Chapter 2: Confusion
xxx
I groaned as I felt the throbbing pain in my head as I finally came back to the land of the living. My head was throbbing so painfully, and my right arm wasn't any better, if anything, it throbbed worse then my pounding head. I squeezed my closed eyelids tightly together, as though that would help my burning body to stop hurting so much. But, even though I hate to admit it, I have been through far worse pain before than the pain that is running though out my body right now. In fact, this pain feels like nothing compared to what I have had to go through when living with the Hyuuga's, and then when they found me that one time... I groaned again, but my body tensed up immediately when I heard a a feminine voice whisper out from above me "Shh, she's waking up!"
'What the...?' I thought, but I didn't dare to open my eyes.
What if the Hyuuga's have found me again? I shivered inwardly at the thought. I can not and will not live through that kind of pain ever again! But, what if it is them? Wait, how did they find me in the first place? I can't remember what happened before I woke up! 'C'mon, Hina-chan, think! What was the last thing you saw before waking up to... well, to wherever I am now?' I encouraged myself to find the information I needed in the back of my brain. I thought hard, my body still tense as I vaguely felt people moving around in the room I am in, until I finally remembered.
Two big, blinding lights that were dangerously close to me came into my minds eye, and I gasped in shock. "You're right, Tem! She's waking!" A male voice came this time, making me tense my body even more.
Everything was coming back to me now. From the frustrated and depressed tears that wanted to fall down my pale face when I was searching for food in the trash can, to seeing my ill friend and promising her that I will steal to get us food, to sneaking up behind the fat man when someone finally ordered two hot dogs, to the fat man cursing me as I ran away from him and the angry people and the filthy names they called me, to feeling the terrified feeling that went through me as I saw those two bright lights heading straight toward me... then nothing. What were those two big, blinding lights? Is that the reason why I am here... wherever here is?
"Hey, little girl, wake up." Came the woman again as she started to shake me gently by my shoulder, only making my nervous state go up another notch. But, I did as I was told, and opened my lavender tinted eyes, just to come eye to eye with two beautiful greenish blue coloured eyes that belonged to a girl. I have never seen such a colour before, yet most people could say the same thing about my eyes. "Finally you're up!" She exclaimed in a happy voice.
I sat up in the comfortable bed I was placed in, placing my head in the palm of my left hand, seeming as my right arm was bandaged up. I took my time to look around the room and my mouth would have dropped open if I hadn't been holding my head in my hand. The room was a deep, rich blue colour with a huge window next to the cerulean blue blanket covered bed that I am sitting in. I could see that the huge window led out onto a balcony. There was a large sofa in one corner of the room, along with drawers and two closets and a desk and desk chair. On the desk was a flat screened computer. To the left of me was a door that was slightly open, showing me that it was a privet bathroom. Opposite me is the door that must be the one to let you out of this beautiful room.
I looked over to the first person in the room and was surprised to see a beautiful woman sitting in the desk chair next to the bed, smiling down at me. She had dirty blonde coloured hair that was kind of frizzy and was set in four pony tails. Two were on the top of her head and the other two were on the base of her neck. She was the one with the greenish blue eyes I had seen when I had first opened my eyes. She looked to be a few years older than me and had a slim but well-built body. She's wearing a dark purple top that has no sleeves and has "Kiss Me" written on the front in bold, red letters. She also wore dark blue denim three-quarters and she had no shoes on.
After I had taken a good look at the woman, I looked to the opposite side of me to see a tall man staring down at me with a blank face, but I could see a tinge of relief cross his face for a split second. I saw that his eyes were a lot like the woman's but they were more pale and didn't look so blue as the blonde smiling woman's. He has messy brunette hair that has black streaking through it if you look at his hair in the right light. He was also well-built and I could see muscles under his deep red coloured shirt that had "Puppet Master" written in a lighter red on the shirt. He was wearing dark blue jeans with red stripes going down the outside of his legs. He also had no shoes on.
"Hi there!" The woman started talking again, making me turn to face her. "My name is Temari Sabaku, and the man standing on the other side of the bed is my younger brother, Kankuro Sabaku." The woman was still smiling down at me as she cocked her head to the side and asked "What's you're name?"
'Should I tell them my name?' This thought ran through my head for a long time, and I think the two people in the room were starting to wonder if I could understand what they were saying, or if I just couldn't talk, until I finally decided. "M-My name i-is H-Hyuuga Hinata." I don't usually stutter, but come on, give me a break! I don't even know where I am or why I am hurting!
