Cheers Nya for the review it got me in the spirit to write. I have so many ideas now for this I just wanna write em all down and post post post! Here's the seventh chapter.

Chapter 7

"Ten ten?" "Here!" "Kiba" "Yo!" "Hinata?" "H-here." "Hidan?"..."Hidan!?"..."For the love of...can't you kids give me a break already. This is the tenth time this month." The teacher sighed, combing his hands through his thick unusually grey hair. The man simply leaned back into the chair and continued the register in his monotone voice. "Hey isn't that the guy from the party. You know the one who-" "yea. I hear this is the second time he's repeated this grade. He's like what 18?" "Woaw really? Man he must be pretty dumb." A few hushed snickers followed from the whispers. "And to think that Sasuke would go out with Hinata. I honestly didn't see that coming." "Really? Well she is kinda cute and I mean the size of her b-" the boy was overwhelmed by a sudden dread, he could feel the Uchiha's cold eyes bore through his very soul. He nervously smiled and swallowed the rest of his words. "Dood she's literally three desks away." The teen's friend nudged.

As close as she was, Hinata wasn't paying the slightest attention to their meaningless gossip but was engrossed in a world of her own. Something felt odd, like the girl had losses something very deer to her heart. Memories of the time herself and three Akatsuki messing around seemed all too distant like she was some old lady reminiscing on her childhood. One member in particular seemed to phase the girl. Hidan. Even though they had just spoken two days ago, she couldn't help but feel there was a barrier between them. That aside the hatred and even more so betrayal far exceeded the emptiness. How could he do that to her. "I'll look after you." Those words seemed to play over and over in her buzzing head.

A single tear trickled down her cheek. Slam! Hinata subconsciously bashed her fists on the table causing the entire class to stop in shock. The act was so alien to the girl's calm and shy nature that even Mr Hatake was lost for words. She abruptly stood up and muttered, "excuse me..." Then stormed out of the room. "Teacher." Sasuke asked, hand up. "Y..yes!...Sasuke?" "May I be excused." Without even thinking the response properly, Kakashi gave the ok.

"Hey." The Uchiha calmly sympathised placing a hand on the crying girl's shoulder. "What's on your mind?" "I-I...I!" "Just let it all out." He hushed bringing Hinata into a comforting embrace. She did just that, allowing her tears to soak into his soft grey jumper. He gave her some of his water then the two sat on the desks of an unoccupied classroom. "Better?" He smiled. "Better."

"You wanna talk about it?" "Mmm." She placed the plastic cup to the side then began twiddling her fingers. This always seemed to calm her nerves. Ever since she was a child she continued the habit. "I guess...I feel lonely. But i-it's strange because it seems I'm like this e...even when I'm around people. It's weird isn't it?" Sasuke took s moment to process her soft words then grinned, "no...I get what you mean. It's the same with my family. We've always been seen as this glamorous group of celebrities but in actual fact we have no bond. My brother is always patronising me over his job and my parents seem to pressure me to be his shadow."

Hinata looked to the ground, eyes relaxed but smile quivering. "It...must be nice...being with them. Even if they do act that way it's still better...then being away from them. My mother passed away when I was three so...I never even remembered her voice or what she looked like. My father refuses to let me see any photos, that's if he hasn't burnt them already. He prefers to pretend she wasn't there in the first place. Helps with the grief I guess. Hell...I haven't seen my cousin in five years, not that it bothers me. He'd always belittle me for not being as strong as my little sister. She's actually doing a degree in business at University even though she's only thirteen...and then there's me. The disappointing daughter who was sent half way across the world to try be as successful as her siblings."

"That's enough... you're not worthless. You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not. You're perfect the way you are." He hugged the Hyuga and gently stroked her soft silky hair. Even though her face was hidden he knew that she had a warm smile.

Later that day:

Even though hated the idea of it, the girl had no choice. Rent was due at the end of the week and she needed to work to earn in. And that meant spending five hours with "him." Hinata hesitated for a moment, took in a deep breath and pushed open those sticky doors. She staired at the stained carpet in an attempt to avoid the man's agonising gaze. She shuffled to the desk and mumbled a feint, "hello." "Hay." He replied. How could he be so...calm? She thought. Gradually, her eyes drifted up and she weakly smiled to break the obvious awkwardness. She noticed he had a few bruised, a swollen lip and his wrist was in a cast. "How you feeling?" She gained the courage to ask. "Oh I'm as right as rain!" He stated in a forced positive way. Immediately he regretted the words and apologised, "sorry I ah...didn't mean to say it like that."

This was going to be a long night and having no customers made the whole ordeal a lot worse. Irritated, Hidan finally addressed the elephant in the room. "Are you happy...with him?" He mumbled almost unsure weather to say it loud enough for her ears. "Yes." She quickly squeaked turning her head. "Where did you run off to? I-we were worried about you. And then all of a sudden you just up a kiss him then your "boyfriend" beats me up!"

Hinata had tried her very best to suppress the frustration building ever since that day. Despite this, her colleague's selfless remarks drove her insane. "No!" She screamed. "Y-you can't say that. It was YOU who abandoned me even though you promised me you'd look out for me. I was terrified. You weren't there for me but Sasuke was." Tears were now overflowing but her eyes held fury. "And you! You were the one who up and attacked him so of corse he'd fight back." "Why are you defending that prick? I don't get it. You can't just do THAT with someone you just met." "You do not control my life. And do you really want me to have to spell it out?" Hidan crosse his muscular arms all in a huff signalling for her to continue. "I love him!"

Something about those three words seemed to change Hidan. It was as if they were taboo. He opened his mouth to say something but Hinata got there first. "And I think you're just jealous because I fell in love with someone who used words over action." That word again. It wound him up. So much."And what's that supposed to mean?" "The way you look at me makes me s-so nervous and uncomfortable. The first time we met you in the bathroom when you j-just s..staired. And you always put me in these situations like after the shopping trip when you were all over me." "I was drunk! I went to put you on the couch and I guess I just fell asleep. I was looking after you." "Looking after me?! No. That's all you ever do. You just ditch me." "Then come hang out with us at the house. You could have come toda-" "what you mean ditch school? Unlike you I can't afford to do that. I don't have the luxury of missing class because unlike you, I want to pass my exams. I need to." "Exams, exams! There's more to life then what the school brands you as." "No...Hidan. I'm not you. If I don't live up to my father's expectations then the best chance at life I have is marrying into some family that I don't even get to choose."

"Well I'm so sorry that my life isn't as screwed up as yours. That I don't have a shitty dad or a mum who was forced to marry into a oh so "honourable" house hold, where life is all rules rules rules!" "...fu..y-y." "What?" Hidan mocked holding up his good arm to his ear. "I said FUCK YOU Hidan. I HATE YOU!" The pissed girl stormed out of the building, slamming the door so hard on her way out that the entire building shook.

Just keep em reviews coming. plz. ;)
