two - living the crash.
LIVING THE CRASH - I AM GIANT.
A/N; You already know who actually owns Naruto. So … yeah.
Lunch time. The best hour on a school day :D Hinata got her doughnut and pieces of fruit. She was picking apart the doughnut a putting it in her mouth piece by piece. She was deep in thought . Back to the conversation she had with Uchiha in English.
"Non-existent in my book. If I was to describe it in one word it would be … fail." Hinata smiled at Sasuke. "Wasn't expecting me to say that, huh? Well, what do you think about it?"
"Waste of time." Was all he replied with.
"Aw, true." This guy is goood. "Which means you're still keen on falling in and out." She assumed.
"No. If love doesn't exist. Then the bastard that made it up must have been a smart one if people everywhere think that they're in love." Sasuke smirked.
"Hn." Hinata frowned. "I like you, Uchiha. Don't look to much into it. I know I'm going to hate you sooner or later." With that the bell rang and Hinata left.
Hinata found the library half way through lunch and had a wonder around. The library was quiet as hardly any students were in there, but she did spot Sai. She smiled and kept walking. She was like that. Quite and alone. Until the accident and then things changed. When she began to shut people out. She shock the memory off. I'm never reliving that. Ever again. She pulled out her iPod touch and switched to a song that would block everything out
.You've got a lot to say, for the one that walked away.
I give you take, its the way it's always been.
Oh, how do i know? if i should stay or just go.
The bottom line is this way that I'll never know.
Stay with me. Stay with me ...
Hinata left the library and bumped into Kiba and Akamaru. They talked and laughed and shared interests. He was a very friendly guy and easily likeable. He asked Hinata about her life. Her experiences in New Zealand. No way. I'm not corrupting this kid's mind. He's too sweet.
"What city were you in?" Kiba asked. Curious kid he is. We walked into last period Geography and took our seats beside each other. She sat beside the window. Gai-Sensei was running a bit late so they just sat there and Hinata was wondering if she should change the subject.
"Christchurch." She muttered below her breath and then I heard him gasp. It was to be expected.
"So you were there when they had that massive earthquake last year … and in February?" You can't blame the kid. He was just curious.
"Can we just drop the subject, Kiba?" Hinata said harshly. The Gai-Sensei came in and began the lesson. Hinata tried to pay attention but she felt bad for the way she talked to Kiba. She ripped out a piece of paper from her book and scribbled down some words and a bunch of letters.
I'm sorry about before. Touchy subject.
She slid it over to Kiba who read it and smiled. He got his pen and scribbled back.
No. Dw. I brought it up.
Hinata read it over and she felt relief. She didn't want to make someone as sweet as Kiba not like her. He really seems like a guy you can trust. She sat through Geography thinking about how long this day is, and how there's more to come. Hinata frowned. The bell rang. Hinata and Kiba walked out and there was Neji waiting for her. Kiba and Hinata chatted about which way they lived and surprisingly, they lived on the same street. Hinata told Neji that she'd walk home with Kiba and Akamaru. The talked about a lot of things. Kiba's sister, Hana and his mother, Tsume. Kiba's a little short-tempered but he means well. They talked about a lot in the 30 minute walk home. When they were little. Hinata found Kiba to be sincere and cautious towards her feelings. She opened up to him about on her 3rd birthday she was kidnapped by villagers from outside of Konoha.
"I don't remember much. I just remember being in pain a lot. Seems like the only memory that stand out. You know some of Konoha's clans are real traditional? Well, that's sort of how the Hyuga clan is. Big on family and pride. There was this peace treaty shit that went down and it failed. So they kidnapped me. The Yamanaka clan has always been close to the Hyuga clan. That's how Ino and I became best friends. Then when I turned 7, I was sent to live with my mother's sister. You know, so they could straighten me up and turn me into an Heiress that's actually worth to be the next leader of The Hyuga Clan." Hinata smiled sadly.
"Do you think moving to New Zealand did any good?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah. I think so, I know that if I was never sent there then I wouldn't be the person I am today, but if I look back on the past event in Christchurch …" She trailed off.
Kiba was silent.
"Trust me, there are things I wish I could take back. Things I'm not proud of." Like, what happened before the September earthquake and the things I did before the February earthquake. Hinata sighed sadly. "A lot of lives would have been happier if I didn't move to New Zealand. I … did a lot of damage." Hinata said sadly. Then she smiled. "I had this ridiculous stutter and was very self-conscious. The stutter took a lot to get rid of, I was always shy and always stood behind someone. Everything was a threat to me. Then the earthquake … things happened … and I changed. Became more distant and angry and shallow. I just … stopped caring about the world."
Kiba wanted to ask what happened during the earthquake so badly but he didn't wasn't to pry. It must have taken a lot to tell him this. He didn't want to force out what she was trying to forget. She's broken. Kiba thought. He liked her. Not in the lovely feeling way, but in a way that friends like each other. He wanted to protect her. To be her friend. They stayed silent for the last 2 minutes of their walk home and parted ways saying a short and muttered farewell to each other. Kiba was honoured that she trusted him with her past.
Hinata walked into the Hyuga household to see Neji with his arms folded and a stern look on his face. Of course she didn't notice him. She just thought about how easy it was for her to tell Kiba all the things that she couldn't tell Ino or talk to Neji about. She was grateful that she has someone like that around. Maybe one day he'd be the one to hear about what happened during the 2 major Christchurch earthquakes from herself. It made her smile to know he'd be there. Neji saw her genuine smile and cleared her throat. Hinata's head snapped up to she Neji's stiff posture and stern look.
