Chapter 2: You're Alright (I Guess)
The alarm clock buzzed into Hinata's mind. She immediately hit the snooze button and stood up from her bed. One thing that she was thinking about was taking a short, hot shower before Hanabi went inside the bathroom before she does. That little brat is always hogging it up! She thought bitterly and quickly went inside the bathroom. Success! Now her younger sister had to wait until she was finished! A victory smile spread through her lips as she turned on her shower.
She always liked the feeling of the hot water pouncing on her naked body, not to mention when it's in the morning. Although she wanted to take an hour just standing there, she had to be fast about it, since Hanabi would probably annoy the jeebus out of her when she came out.
Hinata grabbed the sponge, filled it with soapy liquid, and rubbed it across her body. Then, she grabbed the shampoo and ran it over her middle-length hair. As soon as the water cleaned most of the soap off of her body, she turned off the shower-head and came out with a towel that she had set up before. Hinata patted it against her wet body, but heard someone knocking on the door.
"Hurry up, will you!?" Hanabi shouted grumpily.
With a quick sigh and wrapping the towel around her body, she opened the door. "All yours," Hinata sweetly replied.
She heard a slam from Hanabi, shutting the door. And a scream of defeat when she realized her big sister had used up all the hot water. "You jerk!!!" she shrieked.
Oh boy. Hinata now had to deal her lecture during breakfast.
Anyways, she went back onto her morning schedule and went onto changing into her usual comfortable clothes and then ran down the stairs to her kitchen. Hinata took a box of corn flakes and milk as her morning meal.
Just then, someone opened the door. It couldn't have been her father, since he was always busy at work.
"I'm about to kill someone," Neji stated, sitting down with his cousin.
"W-Why is that, Neji-nii?" Hinata asked while gulping down her cereal.
His head came banging onto the table. "The asshole will not cooperate."
Hinata tilted her head.
"Sasuke!"
"Oh... OH!" She put the bowl into her sink and sat back with Neji. "It's okay n-niisan. I can d-deal with it..."
"NO! I will not let you put yourself out for him!"
What!? He made it seem like Hinata was about to whore herself! "It's only a t-tiny f-favor."
"Tiny favor or not, he's still gonna take it too far!" Neji then stormed out of the mansion. "You coming? Where's Hanabi? Hanabi!!!"
Attentively, she came down ready, but still mad at Hinata for the shower incident. "Ready," she mumbled.
Another sigh escaped Hinata's mouth. "Y-You didn't eat anything."
"So?" Hanabi followed Neji out the door. "I'll eat something at school."
"Okay." With that, the Hyugas left towards Neji's small car.
Not really any conversation was taking place between them. Once Hanabi got out of the car, they drove, both older cousins started chatting away without her to question anything.
"Stay. Away. From him," Neji expressed. "I'm warning you."
"I will!" Hinata shouted. He was getting on her nerves.
After that, he parked the car and they both went inside their high school without any sentence exchanged once again.

A tap was felt on Hinata's shoulder while she was getting her books inside her locker. "Kiba!" she squealed.
"Hiiiiiii," Kiba said, exaggerating the vowel. "No one still found him!" Akamaru then came out of his jacket.
She slapped her forehead. "They w-will find him ev-ventually," Hinata retorted.
"Why do you people always doubt me?" Faced down to the floor, he walked away. Hinata shrugged her shoulders and closed her locker.
Something caught the corner of her eye. She turned to see Sakura walking in the middle of the hallway. It looked like she was performing a show for everyone staring, since she was thrusting her curvy hips and flipping her short pink hair. What a sight to see. The guys were drooling while thinking very dirty thoughts about her. Same old, same old, Hinata thought as she couldn't take her eyes off of her. Sakura noticed this and rolled her light green eyes from the sight of the Hyuga heiress.
All of a sudden, they heard a slap! coming from the beauty queen. Sakura gaped and saw a boy behind her, that smacker her ass. The gap then turned into a smile and she started to hit the guy playfully.
Of course that would happen! She loves it when a guy touches her. Hinata turned her head when she saw that the 'performance' was over.
