Chapter 11: Now I Ain't Sayin' She a Gold Digga
Hinata decided to skip school the next day for two reasons. One) she didn't think she could stand to see Neji. Every time she heard a noise she thought it was him and it scared her half to death. Two) she didn't feel like dealing with all of the publicity. She'd turned on the news to see cameras outside of her school and the kids acting stupid trying to get their five seconds of fame. Apparently the news crews was waiting for her and Sasuke to appear but neither one had shown up yet.
Hinata felt like crap. She waited until the house was empty to go downstairs and eat breakfast. It was a bit too quiet so she turned on the TV. A news woman with fire engine red hair was interviewing Sakura.
"Miss Haruno, is all of that true?" the woman asked.
"Yes m'am! Hinata was my best friend! We used to play together all the time when we were young. Why, I remember on the first day when she spilled food all over herself. Milk, salad, vinaigrette…oh, what a mess she was…" Sakura paused to let out a small chuckle.
"You know, I was the one who helped her clean it up. I even bought her a new outfit. We were such good friends. But then, we just…stopped. I think it's when she found out about Sasuke and I! She knew how much Sasuke meant to me and when she saw us getting close she must have been jealous. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't be jealous of me?" She smirked and flipped her hair for the camera.
"Anyway, Sasuke promised that he was going to take me to prom, but now I don't think he can. After all, Hinata has been making a lot of threats to ruin his family's business! The poor girl! She must be desperate…" Sakura started to cry crocodile tears for the camera and Hinata threw a box of Lucky Charms at the television.
"Oh my! Is Ms Hyuga really like that? She always seems so sweet and innocent." The news caster woman asked in disbelief.
" Yes, that's what we all think about the quiet ones. But I guess they all turn out to be boyfriend-stealing gold diggers like Hinata! Did you know she's only gone out with guys that were loaded with cash? I'm telling you, Sasuke is going to fall into her little gold-digging scheme! " Sakura said these last words with malice. She made direct eye contact with the camera and for a second, Hinata felt she was looking straight at her. "That little harlot probably isn't here because she's so embarrassed about her behavior…"
Hinata ran upstairs to get ready for school. She was not about to let that tramp ruin her reputation. She was done and ready in three minutes flat. As she opened her front door, she saw Sasuke with his fist raised in mid knock. He smirked down at her and Hinata shyly smiled back.
"Hello Miss 'Boyfriend-Stealing-Hyuga'." Sasuke said leading Hinata out to a black Harley Davidson parked outside.
"When did you get that?"
"Father's bribing me." Sasuke stated simply and handed Hinata a black helmet with a tinted shield. Hinata wanted to know what Fugaku was bribing Sasuke into but she couldn't help but get distracted by how hot Sasuke looked in the leather jacket and helmet. He looked like an emo private school kid. Which he was but Hinata would never tell him that. Sasuke lifted her face shield and gave her a quick peck on the lips before lowering it again. He swung his leg over the motorcycle and motioned for her to get on. Hinata secured her skirt so it wouldn't fly up before wrapping her arms around Sasuke's waist and burying her face in his back.
"HANG ON TIGHT!!" Sasuke yelled over the loud motor and took off. Hinata clenched her jaw and kept her eyes tightly shut. This was way too fast for her liking and she was pretty sure Sasuke wasn't going the proper speed limit. She could hear car horns and pedestrians yelling at them as they passed. She was glad that the helmet's shield was tinted because if it wasn't, those people wouldn't be yelling, they'd be taking pictures.
Hinata was so relieved when she felt the motorcycle slow down, but that happiness went away when someone yelled. "Hey, whose that on the Harley?" Hinata groaned and opened her eyes to see people looking and walking their way. Sasuke parked the bike near the student parking lot exit for a quick getaway if need be. When he removed his helmet, the crowd practically ambushed them. Sasuke helped Hinata off the bike and took her helmet off for her.
