I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up
At the stars no no no no
And I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars - Justin Nozuka
I put sixty-five cents in to the little box and boarded the bus while being careful not to drop the box that my uniform was in. I found a seat in the back by the windows. Which I began looking through. I small smile escaped me and a giggle but I controlled myself so as not to draw attention but I kept the smile there. I began to remember what happened this morning. No matter how many times I thought about it, it just got funnier.
I heard a small 'so soft' come from underneath me. My leg was wrapped around something very warm as were my arms. It was a very comfortable and warm position and I never wanted to leave it but like always thinking about not waking up woke me up. It was raining outside which made it dark. What I saw first confused me. It was a mass of blond hair. Then I remember the person who had blond hair.
Naruto-kun had blond hair. That's when I really woke up and could tell what position I was clearly in. My arms were casually around naruto-kun's neck while my leg was wrapped around his. His position however is what made me blush. His arms were surrounding my waist and weren't letting go anytime soon. Not to mention the fact that my shirt had risen up some so he wasn't touching fabric but rather skin. A-and his head was on my… "So soft.". He half moaned again as he snuggled closer into my chest. 'Oh my god…what the hell!' what to do, what to do? I rubbed his head trying to rouse him from sleep.
This time he groaned probably trying to stay in dream land. I started saying his name trying to wake him. It's not like I didn't like the position and believe me I did but I had to pick up my uniform before three and well that's all I had to do but this position made it feel as though we were lovers. Naruto started moving one of his hands away from his hold on me. Though he wasn't waking up, no he was scratching his face but then he did something stupid he put his hand down on my chest then squeezed. I screamed and pushed him away and off the bed.
I hadn't meant to exactly do that but he just crossed the line, awake or not. He got up from the floor and scratched his head and yawned. "Hey Hinata that hurt." he said whining then he got a look at me covering my chest up with arms and the blush on my face. He was smart enough to put two and two together. "Oooohhh, Sorry Hina-chan but it's really not my fault your chest is so soft, big and-" I throw a pillow at him to shut him up. It was not my fault I had a D-cup and that my chest refused to stop growing.
The look on his face was one of pure shock but he tried to explain himself. "Hey! That's not very nice and here I was complimenting about what a great che-" I threw another pillow at him but this time he ducked in time.
"Naruto-kun say another word about my chest and you'll regret it." I said through clenched teeth. He just smirked at my threat. "Oh are you proposing a challenge?". I could tell he wanted to play something that he knew he could beat me at especially after that incident of me winning last night. Though who know what kind of game Naruto would suggest. Him being almost unpredictable it could be just about anything.
"Oh you know I am Naruto-kun!". For some reason when I was with him I wasn't shy like I usually was with other people but with him everything I said or did was just naturally nothing forced or strained. He brought out the inner me, the one I was always afraid people would hate, and he didn't seem to hate it though. "Okay Hinata you got yourself a deal." He tore a piece of paper off one of the magazines in the room and grabbed a pen that was on the floor. "Come to this place at hmm I guess fourish. Oh and wear clothes that you can move easily in.". He climbed back onto the bed and laid down. Then opened one eye and looked at me.
"I'm going back to sleep to save energy…you can also save your energy if you want.". What was he talking abo-Oh he was asking if I wanted to sleep next to him again. To bad for him I had to go to the school and get my uniform, but that was just an excuse. It was just that when he touched me like that and I could smell him my mind sort of went hazy and blank.
I got off the bus three blocks before the apartments so I could do some shopping at the boutiques and find some sweats that I could easily move in but at the same time not make me look like a bum. I found some really good clothes a pair of black sweats with the words peace in pink on my thigh and a pink t-shirt. I also bought a tote bag to put my old clothes in. I changed into the new clothes at a public restroom. Then I walked to the apartments to drop off my uniform. So I just went to the bus stop and waited. There was a group walking past me. Quite a few people bumped into me but eventually they were gone.
Five minutes later someone else bumped into me and I nearly fell over but the person grabbed my elbow to stop me from falling. I couldn't get a good look at the person because he or she was wearing a baseball cap. Before I had a chance to thank the person he or she whispered in my ear. "We warned you. Be prepared." I quickly turned around trying to get a look at the person, maybe notice something unusually or out of the ordinary so I could I identify them later.
But when I looked there was no one there. The voice was clearly a mans voice, and I was pretty sure when he said 'we warned you. Be prepared' he was talking about the letter…and they wouldn't come up to me unless they knew I was hanging out with Naruto. How? How were they watching me? Did they have camera hidden, did they have spies in every shop we visited, or did they just follow us? The sound of the bus doors surprised me. I was so wrapped up into what I was saying to notice the bus. I got on after having put my money in the slot then sat in an unoccupied seat in the front.
