Mshinata: People have been asking what that notebook is. Well…I won't tell you! Maybe in this chapter or something but I don't know. I forgot to tell you guys that I got Isumi from the show Hayate no Gotoku. If you watch the show, this Isumi is TOTALLY different from the one in the show. I was going to name her Hinagiku/Hina or Nagi…but I just loved the name Isumi! It was too cute to resist!
Ino: Wait…isn't Nagi a guy's name?
Mshinata: Nagi can be a girl or guy's name.
Sasuke: Again…a 12 year old maid…
Mshinata: Shut up, Sasuke! –Punches head- It's in the script! Do not defy the script!
Sasuke: Ouch…what script?! You make it up as you go!
Mshinata: …I do have a script!
Sasuke: Then show me it.
Mshinata: Fine! Here it is. –Gives Sasuke my script notebook-
Sasuke sweat drops.
Sasuke: This is a notebook of your drawings from various Animes! Cut the crap already! Where's the script?!
Isumi takes the notebook away from Sasuke.
Isumi: Wow, you're a really great Anime artist, mshinata-sama.
Mshinata: Thank you! –Hugs Isumi-
Sasuke: Hello?! I'm still right here!
Mshinata: Let's continue our story! I do not own Naruto or any character specified in this fan fic.
Isumi's heart was thumping against her chest.
What if Sasuke-sama's a pervert? What if there's hentai in here?! What if there are his deepest darkest secrets in here?! Isumi shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. Her hands were shaking with the black notebook in them. She had her legs crossed Indian/Native American style on her bed.
"Stay strong Isumi! Open the notebook in…5…4…3…2…1!" Isumi opened the notebook. After a few minutes of reading the content inside…
"…no way…" Isumi dropped the book on the floor and her eyes widened with shock. (OMG, I KNEW IT! SASUKE'S A PERVERT! Sasuke: What?! You haven't even told them what's inside the notebook!)
oO0Oo
Itachi entered the estate. He checked his watch. It was midnight.
Stupid leader was holding us back for a few hours for nothing. Itachi slammed the door regardless of the people sleeping. He didn't care. He was pissed, so why would he?
Itachi walked down the hallway finding Isumi had already fallen asleep on her bed in her maid uniform. He sighed and entered into her room.
"What's this?" Itachi muttered to himself. He picked up the black notebook that was on the ground.
Isumi was stirring. Her expression showed that she was having a nightmare.
Itachi lowered himself to her face and kissed her forehead. She seemed to stop stirring and pulled the covers over her. Itachi smiled and still held the notebook. He left her room and shut the door quietly.
"I know it's wrong to read other people's things," Itachi said holding up the book as he leaned against Isumi's door. "But I must know what's inside…just in case if it's something horrible about Isumi-chan."
oO0Oo
"Good morning, Sasuke-sama!" Isumi said with a bright smile.
"Hn." Sasuke rubbed his eyes and sat down at the table. He put his head down.
"As usual, you're a morning person." Isumi rolled her eyes and gave him a sweet smile.
"Hn…" Sasuke answered.
"Looks like Itachi has already gone to work. I didn't even see him come home. I wonder if he even came home last night…" Isumi pondered aloud.
"I'd be glad if he disappeared forever." Sasuke said as he lifted his head up.
Isumi shoved a plate of eggs into his face.
"Don't you ever say that about Itachi-sama…ever." Isumi said murderously.
"Whatever." Sasuke stood up to go wash his face. "By the way…did you finish reading my notebook?"
Isumi snapped and dropped a glass of milk on the floor.
"G-gomenasai! I'll clean it up right now!" Isumi stammered and hurried to clean the floor.
"…did you?" Sasuke asked as he turned around.
"Yes I did…" Isumi said nervously.
"Can I have it back?"
"…GOMEN SASUKE-SAMA! I…I didn't mean to! I mean…I swear it was on the floor! But then…it suddenly disappeared!" Isumi said.
"You…lost it?" Sasuke calmly said. He knew he would regret ever giving the notebook to her.
