Chapter9

Hinata was walking alone in the hall holding her phone close to her ears with an annoyed look on her face as she hears for the fifth time Itachi's voice mail , when she finally reached her locker she shoved all her books in it without even looking at the mess that was in there. She composed the number one more time

"Itachi , where the hell are you? It's the sixth message I'm leaving, you've done a lot of mess, I was already pissed , but now I'm even more enraged, listen Uchiha I'm going to hunt you down and then kill you and then I'm going to kill myself so I can kill you again in hell, you better call me" said Hinata before hanging up violently, the girl wasn't usually that violent but once in a while she would get out of character and the cause was constantly related to an Uchiha 'what's wrong baby? I think you're mad at the wrong Uchiha' whispers the small voice of her subconscious the voice it took gave her chills in the back , it was the voice of certain dark haired Uchiha with a deadly gaze.

Shaking her head Hinata looked at the mirror her face was a bit pale maybe because of the lack of sleep when she suddenly saw in the corner the reflection of her cousin who was looking at her

'Crap'

Closing her locker, Hinata started to walk slowly without looking behind she could feel that her Nii-san was following her, she started to walk faster and she could hear he was doing the same

"Hinata-sama!" called Neji

It was the signal, Hinata started running for her life, followed by her cousin who was running behind her. Hinata could hear her heart beating faster as the adrenaline rush was making it to all the cells of her body; it's been a long time for such a chase.

They were now heading toward the stairs which was full of student. Neji may be an athlete but Hinata was fast and most importantly whenever she would fell the danger she would act on impulse. The stairs were so crowded, so Hinata jumped on the handrail and slide down making sure she held her skirt in place, she didn't need another scandal. Neji couldn't believe what just happened he was seeing his cousin sliding down like when they were kid and she would run away from him he also remembers how her little flying experiments always ends; if her mom didn't catch her she would break an arm, it happened twice and he was blamed and she was not allowed to go near a stair without being accompanied by an adult.

Kiba was sighting and looking at his clock, Shino had told him to wait for him near the stairs, but he hasn't shown up yet and the guy was really getting tired , he yawned extending his arms in the front to release the pain from his shoulders when suddenly a blue haired girl just landed in his arms. Kiba blinked twice, he was caring in his arms the one and only Hinata Hyuga

"I'm sorry"said Hinata still in his arms

"do you fall from nowhere that often?"asked kiba with a smile

"Generally someone catch me" answered Hinata with a blush as she realized the closeness between them

"HEY!INUZUKA LET GO OF MY COUSIN" shouted Neji trying to make his way in the crowd

"I got to go" said Hinata getting of the guys arms, she started to run again

"wait can I see you again?" said Kiba with a blush

"sure, anytime Kiba-kun" said Hinata turning around one last time before disappearing between the pupils

"she knows my name" whispered Kiba more to himself

Hinata kept running, trying her best to avoid bumping into someone, the tiredness was appearing on her red face. Now that she lost her cousin, she had to hide because she was too tired to keep running

'now where can I possibly hide? Somewhere Neji won't look, because he knows I'll never dare to go in there….the boys' locker room'

Hinata was standing in front of the wooden door, the period was already over so the pupils who were having gym class must be gone, gathering all her courage Hinata walked in , no sign of naked boys. Hinata remembered that her younger sister once told her that the boys' locker room was supposed to be sexy but it only smelled like dirty socks and sweat.

"No seriously dude, I was so close to striking but the time was out"-voice1-

"Yes but if you had passed me the ball we would have won"-voice2-

'crap I'm going to get caught' thought Hinata, she run toward the door, upon opening it she saw the back of her cousin who was looking around him probably searching for her

'double crap' thought Hinata closing the door quickly , she came back in , she was hearing the two male voices getting closer. Hinata was freaking out, looking around she saw a locker open slightly , she run quickly to it and went in, it was a little small but she could sit in it and still breath. Hinata could see clearly throw the tiny space between the close bars. She saw the two boys passing in front of this locker and she heard the sound of the creaking door. Releasing a sigh, the girl tried to open the locker but it was stuck

'you have to be kidding me , it's probably the worst day in my life' thought Hinata as the bad thoughts were making their way to her brain, she could see how it's going to end; she'll be stuck here for days she'll get hungry and thirsty, no one would even notice she disappeared , she will die and they will find her body ten years later.

'no! get a hold of yourself Hyuga! The good news is that there are clothes in this locker so it must be occupied' thought Hinata trying to reassure herself , looking throw the bars she could see clothes on the bench opposite this locker, closing her eyes and focusing , she heard the sound of water

'so there still someone in her, probably the owner of those clothes, everything will be fine I'll just ask for help and he'll open the locker , he'll probably be naked. What worse can happen?'

Hinata shouldn't have said those four last words because whenever someone says 'what worse can happen?' something worse always happen.

