"Iron this." Neji handed me Sasuke's new outfit. "R-right!" I took the clothes, immediately plugging up the iron and laying out his shirt. Once the iron got hot I started running the iron over it, humming my favorite song under my breath. "What are we going to do with the rest of the day without Master Sasuke-sama in our presence?" Neji sighed, standing next to me. "Ano, we could tour the hotel. It has a cafe, gift shop, gym, spa and a pool too!" I looked up at the brunette before going back to the shirt.
I'm Hinata Hyuuga, a rank two in Master Sasuke's mansion. Among rank one's and two's we've coined it 'The Highschool Residence' because of the emphasis on ranks and the social status that goes with it. The only people who don't know the name are rank three's, fours and 'The Clique' a name coined for Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo. I joined the house out of fear I couldn't do anything else correctly, I went to kindergarten with Sasuke so I skipped being a rank four. Naruto was in kindergarten with us but I doubt Sasuke or Naruto remembers it. Naruto got kicked out shortly after he painted everything with funny faces one Saturday when nobody was around. I remember it clearly because, I...love Naruto! I have for a very long time. While nobody saw Sasuke after kindergarten, Naruto and I went to highschool together. Konoha isn't the largest place ever so I went to school with a few people in the residence. I was so happy when Naruto came here, Neji was entirely against it though. But Naruto fit right into our spider web of relationships. Though, it seems as if our web has been disrupted somehow, I don't think it's because of the rumour of the rank four hook up. It's something different... I just hope the disruption gets me and Naruto together.
"Hinata! Can I help?" A familiar voice came from behind me. "N-Naruto-kun!" I dropped the iron, the metal searing my skin. "Hinata-sama!" Neji grabbed the iron and after setting it down, after setting it down, took my hand in both of his. "Great job rank four, you have managed to hurt Hinata." He glared at Naruto."N-no it was solely my fault." I tried to stick up for the blonde I so adored, ignoring the sharp pain on my skin. "I will get a first aid kit!" Naruto disappeared as quickly as he came. "Does it hurt too badly?" Neji asked, taking the iron and beginning to do the task himself. I couldn't even manage a simple task by myself...
"D-do not worry about me, it is but a minor injury!" I blushed, looking away. I knew it was something I should of gotten the strap for. If anyone was to be honest I should have a sore arse every day. But Neji is always protecting me, putting the blame on others or using his superiority to tell others off. The only time he can't protect me is if Karin punishes me, but she only punishes me sexually.
"Right, then after Sasuke-sama is gone we can go to the spa so you can relax." Neji put me over himself as usual. "That sounds nice." I smiled at him, I saw his cheeks turn red as he begun to iron furiously. I'm glad he's always around. I don't know what I'd do without him. I wonder why he's so nice to me all of the time.
"Hurry up Uzamaki." Neji said, breaking my thinking process. "Jeez Hinata-chan is not even hurt badly." Naruto had the kit in his hand and Neji took it from him with haste. "I-I really am not hurt!" I sided with Naruto, ignoring the burn. "Clothe me." Sasuke walked out of the bathroom, looking moody.
"S-Sasuke you're freezing! You're covered in goosebumps!" Neji immediately draped the shirt over Sasuke- buttoning it up. "I can't stand men." Sasuke swatted Neji's hands away, "Rank two, do this." He looked straight at me. Neji looks so hurt... I have never seen Sasuke turn Neji away for being a male.
"Y-yes!" I started to fix his shirt. "Could you stop that? It's annoying." Sasuke sighed, his annoyance clear in his tone. "Stop what?" I made sure to check the buttons to see if they were in the correct hole. "Those. Can't you control them?" Sasuke pointed down to my breasts. They were pressing against Sasuke, they huge so I can never really control them. "Ano," I broke out into a sweat, as I tried to position my breasts the soft things simply pressed more firmly up against Sasuke, bouncing on his chest.
"I'm sorry I can't do anything!" I bowed my head to him, my breasts bouncing before settling down and hanging suspended in the air. "It's fine, I was inflicting my own issue on you." Sasuke then buttoned his shirt up himself. He then allowed Neji to put the jacket on him.
I watched, my face red as he put on his pants. "Bastard, he's gonna do something like that and now he has a issue." I heard Naruto growl under his breath. I bit my lip, pooling up my courage to ask the Master about his issue. If Naruto is upset I wonder what it is... I can't pry though!
"Do inform me of your issues. I will have them resolved immediately." Karin asked, not bothering to cover up prying. But Karin had a special way with words when she was with the Master. "It isn't a issue that can be resolved, unless you've dabbled in the field of interpreting dreams." Sasuke smirked, straightening his clothes as Neji fixed a tie on him.
"What was your dream?" Karin moved closer to Sasuke, giving him a slightly bossy look. "My future wife smacked me." Sasuke said vaguely, not bothering to conceal his intentions, or lack thereof, to inform anyone about the dream. "Shikamaru we're leaving." Sasuke snapped his fingers to arouse the man from a nap then begun walking, heading to the door.
What is he...? He probably thought nobody would notiae, but I saw Sasuke ran his hand across Naruto's back then slip a folded peice of paper in his palm. Naruto had a slight blush on his face but otherwise looked extremely stubborn. He probably wants the secret kept.
"Hinata! Let's go to the pool, it'll be fun." Naruto put his hand on my shoulder, pushing his face forward and looking at me. So hot... Why is it so hot? I-I feel dizzy... I tried my best not to collapse, though my knees threatened to betray me. "Ano! Y-yes we can go." I managed out, swallowing heavily. "Hinata-sama!" Neji looked at me, he put out his arms to me.
