author's Note: Stuck in an elevator with Vic Mignogna… I envy them… btw: I dunno if Vic would actually say these things (or if he reads DGM), so don't verbally abuse me in the review saying crap like 'JKLA ;MC,.JGKASFD;J VIC NEVER SEZ THAT!!' okay? Kthxbybbq)
-:-
The group (Akatsuki) were now driving home from the Anime convention, laughing and talking about what they did while the others weren't watching. Hinata was the one who said that they saw Vic Mignogna in the elevator.
"WHAT!?" Everyone yelled.
"The Vic Mignogna!?" Hidan asked.
"As in Edward Elric, Dark Mousy, and everyone else!?" Kisame yelled.
"Yes, Vic Mignogna the most awesome person ever. We saw him going to the elevator, and we got separated from you guys so we had no idea where to go… so we followed him. We were the two who got his first autograph." Gaara said proudly.
"Lucky…" Deidara muttered. He hugged Hinata tightly and kissed her head. "I'm glad you had a good time, Hinata." He said, everyone going 'Awww…'

Omake: Home
"HINATA! YOUR HAIR!!" Hinata's mother shrieked when Hinata came home. "AAGH! It's black! Is that dye? Wash it off now!" Her father yelled. "Whoa, Hinata, your hair." Neji commented, laughing a bit. "Mom, I want black hair too!" Hanabi said in a whiny tone. "You've influenced your sister! Aah!!"
All this… because I forgot to wash the dye out of my hair… Hinata thought awkwardly, going up to the bathroom to wash out the hair dye. Oh well. I still have all my anime things… she laughed a bit at her nerdy ways.
Omake: Home –End

At school on Monday, Gaara noticed that the keychains Hinata got at the Anime Convention were on her pencil pouch. He laughed a little. "You like it?" she asked him, holding up her pencil pouch for him to see. "Yeah. Maybe I should do the same. That'd look cool." He said.
Suddenly Hinata started giggling like crazy. "What?" Gaara asked. "WE MET VIC MIGNOGNA!!" She squealed. "He is such a cool guy! It feels like such a dream that I met him!" she giggled. "I know. And it was pure luck that at our first con we got him in an elevator!" Gaara said, adding to Hinata's excitement.
The teacher walked into the room, so Hinata calmed down. But the thing he was about to say next was going to get her excited again.
"Class, I want to know: Are you getting a little bored out of all the usual stuff happening in class every day?" he asked out of the blue. Everyone answered an urgent 'YES', making a few of them laugh. "Well I have good news for you: I got permission from the principal to have a class performance of my favorite musical/plays ever: The Phantom Of The Opera."
Gaara glanced at Hinata when he heard 'Phantom of the Opera'. He knew that that was Hinata's absolute favorite movie ever. She looked to him and gave him the biggest smile that he's ever seen. "You hear that? I love the Phantom of the Opera!" she laughed a bit.
The teacher walked near the window, where under the sill sat a small hat with the names of all the characters. "Now, in this hat are the names of all the characters. The person you pick is the part you play. No pressure, and girls, if you get a guys part and vice versa, you stick with that part. Okay, I'm starting with-"
"Cool, I got Raoul." A voice said from the window.
The room got silent for a while, staring at a certain blonde haired, blue eyed, Hinata's boyfriend Deidara, who was standing at the window holding the piece of paper in his hand. "…" The teacher was discussing in his mind whether to tell this kid to get out or let him stay because he was good looking and seemed like the perfect person to play the part of Raoul. That mouthful of a second choice won.
Deidara spotted Hinata near the back of the room and grinned. "Hinata! There you are!" he jumped in through the window and casually walked up to her. "D-Deidara, wh-what are you doing here!?" Hinata asked. "You forgot something at the base, so I came here to give it to you! Don't worry, I dressed for the part!" Deidara gestured to his uniform, which was actually one of the uniforms from Bleach.
Deidara only smiled at her. "So here's your iPod. You got cool songs in there." He handed her the iPod and kissed her on the head. "Should I be going now? Or is there some kind of rehearsal after they pick parts? I really hope you get the part of Christine." He looked to the teacher who had a somewhat flustered look. "Uh… Y-Yes, you can stay. Go ahead, we'll be discussing the play after we pick parts."
Surprisingly, of all the people in the class, and how Hinata and Gaara were in the back of the room, Hinata got the part of Christine while Gaara got the part of the Phantom. It was creepy how fate worked.
Lunch was getting pretty close, so Deidara, Hinata, and Gaara made their way to the lunchroom, trying to ignore the small crowd of girls following them. It disturbed Gaara, worried Hinata, and creeped Deidara out. He wrapped an arm around Hinata almost protectively.
"Hinata's so lucky to have a boyfriend like that…" A pink haired girl said enviously (hint: It's Sakura)
"He's good looking and kind! He came all the way from wherever he lives just to give Hinata her iPod!" another girl, TenTen gushed, a sparkle in her eye.
"And she's surrounded by two guys who love her!" Ino mentioned. "Who, Gaara?" Sakura asked. "Duh, isn't it obvious?" Little did the three girls know that the people they're talking about could hear them clearly.
Gaara turned dark red, glancing at Hinata. She didn't seem to notice. Instead, she said, "Gosh, I'm hungry. How about you two?" she looked at Deidara and Gaara. "Yeah. I didn't even eat breakfast…" Deidara fake-sobbed, clutching his stomach. "Oh, why not?" Hinata asked worriedly. "I wanted to eat your cooking, and I was tired of the usual instant ramen!"
