Chapter Five:
Don't Jump Out The Window
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
I ended my tirade quite suddenly, I needed to calm down.
Uchiha and Gaara stared at me as if I grew a new limb, to be particular, a head.
I looked down and blushed darkly, "I-I apologize…" I didn't sound sorry, my voice sounded spiteful.
Calm down.
Remember what happens if you don't…?
My body stiffened, remember what? I'm not going to remember anything!
Looking back up at the pair I spoke once more, this time however my voice was far more humble and held a hollow tone, "…i-it wasn't in m-my place to s-speak up against th-the both of you. I-I hope you ca-can except my d-deepest apo-apologies…"
I still didn't sound sorry.
I sounded broken and empty.
Gaara shrugged, but I could swear I saw amusement dance in his teal eyes.
The door slid open and the class quickly turned their attention away from the mini drama and to their waiting seats and sensei that had just entered.
My eyes slid to Uchiha briefly and my breath caught in my throat.
His expression…
Whatever I saw in his expression, I wasn't sure, and I probably never will know as his face quickly fell into his average apathetic look.
I turned my eyes away, I don't care. I won't care.
Never again.
The teacher cleared his throat, a slightly quizzical look on his face, "We have another transfer student…" he chewed on the tooth-pick in the corner of his mouth thoughtfully, "Please welcome Hyuuga Neji-san."
As if on cue the boy entered.
I looked at the window longingly, if only I could just… jump out… but alas, we're only on the second floor, and I wouldn't die from such a short fall.
Long, perfect hair that any girl would die for gleamed in the light as it swished behind him, calculating yet alluring violet eyes scanned the classroom, a enormous intimidating energy surrounded him.
This was Hyuuga Neji.
My cousin.
And the best assassin for hire out there.
I once again found my eyes drifting to the window I so longed to jump out of.
"…he will be here for the rest of the semester due to his parents business…" the teacher continued to drone on; I couldn't help but be slightly skeptical.
Oh he was definitely here on business.
Just not his parents' business.
I shifted closer to the window.
"Would you like to introduce yourself, Hyuuga-san?"
"No."
The teacher looked mildly annoyed but shrugged it off, "Any questions?"
A hand shot up.
"Are you in any way related to Hyuuga Hinata-san?" the student asking gestured briefly in my direction.
Grand…
He gave a twisted smile, something that I don't think anyone else realized was horrifyingly scary.
"Hai, she's my cousin."
Hang me. Someone please hang me.
Uchiha is looking at me. Either confused by the way I'm attempting to get to the window inconspicuously or surprised that I am related to the Hyuuga Neji.
Though I don't really know the guy, I've met him once when I was a child.
It's not a pleasant memory.
The boy detests most people and I am no exception.
A few more questions were directed towards him, most of which pertaining to his number and whether he was really male or not.
It was merely sick satisfaction for me to see his infuriated look at the meaningless questions, I'm not fond of him much either. The little I knew of him was what I had heard through the rumors.
Hyuuga Neji, the best soul crusher for hire.
Ruthless.
"Please have a seat Hyuuga-san. You can sit by… Uchiha-san." The teacher was about to demand Uchiha to raise his hand but Neji already found his seat.
Were they acquainted?
That would certainly be interesting.
I glanced over, Neji had turned to me and glared, I was going to gulp and sink in my chair. Maybe even finally hop out that window.
However, his glare was intercepted.
I blinked in surprise as Uchiha and Hyuuga exchanged dangerous stares, eyes narrowed and lips pursed in a permanent stoic look of distaste.
Did I miss something…?
After a few tension filled moments that made me freeze in my seat they looked away from each other, huffing indignantly.
…And I thought Gaara was anti-social…
When are my enemies gonna turn into social butterflies…? Now that would be amusing.
Glancing at Gaara, Neji and Uchiha I realized it was a lost cause.
I blinked, wait… Gaara…
Why was I grouping Gaara with my enemies…?
My gut churned and my eyes swerved to the boy who sat in front of me.
He had his usual strait posture, no obvious difference…
"You owe me."
The window was looking rather tempting once more.
I wet my lips; Gaara wasn't an enemy I wanted.
"You owe me."
The realization struck me quite suddenly.
I scribbled something quickly on the corner of my note paper, a single word, before passing it to Gaara.
