Ch. 11

What Happens When Your Late

Hinata POV

"Tobi you idiot! Un!" Deidara yelled at Tobi, dragging me by the arm while trying to pull on his jacket. Tobi was carrying Deidara's back pack as well as his own. "Why in the world would you do that, un!" He was really mad this time. Even I was a little mad, but I couldn't never really be mad at Tobi.

We had woken up today late. Tobi had gone through the night and grabbed all the alarm clocks, we had plenty of them because he always tried to hide them. He tied them all up and hung them around his room as some time of trophy. When morning came, we were none the wiser.

"Tobi-ni?" I asked silently almost tripping over my own feet. "W-what's was the chicken for?"

Tobi giggled happily.

"To wake us up at the right time! Clocks are all wrong." Tobi explained.

Deidara sighed. "Even if that was a good plan, un." He yelled back at him, "you put the chicken in the oven, un!"

Tobi giggled.

"You're cleaning it's mess when we get back home, un."
Tobi cried softly.

"Hina-hime…" Tobi whined and I shook my head. Time for some tough love for my older brother. I shook my head sadly.

"Sorry T-Tobi-ni." He gave a small whine but let it go. I giggled softly behind my hand.
"Finaly, un!" Deidara yelled ecstatic. I felt his eyes stare at me. "Your ganna have to go to class on your own, we have a big test." Again I laughed, he new very well I could use my byakugan, and if not, I already had good hearing. I nodded my head to reassure him.

The front doors creaked open and he let go of my hand. It was already second period, so we better have some good excuse. I also had a big test today.
"Come on idiot, un." He grabbed the back of Tobi's shirt by a now a natural reflex.

"Tobi wants to make sure Hina-hime is safe!" I waved to them with a smile as the turned right. I walked down the hall, and using my hand to feel the wall, turned left. If someone caught a 'blind' person walking perfectly, it'd be a little suspicious. Silently I activated my byakugan to see the world of black and white world.

Carfully, still trailing along I found my way to the class and knocked on the door. I was going to look like an idiot, but it would be the only believable truth. From a 'blind' person that is. Someone opened the door.

"You know your late for the test?" Naruto laughed out before I could say anything. He brought me into the class by my hand. The strange feeling in my chest flared up as my cheeks turned red.

"Why were you late?" Orochimaru slurred as Naruto left me at his desk. I turned off my byakugan. Orochimaru frightened me. "Hina-sssan?"

I shuddered and pointed my index fingers together. "T-Tobi-ni hid the clocks." Orochimaru sighed. Even if he hadn't known us before hand, he would have probably reacted the same way. By now, ever teacher knew my brother after the under wear on the flag last week. His own underwear.

"Go take you're ssseeat." I heard his head shift slightly. "Neji, come and help her. Read out the quesssttionss."

"Hn." I stifled a giggle. Neji wasn't in the class, but since he had free time after he had finished his test in his own class he came here to finish up some work. But apparently, he was also the class helper since he was there conveniently.

He grabbed my wrist in a tight grip, I held back from wincing. I could always hear it in his voice, he held some unknown pain. The kind guy at the ramen shop who had been telling me some about Naruto also told me a few things on his friends. Naruto's friend, who went missing, was Neji's younger cousin. Maybe that was the cause.

He sat me down and began reading my questions to me in a soft whisper. I wasn't really paying attention. I was thinking about my new friends. Neji's always nervous around me. I can hear it, he holds his breath and his body tenses up. The others are very much the same, like there looking for something in me that they can't prove. I had heard that I look like this Hinata. Her name was even not far of from mine, same habits I've been told, same hair color. And her eyes. Naruto told me that bit, and I very much wanted to be it for him. To make his heart as much as to make the pain in my temples go away. He had said they shone like the moon, pale pupil less eyes. The Hyuga clan trait, but he said it was so pretty on her. My eyes were pale.

Neji sighed. "Listen Hina." He said coolly. I snapped out of my thoughts with a blush.

"Hai ni-san." I quickly covered my mouth. What did I just say!

His chair fell to the floor with a clatter as he grabbed my shoulders in his strong big hands. He shook me a little and people began to wonder what I had done to set him off.

"What. Did. You. Call. Me?" He said tightly as he squeezed my shoulders.

"Neji!" Naruto yelled. "Teme what are you doing!"

He ignored them and I could feel his eyes blaring at me. I shook my head.

"I-It slipped out." I couldn't explain. How could eye when I didn't even know?

He gave a low growl and stalked out of the room. The door slammed behind him with a bang. Orochimaru chuckled insanely to himself causing shudders to go down my back.

"Misss Hinata, are you okay?" He giggled.

"Y-yes." I stuttered out.

"Someone ran next to me. "Don't worry bout that teme." Naruto said comfortingly while patting my shoulder. I blushed. "He has anger isues."

"Naruto sssit down."

"Aww! Alright alright." He laughed sheepishly and giving me one last pat before sitting back down.

Naruto grabbed my hand and ran out of the classroom.

"We better hurry, Sai wants to show us something." His breath stopped short at that and I gave a little giggle. "Sorry."

"I-It's okay Naruto." I sighed. "It happens."

I could almost feel his radiant smile. This poor boy was a demon? Again, I had to wonder.

"Your late!" Kurenai yelled at us.

"Am not!" Naruto yelled. Actually we were. I had to go to the bathroom. And Naruto had to wait to ask a girl to show me in. I blushed deeper red at the memory.

"Kurenai…" I brought my finger to my lip, since my other hand was being held by Naruto's stronger ones. "It was my fau-lt."

She sighed. She was clearly nicer to me. Something I could take advantage of as some pointed out. But she was a good teacher and I liked her.

"Take your seats."
"Yo Sai!" Naruto waved out hands in the air and dragged me over to him. Sai had an unemotional voice, or as Sakura told me, he is socially and emotionally retarded. He didn't mean to be, he just had a strange upbringing that made him like that, I could relate to that.

"H-hi Sai."
"Hello Hina." He said in his usual kind way. He only seemed to really pick on Naruto and Choji.

"What did you draw?" Naruto questioned as he sat me down and took his own seat.

"The view outside the window."

"You mean the hokages?"

"Just look at the drawing limp-"

"No such words in my class!" Kurenai called making me jump.

"N-Naruto, can you describe it?" I really wanted to see it, but Itachi had told me not to take this off and truth be told I was scared to. They told me not to take it off when ever something was scary. What would be scary here? But I wasn't brave enough to look.

"Actually it has raised surfaces." Sai told me.

"Awsome!" Naruto said happily and took my hand. I felt my cheeks heat up at the contact.

Carefully he ran my hand across the painting. I could feel it, the houses, the trees, the faces carved in the rocks. Four faces. It was in great detail, even to the smallest crack. I laughed happily.

"It's great Sai."

"Look!" Naruto laughed. "He smiled! I think." He sounded suddenly confused and I giggled till Kurenai got onto us and told us to draw.

I use my byakugan to draw. Drawing chakra into the pencil, I can see the lines it makes as I draw. I learned how to do this when I really wanted to draw something for my mom or something from my brothers. Sasori and Deidara helped me come up with it.

"Hey Hina." Naruto whispered. I could here his pencil still drawing speedily.

"Y-yes?" I whispered back.

"I ordered ramen but I got to many-"

I giggled. "I'll help p-pay if you share."
He laughed. "I will! Thanks Hina!"

We turned back to our own drawings.

"Come on slow pokes!" Naruto yelled laughing pulling Sai and me to our lunch spot out side. How in the world does Naruto have so much energy?

"Naruto!" Ino laughed from somewhere up front of us. "You'll kill them at that pace." Sure enough I was stumbling along and Sai wasn't so hot either.

"Dobe." Sasuke smirked.

"Did my ramen come!" He laughed and stopped suddenly. My foot tripped and I started to fall.

"Baka!" Sakura called. I closed my eyes tight behind the blindfold when someone's arm caught me.

"Got ya." Naruto laughed nervously. My heart started to pound and I quickly tired to stand up. He caught me, just in the wrong place. My chest.

"Idiot." Shikamaru and Choji laughed.

"Oh! I'm sorry Hina!" He tired to right what he did by helping me up all the way. But my foot caught on his as I tried to stand and we fell. One of his hands had accidently touched my chest another one was squashed between out bellies. My hands were both stretched out and unable to hold my new spot I fell am my lips crashed against Naruto's! (A/N: Classic anime style! Accident kiss! Lol. Anyone want a real kiss between the two?)

'Hmm, they're soft. No! Don't think of that! This is my first kiss! Wait, I shouldn't be thinking about that either!'

I gasped and pulled my self back while he began to apologize while trying to sit up. The resulting action bumped out heads together. The natural reaction of that was to grab your hand in pain causing us both fall back down into an even more awkward position. My head fell against his neck and his body scrunched up against mine. I was going to die blushing.