"They should've smacked yours," Sasuke whispered in back of her. His breath tickled Hinata's neck and made her wince.
"W-What?"
"Since you got a big ass," he explained. Hinata turned to face him. "Bigger than hers I mean."
She blushed at the comment. "Ano... th-thank you?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "That would be something you don't see everyday."
Hinata then thought about what Neji said. She stepped back, which made Sasuke lean forward. "I h-have to go."
"Where are you going?" he asked while leaning more towards her. His face didn't show any expression whatsoever.
"To th-this class." Just looking at Sasuke made Hinata apprehensive.
"What class?" Even the questions made her sweat. "It's not even first period yet."
He's right! She thought. Why isn't the damn bell ringing!?
"I-I must make a head start," she answered and right away, she left him to stand there, sneer deviously.
At last, she wasn't nearby him anymore. If Neji ever saw what just happened, he would rant non-stop about how many times he told her not to see Sasuke anymore. That would be completely troublesome and annoying to hear "I told you not to hang out with him, but you don't listen blah blah..."
There was a sound that came banging in her ears. It was the bell! Finally! First period began. It was time to go to math.
She came inside the classroom and saw Miss Anko there. Crap! She would always scare Hinata whenever she scowled at her without any intentions. She decided to take a seat in the middle row and found one sitting between her friend Shino, and Tenten.
"Hello Shino-kun," she muttered to him.
He simply looked at her and nodded his head.
Out of curiosity, Hinata turned around to see who was in the back of her. And then she saw Sasuke way at the back with his arms crossed and his usual apathetic, but hot appearance.
There is no point in avoiding him if he was in my class, she assumed and turned back with her left eye twitching and a forced smile. There was no point in avoiding this guy period.
Hours later, everywhere Hinata went, there was Sasuke who was right behind her. He would always find a way to talk to her, no matter how much she tried ignoring him. It's like he was stalking her! She couldn't take it anymore. This Uchiha guy was really bugging her with his constant show-ups. It was time to confront him.
Hinata was at the library while thinking of the words to say as soon as Sasuke began talking to her once again. She began reading a novel while waiting for him. When she put it down, she saw him right in front of her face.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Reading," she replied softly.
A noise of a clearing throat broke between them. Hinata saw her cousin right next to Naruto, who was filling out a paper at a table. She frowned and went back to her reading, but the book was immediately put down by Sasuke.
"I-I'm trying to read in p-peace," she told him.
"So?"
Neji slammed his fist on the table. Naruto turned to him with an angry look. "What's your problem!?" he yelled at him.
Just then, an idea came into his head. "It's just Sasuke," he mumbled at Naruto. "He keeps trying to score with Hinata-chan and he won't leave her alone. Besides, he told me he got a gun just in case she doesn't cooperate. There is nothing I could do." He started to shake his head in agony.
Naruto gasped at the lie. "That bastard!" Out of nowhere, he ran towards Sasuke and jumped on him, pinning him to the ground. "Leave Hinata-chan alone!" he yelled.
The three of them couldn't believe what the blond just did. It actually made Hinata turned on to see her crush defending her.
"Agh! What the hell are you talking about!? Get off me!!!" Sasuke snapped while struggling for Naruto to get off of him.
"As long as you stop bothering Hinata-chan!" Naruto snapped back. "It's obvious you ain't gonna get none!"
"Gonna get what!?" Sasuke arched an eyebrow.
"Don't play dumb with me, you pervert!"
"Look who's calling who a pervert! I'm not trying to get nothing!"
"Stop lying you asshole!" Where was the librarian when you needed her?
"Wait a minute," -Sasuke pushed him off with all his might- "are you saying I'm trying to score with her?" He pointed at the blushing Hinata.
"Isn't that what you were trying to do!?" Naruto stood up and pulled her arm. "And then shoot her if she doesn't give you her virginity!?" Hinata gulped. It is that obvious that I'm a virgin?
"NO! Who the fuck told you that!?" The door to the library then closed. One person was missing. Sasuke knew who was that one person. "Never mind."
Naruto's grip on Hinata calmed down. "You okay Hinata-chan?" he asked charmingly.
