Thank you for reading my story :D And I really send a extra thank you to those who review!
The Kings Game
Chappa 3!
They drove to his house. He had a Dodge Charger Mopar. It fitted his image. She had seen it when she was over at his house yesterday too, in his houses driveway.
Though she still wasn't sure why he asked her to come over. She remembered how he asked her.
Her had told her to wait by his car. He needed to do something real quick.
During that time Ino and Sakura had stopped by, and swarmed her questions. But she didn't really have any answers to them, she didn't know the reason why she was going to his house either. Once Ino was done, cause her questions weren't getting any answer, she dragged away Sakura who begged Hinata to let her come with.
Neji, Lee, and TenTen came to talk. Lee was crying with joy to know that the two were still going through with the dare, and didn't back out again. Neji was telling her that if she wanted he could take her home right now instead, or said he could come with if she didn't feel safe. TenTen dragged the two boys away.
Naruto came and joked with her, saying that if Sasuke did something, he'd beat him up. Which made Hinata blush, and secretly made her happy. Not about Sasuke getting beat up, but about him protecting her if anything happened. Finally he left. She was kinda sad that he did though.
Then Sasuke came, and when he came, his hand was wrapped in bandages. He must've been at the nurse. When she asked him what happen, he said that during basket ball he hurt his hand a little but it wasn't bad. But when Lee had tossed her at him, she had accidentally hit his hand before catching her in his arms, that made it worse. It didn't immediately hurt at first, but by the time they were about to leave the gym, it was painful. She felt bad, and bowed a bunch of times while apologizing.
Then he drove them to his home, she offered to drive, but he said it was okay. He drove with one hand
She snapped out of thought once she heard him slam his car door. They walked up the house, and he opened the door.
He tossed his bag on the couch, and went straight to the kitchen.
"You can put your stuff down there too." He said from the kitchen.
She did what was instructed, then slowly headed over to the kitchen. He was eating a snack.
"Do you want anything?"
"No, It's oka-"
"I have pudding."
Her ears perked up. "Okay. I'll have a little bit."
He gave a small barely noticeable smirk at her sudden change of heart. He wasn't a fan of sweets, yet there was a stash of them in his fridge. When Naruto came over sometimes he'd bring sweet treats and store them in his fridge, and eat them when he came over. Other time he would stash things like cake mix or brownie mix or anything baking mix he didn't like in the cabinets. Then he'd invite Sakura over for her to bake them. It was all stupid.
Well, he knew the reason Naruto did it. To see Sakura. Sakura wouldn't come for Naruto if he called, but if he called saying he was at Sasuke's, then she'd come, and if he told her that Sasuke wanted cupcakes. She'd make 'em. Then Sasuke would refuse them, while Naruto would indulge in sweets made by his lovely Sakura-chan.
They sat at the kitchen counter on tall stools in the middle of the kitchen. Hinata's tongue loved the taste of the sweet pudding. She was shocked Sasuke would have these sorts of thing in his house. She never though he might've like sweets. Can't judge a book by its cover.
Sasuke just watched her eat. She just looked so happy. He wondered if the pudding that Naruto got from the convenience store was that good.
Mmm! She wasn't gonna lie, the pudding was making her happy . Boy, she was gonna have a major sweet tooth.
"I never told you why I asked you to come."
She snapped out of her trance, and paid attention to him.
"I need you to help to take care of my parents memorial."
She completely forgot about the loveliness of the pudding. The clock ticking seemed really loud.
She remembered hearing about his parents death in the news. Assasination.
"I clean it, and change the flowers every month. I was going to do it today, but," he lifted up his hand, "I'm injured. I could've asked Naruto, but he'd just do something stupid to mess it up-"
"I'll do it!" She said a louder than she though he would've.
He looked at her, kind of shocked. Then he put on a small smile.
"Thanks.
Hinata finished changing the flowers in the vase, and shining the marble headstones with his parents names on it. His parents were buried in a cemetery. This wasn't the house they originally lived in either. Sasuke's parents were killed in the first house he lived in, he moved into this house after that. He couldn't live in the house, his parents were murdered in. He got this house with the money his parents left him, he's even been living on the money his parents had left him. They used to be rich. His father owned a bank, and his mother was a nurse.
