Temari woke up to the sound of slight screams. She groaned as she realized that the muffled voices were those of her younger brothers. Placing a pillow over her head she tried to block out their voices but failed terribly. Growling like an animal she stomped to the kitchen where the siblings were bickering.
"Gaara I think I would know whether or not Onigiri should be that color, after all many women have cooked for me!" The middle child announced with a look of mockery in his eyes. Gaara remained unaffected and stared back at him with his arms crossed.
"Those women tried to poison you, and Onigiri isn't supposed to be brown. You failed once again," Gaara's eyes burned into his older brother's head as he stared at him. Temari stood in between the two and swiftly slammed her fists onto their noggins.
"I could have been sleeping for 10 more minutes you know! Your damn bickering woke me up! I'll pick up lunch from the store so clean this mess up," Temari demanded as she clapped her hands for emphasis. They brothers denied her requests and stood still with their arms crossed over their chests.
"You know, I could always spit in your food and then laugh as you eat it," Temari said as she began to walk toward the bathroom. Behind her the boys scrambled to cleaning as they both knew Temari followed through with her threats. Kankuro mumbled about his older sister and rolled his eyes. Kankuro was basically the man of the house ever since their parents died. Kankuro and Temari both had part time jobs that paid well and left them enough things for the rent and other things.
"Do you think she's stressed?" Gaara asked his brother as he passed him a plate to dry off. Kankuro was a bit surprised at the question but thought about the answer with a smile.
"We're all stressed, little bro. Do you have your appointment today?" Kankuro asked as he saw Gaara sigh tiredly.
"Yeah, Naruto is driving me there. Yesterday I was able to sleep though. I think I'm getting better or something," Gaara informed with a slightly relieved voice. Kankuro almost dropped the plate and stared at his brother with a look of shock.
"How long were you able to sleep?" the male asked as he put the last dish in the cabinet. Gaara leaned on the counter and faced the ceiling.
"Around 5 hours. I went to sleep at 3 and woke up to your alarm at 8. Oh yeah that damn thing is annoying, no one wants to hear Hatsune Miku so early in the morning," Gaara complained.
"What!? Are you trying to insult my wife, bro?" Kankuro said seriously and made Gaara chuckle a bit.
"Yeah because she's real," Gaara teased as he took off his blue vest, there was going to be a heat wave for the whole week.
"Well I'm heading out first, I won't be home until around seven today," Kankuro said as he ruffled Gaara's hair and left. The red haired male sighed as he thought of his siblings. They had basically sacrificed their free time and sanity just for him. They even banned him from working until 18 years old. After their parents died, Gaara had suffered from Insomnia and they stood by him every second. Through every tear, memory, and sleepless night, they were there cooing warm words.
"I should really thank them," Gaara said aloud as he was still in thought, he didn't realize his sister creep up behind him.
"Thank who, Elmo?" Temari announced as she wrapped her arm around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Gaara blushed and glared at his sister.
"My name is not Elmo!" Gaara announced as he crossed his arms, pouting; "Besides hurry up so that we can finally leave!" Temari smiled at his eyes and realized that he had gotten some sleep finally. She was just a bit upset he couldn't sleep any longer.
"Whatever you say Elmo!" Temari teased as she grabbed her bag and ran away from her younger brother. Gaara chuckled and locked the door to the apartment before running after her.
Shikamaru walked around with his back slumped a little more than usual. He had broken his right hand when he ran down the block and tripped over someone's obnoxious foot. His mother had laughed in his face at the hospital and complained how it was his own fault. Shikamaru had wanted to smother himself. A few people signed his cast and he found it completely stupid. It wasn't like he was going to keep the stupid cast. Shikamaru sighed as he leaned back on the steps and looked up at the sky. He heard familiar giggling and recognized the voice as none other than Ino. He gritted his teeth and controlled the urge of giving her the dangerous finger. Shikamaru kept hit vision on the sky and looked at a cloud that seemed to look like a finger. He chuckled, odds are even the heavens are thinking that Ino deserves the finger. His view was blocked by hands and he was instantly irritated. The finger cloud was going to pass by soon and he would miss it.