As though reading my thoughts, the man, Kankuro, starting talking for the first time. "I know you must be very confused, so let us explain. My little brother accidentally hit you with his car, so he brought you home so that my sister, Temari-nee-chan..." He nodded his head toward Temari encase I had forgotten that was her name "..She looked after you and wants to help you heal." He finished and I took the information in, trying to digest it all.
Now I know what those big, scary lights were!
All I could say was "O-Oh." There was nothing else to say. I was still trying to figure all of this out. If the man's little brother had hit me, where is he now? Why are they being so nice to me, a lowly homeless person? Are they going to let me go back "home" soon? My eyes opened wide and my heart stopped as the next question to pop into my racing mind was:
Are they working for the Hyuuga's?
They could be! That would explain why they are being so nice to me! They want me to trust them with my life, and then when I finally open up to them, they will throw me back to the Hyuuga's and let my family do whatever they want to do to me! No, I can't let that happen! I need to get out of here! "GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed out as I jumped onto the bed, glaring at the two shocked faces.
"What the hell?!" The man, Kankuro? Yeah, Kankuro, shouted out, still with a gob smacked look on his face.
The woman, Temari, on the other hand, seemed to come out of her shock because she scolded the man, her little brother "Don't shout at her! Can't you see that she is still confused, you baka?!" She then turned to face me, or well look up at my form, as I stood on the bed I had been using not even a few minutes ago to sleep in. "Shh. Its okay." She talked to me like I was a three year old! "We're not going to hurt you, if that is what you think." She said in a soothing, calm voice and I almost believed her, but then flashes of being in the Hyuuga household made me realize not to trust anyone, especially strangers.
I glared hatefully at them as I spat out "No, you're not going to hurt me. You're going to leave that to the Hyuuga's, aren't you?! You work for those barbarians, don't you?! Well I'm not falling for the plan! You're going to have to knock me out and drag me to the Hyuuga household if you want me to get there!" I shouted out, not loosing my tuff-guy attitude, although on the inside I was shaking like a leaf.
Before either one of us could react, the door to the bedroom was throw open, making me turn around to face it, and in came a beaming man. He has sun kissed blonde hair with streaks of darker blonde in his hair. He has the most cerulean blue eyes I have ever seen with innocence shinning out of them. He has a huge smile on his face, showing his large white teeth and he has six scars on his face, three on each side, on his cheeks. I could see his muscles through his thin white wife beater and he wore long black, baggy jeans, and, the same as the other two, he wore no shoes. "Hey, g-... What's going on?" He asked when he had seen me standing on the bed, his smile slowly fading.
"I dunno, Naruto! She accused us of working with someone called 'Hyuuga'." Kankuro said, making me glare at him again, before the glare turned back to the blonde man who has just walked through the door, Naruto.
"Who are the Hyuuga's?" He asked, confused. Ha, like he didn't know!
"Exactually!" Kankuro shouted out, his arms flying in the air.
The blonde boy, Naruto I had found out, turned back to look at me and smiled a small smile. "You look terrified." He stated to me, and I had a sudden urge to hit him for stating the truth. I am terrified, terrified of possibly going back to the Hyuuga's. That's the last place on Earth I want to be. "I dunno who these Hyuuga's are, or why you are so afraid of them, but we don't work with anybody." He said and walked toward the bed. I took a step back, still not sure whether to believe him or not. He did look pretty innocent. He stretched out his arm for me to take, a friendly smile on his handsome face. "Trust us? We are the ones who helped you, keep in mind." It sounded like he was teasing me, but I didn't know for sure.
I stared at his outstretched hand for the longest time, then looked at his friendly face. I really wanted to believe him... All of them, but I've never been able to trust anyone but Ino-chan in my whole life. Pretty sad, huh?
I bit my lip as my good hand slowly reached out to take his own. I placed my small, delicate hand into his larger one, then when I knew that he thought I trusted him, I sharply pulled him onto the bed, and I jumped off at the same time he landed face first into the bed. I made a little "Thump" noise as I landed, and didn't even give any of them a second glace as I sprinted out of the open door.
I was nearly to the end of the corridor when I heard the woman, Temari, shout out "We have to get her! She's not in a good enough condition to be moving around!" And with that I heard three pairs of stomping feet start to run after me as I turned the corner.
