hmfan: Shut up, Sai, I don't feel like hearing your shit!
Sai: All I'm saying, is what you proposed is totally girlie!
hmfan: It's a fluffy romance.
Sai: Slapstick comedy.
hmfan: Tch.
Sai: Hn.
hmfan:blushes: ... :giggles:
Sai:closes eyes: ...
hmfan:glomps Sai: Aw, I can't stay mad at you. I'm glad I have servants like you. (who really belong to Kishimoto, but oh, well)
Sai: Whatever, I still can't believe what you've chosen for the Jonin exams.
hmfan: Inspiration is inspiration. Hey, can you take me to Burmingame California?
Sai: What do I look like?
hmfan: An arse. An arse for my arse to sit on. :sits on Sai: I'm queen of the world!!! Oh, and by the way readers, can we all just pretend my math sucks. (even though it doesn't) I don't feel like proportionizing everything to suit your fancy. Sorry... So for now, Hinata's 15. Work from there.
Sai: Ouch.
hmfan: I'm not that heavy!
Innocent Life
Damn. Sasuke thought, getting up from his chair. He looked to the left. Then to the right. Then made his way away from his teammates. Sure, he'd missed them while he was away, but not that Sai guy. Yeah, Sai was a baka. A pure-breed idiot. An idiot that he wanted nothing to do with. He remembered Sai waking him up from his peaceful dream of the past. Which was rare, counting most of his nightmares.
Sakura dropped her head into her arms, sobbing lightly. Now, we know Naruto hasn't quite grown out of his puerile oblivion, but come on, he knows when a girl feels bad. His arm went around Sakura, pulling her closer, "Are you okay, Sakura-chan?" He gave her a grin, wishing for her spirits to rise, "Sasuke is being Sasuke. We should just rejoice the fact that he's returned, right?"
That helped a little, but it wasn't just the fact that Sasuke left. No, she's grown since then. It's her feelings. Her emotional distress of choosing. Sasuke or Naruto. She looked to Hinata, who sat there with a big question mark on her forehead. Hinata...she needs Naruto, but...Sasuke doesn't like me anymore. Tears came to her eyes. She wanted her friend to be happy as well.
Hinata looked down the streets. Her team wasn't there anymore. Ever since Kurenai had left, her team's meets have been rare, and missions had been heavy. They probably left without her. She sighed, observing her surroundings. She didn't wish to bring this much sorrow to Team 7. Her intents were to make everyone happy.
Sai seemed to be happy. He sat there with a smirk, "Sai-kun, what did I do?" Her voice was that of a child, not the young woman she looked to be.
Although Sai was...Sai, he still respected Hinata's innocence. Well...he was kind of beaten to respect it. (Sai: Incident with Neji. :shudders:). But respected none the less. He gave Hinata a smile, "Oh, Sasuke-kun must be...uh...he is...hungry. Yeah." He improvised as he spoke. (hmfan: Obviously.)
"Oh, I remember," Hinata held up her finger, she'd read this before in an article, "Uchiha-san probably just hasn't been eating that much while he's been away! Maybe, if I see him later, I'll give him a bento box." She smiled, wondering what she'd make Uchiha-san. He seemed to like ramen, but she always made ramen for Naruto-kun. If she wanted to impress Naruto-kun, she'd need to cook something very special for his best friend. She got up heading to her home, "Bye, Sai-kun, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan! I'll see you soon."
Walking down the lanes, Sasuke was having a hard time coping with his...problem. This has never happened before. It's called puberty, Sasuke-chan. Aw, hell. Don't 'Aw, hell.' yourself! I'm the side of you who talked me into beating the Thriller madness snake freak. I know. Yes, so listen. That feeling wasn't any old feeling. Then what the hell was it? A special feeling I'd like to call...the tingle of destiny. It was more like a...did I ask me? If I asked myself, I would say so. Now, in the midst of this...discussion, he decided to rest in a nearby, random tree. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't one of those pep talks, more like a heavy debate on how important this...tingle was. It's not every day Uchiha Sasuke...tingles.