"Guess who, Nara," The person demanded and watched as Shikamaru fidgeted slightly. After a moment the person was getting a bit irritated as well.
"Temari," He answered as he removed her hands and saw Ino hovering over him with a smile on her face.
"Oh I did a really good Temari impersonation," Ino gushed as she clutched her face. Shikamaru's face switched into a frown and he quickly stood from his previous position.
"Yeah but nothings better than the real thing." Temari nodded at Ino before continuing, "What happened to your hand Nara?" Ino noticed how Shikamaru gave a slight smile and how his eyes twinkled in response to seeing the fierce blonde.
"Long story, but I acted really stupid," Shikamaru responded as he lifted his hand slightly. Temari busted out laughing as she tried to think of Shikamaru doing something stupid enough, so that he breaks his hand. Temari's laughter died down and she wrapped her arm around his neck.
"At lunch sit with me so that you can tell me your embarrassing story," Temari said as she completely ignored the other blonde present.
"It's a date then. C'mon lets go to Advisory Temari, later Ino," Shikamaru muttered the last part and grabbed Temari's hand as he dragged her away.
"Nara! You can't just drag me wherever you want me to go!" Temari yelled but hadn't really resisted. Ino watched the whole thing and managed a smile.
'That bastard may like me but he loves her. I can see it,' Ino thought as she went back to her friends with a slight smile that made her form seem to be glowing.
Neji woke up to the knocking of Nelly's (the maid) slight knocking. He answered her and watched as a grin on her face grew.
"May I come in young master?" she asked politely despite the excitement that was etching onto her voice. He allowed her in and she closed the door before she started gushing like a fan girl.
"Young master Hinata's wearing a short sleeved shirt today!" Nelly announced as she blushed and rubbed her cheeks. Not being the pervert that Nelly is he questioned her antics.
"What does that have to do with me?" Neji asked as he looked at his watch and decided that he would drive his sisters to school today.
"She isn't wearing a vest and that means that her massive assets will be free to bounce around! There will be hormonal teenagers and she's going to need some protection from them!" Nelly announced as she made hand gestures of Hinata's boobs. Neji blushed and shooed her out of his room. The image had come to mind and he knew that he would need a cold shower if he let his mind wander.
"Neji hurry up already! What the hell are you doing up there?" Hanabi's voice boomed into his room. Neji rolled his eyes and walked down stairs really slowly just to piss her off. Hanabi saw this and would have tackled him if Hinata wasn't around. Neji smirked as his youngest sister was held down by Hinata.
"You know boys wont like an aggressive woman," Neji informed her as he poked her forehead, only causing Hanabi to be even angrier.
"Go to school!" Hiashi yelled as through his office door. Hanabi stopped her struggling and instead held out for giving Neji the finger. Hinata looked at the time and stared at the staircase longingly.
"Well let's go guys. You will take backseat in the car," Neji said as he walked away after addressing Hanabi. She ran after him holding out her fists. Hinata looked at the door then at the staircase, before running upstairs to her room. She opened the door to reveal Misaki looking surprised as she trying to leave before Hinata entered the room. Hinata greeted her with a smile that Misaki seemed to return halfway.
"What was taking you so long Misaki?" The heiress inquired as she grabbed Misaki's hand. Misaki seemed to tense up and then slightly shook her hand off from Hinata.
"I was daydreaming sorry," Misaki answered softly as she walked passed Hinata without sparing her a glance. Hinata watched Misaki's back and felt like someone bashed a dent into her heart.
Sakura watched as the Hyuuga car rolled up and Gaara walked up to it. Her pink hair swayed in the wind as she heard the first bell signaling that class was getting ready to start. Sakura spared one last glance at Gaara's troubled face before she walked into the building with a blush adorning her pouted cheeks. Seeing Naruto writing on a teacher's door with a devilish look, she started to run down the hallway.
"Naruto!" Sakura screeched as she kicked him in the face, sending him flying down the hallway. Giving a huff of her breath she smiled as she heard her name being called.
"Haruno-san we have morning meeting today," one of her classmates said as he ushered for her to follow him. Nodding she followed with a smile and they chatted on the way about nonsense.
