New students could mean many things to many different people: new friends, rivals, enemies, love interests, or just be another face in the crowd. These students were a new spark in the routine lives of other students, but this student would not be a total mystery like some would hopes. No, the news going around Konohagakure High School was that Nami Hyuga's cousin was coming to Konohagakure for senior year. Nami had been back to the high school to pick up his books and papers, since he had transferred close to the middle of the year, he would have a lot of catching up to do. Nami had let it slip to the secretary Shigeru, who spread it to the other teachers; soon enough the whole school was buzzing with the news of some Hyuga male would be in their school. After the experiences with Nami, most thought that another stuck up student who believed he was better than everyone else was going to be striding down their halls. Some thought that this cousin was just going to blend in to the background until the end of the year.
Then the day came.
The Highs school had yet to open its doors, but upperclassmen students –who had driven to school-, were hanging out in the parking lot with their respective groups and friends. All was peaceful as students conversed, until the roar of an engine broke through a few of them. They looked over and gapped as a black motorcycle with blue and white flames made its way through the parking lot, with its rider's identity hidden by a black helmet. The rider was easily distinguished as a male and some girls swooned as he rode past them. Once the cyclist found an empty parking spot, it took it as its own. Once the engine turned off and conversation did start up again, but most had their eyes on this mysterious man. He was dressed in black jeans that had some wash and wear to them; he also had on black converses, a leather jacket that was zipped up and black fingerless gloves. He got off his bike and put the kick stand down; the car beside him was surrounded by a few girls and they were looking to him intently.
He removed his helmet and shook out his midnight blue hair that was cut short and still stuck out a few places. He turned to face the girls and they blushed at the site of his big lavender colored eyes that looked to shine with a boyish charm. But then after his eyes almost narrowed with a seductive mischief that made knees buckle and hearts leap out of chest. He smirked at the group of girls and gave them a salute as he grabbed his bag off his bike, "Hey there," his voice was smooth and tenor pitch, "what's up?"
"H-hey," one of the girls was able to squeak out as the other waved back at him.
He chuckled lightly as he unzipped his jacket to show that he was wearing a button up dark blue shirt with a black tie, "Cute." He placed his bag's strap on his shoulder, "I hope to see you guys around sometime," he winked to them, "would love to get to know you…better." He then walked off with a smirk on his lips as he was sure he heard one of them pass out against the car. He pocketed his keys and walked up to the school, passing other students who watched him with wary eyes. Oddly enough the school doors were open when he tried to open them and he disappeared into the fairly large school.
"Oh my kami," Kaori Inuzuka looked to her group of friends with a rather large smile. "Did you guys see him! I think I fell in love?" She said dreamily. Satomi Aburame, longtime friend of Kaori and future anthropologist, merely nodded since anything she could have said would not have mattered to her love-struck companion. Kaori was dressed as an average punk girl with skinny jeans, and band t-shirt, and her wild brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. Satomi was dressed in baggy blue jeans and a grey hoodie with glasses concealing her eyes. Satomi hair was a dark color and cut short in a boyish style. "I think that was the Hyuga kid."
"Not with that blue hair," Shika Nara said as she leaned back against her dad's car –that she had borrowed- and closed her eyes. She shoved her hands into her jean pockets and smirked, "I've never seen any Hyuga was that color hair." Shika then fixed her tightly pulled ponytail, "and he looks like a jerk."
"Then who else could it be?" Cho Akimichi said as she looked back to the male's bike. Her brown hair was pulled back in a low ponytail and had bangs covering her forehead. She wore a green vest that was left open to reveal a light yellow shirt; her bottoms where loose fitting blue jeans. "it has to be him."
"Cho does make a point," Satomi added, "and look to his bike; practically brand new." She grabbed her bag out of her car's trunk and looked to the other three, "We will learn the truth in class."
"I really don't care who he is," Kaori said as the four girls walked to the school along with other students, "I'm still in love."
"You said the exact same thing back in middle school when Inoichi helped you pick up your books." Shika said with a smirk as Kaori glared at her with a blush on her cheeks.
"I was young and stupid," Kaori tried to defend herself but the other girls where either smiling or laughing lightly. "You guys will never let that one go! I mean, it's not like you guys have never had those little crushes with someone."
"Yeah, but mine wasn't based on some guy giving five minutes of his time to pick up books for me," Satomi said as she opened the door and held it open for the other three. "And yours barley lasted four days."
