My Hockey Incubus
Chapter 9: Conflict on AIM
I slurred as sunlight pierced through my eye lids, making the blood visible in my closed eyes. It should be Saturday, my first weekend here, I don't have to wake up just yet. I tossed to my right side to find a pillow over. I held it tight.
Last night's sleep was really comfortable, one of the best night's sleep I've ever had. Hm, why do I feel so lighthearted? Yesterday . . . yesterday, oh, Gaara smoked before. Yeah. . . . And his parents died. Then we went ice skating, and I was able to skate so well. The ride on their bikes . . . felt so refreshing. Wait, then it started to pour and thunder, and Ryo brought Gaara and me to his house. He gave me clothes to wear and I went to shower and sleep. So right now . . . I'm in Ryo's house! And . . . and, I'm sleeping on a mattress he spread out for me.
I sat up. Ryo was already up standing in front of me smiling. "G'Mornin'!" He greeted.
"Good morning." I replied. I heard slurring behind me, and figured out it was Gaara. Oh Ryo asked me him or Gaara and I said Gaara that meant I slept with him! I groaned.
Ryo laughed more and stuck his cellphone (which looks pretty expensive and modern) in my face. I blinked. Then squinted because the image on it surprised me and erupted the blush on my face. The image showed me sleeping on top of Gaara, who was lying on his back, his right arm around me. My arms were around his waist, and my face was rested on his chest. His left hand was on his stomach.
"How did . . .?" I was about to ask, but already knowing the answer, decided not to bother. There was a moan behind me. "Gah!" I see Gaara sit up and rub his head. He looked up at Ryo and me. "What?" He asked, irritated.
"Nothing," Ryo and I said at the same time but with a different tone. He said in a cheery voice and me with embarrassment.
"How's the weather?" He asked.
"Great!" I stare out the window, it was still raining.
"It's pouring." Gaara replied dully.
"I know!" Ryo said with . . . giddiness? "Hina-chan gets to be with us today!"
"Yeah…" Gaara said his voice breaking. "Hey, got an extra toothbrush?" Gaara asked.
"Boxes of them."
"Oh, then can I have one?" I asked politely.
"Sure."

My stomach growled. I was sitting on the one-person couch. "Aww, Hina-chan's hungry." Ryo said. "Sorry, I don't have much food in my house. I always eat out." he apologized.
"I'll go check." Gaara got up from the 2-person couch he was sitting on with Ryo and left to go to Ryo's tiny kitchen. "I found some eggs and pancake mix!" He called. I went to the kitchen to ask if there was any salt. There wasn't, so the eggs wouldn't taste good. But at least there are pots, so we can make something. "Is there any maple syrup?"
"No, just chocolate." I suppose that could work, chocolate syrup on pancakes are kinda just like chocolate pancakes, not that I had many of that before.
"How much pancake mix is there?" I asked.
"A whole box." Gaara handed me the box. It says to just add water.
"There is water here right?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Then we can have pancakes."
"With chocolate syrup?"
"Yes, it'll be like a chocolate pancake."
"Ew."
"Well, if you don't wanna eat it, don't." I examined the kitchen, it seemed that pancakes are possible.
"Isn't there anything else?"
"I don't know, what else is in the fridge?" We both looked inside. There was expired milk, moldy pizza/cheese, a remote, eggs, apples, and a crushed tomato. "You can eat the apple." I suggested.
"No thanks, I'd bet there's a bug in there."
"OK." I said slowly; then got to work on making pancakes.
0o0
The chocolate pancakes tasted surprisingly very delicious. And Gaara and Ryo ate the most of them. We used up the whole box in one meal of three.
Now that we had finished breakfast, there wasn't anything to do. Ryo suggested that we go to his room to go on his computer. His room wasn't as messy as Gaara described it was. Just a bunch of clothes lying everywhere. On the bed, I spot a blue boxer short.
"Ooooooo, let's IM Naruto and Kiba!" Ryo said. He was sitting on a chair in front of a laptop now.
"What's IM?" I asked.
"Instant Messaging. I'm gonna check to see if they're OK. If were lucky, maybe everyone will be on."
That clearly sounded boring. Instant Messaging all day is a waste of time.
Hm, did I bring my cellphone with me yesterday? I remember I had something planned out this weekend. "Hey, where's my cellphone?" I asked.
"In my bag." Ryo said.
I got up to get it and came back. Before I checked my calendar, I switched my ringtone to bells, the song Ino put for it has been really annoying to me. Coincidentally, immediately afterward, Hanabi called me.
"G' mornin', Hanabi," I greeted cheerfully.
"Hey, Onee-chan, where are you?!" She asked furiously.
