Chapter 4

I looked at the inside of my locker. All my school books were neatly arranged. I reached in pulling out only the ones I needed for my homework. I slammed my locker closed and weaved my way through the crowd of students in the hallway. Neji had told me earlier this morning that he was going to be late, so I sat on the steps in front of the school, waiting for him. I hate it when Neji comes late. All the people rushed passed me. They were all in a hurry to go home. Propping my chin on my hand I sighed. Where was Neji?

"Who were you talking to at lunch?" I screamed, surprised. "Sorry Hyuuga, I didn't know you were that jumpy." Sasuke Uchiha sat down next to me.

"I … was just thinking." Why was he willingly sitting next to me?

"So are you going to answer my question?" Uchiha-san glanced at me quickly and then looked back at the street in front of us. I guess he didn't think I would notice but I did. I was a little confused what was he talking about? Wait… he meant what he said when he scared me half to death.

"Ummm…" Damn, what do I say?!

"HINATA!" Thank God! Saved by the bratty little sister! Hanabi ran over and pushed a paper in my face. "I got an A+!"

"I'm not surprised at all." I smiled back at her. She worked so hard on the project.

"Who's your boyfriend?" she asked, looking at Uchiha-san.

"Oh … this is Sasuke Uchiha, and he's not my boyfriend," I told my sister. I felt the blush on my face. Turning to Uchiha-san I said. "This is my sister Hanabi." He nodded in greeting and looked back at me. He still wanted me to answer his question. What do I do now?

"Hinata! Hanabi!" Neji's truck was stopped at the curb. He caught sight of Sasuke and glared at him. "Uchiha."

"Hyuuga." Sasuke glared back. The tension felt really thick all of a sudden.

"Get in back you two." Neji shifted the truck back to drive.

"Good-bye Uchiha-san." I waved politely as Hanabi and I climbed into the back of the truck.

"See you tomorrow, Hyuuga." He smirked at me softly and I watched him grow smaller as Neji drove away.

"He was cute." Hanabi smirked at me. I blushed and looked away. Hanabi was … right. Uchiha-san was cute.

"HA! You think he's cute too!" Hanabi pointed at me in accusation.

"What?! What are you talking about?" I hate it when she reads my mind.

"Your face is redder than a tomato."

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Neji! Tell her that I am not blushing." Neji looked at me through his rear view mirror, but no words left his mouth.

"HA!" Hanabi laughed at me and I glared at Neji.

"How's my favorite little brother?"

"I'm your only little brother." Sasuke flipped through the pages of the book in front of him.

"So?" Itachi leaned on the doorway of his little brother's room.

"So … go away," he growled, pushing his long bangs away from his face in frustration.

"Is it those feelings again?"

"… I have done some research and it all leads to supernatural stuff."

"Supernatural how?"

"Spirits, Itachi."

"Great." Itachi smirked and went into the kitchen.

The stars were bright in the sky. Hanabi and I sat on the roof staring at them. Usually we would just sit there and talk or pick out constellations.

"Did you hear from that ghost again?" Hanabi asked.

"No ... I'm worried about her. if she doesn't move on soon she might turn." I lied back down against the roof tiles, resting my hands behind my head.

"We could go to that crime scene and try to find out who the killer was ourselves." Hanabi suggested. She hugged her knees to her chest. "Maybe she would be there."

"I don't think so. She made it perfectly clear that she refuses to go back there." Hanabi smiled weakly at me. We sat there for another hour still staring at the stars.

"Hello dear." I jumped. Holy crap, she scared me. Hanabi asked me what was wrong but I was too concentrated on the woman sitting next to me. Before I could say anything she continued. "Your sweet little sister is right. you should go back to the crime scene." She smiled politely at me and disappeared. Fine! that's it! I'll go to the stupid crime scene even though I know it won't help me at all. At least it will get her and Hanabi off my back. I stood up and climbed down the ladder.

"Where are you going?" Hanabi called down to me.

"The crime scene," I muttered, stepping onto the balcony.

"I'm coming too."

"No you're not!" I don't want her to get in trouble too. Daddy would kill me, bring me back to life and kill me again.

"Yes I am," she declared. Sliding down the ladder, she jumped down in front of me.

"Whatever." she could be such a brat sometimes.

"Hinata …" she was afraid.

"Shut up Hanabi." She jumped at every shadow that crossed the hallway. Pointing the flashlight at the door leading to Ayame's apartment, I pushed open the door gingerly.

It was pitch black in the room until the light was switched on. Damn it, my luck sucks. Two police officers stared at us. One of which was the man who made me talk to the police captain.

"Hello ladies." The other officer said. "You two are going to take a trip with us."

"Cool." I glared at my sister. It was not cool! That ghost set me up.

Hanabi and I sat in the back of the police car silently.

"I'm sorry you had to get in trouble dear, but I need you to see them," she smiled sadly.

"You're sorry!" I was so mad. My dad was going to kill me. I was lucky Neji was the only one home two days ago because if he found out I would be as dead as the people who talk to me. "I can't believe you would do this."

"Who are you talking to?" One of the men asked. He glanced at me through the mirror.

"Your mom." I replied. I was not in the mood for all of this. Hanabi started laughing hysterically.

"Watch your attitude girl!" I smirked, stupid jerks.