"Longer than the one I had on Takeshi."
"Two hours? Yeah, that one was a record time," Shika laughed as Kaori retorted that it was longer than two hours.
(Line Break)
"Okay class," the talking in the room died down as Kashikoi Hatake at the front of the room with the blue haired male at her side, "this is Hansuke Hyuga, your newest classmate." Kashikoi looked around at her honor students and sweat dropped as the girl's in her class had hearts in their eyes. Hansuke waved at the class with a light smirk and then shoved his hands into his pockets. "Just take a seat in this desk right here," Kashikoi motioned to the desk right in the front row, "and everyone else," she said as she walked to her desk and Hansuke sat at his desk, "pull out your text books and go page 394 and begin to read the passage about The War of 1808."
Hansuke pulled out his text book and note book, but as he was about reach into his bag for his pencils, he noticed that the girl beside him kept glancing at him. A devious thought came to his head and he decided to go through with it. "Oh crap…" he muttered under his breath and sat back up with a huff, "on the first day too." He ran his pale skinned hand through his dark hair and looked over to the girl. Her face flushed as she looked away from him since she was sure he had caught her. "Hey," Hansuke smiled as she glanced back at him, "can I borrow a pen or something?" she nodded even as she gave him the black pen that was capped, "thanks so much. I promise to pay you back, okay," he smirked as he uncapped the pen with his mouth. The girl just watched as he chewed on pen cap still in his mouth and continued to take notes on the passage.
Hansuke did his own inner 'I-am-the-greatest' dance as he scanned over the passage. This was what he loved to do, make girls swoon. Hansuke just had an unnatural gift for always being a charmer. It must have had to be something about his great Hyuga and Hiroshi genes; it gave him the DNA that made him tall and well built. His high status meant that he got the better things in life, like great dental and health care so he was as fit as a horse. Maybe Hansuke had attention issues since his father was always so busy with work, his younger brother was off at an Academy for boys in this very city, but Hansuke can never go see him. He was going to go spend time with his cousin that was his childhood playmate, but even she was off at some University that left her with no time to come home. So, even when they had moved in yesterday morning it was just him and the maids and the butlers. He nibbled on the pen cap that he had put on the opposite of the pen; he had been eager to get out and do some more hunting for a date. He glanced at the girl again…no, not her. That would have been too easy.
Hansuke had only been at the school for about an hour, but Nami had always written to him about the school's gossip. Hansuke knew the social standing that these students had already set up and he planned on breaking through them. This girl, she was on the girl soccer team –he knew this from the pin on her book bag- and she was the captain. That is what people would expect, going straight to those popular girls. Well, Hansuke smirked; he didn't want to disappoint them.
Hansuke was a natural born entertainer.
"Please be ready to discuss what you have read so I hope that you have taken some good notes," Kashikoi said as she began to write a few questions on the board.
Hansuke looked down at his notebook and smiled at his little notes and all of his doodles of him as Tuxedo man. 'Man I am awesome,' he smirked as he closed the book and recapped the pen. "Thanks cutie," Hansuke held the pen back out to the girl, "I owe you one."
"N-no problem," she said dreamily as she took the pen back. He just gave another sweet heart smile and turned back to his notebook. He did his inner dance again when he heard her dreamy sigh.
~Free period~
"Hey Sakaye-mesu," Naruko Uzamaki nudged the dark haired beauty as they stood at their lockers, "new guy keep looking at you." Naruko smiled as with her blue eyes shining with delight. Her hair was up in two pigtails and she wore a too big orange and black hoodie that usually fell off her right shoulder with a white tang-top under and baggy jean shorts with worn out running shoes on her feet. "Are you going to take the bait?"
"Please dobe," the Uchiha rolled her onyx eyes and closed her locker, "I'm not stupid like you. I know a player when I see one." Sakaye flicked her black hair back over her shoulder; she was dressed in a maple red off the shoulder shirt that came under her bottom. She also had on black leggings and red converse to match. Sakaye leaned back against her locker and watched Hansuke's back as he rolled up his dress shirt sleeves; even she couldn't deny that he was good-looking. "But talking to him wouldn't hurt either," she smirked as Naruko giggled.
"Don't get too excited," Naruko said and motioned to their left, "Saburo is coming this way."
"Hey Sakaye," the pink haired male said with a smile as he waved at the two. He was dressed in a red a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and his basketball shoes. Beside him was Inoichi Yamanaka, best friend and rival to Saburo Haruno. Inoichi had platinum blonde hair and light blue eyes; he wore a purple sleeves shirt and dark blue jeans with his own basketball shoes. "You guys want to come with us to the café to hang out?"