"I didn't lose it nor did I misplace it! I swear it was on my bedroom floor!" Isumi said pleadingly.
"Then how come it's gone?" Sasuke asked raising a brow.
"I don't know…I fell asleep…I had a nightmare…you kissed my forehead-"
"I didn't kiss your forehead, last night." Sasuke said helping her clean up the broken glass.
"…you didn't? Then who-"
"Itachi!!!" Isumi and Sasuke said in unison.
"He took the notebook!" Sasuke said his anger rising and stood up.
"I can't believe Itachi-sama would do such a thing…" Isumi said throwing the broken glass away.
"Well, I can! I told you he was evil!" Sasuke said childishly.
"The most likely thing that he would do is going to the modeling agency." Isumi said in a thinking position.
"Thanks, I'm going to work!" Sasuke said grabbing a piece of toast and scurried towards the door.
"Sasuke-sama!"
"What, Isumi?!" Sasuke turned around angrily.
"…first of all, you're in a t-shirt and long gray sweat pants. Secondly, your face is still covered in eggs." Isumi wiped his face with a rag. "Thirdly, you don't go to work until an hour later." She looked at the clock in the kitchen.
Sasuke sweat dropped and blushed from embarrassment.
"I'm going to go change now."
"You better." Isumi rolled her eyes. Adults…
oO0Oo
Hinata jolted straight up from her bed. She wiped the beads of sweat from her face and dropped back down to her bed. She was breathing heavily.
It was just a dream…Hinata thought to herself. She was dreaming of Itachi and Sasuke and how they were…fighting for her? She shook her head to get rid of the thought. Her face was covered in blushes.
"Hinata-sama, are you awake?" Neji knocked on the door.
"C-come in, Nii-san." Hinata said panting.
Neji entered her room and noticed her red face and sweat rolling down her chin.
"Hinata-sama, are you alright?" Neji sat down on her bed and touched her forehead.
Hinata had a flashback of what Itachi did and blushed even more.
"Oh man…you have a fever. Not to mention…on a Saturday!" Neji said removing his hand from her forehead. "I'll call Tsunade-sama and tell her that you're too sick to go to work today."
"I'm f-fine…it's probably just the dream I had. I guess it just startled me." Hinata said. Her panting lessened.
"I'm not taking any chances. You'd be better off in bed than abusing your body." Neji stood up and left her room.
Hinata sat up and sighed.
oO0Oo
"Okay, I understand. I hope she feels better." TenTen hung up the phone and sighed.
"Is our little sister okay?" Ino said worriedly with big sparkly wet eyes.
"She's fine. She just got a little fever. Hinata-chan must have caught it last night when we were in the restaurant. It was pretty chilly." TenTen said.
"…what's wrong Ino-chan?" Naruto asked seeing Ino crying Anime/chibi style.
"My sweet little sister is sick!" Ino said dramatically still crying.
"Aren't you an only child?" Naruto asked confused.
TenTen sweat dropped.
"She meant Hinata-chan you dumb ass!" TenTen sighed and slapped her forehead.
"Hinata-chan's sick?!" Naruto screamed.
"I swear it's only 8:45am, and you're already starting a riot!" TenTen screamed back at him.
Naruto was about to scream back but Sasuke covered his mouth with his hand.
"It's nothing serious, right?" Sasuke asked.
"It's just a fever. She'll be alright." TenTen said with a smile.
"Sasuke-san, it's time for your modeling pictures with Sakura-san!" Shizune called to him.
Sasuke sighed.
"Hell is calling." Sasuke said and walked off.
oO0Oo
Little did the friends know that Itachi was eavesdropping on their whole conversation?
"Looks like that girl's sick. Isn't she the one that you always talked about when we were little?" a guy with blue hair walked in. He had such a pale face that it almost seemed like he had a blue face as well.
"It's none of your business, Kisame." Itachi said cleaning his camera.
"Itachi-san." Shizune walked up to him.
"Yes, what is it?" He responded not even looking at her.
