Yay! Chappie Eighteen of Hinata!!
PS This filler-chapter is VERY random XD
Just thought of warning. It's rather disturbing, actually.
Disclaimer:
Neji: Lumberry doesn't own Naruto.
Me: Yup! Keep going.
Neji: Lumberry also does not own Hinata.
Me: Noooooooo, not Naruto! Of COURSE I don't own him!"
Neji: ... Lumberry also does not own Kiba or Sasuke.
Me: Nooooooooooooooooo keep going.
Neji: (sighs) Lumberry does not own Kakashi.
Me: Stupid.
Neji: Lumberry does not own the weird squirrel that Rock Lee has on his shoulder in the second part of the Chuunin exams in the woods of the Forbbiden Forest in epis -
Me: I don't know how I think such a dolt is cute, but... (Neji sniffles)
Here's the Chapter Eighteen!!
It's still
November 7, Year of the Crescent Moon
- 12:36 -
I mope around all morning under the training grounds. It hurts; my back, my neck, my head that's spinning; everything that has happened since I moved into eighth grade - it's jumbled up into this seemingly gigantic lollipop-swirl that keeps spinning...
It's also snowing, the first snow of the season...Konoha's winters come in fast and the snow swirls, dampening my hair and I lay there silently...
Stop it.
The Genin should be done fighting by now; it's obvious I'm not going to fight Sasuke. I wonder if I'm now graded on a sixty-scale instead of a seventy-scale? And if I passed as a Chuunin?
Hah. Scratch that. Expunge that. Obliterate it; no where in my life will I ever be as good to be a Chuunin. Genin is all I have.
I rest my head against the warm, scarred bark of the ancient oak tree...
"Hinata!" I jump. It's Naruto. Normally I'd be annoyed by his loud and obnoxious voice, but today I'm glad to have a change of pace.
My smile is genuine, the first in many days. I turn around - sure enough, the blond ninja is grinning cheekily at me.
"Hi, Hinata!"
"Hi. Did you win?"
"You bet!" His fist pumps the air. "I beat Chouki easy!" His eyes dance mischievously. Yes...Chouki.
My smile somehow loses its focus. I think of my chances of becoming a Chuunin. "That's goo - "
"Hey guys!!" shrieks Ino, running up. There's Temari, Shikamaru, TenTen, Yumeki, Chouji, and even Shino, following behind. "How was your day? Boring? Is Sasu - "
Her voice is interrupted by Shikamaru's annoyed one, but my heart is already filled with happiness for merely existence.
They were...all looking for me. Me! Hinata.
"Let her get used to you, dang it, Ino!" he complains. "It's troublesome."
She ignores him, and continues - "I WON!!" she shrieks, and then turns back to her partner, Yumeki. "Sorry."
The black-haired, blue-eyed kunoichi shrugs it off with an unusually soft voice. "That's okay. I understand."
I feel like smiling again, expecting a rainbow to appear in the -
snow -
It's really snowing now - I just realized everything is white! The Genin are all wearing jackets and tightly wrapped scarves; I'm in a thin shirt and long capris.
But I'm strong. I mean...snow's not such a big deal for Konoha.
"It's...snowing!" The whiteness contrasts sharply with Yumeki's ebony dark hair.
"Yes..." Shino talks again, his voice rather warm. "The first snow of the season."
"Snow, huh?" says Shikamaru.
Temari grins, flashing a look at him. "I'm up for making a snowman!"
"Let's go, then!" exclaims Chouji excitedly, the first time eager for something that was non-edible (A/N: Snow...is technically un-edible, right?? Or...?).
- 12:52 -
We laughed, grinned, talked, argued, and threw snowballs for ten minutes until I heard the sound of bickering.
Two figures are walking in the near distance, both faces sullen.
Sakura's voice; "It's not my fault he was hurt! It's a freaking battle!"
Kiba ignores her and walks faster to us, his cheeks flushed and his mouth set in an angry line.
My surprise at the difference lasts for a second; then I realize what it is... "Where's Akamaru?"
Kiba surprisingly shoots Sakura a furious glare, and she returns one with equal venom. "She injured him. He's in the hospital. Intensive care!"
Sakura throws up her hands. "How was I supposed to know who was the real Kiba? It's because of your stupid jutsu that morphs the two of you into condescending jac - "
"Shut up, you - "
"Weeeell," I try to cut in lightly, but I see the emotion raging in his eyes, "It's snowing and we're...having fun?"
And we were; everyone (including Shino) was singing "Deck the Halls" with great off-keyness until two seconds ago.
"Snowmen?" He wrinkles his nose and points. "There're two in the distance."
It's true; and one snowman is taller and larger than the skinnier one. Both are wearing green scarves. Ino, Temari and TenTen are unwrapping the green scarves and laughing.
"Did you guys make it?" inquires Kiba, looking back at me, his attention diverted. I'm glad I got him off the subject, if just a little.
"Um, no, we - " I start to say just as -
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT'S THE SNOWMAN!" shrieks Ino. "MY GOD HE'S AFTER US!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Chasing her is the clear image of the skinny snowman, intent on getting its scarf back.
"What the f - " But that's cut off as Kiba starts running.
The fat snowman is chasing...us.
The rest of us Genin don't act, don't use any techniques - no, no that's for the smart ninja, us Genin - we scream bloody murder. I swear. Even Shino (his scream is rather high-pitched).
The six of us - screaming Shino, hysterical Chouji, Sakura, Kiba, Yumeki, and me - run as fast as our little legs can run. I'm aware of the excitement pounding through my body, I'm actually laughing though there's this murderous snowman chasing us - actually laughing, until -
Chouji trips. "AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" he yells as the snowman gains on him. We watch, open-mouthed.
The snowman runs to him -
and trips over Chouji.
His head falls off.
Bowl cut, huge eyebrows, spandex suit - wait...that's -
Gai-sensei the Snowman.
- 1:20 -
"Sorry, kids," Gai-sensei laughs awkwardly. We're crowded around a small fire that he managed to eke out of the snow. "Lee and I..."
"We were training!" Rock Lee grins, his eyes shining. "It was great! Except I couldn't see, so I thought Ino was a bloodthirsty murderous missing nin-murderer who was trying to kill me with muderous intent on his murderingness!"
"Yeah," mutters Shikamaru, his hair in a huge snowball (he must've fell several times), "that's what we thought you were."
"Me?" Rock Lee is geuinely shocked. "Why would I - ?"
"That's off-topic," chimes in TenTen, shivering. "Who in their sane mind would train in such a...weird...place?"
"In a snowman," clarifies Shino in his usual low voice. We stare at him, wondering how in the world could he have laughed so high.
"Well," grins Gai-sensei, sharing a look at Lee, "we are ninja and it is almost Springtime!"
Rock Lee scrunches his brows. "Yes, Gai-sensei! The fire of Springtime can shine down on us if we always train!"
Kiba growls, "You are idiots!"
They tear up. "We..."
The rest of us have deadly gleams in our eyes.
- 1:50 -
"Well..." yawns Naruto, "that was some good training."
Both of the green ninja have two black eyes and fat lips.
Sorry for all you serious readers out there!! Gomenasai! (cracks up)
But I had to get some steam off!! School is really going to my head. Thank you all for reviewing!
And it snowed! It actually snowed!
But nooooooooooo, no snow day. Anywhere ELSE an inch of snow probably is, but nooooooooooooooooooo. Not HERE.
Oh, and please review!! I'm not very good at humor, so get me on the right track or I'll be up by midnight singing carols and eating eggnog -
XD Lumberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry
