Author's Note: This one is short. And somewhat of an intro to the title. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Do I really have to say this again and again?
Chapter 8
Hinata
'Obvio. Did you see how he was looking at me at lunch?' Ino said.
'He wasn't. Delude yourself as much as you want.' Sakura snapped.
We were in Sakura's car. Me and Ino had called our drivers and told them not to come. And what was going on right now was a daily routine.
My two best friends. Fighting over Sasuke. Deciding whom he liked. According to Ino, he had been looking directly at her during lunch. Though I was pretty sure, Sakura was right at this point. This was the only thing that my best friends ever fought over.
All the girls at school fell over themselves in order to impress Sasuke. Though I didn't understand what his charm was, other than the fact that he was hot. But there were a lot of hot guys at school. For instance, Naruto was hot.
'Naruto?' Ino said in surprise.
I looked up in terror. Had they somehow found out what I was thinking?
'What is he doing here?' Sakura said, confused.
I looked out the window. There he was. On his motorcycle. He was waiting outside the Elementary school.
And Ino and Sakura were diggers for gossip.
'Does he have a brother?' Ino asked, 'I feel sorry for his brother. Must feel terrible to have a felon in the family.'
Now Ino was taking this too far.
'He is not a felon.' I said, feeling an anger inside me. He wasn't a felon, was he? Weird.
'Whoa, Hinata! Calm down. I won't call him a felon. Fine?' Ino said.
'Y-yes.' I turned red. I had spoken out too loud.
'Someone likes him it seems' said Ino.
'Focus. What is he doing here?' Sakura said.
We watched as a man came out of the building. Naruto talked to him for a few minutes and then sped away on his motorcycle.
'What do you think? Brother? Father?' Ino asked.
'Brother most probably.'
'He's leaving! He might see us. Let's go!'
We sped in the opposite direction as Naruto climbed onto his motorcycle. I watched as he went off into the distance.
I don't know how long I was lost in my own thoughts when Sakura asked me to wake up. I was home. The day had come to an end and I knew what was waiting for me inside.
As soon as the girls left, I felt a heaviness creeping up inside me. Night again. I sighed as I opened the door.
I was late. And I knew what was waiting for me. I went into the kitchen. Dad wasn't back yet. Thankfully. I went into his study and opened the drawer where he kept my sleeping pills. Hanabi must be in her room.
I took three with me. It was night again. I would need my sleep. And since today was no different, I would need my pills.
I looked at the clock. Eight. I wasn't hungry at all. I could try to go to sleep. Actually, I wouldn't have to try. I had my pills with me.
I sat on my bed. I took of my contacts and braced myself for what was to come. The inexplicable fear washed over me. As darkness had engulfed the world, my throat constricted, tears rose in my eyes, my heart pounded against my chest. I felt the pills in my hand, and the water bottle in my other hand. I brought the pills to my mouth, hands trembling and swallowed them some way.
I welcomed the relieving weakness seeping through my body. My body was becoming numb. I liked numb. I liked the feeling that I couldn't feel anything at all. But unlike every night, as I lost consciousness, I saw blonde and blue instead of the black that filled my world.
A/N: Hinata wearing contacts is something that is directly off a cos-play instruction manual or something. Though the thing is, the contacts offer a lot more that lavender eyes to Hinata, as you might have realised. Coming up next - The ten tails project. Hope you do like it.
P.S.: Thanks for the review Rose Tiger. You kinda reminded me of my best friend. That kind of review was something she would definitely point out. :D:) I was trying to make Sakura and Ino kinda bitchy and mean, but also show that they weren't heartless porcelain dolls. Hope I succeeded at that.
