A/N: I checked Narutopedia and there was nothing about the building or location the Hyuga clan lives in so I created one of my own. The Hyugas live in an apartment like group of buildings with their own private training areas and shopping areas and such but it's very small and kind of limited so they enjoy going out for a change. I'll be adding more details but all you really need to know right now is that everybody lives in a few buildings surrounded by a few shops, restaurants and training areas. Oh and before I spelled Hyuga "Hyuuga" which is incorrect. Actually it's spelled Hyūga but seriously, do you have any idea how hard it is to go click the insert button and find it every single time I type the word? So blame it on my laziness if you want but I'm not changing it :P
Anyway, it's been forever since I've written and I'm so sorry but with all the planning for high school and all the crazy drama of day to day life I've been letting a lot of things slip D:
So here we go!
Naruto: Wait you baka! You forgot to say you don't own anything and all the rights besides Kirei-chan, Sasuke's cousin I've never met or heard of, and the plot belong to Masashi Kishimoto!
Sapphire: Call me a baka and I'll have Sasuke chidori you in the ass!
Naruto: ~gulp~
Sasuke: ~evil laughter~
Sapphire: Well anyway, Naruto said everything for me ~evil glare in Naruto's direction~ so enjoy! ~killer shiny smile in your direction~
Kirei's POV:
Naruto dropped me off in from of the gate of the Hyuga compound to look for Sasuke and Sakura. He wanted to stay but he had to make sure that his friends were doing okay, it wasn't good to leave the two alone for too long or Sakura would end up crying. Sakura got on my nerves, she was a baby and a terrible flirt but I could tell Naruto absolutely adored her. It was kind of sweet and I could tell he'd be perfect for Hinata if he ever woke up and realized how annoying Sakura was but I knew it was out of my place to say anything so I kept my mouth shut. I could see how Hinata admired him, he was defiantly determined and sweet but it made me curious how a few people threw him some pretty dirty looks; he ignored them so I didn't say anything. After he left I sat on my pack counting people go by. Strangely, it seemed like nobody was inside the locked gate, nobody walked by and I heard no noises. I knew the entire Hyuga clan lived there so I was a little freaked out. "Twenty-three, twenty-four… Oh I like that girl's hat! Twenty-five, twenty six, twen-"
"Hinata-chan! Oh my gosh!" I shrieked, running towards the startled girl. Hinata was wearing a thick tan jacket over a fishnet shirt and basic black ninja pants. Her outfit was so bland compared to my hot pink tee-shirt under my flowing white cardigan and white shorts. Her shocked expression faded into one of excitement as she hugged me,
"Konnichiwa Kirei-chan, I'm so happy you're here!"
"I'm so happy I'm here," I said cheerfully as we walked back to my gigantic bag. She picked it up with some effort before laughing at me,
"Kirei-chan did you bring your rock collection or something?" she asked before reaching into her kunai pouch and pulling out a key she unlocked the gate with.
"No of course not! I just needed to bring all my stuff and of course, tons of presents!" I said happily, jumping from one foot to another as we walked past a few training areas and a restaurant. We talked about what happened in between our last few letters and I told her about my latest ex-boyfriend, some loser whose mom wanted something from my dad that I dumped as soon as I met his parents, actually in front of his parents.
"Kirei-chan you wouldn't believe what happened today! Some creepy guy with no hitai-ate kissed me!" Hinata told me, flushing at the memory.
"Oh," I said simply, "Was he cute?"
"Kirei-chan! Well actually he was kind of cute, his name's Uchiha Yurei, Uchiha Sasuke's cousin." My eyes lit up at Sasuke's name and Hinata looked at me disapprovingly.
"I saw him with your beloved Naruto-kun and that annoying girl with pink hair. I ignored him and kind of talked a lot to Naruto-kun and it got his attention…" I explained sheepishly as Hinata blushed at the mention of Naruto. The subject was dropped when we got to the building where she lived. She got out another key and let us in before starting to climb up the stairs.
"I live up at the seventh floor with Father, Hanabi-chan, and Neji-nii-san. You can't really call it an apartment because we basically live in a house on top of the apartment. There are three floors containing seven bedrooms and bathrooms, one for each of us, a live in maid, and a guest bedroom where you're to stay. There was also a kitchen, dining room, living room, and Father's study." Hinata explained to me. The house was small compared to my father's, he enjoyed showing off with big rooms with expensive furniture that almost never got used but this house was just big enough, and really cozy. The people living underneath them were close relatives and all very important people.
