Title: Chapter 15
"Hi Hinata, I'm sorry if I bothered you at this time at night, but I really need to talk to someone right now and well I was on my way to somewhere and I happened to pass by your house," the pink haired young girl peered behind Hinata and saw Naruto holding a troubled Kaiya who was staring back at her.
"Oh, did I come at a bad time?" Sakura asked Hinata. She gazed at Kaiya once again who pointed at her.
"...her..." Kaiya answered. Everyone in the room looked at Sakura, who silently stood at the entrance of the doorway.
"Is…everything ok?" Sakura peered from the doorway.
When Sakura spoke her few words, Kaiya shivered and took a few steps behind. Hinata, worried, held her friend by the shoulders to support her.
"Go away, Sakura," Kaiya's cruel words darted at the pink-haired girl.
Everyone's heads turned to replay what had just happened.
The one who was most surprised was Sakura.
"Kaiya, is everything ok?" Sakura walked into the Hyuga house toward Kaiya.
"Don't come near me!" Kaiya held her hands to cover her ears and then started to run toward the door. No one stopped her.
When Kaiya was gone, the living room was silent for a few minutes until Sakura took three more steps into the living room.
"Guys, what happened? Neji? Naruto?" Sakura looked at everyone else.
Neji went down and sat on his couch, "I don't know what got into her. Naruto and I were upstairs most of the time, I'm still puzzled by the fact that she told you to go away."
"Exactly, something is up, I just don't know what it is," Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
Everyone looked at Hinata, as if Hinata knew all of the answers since she talked to Kaiya.
"Nothing happened," Hinata simply replied.
"Hinata, don't lie to us. She came to you bawling her eyes out, there is something going on between the two of you. You'd better not keep anything from us." Neji's cold eyes threatened his cousin.
"I said…NOTHING HAPPENED," Hinata ran upstairs.
"Hinata, we didn't mean to" before Sakura could finish, Hinata was gone.
"Girls…maybe it's that time of the month," Naruto answered Sakura.
Sakura's facial expression turned sour when he said that, "That's not funny. How would you feel if you had your uterus all fucking bloated up?" She defended Hinata.
"Hey, I was trying to make a suggestion. So don't go all PMS'ing on us." Naruto shot back.
"I don't have time for this shit, I'll leave you guys. Neji, call me when Hinata is all right. See you later," Sakura turned on her heel and walked off the door slamming it behind her.
It was cold. The wispy wind circled around the neighborhood. It was dark. There were only a few streetlights, but they were in need of repairing.
Down the street, lavender-haired Kaiya sprinted down the street trying to clot her blood from bleeding on her finger.
Flashbacks of what had happened at Hinata's house rushed through her head. Words of Sakura echoed and shook Kaiya's mind.
Has she gone insane?
Cold drops fell from Kaiya's face. She knew that it was stupid of her to go to Hinata at a time like this. In the middle of the night, she comes pouring out her inner feelings out to Hinata. Sure, she was her friend, but Hinata barely even knew her. Of course, no one really knew her.
Kaiya made a turn down the street and headed to the most familiar house she reached.
She knocked on the door. There was no answer.
"Weird, the lights are on." Kaiya made her way into the back and looked around her to see if any neighbors were looking. The coast was clear. Kaiya stealthily unlocked the gate with a hidden key inside some bushes. Slowly, she entered the backyard and softly closed the gate and locked it behind her.
She did her best to not make any noise or else she'll wake up the next-door neighbor's bulldogs and they'll start waking the whole neighborhood up. Making her way across the grass, Kaiya went to the sliding window near the pool and peered inside to see if anyone was home.
"Hello? Open the door, it's me Kaiya," she cupped her hands around her mouth and talked through the glass door, hoping that no one will hear her.
A few minutes later, a blue haired girl in her white silk nightgown opened the sliding door. Rubbing her eyes, the girl greeted Kaiya with a "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Something happened Kaede. Something terrible," Kaiya quickly made her way to the dining room. She sat herself onto one of the wooden chairs and started fidgeting her fingers over the dinner table.
Kaede rubbed her sleepy eyes and closed the glass door shut. "What happened?" Kaede pulled a chair next to Kaiya and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Remember what you told me last week?" Kaiya began.
Resting on Kaiya's shoulder, Kaede dreamily answered, "Mm-hmm,"
Feeling unsure, Kaiya whispered, "I did it,"
With her eyes wide open and alert, Kaede shot up straight and stood up from the chair and slammed her fists on the table.
"YOU DID WHAT!"
Kaiya was shocked to see beads of sweat on Kaede's forehead.
"I'm sorry Kaede, I couldn't help it. I'm so sorry! I knew that I shouldn't have…I…I'm" Kaiya was interrupted by her friend.
"What the hell were you thinking? Do you know what terrible shit you got yourself into? For god's sake, Kaiya, you could do anything stupid but this? What were you smoking?" Kaede started to raise her voice.
Before Kaiya answered, a familiar person went down the spiral staircase with a towel around his waist. It looked like as if he had come out of the shower since he came down drying his hair with the towel.
"What's going on down there Kaede?" he stared at Kaede and Kaiya from the middle of the stairs, "Oh, hey Kaede," he greeted the visitor and laid his eyes on Kaede.
"Hey Itachi…" Kaiya looked down embarrassed.
"I'll be up there in a sec ok? I just need to talk to Kaiya for a bit," Kaede took a deep breath and put on a happy face for Itachi.
"Oh, well it's all right. I'm going to have to change and leave soon. I'll see you later, bye Kaiya," he answered and ran up the stairs.
When he left, Kaede took a few breaths and then tried to sit down to cool herself down.
"You just had to do it Kaiya, you just had to do it. How much of an ass can you be?" Kaede rubbed her temples. Kaiya had a worried look on her eyes, she thought that she had seen Kaede's temples throbbing madly.
"Maybe we should talk about this another time," Kaiya went up but Kaede pulled her down. Just then, Itachi went down the stairs and said goodbye to the girls and then exited the house.
"No, we have to talk." Kaede softly answered.
"Kaede" Kaiya was stopped short.
"There's nothing I can do. All this time I'm sick and tired of putting up a façade with everyone. Kaiya, I am not a person that would lie to people in front of her face, but you pushed me to." Kaede's tone of voice turned unpleasant.
"I'm so sorry Kaede, I didn't mean to"
"Yes you did. You meant it Kaiya. You know it, in every inch of your bone and muscle, you sure as hell knew you did it all on purpose." Kaede's eyes pierced Kaiya.
"I'm sorry," Kaiya apologized.
"Don't say sorry to me. Say it to Sakura, she needs a whole shit load of your apologies right now," Kaede stood up and went to the kitchen to take a few moments with herself. Kaiya walked up to her as Kaede was getting a glass of iced water.
"I didn't mean for any of this to happen," Kaiya replied with guilt.
Kaede took one last sip of her glass and placed it into the sink. She leaned against the counter for a few seconds.
"Kaede?" Kaiya asked.
Kaede turned around and faced Kaiya.
"I can't do anything for you anymore, you know that," Kaede whispered. She wiped a solitary tear and stared at Kaiya.
"Please forgive me," Kaiya burst out and fell to her knees. Kaede helplessly looked down on Kaiya.
"You made a deal with the Devil, Kaiya. There's no going back."
