School had ended that day. Hinata was tired from all the commotion. The rest of her lunch period ended up being stampeded with perverted questions from the classmates that returned from the cafe. Luckily, Ino and Sakura were there to handle the hungry wolves. Sakura was carful with her emotions this time, and Ino made sure she didn't burst out in flames.
The peace didn't last for long though. During last period, a small group of her classmates tried to peek under her skirt. It was gym period, and Hinata hadn't received her gym uniform yet. Her teacher, Gai-Sensei, requested her to sit on the stair steps while everyone else ran laps. Hinata didn't notice a snip of her panty showing until Sakura hinted it out while jogging past her.
Embarrassed, Hinata got up and stood for the rest of the period. Usually gym wasn't supposed to be co-ed in typical schools, but since Konoha Gakuen was recently opened to females it lacked the amount of girls to form one class.
The three girls walked off to their one and only dormitory. Ino had run off to here room and would soon later catch up with her friends after she got ready. And now, Hinata stared at the mess in front of her. Clothes were flung across the room – shirts, pants, and a few bras were sprawled on the floor. Garbage and rotten food littered the room, and books were shoved under the bed. Anyone who'd step into the room would probably never guess that it belonged to a certain pink haired girl who cleaned the classroom spotless.
Sakura seems to….be hiding a lot of things about herself.
"Sorry for the mess, heh heh heh…." Sakura laughed with one hand behind her head. Rather than picking up the many objects on the floor, she decided to use her foot to kick the mess around, she made a pathway leading to the other side of the room. It was hidden behind a long, heavy sakura printed curtain.
"Well, this is your room, Hinata-chan. I'm sorry you had to share a room with a slob like me."
Hinata waved her head, as a sign to say that it wasn't a bother at all. She turned her head to her new living quarters once Sakura opened the curtains.
It was surprisingly cleaner; well-kept and there wasn't any garbage. Only a small layer of dust covered the place, but it was far better than the mess that cluttered her roommate's room. The walls were painted the same light blue as Sakura's, and the wood flooring was a pale shade of white. She noticed a small bed in the corner, two doors that led to a washroom and closet, and huge glass doors that led to the backyard of the dormitory.
Hinata peered through the glass; the back yard was enclosed by a tall hedge that stretched out about 6 meters, till the edge of the building. The grass outside was green and luscious, but looked as if they haven't been cut for a while. Weeds scattered the area, vibrant and untamed.
I should really do something about this place. A few flowers grown here and there, would make it much more appealing. There should be a small garden over there in the corner that'll grow fruits and vegetables. Oh wait, will they even let me plant anything?
"You're free to do anything with the backyard. I'm sure the land lady won't mind." Sakura said as if she read her mind. "As a matter of fact, I think it'll do Ayame-san a great favor. She's been too busy lately and as you can see, neglecting the backyard.
"T-th-th-thank y-you."
"Sakura, I'm coming in!" A voice came from outside the door. In came a cheerful looking Ino holding a plastic bag filled with snacks.
She wore a pair of white, cotton rabbit slippers, along with her purple short shorts and her matching long sleepshirt.
"Ahhh! Sakura, you didn't clean your room yet. Geez! It's only been two months since we got here and look at this room. I feel so sorry for poor Hinata-chan who has to put up with your sloppiness day and night." Ino gave an agitated look at her friend as she walked through the messed up space and into Hinata's clean-ish room.
"I would clean if I had any motivation. Well actually, even if I had motivation I wouldn't do it; it's just too hectic. 'Troublesome' as Shikamaru would say. And what's the point if it'll get messy all over again?" Sakura replied, her voice hinting that she was complaining.
Ino rolled her eyes while Hinata stared at the bag in Ino's hand. "Ahno..wh-wha-what's in the bag?" Hinata mustered the courage to ask.
Ino's unamused face changed into a bright smile. "I brought some sweets, candies, and a few bags of chips. I thought that we could celebrate your incoming arrival and our new friendship that we made today."
"Ah, great idea Ino!" Sakura voiced. Her hands clapped together once in anticipation.
"Let's make it a sleep over!" Ino chimed.
Hinata smiled at the sidelines. This is wonderful; a sleep over with just us girls. We could stay up late, pillow fights, telling secrets. Ahh, I've always wanted to do this.
"Oh, but wait….where would we sleep. Hinata's room is a bit…dusty, and I'm sure your room mate would get angry at us Ino, and well you know mine…"
"And that's why I tell you to clean it Sakura!"
"Oh just shut it Ino."
Just then a knock sounded from outside the door. A girl's voice came after. "Hinata-san, someone is here for you. May I open the door?"
"That must be Ayame-san." Sakura glanced at Hinata with a look that asked her if she should open it. "Yeah sure, it's unlocked." The pinkette answered after receiving the approval nod from Hinata.
A short, slender brunette came walking in the room with a man following behind. The lady wasn't old like Hinata thought she would be, she was fairly young, looking to be in her early twenties. A white bandanna was tied onto her head that matched her white apron.
Hinata gasped at the man beside her landlord. Edmond! What's he doing here? The man known as Edmond stood tall and firm. He wore a black suit with white gloves. His black hair was slicked back by who knows how many jars of gel.