"Yesterday, I went skating with Ryo—it was really fun by the way---but I had to go to Ryo's house 'cause it was pouring."
"Ohhhh, you have no idea how lucky you are right now. You're supposed to be at the Hyuuga household to meet the Uchiha right now. But it was canceled due to the rain. It's gonna be held tomorrow. Be there. Father's really mad at you."
I winced, "Ok, make up something for me? Please. Thanks you're the best, Hanabi."
"I didn't say I w--"
"OH wait, gotta go, bye-bye Hanabi!" I hung up because Ryo was calling me and I didn't want to hear what Hanabi wanted to say. It was rude, but whatever, this is a sister-sister relationship.
"What is it?" I asked once I found my way to Ryo's room.
"You don't have an AIM, right? SO I'm making you one."
"Okkkk," I said slowly.
"Yeah, so you're gonna be Ryo'sLittleMouse."
"No way!" Gaara and I said at the same time.
"Fine, just LittleMouse then."
"No!"
"So picky, these people. What do you suppose Hina-chan should be then?"
"Uh, I dunno, Hyuuga…...Mouse?" Gaara said with uncertainty.
"No!" I said. "Enough of this, just make me Hinata."
"Fine." My eyes widen at what Ryo typed. "N-no not that, I meant--" but it was too late, Ryo had submitted it and I didn't go on the computer long enough to figure how to stop it.
"Ry0sIl3ntGirl will be your name." He smiled stupidly. "And your password will be lovableadorable."
"Ew, no." I said, "I'm not using that."
"Jeez, fine, I'll change it to something more likable then." He clicked the back button and asked, "What do you want your name to be?"
"I dunno." I shrugged."
"Ugh! Then what was wrong with Ry0sIL3ntGirl?" He groaned and threw his arms in the air.
"I didn't like it."
He was getting impatient and frustrated, which he has never been in all the time that I have been with him. Then he ordered, "You will be Hina_chan."
"No!" I protested, "Can't it b--"
"And your password," he interrupted rudely, "will be…?"
"Heiress." I muttered.
"There! Now was that so hard?" Ryo said at my face.
My eye twitched. Why is he irritated with me for? I did nothing wrong.
"It's . . . fine." I said, pronouncing each syllable.
"Good." He sneered at me. Both my eyes then twitched and my hands unintentionally clenched into a fist.
"Ryo, don't be so harsh." Gaara said, as if trying to avoid a fight. I could tell that he could see in my eyes that I was getting mad.
"How was I harsh? I was just pleasantly asking for a decent username for my dear, dear Hina-chan. And we found one. No blood spilled." He said casually.
"Ryo…" Gaara warned.
"What? I was just stating nothing but the truth, Gaa-chan, what could you be so worried about? Hina-chan's fine with it, right?" He taunted, he asked the question hinting me with the expected answer.
As a Hyuuga, we are taught to keep our feelings to ourselves and be patience with rude people. So I kept quiet, trying hard not to slap him right at the face then.
But then all these thoughts about his treatment to me then got me so infuriated. My hands started to tremble and my body started to shake.
As a Hyuuga, we are taught to NEVER EVER swear or curse, no words of profanity are to leave our mouth. You cannot imagine how hard it is for me to keep it in right now.
"What? No thanks?" He was joking now, and that got me madder.
What the heck? He just told me he's making me an AIM and then he got mad at me when I didn't like the name he chose for me for my AIM account. That's just . . . treating me like a dog!!!
And Hyuuga are most definitely not treated as dogs, no matter the reason.
I shakily left his room, not even bothering to hear what he had said after seeing me leave. I went to sit on the couch and started to get so mad at him. I was fuming. After all the trouble he made me go through, I will not be treated like this.
I sat deepening my hatred at Ryo for what seemed like hours but actually minutes. Then a thought crossed my mind that made me forget all about that:
…Uchiha Sasuke…
My head bolted upright, I forgot!! I'm supposed to get home, I have to get ready to meet him early tomorrow morning.
And since I don't want to be here right now, I might as well just leave and go to my house to get ready for the meeting with the Uchiha. I looked around to see if I had anything here. Hmm… Nothing. Well then, all I would need now is to grab my phone and leave.
I put my phone in my pocket and left the Ryo's apartment.
Outside, it was pouring rain, but I didn't care. I looked around until I found a familiar area, then I walked towards the area and looked around again. Eventually, I was able to reach my house. I snickered at my great escape from Ryo. It was immature, yes, but who cares? He's just Ryo.
After finally finding my house, I went inside and took a long warm shower. Then, without dinner, I went to sleep, worrying about my meeting with my future unwanted husband tomorrow.
