Part 2: Assurance~
So I've decided instead of doing two separate books, I would just make the first half of the book in Hinata's pov and the second half in Naruto's.
That in mind... I re-read my previous chapters already written out and noticed a few irregularities. As soon as I'm able to, I will be properly editing everything to make it flow better.
Personally I'm excited to begin his side of the story. This chapter picks up from where the last one left off. Overall I won't be writing any Hinata chapters from his view, however there may be flashbacks to previous events that show what he was thinking. Anyways... Without further ado enjoy!
Btw: if the chapters seem shorter then normal or not as well written, it's because I'm without a laptop or access to a computer again and am forced to type this out on my phone.
Chapter 8- Surprise!:
Naruto's POV:
I took my seat already finding amusement in the unfriendly thing next to me and could've sworn I heard her growl.
"Aww come now sweetheart, is that any way to great your favorite person!" I teased.
After the homecoming incident we'd returned to our usual banter, minus my "quest" to fuck her senseless; I chuckled inwardly at the term. That other pink haired woman was starting to grow on me a bit too much.
"Not only are you a piece of shit, but you're a dumb piece of shit." she mumbled back, "I don't have any favorite people." hm... It must've been too early for her, usually her responses managed to fit in profanity every other word.
Then again, she was resting her head on the table and seemed off centered. For a second I was tempted to question her almost pitiful state, but knowing her, I would get an earful. Besides if nothing else she was resilient.
"You're breaking my heart baby!" instead, I mocked a look of pain and clutched my chest dramatically.
"Then go shove it down Temari's throat." she hissed and I laughed while my mind simutaneously cringed.
Ok I lied. For the most part Hinata and I were back to the thing we considered normal between us, if you don't count how she no longer ever directly looked at me and regularly made barbed comments about Temari every damn chance she got.
If it were any other person, my first conclusion would've been, "oh no I hurt her feelings!"
But that last word quickly brushed that thought out of my head. Feelings...
"Oh you mean those things that make us human...yeah no." the crazy bitch only had degrees of homicidalness. And if you caught her off guard and that's a big if... Then you would see her surprised.
The bitch along with being chronically violent minded also had the brains to back it up. She would make a great serial killer.
Instead of bowing out, I decided to meet her challenge, "if I didn't know any better I would dare to say you were..." I lean over very close to her, "jealous it wasn't you." I kiss her ear lightly and promptly got the joy of an elbow to my gut.
I forced a laugh out through the slight pain and she simply turned away from me. She was also growing more violent physically toward me.
The morning bell rings and the rest of the class falls silent, "ok class," a familiar face walks through the doorway. It was Mr. Kakashi. "So it appears Asuma is out sick, so I'll be taking over until he returns, anyways, can anyone enlighten me on what chapter we're on?"
A girl in the back Tenten begins speaking without being called on, "sex. Or more specifically the psychology of reproduction."
"Ah. I see," he nods seeming thoughtful for a second before dishing out instructions, "your assignment is to find out as much as you can about your desk partner. And comparing the facts to the assumptions. Begin!"
All around us the classroom became alive with chatter. I could see Hinata grinding her teeth and took note that her body was slightly shaking.
"Hey you ok?" my hand finds a place on her forehead; maybe this little demon could actually catch a cold or fever.
My first mistake, the question I asked. Second one, touching her, third one, my response to what her retaliation.
Within the blink of an eye she dug her teeth into my wrist. Hissing I yanked it away.
Fuck. The bitch broke skin.
And unfortunately this was all the excuse I needed to blurt the next sentence out of my mouth, unable to ever pass up the opportunity to justifyingly taking a jab at her.
"So... Fact. You want me; considering you took off your clothes in Shikamaru's shed for our little game. Assumption: you're stilled fuming about Temari, despite us never being an item, because you're just a bitter, attention seeking, virgin tease. Who for that matter isn't worth the time it patience to fuck and will most likely end up alone. At least Temari knows how to take it."
Yes I'm a spiteful coniving asshole.
And yes I'm aware raising my voice so the entire classroom could purposely hear my response was a beyond dick move.
The way she stiffened and coiled up, spelled those facts out for me.
Whatever understanding we had was gone. In a way without fully having her trust, I'd betrayed her.
I might as well had shot her. She slowly turned her seething gaze to me, it was then I saw her bloodshot unfocused eyes, while in an uncharacteristic animalistic act, she managed to someway bare her teeth.
The sneer she wore was so vicious, so empty of anything not involving pain, "this is it," did pass through my head. Especially when she attacked.
And no not words. This fucking crazy bitch actually tried to jump me, in a effort to most likely rip out my tongue.
However, even in my moment of mortal terror I could see her body trembling before it crumbled.
I stared at her in shock as Kakashi had to haul her ass off to the office, passed out and ghostly pale.
What the fuck?
After class, Sakura approached me in the hallway.
"So..." she awkwardly begins, eyeing me with an odd look on her face. Somehow she pulled off being expectant and puzzeled all in one go, "I heard Hinata... Umm well..." she clears her throat.
"Cracked?" I added in helpfully, "snapped, went batshit before collapsing?" with each word my resentment towards the pink bitch in front of me.
"Look I understand you're upset, and I can't really blame you, bu-"
"Well I hope not," I cut her off and feel my hackles rise. Yes I was being unreasonably hostile. There's no way Sakura was to blame for that... girl's actions, but in the moment I didn't care. In the moment:
It was...
All.
My.
Fucking.
Fault.
I felt her clammy skin. Saw her barely able to hold herself balanced. It was amazing she even was able to hit and bite me. I should've just left her alone.
"Why are you treating me like I'm the one that nearly tore you apart?" her voice was carefully controlled, but I could hear the faint wobble in it.
Sighing before massaging my temples, I forcefully willed some common sense back into me, "is she ok?"
Her mouth fell open in surprise, "well... Are you going to answer my question or stand there all day looking like a fish?"
She clears her throat and quickly recomposes her face, "I'm sorry. I was just honestly shocked. My best friend from what I hear was about to maul you...and you're concerned about her well-being." she pauses and I just regard her with silence, was she going to answer the question or not? "From what I heard while eavesdropping on the nurses... She snapped and passed out due to stress and hunger. They took her to the hospital."
No sooner had the last word left her mouth then I was making my way down the hallway. "Wait Naruto! Where are you going? We have school!" she calls after me.
I scoff, "fuck school. Hurry up or I'm leaving you behind."
Please review.
I know as usual I'm late on updates. But I had a change of heart for this story and think it could possibly be wrapped up nicely.