The sound of the running water had stopped, and a young paled skin man appeared, he was warped in a towel leaving his muscled torso exposed, Hinata couldn't see beyond his chest , turning his back he took of the towel causing Hinata to lower her head in embarrassment. The girl focused her gaze on a bag which looked pretty familiar, she know she saw it before but where? she can't remember. As curiosity took over her, Hinata opened the bag, nothing interesting was in it , some books, a pair of headphones similar to hers and of course a phone, she was holding it in her hands and she knew she also saw this model somewhere before. She was too focused that she didn't notice the new figure that came in the locker room, suddenly the phone rang, causing Hinata's heart to jump, good thing it was put on vibrating mode. Looking at the calling ID, Hinata's eyes widened, she recognized the number and the name

'ITACHI'

And then everything made sense, the bag , the phone and the name , Itachi would only call two people in this high school, her and…

"Sasuke" said the voice that just entered the room and that Hinata recognized to be her cousin's

"what do you want?" answered Sasuke

"have you seen Hinata?"asked Neji, Hinata couldn't see him but with the closure of his voice and the way Sasuke was facing she can tell he's next to the wall, probably a few inches away from the locker she was hiding in

'now that's what we call a really bad day' thought Hinata

"do you think I have nothing better to do than following your cousin around?" said Sasuke with a smirk , he was wearing his pants but wasn't wearing his shirt, a shirt that was nowhere to be seen

'if he's not wearing it and it's not on the bench then'

Sasuke opened his locker and came face to face with a hopeless Hinata, his eyes widened a bit but not enough to be noticed by the guy near him , the door was opened toward the direction of Neji so he couldn't see what was in it

"well I have been following her I need to talk to her about that rumor that spread today, so you have no idea where she is" finished Neji

Eyes wide Hinata put her index in front of her mouth gesturing to keep quiet, her heart was racing , what if Sasuke shouts at her in this spot and Neji sees her, she'll be in double trouble for the rumor and for hiding in the boys locker room

" I have no idea" answered Sasuke with a smirk , he leaned in his locker his nose was almost touching her ear which caused Hinata to yelp slightly , a yelp her cousin didn't hear. One hand grabbed a t-shirt behind Hinata and the other did the same gesture that she did a few seconds ago , he whispered a quick "keep quiet".

"but if I see her I tell her you've been looking for her" finished Sasuke putting his shirt on, after closing the locker

"no don't, she'll figure out a way to avoid me" said Neji with a sigh

"that's would be really stupid since you both live in the same house" said Sasuke a little loud so Hinata could hear him

"I got to go I have another class, are you coming?" said Neji

"no I'm done for today, I'll grab my bag and go home" answered Sasuke

When Hinata heard the sound of the creaking door, she let out a breath she didn't even realized she was holding, the locker's door opened, taking a deep breath, the girl stepped out of the locker

"thanks..for not telling on me" said Hinata not looking at his eyes, she was about to leave

"not so fast" Said Sasuke slamming the locker and blocking the access , his two hands were put on the two sides of Hinata's head whose back was against the cold metal door

"so you're stalking me now" said Sasuke with a smirk, he was taller so he had to look dawn to see the girl's face

"I am not, I was just hiding from Neji , I didn't know it was your locker" answered Hinata still not looking up

"really and why were you hiding?"asked Sasuke , he decided it was time to take his revenge and mess with her head, since she have been in his for the past few days and Sasuke didn't like it, he hated thinking of her , so he lied so he can avoid her but fate keeps on putting her in his way

"I-it's….complicated" said Hinata

"and when you say complicated you mean the fact that you are dating my brother" said Sasuke

"you and I both know it's not true" said Hinata with defiance , raising her head a bit but still not looking in his eyes

"but it could be, and it will be rude to date a guy when you have been kissing his brother a few days ago" Said Sasuke with a smirk

"As far as I remember you kissed me" said Hinata this time glaring at him

"As far as I remember you didn't object"said Sasuke still keeping his famous smirk

"I did…later"said Hinata her voice losing the confidence she had a few moments ago

"later? But why didn't you push me when you had the opportunity?" asked Sasuke his intense eyes looking at her soft ones

"b-because f-for a mo-m-ment I hoped….i hoped it was someone else" answered Hinata her eyes full of sadness she was about to say she hoped he was true to her but she couldn't just give him that satisfaction

"someone else?!" said Sasuke raising an eye brow

"yes someone nice and true, someone brave ,someone who wouldn't think of me as a game" answered Hinata looking at her feet again

"you really want me to take it to the next level don't you" Said Sasuke with a cold voice

"this someone he didn't still those lips , did he?"finished Sasuke putting his finger down her chin and forcing her to look at him

"what do you want exactly? You want me to flatter your ego and tell you were my first kiss. Well then congratulation you stole my first kiss" answered Hinata with anger

"no I already know that , and it was long ago you just forgot" answered Sasuke amused at her respond

"what the hell are you talking about?"asked Hinata with a confused look

"your first kiss, I took it when we were still kids, in the kin garden a lot of little girls were asking to be my first kiss, so to shut their mouths up I kissed you, problem solved" said Sasuke remembering the struggle, he once came back from kin garden depressed and told his mom about what seemed back then the biggest problem of his life, she than told him that a first kiss was a gift , a gift he should give to someone special, to a girl that was pretty and nice and most importantly that wasn't annoying to him. The very next day , he found the perfect candidate , a shy girl that little Sasuke enjoyed passing time with

