Hey everyone! I just want to say that I am so pleased with all of the reviews that I got and all of the follows and faves, too! (\(^-^)/) Basically, all of them made me smile and laugh and made me want to keep on writing. Again, thank you guys and here is chappie 2!
Xxx Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me, but to Masashi Kishimoto xxX
Hinata was in the middle of folding and stacking shirts onto shelves just as one of the boys flipped the open sign to closed. She carefully watched the redhead while she placed the shirt gently on top of another previously folded shirt. She continued to watch him as he walked past the front counter, where the other boy was standing, counting the money that they had earned for the day. She stared as both boys sent daggers at one another, but then smirked as one went back to counting the money and the other disappeared into the back room.
A shiver soon traveled up and down Hinata's spine when she noticed that the one at the counter was looking at her as he placed the tips into the cash register after he counted the money. She immediately went back to tidying up the crinkled t-shirts when she notices the devilish smirk that he was giving her. A bead of sweat starts to drip down her cheek when she starts to get a nervous feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
Oh why did I have to say yes? She thinks sorrowfully to herself. She knew that something bad was going to happen, just from the looks on both boys faces, but she just didn't know if it was going to be bad for her personal well-being, or for the store itself. She soon starts to think back to what Karin had said to her, right before Kushina had ushered her and Naruto out of the shop just as the rain started to trickle down.
Flashback... (1 Hour Earlier)
Hinata had just put her empty foam cup into the trashcan when Karin called her over to the stairs in the back room. Hinata gave the girl a wary look, but reluctantly walked over to the girl. She stopped in front of her and started to tap her fingers nervously together.
Karin simply looked around the back room, before roughly grabbing onto Hinata's hand and dragging her up the stairs. Once upstairs, Karin pushed Hinata on the couch and sat next to her, looking at the confused bluenette with a serious expression.
Hinata only fidgeted more when Karin did not say a word to her. "Um.. Karin-"
"Hinata, listen to me, and listen to me well." Karin interrupted harshly as she grabbed Hinata by her shoulders. "I need to warn you about Sasori and Gaara before you spend the night with them."
Hinata's eyes had grown wide with shock and fear since she didn't know what she needed to be warned about. "Uh.. o-okay."
With a nod from Hinata, Karin placed her hands on her lap and looked straight ahead.
"Now, I've never had to spend an entire night alone with those two, but I did have to spend three days of closing up shop with them and I have to warn you that those two are crazy."
Hinata's lip soon started to quiver. "C-Crazy how?"
Karin sighed and turned to look at her. "Let's just say that they are... unpredictable. One day, they could be fighting like cats and dogs, and you have to be the person to separate them. The next day, they could be kind and buddy buddy with each other, because after all, they are frenemies. And then the day after that... that day is a day that I pray that they won't be like for you tonight; especially since you have to spend all night with them thanks to the storm."
For some strange reason, Hinata had felt her cheeks burn lightly when she mentioned this to her. She had a feeling that the last thing was going to be something bad... and dirty.
"You see Hinata," Karin started with a sigh as she placed her hand on her shoulder. "those two... they have... well they are... how do I put this in a way that won't offend you're innocent little brain." Hinata laughed nervously at Karin's somewhat insult. "Well you see, Gaara and Sasori, since they're also best friends and not just rivals, they like to, um, play games."
"Games?" Hinata blinked in confusion. "What kind of games?"
Karin then started to rub her arm nervously and the corner of her mouth twitched irritably. "Well~... sometimes, they like to play... sexual fantasies."
"WHA-!"-
End Of Flashback...
"Hey!"
Hinata is immediately jerked back to reality with a slight jump, thanks to the shout. She quickly turns to the source of the voice with flushed cheeks and a shirt clutched close to her chest. Her breath instantly hitched in her throat when she sees both Gaara and Sasori standing behind the counter, looking at her with bored expressions.
Hinata just continues to stare at the two with wide eyes and a quivering bottom lip as she waits patiently for one of them to speak. Finally one of them does.
"Hey you," Sasori calls out to her, causing her to jump lightly. He, in turn, simply smiles devilishly at her fear. "What was you're name again?"
Hinata fidgets, but replies politely back. "H-Hinata."
"Well Hinata," Gaara starts as he crosses his arms over his chest. "Hurry up and finish folding that shirt so we can head upstairs." when he notices Hinata about to ask him something, he quickly responds. "Don't even bother asking if we're done, either."
Sasori nods and places a hand on Gaara's shoulder. "Yeah. Gaara, here, has already done all the money, and I have already cleaned up our mess in the back." he gives Hinata a wink. "The only person not done with their chore is you."
Hinata's blush intensifies and her hold on the shirt tightens. "S-Sorry."
"Don't worry about it." Sasori waves her off, but then both he and Gaara quickly give her serious stares. She stiffens.
