- Chapter 5 -
~ Hinata's POV ~
"What?! Where moving to England!" I could hear both Tenko and Oji yell from the living down the hall as I clenched an empty bottle of painkillers in my hand.
Both Tenko and Oji howled loudly as the sound of Ino's punch soon followed, as she barked back at them. "Idiots! Stop yelling, do you know how late it is?!"
When I walked into the living room, I wasn't surprised to see Tenten holding back Ino as she cried out to me for help. "Hinata! I'm losing my grip! I'm losing my grip!" I sighed as I looked down at the bottle I had in my hand.
In one swift swing, the battle hit the back of Ino's head, as she froze while slowly turning back to look at me as her eyes resembled those of a killer, as I noticed dark black bags beginning to form under her eyes, obviously due to lack of sleep since it was already 2 in the morning. "Ino, lead by example," I said simply.
"Why you short good for nothing shit," Ino growled as she clenched her fist.
"Tenten calm down Ino before she pops a vain. I'll be back."
"Wait, you're not really planning to leave me here with her do you!?" Tenten cried as I ignored her while heading into the kitchen. 'Sorry Ten. But empathy was thrown out the wind when I found that empty bottle of painkillers.'
As I looked for what I needed in the kitchen I could still hear the sound of Ino's voice curse Tenko and Oji's name, as they both continued to whimper. Tenten, in the fit of it all, continued to struggle to calm Ino down as she named off some of Ino's favourite clothing brands.
I quickly prepared everything as I looked up at the ceiling. "God. You better make this work."
- 5 Minutes Later -
"Here," I said while placing down a silver tray. "2 plates of apple pie slices, two cups of hot chocolate that is topped with whipped cream, a large puffy marshmallow, and dark chocolate shavings."
The moment the tray hit the coffee table, everyone in the room froze. Tenko and Oji looked at one another before hesitantly reaching for one of the mugs, as they slowly took a sip.
At that moment I took it upon myself to explain everything that had happened while they were asleep. "And that's basically the gist of it."
"So basically we're going to England?" Oji replied while licking his plate. "And we're going to be your dorm mothers?" Tenko then followed as they handed back their plates while asking for seconds.
"Yup that's basically it."
Ino growled as she grabbed Oji's shirt. "Hey! How the hell did you understand it so quickly when Hinata explained it to you, but it took us almost a half hour for you to just get the England part!?"
Oji shrugged as he stared at her with a dull expression. "Maybe it was because she fed us a pie? or maybe it was the part where she didn't yell at us like a couple of dumbasses!"
I quickly came between both of them as I pushed them apart. "Ok guys it's late and I really can't handle another one of your fights right now without my meds, so can you do me and everyone else the favour of shutting the hell up."
They both quieted down though nobody could stop them from glaring at each other.
Soon Temari walked into the room as she grabbed the back of Ino's collar. "Ok, that's enough. Our Uber will be here in less than 2 minutes."
"Temari were the hell have you been?!" Tenten yelled.
While typing away on her phone Temari replied. "I was in the library taking a nape." As she then tossed me my back-up painkiller supply, which was now empty. "Oh, and you're out of painkillers."
I faked a smile, as the side of my mouth twitched. "Wow, thanks."
Suddenly the sound of a honking car was heard from outside. "That's us," Temari stated as she headed for the door while pulling Ino along. "Bye guys! See you tomorrow!"
Tenten and I followed them out as she waved to them from the door. "BYE! SEE YOU TOMORROW!"
"You better come back tomorrow with my pills you freeloaders!"
Temari solely smiled and waved.
"Something tells me she's not bringing anything with her when she comes back tomorrow."
Tenten wrapped an arm around my neck as she grinned. "Whatever! Let's go to bed already, we've had a pretty long day."
I grunted, "You can say that again."
- 1 Hour Later -
~ Tenko's P.O.V ~
After Temari and Ino had left, Hinata and Tenten stayed up a bit longer to clean the kitchen and dining room. While I was left to clean the living room with Oji, who had already fallen asleep.
'Lazy bastard.'
"Good night guys. We're going to bed now." Hinata shouted as I could hear both her and Tenten run up the stairs.
"Ok! Good night!" I shouted back while I then collapsing onto the couch. "Crap, I'm tired."
I yawned as I turned to look at Oji who didn't look like he was going to wake up anytime soon. I grabbed one of the pillows on the couch and throw at him. "You lazy shit." He didn't even flinch. 'Though if you really think about it, isn't that really creep? It's almost like he's dead.' I gulped at the thought as a shiver ran down my spine.
"Hey Oji?" I said slowly while poking him.
"What?"
His sudden response made me jump, causing me to fall off the couch. Though once I got to my feet I quickly hid on the other side of the couch as I created an X with my arms. "Holy crap! Oji came back to life!"
Oji raised his eyebrow at me while his face just spelled out, 'What the fuck?' I sighed as I lowered my arms. 'Holy crap I need to go to bed.'
"Hey dude, is there something I'm missing here?" Oji asked while I sat down. "Hey, who do you think had to clean this place up?"
