I Wonder What It's Like
Chapter 29
Hinata stumbled back into the couch and rolled to the side as Sakura pulled back to punch again. She crouched and slid her leg across the ground, tripping Sakura. "This isn't something to do inside," Hinata growled as she wiped her hand across her mouth. She went to walk away, but the minute she got out to the back, she was shoved from behind and fell onto the concrete by the pool. She groaned as she felt her knees get scraped up. Before she knew what was happening, Hinata had been shoved into the pool. And now, she was pissed.
Hinata swam up to the surface and took a breath. She swam up behind Sakura who was bragging about having beat Hinata, and yanked her left ankle and found herself smiling as she heard her crash onto the hard cement deck. Hinata used the time Sakura spent making sure she was okay to pull herself out of the pool. "Aw, you fell," Hinata muttered with a smile as Sakura pushed herself up.
"You really think you can beat me?" Sakura asked and then started rambling off the reasons that there was no way in hell that Hinata could ever beat Sakura Haruno. Some of which were her popularity and her beauty and a bunch of other bull shit reasons.
Sakura didn't look like she was going to stop any time soon. Hinata shook her head and clenched her right fist, and without a second thought clocked Sakura in the face, smiling at the fact that the force of it was enough to know the pink haired demon on her ass. "What was that?" Hinata asked with a smile. She took a step back as Sakura stood up. Now that she was expecting Sakura as a fighter, she could work on defending herself and then working on knocking Sakura out if she didn't want to stop.
Sakura wiped at her mouth and spit out a bit of blood. She raised her hands and looked ready to claw Hinata's eyes out. Hinata knocked Sakura's hands down and then jumped to the side when Sakura went to charge at her again and found herself laughing as Sakura fell into the pool. "You BITCH!"
Sakura climbed out of the pool, and when she went to hit Hinata, she ducked out of that way and then punched her in the face and watched as the girl fell back into the pool. As Sakura was climbing out again, Naruto, Sasuke, Shino and a random group of people came closer to watch the fight. "Hinata," She heard Shino call out, and she looked over to see him just in time to end up on the ground with Sakura on top of her punching her in the face and stomach as hard as she could. Hinata took a shaky breath and managed to get her arms up in front of her face to block the hits. She reached up and grabbed Sakura's neck, she watched the girl's emerald eyes widen and took the moment to use the momentum and flip them so she was on top.
She punched Sakura in the face once more before taking her head and slamming it into the cement, Hinata stood up as Sakura slowly lost consciousness and took the moment to wipe her bloody lip. She turned to Shino as Kiba walked up. "I'm done. Let's go," She stated as she sneered in Sakura's direction.
"Hinata…What happened?" Kiba asked concerned before looking down at Sakura.
"I put her in her place when she went to attack me," Hinata stated coldly. "This party doesn't change anything, Kiba," She stated icily as she walked towards the gate to the front of the house with Shino.
"Hinata, Shino," Kiba called after them, but felt that following them wouldn't do any good. He watched them leave and then looked back at Sakura. He sighed knowing he couldn't just leave her there, so he picked her up and took her to a guest bedroom to lay down.
The drive back to the Hyuuga residence was silent. Shino wasn't sure how to start a conversation up with Hinata, he had never seen her in a fight before. He knew she would be able to hold her own, but he had never known her to fight back if and when people started anything with her. She'd take the high road and try to walk away. And if she was feeling down or like she deserved it, she let the person keep hitting her until they were finished.
He pulled into her driveway and watched as she slowly got out of the car. She waved and walked up to her door and let herself in. Shino sighed and pulled out and headed to his own home. Hinata walked up to her room quietly and closed her door behind her. She changed out of her wet clothes and grabbed her old cell phone from her top dresser drawer. She placed the necessary cards from her soaked phone into her old phone and started it up. She watched as a couple of texts from Gaara popped up and sighed. Without a second thought, she hit the call button and flopped down on her bed.
"Hello?" He sounded slightly concerned since the texts were from a couple of hours ago.
"Hi," She said quietly, finding herself smiling in no time. "Sorry, I kind of lost my phone for awhile."
"It's cool. So did you end up going to that party?" Gaara asked, and she could hear the curiosity in his voice.
"Yeah. It's how I managed to lose my phone. It got soaked and is now dead," She mumbled as she looked at the phone she had laying on her dresser. "I don't know if I should even attempt the rice trick or not," Hinata stated with a sigh.
"Well if it's insured, maybe you can just trade it up," Gaara suggested, and she found herself nodding.
"True. Well I'm going to go and blow dry my hair, I'll talk to you later," She told him with a smile on her face again.
"Talk to you later," Gaara said, and she heard the phone click as he hung up. She put the phone on her bed and walked into the bathroom to blow dry her hair. After managing to get it dried off, she walked back into her room and flopped onto her bed. She was going to be sore tomorrow, but she would not change any of her actions even if she could. Sakura deserved every bruise, cut and scrape that she got, and then some.
Without another thought, she turned off her lights and went to bed.
The next morning Hinata woke up sore. She made her way to the bathroom and looked in to the mirror. She had a fat lip and a small cut on her cheek, thankfully there weren't any other obvious indications that she was in a fight the night before. She had a couple of scrapes on her knees, and a bruise here or there, but nothing that overly horrifying.
She touched the cut on her cheek and shrugged it off. She started her shower and stripped out of her pajamas. After a relaxing, hot shower, Hinata found herself sitting in the living room watching a movie that was on. Her mind went back to the night before, the group of people that gathered around her while her and Sakura went at it. How was this going to affect the school year that was about to start?
