The Explosive

(The life and story of Hyuuga Taka)

Dad, if you are reading this, PISS OFF

September 3rd,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's school again! I HATE school! What's the point of learning about how the kunai is most effective when cutting the tendons in your neck and how that pointed/curved shuriken is supposed to be used for nailing your opponent in place? My family doesn't even USE that kind of information! Hello-! We are Hyuugas! We fight by poking people! It's not like we take a kunai and actually stab it into someone, unless we're desperate. Jeez. Stupid school.

Well, since its school, I got to see some people that I've known since childhood. I mean, its not like we're friends or anything, we just know each other. Ok, I'm looking at people who actually passed last year. Let's see… there's Inuzuka Kaede (she passed?) with her annoying dog, Fu. I don't know why it's called Fu. Fu? Fu. Fu! Fu, fu, fu! FU! It's some weird word that is-fun-but-is-not-a-name. Did I mention Fu's this black little Labrador puppy? It sits in the inside of Kaede's jacket and reeks of dog. Ugh.

There's also Kuniwara. We talk on occasions, and don't mind being paired up in teams in class. He's kind of lazy though—he stays awake in class enough to barely pass all his tests and is either zoning out or sleeping every time else.

Now I'm looking at people I know pretty well.

Sabaku no Kizune is here, on the dot, bright as ever! …yeah right. She looks kind of bored, sprawled all over her desk, blonde hair everywhere. Kizune has the longest hair ever. I'm not sure if she cut it once in her life. She ties the right part of her hair up in this cascade of looping circles pinned back with this pretty green brooch her mom gave her for her birthday some time ago. She's not looking at me. Does she even know I'm here?

And, of course, we could never miss the Aburame twins, Daisuke and Daike. They're both pretty much identical, except for the color of their sunglasses. Daisuke wears blue-tinted sunglasses while Daike wears brown-tined ones. Their hair is this dirty blonde color that sort of shouts 'playful' even if that's totally different from their real personalities. Together, they do cause a ruckus. They interrupt the class whenever they feel like making a snide comment and they completely ignore the teacher if they deem it necessary.

Luckily, they're not a menace when their separated though.

/phew/

Shoot, Hiro-sensei saw my diary! Got to hide! Write back later.

September 12th,

FOUND IT! Sorry, Dad hid my diary somewhere in the house and I've been spending all last week looking for it (stupid Dad, I knew he was going to look through my diary!). Of course, there is no evidence that it was Dad who did the deed, but he's the most likely (Mom wouldn't touch my 'personal' things and Miki's too short to grab the diary from my top shelf).

We had this stupid teamwork activity in class today where we have to pair up with someone and walk across this tightrope together over a rushing stream. I picked Kuniwara, of course, and damn it was hard. I kept on slipping and pushing both of us into the water and the whole class would laugh real hard since I was pretty bad at swimming and would always panic and grab onto the first thing I saw. Who was Kuniwara. Who would yell at me for almost drowning him, no matter how hard I apologize.

I'm getting water all over this paper…

Let's hope Dad doesn't hide my diary this time.

October 24th

Hey its almost twelve at night and I can't believe I'm writing this. I haven't written in this for a freakin' month for goodness' sake! Because it's almost positive Dad would try to take a peek. But I don't care now. I need to write this down now for future reference.

So today my parents hosted a party and everybody came. Kuniwara's family, Kizune and her mother, the Inuzukas, Haruno-san, Lee-ojisan, and more people who-I-do-not-know were all there. It went smoothly at first, we children playing all the usual party games while the adults just sat at the kitchen table and talked. It seems they were all great-time buddies every since they were little because they went on so many ninja missions together and blah blah blah blah whatever.

It didn't really get interesting until the adults decided to play a drinking game. For good reference, this is how they sat. Dad sat closest to the wall. On the left, was Mom and on the right was Lee-ojisan. Next to Mom was Inuzuka-san sitting next to his wife. Uzamaki-san sat in-between Kaede's mom and Kuniwara's dad, who was sitting next to his wife. Nara-san, then, was sitting next to Haruno-san who was uncomfortably squeezed in next to Lee-ojisan. All the other (unimportant I-cannot-remember-their-names) adults had already left, leaving the 'inner circle'.

I have no idea how the drinking game went, except they talked for a while, than someone drank, than they talked again. Then someone had to do something weird, like sing a song or dance or something, than they got to sit down and point at a person, who had to then drink from his or her cup. It went on for quite a while and I saw some things I didn't want to see (like Uzamaki-san's boxers… which were orange) in the process. The other kids were looking too, and after a while it got clear who could hold their drink and who couldn't.

Haruno-san had already gotten drunk long before and was giggling quietly with Kuniwara's mother, who was just about as stoned as she was. Lee-ojisan, who wasn't allowed to drink because of reasons I cannot speak of, cracked up at the sight of all his friends all drunk and dozing. Inuzuka-san had started to sing really rude and inappropriate bar songs, which his wife couldn't stop because she was dead asleep at the table, while Mom just sat there looking kind of tipsy but not all-the-way-there. Nara-san had fallen asleep and I really couldn't tell if he was drunk or not. Dad, though, was a different matter.