W-what happened? I opened an eye, looking around. I think I fainted... oh no I fainted! Has Naruto gone to the pool and left m "Hinata-sama you are awake!" Neji grabbed my hand in both of his."All right! Now you have more energy for the pool!" Naruto pumped his fist as he appeared in my vision.
"She does not!" Neji stood. "Don't be like that you know you would like to swim with us half naked!" Naruto shot Neji a wink. "Why do you have to say it like that." Neji cringed. "It is only true." Naruto shrugged. "Unless you're shy! Hmm, I suppose Hyuuga's are not as cool as everyone thinks." Naruto poked Neji's cheek.
"You two...are really good friends aren't you?" I smiled at them, letting out a small giggle at the two."Of course!" Naruto grinned as Neji insisted "Absolutely not!"
After a bit of commotion they finally ended up at the pool.
Naruto is so hot! Especially when he's getting a tan like that.I laid on a reclining chair, watching Neji and Naruto play. He always had a grin on his face, the blue crystals on his necklace shone but the shine couldn't compare to Naruto's eyes. Water laid his usually spiky hair down, droplets dripping from the end as his muscular arms brought up water to splash Neji as he attempted to soak peacefully.
Hmm, it's hot. I think they might have lemonade for sale. I stood, walking over to get in line for a drink. I thumbed through my wallet as I did so, working for Sasuke was a envied job because of the fact we make more money than most. Infact The Highschool Residence is the highest paying job for maids and butlers. He never really releases people so it's a tough job to get. But I heard we acquired Sai because everyone that used to work under Orochimaru was fired. It is true I have not seen Tayuya or the rest of the Orochimaru Trio.
"Hey little lady." I didn't bother to turn, assuming the voice couldn't be addressing me. "Too classy for someone like me? What are you, a heiress perhaps?" A group of guys appeared in front of me. "I uh- ano!" I didn't know how to explain that I wasn't rich because suddenly every word in my vocabulary disappeared.
"Hm? You are a shy one. Cute." A man with long hair bent down to stroke my hair. "I- ano- Nice to meet you!" I bowed, not knowing if they we're staff or Master. As my gaze went down I spot a Rolex on his wrist and immediately knew he was someone important. "I should be the one bowing to my beautiful mistress." The guy grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"Could I compare your hair to the ocean blue/ So serene in your ways/ Such a beauty can not be true/ With skin as delicate as a snowflake/ Eyes as white as nature's frozen tears/ a voice as sweet as the nectar eaten by the God's themselves/ Surely, this can not be real?" The man's voice poured directly into my heart, warmth surrounding me.
"I'm a poet. Though you may know me better by my novels. I'm Akami." Akami smiled, his blue eyes entrapping me. "A-Akami-sensei!?" I had read his entire collection already. "But you, my lovely, may call me Kei." He let go of my hand, smiling gently. He then drifted his hand up to my shoulder, H-he's too close! Before I could react, he'd pulled my towel off. The white and blue of it took over my line of sight before his grinning face replaced it. I turned to leave but the men that were with him surrounded me.
"Please don't!" I shut my eyes tightly. "What do you bastards think you're doing?" Naruto's strong voice came. "Get rid of it." Akami grimaced. "Naruto is a person!" I insisted. "He may be a idiot, but it would be foolish to underestimate him." Neji's voice spoke. N-Neji!
In a flash one of the men surrounding me were knocked over, falling down next to me and crashing. Neji was in a special stance, it's the position you use to fight with the Hyuuga martial arts style. He looked so elegant, his palm facing towards his next opponent and his brown hair out of its usual style, a green marking given to him at birth clear on his forhead.
I then came to my senses, beginning to try to get away but Akami got me by the back of my swimsuit. "Not so fast." He chuckled. I could see Naruto clearly, he had somehow earned a large bruise on his cheek. "That didn't hurt at all." He smirked. S-so cool! Wait, what's that shiny black... is that a gun!? A gun soon appeared next to my cheek, not pointed at my but at Naruto. No way!
"That's the end." Akami growled, I can't be useless like this when everyone is protecting me... especially Naruto! I brought my elbow into his stomach quickly, no longer caring if I was hurt. I spread my legs, moving into my Hyuuga style position. "Hinata that is dangerous!" Naruto said, worry in his voice. "It's ok, because I can not be useless!" I pressed my palm into Akami's stomach then begun hitting other vital areas.
Once he was down I gave myself the luxury of panting and turned to face Naruto. "Hinata..." Naruto's eyes raked my body, but I knew it was for the purpose of finding injuries instead of... "I love you- Naruto!" I confessed, hiding a sprained wrist behind my back. "W-what?" He swallowed. "Ever since I met you... I just wanted you to see me." I clenched my unhurt fist.
"I am truly sorry Hinata. There is someone right now that I care about alot, and... I think it may be more serious than I thought." Naruto patted my head. "I-it is Sakura, is it not?" My lower lip trembled, threatening tears. "I wish it were so simple." Naruto sighed, ruffling my hair.
"Watch out!" Neji interrupted the moment. Suddenly three large guys, wearing uniforms similar to the first ones, came barreling towards us. But as fast as they came they all dropped to the floor. "Don't cause this kind of commotion in the pool." Sasuke sighed, but his eyes went large when he saw us. He grabbed Naruto by the shoulder, pulling him away from me and looking at his bruise.
"Who?" He asked simply. "They tried to hurt Hinata so I had to-" Naruto started. "Suigetsu!" Sasuke called out and The Clique ran in, Suigetsu in the lead. "Teach them never to hurt my family again. And I want the one who bruised Naruto to not be able to walk for a while." Sasuke gripped Naruto's shoulder. "You can explain why you and Hinata were so close after we get that bruise removed." He said in a low voice I could barely hear before walking off.