My arm was throbbing all the more painfully as I ran, and the throbbing pain in my head was making me feel dizzy. Even though I have felt much worse pain in my life, I didn't have much energy, so I knew I needed somewhere to hide. I could already hear their footsteps getting louder and louder as they came closer and closer to catching me. 'Where can I hide?' I asked myself. I looked to the right of me to see a door, so I threw myself inside and closed the door softly behind me. I listened until I heard them go passed, and when I was sure they were gone, I let out a breath I had been unconsciously holding and placed my back against the door.
I gasped as I finally took a good look around the room. The room had loads of different furniture in the room, almost making it hard to walk around in the room. Every furniture had a thin white blanket draped over it, so that no one could see the furniture, though I could still easily make out the shapes of the furniture. There was only one thing in the room which didn't have a white blanket draped across it, and that was a tall mirror.
My unique eyes seemed to be fix on the tall mirror that had golden patterns on the frame of it. I have never seen such a clean mirror before. There was an old mirror that was left behind in the basement where Ino-chan and myself live, but it is very dirty and we have tried to get all the dust and dirt off of it, but we still can't seem to see through it, only the outline of our figures we can see, because of the mold on it. This is the first time I have ever seen such a big, clean mirror before, and I found myself walking toward it, my eyes still fixed onto the object.
I finally placed myself in front of the mirror, and gasped at my reflection. I thought I would find a scruffy, ugly looking girl, but I almost cried when I saw a clean, young woman stare back at me. Had they cleaned me? My hair which was once knotty and greasy and dry was now back to its once soft, silky, straight looking hair. I could see my natural streaks of midnight blue in my hair and I shakily placed my hand on my hair, just to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. And they were not. And I found out that my hair feels as silky and soft as it looks.
My eyes traveled down my body and I blushed a whole new shade of dark red. When had I... grown up? The last time I had looked in a proper must have been when I was five and tiny. But now, I am much taller with curves in all the right places and... and when did those grow?! Their huge! My chest was flat the last time I checked, but now they are almost as big as the social worker who tried to take me to an orphanage before. I think her name was Tsunade.
I am now wearing a small piece of silk clothing which I'm going to guess is used for sleeping in. It is a pale pink and the clothing only reaches my mid thigh! And if that isn't embarrassing enough, the straps on it are flimsy and are hanging off of my shoulders. I can see from the clothing that I am wearing that I am very thin, thinner than a normal, healthy person. I can see my ribs and I can wrap my pinky finger and my thumb around my wrist easily.
I saw that my head was bandaged, and by the little patch of blood on it, I guessed that I must have bumped my head when the car had run over me. Also, my arm was bandaged and I knew that the car must have run over my arm.
I jumped when I heard a deep voice practically purr behind me "What are you doing out of bed?"
I span around on the heels of my bare feet and came face to face with the most handsome man I have ever seen before. He has hair the colour of blood, yet in the right light it looks like fire. His eyes are breath takingly beautiful. They are the most intense jade colour I have ever seen and I wondered briefly if he was related to Kankuro and Temari. Just like the other boys I have met today, he is muscular, but not too muscular. I noticed he has two dark circles, each around his shocking emerald coloured eyes. He has a tattoo on the left side of his forehead, but I don't understand what it means, I just know that it is a Japanese symbol for something. He is wearing a red shirt, the same blood red colour as his hair that has no sleeves and is plain. He is wearing baggy jeans and white trainers.
"I-I, u-um.." What if he works for the Hyuuga's too!? Oh, crap! What do I do now?!
He raised a very thin eyebrow, so thin it is almost unnoticeable, at me. "Well, are you going to answer me?" He asked, a smirk curving onto his full lips as his eyes traveled down my body. Why do I feel as though I am naked all of a sudden??
"I-I..." I stuttered once more until I found my courage once again. No, I won't let this man in front of me see that I am truly afraid of going back to the Hyuuga's and facing my Father. I took a deep breath and glared at him. "No. I won't answer you! Now, take me back home!" I demanded, and by the surprised look on his handsome face, he hadn't expected it. I kinda surprised myself there for a moment too.
