Chapter 2

"NOO! This can't be happening." The sound of Naruto's screaming was heard throughout the village it seemed. He pointed an accusing finger at Iruka, "Your cheating! There's no way you can eat more ramen than me, no way!" Naruto fished in his pocket and pulled out money, slamming it on the counter he yelled, "Two more bowls please!" Iruka laughed, he had just beaten Naruto in eating ramen twice in a row, he was full and out of money, "Hey Naruto didn't you say you had to be somewhere?" Naruto scratched his head, "I think I remember saying that but I can't remember where, any ways don't change the subject!" Iruka laughed and shook his head, "Ready...Set...EAT!"

"Naruto, where are you?" Hinata asked the darkness, she had been waiting for Naruto for over a few hours. She leaned against the cool metal of the lamp post; she wouldn't be so worried if it hadn't been so dark. If Neji had been here with her she would've felt a little better but he was off on a mission with his Sensei, Tenten, and Rock Lee. It was late but there was no way she would give up on Naruto, he was probably held up at training. She sucked in the cool air and sighed, she had that familiar feeling she was being watched, 'please don't be there, please don't be there.' She looked over her shoulder and sure enough the black car that had been suspiciously following her since she came here, was still there, it was hard to see because the only light pole that worked on this whole street was the one Hinata was under. She swallowed hard, "Naruto, hurry up." She was getting scared now, she heard noise and looked up, she saw someone's face but it wasn't Naruto's "Hinata?" The person whispered but disappeared, "Wait! Come back...please..." she whispered, she wished she could place a name with the face but she couldn't, she heard car doors slam behind her, "Come on, now's our chance." The hair on the back of her neck stuck up as she bolted around the corner, she heard the men curse behind her, "Damn it she's running, get back into the car."

She ran and ran, "Someone, please help me!" The sound of the car's engine was heard and tears started to run down her face, she was running down a dark street and she didn't know which way was which. She took a deep breath and Hinata gasped, "The water! I must be by the docks! I know where that is." The car was closing in on her and she hit a hard right down an alley, the car passed the alley and slammed on brakes. Hinata thought she was going to die, she knew she should've listened to her father when he said not to stay out passed night time. Hinata heard her own breathing and her legs were beginning to hurt, but she ran anyway. Her foots stomped on the wooden dock, she knew if she kept going this way she would fall into the water, 'I think I see someone!' Someone was sitting on the edge of the dock swinging their legs, "Hey! Help me! I need-" The person stood up catching Hinata off guard and she ran into them. They both went barreling off the dock into the cool water, when she resurfaced she noticed the boy was someone she graduated with, "Can you help me! Someone is chasing after me." He nodded and held his hand out to her; she took it gratefully, he said, "If someone is chasing you then we need to get under the docks." She swam with him under the dock and held onto one of the thick wooden poles. The two genin heard heavy footsteps on the dock above, "Which way did she go?" "Did she get on a boat?" The boy gestured for her to swim closer and she left her pole and swam quietly towards his. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held up three fingers and pointed down, Hinata nodded.

"Give me the flash light Moji! Shine it in the damn water, and under the dock." Hinata's eyes widen, the boy put up his fingers one at a time and when he got to three the two genin took a deep breath and dipped under the water, Hinata's arms were still around his neck so he used the wooden pole to pull them under deeper, they saw the shine of the light move around on the water's surface. After a few seconds it was stopped and then the sound of a car's engine was heard and then it died out as the car road down the street. The genin resurfaced, "Stay here." The boy told Hinata and he swam out and pulled himself up on the dock, after a few seconds he leaned over the dock and looked at Hinata, "The coast is clear, you can come out now." He held his hand out again she allowed him to help pull her up. He shook himself and Hinata laughed and held her arms in front of her to block the water, "I'm-" "I know who you are; you're Hyuuga, well one of them anyway." Hinata looked down at her feet, "Please forgive me, but I can't seem to recall your name." "It's ok, we never really talked in the academy, and I'm Kyushi Geyshu." A light bulb went off in her head, Kyushi was also one of the top students in the academy but he was always goofing off with Naruto.

He even got into a fight once with Neji because Kyushi stole Neji's head protector and laughed at his forehead, Neji hates being the 'caged bird' and Kyushi making fun of it didn't help at all, but that was so long ago Hinata was sure that Neji got over it. Kyushi was pretty much a bully though, he used to steal Akamaru (Kiba's Dog) and kicked him around or throw him in the air, he used to take Chouji's food, cut off Shikamaru's hair when he was sleep or steal Shiki's earring and put it on his nose when he was asleep, make fun of Shino's sunglasses, and pull on Ami's hair, and other things. He was so mean in the academy Hinata used to be afraid of him, she didn't know what he might've done but he never messed with her, there were a few people he was nice to, like Sakura until she started to diss him for Saskue. Over all he wasn't exactly the first person Hinata would jump to talk to, she shyly looked at him. He had his eyes closed as he was trying to put his auburn colored hair back into a ponytail, he kinda had Iruka's complexion and he had dark brown eyes. He had a scar that went from the right side of his forehead to his right ear, though his head protector covered most of it.

