"Auntie, I'm going to head out to the park to do some work, so don't wait up." Hinata shouted to her aunt as she was descending from the last of the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah see you later! Dinner starts at seven so don't be late and open shop will ya?" yelled the older purple haired female from the kitchen as she was making her famous mitarashi sauce for the upcoming customers. With the closed sign flipped to open and a small bell chiming Hinata left her aunts house.
"Ah, finally some peace and quiet. I swear if I were to have a child I would go crazy, Mikako." Anko said out loud to her younger sister. Anko had to admit that she was glad both of her nieces still talked and visited her after her sister had passed. She would've gone crazy if they didn't visit her right after the funeral because it was just as devastating to her as it was to her children and husband. She was very surprised when her shy niece came over to her house one day and quietly told her about her 'secret identity'. Who knew that Hinata was a sneaky, smart and beautiful young woman. With that Anko had agreed to let her stay over at her house and cover as her mom when the time needed it. Anko also knew that Hiashi did not know of anything that Hinata did which was kind of a bummer because she seen Hinata's work and was it amazing. She was quite grateful that Hiashi did not pay much attention towards his oldest because boy did Hinata show him up. Hinata's music videos outranked the Hyuuga Corporation's for the biggest music stars. The store bell rang and in came a handsome young man she had never met before, but he did look quite familiar, but she couldn't put her mind on it.
"Ah, hello. What can I get for you today?" she said to the male that stood at the door then slowly walked towards the small kitchen she was at, she was sure that she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember. He observed the shop as he were looking for someone the looked back towards her with dark eyes.
"Nata, she works here right?" The young male said her her as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, Nata? Yeah she went out to go do some work, I swear that girl goes all over the place. She should be here in the evening depends if she gets her work done. I am Anko, Nata's mother." she replied as she wiped her hand on her black apron and extended her arm at the dark haired male.
"Sasuke Uchiha, nice to meet you. I was suppose to help her with the project do you know where I can find her?" Sasuke said to her. Anko knew of Itachi and Madara, but not Sasuke, she has to have Hinata update her on the people she was working with.
"Well I don't know where she went, but I believe that she either went to the cafe near the school, school, the studios, The boys' house, or the park. Sorry, I don't have that much information about her she likes to switch and if you do find her let her know that her father want her to bring honey and don't forget to tell her that." Anko told the Uchiha male as she named all of the places she would be.
"Alright, I'll see if I can find her and I'll let her know about the honey." Sasuke said as he walked out of the store. Anko let out a relieved sigh indicating that she was happy he left because she was scared that she would spill the sweet red beans.
Hinata's phone rang as she was trying to look for the right crew for the video. Looking at the name and picture of the person she decided to answer it.
"Yes, Sasuke?" Hinata said as she rolled her eyes and jotted down on her notebook once more. Finding the right crew with no fangirls was a bit difficult, but she was sure that she had found the right three because they worked well together.
"I met your mom, she seems nice anyway I was wondering if I can help you out today. Where are you?" He said as Hinata adjusted her glasses she knew that no one knew about her secret spot near the lake so she was safe from anyone knowing.
"I'm at Fangs house, but you don't have to come we're almost done with our planning we have the rest of the crew and we should hire them by tomorrow so as soon as they are able to work then we could set up the warehouse and start shooting in a few days" Hinata said as she grabbed a book in her bag.
"Are you sure you don't need help? I was thinking that we could go and eat somewhere after words and film your movie." He said, Hinata's eyes grew wide was he asking her on a date or something?
"I'm sure, relax its Saturday! Write a new song so I can produce another video. How about we work on the movie tomorrow around lunch, my treat!" she replied as she smiled at the sucks waddling by.
"Alright tomorrow, I'll pick you up at your house around 11. Oh, and before I forget your mom said that your dad wants you to bring honey." Sasuke replied.