"Oh. Neji-nii-san. It's you." She muttered happily. She was in a daze.
"Hinata." Neji nodded towards her direction. He was leaning against the couch chair with his arms folded.
"Why so tense?" Hinata asked.
"Kiba Inuzuka. I don't like him. You shouldn't be hanging out with him." Neji plainly said
The nerve of this guy. "Neji, Kiba's cool. I think I have the right to choose my own friends." Hinata replied calmly. I don't blame him. He's be pretty protective since the kidnapping when I was 3. His father did wish him to work by the book. To protect the Hyuga heiress. "Neji, I don't mind you keeping a extra eye on me, but you aren't giving me any opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them. I don't butt into you and Tenten's relationship, despite the fact that I approve cos she's cute, funny, nice and really cool to be around." Hinata argued.
Neji huffed and knelt down in front of her. He had about a full head in height in her. He held her face in his hands and looked into her eyes with seriousness. "Hina-chan. I promised my father and your father that I would protect you. You're my little sister. (A/N; They're cousins. But they call each other brother and sister.) I love you. I can't let you get hurt." His eyes pleaded with her violet orbs. "Just promise me you'll be careful." Neji caressed her cheek with his thumb. Just like he used to when they were younger.
Hinata nodded. She trusted Neji the most in the world. He's the brother every younger sister would wish for. Loving, caring, protective, accepting. He was there for you when you needed him. Hinata might be a badass at school, since that was the only way to get people to not get so close, but at home she let her guard down and let everyone in. She trusted her family with all her heart and all her soul. She would kill just to know they were safe. Which they are.
"Good." Neji let go and stood up. Hinata doesn't really hug but she was feeling the moment. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek on his chest. He was taken by surprise but smiled and leaned into the hug wrapping his arms around her.
"I love you too, Nii-san." Hinata murmured against him. Her voice slightly muffled but his shirt.
"HINATA!" On cue, in came Hinabi. Her smile widening and she emerged from the stair case. Hinata and Neji let go of each other and Hinabi gave Hinata a big hug. She was excited about something else. Not just Hinata's presence.
"Why are you so happy?" Hinata smiled and asked.
"Am I not allowed to be excited to see my sister?" Hinabi replied.
"Who is he?" Hinata asked. The line Hinabi just said was somewhat the same thing Hinata said about Sam back in Christchurch … her first boyfriend. The good times of being 13.
"He?" Neji stared. He was going to kill. Hinata slapped him lightly. God, she was lucky to not have Neji around her puberty stages of raging hormones and sleeping with guys. He would have killed off every guy she ever tried to get close to.
"Konohamaru asked me out! Do you know how awesome that is! I have a crush on this guy for soooooo long! My first boyfriend!" Hinabi jumped up and down. Hinata was proud of her little sister. Her first boyfriend. Wow. They just grow up so fast.
Neji corrected Hinabi in his head. Kid. He's a freaking KID! For God's sake! No a guy just yet. He was fuming, but he was happy for her. A little young in his book but she needed to become more social. She feisty and aggressive but anti-social and is kept to herself. She's got someone in her life.
"That's great, little sister! Really is. Also, tell him if he ever hurts you, Neji will beat him up, and I will too. Introduce me at school tomorrow?" Hinata said softly. She found a strand of hair out of place on Hinabi's face and tucked it behind her ear.
Hinata's just like mom. Gentle and caring. She's both my sister and mother. Hinabi thought.
"When I'm older I want to be just like you, sister. I look up to you." Hinabi smiled the same smile Hinata has.
"When you're older … little sister, just be you. That's the best you can be."
Later on that night in Hinata's room Hinabi was fast asleep on one side of the double bed. Ever since she got back to Konoha from New Zealand Hinabi's been sleeping in her bed. Refusing to let go because she's scared that she'll wake up one morning and find her gone again. Hinata's the closest thing to a mother that Hinabi has. Hinata sat on her bed with her legs crossed whispering to Neji who was seated at the end of the bed.
"Ever since you've been back, she's been different. Less … troublesome." Neji smiled.
Hinata glanced at the sleeping Hyuga. How cute and innocent she looks in her sleep. "Yeah. Ever since mom died … " Hinata trailed off. "It must have been really hard to grow up without her. 2 guys in the house. Sister on the other side of the world. I failed her at helping through her childhood."
"No, Hina. It wasn't your decision to leave. The Clan that kidnapped you when you were 3 were planning another attack on you and the Hyuga. Uncle Hiashi couldn't take the risk of you being taken again. Uncle knew fair well that they wouldn't attempt to take me of Hinabi so it was you in his thoughts. He decided to leave you with your aunty. Then when your auntie informed you of your growth and ability to fight back, he made the decision for you to come back. If he didn't think you could look after yourself or defend yourself … if he didn't think I was capable of looking after your wellbeing, he wouldn't have let you come back, and it's good that you're back. If it wasn't for you. I would turn up to school tomorrow and threaten the lights out of that kid Hinabi's dating, then Hinabi, being the bitter person she is … or was. Would yell at me and most likely hit me. Although it would do no damage, it would hurt her. I don't want to do that to our little sister." Neji explained.
Who is this guy? Not bitter. Or mean. Or … a complete asshole. Hinata stared at the guy claiming to be her brother. He smiled, knowing what she was thinking.
"I've grown up a lot from the boy who used to think everyone was a loser and that he was the man. I developed a heart." Neji looked at the time. Quarter to 10. Neji sighed. Enjoying the quality time with his sister. He kissed her on the forehead and bid his farewell. Hinata drifted to sleep as Neji walked to his own room.
Meeting Hinabi's boyfriend … great.