His face was the sort of drunk-red and he kept on hiccupping, like a little kid. Sometimes he'd mutter something under his breath then giggle to himself. Finally, when he started to doze off, he leaned up against Lee-ojisan and fell asleep. Of course, Lee-ojisan definitely started laughing at this, but not too hard otherwise Dad would wake up and probably jab him in a chakra point and render him immobile for the rest of the week.

Finally, when almost everyone was asleep, Lee woke up the other guests and harried them out of the living room. I said good bye to all my friends /cough/ and had the amusement of seeing my parents go up the stairs. But not together. It was kind of sad, how they were going up on the same time but refused to lean on each other.

October 31st

Halloween! ARGH! I am a NINJA! Ha, I really am a ninja. Get it? Get it?

You don't get it! Whatever! Anyways, we went trick-or-treating today! Kizune was absolutely adorable in her angel outfit! Her Aunt Temari had helped her make it and it had frills and cuts where you could see her curves and—yeah, I'll stop now. For some reason she dragged the Aburame twins with us. I think she has a crush on Daisuke (the one wearing the blue glasses, remember?) Argh! I hate them!

But that besides, Dad was being all bitchy and said we needed a parent following us but damn it if it was him! So we had to go looking around for a parent helper and finally Lee-ojisan decided to go with us (yes!) so we all went trick-or-treating. Of course, Lee-ojisan was dressed in this dorky turtle outfit, but hey, we all love him so we forgave him for looking stupid.

Anyways, we got all this candy but afterwards Dad made me share with Miki. Mom sided with Dad for once and I had to hand over 'half' of my candy (I swear Miki took more than half! I hate little sisters, too!) And she took all the good ones too, because she looked at the candy with her Byakugen to see if the chocolate was runny or not. Another reason why I hate her!

Anyways, I'm kind of candy-high right now since, after calling Kizune, I just gulped down, like, four pounds of candy. I feel funny in the head.

November 5th

I woke up today with an ear-splitting headache. I didn't know what was wrong with me but when I tried to get out of my futon, everything just tipped. I couldn't even walk straight, and I kept falling down like I was drunk or something. Every step I took, my mind felt like it was banging against the inside of my skull. Dude, it's not a feeling I'd like to experience again.

When I got to the bathroom, I suddenly had the horrible urge to just hurl into the toilet. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't be late to school today! There's this horrible exam person coming, but if he likes your performance he'll move you up to the advanced level. I have to get into that level!

Somehow I get myself dressed, though I feel like I'm in a desert and I'm going to burn up in my clothes, and drag myself downstairs. Mom's making breakfast and she hardly glances at me as I slump onto the tabletop.

"Mom," I said, or whined, "I have a headache."

"That's your problem," She snapped. I didn't know what was wrong with her, but I assumed she knew my problem was ok and that it was normal to feel like I was going to be dried alive.

I attempted to eat my rice-porridge, but the smell itself made me feel sick. I kept poking my food and Mom finally exploded and shouted at me that if I didn't appreciate her food than go outside and try to fend for yourself or something, I don't know I wasn't really listening.

Then, Dad finally came downstairs, tying his robe back. He took one look at me and said, "Get yourself back in bed."

Somehow I make it into my futon and after some fussing and tests, Dad announced that I had a 101 degree fever and was in no condition to go to school today.

Funny, the only thing I was thinking of when he said that was nooooo I won't make it into the advanced program!

November 12th

We got the results back today and I made it! You see, since I was absent on the fifth, the ninja-sensei let me retake the test alongside the younger group on the eighth. But that aside, I passed! I made it in! Advanced doesn't mean you get put in a different class. Just that after normal school I get to spend time with an elite ninja that'll show me all these cool techniques I can use! Of course, Dad thinks it's a waste of time, since he's probably stronger than any 'elite ninja' they could give me, but then I told him not to ruin my day, I'm happy for once.

Of course, we got into an argument about that, which he won, by the way, and I ended up grounded for two days. But… oh well! I'm still happy! I passed!

November 15th

WOAH I JUST FOUND OUT WHO MY ADVANCED SENSEI IS!

Kizune's mom! Or, Uzamaki-san! Or, Naruto-sensei!

One word.

E. CEN. TRIC.

ECCENTRIC!

He's totally MAD IN THE HEAD! I mean, we had to sing this stupid rabbit song for an hour hopping around a field while he talked nonstop about weird things like Kizune's first word and how she finally learned to poop in the toilet when she was three and all this wacky things I didn't want to know about Kizune. Of course, I guess there was a big lesson behind this all, but seriously. THIS MAN IS CRAZY!

And they say this nin is going to be the next Hokage?

Give me a break!

November 20th

I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK! Naruto-sensei is an AWESOME, FLAWLESS NINJA who is the Food God of Konoha! He is awesome, sexy and extremely young looking for his age! If I was a girl I'd go out with him!

November 22nd

If you were wondering what that was all about on Thursday NARUTO-SENSEI MADE ME WRITE THAT SWEAR TO GOD! I mean, seriously!

Plus, Dad was looking at my diary again, because he threatened to ground me forever if I told a soul about that drinking incident, but it's not like he'll follow through.

More blackmail against Dad!

December 3rd

I'm really inconsistent with my entries, right? Argh, makes me crazy. Writing a diary, and all. I mean, I'm a guy! I'm not supposed to have a diary!

But I'm kind of excited, I finally bought a lock and key for my diary! Now Dad can't read it, because I'm keeping the key on a necklace around my neck so he can't get it.

Beat that, Dad!