"Not right now Saburo," Naruko said with a smile, "Sakaye-mesu has a new admirer." She laughed as Sakaye looked to her with a glare and Saburo already looked pissed.
"Are you talking about that Hyuga kid?" Inoichi looked in the direction that the others were. Hansuke was on his phone and just leaning against his locker. "You do know that he has been flirting with every girl he has come across," Inoichi said with a sneer and Saburo nodded in agreement.
"Like you don't Inoichi," Sakaye rolled her eyes as the male just looked away with a blush, since the statement was true. "I'll only talk to him if he comes up to me," she smirked. Saburo just kept looking at him with a glare. Hansuke finally looked up at his phone and looked over to the group that was still looking at him. He pocketed his phone and walked over to them with a smirk on his face and that look in his eyes that just screamed 'I lust for you.' Sakaye made the same eyes back and scoffed, "Let's just see if he can talk as good as he looks."
"Hey there," Hansuke said as he was about five feet from the group, "I noticed that you were looking at me."
"I wasn't though," Sakaye said as they both met eye to eye.
"I wasn't talking to you," Hansuke said with a smirk and then looked to Saburo. "If you wanted to talk to me, don't be shy," Hansuke winked at Saburo and then, as he walked away from them, he held up his hand to the side of his face like he was holding a phone and made a clicking sound with his tongue twice. "Call me hot stuff I'm free this week end!" Everyone looked between Hansuke and the flushed and gapping Saburo. Sakaye was also in a shock, not that Hansuke just hit on Saburo, but that he wasn't hitting on her. Sakaye was hot shit! How dare he not notice her ungodly beauty and great personality!
"I didn't know you rolled for the other team," Naruko said with a blush and was slightly drooling at the thought of what just happened.
"I do not!" Saburo yelled back at her with his cheeks flared up red and his fist clenched tight. "That guy is the one that rolls for the other team."
"It takes one to know one Pinkie," Inoichi said with smug smile and earned a punch from Saburo, "dude…calm down."
"No way in hell," he said with a glare, "I'm pissed."
"Same here," Sakaye said as she seethed with the thought that Saburo was more attractive than her.
~Lunch~
"Hey Hyuga!" Inoichi waved the male over to his table that he and Saburo sat at –much to Saburo's dislike- since the blue haired male was looking around with a bento in his hands. "Come over and take a seat," the blue haired male just nodded and walked over to the two and sat across from the two, "didn't want you to miss your little boyfr-"
"Shut before I kill you," Saburo glared at the blonde and then sneered at Hansuke.
"Don't blow your top Haruno," Hansuke smirked as he opened up his bento, "I'm not that into you, just didn't want you to repress your feelings is all." He pulled out his chopsticks and began to eat his very authentic looking bento. "I actually need to talk to you anyway," he glanced up at them, "I heard that you two are the new captains to the soccer team, and I need a in."
"I don't do favors Hyuga," Inoichi said as Hansuke ate his rice ball. "Unless you've got something to offer to my team," he smirked.
"It's my team Inoichi," Saburo said, "You're only the co-captain. And you," he looked to Hansuke, "you can't get anywhere near the team. All members need training and you are a little late on that."
"What if I prove to be a great player," Hansuke asked and then shoved a peace of sushi in his mouth. He swallowed, "And I am the talk of the school, good publicity for the team." He smirked at the two, "Even the Uchiha can't stop talking about me."
"Out of hate," Saburo said while leaning back in his chair.
"I'm still the only think on her mind though," Hansuke added. "Not to mention that I know that being an athlete has the ladies running." Inoichi had to smile and agree on that one since he did have some lady callers at his door. Hansuke smirked, "So how about I come to the practice after school and just show you what I have to offer. I'll go through your warm ups, maybe a scrimmage game, and then you guys can choose my fate."
"Why not," Saburo shrugged and then took a drink of water, "but don't' get your hopes up pretty boy."
"Oh Haruno," Hansuke glanced at him, "you think I'm pretty," he mockingly batted his eye lashes at him.
"Get a room you two," Inoichi snickered, and before Saburo could yell at them both Hansuke stood up, "where are you going?"
