Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own NARUTO (I'm still in my EMO CORNER!). In some chapters I don't own the plot because of my co-write. She's such an genius I got her own Fanfiction Account but I don't know when she'll use it; she's FIREPSYCHO14. I do own this chapter plot though… I know it'll suck because, like, I don't want to make Hinata a total bitch to Shikamaru. It's still Hinata! She's a calm, soft hearted person. But she will be introduced to Sakura in this and I can make her as much as a bitch to her ex's current girlfriend. I hope y'all like it!
Shino and I return for the last 60 minutes of 3rd period a least 10 minutes before the bell rang.
See here's the thing, unlike Shino, I actually try to be nice to people, unlike Kiba, I don't have a short temper… unfortunately, when I do, it's about my shortness. So, you can point out that saying 'I'm not short, my temper is' and it would totally be me. Buuuut, back-to-the-topic… Unlike Tenten, I don't have the urge to kill every sexist guy within 10 feet of me, a lot of trouble keeping her away from Shikamaru. Unlike Temari, I'm not smug about my grades. And finally, unlike Neji, I couldn't be perfect at everything.
See so even I had flaws in my new self… which Shikamaru seemed to figure out.
But on the bright side, I still had the upper hand. We still on to set Deidara up with her, not even if Shikamaru knew that I was planning to set her up, he'd never figure out with who.
Ugu! Yet here two of us were watching Shikamaru still cozy-cozy with the bleach blond b-leeep herself. Someone kill me now! ShikaIno? Not the most pleasant thought for those who loved the ShikaTema.
I seriously need to get my mind off of them… *Thinking*… *Thinking*…
Oh, that's right. The reason I was back in the jail ground for. Sasuke Uchiha.
The name still brought a small blush into my cheeks and a smile to my lips. I had to admit I still loved him but after what he did to me. And I guess it wasn't that bad, I had a pretty forgiving hug but what he did to me was beyond forgivable.
This is how it went;
We've, Sasuke and me, been friends since we were little. Mostly because of our families. They had been working on Uchiha and Hyuga Incorporation for a while but didn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
I was 5 when my mom died giving birth to Hanabi, I didn't blame her or anything. Actually at the time I was grateful. Because if it didn't happen then Sasuke and I wouldn't have had our first kiss.
Over the years we become closer and closer until Kindergarten. I meet Kiba and Shino; he meet Naruto and Sakura. We still talked to and from our way to school but other then that we've always been in different classes.
We entered middle school and had almost the same classes. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th , 7th. The only classes we didn't share was Home and Math. He asked me out the 2 semester of our 7th grade year.
Then his parents died, by then Itachi was 18, legal and he was placed under his care. Since then he'd been withdrawn from his friends. The Rookie's became worried but only a selective few were allowed to ever enter his house. Me, Naruto and Saskura.
I can only guess was that was when it all started. Sakura and I spent a lot of time checking up on him; we just became close friends, this was before Tenten and I had met Temari.
Well, we entered High school with out any problems or shadiness. We went into different groups again. Sakura and Ino paired off again. Tenten and I bonded with Temari when Neji, Lee and Shikamaru started hanging with Gaara and Kankuro.
Sasuke stopped talking to me for days, ignoring me, not returning calls, emails… it was me after all, so, what did I do?
I headed for his house, Itachi had given me a key for when he was out on business trips and Sasuke was home alone. Anyways, I slip inside; place my book bag on the kitchen counter and head up stairs. Come to his room and find him sleeping with Sakura.
I didn't stay long enough for them to notice me, but over the end of Freshmen year word had gotten out. Rumors were spread that I was controlling girlfriend with nothing better to do then cling to a man. Now, you can imagine how bad the taunting was for me.
I felt so miserable; I became even more so when they dragged Temari and Tenten into it. We encountered each other in the hall, Tenten, Temari and I with Sakura and Ino. There were three of us and two of them but I didn't like violence. Tenten and Temari did the must they could but when it came to physical contact I couldn't take it.
;FLASHBACK;
There we stood, Tenten on one side and Temari on the other; me stuck in the middle; the runt of the group.