Finally after the others had their laugh Temari, thank the girl pulled me off Naruto and Sakura hit him upside the head. I had my hands covering my lips in shock.

"You dobe." Sauske smirked.

"I read that some girl like the direct approach." Sai commented. Choji laughed.

"You idiot." Skikamaru laughed. "That was some good entertainment."

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled and I felt his hands on my shoulders. I gave a little eepp of surprise.

"Baka!" Sakura warned.

"I'm really really really sorry Hina!" I could hear him bow his head.

"You should be!" Ino warned him. "That was your first kiss wasn't it?"

I nodded speechless.

"I'm reeaally really really really sorry!" He said solemnly.

I patted his shoulder and gave him an awkward smile.

"I-It's alright Naruto." I blushed.

He sighed in relief. "I'll pay full in full for the ramen Hina! And share it with you." He laughed still a little awkward. I smiled.

"Not everything is made better by ramen." Shikamaru mumbled.

His hands went off my shoulders. "Hey Gaara, you got it didn't you?"

"No."

"But!"

"Has any one seen Neji?" TenTen asked.

"Forget that icecube, where is my ramen?" Naruto whined. The kiss forgot from his mind. I sighed and Temari patted my shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's probably killing him." She laughed. I giggled a thank you.

"Neji went home early today." Lee said.

Immediately I was crest fallen. It was my fault. Wasn't it?

TenTen sighed. "I'll go see what's up."
"Wait my youthful friend," Lee shouted already running off after her. "I shall come see to!"

The others laughed and Ino said to me, "Neji gets set off easily sometimes. Don't worry about it." I nodded.

"Ramen…" Naruto sobbed from somewhere.

I never want to be late again. I blamed my bad yet good luck on my late day.

Neji POV (A/N: Yes, it's another Neji POV. Lol)

I walked home, angry. More than angry. Confused and kind of sad.

With a sigh I walked into the Hyuga complex.

"Neji!" Someone called. Hanabi. I stared at her, her cheeks and nose red with fever. I ruffled her hair cutley while she gave me a small pout.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned.

I picked her up and she giggled. She was 11, but still light. "And what are you doing out of bed with that fever?"

She sighed and snuggled against me. Her dad would scorn at this, but I knew he loved his daughter and let it pass with a light smile. He only scorned when an elder was here to see it. He changed since Hinata was taken.

"It feels nice outside Neji." She smiled happily at me. Whith that red glow on her cheeks, she was almost the spiting image of Hinata. Hina…that's is. Hina, could it really be? "what are you doing home?"
"Just frustrated kiddo." I walked into her room. It was soft greens and dark blues. He pillow cases were lavender though.

"Why?" I laid her in her bed and wrapped the covers around her gently.

"Nothing you need to be concerned with." She sighed.

"I'm not a little kid." She stated with her fathers glare. I laughed.

"No, but your not yet an adult." I gave her my rare smile. "Sleep."
She sighed again but with a smile and turned around to sleep. I walked out the door and closed it softly behind me.

"So what has been bothering you nephew?" My uncle asked. I jumped a litte surprised. He raised his eye brow. "Tell me."

Caught. I stared at him, his equally pale eyes boring into mine.

"Hinata." I mumbled.

In an instant, I was sitting down across from him at the table in his study.

"Hinata?" He said harshly. He didn't mean it to come out that way. I turned my head to look at his small stand in the room. A picture of his lovely wife, and a young Hinata, with he mothers fragile features standing with a blond boy. That was the only picture we had of her with such a smile on her sixth birthday. It was in her room.

"Yes uncle."

He sighed sadly. "And what could it be about her."

I really didn't want to tell him this until I myself was sure. But with a small turn of his sad eyes, I let lose.

"The new girl at school can use the Hyuga stance." I said. He stared at me, eyes wide briefly.

"How?"

"Don't know, I havn't actually seen it." I started to tell him how my friend had told me she used it as well as a Huyga but she didn't know where she learned it. "She looks and acts like Hinata did, her name is Hina Yoake."

He looked at me. "And your saying this all why?"
"I'm not sure, but it can't be just a coincidence right?"

He shrugged.

"We'll have to look into this." He sighed. "We'll ask Tusnade-sama. And your sure?"
I nodded.

He gave a sigh again and look at her picture. I knew what he was thinking. The same thing I was. Sorry.

Sorry Hinata for not being there. But next time we will. And we'll save you. If only this girl who was right next to me, if only she was you.