"Need a cheerleader for my try-outs," Hansuke said looking back at the two, "watch and learn boys." The two looked between each other as Hansuke walked towards the lunch line. He spotted the girl was a nice plump frame and could just tell from how she walked and stood that she was just an average girl trying to get through the hell that is high school. He slowly stood right beside her and looked to the desserts that she was eyeing. It was almost too easy. "Don't mean to be a bother," he said softly in hopes that he didn't frighten her too bad. She looked to him and blushed red, "but I'm Hansuke," he held out his hand.
"Ch-Cho," she said as she shook his hand and looked to him with wide eyes.
"Pretty," he smiled at her. "Can I ask you something?" She nodded quickly, "What do you recommend," he looked back to the sweets, "they all look so good that I can't decide."
"Well," she blushed pink as she looked to the desserts, "I-I would have to say that the…chocolate cake is really good. But," she added quickly, "th-that's just me."
"It actually looks really good," he looked back at her, "you busy after school."
"Nope," she said quickly and with a rather large smile.
He chuckled lightly, "You want to come watch me practice? I understand if you don't, but I'd really like to see a pretty face out in the bleachers." Cho blushed and nodded to agree to the offer. "Cool, I don't mind if you want to bring some friends, might get a little lonely on those bleachers." Cho just nodded again since it seemed that the words that escaped her, "I'll see you later Cho." He grabbed the piece of chocolate cake and walked over to pay for it. Cho, on the other hand, went back to her table and had her own fan-girl moment as she explained what the others had watched. Hansuke just smirked as he walked back over to the table, "Piece of cake," he sat down and took a bite of the cake.
"You sly dog," Inoichi smiled, "you are my new friend and idol." They both smiled at each other and gave each other 'thumps up'.
"Idiots," Saburo muttered under his breath.
~Practice~
"Come on guys," Hansuke smiled as he was practically running circles around the players as they tried to catch their breaths, "it was only dead sprints." He laughed as the others glared at him, "If you don't buck up then I'm going to end up replacing one of you," he said as he ran back over to the Coach and the two captains. Hansuke was indeed a great athlete and Kisho Yuhi was dead set on getting this guy on his team. Inoichi just nodded in agreement and kept looking back to his old childhood friends Cho, Shika, and along with Kaori and Satomi sat in the bleachers watching the practice. "What's next coach?" Hansuke stood before them in an old soccer jersey and a pair of shorts and cleats that were all white with hints of red.
"How about a scrimmage," Kisho looked to the captains with a shrug, "I would love to see you play Hyuga. What position are you looking to play?"
"I'm more of a forward coach," Hansuke said lightly, "but I am whiling to take any position I can get." The others team members were finally caught up with him and they all stood there and waited for their next directions. "Okay go team!" Hansuke smiled brightly and ran back out into the field while the others groaned lightly and followed after him.
"That kind must be on drugs," Saburo said as he shook his head as Hansuke looked to be running around trying to find a position he wanted more.
"I'll be sure to do a drug test tomorrow," Kisho added and as he wrote it down on his clip board.
"I can't believe that he got them all here for practice." Inoichi motioned back to the girls.
"Hey Cho!" Hansuke stood in the middle of the field and waved at her, "Wish me luck alright?V I need you girl!" Hansuke then went back to his spot as the left forward as the opposing team just laughed and shook their heads. The other girls giggled as Cho's face burst into flames and they began their cheers for the teams.
"Dear Kami help the woman of this school," Kisho smirked as he looked back to the two teams, "Alright guys let's get this show on the road!" He blew his whistle the scrimmage went on.
~Softball Game~
Hansuke was the talk of the school for the next month and he traveled with Inoichi and Saburo as the power trio. He had made the team and not only was he was a great athlete but a top notch student. Hansuke did become known as a natural born player and he had gone on many dates with many women, but he never took them home, it was just dates. He was really sweet once you got past his outer exterior. Inoichi got to know more about the male and after going to his house for gaming; they noticed that he was actually really lonely. Hansuke's home was always empty of except for workers and Hansuke tried to play it off like it was nothing. Saburo was actually surprised that Hansuke didn't bring girl's home since he was the heir to one of the biggest companies; Hyuga Corporations.
