Hinata stared out the window, possibly more annoyed than she had been in the past six years of her life. Everybody else had left hours ago; their Sensei's already come and gone. They were the only ones left in the building. Naruto was busy trying to balance on a chair, so he could pull a trick on their new Sensei; something that screamed bad idea. Though neither she nor Sasuke attempt to stop him, Naruto would do it regardless.
She sat next to Sasuke, no point in keeping distance now that they had been placed on the same team, wondering if their Sensei would waste more of their time scolding Naruto. Sasuke scoffed at Naruto, who hopped off his chair and exclaimed loudly that their Sensei "deserved it" for being so late. While she believed in punctuality, this was past rude and nearing absurdity. The Hyuuga didn't allow such blatant disrespect, ever. Hinata sighed in relief when the door crept open, just to stare as the eraser smacked her new Sensei on the head. This is going to be such a test on my sanity, Hinata swore as Naruto busted up laughing.
"How can I put this….? Hmmmm….my first impression of you all is… I hate you." He deadpanned.
I wonder if Sasuke can feel the dread seeping through the air, Hinata wondered as they followed their new nameless Sensei to the roof, Really Iruka-Sensei balanced every team but ours. The strange blunt man, who they would trust to guide them leaned against the railing along the roof's edge, while Naruto sat down below the steps like a child, Sasuke sat on the top of the stairs; leaving Hinata few options. To stand would be awkward, but she felt like sitting on the stairs and childishly staring up at this man was insulting, she opted to crouch close to Sasuke.
"Okay, let's begin with some introductions." He started
"What do you want to know?" Naruto asked.
"Dreams for the future, hobbies, likes, stuff like that." He shrugged, like he didn't care.
"Hey, hey!" Naruto exclaimed, "Why don't you introduce yourself to us first? Like as an example or something'."
"Oh? Me….well, alright." He doesn't seem to take anything seriously, "My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you guys about my likes and dislikes. Dreams for the future….? Hmmmm…. Well, I have lots of hobbies.
Well, now it's your turn. You're up blondie."
Naruto grinned, "My name is Izumaki Naruto. I like cup ramen, and I like Ichiraku's ramen even better!" Does he think about anything besides ramen? Kakashi had to wonder, which wasn't too far from Hinata's thoughts, His hobby is trying different ramen? Really, doesn't he do anything besides eat ramen, and fight with Sasuke?
"My dream…" Naruto paused, "is to surpass Hokage! And then, all the people of this village will have to acknowledge my existence!"
So he does notice it, Hinata thought sadly, all the adults strange hatred of him. Kakashi gave a little nod, of what no one could be sure with that mask over his face, but Naruto got the hint and shut up and grinned. This is a little strange way of getting to know each other, Hinata wasn't sure it was going to work well.
"Next." Kakashi said bluntly.
Sasuke gave the smallest of sighs, that Hinata knew no one else was close enough to hear. It was one of the many habits they shared, whether he picked it up from her, or she picked it up from him; it never was easy to tell since they spent so much time together. It didn't matter either who started the habit, but they shared at least a half a dozen habits. Hinata wasn't sure, herself what she would say, but she had an idea of what Sasuke was about to say.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are very few things which I like, and lots of things that I dislike; listing them is pointless. My hobbies are none of your concern." Sasuke's hands shifted as he moved his elbows slightly forward, "I won't use the word "dream" since it will be a reality, but my ambition is to resurrect my clan and to kill a specific man."
Naruto seemed to stop moving for a moment, something Hinata hadn't thought was possible. Kakashi was amused that Naruto seemed to be thinking Sasuke meant him. Which wasn't likely, since Naruto wasn't a man, and Sasuke probably wouldn't think he would need to make it a life ambition to kill Naruto. He'd probably scoff at Naruto and taunt him about being dead last, something the Hokage said he did when Naruto challenged him. Though the Hokage had called it a friendly rivalry, either way he had expected some kind of answer like this from Sasuke. Kakashi raised his eyes to the Hyuuga girl; the unknown variable.
Hinata assumed since Kakashi was staring at her that was her cue. "My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I enjoy flower pressing and making salves. My hobbies are training and cooking." She paused. Hyuuga's never were people's people. She, herself, had been shy most her life. Talking to others never came easy for her. While it may have been bold of her to push her way into Sasuke's life; it was something she had to do once she found what she had. There was no way Hinata, shy or not, could have simply screamed and ran away. What she couldn't decide was if she wanted to open up to her odd little team. "My intent as heiress is to take my rightful place as Head of the Hyuuga Clan in the future."
Kakashi watched as Sasuke's eyes settled on the young Hyuuga girl, as if he could read her every unspoken word. Kakashi had been told by the Hokage that the Hyuuga's had taken the Uchiha in when he was little, Kakashi hadn't thought much about it, but now he wondered if there was more to it. From what Kakashi had understood, Sasuke was a loner. Didn't have any friends, didn't try to change that and didn't even seem to want friends; all Sasuke did was train and study. How did I end up with the only unbalanced team? Kakashi pondered for a moment, this must me Iruka's way of getting back at me for cleaning out in poker! Ah, well, this is going to be fun.