Another man walked into the room.
Oh Kami, Bonquisha's here too.
Bonquisha wore the same attire as Edmond; black suit, white gloves, and black hair slicked back revealing their foreheads. However, he wore a monocle across his right eye, while Edmond wore none.
The two were butlers that served the Hyuga household, held a pile of boxes in hand. The two gave a struggling bow once they spotted their master. "Ojou-sama, we have brought your belongings like your father has asked of us. We are terribly sorry to have not been here earlier." Edmond stated.
Hinata violently shook her head, declining the apology he gave. I'm the one that should be sorry. I totally forgot they were coming.
"Now if everyone would please step out of the room for a minute." Bonquisha added.
Without a word, the group of girls followed the orders of the butler. Ayame closed the door behind them and gave a smile to the three teens. They stood there in an awkward silence; not one dared to say a word until they started to hear noise from inside the dorm room.
"Ahno, Hinata-chan? What's all that racket?" Sakura questioned. Loud clanks, bangs, and other construction like sounds echoed out the room walls.
Hinata gave a tired huff and slapped her forehead not too hard. Oh no. They're not doing what I think they're doing.
And in exactly the time Bonquisha told them to wait for, they were done. "Ojou-sama, we are quite finished. Now if you ladies would like to come in." Edmond opened the door wide open for them to walk in.
Once they did, they spotted Bonquisha standing in the middle of a room that didn't look anything as it did before.
"Wah! Look at this place." Ino exclaimed.
"What the hell happened to my room in the span of that one minute?"
Hinata and Ayame just chose to be quiet and stare at the new room before them. The pink sakura curtain was replaced with a velvet coloured, thick curtain. The flooring was kept the same however, the walls changed from a light blue to a sakura patterned wall. Sakura's room wasn't a mess anymore. The papers were cleaned and stacked in a pile, the books were put on a newly built shelf, and the clothes were folded neatly into the closet that resided in Sakura's room. In all, the room was spotless.
"Ojou-sama, this is your half of the room. I hope you approve of it." Bonquisha bowed and slowly opened the curtain. It revealed a stunning interior. It seemed to be a lot bigger than it last was. The walls were different from Sakura's, lavender in colour with gold trimmings at the top that looked like vines. On the ceiling, a small, crystal light hung from the middle of the place wasn't dusty anymore; it was cleanly polished. The mattress that was there before was replaced by a queen sized canopy bed. The curtains were slightly lighter than the lavender; almost looking like shade of white. A new dresser was added into the room, along with a small desk. On that desk lay a blue laptop and a few books.
"Gee, I sure am jealous." Ino said, nudging her elbow to the speechless Hyuga.
Ring ring!
"Hello? Yes, yes. We will be there shortly, Hiashi-sama." Edmond turned to Hinata and bowed, Bonquisha soon following behind after. "Ojou-sama, we shall be taking our leave. Hiashi-sama calls for us." The two butlers left the room with Ayame showing them the way. The only people still in the room were Sakura, Ino, and Hinata.
"Well that was…strange."
"Whatever my room is clean, and Hinata's is looking spiffy. That's all I care about now." Sakura stated, jumping onto Hinata's huge bed.
"Now that our room is clean, let's start the sleep over. Hinata-chan, you don't mind is using your bed to sleep on, nee? We can all fit."
Hinata gave them a nod and smiled. She hoped on the bed, joining the two, but got off a second later.
Right, right. I must change my clothes. I can't wear my school uniform. "Sakura-chan, Ino-chan, ahno…..I – I ne-need to change."
"Oh yea! I forgot to change. Thanks for reminding me." Sakura also got up from the bed, heading over to her side of the curtain. Ino just sat there, on the bed, staring at Hinata.
Hinata opened her closet. It revealed a huge shelf of clothes, folded and organized into categories. Geez, those butlers can just go over the top sometimes. Let's see, my outgoing clothes are on the top shelf, dresses are over there, athletic clothing on the bottom shelf, shoes on the ground, and Ah ha! Pajama's right in the middle.
The raven-haired girl grabbed the first garment that lay on the pile of pajamas and headed into the washroom next door.
Meanwhile a bored, platinum blonde, got off from the bed. Ino snickered, thinking of the plan. She headed to the washroom door and quietly opened it. She crept up to her unsuspecting prey, and like a lion, pounced on her.
"Kyaaa~ I-Ino?!" Hinata screamed, her face completely red from blushing.
Ino uncontrolledly laughed. "Sorry, sorry. I just couldn't help it. I was bored out there, waiting for you guys, so I decided to scare you."
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Ino slowly calmed down. She opened her eyes to see a half-naked Hinata. "Wahh! You got a pretty nice figure Hinata-chan."
Being the shy person Hinata is, she used her arms to defend her well-endowed chest.
"Ino! Geez, one minute I'm gone and you're making a scene." A pouting Sakura walks into the room wearing a white tank and pink bottoms. "Sorry Hinata-chan. She walked into you changing I presume. Ino has a privacy problem. She likes to walk into people
naked. Hentai, wouldn't you say?"