"Just hurry up and finish so we can go upstairs, like I said before." Gaara says monotonously. "We'll wait right here for you."
"Um..." Hinata blinks.
"Just don't keep us waiting long, Hinata." Hinata freezes at the coldness in Sasori's once lovely voice. "I'm not one to be kept in wait for very long."
Now Hinata really feels nervous. She's starting to sweat, shake, fidget, and she's not even able to hold their stare. Instead, her eyes move to the box of shirts that is nearly empty that is right beside her. She stares at the box for a few seconds, but then jerks her head up to look at the two, who were still staring at her.
She smiles innocently. "Y-You guys don't h-have to stay down here with me." she then points to the box. "I don't have that much left to do, s-so if you guys want to go up without me, y-you can. I don't m-mind being down here by myself." as soon as she's done speaking, she starts to fold the shirt that she holding onto. Once she's done, she places the shirt on the shelf and moves to pick up the box. However, as she's reaching for it, Hinata looks up in time just to see Sasori and Gaara staring at each other. She raises a brow and stands up straight, empty handed.
As soon as she's standing again, both boys nod to each other and look at her seriously.
"Are you sure?" Sasori asks, almost concerned, but not.
"Yes." Hinata nods and places a hand on her chest. She was getting a bad feeling again. Why were they acting concerned all of sudden? It was a little suspicious if you asked her.
Both boys look to one another once more with blank faces, but Hinata could tell that there was something more meaningful to their gaze. After about ten seconds of them acting awkward in her opinion, they look back at her and Sasori just smiles.
"Alright." he chimes while draping his arm around Gaara's neck. "We'll leave you to your chores." he winks at her again. "I can tell when I'm being rejected." he chuckles and Hinata just blushes and gives him a shy smile.
"Just make sure you come up as soon as you finish." Gaara pipes in, and once again, the mood is solemn. Hinata gulps. "That means no fooling around when you're done. That means coming right upstairs with us. Got it?"
Hinata quickly nods her head rapidly and grabs the end of her sweater dress. "Y-Yes."
"Good!" Sasori cheers as he pulls Gaara's head closer to his. Hinata raises a brow at their random act of goofiness right after their grim attitudes. They're weird.
Hinata continues to stare at them in question when she notices Sasori whispering something rather harshly into Gaara's ear, earning him a death glare from the male. And like before, within ten to fifteen seconds, the two were standing straight again, with one pouting and the other smiling.
"Well," Sasori waves and then starts to drag Gaara by his neck to the stairs. "I guess we'll see you when you're done. See you soon!" and with that, he drags Gaara up the stairs, with the redhead growling and cursing the entire trip about his neck hurting.
"See you soon." Hinata waves weakly as the two disappear to the second floor. Once they're gone, she lets out a much needed sigh. "Man that was awkwardly weird." she then looks to the box. "I better get this done." she then looks back to the stairs. She starts to pout and whisper. "But I don't want to go up there too soon." her eyes downcast and she crosses her arms under her chest. "I'm scared of what they might do to me. They were acting really strange a few seconds ago." her sight goes back to the box of shirts. She sighs. "Maybe I'll just work slowly then..."
And without a second though in her mind, Hinata grabs the nearly empty box, and lethargically walks to the opposite side of the room. Once on the other side, she sets the box down on the floor and slowly starts to fold two to three shirts before placing them on the shelves. When she's done with the shelves, she picks up the box again and stalks to the middle of the room. Once in the middle, she puts the box down and takes out a few shirts, folds them, and then places them down on the circle table.
When she goes to grab another shirt, she realizes that she's run out of shirts to fold and place. Slowly, Hinata stands up again and bends backwards to try and crack her back with a sigh. As soon as she hears the satisfying 'pop', she stands straight again and twist her body. While twisting around to relieve the slight pain from cracking her back, she pulls up the sleeve on her right arm to reveal a cute little chibi panda and bunny watch. She checks the time and looks ahead of her in thought as she now stands motionless.
"Hmm.." she hums softly to herself. "It took me half an hour to fold and place the shirts." she smiles and looks to the stairs. She giggles while placing a fist to her lips. "I think I've kept those two waiting long enough. Maybe I should head up now before they act weird again."
And with that thought close to mind, Hinata pulls down her sleeve, picks up the empty box, and walks into the back room. Once she enters, she flicks on the light and walks between one of the aisles until she's in the very back.
Suddenly, as she bends down to place the box on the floor, Hinata hears a noise. She pauses, but brushes it off as one of the guys coming down to get her. However, when the noise gets louder and the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach comes back, she stands erect with the box still in her hands. She turns around quickly and looks about the room.
With her eyes wide and filled with fright and nervousness, she calls out. "Hello?... Sasori?... Gaara?..."
When she doesn't receive any response back, Hinata starts to panic when she hears the noise one last time. Her body starts to tremble with fear, and not wanting to stay downstairs by herself any longer, she quickly sets the box down as gently as she can, and speed walks down the aisle.