Before he could say anything else, the door I had come through burst open and in came the three I was trying to loose. "Ha! We have you now!" Shouted Temari, a triumphant smile grazing her lips. The boys behind her high-fived each other and gave each other a tap on the back. I raised my eyebrow at them, but I decided not to ask and I just ran for it while they were distracted. I forgot about the redheaded man as I ran through another door to my right, and only when I heard him shout out "Stop!" did I remember that someone was watching me and was now running after me, hot on my heals.
"Stop!" He shouted "Why are you running away?!" He asked, right behind me.
I "Eep!"-ed and ran even faster, trying to block out the immense pain I was feeling. I saw a set of stairs come into my view, and just as he was about to grab me from behind, I jumped from the top step all the way down to the bottom, landing like a cat, gracefully. I glanced up and saw the redheaded man at the top of the stairs with his mouth agape and his eyes wide out of surprise. I bet he didn't think I could do such a thing, especially since I'm in a lot of pain, but then again he doesn't know me, but I am very good when it comes to fighting and protecting myself, seeming as I have had to do it all my life.
I took one last look at him, smirking a triumphant smirk at him, before turning on my heel and running as fast as I could away from him and the rest of the group that was following me around this mansion.
After running around for five agonizing minutes, I finally found what must be the front door. It was huge and gold and just looked like a front door, so I decided it was the front door! I ran toward it, and just as I was about to grab onto the shinny gold handle, someone wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me back into their hard chest. I "Eep!"-ed once more before looking up at the smug face of the redhead I met not too long ago.
When I saw the triumphant grin creep onto his face, just like the one I had smirked, I started to squirm in his tight embrace. "Let. Me. Go!" I shouted out while I was still trying to wiggle my way out for his iron like grip.
"Nope." Was his short and simple answer.
I stopped struggling when the pain finally got too much and I vaguely saw Temari, Kankuro and Naruto watching me and the redhead from the other side of the hall. I panted lightly and I couldn't keep the groan of pain in when the throbbing in my head and my arm got more intense. "You've hurt yourself now, haven't you? If you had just stopped running and stopped trying to wiggle you're way from me, then you wouldn't be in so much pain." He was talking to me as though I was a three year old child, just like Temari had!
"Don't talk to me like a child! And let me go!!" I shouted out, using my injured arm by mistake to hit him on one of his arms that were still wrapped around my small body. "Oww!" I whined out, tears of pain burning at the back of my eyes. No, I won't let them fall!
He chuckled at my pain and I felt it vibrate onto my back. "I will let you go if you promise not to run away and have some food. You're too thin." He said, making his statement clear by pinching my stomach, trying to pinch the flab that just wasn't there. But, I didn't notice what he was doing because my brain was going haywire. Food? Why was that so important to me again? Just then Ino-chan's thin, ill form lying on the cardboard bed flashed before my eyes, making me gasp.
"N-No!" I shouted. "Leave me alone! I want to go home!" I started trying to wiggle out of his grip once again.
He just held me tighter and asked "Why do you insist on going home right this second, when you should be in bed trying to heal?" His voice held a note of curiosity, and I decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell him the truth.
"Please let me go!" I was actually begging now. "I need to get home to my ill friend. There's no one else that will help her!" I told him, hoping against hope that he will let me go home to Ino-chan and... well, I guess I'm going to have to steal off of the fat man again and this time keep an extra eye out for the person who orders for the hot dog, because I don't think I'll be lucky enough to get away twice.
He stayed quite for what felt like ages to me, until finally he said "Temari, get you're keys."
And I had never felt so relieved in my life.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I watched her from the corner of my eyes. She was sitting next to me in the car. Temari was in the front, driving. I had wanted to drive, but she had told me that I had been in one accident as it is. I realized then that they were all going be to making fun of me for Kami knows how long now. Oh, what joy it is to have such a loving family, I am so lucky. I rolled my eyes at my sarcastic thought.
But back to the young woman sitting next to me. I can't get over how much she has changed. When I had run over her, she had been scruffy looking with dirt and grime covering her from head to foot. But now... . She still had the small night dress on and I could see all of her fine curves and her full breasts. They are huge! I coughed and looked away from her breasts, a small blush forming on my face. She has the most silkiest and softest looking hair I have ever come across and I can't help the sudden urge that came to me, begging me to touch her midnight blue streaked hair. Her skin is a beautiful pale colour and her eyes are breath takingly beautiful. They remind me of the moon, but instead of a yellow glow like the moon, her eyes have a lavender tint to them, just making them even more unique to me.