"Since Hinata-san isn't here, you may go home. There's really nothing for you to do…unless…you want to stick around." Shizune said.
"Arigato. I think I'll be going." Itachi said.
"Leaving the party already, Itachi?" Kisame asked.
"It would still be a party without me." Itachi said and exited the building.
oO0Oo
"Sasuke-kun, where's your boldness today?" the photographer asked. She had black messy long hair with thin rimmed glasses. She stopped taking pictures and put her hands on her hips.
"I'm just tired, Karin…" Sasuke lied. Sakura was hanging onto him like a cat hanging onto a tree branch for dear life.
"He's just nervous that he's modeling with me." Sakura answered.
Karin rolled her eyes. Yes…Karin was also a Sasuke "fanatic." Even though she was older than him, she still had her heart set on him. Sasuke knew that but he didn't like her. He never had any interest in one of his fans anyways…
After a few more pictures, Karin decided to give up and called it a day.
"What's wrong Uchiha? Got your panties in a bunch?" TenTen joked and nudged him.
"It's nothing…" Sasuke said and exited the building.
"There's definitely something wrong with him." TenTen said.
"Yup…he would have given you a glare or given you a lame come back…or something like that." Ino said in a thinking position. "Hmm…"
oO0Oo
"Feeling better?" Neji said bringing in a bowl of soup.
Hinata's eyes twitched.
"Haha…I know what you're thinking. No…I didn't cook this. It was from a can." Neji said and chuckled.
Hinata smiled. She knew how horrible Neji's cooking was. Without her, he would have died by starvation.
"Arigato, Nii-san."
"The pleasure's all mine." Neji said. "How was the dinner last night? Was it fun?" Neji had always been a brother figure to Hinata but sometimes…he was a father figure. Overprotective. Paranoid. And whatnot.
"It was…interesting." Hinata said sipping her soup.
"Why didn't you tell me you met Uchiha again?" Neji asked getting to the point.
Hinata sighed.
"I had a lot on my mind. I didn't think he was such a threat to you Nii-san." Hinata smirked.
"He's not." Neji quickly answered. "I mean…sure he's 23 years old now…he could have lost his virginity at age 16! You never know!"
"Nii-san!" Hinata was blushing furiously. "Really…how could you think such things about Sasuke-kun?"
"Seeing as though every girl in the whole entire universe has fallen for him…" Neji said slowly.
"Don't forget. Half the girls in the entire universe loves you." Hinata giggled.
"Don't remind me." Neji crossed his arms.
Hinata continued eating and their conversation went along peacefully.
Someone rang the doorbell.
"I'll get it." Neji said and stood up to answer the door. Neji opened the door and was shocked to see who it was.
"Uchiha…"
"Hyuuga." His stoic voice answered. "Where's Hinata-san?" He let himself in
Rude as usual… Neji thought to himself.
"She's in her room but I don't think you should go in. She has a fever." Neji answered.
"I don't catch fevers easily." The Uchiha replied.
"Don't touch Hinata-sama or I'll kill you." Neji said.
"You wish you could." The Uchiha smirked.
Neji had a scowl planted across his face. Bastard…
oO0Oo
Someone knocked on Hinata's bedroom door.
"Come in, the door's open." Hinata answered finishing her soup. She put the empty bowl on the table next to her bed.
"It's nice to see that your voice is fine." The stoic Uchiha smiled at her.
Hinata blushed.
"Ah…Itachi-kun…how did you...?" Hinata asked. (THOUGHT IT WAS SASUKE? HAH! YOU WISH! xD)
"The photographer must know everything about his client/model." Itachi said sitting on her bed.
"Oh…"
"I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd come by." Itachi said.
"I'm fine…really. Neji-niisan takes really good care of me." Hinata said.
"Ah…I see." Itachi said. "About my brother…kissing you…he was being an idiot. He's still in his "hormones" stage."
Hinata giggled.
"I know. I forgave him." Hinata said.
Why did you forgive him, Hinata-chan? Itachi thought to himself.
"But…it was a kiss." Itachi said trying to hide his pleading voice.