She smiled widely and nodded her head. "Thank you for c-caring N-Naruto-kun," she muttered.
He flashed his signature goofy grin. "It was nothing!" His face changed into a scowl onto Sasuke. "I'm watching you!" Then, he left the library silently.
"Um... okay then." Sasuke approached Hinata, looking as confused as ever. "What just happened?"
She giggled and snorted. "Naruto-kun is s-such a good person." He looked away and saw that no one was in the library, but those two. Suddenly, he felt someone grasping his hand. "You're b-bleeding!" she squealed.
He had a straight face on. "Must've been Naruto's sharp nails. Aren't they pretty?" They both chuckled at the remark.
Swiftly, Hinata took out a silky handkerchief out of her pocket jeans. She started to rip some of the clothing and bandaged it around Sasuke's bleeding hand. At the same time, Sasuke was stunned about the sudden movement.
"A-Ano," Hinata uttered.
He looked at his bandaged hand. Blood started covering the ripped fabric. "Ugh... thanks?"
Hinata gave a small smile. "Y-You're welcome."
It occurred to Sasuke that she was only standing there without trying to get all mushy about it. Usually when Sakura treated his wounds, she would always try to rape--er, violently make-out with him. Not this girl. She just stood there examining the handkerchief wrapped around the palm of his hand. Even though Sakura was the first female friend he ever had, she would always try to ruin that with a simple kiss. Why am I friends with that slut again? Sasuke wondered.
He stared at Hinata, which made her uncomfortable. She gave a fake cough to interrupt his thoughts. "Yeah?" he asked.
"Are you o-okay Uchiha-san?" Her eyes glanced at her shoes.
"Of course I'm okay," he replied, grinning arrogantly. "This little scratch won't kill me."
"I-I know..." -time to change the subject- "S-So anyways, d-did you t-think of a favor I can do f-for you?"
"First of all, you can stop stuttering."
"I-I'll try." Dammit. "But I can't be seen with you..."
"You didn't stutter!" Sasuke pointed out. "Why? Cause Nuttie said so?"
Nuttie? "Who?" Hinata tilted her head a little.
"Neji! Duh." This made Hinata giggle.
"I'm s-sorry Uchiha-san."
Sasuke raised his eyebrow. "For what?"
"I c-can't hang out with you."
"Pfft. It's not like I'm gonna hurt you or anything."
"But you're dangerous."
"Because I'm in a gang? Neji is too." He crossed his arms. "Why are you even listening to him?"
She shrugged. "He kn-knows what's best."
Sasuke rolled his onyx eyes. "If you think he knows best about you, he's hella wrong." He took her hand and led her out of the library. "I'll take you to see what we do when we're not pretending if you know what I mean." Yes, Hinata knew what he definitely meant. However, she didn't want to know what he or her cousin did out on the streets all day. It was as if he was endangering her life like Neji did to her. She didn't want to risk it.
"U-Uchiha-san," she muttered.
"Just call me Sasuke," he retorted. "You make me sound old."
"Um... are we suppose to c-cut school?"
"Um... no. Didn't you hear the last bell ring?" There were no students or teachers for that matter in the hallway. "We're not even suppose to be here anymore," he snickered.
Wow. Time goes by fast. "B-But I don't w-want to go with you," Hinata said.
Sasuke stopped in his tracks. "Then I guess you know what I mean then." He then kept going still holding Hinata's hand, until they were out of the school building.
He was greeted by a punch in the face.
"Ow!" he screamed. "What the fuck!?" He touched his cheek, rubbing against the spot Neji hit him at.
Neji hastily grabbed onto Hinata. "I told you to stop hanging out with her!"
Sasuke gave a big grin. "I can't help myself, mate." After that, he grabbed Neji and pinned him to the wall. Then, he swing-kicked his abdomen.
Neji shouted and hugged himself due the pain. He slid down on the wall.
"STOP!" Hinata bawled and frantically waved her arms. This had to stop before things go out of control. She ran to her cousin and helped him up.
"Tell him he's paranoid," Sasuke responded. There was a throbbing sensation on his face that caused him to feel angry.