Sakura smirked, "Well, hello there, C-Birch."
I shivered slightly, lowing my eyes.
"What was that, Haruno? Did you say something?" Temari spoke up. "I thought for a minute you called Hina something."
"What's it to you, Sand-Slut?" Ino hissed, placing a hand on her hip.
"Just because you're one of Shikamaru's friend doesn't mean I won't hesitate to kick your butt, Yamanaka." she hissed right back.
Tenten tried to avoid any violence, "Temz, don't you should know she isn't worth it. We need to get home. The boys will get worried."
"Oh, look! They're late for an appointment." Sakura said a little loud.
People passing stopped to see what was to come.
"Does Hinata know you've been laying her cousin? Maybe Kankuro?"
Tenten was the queen at smart comments, so after that she came at them with all she had. But one a big burn to Ino turned up…
All I heard was skin to skin, my eyes popped open and I saw Ino's raised hand to slap Tenten again when I tackled her.
I remember me saying stuff like don't touch my friends, that they could tease me all they want but never my friends. I remember hair between my fingers and screams and grunts of frustration.
"Hinata! Hinata, what the hell?" Kiba shouted as his arms wrapped around me; pulling me off. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Shikamaru and Chouji by Ino, Neji checking Tenten's cheek and Gaara and Kankuro trying to calm their sister down.
I started to cry, I didn't know what to do. I hated being the center of attention. I was so clouded by my emotions then I didn't see Ino starting to advance on me.
"Ino, leave it alone." Shikamaru moaned.
"Yeah, Ino, why don't we just go? We can really get in trouble." Chouji commented.
"Do you think I'm going to stand there and watch her make a fool out of me? She better be ready because I going to kick her a-"
Shikamaru managed to cover her mouth before Kiba could start smart mouthing.
"Ino, that's enough. God, this is such a drag." he started to pull her away from the scene.
;FLASHBACK ENDED;
I got Ino pretty bad, I could've done worst to Sakura if Kiba and Shino didn't pull me away from the fight.
Tenten and Temari were Capitan and Co of the Cheer Squad back then but were booted off because it. I felt even worst because of it. When my father heard about it he got me ready to be shipped off around the world to keep me out of trouble. I tried to keep incontact with Neji but I lost it when I was off in Mexico.
I looked down at my keyboard. God, wasn't I pathetic. I was about to cry in the middle of the school day.
"Hinata Hyuga?" Kakashi called my name.
"H-Here." I answered a little to silent for me now.
Shino turned to looked at me, "Are you well?"
"Y-yes, I'm fine. Just… Kind of out of it." I said and waited for the class to start.
(=*-*=)
4th period English Honors with Jiraiya.
Just what I needed, the master perv as a teacher; I'd hate to think of what he's done to some of these boys minds.
"I'm a banana, I'm a banana, I'm a banana. Look at me move! Banana power, banana power, banana power. Look at me move!" "Chicken, C'Chicken. I am Chicken. C'Chiken." "I'm a banana."
I groaned mentally. How did they get into a Honors English class? I couldn't just diss them out front because 1) it was the queen of connections herself, Pooriina. 2) one of them was Kankuro girlfriend, Pamera.
"Happy llama, sad llama, mentally disturbed, super llama, drama llama, big fat mama llama… Camel."
I'd be lucky if came out of this class mentally sane.
To make matters worst, the walking manikin sat in front of me. Green eyes, pink hair, red outfit… nothing's changed much except for the fact she was call pres.
She turned and smiled at me, "Hi, I'm Sakura Haruno. I'm the class president. You're new here aren't you? What's your name?"
I saw the Ps roll their eyes on either side of me. Which was great to know I wasn't the only one who hated the president's guts.
I sighed, "I'm not new, in fact, this will be my second year here at Shinobi High. I'm Hinata Hyuga."
The smiled that so kindly placed on her pink frosted lips slipped, "Oh, I didn't expect the C-Birch to return. What are you doing here anyways? This has no place for people like you."
"Like who, Sakura?" Pooriina asked suddenly.
"Pretty? Smart? Loyal? Natural talent?" Pamera joined in. "If so the only ones here should be you, your boyfriend, your best friend and Shikamaru because none of you are any of those."