He read it quickly, and looked back at me.
His glare has always been very intimidating but as nervous as I was it seemed all the more scary.
I gulped nervously as I awaited the verdict.
He passed the piece of paper back to me and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief upon reading his reply.
It was only then I noticed Uchiha reading the note over my shoulder.
Quickly crumpling it and shoving it into my pocket, I looked away from him.
Half of me was highly amused as I noticed his face contort in confusion and his lips mouth 'waffles?' out of the corner of my eye.
"In other news, Hyuuga Neji-san's cousin, Hyuuga Hanabi, will be showing up tomorrow."
My eyes widened and something dropped painfully in my gut.
"Wh-what?!"
It slipped out of my mouth before I had the chance to stop it.
The teacher raised an eyebrow before repeating himself.
Oh Kami no…
My eyes darted to the window and I almost staggered to my feet to really jump out this time when Uchiha-teme gripped my arm.
He was glaring as per usual but some… confusion(most certainly not concern), graced his stoic eyes.
I decided quickly to ignore him and instead sent a confused and horrified look to my fellow Hyuuga.
He looked at me as if I'd grown another head.
I bit my tongue, millions of phrases coming to mind and only one escaping my lips in a breathless whisper that I hoped no one heard…
"…but Hanabi's dead…"
The Uchiha shot his eyes towards mine.
He heard.
I looked away, facing the teacher and attempting to pay attention to his babbles about the Hyuuga and the risks it would be to pick on the heiress.
'Hanabi's the heiress…? What's going on…? Sh-she died…'
I gripped my chest in pain doubling over in my seat.
'They're all…'
I had to stop thinking.
I pounded my head lightly against the desk in hopes of giving myself of a concussion.
Sasuke, Gaara and Neji all stared at me like a fifth head had been grown.
Sensei eventually dropped the subject and started the lesson, his normal monotone droll filling the room.
'What's going on…?!'
The window once again assaulted my thoughts, I was itching to escape and make a run for it.
The Uchiha was staring at me though, searching for movement, curiosity flooding his normally apathetic eyes.
Anger filled me at that, how dare he be curious…? He has no right to know.
So much emotion… damn… I hate that stupid Uchiha…
I calmed myself down once more; I can't afford to gain emotions…
Letting out a deep breath I felt most of my energy leave me.
My eyes drifted closed, so tired…
He's glaring at me again. A lump came to my throat, he always did this… nervously I gripped the cloth of my top.
I wonder what he had against me…? I never did anything to him… alright, perhaps I had something to do with the whole 'ants in his pants' incident… but he was mean to me long before that. Besides, he didn't know that was me…
Wait… Did he?
Shrugging I decided to ignore him in favor of continuing my conversation with whoever I had been talking to.
His look always creeped me out, sure, a average person would just assume he hated you but something about it told me that wasn't the entire story…
His eyes didn't creep me out for the hate that shined when he looked at me.
They creeped me out because of the other emotion I refuse to place.
I woke up blearily to see Gaara shaking me awake.
"Schools over, come on we have to go home now." He looked annoyed, likely from the difficulty of waking me up, I'm a heavy sleeper.
I noticed everyone else was gone but Uchiha and Neji were still here… glaring at each other? Again?
I sighed, now if only they'd rip out each others throats and get it over with…
I cringed mentally at the thought; I'm getting more and more violent… I blame Uchiha.
I can't believe I slept through classes…
I went to reply to Gaara, "I-I apologize Ga-Gaara-san… d-demo…--" an idea flooded my mind and I smiled, "N-never mind! Le-let's go h-home!"
All three of them gawked at me.
They knew what business I had and why I had to go through with it…
…So why was I blatantly ignoring this fact…?
Because I wanted to.
"L-let's go G-Gaara-san! C-can w-we get M-McDonalds on th-the way home? P-please?" I was already exiting the classroom.
They stared. What, had I grown a sixth head now?
Neji cleared his throat and began to speak "I would like if you would show me around the school before you went home Hyuuga-san, would that be alright?" he was keeping up his act of normality still, despite the empty classroom.
I sent him a apologetic smile, my own acting skills coming into use, "N-no. I-I'm sorry. But I-I'm sure U-Uchiha-san here w-would adore to. H-he think y-you're very…" I almost laughed at what I was about to say, but this was for the sake of insulting both Uchiha and Neji.