I still don't know her name, like she doesn't know mine, but I get the feeling she doesn't want to know my name. That brings me back to the question that has been bugging me ever since she first ran away from me and my family:
Why did she run away in the first place?
I decided that I was going to asked her. I coughed get her attention. She looked over at me warily, making my stomach do painful flips. Why did it hurt me to see her... scared of me? Why was she scared of me in the first place? Maybe its because I am the one who ran her over... but I didn't do it on purpose. "What is you're name?" I decided to go with simple questions first.
She glared at me hatefully then, making my stomach once again cramp painfully. "I think you know who I am, since you're trying to take me back to the Hyuuga's. Well, you're plan isn't going to work!" She spat out, trying to shuffle away from me. This time my heart squeezed itself painfully, knowing that she didn't want to be around me. But why was I feeling with way all of a sudden? And who are the Hyuuga's? Why is she so afraid to go back to the Hyuuga's? "But, if you still want to pretend that you don't know my name, then it is Hinata Hyuuga." She said, and I became even more confused. She was a Hyuuga? So then, was she trying to run away from them??
"My name is Gaara Sabaku, Temari and Kankuro's younger brother... the one who ran over you." I was ashamed to admit the last sentence. Just looking at her bandeges that were hiding the wounds that I had caused, made me want to hurt myself, or make it up to her somehow. "I'm sorry... for running over you." I told her, and part of me needed her to forgive me, though I have no idea why.
She looked surprised when I had apologised, but she soon pulled herself back together and muttered "You're forgiven." Under her breath, but I still heard, and I smiled at her in thanks.
I decided to try and asked who the Hyuuga's are next. "Um, you are accusing us of working with the Hyuuga's, but I have no idea who they are." I told her, letting her hear all the confusion in my voice, because I was totally confused. Why was she running away from her family? And I know that its her family because its obvious seeming as she has the same last name as the people she is talking about.
She rolled her beautiful, unique eyes at me and said "Will you stop pretending? I am on to you're plan. I know you are working with them so that they will have me once more, but I'm not going back to them, no matter what you do. Like I told you're siblings, you're going to have to knock me out and drag me back to the Hyuuga household because I am not going back there willingly." Just by the way she had talked about going back to the Hyuuga household, I could tell she was afraid to go back, but why?
This girl, Hinata... I only met her yesterday and that was only because I had run over her, but for some reason I want to know everything about her. She is mysterious and I like that kind of thing.
I have decided, here and now, that I am going to somehow find out everything there is to know about her.
I sighed and said "If I was working for the Hyuuga's, and I would take you back to the household like you had just said, then why am I letting you go back home? I think that if I was working for them, I would have just taken you straight to the Hyuuga household, don't you? Why would I have made sure that Temari-nee-chan looked after you?" I asked her, hoping for her to believe me.
She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again with an audible click. I knew she was thinking about what I had just said, until finally her shoulders slumped. "I-I guess you're right. I'm just being paranoid. Jus-Just promise me that you're not working with them." She said, and I felt relief flow through me once she had admitted that she believes me. I don't know why I was so happy, but at the moment, I really don't care why.
"I promise." I said, and a warm feeling exploded inside of me when I saw her smile for the first time, and it was because of me!
I was about to ask her about the Hyuuga's, but before I had a chance, Hinata suddenly shouted out to my Nee-chan "Stop, here's the place!"
I looked out of my window and winced. This was the exact same spot where I had hit her with my car. I can't believe I hit her so close to her home! Temari parked and Hinata instantly jumped out, and I got out along with her.
I was about to ask her where her house was when she started running. I wanted to scold her, to tell her not to run because she is only hurting herself more, but before I could, she turned a corner and ran into an alley. Why was she going into an alley? I started to run too to keep up with her. I ran and also turned the corner and ran into the alley.
I thought I would see Hinata opening the door to her house, but instead I saw her crouching down in front of a broken window that had a rag in front of it, and I knew that inside would most probably be an abandoned basement. But why was she going down there? She should be going home...?? And then it hit me... the reason why she is so thin, why she had looked so scruffy,why she is climbing into an abandoned basement...
Hinata's homeless...
That's the second chappy done. I really don't know what to think about this chappy, so you tell me what you think of it. Like it? Hate it?? Whichever one, please R&R and tell me!!
Thankies!!