After six long flights of stairs Hinata used yet another key to let us into the house. We entered the living room, tastefully decorated in pale green and cream with dark brown accents. An archway led to the dining room next to a swinging door that led into the kitchen. There were two doors, one that Hinata told me let into the maid's rooms and the other we walked though into a hallway. There were six doorways and Hinata led me to the first one on the right. The guest bedroom was nice, everything was decorated in cream and dark brown, the carpet was brown and the wallpaper was cream with shiny decorative swirls. Surprisingly, the bedspread and curtains were bright blue and the pillow cases and vase that held a few white flowers were turquoise, my two favorite colors. I hugged Hinata, making her drop the big bag, "Thank you! It's so pretty!" I said. She helped me unpack quickly, I tossed two bags into the closet when she wasn't looking, those would come in handy later.
We spent the night in my room, talking about everything and nothing. We cherished our time together because we knew it would probably be years until the next time we saw each other. It cost so much to hire so many ninjas to get us safely from one village to another. Our fathers couldn't afford to lose us but then again, they could hardly afford us visiting each other once a month. So we laid there side by side telling each other secrets, explaining our feelings and just sharing ourselves with each other the way somebody can only do with a best friend. Our hopes, dreams, and fears became one as we talked into the late hours of the night, savoring each moment.
Yurei's POV
"So," Yurei said, breaking Sasuke out of his daydream of a certain short girl as he flopped down on the worn but clean couch in Sasuke's small apartment. "This is your place..." Yurei said, taking in the simple clean space, memorizing every detail for further use. "It's not very much," he said dryly, smirking and Sasuke's angry expression.
"Hn... So remind me why you came to bug me again?" Sasuke said, sitting on the armchair across from Yurei and folding his arms. "I'll turn you in the minute I even think you're doing anything illegal." Yurei rolled his eyes and laughed at him,
"I'll stay on the right side of the road little cousin, and even if I do anything I won't get caught. Besides, can't an older cousin, concerned of his little, defenseless, baby cousin drop in from time to time?" He lounged back on the couch, enjoying the way Sasuke was glaring at him. "Hey," he said, remembering something, "Can I ask you something serious?" Sasuke looked at him curiously, leaning forward,
"...Sure... What is it?"
"Alright... Are there any cute girls in this town?" Yurei asked his face comically serious.
"Did you just come to Konoha for a long annoying vacation?" Sasuke's face twitched and he suppressed the urge to bury his face in his hands.
"Nope. Believe it or not, I actually have something to do here." He sighed wistfully, groaned, and stood up. "I'm going to walk around for a little, to see if I still remember my way around. Bye!"
~later~
"Hmmm… everything looks about the same…. Heh, looks like someone drew all over the Hokage's again! Seems like what I would do when I was younger…" I thought to myself, stretching my arms over my head and yawning widely; reminiscing about what life was like before I left Konoha.
I started walking back towards Sasuke's house; I was done exploring the city for the day. Walking past the Hyuga household, I saw a short girl with long black hair, talking excitedly to… I smiled widely when I recognized girl I almost scared to death earlier that day. Hyuga, Hinata I think. I remembered the cute surprised look she had when I first met her, and the enchanting way she blushed. And then there were those eyes… those stunning, pure white eyes… Smirking lightly, I sauntered towards them to see what was going on.
Kirei's POV
"The trip here was amazing, even though it was a really long and kind of tiring. The scenery was amazing and…" I stopped and tilted my head to one side. "Hinata, what's wrong?" She stared over my shoulder with a frightened expression on her face.
"I-it's that weird rapist guy I was talking to you about earlier…." She whispered. I whipped my head around immediately and saw guy leaning against one of the buildings near us. He was cute, with a sexy streak and a killer teasing smile, but in my opinion, obviously not as hot as Sasuke. "Yeah he totally wants to rape you, he wouldn't even consider going out with you!" I said with a mocking smile. Hinata was blushing furiously. "N-no!"
"Hey I can hear you perfectly well over here," He calls.
"Then why don't you come over here so you don't have to yell?" I yelled back smiling at him. He walked towards us, hands shoved deep in his pockets. I looked him up and down, my smile getting wider and wider and said, "Uchiha Yurei right? I guess it's true that most of the Uchihas are good looking."
He smirked, and said, "Sorry short-stalker-girl, you're not my type…" I was a little put off but grinned again when I saw his eyes wander over to Hinata standing a little behind me. He winked and she turns red again, hiding behind me.
"Ehhh… I can't see your cute face anymore… "He said, disappointed, peering over my shoulder. "Hinata-chan, wanna go out with me tomorrow?"
Hinata turned even redder, which was hard to believe, and stuttered "U-uhmm…"
"She'll be there!" I said quickly.
"W-what?" Hinata squeaked.
"Ok then, meet me at the park at six okay?" Yurei smiles and steps back.
"Bye! And my name isn't short-stalker-girl, call me that again and I'll kick your ass!" I yelled as he walked away.
"Bye Kirei-chan, see you tomorrow Hinata-chan!" he turned the corner and disappeared.
"And who are you calling a stalker mister?" I screamed.