"Its a date then." Hinata said as she heard the line go off. Honey? She knew that she had some explaining to her aunt to do when she got back. Sighing she took out a sandwich and started to eat it. The wind was blowing and she was grateful that she braided her hair this morning or else it would go crazy. She was currently looking at her notebook that contained everything to the story board, lighting, props that were needed and any remaining ideas that involved the movie. Placing her headphones in she decided to listen to Haters gonna to hate. She knew being the director means that she would overly have to listen to this song until she got sick of it which will probably not be likely because Sasukes band was quite likeable. As Hinata listened she pictured everything that was happening and the right moment.
"Get up, open your eyes, you're just like everyone. You waste all your time faking your smiles. Wake up, look at your life, you don't need to stalk mine
Here is my advice, get the fuck out!" she sang her favorite part of the song quietly. She bobbed her head to the music trying to memorize each instrumental part of the song. She had to admit that Sasuke had a better sounding voice rather than Itachi's. Comparing the twos voices was quite hard Sasukes was soft and when he screamed it wasn't as powerful as Itachi's and boy can that man scream. Placing her glasses on she then proceeded to write another idea that involved two Sasukes yelling at each other. She smiled at her handiwork and heard a twig snap from behind her. Who knew about her secret hiding spot?! She then turned around as fast as her neck could take her only to be looking at the man she just talked to over the phone a while ago. Crap. Hinata thought.
"You know our band?" Sasuke said to Hinata, her eyes were wide as saucers as she shifted her body away from him.
"y-you are Sasuke Uchiha. Um.. Yes, it is very interesting." Hinata said quietly as she looked down at her notes. Crap, most of it was band related stuff she had to find a way to hide it. Shifting her body away from him she flipped her notebook to a new page so she could finish up her book report in a bit if he was still watching her.
"Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar, really familiar." Sasuke proclaimed as she poked her two fingers together.
"Um, we are actually in the same class." She whispered to him, glad that he actually picked up her voice he raised a brow.
"No, I would have seen you somewhere." he stated as he bounced his pointing finger at her.
"I um nearly puked on your shoes one time when I had to present an oral presentation." replied Hinata as she looked up to face the Uchiha male.
"You have Hyuuga eyes, do you know Nata?" Sasuke asked impatiently, he then sat next to Hinata observing the young woman with careful eyes.
"Shes my cousin. My mom and aunt are sisters so we are really close. Excuse me, but I have to go." Hinata said quietly as she grabbed her stuff and placed them inside of her book bag and left the Uchiha to her spot. Sasuke let Hinata go and tapped his finger on his chin, he was sure he had seen Hinata somewhere, maybe it was school.
Hinata let out a sigh as she left Sasuke, it was really close he almost caught her secret which she didn't want to get out. If they found out that the Video Nerd for the school was actually her they would probably fire her. She would also get bullied by Sasukes fangirls which wouldn't be that pleasant, she heard that they do horrible stuff to people who hate Sasuke or even get his attention. Nata could deal with them, but not her. She decided to go see some friends instead of going home if Sasuke were to follow her he would discover her secret which he could destroy even more than the fangirls. Walking towards the outskirts of the village she came across a one story house that was big enough for a family of five. Smiling she knocked on the door and waited.
"Hinata, what are you doing here?" A soft female voice said as she opened the door. The female voice was quite surprised, but Hinata didn't care.
"Um, I wanted to ask you guys something and it would help me a bunch if you guys said yes." Hinata said as the female let her inside of the house it was decorated nicely with pictures everywhere. The house smelled like dirt which was quite nice because it sort of smelled like rain. Their sandy brown couch stood right in the middle of the room as it faced the television. Hinata smiled and occupied the one seater chair that stood to the right of the room.
"Alright, I'll be back they're both sleeping. They had a long night last night you know how they are with school" the female replied as she went in the back of the house. Hinata observed the pictures that hung around the room, for a small family they seemed to live a pretty comfortable life. Their father worked most of the time so they had the house to them selves. Shelves held books that ranged from Medicine all the way to the arts which Hinata loved most.
"Hinata, what are you doing here its pretty early for you to be here." said a husky male voice as he rubbed his eyes coming from the back of the house. The second male came in as if he were going to hit the next person who looked at him, but as he met Hinata's eyes they softened and he gave her a nod.