"Pretty? You hid behind eyeshadow, lip gloss, mascara and blush. None of it is natural." Pooriina said applying her own lip gloss.
"Smart? The only reason you got to this grade and class is because you're the Vice-Principal's apprentice." Pamera said, tapping her pencil boredly.
"Loyal? Ha! You slept around with so many guys that Sasuke can't even begin to believe you could've."
"Natural talent? I don't see you carrying a book, notebook, instrument case or any other supplies saying you have any talent other then you mouth."
"But, then again, Pammy. Everyone has to have some talent with their mouth."
"You're right, Poory. I guess some people are just better then others. Especially, with the extra practice." Pamera finished with a smirk.
The girls around us all 'ooo'-ed, some of them even like 'them chopped, dice, smoke and smothered her'.
"Pamera, let's not forget about the names. C-Birth, Sand-Slut? I seem to remember a time where Sakura was all over the guy's to get votes." Pooriina said smuggly. "Likely she didn't try anything on mine but she still paid a lot."
"Oh, yeah, you throw yourself at Gaara and Kankuro." Pamera said her eyes icy. "Didn't you try to seduce Neji, too? What about Naruto? I heard you guy went missing on the last field trip. Luckly, Naoko was the one who found you."
Pooriina leaned forward and poked Sakura in the forhead with her pencil, "And let's not forget the Janitor's Closet. The so call "accident", Saku-C."
I just sat there and watched the two barely known girls stick up for. I felt the year of preparation just leave from out of me. Like I wastes the year for nothing, but I can't say I wasn't grateful.
"You can get in trouble for insulting a student officer." Sakura pointed out. "Besides I'm not in the back of the library with 2 boys, am I, Pooriina?"
Pooriina leaned back and smirk, "I play body-shots with my friends, and not in the way you think. I got busted once or twice for knocking the books off. In a way I'm grateful that I do, do that. I know where to punch, kick and slap to make you scream in agony. Ask anyone here, I've tackled tons of boys in my life time. But never have I ever came on to them."
"Hypocritical much there, Saku-C? Dare I say? I think so." Pamera leaned forward and pink up Sakura pink hair. "Think before you say something, or it just might come back and bite you in the butt… By the way, pink is so 10 years ago." she then tossed the hair right into Sakura redden face.
*Clapping* "Bravo! But next time could you wrestle?"
The class looked up and saw the teacher by the door way.
"No, good, lousy, dirty old man." the girls grumbling relaxing in their seats.
(=*-*=)
Homeroom. One of the most relaxing time of the days. That plus I share a homeroom with Kiba and Shino. I also had my favorite teacher, Kurenia.
It wasn't unknown to the class that Kiba, Shino and I were her favorite but I haven't seen her for a year. The last time I did she was 1 month pregnant; Asuma yet to know. Now he was gone and I wondered how she was holding up. A single mother on a teacher's salary? Didn't sound so good, especially since she was also looking after their child's cousin, Konohamaru. Though, I suspected that the principal was sending monthly finances to help with his son's child.
I stepped into the classroom, only to be standing in front of the black wavy haired, crimson eyed teacher.
We just stood there looking at each other.
What was I going to say? I leave without a notice and here we are. Not a single word being said. I had missed her, no teacher has ever helped me like she had. I never told anyone but when I had caught Sasuke she was the person I went too. She ended up calling Kiba and Shino.
"Ah-who!" an excited voice shouted grabbing my waist and forcing me into the teacher. "Look! We're together again! Just like old times, don't you say, Shino?"
There was a strange muffling sound. It took both of us a while to figure out it was Shino who was smothered between us.
"Inuzuka, you can let do now." both us, girls, huffed.
Knowing Kiba he wouldn't do it if he was told that way.
"Kiba, if you don't let go, you will lose both of her freakin' arms!" I hissed.
He stiffened for a moment and the next he was in the corner whimpering, "Please, please, please. See Shino's okay!"
Yes, he was okay, but and was choking for breath on his hand and knees.
"Yeah, and half unconscious!" I snapped before noticing the other person by the door.
