The Siren

Chapter Five
OOOo
Hinata was still confused even after the woman showed her inside the room with cameras, lights, surrounding a decorated small stage.
"Hey Anko! Here's your—"
"Kurenai! He escaped again! I was telling him about the new—Oh! Is this her?"
Hinata look at the strange woman who was wearing a kind of a fish net dress inside a jacket and is wearing a denim short and boots.
"Yes, I think. She was still sitting on the lobby when I pass by to call the manager. Wait, who escape again?"
"That Uchiha boy."
Kirenai let out a frustrated sigh. While Hinata thought to herself, 'Uchiha? Where have I heard that name?'
"Tell the photographer that there will be a solo photo shoot for now. That Uchiha is going to pay for this, when I get my hands on him I'll—" she heaved a huge amount of breath before storming out of the room. Hinata could only watch as Kurenai went out. When she turned back, her eyes directly met two pair of brown ones.
"U-Uhmm. . . Ano. . ." drop of sweat fell down and she was really sweating a lot.
"Now that I look at you closely, you're totally cute and pretty. With that fresh face and those cute pink cheeks, you could go without any makeup!" Anko step back and smiled down at Hinata.
"For now I'm your stylist and makeup artist, Anko, one of the best."
Hinata bowed politely, "I-I'm H-Hinata, nice to meet you. B-but you see I—" when she look up to explain her situation. Anko dragged her and pushed her to the room behind the thick curtain.
"Now then, what should you wear? Should I make you wear the lavender bikini? Your skin is pretty smooth and creamy; you wouldn't have to worry showing every bit of those."
Hinata felt chills run down her spine as she looked at the woman who was snickering evilly while searching on the hanger for clothes. Hinata started praying for them to be appropriate.
OOOo
Meanwhile . . .
'Where is she?' Neji thought as he reached for another door. But then he paused for a moment, thinking back. The pass few minutes each time he opened a door the place becomes weirder and worst.
When he opened the first door, a jungle with dinosaurs had greeted him. It was like a Jurassic Park, according to what he had previously read about those science fictions. The second one has a beach with those little coconuts. The third one was a dessert. The fourth one was a room with a stormy blizzard.
'How did all of those fit in this one building?' he thought as he turn the knob and push the door open. What greeted him almost made his jaw drop. There, directly in front of him is a huge waterfall, a waterfall! Neji quickly slam the door shut.
'I think I better find Tsunade-san first.' he thought as he traced back his step to the lobby.
OOOo
"Waah~! So cute! I knew kimono looks good on you. You look so adorable!" Anko squealed as she looks at Hinata in a white kimono tied by a yellow obi.
"Look here Hime!"
Hinata shyly look up to Anko and then suddenly before she could even blink a big flash of light momentarily blinded her and when she tried to open her eyes, her surrounding went in a swirl.
"Hinata, are you ok?" Anko asked as she instantly went to her side. Hinata shook her head as she slowly stood up.
"W-What was that?"
"You mean the camera? I'm sorry I took a picture. It was just that you look so cute! So—" Anko slowly stood up. That's when Hinata felt another familiar chill.
"A-Anko-san?" Hinata nervously look at the woman who was snickering while opening a certain bag. Anko took out something white and fluffy and turn to Hinata with her eyes in a sharp look. Hinata gasp as she looks at the outfit Anko was holding out.
"This is the newest edition of bunny outfit and it goes with bunny ears too! Now then—" Hinata took a step back as Anko slowly advance towards her with the dress in her hand and her eyes gleaming.
"A-Anko-san, y-your eyes a-are g-gleaming with d-dark i-intent." Hinata stuttered as Anko slowly approach her, eyes gleaming and lips grinning.
'Neji-nii, where are you?' was the only thing she could think about as Anko pushed her in the dressing room behind the curtain for the second time.
OOOo
Neji heave a huge breath before letting out a sigh. He reached for the knob then turned it before pushing the door open. He breathed out a sigh of relief as he looks at the 'normal' room. It was a bit big but the props were nothing out of ordinary like the others he saw. Heck, from what he witnessed those things were beyond than ordinary. He step inside the room and spotted the blond woman he wanted to see discussing something with the crew. He sighed as he slowly approached her.
"Tsunade-san, we need to talk."
OOOo
Anko look at her watch and frown.
"That's strange; the photographer was supposed to be here a few minutes ago. I better call Kurenai, stay here ok?" she placed the camera inside her bag and then head out of the room. Hinata took this as her chance to escape. She slips out of her lavender gown and change in her uniform.
"I'm sorry Anko-san." She thought as she open the door and hurried out of the room.
ooo
Hinata look around, all the corners and room look alike and she was pretty much lost by the time she head out of the room. She shook her head and put up a determine look.
"I have to hurry. Neji-nii must be worried about me. If not, then he must be pretty mad at me for disappearing like that." She shook her head as she turned into another corner.
OOOo
"Are you sure?" Tsunade look at the blank stare of the boy standing in front of her.
"Yes." Was his only reply, Tsunade sighed.
"All right, I'll just finish my work here then we'll check the security room."
Neji silently waited in the corner and watch the blond woman finish her discussion and sending her last order.
OOOo
Hinata looked at the dead-end corner with only one door in front, she sighed.
"If I don't ask for direstion, the more I'll be lost." She opened the door and went inside, only to find herself in an empty studio with music filling in the room.
With a defeated sigh she turn around and was about to close the door when the music pierce through her hearing sense.
"This song is—" she looked back with wide eyes as she started to approach the stand with paper sheets laid at the top.
"This is a song of a Siren." She thought as she scanned the paper.
"What a very sad song. It's so sad that I could feel the heartache of the composer." She thought as she slowly close her eyes. The siren inside her was slowly opening to the familiar song.
She heaved a small amount of air and the next thing she knew, she was singing along with the music.
"Why is it that this song is so familiar to me, where have I heard it?" many confused thoughts echo inside her head. Even though she doesn't have any memories of it, her heart seems to remember each and every word.
OOOo
A certain boy with dark hair and onyx eyes was quietly walking in the corridor wearing a famous scowl on his face.
"Huh! Why should I put up with some stupid-squealing-girl just to get the cover done? Like I care." He thought as he turn into a corner and halt. He looked around.
"I thought the audition was already finished a few hours ago." He thought as he slowly followed the soft voice echoing in the corridor.
"That's strange. Why do I feel like I know this song?"
His feet seemed to work on its own. And without knowing it he was already standing in a corner looking at the slightly opened door.
OOOo
His eyes were focused on a certain dark blue haired girl from behind the control room. He was just taking a rest from all the audition when suddenly a soft familiar voice awakened him from his reverie.
He was captivated by her sweet voice and her serene look.
"I found her. The siren of my song." He thought as he slowly head out of the control room and slowly approached her. But then the spell was broken as she stop and quickly open her eyes and instantly met his own.
OOOo
Hinata look at the pair of red eyes, looking at her. Her ears were pounding from embarrassment and she felt a faint coming over.
"I—I'm sorry!" she quickly apologized as she fled.
"Wait!"
OOOo
"Sasuke! There you are! You irresponsible kid! You still have a shooting! Hey!" Kurenai shouted as she spotted Sasuke standing in a daze.
"Shit!" with that cursed thought Sasuke started to turn and run at the opposite direction while Kurenai chase after him.
"Stop right there! Sasuke!"
It was incredibly unbelievable how she could chase him at an incredible speed while on stiletto.
. . .
A few minutes later Hinata went out and fled to the opposite direction and then followed by a certain raven guy with red eyes.
OOOo
