Chapter 4 Teachers and Roses part 2
Once Hinata found herself a seat away from everybody yet still close enough to hear Gai launched into a very (annoying) youthful conversation about the power of youth to get eve bodies spirits up. Ironically only one person spirit was raised throughout the whole speech and it was just the clone of Gai, Rock Lee. Hinata rolled her eyes as she watched them shout each other's name back in forth while hugging. Her eyes danced around the room looking everything taking it all in. when she finished she looked back at Gai who at that moment just got done with his loud youth filled speech.
"Now class we are going to run around the gym until the end of the period show everybody your POWER OF YOUTH!" Gai said. Everybody except Hinata groaned as they stood up and prepared for their run. A girl with long light brown hair and light purple eyes saw Hinata didn't move and smirk as she raised her hands.
"This will get her from messing with my Naruto-kun." the girl thought.
"Yes Shion what is it?" Gai shouted.
"Well I was thinking that since everyone else was participating in this youthful exercise that the new girl Hinata should show her youthful side and do them as well." Shion asks while smiling. The smile o her face didn't last long as she turned to look at Hinata only to see the girl glaring at her that could make hell freeze over. If looks could kill, Shion suddenly felt scared but glared at her in return as not to show weakness. Hinata smiled as she glared at the girl who was about to make her do some work. The smile then widen as she found a way out of it.
"YOSH! THAT IS A GREAT IDEA SHION. HINATA SHOW EVERYBODY YOUR POWER OF YOUTH BY RUNNING LAPS WITH THEM." Gai screamed to the world. Hinata continued to smile and glare at Shion as she answered.
"I would Gai-sensei because I really want to show my powers of youth and turn into that beautiful rose you said I could be but I don't have a gym suit so if I do run I would get my clothes all sweaty and smelly. But I really want to show my powers of youth so is it okay if I just walk today?" Hinata ask. She looked away from Shion and turned to face Gai. Gai went into his pose and smiled.
"Of course you can walk today and until you get your gym suit I would not expect you to do that much." Gai shouted. Hinata nodded her head and her face went back to the emotionless mask she had up as she started walking around the gym as everyone passed her up.

Naruto and the gang watched the confrontation that had just happened. Sakura, Ino, and Tenten shook their heads as they caught on to what Shion was trying to do. They all ran in a group as they laughed.
"You would think she wouldn't mess with an ex delinquent." Ino said as they ran. Sakura Tenten nodded her head.
"Hey did you see the look she gave Shion?" Tenten added. Ino and Sakura nodded their heads.
"I would hate to be her at the moment." Ino replied.
"I would hate to be here ever." Sakura said. The others laughed and nodded their heads. At this time Naruto was with Neji and Sasuke talking to them. But unlike the girl conversation theirs was not about what just happened. Then again their really didn't have anything to converse about until Neji made something.
"You have a crush on her." he stated like it was nothing. And like everyone else who is accused of something out of the blue…he fell. Getting up quickly and dusting imaginary dirt off of him he looked over at Neji and Sasuke.
"What are you talking about I don't have a crush on her." Naruto told him. Sasuke shook his head.
"Then why do you keep talking to her?" he ask. Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"What she's new and a mystery I just want to know more about here. I mean that is how you make friends right?" Naruto countered as he started to speed up. Sasuke and Neji easily matched his speed.
"Yes but you continue to talk to her despite my warnings." the white eyed boy said. Naruto sighed.
"So I think she's interesting and want to know more about here and besides I'm an ex gang member she has nothing on me." Naruto told them while ginning. Neji and Sasuke shook their heads.
"From what I hear from Neji, the girl crazy and you're crazy for chasing after here." Sasuke spoke. Naruto glared at him.
"Ah shut up." he told them trying and failing miserably at ending the conversation.
"You can pursue her at your own risk Naruto but when it won't work. Never say I didn't warn you." Neji said then went over to the girls. Naruto turned to look at Sasuke who just shook his head and followed the Hyuuga boy. Naruto sighed and followed after them a little while later. He was almost there when someone touched him.
"Hey Naruto." Shion flirted while batting her eyelashes. Naruto mentally groan while smiling weakly at her.
"Hey Shion how's it going." Naruto asks laughing nervously.
"It's going good just yesterday mother gave me my allowance and took me to the story where I bought a lot of clothes anyway enough about that I was just wounding how everything was going with you." she ask running next to him.
