One of the Guys
Author Note: Sorry for the late update I have been dealing with school and sharing my laptop with my stupid brother and on top of that I am getting sick. Great, right before Summer Vacation…but I'll rant about that at the end until then here is Chapter 4!
Chapter 4 – Skirts of Sorts

Hinata coughed in hopes, possibly her heart would start again. The red head stood and yawned. "Where have you been?"
She rolled her eyes. She almost forgot this was Gaara.
"Minding my own business," She stared into his eyes. "Why do you even care?"
He yawned again and pulled out a small bag. "Do you want to smoke this with me?"
She frowned. "I'm quitting"
His smirk grew into a full smile that then transformed into a chuckle. His shoulder started to shake as did his blood colored hair. He was laughing and very full, very deep laugh. A blush almost rose to her face. She growled at him. He stepped back and sighed. "That was a funny joke, Hinata"
She bit her lip. "I am NOT joking."
His face turned into his normal scowl. "Look, this whole grudge you are holding against those idiots is stupid and very shallow of you. Forgive them so we can move on with life."
"I…have." She lied.
He stepped up to her. "You haven't. You can't just drop us. You can't drop me. We are friends and we will continue to be friends." He grabbed her wrist. She stared at him for a moment. She wanted to… She wanted to forget it happened but maybe it was time for her to grow out of this "phase" her father so much thought she was going through.
"It's time for me to grow up, and I can't do that trying to fit in with you guys." She tried pulling away.
He frowned more than she had ever saw Gaara frown. "So we are holding you back from growing up?" He dropped her wrists like they were snakes.
She pressed her lips. "I… No-"
He raised his hand. "That's what you just said Hinata, we are holding you back?" He shook his head. "You get caught sleeping with SASUKE and WE are holding you back from growing up? Hell, we helped you grow up if anything!" He fumed.
How dare she say something like that? Who was there when she was lost her mother? They were. Who protected her? They did. Who helped her become strong? They did. She says they were holding HER back?
She sighed. "Look I-"
He turned. "No, by all means Hinata," He threw his hands up. "Grow the fuck up." He walked off and into rode off on his skateboard.
She clutched her chest. She opened the door and her father was standing in the kitchen drinking his late night coffee. "Hinata?"
She frowned. "Father…"
He held the bridge of his nose. "Look at those clothes Hinata, I swear is it so hard to be normal?"
She sat at the island and watched Hanabi dig into her food so she didn't have to be in the conversation. "Yeah, normal people suck" She grabbed an apple.
He sighed. "Your mother…"
"My mother this and my mother that. My mother would love me that way I am."
"And I don't?"
Hinata bit into her apple. "Like Hell."
"Hinata!" He growled. "You will not use that kind of language in my house!"
She stood. "Oh sorry, daddy… I will be a good little girl, and wear girly clothes, and do my hair and wear makeup and even put on heels!" She smiled. "I'll be the perfect little girl." She giggled. "But hey, Hanabi does all of that… she doesn't get a present."
He frowned. "Go to your room."
She curtsied. "Yes daddy!" She patted Hanabi on the head. "Don't you just love our daddy, Hana-chan?" She went upstairs slamming the door in the process. She walked to her bed and sat at the end staring at the mirror. She picked up her phone. "Ino…" She waited for the blonde to calm down. "I'm ready now…"

"You don't know how happy I was to hear this from you!" Ino said pulling her hair in a ponytail.
"Me too!" Sakura giggled pulling her clothes out of her closet and stuffing them in a huge black bag. "We need to go shopping like quickly! I am so happy summer is coming up so now we can give you a tutorial on what you have been missing for the past eleven years!"
Hinata just sat on her bed, hugging her pillow to her chest. Ino turned. "Babe, what's wrong?"
Her eyes were glossy and poured over with tears. "I… t-talked to Gaara…"
"HINATA!"
She shook her head. "He came over! I was so…cold to him. He… told me to grow up" She cried into her pillow. They hugged her. She cried harder. She broke up with her best friends now. Kiba…Naruto…Gaara… and Sasuke. She had left him cold turkey.
She hadn't spoken to him since that night. She wiped her eyes and laughed. "Do whatever you want with me."
The girls smiled. "We are going to make you feel so much better!"

