"G-Gaara... you better stay outside... Neji'll suspect something if you're with me..." he cocked an eyebrow. He shook his head and walked behind me.
"What will I suspect about Hinata-sama?" I jumped in fright and bit my lip... only thing I can say is... Shit!!
"N-neji-nii...." I said with a panicked look. Gaara chuckled.
"hey neji" I saw my cousin cock an eyebrow.
"Gaara... what are you doing here?" he said with a wary look. I sighed.
"I met your cousin today through a friend and offered her a ride" he narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, really...?" I nodded hastily with eyes closed as my heart beat way too fast. I was scared.
"Oh... Ino called me... you're going to her house?" I nodded with eyes open, a bit shocked that he didn't think I lied... I hope he didn't catch onto the lie...
"You should tell uncle, you know how he will react if his baby girl isn't here" I groaned. I forgot about the old man... Gaara leaned onto me when Neji was looking away and whispered "I thought you only had to tell your cousin" I rolled my eyes.
"I did too, sadly I forgot Dad came early this month due to my sisters birthday, so he's leaving the day after tomorrow..." I whispered back. Neji whipped his gaze back to us and Gaara almost stumbled when he drew away from me. I stifled my laughter.
"Y-yeah... I'll call him in a while. I just need to get to Ino's soon... you know- I promised her I-I'd arrive in half an hour" Neji stared at me with a poker face.
"Hm... okay, sure... I'll drive you, I don't like you riding motorcycles..." I panicked. WHAT?! He's driving me?!!! NO NONONONONONO! Not possible! I have to get to Gaara's not ... oh hell! I groaned making my cousin stare at me with eyebrows cocked.
"What's the groan about? I'm being nice" he said flashing a smile at me. I smiled back, knowing that his smiles were rare... I mean he only smiled at me and some close friends- though never a girl(not even my sister). Smiling at a girl was like... sacrilege for him! Yeah, that implies that I am the only girl he smiles at...- cheeks burn- shut up!
"E-eh... um" I bit my lips in hopes of finding a lie that was believable enough.
"She said she wanted to ride a bike, and you know... I never let an opportunity like that go to waste" he said with a smirk that made him fume.
"Gaara, lay one finger on Hinata and you won't live to see the light of day, correction, you won't live to see tomorrow!" I giggled.
"Neji-nii... onegai... I want to ride the bike..." he glared at Gaara.
"Hinata how exactly did you meet Gaara?" said curiously. I laughed nervously.
"Ino... she introduced us" he stayed quiet for a while and seemed like he was thinking for he was tapping his chin with his finger.
"Hinata... how did Ino introduce you two?" I panicked and turned to Gaara with a panicking expression. He coolly intervened.
"Go-kon" I slapped my forehead and stifled my urge to strangle Gaara. Does he think Neji will help us now?!
"Oh... Hinata... WHY IN THE FREAKING HELL DID YOU GO TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! Gaara did you touch her anywhere?! Kiss her?! Lay a finger on her?!" he smirked.
"No... but she did" I stared at him disbelievingly. Isn't he realizing he's making EVERYTHING worse?! Neji turned to me shocked.
"Tell me that's a lie" he pleaded. I nodded.
"I didn't!" he turned to me mischievously.
"Well... you did have your hands all over me I can still feel your fingers running down my stomach" he said wiggling his eyebrows. Something in my brain clicked. I knew what he meant. He was talking about when I had to hold onto him in the motorcycle! I glared at him.
"You told me to hold onto you!" Neji's gaze whipped towards me disbelievingly.
"So... he's saying the truth?!" I closed my eyes in despair.
"I meant holding him when we came here in the bike!" I said totally angered. Gaara turned to him.
"She says that now though" he said with a glint of teasing in his eyes. I almost killed Gaara right then.
"God dammit!" Now the two of them turned to me. Shoot I forgot I'm the little angel who doesn't cuss.
"Hinata" Neji warned in a low voice. I went to him and hugged him.
"Nii-san, it isn't like Gaara-san is saying... Ino's brother Deidara is a friend of Gaara-san's isn't he?" Gaara turned to me shocked.
"Deidara?" Gaara asked. Neji cocked an eyebrow.
"Uh?" Gaara nodded his head.
"Yeah, he's a friend of mine's so I was at their house" he said staring at me, slightly frowning.