"Oh well everything been going good." he said looking around. He saw his friends and pleaded them with his eyes to help him. They laughed and shook their heads. Shion nodded her head missing the look (And vibe) Naruto was giving.
"That's good so I was wounding if you wanted to watch a movie later with me?" she ask. Naruto mentally pleaded to every god out there and then some. And the gods he pleaded to felt generous answered his pleas. Though they only answered for their amusement.
"Hey Naruto." a quiet voice said from right beside him. He turned to his side and saw Hinata running nest to him with ease. Naruto slowed down and she did as well.
"Yeah." he asks while silently thanking her.
"I was wounding to you know a coffee shop that sells bubble tea Kurenai told me to she wanted to meet me in a coffee shop after school and me doing before thinking told her I know what she was talking about?" Hinata told him quietly yet Shion still heard her.
"Oh I heard that you knew Kurenai-sensei so how did you guys meet?" the light brown headed girl asks forgetting her earlier question to Naruto. Hinata was quiet as images of how she met Kurenai ran through her mind. Though no matter how much remembering that night caused her pain it never showed on her face. Her mask she had perfected years ago was perfect. When her mask was up no one could tell how she felt, no one but him that is.
"You're being noisy gossip girl." Hinata replied. Shion glared at her as Naruto tried hard to not show his amusement. Being who he was he didn't have to try that hard.
"What did you call me." she all but screeched at Hinata. Hinata shook her head.
"Now, now you're being very un youthful at the moment Shion. You have to embrace your power of youth before you become the thorny vine everyone sees you as", Hinata said the emotionless face she had made her sound serious.
"I think you got it wrong Hinata-chan, he said rose not thorny vine", Shion said with a smirk, happy to get one on the new girl. Hinata on the other hand shook her head.
"No I mean thorny vine. You see because a rose no matter the thorns and flaws it still have good qualities as well", Hinata said, "You on the other hand are a thorny vine there is nothing good about you. You hurt people and only do things you and only you will benefit from." Shion growled at her and stomped back to her friends.
"Thanks", Naruto said once she was gone. Hinata was quiet.
"Thant went differently then how I expected it to go." she said finally. Naruto raised a brow.
"And how did you expected it to go?" he ask. Hinata looked up at him.
"Differently", she answered. A sigh escape his lips as he nodded his head. Did he expect her to answer with a different answer than that?
"I was serious", she started suddenly, "I…I don't know the name of the place." Naruto eyes widen. Now that he wasn't expecting. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he answered her.
"The coffee shop you're referring to is Konoha Coffee." Naruto answered. Hinata nodded her head.
"Thanks", she replied before looking around, "It seems your friends want to talk to you." Naruto nodded his head.
"Talk to you later." he said, albeit it was more like a question. Hinata made a humming sound and nodded her head once. Naruto grinned at her and went over to his friends.
"So what were you and the new girl talking about", Ino ask once he got there. She was always one for information.
"Nothing she just saved me unlike a couple of people I know then she asks me about a certain coffee shop I told her and then came over here." Naruto answered like it was nothing. Sakura made a humming sound like she believed him while Tenten and Ino gave him a pointed look. Naruto shook his head and turned to see Sasuke and Neji looking away from him.
"Whatever." Naruto spoke and sped up to get away from his friends. They all laughed and ran to catch up with him. That didn't happen.

Hinata walked out of the school building and sighed. It would take some time for Kurenai to meet her at Konoha coffee so she headed over to the Hyuuga household to change her clothes. Once she got there she took a quick shower and change into a black hoodie and a pair of dark purple skinny jeans. Putting on her shoes she exited her room and left the house without talking to anyone. It took her a few minutes to find out where Konoha coffee was and once there she went inside looking for Kurenai. Finding her at the last booth in the shop she went over and sat down in front of her. Kurenai smiled at her and put the papers she was grading away.
"Hinata." Kurenai said once she saw her. Hinata nodded her head yet had no response to what she just spoke. Finding something to say she opened her mouth to speak.
"Kurenai-chan why did you move here and why do you work at Konoha high?" the lavender eyed girl asks. Kurenai let out a sigh.
"Well the thing was when you moved away it wasn't that long that I realized that the only thing that was keeping me in that neighborhood was you. So after a while I packed up and left. And since I was a teacher back there I thought that I could become one here and seeing as Konoha is one of the best school out there I thought I would be making some good pay teaching there", Kurenai said. Hinata nodded her head.