2 Months Later - July
Naruto groaned and fell on the floor. "Life is boring!" He yelled. Sasuke flipped through the channels. It had been two months and Hinata managed to slip off the face of the planet. She didn't return any calls, text messages. Sasuke had even went far enough make a Twitter and Facebook. She never accepted his friend request, didn't follow him back and set her profile to private.
He gave up in seven weeks, she didn't want to talk. So be it. He stopped caring. He didn't like her nor loved her. As of now, she was nothing short of a bitch in his book. How could someone so close to you, your best friend just up and leave LIKE Gaara. That douche went to Suna for the summer and didn't tell them until the end of June. He was too busy spending every waking moment with his fiancée.
It was just Naruto, Kiba and him to be left in Konoha. At least he could stand Gaara but these two…
"We can start looking for a new drummer?" Kiba spoke up. He scratched his head.
Naruto sat up and looked over at Sasuke. They haven't spoken of the band since Hinata left. Sasuke tapped on the remote before letting his eyes land on the blond in front of him. "Yeah… spread the word." He stood up.
"Where are you going?"
He looked back. "To get the notebook, I had a song in mind."
.
They spent the next few weeks searching for a new member. It all came back to how they weren't good enough. Sasuke sat down inside the food court in the mall.
"Okay, so I've been thinking Sasuke!" The happy girl giggled from in front of him. Her hair was strikingly white, her skin was tan and eyes were dark blue. She was exotic and the complete opposite of someone he didn't enjoy thinking about. "For our two month anniversary we should…" She smiled.
He sighed. "Break up."
She coughed. "W-what?"
He leaned up. "Yeah, it's been fun but I'm bored."
"Sasuke, you must be sick. It's me, your Kikyo-chan!" She pointed to herself.
He smirked. "No, you must be deaf…or blind. I am dumping you."
She shook her head. "But I love you…"
He stood. "That's cool. See you." With that he walked away. He went back to his playboy ways but it was always easier this way. He raised his eyebrow at the new clothing store that appeared. He was at this mall at least five hours every weekend, there was no way this… Ninja-Ground Station popped up.
"Got dammit!" A girl yelled bending to pick the "Grand Opening" sign. He smirked. Her hair was navy at the top and faded into a black until it ending at her shoulders. Her shirt was tight and showed her tattoo that he couldn't quite make out. She stood and her body was perfect. She had on Combat boots, shear stocking that made her legs look amazing. The tight shorts she had on made his eyes linger on her butt how it curved into the small of her back.
He bit his lip. New target. He walked over. "I'll help." She froze and turned and that's when he knew why. Big lavender eyes stared back at him. He stepped back. She wasn't wearing any wrappings and she had on makeup, not a lot just enough for her eyes to look even more intoxicating and her lip gloss made her lips look even more full.
"…I" She stammered.
"Hinata…" He started.
"Hinata would you come in? How long does it take to put on a sign?" Her boss smiled at her. His hair was long and blonde. He looked a lot like Ino.
She smiled. "Sorry Deidara-san your tape sucks!" She turned back to a stunned Sasuke. "Bye…"
He grabbed her arm. "Hinata…"
She smiled and tore out of his grip. "I said bye." She went in the store. He coughed and left the building. He had to tell the guys!
.
.

"Stop lying, you fucking liar!" They yelled even Gaara on the phone.
Sasuke nodded. "Hinata…" He sighed. "Is a girl…"

Author Note: Finally we get to the good part of the story! OH, before I forget tell me ina review on what song you think will be good for the next chapter! Thanks for all the reviews and stuff. Keep it coming! I have a bad cold but I was determined to finish this chapter. Haha, a fun tidbit for you: Every time I yawn, I make whoever is talking yawn. So every time you see the word yawn randomly in my story it's probably because I was yawning at that moment. We end school in two days and after that Updating Galore until then REVIEW!
