FLASHBACK
"Hinata Hyuuga!" the girl with buns on her head gasped in excitement. "As in the Hinata Hyuuga, heiress to Hyuuga Corporations?"
"No way!" said the blonde putting down her magazine.
"It couldn't be!" the pinkette disagreed.
Temari only smirked, "In the living flesh."
All of the girls started mobbing Temari with questions.
"Where did you find her?" blondie demanded.
"Is she another runaway?" the pinkette questioned.
"Why is she even here? She should have it made since she's a Hyuuga." The bun girl questioned.
While all of the girls were busy bombarding Temari with questions, Hinata just shrunk back. She was never used to being the center of attention, it always made her nervous and want to throw up. She started to feel nauseous.
Noticing the heiress's distress, Temari calmed the girls down.
"Okay ladies there will be plenty of time to question our latest member, but I think it's only proper for you girls to introduce yourselves first.
"Okay!" shot up the perky blonde. "My name is Ino Yamanaka, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
"My name is Tenten." said the brunette on the floor.
"I am Sakura Haruno." The pinkette icily said.
"H-h-hello everyone." Hinata whispered.
"Hinata, why don't you go over and take a seat on the couch by Ino?" Temari suggested.
"S-s-sure."
Hinata did as Temari said and took a seat over by the bubbly blonde. As she took her seat, Hinata noticed Ino was intensely staring at her.
"Is a pimple on my face or something?" Hinata squeaked.
"Oh it's nothing. It's just that this is the first time I've seen a Hyuuga's eyes up close before. I have to admit, they're really peculiar yet cute in a way. I love the lavender tint that there is to yours."
"T-t-thank you." Hinata stammered as she blushed. That had been the first time, besides her childhood friends Kiba and Shino; that anyone had ever complimented her eyes before. Most people she met were always weirded out by the fact that her eyes where white and had no pupils or irises. In elementary school, she would always be called E.T. because her classmates said her eyes made her look like an alien. Her father always told her that she should be proud of eyes because they are a blood trait that all Hyuugas possess that has been passed down thru generations and generations. However, Hinata never really grew up to accept her eyes like the rest of her family did.
"Ok Hinata." Hinata's attention adverted to Temari who was now sitting on a wooden stool. "It's about time you got the answers to some of your questions which I am sure you have plenty of. First off, you are in Tokyo, Japan living in our deluxe townhouse."
Tokyo! Hinata thought. How'd I end up all the way here!
"You're probably wondering why you're here. Well, the truth is I brought you here." Temari stated.
"What? But why?"
"Well, Hinata, I've been watching you for quite some time now. From your home, to the school you attend, and even to the café that you stop by everyday afterschool. Don't give me that look. I'm not a stalker. I'm more of, I guess you could say, a recruiter."
"Recruiter? Recruiter for what?" Hinata asked sounding a little skeptical.
"For our little organization called the Fatal Femme Fatales, or the FFF for short."
Hinata raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow, "Fatal Femme Fatales? What kind of organization is that?"
"Well we're not so much as organization. More like an all-female mob family!" Tenten explained.
"Mob family?" Hinata all but screeched. Great, she had only been a runaway for two days and she was already mixed up in a mob.
"What Tenten means is that some of the stuff we do aren't always considered what most people would call business appropriate, or legal." Ino tried to say while rubbing the back of her head. "We are more of a super-secret club that no one can find out about ESPECIALLY the cops. Right, Lady Temari?"
"Precisely Ino, you see Hinata we aren't the type of "club" that goes looking for members. We more so keep our eyes open for special recruits which in this case happens to be you."
"M-m-me? Exactly, why would you want to recruit me for this organization? What kind of things do I have to offer?"
"That's what I've been wondering too." Sakura said finally speaking up. "She just a spoiled little rich girl, what good can she do?"
Hinata cut her eyes towards Sakura. She was really starting not to like the vibe she gave off; it was making her want to rip her throat out.
"Well like I said before, I've been watching you for quite a while Hinata, and have been very intrusive when it came to your personal life at home and elsewhere but mostly at home. Do you get my point?" Temari pressed on staring straight at Hinata. "I know everything."
