Chapter 5: Smart-ass Brat
I followed Hinata from behind, reluctant to baby-sit a thirteen-year old brat with her. I was told that she had been watching him ever since they were little. If so, how could I have not known about him? Due to my lack of attention, I had walked right into a metal pole.
"Ow."
"Sasuke, the house is over here, come and hurry up, I want you to meet him!" She turned at a corner and disappeared. I quickly stood up to follow her.
"Yeah, don't worry about me," I muttered to myself whilerubbing my face.
As soon as I turned at the corner, it left my mouth hanging open. Before me stood a mansion much larger than mine, or more like a castle! The yard had a large fountain to the right. There was also several bird baths in place with white birds bathing in them. The lawn was as green as fresh spring with flowers all around, and tall trees stood to the side of the stone walls. A huge iron gate loomed above the both of us. I turned to look at Hinata.
"What's wrong?" she stared at me confused.
"Thi-thi-thi-"I stammered. I pointed at the so called 'home' shakily.
"Ah, I forgot to mention Sasuke,he's also very rich. His family is the one that produces the newest electronics every month." She bonked her head with her fist as if to punish herself. "Silly me."
"Wait, you mean to tell me this is the kid that's rivaling with my family in the electronics department?" I asked bewildered. My future wife had been babysitting my rival for like the past ten years! Uso!
"Anyways, let's get inside. A babysitter must always be prompt." She pushed open the strange-looking heavy gate easily. "Oh, I'm used to this by the way." She turned to smile at me sweetly.
Is she a monster or something? I gave a weak smile in return. "I'm sure you are…"
We walked down the path towards the large door which led into the house. I looked a second time at the scenery around me.
Everything's so well taken care of. The trees, flowers, and even the grass.
Standing on the doorstep, Hinata raised her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Temari-senpai! Kankuro-senpai!" I cringed at her loud voice. If she's this loud, that means that she's really close with these people. Shit.
At once, the large doors swung open, and the first thing my eyes caught sight of were a pair of large breasts coming my way. My face was then nestled into the bosom while the person held me affectionately in their arms.
"Hinata-chan's here!" said the woman. "My, you grew a bit in these past few days."
I tried to tell her that I wasn't Hinata, but my voice came out muffled. Sigh, the only breasts I want to cuddle in are-
"Ano...Temari-senpai, I'm right here," Hinata said, waving her hand timidly.
"Eh?" She pulled me away from her bosom. "Then who's thi-"
Oh crap. I knew this would be coming.
It was a blond-haired girl that held me. She had such a strange hairdo for a woman of her age. It was four pigtails, with two on top and the other two on the bottom. She had sparkling green eyes. I had to admit she was attractive, but just that didn't cut it for me. This had happened plenty of times before. Where a girl looked into my eyes and immediately fell in love. I wasn't all that surprised when she pushed me, with brute strength to the side.
"Iyaaaaaa, a pervert!" She placed both hands on her cheeks and made a look as though she had been violated but happy about it. Her cheeks were red. "Such a naughty boy, if you wanted to be held that badly, you should've asked!" She gave me a seductive smile. I frowned at her in return
What the hell, you're the one who grabbed me...
As though she had forgotten about me, this so called Temari girl ran towards Hinata and hugged her affectionately as she had done with me.
"Oh Hinata-chan, it's so good to see you!"
"S-senpai, It's only been three weeks since I last came here." Her face was turning purple from the hug. I ran forward tohelp her until a foot stepped out from the door.
"Oi, Temari, let Hinata go you're killing her." Before me stood a man with brown hair. His eyes were practically slits, and he had a large, flat nose. I felt like gagging at his ugliness, but covered my mouth from doing so. He turned to look at me. "Oi gaki, what the hell's wrong with you?"
What the hell did he say! I balled my hands into fists and was about to take a swing until Hinata spoke out.
"Kankuro-senpai, he's my friend, please don'tbemean tohim." Busy in thought, I hadn't realized that Temari had released Hinata. She stood there with apleading look on her face towards the ugly guy.
"hWell, if that's what you want," Kankuro muttered, scratching the back of his ead. He faced me again this time, only his posture was straight. "Gomen, I sorry for calling you a gaki(brat)." He bowed down low.
What's with his sudden change in attitude? "I-Iie, it's no problem."
"May I ask your name, shounen?"
"It's Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke," I replied.
"Uchiha?" It looked as though my name had caught his attention.
"Yes, is there a problem?" I asked.
I had expected him to act superior, conceited, egotistical, (A/N: Sasuke's all those things, isn't that funny?) anything, but instead, he kept his head low.
"So it's Sasuke-dono then. Very well." He raised his head and gestured at Temari. "Let's go Temari or we'll be late."
"Oh fine." She gave Hinata one last hug before running down the walk after Kankuro. "You'll find him inside!" She called to us before disappearing out the gate.
I stared after them confused. Buncha weirdos...
"Um, I'm sorry about them Sasuke. I forgot to mention that they were a little weird." She blushed, embarrassed.
"Whatever," I mumbled. "Let's just get inside and baby-sit the brat." I was about to walk inside the house when a figure stood in my way.
"Who the hell are you calling a brat? Old man."
I stared at the person before me. He had red spiky hair, light-green eyes, and around his eyes looked like mascara. His face held in impudent look also with an impassive expression. And he stood at leastfive inches taller than me! And I thought I was tall.
"Who you callin old man you giant!" You're the older one here!
"If I'm about to knocka giant then you're a midget," he replied coolly. I was him in the face when he suddenly dodged it. I then realized that he had had the intention to actually run to the left instead.
My eyes bulged out at the scene.
"Hime-chan!" The red-head threw his arms around Hinata and cuddled her affectionately, unlike the blond who had tried to kill her. My blood then came to a boil. A guyis touching Hinata...and in such an intimate way too. I cracked my knuckles. Must...kill.
"You're just like your sister," Hinata laughed. She ruffled his hair. "Sasuke this is him."
"Him who?"
"The one I baby-sit silly!"
"But didn't you say he was thirteen?" I asked. Okay, this was weird. No way in hell could this giant be a thirteen year old.
"Yes, he is. He's hitting puberty obviously right now." Meanwhile, the red-head still held on to her as though he were attached to her.
"So you mean to tell me he's-"
"Yep. Sasuke, meet Sabaku Gaara."
Gaara eyed me with his cold green eyes. They looked sharp and cruel.
"It's nice to meet you, nii-san."
A/N: Well, here's the first of the three rivals. Not including Itachi. He's a different kind of rival. As you can see, Gaara is the rich, smart-ass brat. LOL. I love him, he's one of my favs. I've already figured out who I'm gonna use for the next two. Wait until then. Oh, and if you noticed Gaara called Hinata Hime-chan, that's his nickname for her ever since he was a little boy. I hope you guys know what Hime means, if you don't, it means princess. I think. Well, see ya!
