Disclaimer: I do not own NARUTO....sadly....

Chapter two: 30 minutes

Out of sight...out of mind...out of time, to decide.

Hinata didnt kick, nor did she scream, she just silently plotted Itachi's slow and painful death. Oh how she will enjoy this, Hinata thought smugly and crossed her arms over her supple bossom. She knew Itachi didnt like her silence. She also knew he didnt like her new wardrobe choice.

pfft yea..rite, Inner Hinata obviously disagreed. But she brushed it off as she landed with a soft thud on Sakura and Naruto's spare room's bed.

"How undecent, for a Hyuuga of all people to dress like that." Itachi sneered, "get changed now Hinata." He glared his famous theres-no-room-for-arguments glare.,

"Y-ye-" wait, who is he to decide what i can and cannot do? It took a whole lotta courage for me to step out in this, never mind walking out in more piercings then I can count. I am so NOT going to change. Hinata thought angerly while stubbornly lifted up her chin in clear defiance,

"How about no." Itachi's sharingan wheeled eyes widened visibly, but he quickly recovered, hiding his thoughts. Hinata has never spoke against me before. He must have spoken his thought aloud for she snarled angerly;

"Well now I am. Im the new Hinata, and I like my new self. So kindly leave me and my clothes alone or I will kick you through that wall before you can say; Itachi-is-an-over-bearing-asshole. Once." Hinata dared him to say it. Dared him to try and crush her new found confidence. Over the last few weeks, Hinata practised in the mirror on how to stand up to Itachi and his imtimidating aura. And gosh dammit she is going to put that practise to good use even if it killed her.

Itachi looked generally amused, an expression that looked out of the ordinary for the Uchiha heir. Hinata flipped her long hair over her slim shoulder, it swirled behind her as she jabbed a finger in his direction.

"Itachi I am not your fan girl. I am your bestfriend, and I will not let you destroy this-this feeling that i am learnign to love. If you think your hunger for power is bad, try my hunger for some self confidence. Now I am going out there like this." Hinata gestured harshly to her attire, "Wether you really like it or not. Either love me or hate me. Your chocie."

"Hn."

"Dont go all emo on me."

"Hn." Itachi repeated, and turned away.

"Just because you're emotionally constipated, you dont have to take it out on me." Hinata glared. Itachi was impressed; Her glare almost exceeded the Uchiha's.

"..."

"Now shoo before your...whatever you call it...infects me. GO!" Hinata clapped two times and then made a shooing gesture.

"Change or I'll do it for you." With one lasting glance, the Uchiha heir disappeared in a swirl of smoke.

"Oh no he didnt." And with that Hinata marched to the twin doors, and tugged harshly, only to find them.... locked.

"THAT BASTARD."

Do we run? should I hide?...for the rest...of my life.

how was that? not to bad two chapters in one day eh? thnx for the review(s) I know hinata is way OOC but PLEASE bare with me. I want her to seem tougher, even meaner, but not by a whole lot. She'll still be the same hinata, just more...opinionated or outspoken.
