icy eyes.
hair undone
The hollows of cheeks shaking in anger

" please wake up "
She snapped and jumped awake as she startled the women curing her of her sleep. Opening her light purple eyes she realized the bus had stopped. The older women in front of her smiled at her gently.
"Yes where are we ?"
"It's the 24 hour mark your ticket came with a room hotel the bus will be back approximately at 6:30 am "
Hinata looked out at the fancy Hotel. It were creamy white with golden windows and doors.
"You should be able to check in with only your ticket "
Hinata nodded standing up. Grabbing her leather bag from above and exited with a few passengers. Looking around she saw Sand everywhere blowing in the air. Sand city. She hadn't been out of Hakone ever. Nervously she walked in through the double doors and saw a grand lobby. Not many people were there probably because of how late it was. Walking to the desk she rang the golden bell.
An employee came from around the back with full sleepy eyes.
"Ticket please "
She handed it over. "Room 111 I'll get a bell hop"
"No no need " Hinata said with a scratchy voice. "Do you know where I could get something to drink "
"Yeah at the Bar it's just after the Lobby"
Hinata smiled "oh thank you "
Walking away she crossed the marbled floor lobby and saw a dark room behind gold French doors. Walking in she saw people everywhere talking, drinking and laughing as a jazz band was on stage with a beautiful singer. She saw a man in a vest and assumed he worked there.
"Excuse me um no one offered a table where should I sit ?" she asked nervously. She watched plenty of movies to know a waitress should accompany you.
The man looked at her up and down. "Sit where you like" he rudely spat.
Her smile left as she looked around. There were mostly couples at the tables looking around she saw a few people by themselves in front of what she presumed was the "bar". Her father had one like it at home she also seen enough movies to recognize you get drinks from there.
Walking up to it she sat down next to a person who's head was down laying on the wooden surface with her cotton candy silk like hair sprawled out. She's holding on to an empty glass with melting ice.
"What would you like ?" The tender asked her
Her eyes traveled from the women next to her to the man in front of her "Water please "
"Tonic ? With Gin ?" The man asked her.
She were confused but the ginger could calm her stomach down. She nodded to him and watched as he did all kinds of tricks grabbing different bottles pouring it into a glass sliding it to her. Hinata was very thirsty she didn't pay first before taking a drink. She felt her throat catch fire spitting it back out into the glass she began coughing
"That'll be 18.00 "
Hinata gasp then squinted her eyes that's was not water, and he's trying to rip her off. "18 bucks for water and ginger ?"
The person next to her began chuckling as they rolled up. Hinata saw long pink hair fall as she spoke with the most gentle and welcoming voice
"Sir she just wants water " the stranger laughed again then looked at Hinata. Next thing she noticed was greenish blue eyes that captivated you. Hinata could feel a blush on her cheek she never seen anyone who looked like this. Only pale skin and pale eyes is what's she's use too.
"Here " The girl with the sea green eyes said handing the worker a 20.00 "I'll take her drink and could you get the girl a glass of water "
"How How much ?" Hinata asked nervously.
The girl began laughing again. "Water is free "..."you must be seriously sheltered "
Hinata blushed became permanent pouting she placed her hands on the glass and drank. The cool water cooling her throat and chest.
The amusement coming from the girl next to her made her smile and chuckle at herself.
"Let me pay you back " Hinata offered
Turning She watched as the girl took a swig of the drink Hinata mistakenly ordered. Pulling it from her lips she brought the glass to Hinatas face.
"You can pay me back by taking a drink " The pink girl softly pounced her.
Hinata blushed again. As the girl laughed.
"Your face is like a cherry no no a Tomat-" she stopped mid sentence Hinata then and there saw sadness in her green pool like eyes as the amusement left her and she lowered her arm awkwardly from Hinatas face.
Suddenly Hinata wrapped her hands around the drink and took it then. Closing her eyes as she swallowed the strange liquid. Gulping she winced then slammed the glass on the bar.
"Ha Ha that's more like" the girl said now smiling again and patting her once heavily on her back. "My names Sakura Harano What's yours ?" She asked smiling so hard her eyes closed.
A flowering cherry tree. Hinata thought. It's a good fit.
"Hinata Yatamomo Nice to meet you "
Sakura stopped smiling and grew in closer. "Your cheek is cut... and your lip" she said in a serious tone.
Hinata eyes faltered. "It must of happen when I were asleep on the bus" change the subject she thought. "This music it's Jazz right ?"
Sakura nodded bored. "It's not really my thing"
"Really my mom loved jazz music what do you like ?"