Now, most of the students of Konohagakure High School were at the Shinobi's Softball Team. Most of the girls that Hansuke had knew, and flirted with, were on the team and playing against the Sunagakure's Anbu Softball Team. They were all sitting in the bleachers as the sun was getting closer to the horizon. On Shinobi team was Sakaye as pitcher. Naruko as third base, Kaori second, Satomi first, Cho as the catcher, and Shika as short stop. All the other girls were ones that Hansuke did not know and probably had no interest either. He placed around at the opposing team as the girls got ready to bat and it was the top of the either inning. Hansuke yawned as he looked to his phone and saw that it was about six o' clock and he was getting a bit upset that his home team was losing to his old home team. Hansuke had been a member of Sunagakure High school from his sophomore and junior year and he kind of liked it there.
"You used to play baseball back in Suna," Inoichi asked as the first girl came up to bat.
"Nah," Hansuke shook his head, "I hated standing out in the sun waiting from something to come my way, I like to go out and get it." He smirked as Sakaye struck out the first batter. Most clapped and cheered but Hansuke decided to wait for something better to happen. He then perked up as an old…companion was up to bat. "Hey guys," Hansuke almost purred out, "you know that girl up to bat?"
"Yuri no Sabaku," Saburo said almost questioning him.
"No way dude," Inoichi smirked and slapped the male's arm. "There is no way that you got anywhere near her."
"How much you want to bet?" Hansuke asked with a smug look.
"I'll take you out to dinner," Saburo butted in and with a smile. "And if you're bluffing, you have to do the cheering for our next game."
"You're on hot stuff," Hansuke said with a smirk, "you tell me when the game is over and she is carrying things in her arms."
"I hope you like pom-poms Hyuga," Saburo smirked. Before Hansuke could respond back they thwack of metal hitting a leather ball rang through the air and Suna citizens cheered as star player Yuri no Sabaku hit the ball straight into left field and then took off running. Hansuke cheered as he watched the girls of Konohagakure trying their best to play the ball. By the time Sakaye got the ball back she was glaring in the direction of the red Yuri, who had one foot on second base. "That girl has some speed on her," Saburo shook his head as he took a drink of his soda pop; "I think are team is screwed."
"They're like only down by two and they have the last bating," Inoichi tried to stick up for his home team, "and Sakaye is the first one up to bat."
"She can do it all," Saburo said with a blush.
"Harsh Haruno," Hansuke said with fake hurt, "I am right here you know." Hansuke just laughed as Saburo gave him the finger and even added a 'fuck off' to it. Hansuke just looked back and watched as the Uchiha was taking out her anger on the next batter. "I don't see what is so great about the Uchiha girl," the two looked at him with some question. "I mean, I can see that she is pretty damn hot, but other than that…" he shrugged, "I just don't see anything after that and not to mention that it looks like she is undressing me with her eyes."
"What makes you think that?" Inoichi asked.
"Cause I do the same look when I look to that blonde haired girl at third," Hansuke smirked, "I can only imagine what she hides under that orange hoody."
"Please don't say things like that about one of my best friends," Saburo said with a shutter, "And her name is Naruko dumbass."
"Look here hot stuff," Hansuke sat back as the girl was struck out, "When you are as charming as I am, names are unimportant. Nick names, especially cute ones, show a new level in a relationship and girls love them." He smirked, "And once I see that this girl is worth my time, I remember her name."
"You are an evil bastard genius Hyuga," Saburo smirked. "So if I call Sakaye by a nick-name, she'll love me?"
"No dude she fucking hates you," Hansuke said, "You've been too desperate man," he shook his head. "I mean," he looked to Saburo, "You showed her you want her by your constant asking out and 'nice-guy flirting'. It's too late; you will always be her 'puppy'. All you do is follow her around and beg for treats." Hansuke patted his shoulders, "So it is time for you to move on and start fresh. You'll throw girls off since you'll say 'I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are.' And since you liked Sakaye for so long…"
"And she is the resident hottie…" Inoichi began to catch on.
"The girl is going to be in my bed in less than thirty seconds." Saburo smiled big.
"If that's what you want then sure," Hansuke said as another girl was struck out.
"Okay while we are on this topic," Inoichi began to speak in more hush tones, "have you ever been laid Hyuga?"
"I've been offered plenty of times…but no," he admitted as he looked back out into the field.
"You have had girls practically dropping their panties at the site of you," Inoichi looked to be baffled, "how are you a virgin?"
"As hard as it to believe," Hansuke said almost mockingly, "I'm not looking for sex…I just like the attention." Hansuke smiled lightly, "I don't know what it is, but I love flirting with people, I like to make people want me, and I really enjoy seeing people get tongue tied at the site of me. And it's not like I haven't been in some really hot make-out sessions, but I'm not looking for anything after that."