I was very scared because these people were following me and obviously they weren't the nicest people in the world. 'That's it' I thought. I was going to confront Naruto about well…whatever this was.
That wasn't going to work. What was I suppose to ask him. Were than any people that hate you enough to not want anybody to get involved with you? No, it was stupid and rude. Especially since I barely knew him.
I arrived at the place that Naruto told me to go to. It looked like an abandoned place. I wasn't even sure this was the right place but I walked towards the door and opened it surprised to see obstacles that went all the way to the ceiling. The obstacles were walls with holes or something in them. Then they were covered in neon splattered paint. I started walking around trying to find Naruto when I was suddenly wrapped in a bear hug from behind then lifted up. I tried to turn to see the face despite the fact I already knew who it was. I just wanted to see his face some more.
"Glad you came Hinata-Chan! Come on everyone's in the back!". He put me down and grabbed my hand turning various walls and soon we ended up in front of a door which he opened and it revealed four people. The room was huge about the size of my total apartment! It had chairs, tables, a mini fridge and bean bag chairs and for some reason a white board. Out of all four people I only recognized Sakura, and Sasuke. There were two other people but I didn't recognize them.
Ten minutes later we were introduced. The blond girl that looked very stuck up, name was Ino. She was wearing a light purple shirt and violet pants, and all that purple it actually looked good on her. Then the guy next to her who looked like he rather be anywhere but here was Shikamaru. Apparently he was a genius but very lazy so no one really assumed he was a genius. They were dating. I had found that hard to believe. She looked like she was supposed to be dating a jock and he looked like he didn't even care if he dated but here they were dating. His arms around her waist and his head leaning on her shoulder.
'Oh yea' I had just remembered "Sakura, Sasuke why are you guys here I thought you were going to Sasuke's parents house?" Sasuke didn't say anything like he knew Sakura would just explain the reason.
"Well just being at his parent's house for five minutes was torture. First they decided since we were living together we need the sex talk" She said pointedly. "Then Mikoto, Sasukes mother, keep awing about how cute a couple we made and how if we had kids they would be cutest grandbabies." Her voice didn't sound mad. "Oh and don't let me forget his dad. Fugaku, keep saying how if we were going to live together we might as well get married. Ugh! It was so horrible, so when Naruto invited us to this we jumped at the idea."
At the end of her rant she was basically steaming. Sasuke like he did last time got her to calm down. He placed his hands on the side of her face and he leaned his forehead against hers and looking her in the eyes. Even though they weren't doing anything embarrassing, it still felt rude to watch them so I looked at the wall. "Sakura breath." She did as he said and was back to normal. I could understand where Sasuke's parents were coming from but the idea of marriage when we were only sixteen was well awkward.
I turned to where Naruto was "Naruto-kun what exactly are we going to do?" He was fumbling around in a closet before he pulled out a duffel bag which he passed to Sasuke and then he pulled out six paintball guns. Sasuke opened the duffel bag and passed padded shirts with colors on them. Sakura and Sasuke were red, Shikamaru and Ino were green and Naruto and I were orange. Then we were each given a helmet also with a color on them.
Each person was given a gun. Naruto went over the basic rules and warned us that we may get welts. Each group was given a headset that would only contact their partner. Then we were given paintballs the same color as our team. We walked out of the door and into the arena. We were allowed twenty seconds to hide before we were allowed to shoot. The machine began to count down. Naruto came up to me and whispered in my ear. "Hinata let's split up so we can cover more space. 'Kay?" I nodded once before I ran in the opposite direction that he ran in.
The machine was a loud and clear woman's monotone voice. "14...13...12..." I could imagine everyone with their guns up and peaking carefully around the wall. Well everyone but Shikamaru. "7...6...5...". I was starting to get nervous what if I was the reason Naruto and me lost? "3...2...1. Game Start." As soon as the machine said that I heard Naruto say "Let the games begin" through the headset.
I started running hoping to run into someone and luck would have it, I did. It was Ino, I could tell because of the purple pants. Her back was to me and I shot but not before I felt something hit me hard in the thigh. I turned surprised to see Shikamaru standing there. "Now neither of us have points." He said in a clearly bored voice. I was pushed out of the way by Ino who latched herself unto Shikamaru. "Great job Shika-kun but couldn't you have got her before she hit me, so we could've had a point?" I chose that moment to sneak away but not before I heard him mutter 'Troublesome' under his breath.