Hinata asked
"Heavy metal "
Hinata never heard of it. "Oh " she closed her eyes getting lost in the Saxophone. She knew things of course outside of her mothers extensive media collection, music and movies, you name it. Though, it's only to the extent of finishing her high school career and taking few college courses. She also learned worldly things from her father. He laid out. Mapped it out and told her what's expected of her. She thought as the jazzy music took over.
"This song Is so Is so Sexy " she cooed.
Sakura burst into laughter. "Your not that sheltered I guess "
Hinata chucked embarrassingly. She never used the word before but. "My mom had a big American media collection it's how I learned most things "
"I want to go to America one day "
Opening her eyes Hinata fully turned to face the girl.
"Really a vacation?"
"No to live " she stated As the TV above them roared.
"He wins He wins Naruto Uzumaki is officially battling Sasuke Uchiha the first Friday of March for their second to final rematch for the title of second best in the country before the fight against Toneri Otsutsuki Japans best light weight champion" it raged on. "Next up Rookie Ino Yamanaka vs-"
She stared at that MMA fighter he grinned from ear to ear so wide his eyes closed standing with no shirt on in cherry blossom silk fighting shorts. How strange it felt like Deja VU with the girl named Sakura next to her and the Famous MMA fighter wearing the meaning of the girl next to her name . "Is it odd Uzumaki wears a pink uniform ? " she asked in a whisper she then took a look at the person next to her. She saw the girl smile softly then close her eyes. She didn't know why but she had a feeling it had to do with her question.
Hinata felt her stomach sink she had enough of the TV. "Can we turn that down"
Turning to Sakura she saw how sad she looked staring at the bar.
"Do you not like MMA ?" The pink beauty asked
Hinata sighed. "It's kind of a big thing back home actually "
Sakura chuckled. "I want to be one. I want to be THE one. The best in the world. The undefeated female light weight Mix Martial Artist of the world "
Hinata eyes widen noticing the girl herself was in a red training suit with bandages on her hands.
Sakura sighed. "I heard Sand city is Were Agents would be but it's dead here"
Hinata bit her lip to hold back the knowledge she knew, However the girl next to her made her want to help her. Don't Don't Don't. "Konoha is where it's hot now. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were discovered there ,but I hear they're from a different city a small town actually"
Sakura sighed. "I can't afford Konoha if it's hot there right now I'm sure the price of living has gone up I spent my entire savings on a trip to Sand City and paid 8 months renting fees on an apartment and gym sessions " she stated sadly.
Hinata gasp noticing the girl was distraught.
. "It's none of my business but since you just moved here I don't want you walking home alone you can stay in my room with me "
Sakura looked up at her and nodded.
Hinata stood up and helped her off the stool walking towards the elevator.
She pressed the 11 and went up eventually to her room. She laid The pink headed girl to the bed. She sighed.
"In a hotel room with an complete stranger how pathetic " she mumbled.
Hinata gasp. "Hey I'm not a complete stranger "
Sakura chuckled sitting up and grabbing the remote turning the small TV on. The fight was replaying and Hinata rolled her eyes then again her eyes landed on the Fighter with the cherry blossom shorts.
"Doesn't he have a contract with the Otsutsuki Company ?" She whispered and stared more As a chill ran down her back.
Damnit Sakura then took notice. If I just shut up. I have to put past behind me.
"You know your stuff. The Reigning champ is on team Otsutsuki if Na- Uzumaki wins against Uchiha who represents the Hygua company he will have to fight Toneri Otsutsuki in his own camp for the championship " Sakura stated. "The drama of it all...I just want to know what it feels like a real match "
Hinata shivered she wanted nothing more then to forget her haunted past start over and never look back but she knew with her knowledge she could help this girl rise in the Mixed Martial arts world.
"Sakura I have studied PR for the past 3 years I can help you rise to the top if you go to Konoha with me "
Sakura was taken back "I don't have the cash to pay you and I spent everything to come here "
Maybe she had seen one too many of her mothers movies but she needed a friend more then ever. Someone.
Hinata stood up and opening her bag she dumped out the cash.
Sakura eyes widen as Hinata handed her a ticket.
She giggled. "Your mothers movie collection definitely has you warped you know ha ha. Because I'm certain things like this only happens in the movies. " she says picking up a wad. "Cash spread on an hotel bed"
Hinata smiled. "I want a fresh start. Her films are one of the only things I have, had left of her."
Sakura jaw dropped then her mouth closed and her eyes soften watering over. "What happen to her ?"
"She killed herself" Hinata said softly and lowered her head.
She felt a small hand on her back
"I'll go with you Hinata "
