Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Sorry I didn't put anything up yesterday. I won't post on Saturdays because that's when Naruto, Death Note, Bleach, and Blood + (which just ended. (sob)) are on, so I won't have the time. Sorry!
Enjoy! Don't forget to review. Flames are welcome.
"Thank you for coming again, Sasuke. Now, would you please escort these two to your home so that they can settle in?"
Sasuke nodded his head in compliance, then turned around and left, expecting Hitori and Shihan to follow him.
They looked at the Hokage and tilted their heads in farewell before turning to follow Sasuke. They walked behind Sasuke in silence through the building, walking quickly to catch up. They finally came up right behind him as they exited the building, and then started walking next to him, Hitori on his right, Shihan on his left.
They walked in silence for a few more minutes before someone spoke.
"Thank you for letting us stay with you. It's very charitable," Shihan said, his voice impassive.
"Hn," was all Sasuke said, if grunting counts as saying something.
They eventually arrived at the Uchiha residency. Hitori had never realized how big it really was. She couldn't keep herself from commenting on it.
"It must be awful to have to live here alone."
She barely stopped herself from hitting herself for being stupid. From what she had gathered from the series, not many people even realized he was the only one left in his clan. Why would she be any different than them? She should have just kept her mouth shut.
Sasuke turned to look at her, his face void of emotion as usual. He studied her for a moment before turning away to the door.
He opened it and went inside, leaving it open for Hitori and Shihan. He took off his shoes and they followed suit.
"This way," Sasuke said, the first thing they had heard him say so far. He went down a hallway, stopping at the end. There were two doors there, one on each side of the hallway.
"These are your rooms." He pointed at the room next to Shihan's. "This is my room. If you need me, I'll be in here. Don't need me."
He opened his door and went in his room, closing the door with a light slam. Hitori turned to Shihan, her eyes red with anger.
"He makes me so mad!"
She growled and turned to her door, opening it and slamming it much louder than Sasuke had. Shihan stared at her door for a minute, mild amusement apparent on his face. Finally, he turned to his room and entered, deciding to not slam it closed.
He looked around at the room. It was a very plain room. The room had white walls, a bed with black sheets and a single pillow, a bookshelf in the corner with some old dusty books, and a desk with a lamp and chair by the door.
Shihan didn't mind it at all.
What do you think, Anei?
'It's sufficient. Do you think the girl understands how you two got here?'
I don't think so. She'll probably come to ask me about it once she settles in.
'I suppose you're right. Kumori won't tell her about it, after all. She doesn't like to be helpful when she doesn't have to be.'
Shihan sighed and sat down on the bed. He'd just have to wait there till she settled in. He hadn't brought much, but he had brought something.
He pulled the kunai he had out of a low pocket on the side of his pants and set them on the desk, then laid down on the bed. He resigned himself to staring at the ceiling, since he wasn't too tired yet.
Unlike Hitori, Shihan could sleep normally. Anei was the peaceful demon, while Kumori was the wild one. Now that they were in this world, Hitori would probably be able to sleep even less than she had before.
Once Hitori slammed her door, she stomped over to her new bed and threw her bag on the floor. Her room was the same as Shihan's, but she was too angry to examine her new room.
Elsa jumped up on the bed next to Hitori, rubbing against her and purring to comfort her. Hitori pet Elsa absently, staring at her bag. She didn't feel like unpacking right now, so she just sat there.
Kumori, can I ask you a question?
'Sure, but I'm not saying I'll answer it.'
Fair enough. Do you know what happened?
'What do you mean?'
Oh, you know what I mean. Do you know what happened? How we got here?
'Of course.'
Well? What happened?
'Go ask someone else.'
I thought you said you knew!
'I do. I never said I'd tell you.'
Hitori roared out loud and stomped her foot, angry. She sighed and tried to calm herself. She'd just have to ask Shihan about it. He obviously knew, since he was the one who had done it. She got up and exited her room, Elsa right on her heels.
She knocked on his door, sighing angrily.
Author: Hope you liked it!
Hitori: Why'd I have to be so angry? (glare)
Author: Don't look at me with that tone of voice!
Shihan: That doesn't make sense.
Author: I'll decide what makes sense!
Hitori and Shihan: (sweat drop)
Author: Well, REVIEW! I MUST know if Hitori should be paired with Gaara or Shino. Please give me your opinion! Any ideas about a pairing for Shihan are needed too! Flames welcome.