"Naruto-kun I just got shot by Shikamaru-san but I shot Ino in return." I said dejectedly into the headset. Though Naruto's response did surprise me. "Woo! Hinata great job at making sure the enemy doe- Hey! Sakura! Be careful this isn't really a war!" I heard him run and Sakura scream 'Get back here!'
"Sorry bout that Hinata but like I was saying good in not letting the enemy get ahead…Hey! Teme don't think I don't see you!" I heard some shooting coming from his side of the headset. I saw something red go by. When I got behind a wall with several holes in it and shot the person, who I assumed was sakura, in the head. The person grunted from the force of the paintball hitting their helmet and that's when I realized I had just shot Sasuke. Even through the helmet I could tell he was glaring at me.
I ran away only to bump into someone. I automatically aimed my gun when I regained my balance ready to shot when I saw who it was. "Naruto-kun" He was smiling at me probably at the fact that I was getting into the spirit of the game. "Hey Hina, you seen Teme I lost him?" I pointed to the area where I had last seen him last. Naruto headed that way and I heard five shots, then I saw Naruto come back. "Whoa, Teme is pissed. Someone shot him and he thought it was me because he said he saw orange then he shot me four times and I could only shot him once."
I blushed embarrassed that the reason we lost three points was because I shot Sasuke in the head but Naruto just smiled. "Great job Hina-Chan" I blushed even more because he hadn't called me that since the incident at his apartment.
Two hours later we were finished, tired, and bruised. We were in the same room that we started in. All the equipment came off and ice bags went on. I finally figured what the white board was for. It was to write scores of the teams playing paintball or laser tag as Naruto said when I asked him if anything besides paintball was played here. On the white board the scores where listed.
TEAM PURPLE: Shikamaru: Hit: 32 Points: 7, Ino: Hit: 15 Points: 23 Total: -17
TEAM RED: Sasuke: Hit: 12 Points: 25, Sakura: Hit:20 Points: 20 Total: 10
TEAM ORANGE: Naruto: Hit: 23 Points: 21, Hinata: Hit: 18 Points: 15 Total: -5
"Wahoo! You know what they say Teme first the worst second the best, third the one with hair on their chest!" Laughing at his own joke we all just stared at his third grade logic. Naruto was trying to justify that second place was the best. "Last time I checked Dobe they didn't give gold medals to second place." Naruto glared at Sasuke while Sasuke just smirked.
We all decided without talking that it was time to leave. Ino and Shikamaru left first in Ino's 2005 Red Cadillac XLR. She was driving while he slept. Sasuke and Sakura left to The Uchiha Compound in Sasuke's 2008 Black Mercedes-Benz which he only drove when he visited his parent's house and left at their place when his visit was over. All of Naruto's friends seemed to be rich with those cars which made me wonder about him. Was he secretly rich too? I wanted to know more about him, but I didn't want to come across as being nosy.
We decided to just walk home since it was good exercise and Naruto didn't want me taking the bus alone at night. Even though the sun wouldn't set for another hour. When I suggested we both take the bus he said he hated public transportation. I smiled at him he was really funny and sweet. We were walking down the street when I realized something. Did I like Naruto? I mean sure he was sweet, kind, funny, warm, optimistic, cute, hot, se-no, no bad thought bad thought. Naruto's hand brushed up against mine.
I looked up at him. I had read in a magazine that when a guy's hand brushes yours when you're walking and there's plenty of walking space for him not to run into you he wants to hold your hand. It also said that usually the guy won't hold your hand unless he knows you want it held. His hand brushed mine again and I blushed as I grabbed his hand and wrapped my fingers around it. He looked at me and I looked the other way then he started moving his hand so our hands were woven together. His fingers touched the back of my palm and I did the same to his. This time I did look up and he smiled gently at me.
We looked like we were dating walking the way we were. We arrived at the apartment's right as the sun was setting and I finally gathered the courage to ask Naruto what I had wanted to ask him since the letter arrived. "Naruto-kun" I said in a serious voice. We were standing in front of my door. "I-I got this letter warning me to stay away from you and today a person warned me again" I think I ruined the moment. And I say that because as soon as I said that he pulled his hand away from mine. Naruto looked panicked as though he wanted to talk about anything but this. I really wish I could yell 'Just kidding' but I wanted to know. "And I just want to know why they don't want us to hang out."
"Can we go in so we can talk about it?" I nodded and opened the door. I was going to get my answers but why did I feel like I wasn't going to like the answer.
Ok I finished this while my mom was telling me to get off the computer so sorry if it's a little rushed.