He walked up behind her, and looked down at the memorial. She stood up.
"I'm done."
"Thanks," he said. "You can get something to eat in the fridge if you want." He paused. "I'm gonna stay out here for a bit."
She figured he was going to stay, and pray for a moment. So she went inside the house. It must've been horrible going through that. He must've felt like no one understood him.
'He's lucky to have Naruto,' she thought. He was lucky to have friends who cared about him, they must've been the only way he stayed sane.
'I wanna do something.' She felt determined. She wanted to do something to get his mind off of it. Something that would make him happy. What would make a boy happy? Food?
'I could bake him something,' she thought.
His house had a bunch of sweets in it! He must like baked goods!
She walked back into the kitchen, hopefully he wouldn't mind her using it!
She looked in the cabinets. And she immediately saw it.
CINNAMON ROLLS.
She could make cinnamon rolls!
Okay, yes, they were her favorite. She liked pudding, but BOY DID SHE LOVE CINNAMON BUNS. She figured since they made her happy, they would make him happy too! Plus they were her specialty to bake.
She took out the mix and some ingredients from the fridge. She promised to buy him more later. She liked baking, and she knew she was a pretty good baker, so she knew they wouldn't come out bad.
She made the dough, kneaded the dough, let the dough rise, rolled out the dough, sprinkled the cinnamon sugar out on it, then rolled it back up, and sliced it and placed them spaced out on the tray. Finally she put it in the oven.
She felt like she accomplished something! Then she spotted a candle on the window seal above the sink. There was a small blue velvet curtain that hung above it. The scent was 'Vanilla Bean Noel'.
She thought it'd be nice if the kitchen smelt like it. She lit the candle.
Its glow looked so pretty.
She remembered she had to put the unused ingredients away, and clean up the counter. Once she was done, she turned around..
"WAAA!"
If was the first noise that she could produce.
The blue velvet curtains were on fire!
THE CANDLE LIT THE BLUE VELVET CURTAIN ON FIRE!
'I have to put it out! I have to put it out!' She screamed in her heard, trying to not panic. She took a cup from the cabinet, and filled it was water. She threw the water at the curtain, but it didn't go out. I spread to the wall.
'NO!'
She kept running back from the sink to the curtain, splashing water, but it wasn't working.
It wasn't working, what could she do-
A huge amount of water splashed on the wall, and curtain and wall.
Sasuke had put out the fire. When he had heard her scream from outside, he ran back in.
"What happened?"
Hinata was trembling a little, but froze when he spoke. She slowly turning around, she looked like a guilty child, she had the most apologetic face he'd ever seen.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" She continuously bowed while apologizing over and over.
He scratched the back of his head, and looked up at the burnt wall and curtain. How the hell did she manage to do that? He could paint over the wall but… the curtain.
"Were the curtains important to you?"
He was surprised she asked that question. I mean, who would ask? It wasn't exactly a normal question to ask. But yeah, they did have some kind of meaning, but he didn't wanna say it. He looked away.
She felt even more horrible when he looked away! So they did! She only questioned him because her kitchen had a set up similar to his, and the curtain that hung it theres used to be here grandmothers, and they got it when she died! Her mother really liked her grandmothers curtain, so they put them up, and never took them down, even when her mother died. They had a little bit of a sentimental value. Such meaning can be in a useless piece of cloth.
"Please tell me!"
He did a small sigh. He looked at her, then looked away.
"They were a present to my mother and father… on the… day of their wedding.
He didn't wanna tell her. He knew she'd feel bad. When they got the house, he put them up, cause they were hung in the house he used to live in when they were alive.
He looked at her.
She looked like she was about to bust out the waterworks.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Her continuously bowed again.
"It's okay, it's just curtains anyway." He tried to calm her down.
"No! They were your parents wedding gift! I have to repay you. I have to do something! I ruined your-"
Ding!
The stove had dinged.
He raised an eyebrow. "You were baking something."