They reached the lunchroom and sat at a table. "Man, what luck… we got the main parts and the most lines… we're not even good at singing!" Gaara said in a disappointed tone, ripping up the piece of paper with the name of his part: The Phantom.
"It's not so bad… it's just a little change to free us from boredom in school. I think it's a great idea!" Hinata said, smiling. "Yeah, 'cause you love the movie… You've memorized almost every song!" Gaara looked over the script. Almost all of it was singing. He sighed. "Well I'm glad you're happy! I'm gonna humiliate myself out there!" he yelled. Hinata laughed.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad." Deidara said. "Easy for you to say! Can you sing?" Gaara asked. "I'm not saying I'm the best, but I'm not that bad at it…" Deidara said humbly, scratching the back of his head.
The intercom turned on and the teacher spoke. "Will the cast of the Phantom Of The Opera please report back to the classroom after lunch, thank you." There was a clicking sound and the intercom was off.
Hinata, Gaara, and Deidara stood up. "Might as well go now." Deidara said, heading towards the door to the lunchroom. Their stalkers stayed in the lunchroom.
-:-
Sure, he had heard her sing a couple of times, but that was only when she wasn't even trying, or just being funny. But this time… this time, her voice was absolutely beautiful. Gaara stared at her as she sang on stage, mesmerized by her amazing talent of singing.
Wait.
I'm sure that you are wondering where that small paragraph above is coming from. Well, it is now after lunch, and the class was reviewing the parts.
"Let's start with introducing our very own Raoul." The teacher gestured to Deidara, who stood up and bowed slightly. "You can call me Deidara. I'm Hinata's boyfriend and… that's really all I wish to share about myself." He laughed sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "Alright, Deidara, you may have a seat, and we'll start by practicing our singing."
The teacher pointed to Hinata and told her to stand up. "Hinata, why don't you start with 'Think of Me'." He said, reading from the script. Hinata nodded hesitantly and began singing.
Which brings us to that first paragraph of which I wrote not too long ago. The first paragraph of this section of the chapter.
"She's wonderful…" Deidara sighed, staring thoughtfully at Hinata. "Yeah…" Gaara agreed. Hinata smiled at them when she finished the song, turning red when she heard the small round of applause from the others.
"Aww… Hinata, that was awesome!"
"I almost fell asleep… but in a good way."
"That was beautiful, Hinata!"
Hinata blushed as she sat back down. "N-No, come on guys, it wasn't that great…" she said, playing with her fingers shyly. Deidara pulled her into a hug. "That was great, Hinata!" he said, kissing her head. "Th-Thank you…" she responded softly.
Next it was Deidara, and then Gaara, both of which showing a bit of singing talent that no one knew they had. Gaara was a special surprise, because no one has ever heard him sing. The three left the school leaving the sounds of clapping and cheering in their wake.
"Welcome back, you three. How was your stay in an actual school, Deidara?" Sasori was sitting on the couch, reading the new volume of D. Gray Man. "It was… fun. I got one of the main parts in a play." Deidara said casually. Sasori raised his brow slightly in curiosity. "A play? Hinata, what part did you get?" He asked Hinata. She turned a bit red and smiled.
"I got the part of Christine… from the Phantom of the Opera." She seemed almost proud of the part she was playing. "The Phantom of the Opera, huh? That's cool. I remember seeing the movie. I loved it so much I made myself a costume." Sasori stood up and walked to his room, walking out wearing a cape and a mask that covered half of his face. "It was one of the very few things I got obsessed with that wasn't anime." He laughed a little.
"That's so cool! Gaara got the part of the Phantom, you know!" Hinata excitedly took the cape and wrapped it around Gaara, making him turn red. "The mask goes here… oh, but the eye patch is blocking it a little. Can you remove it?" Hinata asked. "No… my eye looks weird without the patch…" Gaara grumbled, taking the mask in his hand and looking at it carefully.
He turned around and removed the eye patch, putting on the mask and turning around again. Hinata gasped dramatically, making the other three jump in surprise.
"That… That looks…" she stuttered. Deidara and Sasori waited for her to continue, Gaara just a little confused.
"You look so… AWESOME!!" she squealed. The three sighed, not believing how nerdy she was being about this.
"I'm so glad that you're going to be the phantom! Oh! Oh! Say that one part… what was it, oh! 'The Mirror!' sing that please!" Hinata held both his hands in hers and squeezed them gently with excitement. "No. I suck." Gaara said flatly. Hinata looked disappointed for a second, which made Gaara sing it anyway.
When the song ended, Hinata hugged him tightly. "I should've video taped that!" she said. "Uh huh. I'm not doing that again until rehearsal tomorrow." Gaara said gruffly, taking off the mask and trading it for his eye patch.
"Let's stay here for a little bit and rehearse then, alright?" Hinata said, reaching in her backpack for her script. "…If you want to." Gaara said, following her to the couch. Hinata giggled and smiled at him. "Okay! Thanks!" Gaara only smiled back, the mood that was starting being interrupted when Deidara sat beside Hinata and kissed her.
-:-
Yes, the Phantom of the Opera.
Yes, Gaara's the phantom, Hinata's Christine, and Deidara's Raoul.
No, I don't know how I'll pull it off, but I will.
Yes, I'd like the cheeseburger with fries.
No pickles.
Bye, and sorry again for the long wait for this chapter.