"So Ino introduced me to him, and when we realized I hadn't packed she asked him, since her brother's car is at the mechanic, to drive me here. But I was too scared so in the drive here I didn't enjoy it at all, but I wanted to try it again- and he agreed" I sighed, its amazing how lying tires one out... Neji nodded.
"Gaara... where you lying all along?" he asked hopefully. I almost giggled at my cousin's expression of total and utter relief plus hope.
"Aw... Hinata! Why did you ruin my fun of teasing your cousin" I sighed. I knew he actually meant what he said.
"S-sorry" damn... that stutter always returns when I'm calm...!
"I'm glad... but it'll be hard to take the bags when you're on a motorcycle" I widened my eyes. I forgot about that. Gaara raised his eyebrows and seemed amused.
"I forgot about that... humph... I guess you'll have to accept your cousin's offer" I sighed.
"You didn't think about that?! You offered and you forgot?!" he smiled at me.
"Hey chill. Your cousin offered didn't he?" I shook my head.
"No, even if he did. Dammit! Ugh, I won't take much luggage either way, it doesn't matter" I said rubbing my temples. He chuckled.
"Sorry Neji, your cousin is pretty hard-headed, apparently" Neji sighed...
"If she says so there isn't much I can do about it" he said raising his hands in defeat. I smiled victoriously.
"I-I'll go and p-pack" they nodded.

I arrived at the foyer once again, with a bag slung over my shoulder and a medium suitcase that I would hold by holding onto Gaara's stomach. I would place the suitcase between the two of us. The two guys turned to me.
"Ready?" he asked. I nodded and walked to Neji-nii. He was sitting, his back facing me, I walked to him and leaned to his cheek and kissed him softly and stood up once again.
"I'll be back in a month" I said happily. He nodded but turned away. I wonder why. I heard Gaara chuckle and pull onto my hand, leading me to the entrance. I opened the door and walked outside where we opened the gate and I sat down on the bike. He sat down in front of me and I placed the suitcase between us. I felt the bike begin to shake; he had turned on the engine. I grasped tightly onto him and closed my eyes. Soon, without me noticing, we were at his house. He turned off the bike and took the key out. He got down first and then helped me get down; he grabbed the suitcase and took it himself, to the door. He pulled out his key and opened the door, once again grasping onto the suitcase and walking in.
I turned around and found Kiba and Naruto playing X-box- Naruto was winning. It was a soccer game. Itachi was sitting in the bar as he twirled some ice that was at the bottom of his empty glass. I walked inside, Gaara following behind me. I curiously peeked in the library and found Sasori reading and I heard a door unlocking. My eyes trailed to the second floor and the stairs, where I saw a door open and I saw a half-naked Sasuke with only a towel clinging limply to his hips and water droplets disappearing, when they went past his hips, down his towel. Gaara plopped the suitcase down and whistled. The guys all turned to us.
"Oh, you're here!" Itachi said with a smile. I giggled and nodded.
"Oi, Hinata, now that I remember, um... how did you know about Deidara?" I turned to him confused.
"He's Ino's brother, how did you know about him?"
"He's Itachi's and Sasori's friend" I nodded in understanding.
"You know... because of you guys I had to lie quite a bit..." I said with a pout. Kiba appeared behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Don't pout, it makes me want to kiss you" my eyes widened and I struggled out of his grasp.
"Kiba, stop harassing Hinata!" Naruto said as he walked towards us and pulled me out of his grasp. He smiled at me and extended his arm to me.
"Uh?" he chuckled.
"Mum told me to hand this to you" I stared at him and then at his hand, it held a new LG SD910 duo. I gasped.
"w-what is this?" he smiled.
"Your new phone. Mom told me to give it to you. I bought it yesterday... well... Itachi did. Now Itachi has my phone and I'll get a new one in a while. But this is your new phone" I shook my head.
"It isn't necessary, I have my own, don't worry" he cocked his eyebrow.
"I doubt your phone is as new as this one" I softly glared at him... or at least tried…
"hahaha, come on take it. Here, extend your arm... open your hand" he placed the cell phone softly in my hand. I giggled at the delicate way of placing it down. He smiled. "There we go... now come on, let me show you to the guest room" I nodded slightly, my cheeks ignited. He pulled my hand and Gaara sighed and followed us, still carrying the suitcase. "This is the room, look, you have a bathroom here, so... you don't have to bathe in our bath and feel stalked, this is your territory, we won't go in here... unless you allow us, that is" I nodded and walked in placing my bag down. Gaara entered as well and placed the suitcase before the closet.