"I know…but he is a childhood friend. He didn't remember me. I didn't remember him either. But now that we both remember, we've forgiven each other." Hinata said happily.
"I see…" Itachi said and faced the other way.
"…doshta?" Hinata asked. (Doshta means "what's wrong?")
"…I must be going, Hinata-san." Itachi said standing up.
"You don't have to go…" Hinata realized what she had just said and blushed.
Itachi smirked.
"I'm sorry, Hinata-hime…but I must. I have other…matters to attend to." Itachi kissed her cheek and left her room.
Hinata felt the spot on her cheek that he kissed.
Flashback
"It's very nice to meet you. I'm Uchiha Itachi." Itachi bowed solemnly.
"This is my brother that I was talking about the other day." Sasuke whispered in Hinata's ear.
"H-hello…Itachi-kun." Hinata said nervously and hesitantly bowed.
"Sasu-chan, can you do me a favor?" a beautiful young woman with long black hair called out. Her bangs surrounded her face like Itachi's and Sasuke's. She was hanging up the clothes on the clothes line to let them dry.
"Hai, mother." Sasuke said. He gave Itachi a deadly-glare-in-progress and ran to his mother. Sasuke helped her with the laundry. He and his mother shared a few laughs. Itachi was watching them closely.
"W-what's wrong I-itachi-kun?" Hinata tilted her head to the side. She had noticed that he was staring at his mother and brother.
"How foolish that little boy is…" Itachi muttered darkly.
"W-what?" Hinata asked.
"Nothing, Hinata-san." Itachi turned to Hinata and gave a genuine…but fake smile. He always hid his feelings with the smile. Hinata always thought there was happiness inside of him.
Hinata responded with a nervous smile.
"Hinata-san…your mother is…dead?" Itachi asked turning back to stare at his mother and brother.
"H-hai…b-but I d-don't like t-talking about i-it." Hinata replied looking down at her sandals. She was wearing a light lavender kimono with flowers going diagonal over it.
"Gomenasai, Hinata-san. Did I hurt you?" Itachi went on one knee and kept the other one up. It was like a guy proposing a woman to marriage. He was, after all, a 13 year old. This was the year of those hormones. Hinata was only 8. She was naïve and young.
Hinata noticed the position and blushed.
"Hinata-san?" Itachi touched her forehead and she fainted. She fell backwards, but Itachi caught her.
End of Flashback
Hinata pondered on her bed for a moment. She had forgotten what had happened after that. Hinata heard another knock on the door. Neji, of course, answered it.
"…wow…is your father going to visit?" Neji rolled his eyes. Oh great…another Uchiha to seduce his precious cousin.
"Tch. Very funny." Sasuke's eyes turned cold and so did Neji's. They had a contest of whose deathly glare was better but someone interrupted it.
"Sasuke-kun, it's a surprise seeing you here." Hinata said behind Neji. Neji winced and turned around.
"Hinata-sama, get back in bed. Your fever will get worse if you stand near the door." Neji forcefully pushed her into her room.
"Now…I have to handle-"Neji looked around. Sasuke was gone. "I guess I scared him off." He smirked and got back to grading his papers.
oO0Oo
"Sasuke-kun…did you need anything?" Hinata asked sitting up in her bed.
"No…not much. I just wanted to…make sure my modeling partner was alright." Sasuke sat down on her bed.
"I'm fine." Hinata decided that it wasn't safe to tell Sasuke that his brother came to visit her. He'd probably leave right away and buy knives to kill his brother.
"Has my brother…harassed you?" Sasuke asked facing her.
"…I don't understand." Hinata said and sweat dropped.
"Has he done anything inappropriate?" Sasuke asked. Hinata sweat dropped even more.
"…he's actually…been quite the gentleman." Hinata put on a crooked smile.
"I see…that's good." Sasuke said. As always…hiding his true nature with false kindness…
Flashback
After Sasuke was done with the laundry, his mother told him to go play with Hinata. He nodded happily and ran to her. He slowed down his pace as he saw his brother holding Hinata in his arms cupping her cheek.