"Why the hell not?"
"I'm a flirt, not a man-whore."
"It's probably because you have mommy issues," Inoichi said but was then pushed out of his seat and onto the ground.
"I don't have mommy issues so keep that damn mouth shut," Hansuke threatened with a glare and then went back to watching another girl hit a line drive. Everyone was on their feet cheering, but Hansuke helped Inoichi back to his seat and just watched the ground with intensity. He watched as the girls switched but he wasn't really paying any attention. The game ended with everyone cheering as Sakaye brought in the winning run; Hansuke just clapped as they team shook hands and everyone began to leave. "I'm going home-"
"Hold up Hyuga," Saburo said as the three stood up. He pointed, "Let's see you fail."
Hansuke looked over to see that Yuri was carrying a bunch of bats over to where her team was going. He put his forefingers in his mouth and whistled loudly. Yuri looked over to the noise and once she spotted Hansuke she dropped the bats. Yuri starred at him with a bright red face with steam coming out of her ears. Hansuke just smirked and gave a light wave along with a wink. Hansuke then turned away, "Told you hot stuff," Saburo gapped at the site of Yuri still standing there in a daze. "Come on," Hansuke slapped Saburo's butt, "hope you have a debate card, since I am not a cheap date."
"You sure you're not gay?" Inoichi asked but was then punched in the jaw. "What the hell is with hitting me today?"
"Cause you're a moron!"
~Study Hall~
"Please keep it down," Amaya Sarutobi said in a bored tone as she sat back in her desk. The whole class seemed to ignore her since it was the end of the day, they were seniors, and there was nothing else to do but talk. Hansuke was sitting in his usual set in the front room left corner just so he could look out the window without much trouble. Lately, Hansuke hadn't been his usual 'I'm-going-to-seduce-you' personality anymore. He was becoming the silent brooding type. Sure, the girls still flocked to him, but he wasn't trying anymore. Saburo and Inoichi were the only real friends that he had and brought up the subject of his change a few times, but he always waved it off.
"Hey…H-Hansuke," he glanced up from his daydreaming to see that Shika was standing there with her notebook held close to her chest and looked away with a faint blush on her cheeks. "Did you get the Calculus homework?" Hansuke nodded and she held the notebook tighter, almost crushing it. "Can…can you help m-me?"
"Yeah sure," he said as he opened up his book and flipped to the page, "what do you need help on?"
"The last one-" Shika was cut off when she was about to sit down, Kaori pulled her away and took the seat that was right next to Hansuke.
"Hey there," Kaori said with a smirk as she propped up her elbows on the desk, "you busy later?"
"Yes."
Kaori blinked at his blunt answer and at the fact that he didn't bother to look at her, "you don't' even know what time I was-"
"I'll be busy then."
"You're being a real ass," Kaori glared, "what happened to Konohagakure's Casanova?"
"I'm actual busy today-"
"Don't bother mutt," Sakaye said with a scoff, "he's been doing this all damn day-"
"Today is the anniversary of my mother's death," Hansuke said while he stood up and glared at Sakaye, "are you both happy now?" He growled out at the two and walked out of the room even as Amaya threatened detention. But he was already gone. The room was tense and the silence was enough to choke someone and kill them; Sakaye tried to look un-phased, but inside she was being eaten by her guilt. Kaori just slammed her head on the desk and groaned loudly.
"Now I'm the ass-hole," she scolded herself, "stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"Way to go," Shika said with a glare, "trying to act cool."
"Coming from the girl that pretended not to understand her homework just to talk to him," Sakaye said with a sneer in Shika's direction.
"Come on Saburo," Inoichi stood up, "we have a bro in need."
"I don't think that Hyuga wants us around him," Saburo said even though he still followed Inoichi out of the room. Amaya was scolding them the whole time but they just waved it off. "I think it's best to leave him alone."
"Don't be a dick Saburo," Inoichi said as he looked at him sternly, "we have to cheer him up in some way. Now," he put his arm around Saburo's shoulder, "you've spent the most time with him, since your both honor kids. What does he like?"
"Well," Saburo thought from a moment, "this guy has a huge sweet tooth, especially for cinnamon rolls."
"How much cash you got on you?"
"Dude," Saburo smirked as he pulled out a plastic credit card, "I got my dad's card." They both hi-fived and went to their cars.