Meanwhile, Hinata was happily making a special lunch for a special person. I really do hope Uchiha-san will like this dish. His malnutrition must be really bad to have a nose bleed. She added a bit more miso to the smoking pot. She wiped her hands on a nearby towel before pouring some water for rice in a bowl, I wonder if he likes cinnamon dango like I do. She shrugged picking a red cinnamon bottle.
Neji walked in, sitting down, quietly observing his cousin. A smirk came across his face, "You know I don't like cinnamon." Hinata always enjoyed making him lunch. He questioned why his cousin was so...bubbly today. Just a certain spring to her step as she cooked indicated that something was going right in her life. Contrary to just yesterday.
The heiress nearly dropped the glass bottle, looking to her cousin. She blushed, shaking her head and looking to her fingers. It was just like Neji-niisan to tease her! Always butting in on her personal life. Good thing she was too oblivious to notice his very weird crush. She opened her mouth, "Oh, Neji-niisan, gomen, but this isn't for you."
He quirked an eyebrow. This was...weird. It was either him or Naruto. Naruto already had a designated bento box placed on the table in front of him. Another person? "Then...who?" Let's see...according to the schedule, (hmfan: Jonins rule!) Kiba and Shino had individual missions involving the Snow Country this week. They'd already left. Then...
"Sasuke-kun! He's back. Can you believe it?" her face lit up. This was one of the best things that could ever happen. She was sure to welcome him, "I think Naruto-kun is happy he's back. Although..." she looked down, "I don't know how he feels though. I was thinking...maybe...I could tell him how I feel. I'm pretty sure after Sakura-chan begins dating Uchiha-san, Naruto-kun would want to spend more time with me." She blushed, poking her fingers together, but then immediately turned around to smell that the rice was done.
Neji, being Neji, nodded, letting out a big sigh. Ever since that mission to rescue Gaara-baka had been successfully accomplished, he'd noticed Naruto and Sakura's relationship to be particularly...growing. A lot like his favorite Soap Opera, Hinata just couldn't tell Rober- rather Naruto her feelings. Anime tears came to his eyes Little Cousin! "Is that so?" Wait, did she just say Sasuke-kun? He spat out the green tea that was sitting in his mouth, "SASUKE'S BACK!?! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU COOKING LUNCH FOR HIM?" If he sounded angry, he wasn't. More like...pissed. A hint of jealousy as well.
Hinata's eyes watered. Did she upset Neji? What could she have said. It's not she did anything bad by cooking Uchiha-san a dish. If anything, it would be a good deed. Uchiha-san looked like he needed food...and possibly a friend. Everything from the way he carried himself to the way his face turned pale worried her, "I-I just w-wanted to b-be nice to him." She looked down.
"Do you know what kind of person he is? An Uchiha! The ultimate trickster in all of the history of Konoha." Neji took a deep breath of the soothing aroma from his tea. The clan head warned Neji not to tell about the legend. It wasn't time yet. Not yet. In fact, that talk might be after the talk. He shook his head, "Especially that one. I don't know if you remember, but Sasuke's brother, Itachi," he spat out Itachi's name with bitterness, "killed his entire clan. That's a troubled boy. Even before then, his family never listened to him. They neglected him, and compared him to his brother in the intent to belittle him." His eyes widened. That might not have been the best thing to say. A mental slap could have knocked him cold then.
Her hands clamped together as she sat her wooden spoon down. That was okay with her. It wasn't like they were polar opposites. She'd thought it was much worse, but their pasts...were so similar. With that in mind, Sasuke would be an even better friend than she imagined, "Perfect."
Wise old Neji shook his head, "I still don't know, Hinata. Anyway, you stay away from Sasuke. I'll be sure to alert the guards." He stood up, looking to the door. You're mature enough, right, Hina? A sigh came from his mouth, "I need to get to a mission with the gang." He nodded, walking outside, closing the door.
