Drops of Blood
Chapter 3
--2 years later--
Hinata sat next to Neji at the church. She was surprised that Neji was able to hold up so well. His father had just been killed in a car accident the last week.
"Hinata, you realize that after this, we have to go live with your father."
It had dawned on Hinata before but she'd never really given it actual thought.
"Yeah."
The funeral was over and the two left.
Hinata sat her bags down on the hard wood floor.
Her room hadn't changed.
Nothing had been touched.
The blood stains were still there as if haunting her.
The letter opener that she'd used to cut flesh so many times was covered with old blood.
She fell back on her bed and sighed.
"Hinata, there is dinner to be made." Her father called through the door.
She stood and opened the door.
"I'm kind of tired father."
He glared at her.
They said he'd change but she knew better and went to make dinner.
The four of them sat around the table.
"You two will begin school on Monday. Are you prepared?"
"Yes father."
"Yeah."
"Good, I've missed you Hinata."
Hinata nodded, it was more like he missed her work.
"Which reminds me, there is some laundry to be done."
Hinata nodded.
"Why does she have to do the laundry?"
"Neji, I don't know how your father managed things in your house but as for mine if you don't work you don't eat."
"What about Hanabi." Hinata muttered.
"Don't you dare question me." Haishi hit Hinata on the jaw.
"Sorry father."
"Now listen you two, this is my home and you will do as you are told!" Haishi threw his chair at Hinata and Neji and went upstairs. Hanabi followed behind.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, just fine." Tears were building up in her eyes.
"Hinata?"
"I knew he couldn't change. Just leave me alone."
Neji nodded and headed to his room.
Hinata slumped against the counter.
"I thought I was finally out of hell."
She took the knife of the counter and slit open both wrists.
She saw the blood begin the flow.
"What am I doing? As Neji says, you can't change destiny." She grabbed dish rags and wrapped them around her wrist.
"Maybe one day my destiny will take a turn."
Monday came and the Hyuga's went to school. Hinata and Neji both went to Konoha High School. Hinata was a grade lower than Neji though.
She recognized a lot of faces and a few recognized her but there was a bigger gossip subject spreading.
Naruto practically fell into his seat.
He let out a heavy sigh and banged his head down against his desk.
"Come on dude it's not all that bad. If she's going to fool around on you then your better off alone."
Kiba jumped over a few desks and took his place next to Naruto.
"Dude I heard about you and Sakura." (A/N: They're friends now!)
Naruto groaned.
"Sorry."
"It's just she was planning to do this from the beginning. She didn't ask me out because of love."
"There are thousands of other fish in the sea. Besides you may have to deal with heart ache but she made you popular which will increase your chances."
The bell rang and the teacher walked in.
"Ok sit, shut up, and listen to the announcements."
No one ever listened to the announcements so the guys just sat around and made fun of the principle, Tsunade.
Hinata hurried down the hall to her first class.
She had to admit she was pretty nervous.
She stood in front of the English II door.
Slowly she opened the door and stepped in.
"You must be the new girl Ms. Tsunade told me about."
"Yes, I'm Hyuga Hinata."
The entire class was watching her, even Naruto.
She looked amazing in a pair of dark jeans, a purple tank top, and a white jacket over it.
"Damn, Hinata looks amazing. He hair's grown out and everything." Kiba whispered.
Naruto just stared.
"You can take a seat right there." The teacher pointed to a desk in the back corner.
The announcements ended and class started.
The bell rang and Naruto decided to talk to Hinata. She used to listen even though they weren't friends. Not to mention maybe he could make Sakura jealous by hanging around with her. (A/N: Gosh Naruto! Use the golden rule!!)
"Hey Hinata."
"Oh, hi Naruto."
"So you're going to our school now huh?" (A/N: Duh...)
"Yeah."
"Well I gotta get to class but maybe we could talk later?"
"Sure."
"Well see ya."
Hinata got into the lunch line behind the guys.
"Hey Hinata!" Kiba smiled.
"Hello Kiba. How are you?"
"Great!"
"Oh hello again Hinata." Naruto smiled.
Kiba gave Naruto a quizzical look.
"So Hinata, there's this party going on Friday at Ino's place, you wanna go with me?"
Kiba was in total shock. It was just a few hours ago that Naruto was all upset over Sakura. He had a funny feeling.
"I'd love to." Hinata was sure her father would be out that day.
"Great."
Kiba didn't like this, there was just something fishy going on.