Lunch Time
Sasuke carefully watched as everyone chatted and smiled amongst each other. He was basically starving since his mother hadn't woken up this morning and his brother didn't want to cook for him. His stomach growled loudly and he watched as everyone around his table stopped talking and stared at him with sly grins. Taking into defense he glared at everyone
"What?" He barked coldly and it seemed to have no effect on them since the grins on their face stayed.
"Is the little Uchiha hungry? Did his lovely older brother not make him food?" Naruto teased with the biggest grin on his face that if stretched a little more could maybe go across his whole head. Laughter roared between the table and Sasuke felt like he had a blow to his pride.
"Yeah but at least my brother can make me edible food unlike that rotten ramen you eat," Sasuke retorted and was satisfied when 'ohs' went through the table as well. Naruto was going to make an annoying comeback when Misaki roughly sat down with her lunch with a sad looking Hinata following closely behind. The air turned from light to a really tense one. Everyone looked at the other and sweat dropped down everyone's forehead.
"What's going on with everyone," Misaki asked as she took a bite out of her sandwich. Tenten was the first to answer with a proud smirk.
"Well Temari and Shikamaru are eating together on the roof if you catch my drift, and best of all, Neji is at the nurse's office with a nosebleed," Hinata was about to get up before Sakura placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Hinata he's fine. I was there when he arrived at the office," Sakura assured her friend and Hinata visibly relaxed at the reassurance. Naruto and Sasuke watched her with ease. Though Hinata had a smile on her face she was still thinking about what happened only moments before.
~Flashback~
Hinata walked with Misaki and they were walking in silence. Misaki had basically ignored the heiress for the whole day, only making few word comments. So like a lost puppy, Hinata was following Misaki around with a sad expression. Hinata ran into her best friend's back when she suddenly stopped.
"Stand back," Misaki ordered under her breath so that only Hinata could hear. Hinata being a bit curious she peeked a bit from Misaki's back and gasped when she saw Karin with about 5 more girls in back of her.
"Hello skanks," Karin greeted with a shallow smile. Misaki seemed unaffected and just smiled back at Karin.
"Your breath is still making my eyes water whore," Misaki announced as Karin had to be held back by her friends. Hinata was about to pull Misaki away when Karin spoke again.
"You shouldn't be talking! You're dad is in rehab, you're mother killed herself and you're in love with a girl!" Karin spat at them and gave off an unattractive grunt. Misaki seemed to tense and then tightened her fists.
"You're right about everything. For once in your fucking life you're right. But bitch, that girl I love happens to be way better looking than you'll ever be!" Misaki screeched as she was held back by Hinata. Karin and her little group walked off with muttered insults. Hinata still held onto Misaki and tried to look at her face for an answer to her love interest.
"Get off of me Hinata, I don't need this right now," Misaki shrugged her hand off and started to walk away, leaving behind to follow an almost to tears Hinata.
~End of Flashback~
Sasuke watched the object of his affections and saw how sad she looked. He called her name and shoved his thumb finger into his chest.
"In two days how about we go on a date," Sasuke announced to her as he looked her dead in her eyes with boredom etching into his voice though his eyes were pleading for her to say yes. Everyone's jaw hung open and Misaki was the only person to get up. Thinking she was going to throw something away Sasuke paid no mind to her and kept his eyes on Hinata rather than on everyone else. Hinata was blushing and fidgeting with her fingers, as she stuttered without a purpose.
"So what's your answer?" Sasuke said before Misaki gave a good right hook to his face. When he fell out of his chair, Misaki looked at Naruto and gave him a good punch as well. Surprised everyone ran to either Sasuke's or Naruto's side except for Hinata who stood in her chair. Misaki stomped out of the lunch room and walked to the nurse's office. She entered it and saw that Neji was just about to leave. She glared at him and gave him a good punch to his face as well. His nose was bleeding once again and he was livid. Misaki was officially on a rampage!
This is the end. Sorry for the wait, and notice how Misaki only punched the boys who liked Hinata? I sense some jealousy. Well I hoped you enjoyed folks