"Hey, Baki sent me over. *Sigh* Temari and Ino are at it again. He didn't want the kid in there for it." Shikamaru complained handing the baby to it's mother.
"Gee, I wonder why." I snorted. Apparently not only did Baki take over Asuma's class but Temari and her brother's transferred to their middle school teacher's homeroom too. "Why don't you go and help your girlfriend, before I go and help Temari?"
"That won't be necessary, Hina." Kiba said, suddenly beside me. "I'll go instead. You should catch up with Kurenia."
"And that won't be necessary, Kiba. Baki can handle both girls." Kurenia spoke up. "Anyways, Hinata, meet Asuma Sarutobi. Asuma, say hi to your Godmother, Hinata Hyuga."
I stood there in shock. I was Asuma's Godmother, I was my teacher's son's Godmother. I turned to fully face them and looked down at the child.
He had Kurenia's hair, black and wavy
I heard Shikamaru groan, "I'm in the same boat as her?"
I glared over my shoulder, "And what is that suppose to mean, Nara?"
"Get back here you no good Barbie!" Temari's voice shouted though the hall.
Shikamaru groaned, but even I caught the hint of something else in the tone. "Troublesome woman."
I giggled even more, "And who might that be?"
"Ahhhhh! Get away from me, you psycho bitch!" Ino darted past the door.
Temari followed right after. Baki right after then, "Chouji, you're in charge! Temair, Ino, get back here!"
We waited… waited…
-Clung!- "Ahhh!" "Ha! Got you, Blondie!" "No, let go of the hair, let go of the hair!" -Bang!-
Kiba and I high-five-d each other.
"Hinata, take Asuma, I'll be right back." Kurenia said.
I smiled down at the child and set by pack on the floor to get a better hold. It took me awhile to realize Shikamaru was still in here, "Well, Temz just got a hold of your girl. What are you going to do?"
He rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
I cradled the baby in my arms. It was hard to believe that I wasn't there for the birth of the kid I'll be watching grow up.
"So what would this make you two?" I asked silently looking at the boys.
Kiba scratched the back of his neck and gave his grin, "I guess you could call his is uncles or something. You're is Godmother, we're like brothers to you, aren't we?"
"Of course you are. Why wouldn't you be?" I asked smiling. "How is it that Kurenia has her baby here?"
"Are you forgetting that he's the principal's grandchild?" Shino said.
I turned my head to look at him, I had totally forgot about his almost death. "So does he get passed around though out the day?"
"No, he's either in here with Kurenia or with Baki." Kiba answered. "They've been seeing each other since Asuma turned 2 months."
"Seems like she has a thing for history teachers." I smiled some more. "He's going to be a smart boy growing up in a school and with us and Shikamaru looking after over him. Hee, I don't think Ino will help out much in the brains. But he's be picking up so many girls with fashion tips.
"Let's not forget that Baki has Temari, Kankuro and Gaara to back him up. He's going to a super genius with Temari. Talent with Kankuro. Not to mention Gaara's fighting.
"He's going to be special." I cooed.
"Awww! It looks like Hinata is still soft hearted!" Kiba cheered.
I glared at him, "Kiba, you're acting really gay."
It defiantly was an interesting first day.
(=*-*=)
I was heading toward the front of the school when I pasted them. Naoko, Pamera and Pooriina.
I went by instinct and followed to them.
"Hey, Pamera and Pooriina, right?" I spoke up.
They nodded, "Hinata Hyuga? Legend of the school and soul survivor of Sasuke's heart attack. We are like your biggest fans."
"Um, thanks. I really wanted to say thank you about last period. But I couldn't expect less from Kankuro's girlfriend and the Connection Queen can I? Thanks. Maybe we'll see each other around." I said.
"Your welcome. In fact, I've been wanting to get in her face the moment I found her with Kank." Pamera said. "That slut is never going to get her polished nails on him again or it'd be far worst."
"Their Tongan." Pooriina answered for me.
I liked them, more then I should I guess, but they could come in handy. But right now all I needed was a good hacker. Because I had lost mine to the other side.
"I'll see you around." I say as I turn and head again for the door.