Oji's expression told me that he still didn't understand though he didn't ask me anything more on the subject. That's when I decided to talk about something else that had been on my mind ever since Hinata explained to us that we were all going to England. "Hey Oji, what do you think about this whole England plan?"
"What about it? All they have to do is behave, right? Besides if life has thought me anything it's to never underestimate girls, especially those girls."
A warm smile found it's way onto my lips, though it soon faded.
"Something wrong Tengo?"
I growled at his stupid nickname for me. "I run fast what's wrong with that!"
Oji chuckled. "No, you run slow. You only run fast when you're in a haunted house, when you see a big dog, or when Tenten finds your poorly hidden porn magazines. Now tell me what's wrong."
I grunted, though soon released a sigh. "Did I tell you the name of the school were going to?"
"No,"
"Figures, though I bet even if I did tell you, you'd probably never heard of it anyway."
"Then why bringing it up?"
I sighed as I grabbed my phone from the coffee table and began to tap away. Oji looked at me questionably. "Here. Look."
"Konoha Boarding School for the Elite. One of the most exclusive boarding schools in the country. Wow they really don't hold back, do they? So that's the kind of school our parents are sending them too, huh?" He chuckled sadly to himself. "Ha, the best money could buy. And in the U.K no less."
I don't even know if he noticed the sadness in his voice, but I did. But I continued anyway. "After my parents told me that they were planning on sending Tenten to that boarding school I decided to look into it,"
"And what did you find out?"
"Some pretty fascinating stuff actually. Konoha has four other sister schools that are scattered all over the world. One is here in America, there are two in the U.K, One in France, and then one more in Dubai. Apparently, the headmasters of the schools all meet only a handful of times a year. Hh! And there's this-"
"Wait! Are you telling me that there's a school just like the one in the U.K, here? And they're still sending us to England?!"
I frowned at him. "And are you telling me that's the only thing you got out of everything I've just said?"
Oji relaxed back onto the couch as he sighed. "Whatever, I'm just saying I like things simple. I'm a simple man, kill me for it. And what about this whole sister school thing, isn't that usually for Colleges and Universities?"
"I don't really know all that much about it, though apparently ever since the last headmaster of Konoha stepped down their ties together had begun to drift."
"Wow! Fascinating! Now wake me up when any of this info you're telling me has anything to do with us, ok?" Oji said while picking something out of his teeth and flicking it across the room.
"Wait!" I yelled as he began to close his eyes. "I get I was getting off-topic but I really did have something important to tell you!" I yelled as I violently shook him. "Yeah, and what the hell can that be!" He barked back while also violently slapping my hands away.
"It's the new headmaster of the school!"
"What about him?"
"Not him, her. She was taught by the last headmaster himself. She was supposed to go to medical school though apparently something happened and got stuck under a mountain of debt instead, and only God knows how she was even brought up for the position since-"
"Tenko! You're getting off track again!"
"R-Right, but apparently ever since she was positioned as the new headmaster 200 students from that school have been expelled already! And apparently, 50 have transferred just for fear of her alone! The girls are screwed! We're screwed! Everyone is screwed! We're all going to be separated and there's nothing anyone can do about it!"
Oji quickly gripped the collar of my shirt as he punched me square in the face. "What the hell was that for!" Oji shrugged. "You know I hate it when you begin to panic, you get all weird on me. Besides if any of the girls heard you talking like that, they'd punch you too."
At that moment I recalled all the time's the girls ever punched me. "Your probably right.
"Of course I am! Besides, we can prevent it."
"Prevent it?"
Oji looked at me, his eyes sharp and his expression unmoving as he stood up and extended his hand to me. "We're big brothers, it's our job to protect our little sisters."
It was at that moment. That kinda moment that only happens every blue moon. When Oji actually looked kinda cool for once.
"Right!"
"Hey, has anyone ever told you what an awesome big brother you are, Tenko?"
I laughed as I punched him in the shoulder. "I could say the same for you, man."
"I am. Aren't I," he said with a smudged smile on his face.
"Ok so 'Save Our Sisters From Getting Expelled' is a go!" We both shouted as we fist-bumped each other. "There's no way this plan can fail!"
~ Hinata's P.O.V ~
"Those idiots," I sighed as I pinched the bridge of my nose. Though even though their idea was so ridiculous I still couldn't hold back the smile that crept onto my lips. As I even began to chuckle to myself.
"You can say that again," Tenten laughed.
"Though if they really didn't want us to know their plans then they shouldn't talk so loud."
"Yeah, but they really do care about us, don't they? Even if they can be a little dense at times."
"How do you feel about going to England Tenten?" I asked.
"Well, I'm sure going to miss this place. It's the first place we became friends after all. I can still remember it like it was yesterday."
{Flash Back}
~ No One's POV ~
Even though she was wearing her most comfortable clothes, which were a pair of old ripped overalls, a white shirt, and old high tops, she sure didn't feel comfortable. And as she stood at the entrance to her new home staring down at her shoes, all she wanted was to go back to China where her real home was.
"So you're ditching us?" Tenten asked with curiosity beaming from her eyes, as she finally looked up at them. She already knew that wasn't the case, though as she stared into her parent's eyes searching for some type of hesitation. It suddenly didn't feel that way.