"Nii-san…what are you doing?" Sasuke asked with a horrified look on his face.
"She fell and I caught her." Itachi said not even looking up at him.
"But…she's unconscious." Sasuke said worriedly clenching his fists.
"She fainted." Itachi said and laid her down on a stone bench in the Uchiha gardens.
Sasuke was furious and tackled his brother to the ground.
"I'm impressed…you actually tackled me to the ground." Itachi smirked.
"What did you do to Hinata-chan?!" Sasuke yelled in his ear.
"Nothing…I simply helped her." Itachi replied bluntly.
"Shut up! I want to know the truth!" Sasuke said angrily.
"R-really Sasuke-kun…I-itachi was j-just being a g-gentleman." Hinata said and sat up on the bench.
End of Flashback
I don't understand…why can't Hinata-chan see that he's only hiding his true self? Sasuke looked down at his clenched fists.
"Sasuke-kun…if this is about Itachi-kun…" Hinata said.
Sasuke smirked.
"As usual, you're a mind reader." He joked.
"I'm related to Neji-niisan you know." Hinata giggled. "Are you angry at Itachi-kun for some reason?"
"It's just…he took-"Sasuke couldn't tell Hinata that Itachi took his notebook! Hinata would then ask him what was inside the notebook. He couldn't do that! (-Laughs evilly- I didn't know you wet your bed just recently…-flips open to another page in the black notebook- Sasuke: That' nto even my notebook! You really like making my life miserable don't you? Me: Hmm…pretty much. –smiles innocently- Sasuke: Kill me already…)
"He took…?" Hinata tilted her head.
"Nothing…it's nothing important." Sasuke stood up.
"Are you sure you don't want me to-"
"It's fine. I'll be seeing you Hinata-chan." Sasuke left her room and gently closed the door.
oO0Oo
Itachi sighed when he arrived at his estate's front door. I can finally have some peace and quiet…
He entered the estate only finding no trace of Isumi in the kitchen.
"I'm in here Itachi-sama." Isumi hissed the last part of his name. She was sitting on the couch with her legs and arms crossed.
"Doshta?" Itachi asked and took a seat by her.
"You know what's wrong! You took my black notebook!" Isumi said with angry marks all over her face.
"I didn't mean to." Itachi sighed.
"…it's called "asking for permission", Itachi-sama." Isumi looked at him with annoyed eyes.
"Fine…I'll go get it." Itachi stood up to get the notebook.
I didn't know Itachi-sama was that easy to trick. I thought he would have figured it out by now the notebook is Sasuke-sama's. Isumi mentally smirked. SASUKE-SAMA BETTER REWARD US WELL! Inner Isumi thought confidently.
Itachi returned with the black notebook in hand. Isumi reached to get it.
"Tell me Isumi-chan…what's in this notebook?" Itachi asked.
"It says all of my secrets….when someone almost kidnapped me...when you tried to kill Sasuke-sama in his sleep…" Isumi said pondering.
"Okay that's enough." Itachi had angry marks on his face.
Isumi was about to grab it when Itachi had a devious smirk on his face.
"Isumi-chan…tell me…since when did Sasuke write love poems?" Itachi said his smirk widening.
Mshinata: Bad Itachi-sama, bad! –Hits Itachi-sama with Asuna's paper fan from Negima?!-
Ino: Hasn't your mother taught you about not stealing people's personal items? Tsk tsk tsk…shame on you.
Itachi (rubs head where I hit himxD): At least I didn't wet the bed recently.
Sasuke: That notebook was a fake! She was reading from a web of lies!
Mshinata: But look at your blanket, it's yellow. –Holds up blanket-
Sasuke: It's not yellow, it's beige!
Naruto: OMG SO YOU PEE BEIGE?! –Eyes widen-
Sasuke: Mother fu-…you know what…I'm leaving. –Walks away-
Mshinata: I can't wait to tell the world. –Gets on Internet and types on Sasuke Fan Club blog-
Ino: Since she's busy typing, please give her nice reviews!