A noble goal in my mind. At least at the moment.
"…c-cute."
Looking at their faces I had to wonder if I had been upgraded to seven heads…
"No, I would much prefer if you would Hyuuga-san." Neji replied, coughing awkwardly after getting over my seven heads…
Uchiha looked livid.
Dramatically, I had my eyes widen and quickly hid behind Garra, "G-Gaara-san! He-h-help! P-pale and cr-creepy l-likes incest!" I withheld from commenting on it being lesbian on top of being incestuous, no need to piss him off too much.
…just enough to make him lose concentration on his goal.
Uchiha choked, Gaara abstained from reacting and Neji growled in annoyance.
I think I officially grew an eighth head.
There was an awkward moment and I decided since I was to die anyway I would go out insulting the all too girlish man.
"I-it's even wo-worse s-since you are a g-girl too…"
I'm good at growing heads.
"That's it. Just die already." Neji said while retrieving his weapon and charging at me.
"H... hol... HOLY FLYING RAT FACED NINJA TURTLES!" I screamed while jumping out of the way.
…not my brightest of ideals…
I bumped my head on the wall that, as you should know by now, is rather close to my chair.
I crouched down and held my head, "O-owie…"
Neji ignored my complaint and started coming at me again.
Now, before I continue, I would like to make it clear that if a pissed beyond belief Hyuuga Neji was charging at you head on you would be panicking too.
When I'm in a difficult situation there's something I generally fall back on…
My secret weapon.
It was previously introduced against Uchiha earlier if you would recall.
I was really panicked! You must understand!
I was also crouched on the ground at the time.
I didn't know what else to do.
I couldn't shove it down his throat.
I ducked under him, plastic toy dagger in hand and quickly went through with the maneuver I was about to pull off.
Both Gaara and Uchiha winced; I had not just done that.
I couldn't see his face, but I imagine Neji's eyes were as wide as dinner plates.
Neji whirled around glaring at me, but the sudden movement had caused him immeasurable pain. It was then he realized I never had gotten to removing the piece of plastic from his buttocks.
I smiled nervously and did the one thing any other person who believed in self preservation would do.
I ran for my life.
"H-have a pl-pleasant e-evening H-Hyuuga-san!" I increased speed; I was most defiantly not going to wait for his reaction. He didn't even like me to begin with, imagine now…
I briefly wondered how Neji was gonna convince Uchiha or Gaara to remove the offending piece of plastic…
…if he tries to pull it out himself, not only would he fail, it would triple the pain.
Some days it just sucked to be Hyuuga Neji.
I felt a pang of guilt.
I stared; left eye twitching incessantly, at the door Hinata had just retreated out of.
She had not just done that…
Hearing Neji groan in pain I realized she actually had.
Neji cursed in every language he knew and tried to pull it out of his ass again.
…Wasn't that the same one she shoved down my throat yesterday…?
Oh Kami it is… I need mouth wash, now.
Gaara watched in morbid fascination as Neji cursed some more while giving in for a bit due to the immense pain he must be in.
I mean that must hurt.
I was almost wanted to help the poor guy. Almost.
I'd never been fond of him even though I only knew him through rumors.
He only knew me the same way.
I was again tempted to assist him as he cried out in pain.
But,at the moment I had more important matters to attend to, it wasn't dusk yet, there was no way Hinata could get off this easy.
((Ending Notes: Okay, before I continue, I must assure you that I love Neji as much as the next fan-girl…
…it was just convenient to torture him via writing. XD
I'm doing something new this chapter. I want fifteen reviews before I update the next chapter.
FIFTEEN.
I need a way of separating updates and waiting for the allotted amount of reviews to arrive is spontaneous enough for me and a definite dead-line.
Remember, I have somewhere between thirteen and fourteen more chapters already written, I don't want to post all my chapters in a horrifically short time span, I want to torment you guys the same way many authors have done to me X3
So remember, fifteen. FIFTEEN. 15. Fifteen. Fifteen!!
It may seem like I'm asking for a lot but I average 150 hits per chapter and I'd bet at very least fifty of them actually read it.
Yet I average six reviews per chapter.
I don't think I'm asking for much.
Okay, I'm done.
Good day to ya'll,
-Muse-chan.))