"I'll go make some breakfast, go ahead and tell us what's up." The female said, however, it wasn't nearly time for breakfast it was almost one o'clock. Hinata heard the fridge open and close along with pots and pans being found.
"Well, Sasuke and his band are doing a music video and I'm directing it and I need some crew members.. so will you guys want to help? Did I mention that you guys are going to get paid?" Hinata said eagerly to the three.
"Oh, that means I get to hand out with Shikamaru more! Wouldn't that be great Gaara, Kankuro?!" the blonde replied happily nearly jumping from what Hinata saw from the kitchen.
"Yay, so fun we get to hang with pineapple head." the dark haired male said as he lazily placed his hand up in the air. The red head rolled his green eyes and looked at the Hyuuga.
"I figured Temari would be up for it, but I don't know about you two, but as I said that you three are getting paid and the best part is you get to hang out with me!" Hinata said cheerfully as everyone nodded.
"When do we start?" Gaara said as she laid back on his chair and smiled at his two siblings.
"Um.. After classes on Tuesday. I'll have Kiba send you the storyboard along with everything we already have planned. I need to go see Kiba now, thanks guys and I'll see you on Tuesday. She then left the three to do their own business and let herself out of the house. Once out she pulled out her phone and called Kiba telling him to meet with her at the cafe they usually go to he agreed and she proceeded to call Shino and invite him, unfortunately he had to work for the rest of the day.
"You need to send Temari everything that we covered for the shoot, so please make sure to do that tonight, if not we would have to postpone the shoot for another day." Hinata informed Kiba as she started to drink her tea. Kiba nodded as he looked at the young female, she looked tired and if it meant doing one thing for her then he would do it.
"Are you gonna go to school on Monday?" he asked watching her eyes wonder around the room. Her eyes stopped and widened and Kiba looked at what she was staring at and it was Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Hinata and gave her a smile and she shyly waved at him. Had he followed her around town? Did he know who she was? She looked at Kiba who gave her a confusing look then back at his cup of coffee.
"I don't know yet. I just might take the day off to catch up on some things." She said quietly. Suddenly, Sasuke approached the two and stood at the end of the table the two occupied.
"So this is where you ended up coming to. Huh?" Sasuke said to Hinata as he looked down to Hinata. He held his coffee and raised it up towards his mouth and took a drink. Hinata looked at Kiba who was giving her hand motions and concerned eyes trying to get her to try to explain by miming everything.
"Ah, yeah. Sasuke this is my friend Kiba. Kiba this is Sasuke he is one of my cousins movie subjects. Sasuke this is Kiba he is one of my best friends." Hinata gave the two introductions. Sometimes it was hard for her to keep her identity a secret because of conflicts like this, but somehow when she gave a back story people would believe it. Sasuke nodded and extended his hand towards Kiba who took it back and shook it. After the introductions Sasuke was invited to sit down.
"I was wondering and I don't mean to pry into Nata's life, but you two have similar names. I thought it over and I've known Kakashi for quite a while, but I've never known him to have a daughter can you explain please?" Sasuke asked. Hinata somehow panicked, but she knew she had to keep calm if she didn't then she would blow her cover. She knew that this question was going to come around sooner or later.
"My cousin was born and got the name Natalee, but she shortened it so that explains the name part. Kakashi is actually Nata's step-father, but my auntie Anko had married my fathers twin brother so that sort of explains why we look similar." Hinata replied as she smiled at the two in front of her.
"Ah, Kiba I'm suppose to be at home in fifteen minutes do you mind walking me home?" she asked her friend Kiba nodded and gave a short wave to Sasuke. The two left and Kiba looked back to check if anyone was around them before talking.
"What the hell! You scared the hell out of me!" he shouted towards his friend. Hinata laughed it off and looked at the wild haired male.
"Well it's done now, I can't back out on anything now. I'm going to head to my aunts house and tell her what happened. I'll let you know if I'm going on Monday and please be sure to send the assignment to everyone!" Hinata said as she left her friend to go home.
I apologize for the very sucky chapter. Next one will be better. :D Love you guys and leave a review!