"wow so you were an asshole since your childhood" Said Hinata pulling him from his thoughts

"That makes them two, how about a third?"said Sasuke with his famous heartbreaker smirk

"No" answered Hinata her voice a bit shaky

"well that was rude" Said Sasuke. Generally he was a man of methods, he would follow his plans and would fulfill his goals , yesterday he decided to cut Hinata out completely but things has turned out differently , and here he is harassing her like some psycho thirsty for love. It was out of character for an Uchiha to run away from his problems instead he would make his problems run away from him.

"what is your problem, yesterday you said to forget that kiss but you're now asking for another?" Said Hinata in a whisper more to herself but Sasuke heard her

"don't flatter yourself, I'm making a point here; that you want one" said Sasuke with his cold voice

"What?!" said Hinata this time looking at him

"can you look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want to kiss me right now?" said Sasuke leaning his head down ,not breaking eye contact, his nose a few inches away from her, causing Hinata to flinch a bit

"I don't , it will never happen" Said Hinata hiding her fear, she was afraid of him, he never did those kind of things , never said those kind of words, she was afraid that for some unknown reason Sasuke had decided to make her life miserable, and he was doing such a great job

"I bet it will" whispered Sasuke in her ears, the warmth of his breath on Hinata's skin made her shiver, she hated the feelings that he was giving her, she felt vulnerable , weak, like he was hunting her and she had nowhere to hide

"breath Hinata" he said before disappearing, living her in a shocked state, feeling that her legs couldn't support her weigh, Hinata slid down the metal door, she just survived her first Sasuke Uchiha attack , he never was that rude , yes he was rude but not like that

'was that supposed to be a threat or…..a promise' thought Hinata putting her hands on her lips , her phone suddenly rang pulling her from her thoughts , it was Itachi finally calling her back

"hello, I liked that last threat so I thought I should call you" said Itachi from the other line

"I..Itachi…emm… yes…right…a…..threat, it's a threat" said Hinata her eyes still wide

"hey, are you ok? It's the part where you're supposed to yell at me" said Itachi

"yell at you? What are you talking about?oh yeah right wait a second please" said Hinata

She walked out of the locker room not even bothering to check that the way was clear, luckily it was , all the student were already in their classrooms and the girl was walking alone in the deserted halls, she was supposed to have arts now but she decided to play truant.

"Hinata , you're still there?"asked Itachi

"what the hell was that? Did you lost your mind Itachi or is it a disease in the Uchiha family tree?"asked Hinata angry

"no, it's a joke"

"well it wasn't funny at all, you have no idea what you did release, you released a bomb that gossipy people were waiting for, because of you little joke some girls are hating me , others want to hang out with me"said Hinata trying to keep her voice as low as possible

"and how is that bad you made new friends"said Itachi hiding his amusment

"friends?! More like new enemies and yes it is bad I hate being under the spot light , and don't even bother about asking about boys reactions ;some guy came to me and asked if my muffin needed to be buttered, what is that even supposed to mean?"finished hinata her face turning red from both angriness and shame

"well it means that"said Itachi before being cut by the girl

"I know what it mean, and thanks to that there are different versions of the story; some says we are dating, others that you got me pregnant and so we are living in an apartment with our baby and that's why you are stuck with me, oh and last but not least we are friends with benefits" snapped Hinata not able to contain her rage anymore

"WOW,really?! Well the last theory is the more interesting one, you think you can consider it?"answered Itachi

"ITACHI!"

"I'm kidding , couldn't resist the temptation"

"well I'm so mad at you right now, you put me in a lot of trouble, and you are not getting away with that so easily"said Hinata

"I wander how was Neji's and Sasuke's reaction"said Itachi from the other line

"well Neji was chasing after me and I had to play hide and seek with him while Sasuke was…nevermind" answered Hinata

"sorry?"said Itachi more like a question

"don't even bother apologizing , you know what don't even bother talking to me again"said Hinata before hanging the phone, maybe she was exaggerating but she was so pissed off and she had a feeling that Itachi wasn't the only responsible

Hinata was heading home and the menacing words of a certain Uchiha were still in her ears. Sasuke was already a mystery to her and now he's even more complicated, it doesn't make sense. Why would he do that? First saving her from falling from her window and staying with her and acting kind like she mattered , then kissing her and making her even more confused about her feelings and finally saying it was just a game, she was just a game, so that he can go back and promise her she would fall for him.

'what the heck! ok sometimes my thinking can be crazy' thought Hinata

It was logical from one and only angle; Sasuke Uchiha is one crazy manipulator, he loved brain games , adored messing with people heads , enjoyed pushing them to their limits he'll set them up to just knock them down, and it seemed that Hinata Hyuga was his new favorite toy.

what happened in the locker room was proof that the game was on.