"Stop hanging around with Hinata then!" Neji snapped.
"Why can't I!? She still owes me!" His eyes glared at Hinata. "And so far, she hasn't done anything that would make us even."
Hinata flinched. Why was Sasuke suddenly pinning this on her? She had nothing to due with their business in the first place! Hinata glanced at Neji. He couldn't even look at her. She glanced back at Sasuke. He was still glaring at her coldly, as if watching her every move. He did have a point. Saving your life from death was a major favor for her. A major she didn't ask for. But still a favor. Hinata did owe him. He was being a jerk about it, but it was her fault for not showing her gratitude properly.
"Neji-niisan," she began. "I do owe him. He s-saved my life."
Sasuke now had that same arrogant smile he had earlier. Neji just wanted to punch that grin off his "pretty" face.
"I don't trust him," Neji said.
"You don't trust me!? We're both in the same gang for Christ's sake!" Sasuke exclaimed.
Neji stuck his nose in the air. "You think that means anything?"
"Guys!" Hinata snapped. "P-Please stop fighting!"
The two males did as what they were told. They instantly stopped their bickering, glared for one last time, and then walked off to their separate directions. Hinata became relieved and followed Neji towards his car, even though she knew he would give her the silent treatment for trying to protect her. She felt bad for taking advantage of her cousin's defense. He was trying to protect her. That was the promise he made.

Silence.Again, there was no one home at the Uchiha estate. Mom and dad were working and didn't even bother calling his cell if he were home or not. His older brother finally moved out and would never be seen again until he finished college. Why did it have to be absolutely boring at a very big house? Because no one was home, that's why! Sasuke thought, fuming with boredom. He plumped himself on the couch and looked up at the ceiling. Hm... Who could I call? He took out his cellphone and fiercely looked at all the numbers in his cellphone, yet he didn't want to talk to none of the people he had as contacts. I should go out. He stood up from his couch and opened the door to his home. "Later!" he called out to no one and shut the door.
Sasuke passed by his car. "Not today," he mumbled and kept walking. There were people outside that he knew from school that he never really knew, but they knew him. Of course they know me. I'm Sasuke motherfucking Uchiha. Most of the ladies came to Sasuke as soon as they saw the sight of him.And that's a bad thing...
They were squealing and bitching for him. Some of them even got into a cat fight. The ladies' man only stood there, tired of the same old thing that kept happening when he's always around. It's the reason why he doesn't really have any female friends. Or a girlfriend for that matter. Not only do they hyperventilate when he's around, but they're willing to stab their friends in the back only to have him.
Speaking of backstabbers, there came Sakura Haruno punching the girls out of the way just to see him.
"Move it!" Only one command made everyone back off. They knew they couldn't win against Sakura. She had only one advantage that none of the girls had. She was Sasuke's friend.
Eventually, they all left them be. "Hey Sasuke-kun!" Sakura came hugging Sasuke while jumping up and down, just to make sure he feels her breasts bouncing on him. "I missed you! I felt like we haven't seen each other in awhile..."
Sakura Haruno. Pretty. Intellectual. Confident. And deceiving. "Tch," was Sasuke's only answer.
He remembered a time when she wasn't such a total bitch. Years ago, she was quite the opposite. Sure she wasn't as hot as she was now, but she still had personality. Almost everyone loved her. She was kind and understanding. That's what made Sakura, one of his best friends. Even though she was mean to Naruto, Sasuke would always find a way to put her foot in her mouth and still be not totally mad at her.
But that was long ago. Since she developed breasts and became homecoming queen, Sakura became a different person.
"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" she 'innocently' asked while fluttering her eyelashes.
"Nothing," he answered coldly and walked away from her, but she followed anyways.
"You can tell me anything," she stated while wrapping her arms around his neck.
Pathetic, much? "I wanna be alone," he said flatly.
Her mood turned disappointed. "Call me," she retorted and (cat)walked away.
Never!The last time Sasuke ever called Sakura was when he asked a dumb math question for homework. That was about it.
Unexpectedly, a light bulb flashed over his head, and he now knew how Hinata could finally owe him back.
End of Chapter.