"So, what do you think of the room?" I turned to look at him and smiled.
"It's beautiful" he smirked.
"I'm glad you like it" he said. "I'll be downstairs if you need me. Technically you don't need to baby sit us... just, cook and be here and it'll be okay" he said before walking out the door and closing it shut, softly. I turned to the bed and plopped down. So many things had happened that I was exhausted. I turned to look at my watch and stared at the blinking numbers. 18:58. I sighed and rolled around in the bed for a little while. I grabbed the SIM card and transferred it from my old cell phone to my new cell phone. I giggled a little remembering Naruto's insistence. A new message arrived. I opened the phone and saw the name Ino. I smiled. She sent me a photo picture- it was of her brother. I had to accept something. Since a year ago I've had a crush on Deidara... you can't blame me! The guy is so hot! And he is so sweet! And so silly! Almost like a little kid... I pouted. It was a picture of him asleep, though Ino had drawn on him a moustache and some swirls. He's her brother! She's so mean, though I know she's doing this to tease me. A small smile placed itself on my lips.
I stood up and, after erasing the picture, I went out the door. I walked down the stairs and stared at Itachi, the only one who was there. I supposed that Gaara was in the garage, Sasori in the library and Kiba and Naruto off playing somewhere else. Sasuke... who knows where he was. I walked to Itachi and sat beside him on the couch. He smirked at me.
"Hey" he said. I smiled and mumbled a 'hey' back. "So... how's it going?" I giggled.
"Fine, I guess" he smiled and weirdly scooted over towards me. I shrugged the fact off as my imagination and giggled.
"So what did your cousin say? Did he kill you?" I giggled even more.
"yep, he killed me- I'm just a ghost" I said while laughing. His smirk grew further.
"Oh, this is interesting. May I become your master and then become famous, I mean, many people would pay to see a real ghost" He said while smiling broadly. I couldn't contain my laughter.
"Oh sure" he cocked his eyebrows.
"Oh, really? So... now I'm your master?" I giggled at his teasing and nodded.
"I suppose so, Goshūjin(master)-sama" I thought I caught a glint of some strange emotion in his eyes and turned to the kitchen where I heard some arguing. I did as to stand up but I was soon pulled down, I turned around to find myself on Itachi's lap as I felt his lips on my neck. I squealed(in panic!!! don't misunderstand you perverts!) and soon Kiba and Naruto came out the door. They were shocked to find me on Itachi's lap and they didn't even move. I struggled to get free, but Itachi's grip was too strong.
"Now, now, why aren't you a good servant and stay still" I shook my head with closed eyes until I felt a rough pull and I crashed against a hard and well toned body. I opened my eyes slowly, praying that it wasn't Itachi and found instead Sasuke. I blinked.
"Sasuke-san" I whispered, he barely even spared a glance at me and glared at Itachi.
"She's our baby sitter, whether you like it or not, you know Itachi? So if you begin to put the moves on her she'll freak and leave. I'm already warning you, leave her alone. If you're horny go and call one of your many girlfriends" I stared shocked at the almost identical brothers. Itachi pouted.
"You're younger than me but you're a hell of a lot more bossy. I don't want to call one of my girlfriends; it'll just make them more insane. I want fresh meat" he said while staring at me. I unconsciously flinched and hid behind Sasuke, avoiding Itachi's gaze.
"Dobes, wake the fuck up" he said while dangerously glaring at Kiba and Naruto. "Itachi, I'm warning you, if she leaves I'll kick your ass down to Australia- and trust me it won't be nice. You" he spat this while looking in my direction. "Come with me" I blinked but nodded.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"U-um... arigato Sasuke-san" he turned to me with a cold stare. I finally had remembered I had to thank him from preventing me from getting raped.
"What ever. What school do you go to?" I cocked an eyebrow.
"Sakura high?" he stared at me, frowning.
"You're a freshman?" I shook my head.
"Senior" he widened his eyes.
"How old are you?" I pouted.
"Didn't they ever tell you not to ask a girl their age or their weight?" he stared at me stoically. I sighed. "I'm 15..." he cocked an eyebrow.
"I'm eighteen and I'm a senior... what the" I giggled.
"I skipped a few years, due to my tutoring" he nodded.