"Whadid' ya say, Billboard-brow?" Ino snapped.
"Oh your ears not working right, Ino-pig~" Sakura mockingly said. Her arms crossed across her chest and her hips were tilted.
"Why you little—"
"Ahno…I need to change!" Hinata blurted out.
The two friends seemed to stop and remember that Hinata was in the room in her under garments. They walked out of the washroom without a word, and shut the door behind.
A couple of minutes later, Hinata came out of the little ladies room wearing a white, silk night gown. She found her friends talking about the male models in a fashion magazine that Sakura brought from her room. She walked her way to the bed and flopped down next to Sakura.
"Look at him though Sakura! Sai-sama looks so-so mysterious." Ino giggled, staring intently at the man in the old magazine she held.
Sakura rolled her eyes at her love-struck friend. "I've seen many mysterious looking guys in my life. Your 'Sai-sama' isn't all that special to me." Taking the magazine out of Ino's hand, she chucked it off to the side of the room. "Enough with this shit. Seen it too many times. Oh whoops! I'll pick that up tomorrow Hinata-chan."
Ino gave a glare at the pink female beside her, but it subsided into a curious look after Sakura asked a question. "Nee, Hinata-chan, why did you come now of all times? It's been well over a month since school started and I'm just wondering."
The Hyuga's eyes seemed to dim and her face tilted downwards.
"Ah! You don't have to tell us if you don't want to. It's not a big deal if you don't." Sakura one of her hands in front of her in a 'no' manner.
Hinata waved her head 'no'. "I – I will t-ell yo-u guys." She breathed in a heavy amount of air and exhaled. "Want me to tell you the whole story?" Her voice held no nervousness. For once Hinata didn't stutter. Sakura and Ino kept quiet as the room became serious.
"Okay, well….hmm..first off my father, Hyuga Hiashi, forced me to this school. I was happy being home schooled by my teacher, Kurenai-sensei. I hated coming into crowds, talking with people, and most of all speaking in front of many people. I would faint all the time in front of my father's co-workers because my lack of socialization. My father is strict and harsh to the bone, you see. He would yell at me for being a disgrace to the family. I used to be the heir to the company, but because I bring shame to his company, he sends my younger sister in place for me during meetings and parties. Not only that, Father tells who ever asks about me that I'm sick and unable to come. A liar he is. I heard that the elders in our business want me to become the successor to the Hyuga Company. They pushed him into handing the company to me. I, of course want to run my family's company and be a part of everything. It was my mom's dream to be a part of the Hyuga place, and now it's mine. Even though I was born and in this family, I still don't feel a connected to it. I feel excluded from everything because of this stupid shyness I have."
Tears fell down her cheeks from her frustration. She tried her best to wipe them, but they just kept on falling.
"Anyways, he decided to give me a chance; to come to this school and learn to socialize better. Of course I was thrilled to get a second chance, but fear overcame me. I kept on pondering on the thoughts of everyone; if they would judge me, or if I mess up, but most of all causing more problems for my father. That fear kept me from coming here until once again my father spoke to me. This time he gave me a task, two in fact. One was to overcome my fear of people, talk normally without fainting or stuttering. And the second was to –"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Time to sleep girls. It's a weeknight and Sakura you're on cooking duty tomorrow." Ayame called from outside the door, interrupting Hinata.
"Yeah!" Ino and Sakura yelled back. Once Ayame's footsteps faded away, Sakura quickly said, "What's the second one?"
"It's –"
BAM!
"I SAID SLEEP! NO MORE TALKING YOU HEAR ME?" Ayame barged in with her trusty ladle. She glared at the three girls until they were tucked in bed, then left once more.
"There goes our 'fun' sleepover. We didn't even get to eat the stuff I bought." Ino whispered.
"Shhh! You don't want her to come back in here and whack us on the head with her ladle." Sakura hissed back.
I'd rather get hit by that then you Sakura. Hinata thought. She lay there in the middle of her bed beside her two friends. So far, this school is okay. I'm kind of glad that father sent me here. I got to meet people who accept me. And with that, Hinata dozed off with a content smile on her tear stained face.
Hinata lazily headed to the washroom to do her business.
It was 3 am according to the clock. When Hinata came back, she noticed Ino taking most of the bed and Sakura falling out of the bed. She ignored it, too tired to move anyone. Instead she went to the large doors that led outside.
The light of the full moon outside shown through and Hinata couldn't help but be entranced. She opened the door and headed outside. The wind blew her hair and dress as she walked farther into the yard. She spotted something orange in the middle of the grass.
A fox?
The creature stared back at her with its dark eyes and just sat there, unmoving. Hinata rubbed her eyes, thinking as if she was dreaming. When she did open them back, nothing sat in the place that the fox once was. I must be really tired to be seeing things. She yawned and headed back inside.
Little did she know that the same fox hid inside the hedge, still watching her every move.
How did I make Hinata's back story? Well there's more to come later on...
If I made an error, please do tell me or if something doesn't make sense.
Guess what? Naruto is coming in the next chapter, so look forward to it (It'll probably be shorter than this one though)