"Hey I'm going to get something to drink you want me to get you something", Hinata ask. Kurenai nodded her head but before she could give Hinata her order Hinata put her hand up.
"I already know what you want", she said. Kurenai laughed quietly as Hinata went up to the counter and ordered their drinks. When she got them she went back to her seat.
"Here", she said handing her the drink before sitting down with her own drink in her hand. Kurenai took a few sips from her tea before putting her drink on the table to watch Hinata.
"So tell me Hinata why are you here", the woman ask. Hinata raised a brow.
"You didn't here", Hinata ask calmly though she knew that wasn't what Kurenai meant.
"You mean about Hiashi being your father and how you're living with him. Yes I know that part but why did you come here now why not sooner?" Kurenai ask. Hinata sighed and picked up her drink, taking a few sips while she thought of a suitable answer.
"Mother sent me over to live with him. I think she thinks that I would act better or something", Hinata said finally settling for something close to the truth. Kurenai took another sip and nodded her head. What Hinata told her was probably true but there was more too it and she knew it.
"Is that it", Kurenai asks. Hinata looked down at her drink and started to roll it between her hands as she thought of a something to tell Kurenai that would quell her suspicions.
"Mother said that she couldn't handle me at the time being so she sent me to live with Hiashi", Hinata told her after a while.
"Well at least I'm not lying but I'm not telling the..." Hinata mussing was cut short when Kurenai grabbed her hands. Hinata looked at her friend and teacher while raising a brow.
"Hinata you're going to waste your drink if you keep doing that", Kurenai told her while letting go of her hands. Hinata nodded her head and took a sip before looking out the window. Looking away from the pointed look Kurenai was giving her. The woman was going to ask her. Hinata just knew it Kurenai was going to ask her.
"So how was your first meeting with Hiashi", Kurenai ask. Hinata groaned and put her head down on the table as her memory brought her back to the first time she saw Hiashi and her other family members.
Flashback
Hinata had just got back home from her friend house. She pulled her hood down and closed the door upon her entry. The house was silent except for the sounds of tears coming from the living room. Rolling her eyes Hinata went into the kitchen to pick up a water bottle for her and ice cream for her mother. When she couldn't find it she went into the living room. Her mother was in her pajamas on the couch with boxes of tissue around her. Her dark blue hair was all out of place and the missing ice cream container on the table in front of her. Hinata shifted to her other foot and bit her as she thought about how to comfort her mother. Seeing as she came up with nothing she just went over there and gave her a hug as she ask her what was wrong, the standard things to calming people down. Apparently her mother didn't know that and smack Hinata on the face before turning around to cry some more. Biting her lips again Hinata asks her mother again what was wrong.
"You're leaving me again", her mother shouted at her.
"You're sending me away again", Hinata wanted to say to her but held back. Her mother was the one who was upset. She had a duty to do to make sure her mother was alright.
"You're going to live with that bastard", her mother cried out. Hinata gave her another hug while frowning. That was a nice thing to say about the man she was sending her to live with.
"It's going to be okay mother", Hinata said while rubbing her mother back, "Everything is going to be okay." Her mother stopped crying and jumped up knocking the bowel of ice cream she had on her lap onto the floor. It was melted anyway.
"You're right", her mother said with a smile on her face, "Okay Hinata clean that stuff up then go pack your bag you have some walking to do so only pack things that you can carry over a long distance." Her mother then bounced her way up the stairs. Probably to go call some people and tell them about a party she's going to throw. Hinata said nothing as she went back into the kitchen to get the mop and mopped the floor. She then put the ice cream container in the sink to have it go down the drain and she washed the bowel and spoon. When she was done she went up stairs and into her room to pack a few clothes. Once she finished Hinata washed up and went to sleep since she had to leave early in the morning.
The next day Hinata was woken from her mother entered with a bang. Hinata washed up, put on some clothes, and grabbed her bag. She headed down the stairs and into the kitchen. Her mother was there sipping on some coffee. They said nothing to each other as Hinata made her something to eat before she left. Once Hinata finished eating she cleaned her mess up and stood by the door.
"See you later mother", she said as she opened the door.
"Yeah see you later", her mother called out before the door closed. Hinata walked down the street as people either moved out of her way or greeted her. She made a humming noise as she saw this. She had just crossed the street when her friend pulled up in her car.