"Great, helmet hair!" Hinata pouted, trying to smooth back her hair. Sasuke couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
The paparazzi attacked. "Miss Hyuga! Miss Hyuga! Will you answer a few questions for us?" one man asked shoving a mic in her face. "Mr.Uchiha is it true that you are being threatened by Ms. Hyuga?" "When did you and Miss. Hyuga start dating Mr. Uchiha?"
Sasuke put his hand on the small of Hinata's back and lead her through the crowd of paparazzi. Hinata kept her eyes straight ahead and tried not to answer any questions. She could tell that Sasuke was getting pissed by the way his jaw twitched slightly at each question.
Then someone finally asked, "Mr.Uchiha, what about Ms. Haruno? Are you really that heartless?" Sasuke glared at him before giving the finger to the camera. That seemed to make the crowd wilder and even more brutal questions were beginning to surface. Hinata felt like the school kept getting farther and farther away the more they walked. "Miss Hyuga are you a gold digger?" one man asked and Sasuke and Hinata both stopped walking and looked at the guy like she was crazy. "Are you putting out for Mr. Uchiha because of his money?"
Sasuke turned on his heel and raised his fist to hit the man but Hinata caught his arm. "No, Sasuke please!" Hinata pleaded and Sasuke lowered his fist. That didn't stop the man at all. "You've got him on a short leash don't you, Hyuga? Addicted to sex, perhaps? You teens today…how is she in bed, Mr.Uchiha?" Before Sasuke could react, a whirl of long brown hair pummeled the man.
"Do…" Neji said as he punched the man in the face. "Not…" Punch. "Talk about…" Punch. "My cousin…" Punch. "In such a manner!"
Hinata watched in horror as he beat the paparazzi down. Sasuke could see how disturbed Hinata was by seeing this so he grabbed Neji by his collar and pulled him off. When Neji started struggling Sasuke let go of Hinata and got a firm grip around Neji's torso.
"N-N-Neji, please s-stop!" Hinata cried and Neji immediately came to his senses. Sasuke let go of his torso and kept a firm grip on his shoulder. The other paparazzi backed down, afraid they might end up like that guy. Sasuke glared at them.
"Anymore questions?" He growled and everyone took that as a cue to shut up. As they walked into the school, the paparazzi took a few more pictures until the doors were shut. Sasuke let go of Neji and all three of them just looked at each other. They didn't know what to make of the current situation. Neji could have charges pressed against him by that man and get sent to jail for assault and battery. Neji caught Hinata's gaze but she quickly looked away.
Sasuke could feel a slight uneasiness between the two and started to wonder what had happened. Sasuke knew that Neji was the distant type, but he seemed to be trying to get Hinata's attention lately. Neji glanced at Hinata and slowly ran his fingers through his hair before walking off. Sasuke took Hinata's hand in his and they both started to walk towards their class.
Hinata was extremely worried about Neji. Sure he nearly raped her, but he was still her cousin and she loved him like a brother. She didn't want him to go to jail...at least not for something as silly as beating down a paparazzi. Hopefully the person wouldn't sue. She knew that his case would probably fall through; everyone and their mother had tried to sue them before, but every case would fall through. When Hinata and Sasuke entered the classroom, a hush fell over the students. Even the teacher, Asuma, stopped talking.
"Nice of you to join us. Mr. Uchiha, Miss Hyuga, please take your seats. Oh, by the way, you both have detention for being late." Asuma said dully before beginning his lecture again.
Hinata and Sasuke took seats in the back. She could feel the death glares of fangirls. Hinata shook her head. Why did I come to school anyway? Oh yea! To set that slut, Sakura, straight. Hinata thoughts were broken by a piece a paper that landed on her head. Sasuke quickly took it and uncrumpled it. He furrowed his brow at what it said. Hinata leaned over in her seat and gasped.
You're dead, Hyuga. You are SO dead.