As soon as she's out of the aisle, Hinata releases a short breath of relief when she sees the stairs. She was only a mere few feet away from the stairs. All she had to do now was to turn off all of the lights for the first floor and then make her escape upstairs.
Feeling happy, Hinata makes her way quickly towards the opening next to the stairs so that she can turn off the lights. Just as she was about flick the lights off, out of nowhere, a large gloved hand wraps tightly around Hinata's mouth and waist.
Her first instinct was to scream, but she was silenced by the hand covering her mouth. Her second instinct was to try and pry the hand away from her mouth, but the person holding onto her was strong, very strong. Since she was too preoccupied with trying to break free, Hinata only just now realizes that there was not only one, but multiple people surrounding her.
Her eyes widen greatly as her back was now being tightly pressed against an obviously tall and muscular man's chest. She quickly tries once more to scream for help, but as soon as she starts, one of the attackers whispers harshly to the man holding her.
"Shut her up!" he says, and through the eye sockets in his mask, he glares at her.
Immediately after the command, the man holding her tightens his grip on her, nearly crushing her in the process. Her eyes quickly shut tight with tears slipping through. When she opens her eyes again, she takes the time to count how many assailants were with her exactly.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 5. There is five of them... including the one holding onto me... Why is this happening? What is going on? Where are Gaara and Sasori?!
Suddenly, Hinata feels her face being forcefully jerked forward, with her cheeks being smushed together so that her mouth forms a sloppy 'o'. She looks on with fearful eyes as one of the assailants comes close to her face while looking her up and down. She easily sees through his mask the smirk he has as he looks at her.
"So tell me hot stuff," she blushes, but is disgusted by the fact that some stranger, let alone burglar, just called her hot. "where do you keep all your cash?"
"And don't give us a smart ass answer like 'the cash register', you hear me?" whispers the third one. He then points to the register where the fourth guy was already taking the money out of the register. "Our friend is already in the process of emptying it."
Hinata's eyes start to fill with tears once more. She couldn't figure out where on Earth Sasori and Gaara were and how they weren't able to hear what was going on. She needed their help. She can't handle all of these guys by herself. Not to mention, she was scared that they might try to... sexually assault her from the way that a couple of the guys were staring at her. The only thing that keeps popping into her mind at the thought of them assaulting her was that of her boyfriend coming inside of the shop wanting to kill everyone of them for even thinking such vile thoughts. But sadly, her boyfriend was not here now, Sasori and Gaara were, but they were nowhere to be found.
Hinata's tears fall when she feels one of the burglars feel up and down her sides while moaning in pleasure. She gasps.
Gaara... Sasori... Somebody... Help me... **sniff**
"She's taking forever, Gaara." Sasori states while watching TV in the living room upstairs. The volume was turned up high so that he didn't have to hear the music coming from Gaara's one good earphone. "It shouldn't have taken her over thirty minutes to just stack some shirts."
Gaara only bobs his head to the music. "Well maybe it takes her awhile to do simple jobs." he turns his head to look at Sasori with a smirk. "If you're so worried about her, then why don't you go and check on her?"
Sasori immediately glares back at his smirking rival/best friend. "Shut up. I'm not the one that's supposed to be babysitting her. Like Kushina said, she's here to babysit us. So if we get into a fight and she's not up here to stop us, then it's on her, not us." he turns back to the TV with crossed arms. "So if she wants to take her free time after we told her come up quickly, then it's all on her. Got it, douche bag?"
"..." Gaara's smirk turns demonic as he turns back to his music and he lets out a deep chuckle. "You're an idiot, bastard."
"..."
"..."
As the two go back into silence, they both get this sinking feeling that something seriously bad was about to happen. They sit like this for about five to eight minutes before they hear something only heard out of horror films.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" out comes this blood curdling, high pitch scream that causes both boys to instantly jump from the couch, staring at each other knowingly.
"HINATA!"
Sorry if this didn't come out as good as I wanted it too, but to be honest, I wrote this entire thing between 2 A.M and 5:10 A.M. Anyway, I'm hoping that it came out pretty good. Also, I have a serious question to ask you readers that would really help me in writing the next chapter. Should I or should I not collaborate with my brother to write a minor/almost sex scene? My brother says that he has a good idea for the next chapter since this almost most likely leads to something. So I told him that before I make any decision like that, I would ask you guys. So please answer if you will, and also, don't forget to review, follow, and/or favor.
Thank you all so much for reading and again, I appreciate all of the previous reviews, follows, and favors. It really makes my day to know people like what I write. Anyway, have a good day or good night! Bye-Bye! ^^
(If you're a fan of all kinds of Hinata pairings, please go ahead and check out some of my other stories if you'd like. I am also open for suggestions on what kind of story to write next.)