"Uh, yeah!" She went over to the oven, and brought out the tray of cinnamon rolls. "I thought I'd make them for you! You seemed sad before."
He stared at the tray, as she put it on the counter. She got a knife, and frosting from the fridge, and put the frosting on the cinnamon rolls real quick. The icing quickly melted on the cinnamon rolls.
She held one out for him. "Here!"
She did this… for him?
Sasuke didn't like sweets.
He took it, and bit into it. It was nice, and warm. He was sure if he liked sweets he would've loved them.
She stared at him, kind of hoping for a reaction.
"It's good." Even though he said it kind of blunt. She showed satisfaction.
Even though he ate one, could he eat the rest? Maybe he'll get Naruto to eat them.
"Could you put them in the fridge. I'll save some for later."
She nodded. As she put them in the fridge, he got up and took down the curtain. He'd need new ones.
And he's need to buy paint. He analyzed the wall, they could use a lighter color. Maybe he'd change them. Now the his wall was burnt, he needed to paint them over, why not repaint the whole kitchen? The dark color was too depressing anyway. But usually when he decided he'd go looking for paint for any walls in the house… he just get another dark color. Maybe he was just accustomed to it.
"Sasuke-kun," He turned around. "It's dark out, so I should head home now."
He nodded, and she walked out of the kitchen into the living, picked up her bag and headed for the door.
"Wait."
She looked back.
"I'll drive you home. Its dark out." He walked into the living room, and picked up his keys from off the couch.
"No, it's okay-"
"Its real dark. It dangerous at night." He walked past her, opened the door, and held it open for her.
She didn't wanna be a burden, but had a feeling he wouldn't say no she took his offer. She walked outside, and then he locked the door.
It was a 15 minute drive. It would've took 35 minutes, if she had waited for the bus.
When they arrived, they both got out the car.
Sasuke went over to her side, and leaned on his car. Hinata was confused why he got out to go to her side, but she took it as another chance to tell him that-
"I promise I'll make it up to you!" She bowed.
"You don't have to bow. And it's okay. They're just curtains."
"Still…"
The sprinklers in her yard turned on.
No!
She had to walk through that!
Her sprinklers had three setting. First the water pressure, was light, then it gave a little a force, then it would kind of hurt when you walked through them. She had to go now before that happened.
She turned back to Sasuke then bowed again, "I promise I'll make it up too you."
She quickly entered the through her houses tall black gates.
"Hinata."
She looked back.
"I have to repaint my kitchen wall. I was thinking about going tomorrow after school. If you want to make it up so bad, you can come."
She gave him a small smile. "Okay! Night!"
He nodded.
She ran through the yard quickly, then got out her keys and walked into the house.
Once she was in, he took out a cigarette, lit it up, enhaled, and let out a big puff of smoke. He walked back to the drivers side of the car, got in, rolled down the window, then drove off.
Her hair was a little damp from the water. Good thing she didn't get too wet.
"You home."
She turned to her left, and there was Hanabi in the living room, watching television and snacking on chips.
"Yeah."
She took off her shoes, and left them by the door.
She heard running footsteps. Neji came to an abrupt sop in the living.
"Hinata-sama!"
"N-Neji-niisan." She sweat-dropped. "What are you wearing?"
He had an apron on, and empty pan in his hand.
He struck a proud pose.
"I was a about the cook."
"More like put the kitchen on fire." Hanabi replied.
He gave her an annoyed look.
"My cooking is not bad, right Hinata-sama?"
He turned back to Hinata, with the same proud pose.
"I was going to make-"
Hinata took the pan out of his hand. "Maybe I'll make fish tonight."
She made her way to the kitchen.
Neji froze, and Hanabi had a mean smile on her face.
"That's her way of saying your cooking sucks."
"SHUT UP!"
WAAAA!
The chapter is done. I actually had a hard time think out what I should do with this chapter. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what the hell could I put. I hope this chapter wasn't boring D: For a day my mind wasn't working. I have a pretty clear idea of what I'll probably do next chapter though, and I really hope you like it.
I hope to update soon.