(Line Break)
Hansuke on his living room floor before the cabinet where his mother's photo and tablet was placed. Both doors were opened wide to reveal the delicate wood frame that surrounded his mother, who was dressed in her wedding kimono with flowers in her hands. He just starred at the picture in silence with his knees pulled up so close to his chest that his lips were touching his knees. Hansuke was alone in the house again, as in; he even gave all the workers the day off just so the house would be completely empty. Hansuke had already sent Haru his birthday gift –his mother's death and Haru's birth share this day- and he his father already called in that he was just going to stay at his hotel since by the time his meetings would be done, it would be pointless to drive all the way back home.
Hansuke glanced to the bucket of cleaning supplies that only got used this day. He was supposed to be cleaning the picture, candle holders, and the wood cabinet while he was at it. He wasn't sure what was keeping him from doing his job, but it was working pretty well. He just continued to sit there and wonder about what his mother would be doing now, if she was still alive. Would she be cooking? Maybe gardening? Perhaps she would be sitting in Hiashi's study on her favorite by his desk and reading? Hansuke would be on the ground next to her seat and would also be reading or drawing. What would she say about him bringing home girls for movies and a study night that turned into something heated? She would be disappointed with him.
Hansuke glared, "It's your fault I am like this…I need someone to want me, to think I'm nothing less than perfection." Hansuke didn't want to blame her, but she left him without warning, without someone to look after her, and not even a goodbye. Haru didn't know her, Hiashi refused to talk about her, Hizashi would pity Hansuke, and Nami wasn't the person to look to for comfort. So, he was just left with a picture. Hansuke sighed and sat up while crossing his legs; "I guess I better get to cleaning…" he trailed off as he heard a car engine pull closer to his house and then the engine was killed. He heard the faint sound of rustling bags and two people arguing. He slowly got to his feet as the noise seemed to be right outside his door. Hansuke was about ready to reach for the gun that Hiashi had kept hidden, but the unmistakable sound of his only friends made him sigh.
"Hyuga!" Inoichi was kicking the door hard, "Pause the sadness parade so we can brighten up your gloomy weather!"
"I think that almost mad me throw up," Saburo.
Hansuke opened the door and the two bragged in, kicking off their shoes. They were carrying stuffed brown paper bags and set them down on the living room table. "What are you two doing?"
"What part of, 'brighten up your gloomy weather,' did you not understand honor nerd?" Inoichi smirked as he unpacked all the junk food that they had bought. Hansuke just watched; "Sure," Inoichi turned and faced him, "we have been friends for like….a month and a half? But I feel that we are like brothers Hyuga. Even though half the time I think you're an ass-face that is hogging all the hot chicks…" he smirked, "you're still my brother….who may be gay for this brother." He motioned to Saburo, who just sweat dropped.
"Not to mention," Saburo pulled out a few white candles, "you lost your mom. No man can go through losing their first girl." Saburo smiled at him and Hansuke smiled back lightly. "Where is everyone anyway?"
"Dad is working, brothers still at the Academy, and all the workers have been given the day," Hansuke shrugged like it was no big deal. "Just like every year," he walked back over to the altar and smirked back at the two. "Why don't you guys be useful and help me make this decent looking for my mother." The two boys smiled and walked over to where Hansuke was and began to clean. Hansuke got to work on his mother's photo and the candle holders, Saburo cleaned the inside wood, and Inoichi cleaned the outside.
"What's her name?"
"Hinako Hyuga."
"Your mom is pretty hot Hyuga."
"Gross."
"My dad says that I look more like a Hiroshi than a Hyuga. Sometimes people don't believe that I'm his son."
"You think anyone will ever be as good looking as your mom? I mean, some boys get so attached to their mothers that they want someone who will be just like her."
"That is really creepy that you know that."
"He does make a point. My mom loved me, like she was the only one in this house that showed it anyway. She believed in me no matter what…that's seems to be something I want in a wife too."
"Naruko is kind of like that."
"I think it is clear that she is head over heels for you Haruno."
"Cho is pretty good-"
"Don't hook him up with my dad's friend's daughter. I don't want Cho being played along."
"Who says I'll play her along?"
"Ask the fifteen other girls that thought they were 'the one'."
"I told all of them that it was just a simple date, not my marriage proposal to them."
"What about Kaori? She's not in it for a relationship-"
"Who says I don't want a relationship?"
"Those same fifteen girls."
"Shut up Yamanaka."