As her mother kneeled down, she grabbed both of her hands while pulling them close. "We're sorry Tenten, but we promise we will call every day. It's just-" She watched as her mother struggled to find the words, though she could tell by the pain look on her face that she didn't want to leave her. And that's all she needed.
"Well, this place isn't that bad. Besides didn't you say I'll be living here with some other people? We'll probably be good friends by the time you come back to visit. So you can go."
Her mother smiled as she stood up while still tightly holding onto her hands. As her father placed his hand on her head, softly patting her. "Now that's our big girl. Now make sure to be good. And watch out for your big brother, you know he can be really dense sometimes."
Tenten nodded as she watched them head out the door and get into their car and drive away. Her fake smile slowly fading. "And now you're gone." She muttered, as she suddenly felt the urge to cry though she quickly slapped both her cheeks, as they turned a bright red. "Nope, that's not happening."
She quickly drew her attention elsewhere. As she finally entered what would be her new home for the next two years.
Though as she began to open one of the double, navy blue, doors, all the expectations she had of what it might look like were completely shattered.
When Tenten entered she was faced with boxes of furniture covered in white sheets. 'Dammit Tenko, you said you already have the living room done by the time I came!'
"Well, whatever, when you come back from school will finish it," Tenten sighed while walking into the living room and pulling off the large white sheet that was covering the couch. "I guess for now I can go exploring."
- 20 Minutes later -
While walking downstairs with a notepad and pen in hand, she finished writing down the final details of the house. "Built-in 1917, 8,523 SqFt, with 6 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms. Includes a formal living room, dining room, and gourmet kitchen. Not to mention the library with a sweeping view of the enormous landscape ground." Tenten looked around while tapping the end of the pen on her lip. "Yet still no secret rooms."
Now ending back where she started, Tenten collapsed on the couch while letting out a loud yawn. "I'm so bored~! Tenko hurry and come home, dammit~!" Her voice echoed through the room as it quickly went quiet again.
Leaving her in the dark with nothing more but silence and her thoughts.
That is until she heard the faint sound of a piano playing, causing her to quickly sit up. "That sounds like it's coming from outside." Tenten stood up as she wiped out her Kunai as she made her way towards the garden doors. "No ones suppose to be here but me, right?"
Though once Tenten opened the doors to outside, she froze as she dropped her weapon.
Out those doors, she was faced with a beautiful maple tree tunnel with an irregular bluestone path. At the end of the tunnel was a semi-large octagonal gazebo, inside the gazebo stood a baby grand piano as a girl, dressed in a white sundress, played. Her fingers playing softly and freely.
That is until the girl noticed she wasn't alone.
When Tenten finally got a look of the girls face, it wasn't her pale and fragile competition that caught her attention or her odd-coloured eyes, but the cold and icy stare in them, dead of all emotion.
The girl's stare alone sent shivers down her spine causing her to step back. "Hello, my names Hinata Hyuga. From the Hyuga family estate in Tokyo. You must be Tenten Lalin, I met your brother Tenko. He'll be home soon."
Caught off gourd Tenten blinked a few times before responding. "Y-Yeah," Suddenly the weird sinking feeling she had before slowly began to fade. 'She seems kinda weird, but I can work with weird. Let's just hope she's, not a total snob.'
"I see," The girl responded while pulling down the fallboard of the piano. "Your hair is weird. I think I'm going to call you Meatball head." She spoke bluntly.
Suddenly the side of Tenten's mouth began to twitch, as she tried to fake a smile. Fighting the urge to hit this girl in front of her. "W-Whatever makes you comfortable."
'Forget it. I already hate you.'
"Why are you doing that?" She asked.
"Doing what?"
"Putting up an act. What, did your parents tell you to get along with me or something? Or do you just take shit from everybody?"
Tenten was at a complete loss for words. She didn't know if she should either feel offended or laugh.
"Though I can change that." Tenten's eyes widened as she watched Hinata walk towards her as she stopped only a couple of feet away as she extended her hand. "So how about it Tenten? Let's be friends."
{End Of Flash Back}
~ Still Hinata's POV ~
Tenten smiled as she hugged her knees. "I can't believe it's already been 3 years since then, your completely different from the way you were before. Time sure goes by fast."
I chuckled as I looked back at Tenten. "How did those words feel like coming out of your mouth?"
Tenten groaned as she covered her face with her hands. "Like I was some type of old hag!"
I laughed so hard that tears began to form at the edge of my eyes. "You still have one more good year grandma," I said while patting her back which only caused Tenten to groan loudly.
"While let's get back to bed. We will need all the strength we have to pack up all those weapons of yours." Tenten's eyes sparkled when I said that. "Do you really think they'll let me go through board checking with them!?" She asked excitedly.
"Well, anything's possible, right?" Tenten nodded eagerly as she skipped to her room.
I let out a sigh. What a day. Getting expelled, seeing my mom and dad again after a while, and the news of moving to England.
"England, huh," I smiled to myself as I clasped my hands behind my back while I walked back to my room. "I wonder what awaits us tomorrow? Guess will just have to find out."