Hinata's eyes grew three times their normal size. For a moment, she couldn't breathe. She knows what my hellish life is like at home. She thought finally coming to her senses. What else does she know?
"So what if you do know, what does that have to with me being here?"
Temari smiled a devilish smile, "For starters, I knew that if I brought you here you wouldn't object considering you practically don't have a home to go back to."
Dammit, she has a point.
"Second, you are the heiress to one of the biggest financing corporations in Japan. You basically rubbed elbows with ceos and luxurious executives every night. You are what we need, an insider, someone who can give us useful information that we could use for the FFF. For example, who are the most prominent rich men? What are they like? Where do they live? What companies do they own?"
"Hold on wait a minute, slow down. Even if I could tell you any of those things, which I can, what purpose would it serve? Also what exactly does the FFF do?"
"The Fatal Femme Fatales is an organization that specializes in seducing, conning, and ultimately tricking gullible, overly privileged men into falling in love with us. Once we've captured their hearts, at the very last minute, we suck them dry for all their worth."
"S-s-suck them dry of what?" Who are these girls? Prostitutes? Or vampires?
"Their money, you stupid girl." Sakura spat.
"Sakura that is enough out of you!" shouted Temari with so much venom in her voice that Sakura cringed. She leaned back in her recliner and said no more.
"Don't mind her, Hina, Sakura is like that to all the new girls we get." Ino said comfortably to the Hyuuga while rubbing her arm.
" Don't worry, I'm used to dealing with bitchy people all the time." Hinata whispered to Ino giving a half smile that made the latter burst out into giggles. Sakura glared at the pair from the other side of the room but didn't say anything. Hinata spoke up, but instead, to Temari.
"Temari."
"Yes."
"So far I get the whole goal of the FFF but I'm still not understanding something. Who would start a group like this that makes you girls out to be like… like-"
"Golddiggers?" Temari answered.
"Yeah."
"Well you see Hinata to, answer that question I would I have to explain to you who founded the FFF in the first place and why they founded it. Which would take up too much time, and I've talked enough for one night. I'm pretty sure one of the girls will explain it to you on tomorrow's mission."
"Mission?" Hinata questioned sounding flabbergasted.
"Yes, but you will learn all about that tomorrow, too."
"Can I at least have an idea of what I will have to do?"
"Let's just say how you complete this mission will determine how worthy you are of being a Fatal Femme Fatal. Consider it a test." With that said, Temari rose off her stool. "Okay, enough chatter it's time for everyone to go to bed. We all have to rest for the upcoming mission tomorrow." Temari turned and left the room, leaving the rest of the girls to stare at each other.
"I need my beauty sleep. Good night." Sakura stiffly said as she left the room.
"Yeah, I might as well hit the sack too." Tenten yawned, grabbing her IPad, and then leaving. Only Ino and Hinata remained.
"Well I'm not tired, what about you?" Ino asked. Hinata just shook her head no; she was never one to go to bed early. Looking up at the clock on the wall, that was over the couch they were sitting on; it was only 10:15 anyway.
"That settles it, I say you come into my room and we have a little sleepover. Whaddya say?"
Hinata shrugged and agreed since she had nothing better to do anyway. She and Ino got up off the couch and Ino led Hinata to her bedroom. Once inside Ino's room, Hinata was fascinated with how appealing and purple it was. There were purple curtains, too cute violet throw pillows, and even a little purple alarm clock that was in the shape of a cats head. It was like a mini purple palace. Once she and Ino were situated on Ino's plushy bed, Ino started chattering a mile minute.
"I'm pretty sure you have more questions about the FFF that Temari didn't feel like answering. That's the problem with her, she never wants to be the one to sit you down and teach you the slopes and rather learn and find out for yourself. However, I figure I might as well give you the run down because there will be absolutely no time to explain all of this to you tomorrow." Ino paused making sure Hinata was paying attention. "Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." Hinata guessed.
"Hehe I like your attitude! Let's start from the beginning by talking about the woman who founded the FFF in the first place, Princess Tsunade."
A/N: Uh-oh cliffy! Hehe stay tuned for the third and final part of this installment of Tales from the Past.