"Um.. sorry about my brother... you know... he's like that" I giggled.
"It's fine, it shocked me but I'm fine now, though thank you for saving me" I thought my mind was playing tricks on me… he smiled. He smiled, like a true smile, though it was for a fraction of a second.
"You'll do me a favour"… is it me or did that sound awfully like an order?
"Um.. you meant 'would you do me a favour' right?" I asked with a smile in place. He shook his head with an eyebrow cocked.
"I meant it as an order. You will do me a favour. I'm sick of fan girls and when I say sick I mean tired and about to kill the next one that throws herself at me- so you'll be my pseudo girlfriend" I shook my head.
"Nope- I refuse." he now raised both his eyebrows.
"Haha, sweet girl… there's no refusing… it's whether accepting or... um... accepting! It'll just be at school at breaks and walking to school will be with the guys as well. Mainly there will be some 'physical contact' but nothing out of the ordinary" he said with an amazingly cold tone. "Now… please take care of me!" he said with a wide smile and sweet tone. I shuddered. What's wrong with these people!!!!!! Ugh! NO… Hinata… if you've taken care of the Inukai triplets then you can handle anything. These guys are nothing compared to those little Tasmania demons. I took out my old cell phone and turned it on, I'm glad it still has its outer memory. I stared at the picture. Three small kids where showing the 'V' sign as they kissed me, one on my head, and the other two on my cheeks.
"God… this will be a long month… ugh!" I plopped down on a bench outside the house, in a corridor after the entrance. The bench was really pretty as it lay under a full-bloomed sakura tree. I took one of the falling petals in my hand and inhaled its sweet scent.
"It's so beautiful..." I muttered softly as I kept the petal in my hand.
"Maybe so but I want to cut down it" I heard Naruto's voice say. I turned to him, startled. He chuckled. "Sorry for startling you…" I turned to the floor, completely upset.
"Why would you cut it down... it's beautiful… it's responding to your love and cares" I said with a soft voice, slightly hinted with anger. He shuffled around.
"I… I grew it so it'd remember me of a girl" I widened my eyes. I never expected Naruto-san to be the romantic type, far from what I expected.
"Ah!" I mumbled out.
"She is... she's a murderer… so it's over. I don't want to remember her ever again" I widened my eyes.
"Naruto-san" he glared at me.
"DO NOT ASK. That's an order" I pouted. What's up with these guys and ordering me around!! That's thoroughly annoying!! "What??" I widened my eyes. I swore that I said that mentally! Not aloud!! I blushed furiously.
"eeeehmmm… nothing?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"I'm not deaf you know…" I sighed.
"then why do you ask what?" I asked annoyed. He chuckled.
"Fiesty- interesting. Well talk to you soon…" I almost searched for a wall to bang my head against.
"Godddddd….!!" I kneeled down and sighed. "Why me?!!!" I felt my new phone vibrate and I opened it. "Hello?"
"Hinata?" I sighed.
"Yeah Sakura?" I said with a slight hint of annoyance in my voice. She giggled.
"What's up?" I frowned.
"not much… why are you calling me?" she giggled once again.
"Well… you see I kinda need you to tell Neji that I already spoke to you and that I need him to explain the subject to me" I sighed.
"Why?"
"Well… you see he's a hottie and I need him tutoring me"
"Sakura I don't think he'll tutor you- he didn't even tutor his ex, Tenten, so why would he tutor you?" I heard her snap her bubblegum.
"Well duh! because I'm way prettier!" I rolled my eyes.
"Sorry- he's busy. Nice talking to you… bye!" I hung up. I turned to the clock and it was 7:56. I walked inside the house to find Sasori sitting with Itachi and Deidara. I widened my eyes.
"Oh, Deidara this is our mother's new choice for a babysitter" I saw Deidara turn towards me and widen his eyes aswell.
"Nata-chan" he said as he stared at me. I waved shyly and walked towards him.
"Do you two know each other?" I mumbled some inaudible things.
"Yes… she's my little sister's best friend" he said as he stood up and hugged me, kissing me on the cheek. I blushed feverishly and drew away from him.
"Um! I'm.. kind of sick so I don't want to pass it on to you… I'll… I'll go lay down… nice to see you again!!" I ran upstairs and closed the door. I plopped down on the bed and got underneath the covers. I slowly drifted off to sleep….
-to be continued-