"Get in the car Hinata", Kin said as she opened the door. Hinata got inside and put her book bag in the backseat. It was quiet as Kin drove quickly through the town to get out. Once out Kin slowed down so she wouldn't get pulled over and looked over at Hinata every now and then. Hinata although she was looking straight ahead knew that Kin was stealing looks at her.
"Yes", Hinata ask calmly. Not even a hint of worry was in her voice. Kin sighed.
"You look fine", she answered referring to yesterday. Hinata made a humming sound not knowing how to respond to that. They pulled up to a red light and Kin used that time to look over at Hinata.
"How can you stay calm all the time", the black haired teen asks. Hinata raised a brow.
"I'm not calm all the time just yesterday I was balling my eyes out", Hinata said. Kin looked away from her when the light turned green.
"And if I were you I would be crying too. But you're almost always calm how", Kin questioned. Hinata didn't answer. It wasn't because that she didn't know how, but that she didn't want to answer. They came up to the Hyuuga household and looked at it. It has big for one thing, and it was whitish lavender color. It was big and whitish lavender. Hinata glared at it as Kin gaped at it.
"You can drop me off here", Hinata started, "I could go from here." Kin gave her a look.
"Are you sure" she asks. Hinata nodded her head and opened the door once she stopped the car. She then ducked her head to look Kin in the eyes as she opened her mouth to speak.
"I'll come see you whenever I can okay", Hinata told her. Kin nodded her head.
"You better", Kin said then drove off. Hinata let out a sigh as she turned to face the house. Walked slowly with her bag on her shoulder she made it up to the door. Ringing the door bell and knocking on it three times. She then waited for someone to open the door. With a sigh Hinata turned around to watch the neighborhood.
"Yes can I help you." A voice brought Hinata back to facing the house. Hinata saw a woman looking down at her almost with a sneer. Right away Hinata knew that person was a snob and hated her.
"I'm here to see Hiashi", Hinata told her calmly, "So are you going to let me in or are you going to go get him." The woman looked her up and down then raised a brow.
"And what business do you have with him", she sneered at Hinata. Hinata sighed as she observes the woman.
"Because I'm his daughter", Hinata told her. The woman gave her a look.
"Sorry but you're a little too old to be Hanabi", the woman said. Hinata raised a brow.
"Who the hell is Hanabi", Hinata ask before shaking her head, "I just need to see Hiashi he would tell you." The woman snorted.
"And I should believe you why", she started, "Hiashi is a very busy man and I don't see someone of your status related in any way to his." Hinata narrowed her eyes a little as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a note.
"This is a letter that Hiashi sent to my mother telling her that he would be pleased to take me in now are you going to stand there and tell me that this is not his signature", Hinata said. All throughout her speech Hinata didn't raise her voice if it wasn't for the slight narrow of her eyes you wouldn't even know she was angry. The woman read the letter but said nothing. When she finished she gave Hinata another glare.
"It could simply be a fake but to ease your conscience I will go get Hiashi-sama and when he tell you to leave you will leave and also you shall address Hiashi-sama just at that", the woman said then left. Hinata let out a sigh when the woman closed the door on her and went to sit on the step. A few minutes later Hinata could hear the door opened and the woman say something about a deluded kid say that she was his daughter. Shaking her head Hinata stood up and faces the door.
"You are Hinata I presume", Hiashi ask. Hiashi was old with long black hair and white eyes he was wearing a formal kimono as he observed the girl in front of him. Hinata nodded her head and handed him the letter. She was on guard the moment he started looking at her. Hiashi read the letter and nodded his head.
"It's good to finally see you Hinata", he said with a small smile. Hinata rolled her eyes but said nothing. Hiashi moved out of the way so she could enter the house and when she did the door closed behind her
Flash Back Ends.
"It was okay", Hinata replied after a while. Kurenai nodded her head but had a feeling that it was a while before she actually saw Hiashi. Finishing up the rest of her drink, her expression turned serious.
"Hinata", she asks seriously, "Are you out?" Hinata nodded her head.
"Yeah I got out two years ago" Hinata replied. Kurenai nodded her head and smiled.
"Good", she said, "So how's Kin?" Hinata looked at her and smirked. They had told Kurenai about what they had done and every now and then Kurenai would help out.
"She's not moving any more", Hinata said, "At least not unless mother wanted to move out here I want Kin to keep an eye on her. And the letter I was writing in your class explains that…so I was wounding if you could drive me over there?"