Saburo was about to say something as Hansuke began to put the things back and light the candles, but his phone began to ring. "Hello?" he answered as Hansuke and Inoichi were already kneeled before the picture, "I really don't-" he pulled the phone away as the other person was yelling. "Okay! Okay…" he said back, "just be quick." He then hung up and looked at them. "Good news," he smiled, "Sakaye is coming over. Yaaa~" Hansuke just remained silent. Saburo pleaded, "Come on Hyuga! She just wants to apologies for what she did." The Hyuga just huffed and pouted like a child. "Let's eat some of this junk food until she gets here."
"Not in the mood-"
"I bought Cinnamon rolls." Inoichi sang out and Hansuke paused for a moment and then followed the two back to the table. "God, you are a cheap date." Hansuke only smiled as he sat on the sofa with the box of rolls on his lap. "They're all yours buddy, hope you don't get fat." Saburo chuckled as he grabbed a bag of chips and sat down by Hansuke and Inoichi sat down on Hansuke's other side and opened a container of ice cream. "Get me a spoon Hyuga."
"Sure," Hansuke said with a large bite of the roll in his mouth. He went to the kitchen and came out with three bowls, plates, spoons, and napkins. He took one of the plates and placed the smallest roll on it. He walked over to the altar and placed the plate before the photo of his mother; "She was never a big fan of sweets, but she did enjoy these once in a while."
"Where did you get this sweet tooth from then?" Saburo asked as Inoichi turned on the TV.
"Surprisingly," Hansuke smiled as he sat back down, "I got it from my grandfather on my dad's side. That man used to eat nothing but sweets even during his business meetings." Inoichi and Saburo just nodded and about fifteen minutes into the show, someone knocked on the door and then came inside since Hansuke never locks the door. "Hello Uchiha," Hansuke waved at her without actually looking at her.
"Don't sound too excited to see me," she said with a smirk and she held out the bouquet of marigolds that were a bright red. "I hope that your mother can forgive me for being mean to her son." Hansuke smirked and motioned for her to follow her into the kitchen with him. "What are you guys doing?"
"Chillin' in the man cave," Saburo and Inoichi said in unison and then fist bumped with one another.
Sakaye nodded and Hansuke took the flowers from her without her knowing. She watched as he filled up a glass vase with water and then placed the flowers in; he was actually very gentle when it came to arrange the flowers again. "Thank you Uchiha," she looked up at him as he smiled at her. It was an actual smile, one with the feeling deep in his eyes and almost made him glow. It was special since all the other smiles were to make the girls love him, but this one was just for her. "These were on of my mother's favorites, she will appreciate them very much." He turned off the water and just looked at the flowers.
"Don't call me Uchiha anymore," she said suddenly and Hansuke looked at her. "I do not want to be stuck as a friend. I want something more than that."
"As adorable as that is," Hansuke smirked, "I don't call you Uchiha because we are friends." He picked up the vase and carried it over to the altar. She followed him out and huffed as she leaned against the wall. "In all truth, we are not friends, since every time we talk we get into a fight."
"No we don't!" She glared at him and the other two boys just laughed. "Shut it," she blushed and pouted.
"And I only remember your name for about one reason," he admired the lit altar. "I kind of respect your existence."
"Oooo," Sakaye smirked, "I think I might faint."
"You should," Saburo said, "He never remembers any other girls name except for Cho, Shika, and Naruko. And he never says their names," he waved his hands in the air for effect.
"But," Sakaye jumped when Hansuke was right next to her with his arm around her shoulders. He moved her chin so she was looking at him, "I can make some…adjustments so that we can be more aquatinted for another name." His nose was barley touching her own and she felt her face grow very hot, "How about it, Hun?" Sakaye opened her mouth to talk but she was left with her voice not working. Hansuke only chuckled and kissed the side of her mouth, "Too cute Hun." Sakaye promptly passed out and Hansuke sighed, "Every time…" he picked her up bridal style and laid her on the love seat. "You guys have to take her home."
"Dude," Inoichi pointed to the TV, "I didn't plan on leaving, and this is an all-night marathon."
"Then you have to put her in the guest room later," Hansuke said while sitting back in his spot, "this has been a great day."
"Nothing like spending the night with your mom, bros, and some girl that wants to get in your pants."
"Thanks pig," Saburo made a face, "that was pretty sentimental."
"I try man…I try."

Okay…not much of Hansuke as a player, but writing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Next up will be another Try-Out story for the GB series. I will take a few more request and I hope you all have enjoyed.
Ja Ne.