Hinata was left to a quiet and serene kitchen...
Not so tranquil, was Sasuke-kun's mind currently. It'd been a good few hours, and little did he know, Hinata was looking for him. I really don't know, Tony. Let's just say Sasuke's inner's name was Tony. (hmfan: Weirdo. Japanese names are so much better.) Look inside you, look beyond. The world around you is not what it seems. Will you stop it? Hey, I'll think about it. Love is a heavy concept. I know for one thing, it's definitely not...a breeze broke his thoughts. The light breeze brought upon a subtle, but conspicuous aroma. Cinnamon, salmon, and a bit of rice came to his nostrils. Sweet compared to the pile of neko-crap he'd been sitting over.
The window stay open just a few meters away from him, calling for him to come in. He watched in awe as he saw his hime recline in her bed, letting out a cute yawn. She tucked herself into her bed before dozing off for a good night's rest. Although, it wasn't specifically a good night's rest. The midnight moon light shone directly on her face, now screaming for Sasuke to approach.
Falling into temptation, he slowly climbed in and over the futon. She was located on the first floor, right across the hall from the council room. Although, her window was hidden well inside the manor. He noted his surroundings, Sharingan blazing. It looked as if it were a prison. If she were with me, she could have whatever style room she wanted. He smiled, looking at her body, but then frowned looking at the scrolls and seals settled everywhere. No color whatsoever. It was just bland. Bland and gray. Definitely not fit for a fifteen year old.
The door creaked open. Sasuke turned around and met eyes with Hyuuga Neji. He prepared himself for a fight, taking the stance and looked up. Neji opened his mouth, "You look especially sexy today, Hina." He blushed falling back, unconscious.
That was uck. Aren't they cousins. It felt like he was in a dungeon as he closed the door, giving Hinata and him more privacy. He wasn't going to do anything...wrong. He just wanted to find out somethings. She seemed like an interesting person. Strong, beautiful, polite. A person of great moral value, but of course he's only known her for less than twenty four hours. All the more reason to get to know her.
The door slammed open. This time, revealing a small eleven year old girl. A Hyuuga, looking more like Hinata although in a mini size and totally chibi. No caring glow at all. Just...scary, "What the hell are you doing in onee-chan's room, Uke-baka?" The girl walked in, slamming the door behind her.
Sasuke didn't even think of looking back, "I'm just here." This wasn't the first time they've crossed paths. He remembers her implanting some chip inside his neck, next to his curse mark. He rubbed it, wondering if it was still there and what it was for.
"Oh, sorry, Uke-baka," she smirked, pulling out a few kunais, "let me make it simpler. Why are you in here?" She demanded with such authority. Over the years, Hanabi and her sister have developed a bond. Hanabi was overprotective of her older sister, knowing her heart was more delicate than her own. She's even given in to training with her.
The Uchiha smirked, still not taking even a glimpse back, "I need to be." He closed his eyes, deactivating his Sharingan to calm down. At times, when his Sharingan was on, his curse seal would activate automatically under stress, "I think...she's the one."
hmfan: Well... what could 'the one' mean?
Sai: Can you get off me?
hmfan: NO!
Sai: Ouch...
hmfan: Anyway, shout out to Reona Heartilly! She helped me to understand how to get inspiration. Thank you.
Sai: You know the grammar sucks.
hmfan: SHUT UP! Oh, is it too much of a surprise? My writing style has changed...a bit. I really hope you can tolerate it. My new rule is Imagination, Elaboration, Organization, Presentation. One goes up the other goes down. That's how it is.
Sai: My spleen.
hmfan: Believe me, the taser hurts a lot worse. extraordinary.rocker thanks for taking Kaya (an OC from Gaara) off my hands for a bit. I trust you. Next Chap: Fun Day!