It was time to face my father and younger sister. I guess I just need to prepare myself.
(=*-*=)
I stood at my family's gates, looking beyond the iron hinges at the old Victorian Mansion that blocked the slightly smaller mansions of the rest of the Hyuga family.
I felt Neji's presence behind my back, I stiffen. I knew my father wouldn't be due home from work within an hour. I had my bags already sent inside earlier that morning, they would be in my room, waiting to be unpacked. I had ordered the house employees to keep my arrival from everyone. I'd stay in my room while Neji and father had their nightly assembly with the Hyuga Corp council.
I breathed deadly, pushing the gate open, I prayed I wasn't going to get an ear full later.
During the time of waiting I unpacked, making sure not to be too noisy. I arranged some things. I had placed my new books from the different countries on the selves, set my computer up and checked if I had received any from my friends. 6 since I left the last place; Greece.
Before I knew it, it was 6: 45 PM. I rushed out of my room, sneaking past my sisters room and down stairs. I rounded up what I needed. Coffee, hot coco. Dunking doughnuts and cookies. By the time I was done it was 7: 55.
I made my way to my father's office with the tray in my hands. Making sure they still where in the meeting I held back and waited.
Moments later I heard the meeting being dismissed. I waited behind them, keeping in the shadows. I entered when I was sure it was only father and Neji left.
My father didn't change much. Long black hair, purple/lavender eyes.
He was looking at some paper work, ignoring another's presence. Setting the tray down, I saw his eyes flicker to it then back to his work, "What is this?"
I smirked alittle, I was a little scared, "Sorry, father, I just thought that you'd like a refreshment after the meeting."
He looked at me, "When did you get back?"
"This morning, father. I thought the announcement should wait until after you returned from work." I explained.
"You knew about this?" he asked Neji.
"Yes, uncle."
"I see you've lost you're stuttering. I hope you won't make a fool out of the Hyuga again." he said picking up the coffee.
"I'm sorry, Father, but that is something I cannot promise you." I said meeting his eyes. "There is something I must do before I can fully promise something like that."
He stared intently at me, "What would that be?"
"Nothing, its just that I… I have some business to settle with an old friend."
"And?" he pressed. "Who is it?"
Neji's eyes shot to mine. He knew something I didn't, I couldn't wait to find out.
"I cannot answer that, Father. But you will find out soon enough. I swear I'll try not to do any permanent damage." I turned to walk away. "By theway, a friend of mine, might be asking out Hanabi soon. Its just a heads up. Night, Daddy."
Haishi sighed, rubbing his forehead, "What happen to her?"
"I don't think anyone needs to answer." Neji spoke up, setting his mug down and helped shuffle the papers into folders.
"What is that suppose to mean, Neji?" his uncle asked, looking at him.
"She's just thinks it'd be nice to show Sasuke the meaning of messing with a Hyuga."
*Rustle* "I want you to look after her. Make sure that the bad blood between her and Uchiha. Nothing should disturb the Hyuga and Uchiha agreement. Agreed, Neji?"
"Yes, Uncle."
Author's Notes:
1) Sorry I haven't updated. Those of you who have just finished testing you understand, right? That and I just got lazy.
2) By the way, I have no clue where I'm going with this but I will finish it.
3) I'll be working on another story called NARUTO Characters' Splendiferous ART of Poems that will Restlessly Naw Themselves into OUR BRaiNS. Long title? I know. But it's the point of the story. The title is the warning. I will put some couples in this one, also the characters will be very OOC. I'll take some poems any of you would like to see in this story, but it will not be published until I finish this one.
4) Any thanks to all of you who have read or reviewed to my story.
5) REMINDER! This isn't a SasuSaku Facfic, in fact I'm not sure what couples will stay to the end.
6) I liked the BakiKure pairing. I think it's because I've been reading DEAR KAZEKAGE. it's a good story. I loved the pairing in that so I guess I kind of stole it. Any of you who don't like it please tell me, and any idea as to who she's be better with that isn't Asuma. By the way, it can't be Kakashi because I like him better with Anko. That is a couple that is my choice so deal with it.