He held his hand out to Hinata, "Come on, we need to get out of these wet clothes before we catch colds." As the two genin walked he gazed at her curiously, "How can you see? I don't see your pupils." He brought his face close to hers and she blushed, he looked deep into her eyes Hinata felt memorized by his. Then he pulled away abruptly, "Who knows, maybe you'll be able to see into the future one day." He winked at Hinata and she twiddled her fingers, 'He has an air of confidence around him, like Naruto... How could Naruto stand me up like that?' "Hey what is someone like you doing out this late anyway? It's past ten." "I...uh... I was waiting for Naruto, we were supposed to meet at seven but he never showed up..." "You waited for more than 3 hours for Uzamaki? Stupid Naruto, doesn't he know he should never keep a pretty lady waiting." Hinata looked back down and kept walking with him, he laughed, "No wonder I didn't talk to you during the academy, your super shy."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!" Hinata hated when people called her shy, they said that's why she was so weak. She knew Kyushi wasn't trying to say that but it still hurt- "Here's my place." Hinata looked at the building, it wasn't fancy by any means, he opened the door and the both of you had to walk up stairs that led straight up, there were no other door except the all the way at the top. He opened the door and Hinata saw him spread his arms out, "It aint your manor, but its home to me." Hinata looked up quickly, "I didn't-" "You didn't have to... But it's whatever, home is where the heart is so-" While he talked she looked around, as soon as anyone comes through the door they are in the kitchen. His bedroom was right off the kitchen, no wall or anything to separate it, and then there was a door in his bedroom, Hinata guessed it was the bathroom. Kyushi walked to the door, "You can take a shower in here." Hinata walked in and smiled, "It's pretty." He stuck out his lower lip and folded his arms, "A mans bathroom shouldn't be 'cute'." Hinata laughed, "Well, this one is." Kyushi rolled his eyes and closed the door, Hinata stripped, stepped in the tub, she put the water on hot and had it on full blast. The hot water felt good against her cool body, she felt her muscles relax, "I hope his parents won't mind, I hope he won't get in trouble. Oh my, I hope I don't get in trouble, father's going to be very upset that I came home late." Hinata said out loud, she had been so wrapped up she just now noticed the scalding water, she quickly turned down the temperature and then heard a knock. Kyushi had his hand over his eyes, in his other hand he had a dry towel and a face towel, "I think you'll need these." He set the dry towel on the sink and held the face towel out for Hinata to take, she left the curtain open a little to long and just stared at him, "Hinata?" he looked up and his eyes widened, "WHAT DID YOU DO!" She covered her self behind the curtain and looked down, her body was red, "Oh that? I left the water on too hot for too long."

He shook his head and laughed, "You sure your related to Neji?" Hinata snatched the face towel while he was laughing (with his eyes closed) "Yes unfortunately," He shook his head and picked up her wet clothes, I'll dry these for you, try not to turn your self into a tomato looking girl again." Hinata blushed as he walked out; she didn't feel right with him walking away with her underwear and bra but there wasn't much she could do he had already walked out. She picked up the soap and wet her face cloth, she rubbed them together making a good lather and she started to wash up. The smell of the soap tickled her nose, she brought it closer and smelled it, it was a strong lemon scent and it made her smile. After she was done she wrapped the towel around her and walked out, she let out a wave of steam and saw Kyushi looking out the window on the other side of the bed. He sensed Hinata and looked over his shoulder, "Your clothes aren't dry yet... Um he looked around the room, he opened his dresser you can wear this if you want until your clothes dry." He held up a long plain white T shirt, Hinata blushed and looked down, but held her hand out. Kyushi sighed and flopped down on the bed, "I would come over there but my legs are soooooo tired out." Hinata giggled at his playfulness and took the t shirt from him, "Turn around Kyushi." "Aww man." He did as he was told, thinking 'Why couldn't you just go in the bathroom?' "Hinata have you dressed yet?" "No." Ok good hold on." Kyushi stood up and smirked at her and she blushed lightly, as he walked into the bathroom. Hinata heard the shower running; she slipped on the t-shirt and walked to the window.

He had a beautiful view of the water from his house, Hinata looked around and saw the only picture on the wall, and it was a picture of a woman, a man and a little boy all smiling. The little boy was Kyushi and the adults must've been his parents "Wait a minute!" She noticed the head protector the woman and Kyushi had; Kyushi's was obviously too big for him as it looked like it kept sliding down to his neck, he had one hand holding it up, the man without a head protector was ruffling his hair. The protectors, she spent a few minutes trying to guess the symbol when she finally remembered, they had the sand village symbol, 'Was Kyushi born in the country of-' The bathroom door opened and out stepped Kyushi with a towel around his waist, Hinata smiled looking at him and then immediately held her hands up at her face blushing. "You ok, Hinata?" He asked walking over to his dresser, he pulled out some boxers and smirked at her, "Turn around." He said mocking her voice; she folded her arms, "Why can't you go to the bathroom?" "Why couldn't you?" Hinata blushed and looked down, he shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me, and you can look if you want." Hinata was about to look back up, when she saw his towel hit the floor, she waited.

"You can look up now, you hungry?" Hinata nodded, for some reason she was feeling really confused, two feelings were conflicting inside her. She sat down on the edge of his bed, she leaned back against the headboard and closed her eyes, today was a bit draining. She dozed and Kyushi walked back into his bedroom with two cups of steaming ramen, he shook her lightly and she awoke. "Thank you, Kyushi." As they ate they talked, they talked about his teammates Ami, and Rekensha (Re for short). He complained about being the only boy with two girls on his teams and Hinata laughed, "Some boys think that's a blessing." "Yeah well they haven't been with these two geniuses." Kyushi took the empty ramen cups and threw them in the garbage. Hinata was tired, she slid under the covers and turned to Kyushi, "Do you mind if I spent the night here?" "Seems you've already made yourself comfortable, go to sleep." Kyushi moved under the blankets next to Hinata and cut off the lamp the provided the only light. He tried to ignore the fact that a pretty much naked girl was sleeping next to him, he took a deep breath and turned his back to her, the last thing he wanted was for him to get excited in his sleep and for her to know about it.
