Hiya everyone! How'd you guys like the last chapter? Good? Bad?
Alright so for some reason, my document manager/file editor thing is acting up again and it's been taking out parts of sentences. Why? I don't know. Spelling errors are entirely my fault and I'll try my best to find them. I don't really feel like finding a beta, so please bear with me.
SOOOO sorry I havent been updating for the past few weeks. I've been kinda busy now that the new semester has begun and so has Track season. So I'll be a little tired. But, yesterday we got snow in Texas and we didn't have school Friday. Plus we've got a three day weekend, so yay! During this time, I'll try to write as many chapters as possible.
Anyway thank you guys for your support. Please continue to enjoy.
On with the story!
Sasukes POV:
"You're amazing." I whispered to her as we tumbled to the ground. She looked up at me with a flushed face.
"Happy birthday, Sasuke." She smiled as she kissed me.
Sasukes POV:
"Sasuke. Get up! We're going to be late." Hinata whined, desperately trying to wake me up. She poked me, pinched my cheeks, slapped my forehead and even attempted to kick me out of bed. But, seeing as how she doesn't have that much strength, none of that worked.
"I don't want to go. And, I don't have to go. And I've got to go to work directly afterwards. Can't I just stay in bed and you just fill me in when I get off from work?" I negotiated, face still pressed into my pillow.
"No. You've got to go because there's only going to be one of these things. Don't you want to see what the school is like firsthand?" She pouted, pulling the blankets off of me. Not that I was fazed anyway. It was hot under the blankets. The way I see it, she just made me more comfortable.
"No, I don't. What I want to do is sleep in a little longer before I have to leave." I mumbled.
"Fine. But just know that you're going to be sleeping on the couch for a week. And you're going to cook for yourself. And you're going to do your own laundry. And-" She rambled as she walked slowly out of the bedroom.
"Fine. Fine. I'll go." I groaned, dragging myself out of bed. Only to be pounced on seconds later.
"Yay! Hurry, or we're going to be late." Hinata smiled as she kissed me and walked out of the room. I sighed heavily and took a quick shower before getting dressed and meeting Hinata in the living room.
"Ready to go?" She smiled, as if she hadn't just threatened me into leaving the house.
"Yeah. Let's just get this over with." I told her as we walked out of the apartment.
"Cheer up, Sasuke. This is gonna be fun." She smiled. I shook my head. She has no idea how wrong she is.
"Welcome, Phlogiston Stipule Academy, Freshman. My name is Akihiko Osaki and I'll be your tour guide for the day." The overly campy, white-blonde haired man beamed as he scanned over our entire group. His voice was like honey. Not the good kind of honey. But the cheap, generic, overly sweet, diabetes inducing, cavity forming, artery clogging kind of honey that you would find in some cheap ass convenient store. But the fact that he was wearing a bright ass yellow shirt that screamed 'I hate my job and I hate all of you' made me feel bad for him. "If you will all follow me, I'll show you the first four years of the rest of your lives." He smiled cheekily as he led us into the school.
"Do you see why I didn't want to come? Now I've got to be on my feet for 3 freaking hours before I got to work." I complained to Hinata as we listened to Akihiko explain the dorm situation. Hinata and I won't really need to listen to this part.
"Stop complaining, Sasuke. You could be doing something much worse." Hinata smiled as she looked ahead. I sighed and shoved my hands in to my pockets.
"On your left is our library" Home to more than 50,000 books. The library is open 24 hours. You never know when you're going to need a quiet place to study at 4 in the morning." Akihiko laughed, as did a few other people within our group.
"Dude, can I just leave? This tour is boring me to pieces." Naruto whined as he tugged at his own hair.
"Can you cook for yourself?" Ino asked as she nudged Naruto in the ribs. Apparently, Hinata and Ino shared the same threatening tactics.
"No, but I don't have to know how to cook when there's instant ramen, take-out and pizza." Naruto laughed. Ino glared at him and placed her hands on her hips.
"Well then I guess that you and hand better become best friends again for the next month…" She smiled as she patted Narutos cheek, clearly mocking him.
"Wait. What? Ino, that's not fair!" Naruto whined as he pulled Ino back by her hips and kissed her cheek. "It was just a joke. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, but you've got to start taking college seriously. I don't think anyone would date a college flunky. Would you?" She asked. Naruto sighed and scrunched his up.
"No…" Was all he could say in his clear defeat.
"These houses belong to several fraternities and sororities. Alpha Omicron Pi has been our top fraternity for the past 5 years. Gamma Phi Beta, the dean of Phlogiston Stipule Academys sorority, has been on top for the past 7 years. There are several other frats and sororities that students are welcome to join that will all help you with networking for when you graduate." Akihiko said as he kept his steady pace. Ahead of me, I could hear Ino and Hinata squealing over the idea of joining a sorority.
"We should do it." Naruto said, not making eye contact with me.
"Excuse me?" I asked him, trying to be sure that I had heard my best friend correctly.
"Don't be an ass. I know you heard what I said." He said, turning to face me.
"Yeah, but I'm wondering if you heard what you said. What the hell do I look like joining a fraternity?" I asked him, probably scowling at the sheer fact that he had even brought it up.
"You'd look like the bestest friend in the whole world. Plus, you heard what Sunshine said; it helps with networking." Naruto explained.
"Sunshine?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Akihikos shirt is impossibly yellow, hence Sunshine." He laughed.
"If that's the case, shouldn't we be calling you sunshine?" I smirked, ruffling the mess of blonde spikes that Naruto called hair.
"Bastard. Don't change the subject." He laughed, swatting my hand away. "Come on, man. Please? Do you know how much better we would make these lame assed fraternities?" Naruto joked, repeatedly nudging me in the arm with a childish look on his face.
"I'll think about it." I told him with a smirk as I shoved him away from me.
"Yes! You're the best!" Naruto cheered as if I had said yes.
"Don't I know it?" I chuckled as Naruto rolled his eyes with a cheerful smile.
"For what reason do you think that we'd let two freshman into our fraternity." Someone said from behind me and Naruto. I kept walking, not wanting to be bothered by some asshole with a shit-ton of hair gel. Naruto, on the other hand, stopped.
"And who the hell said we were going to join your shitty fraternity anyway?" Naruto goaded. I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"Naruto, don't encourage them." I told him, pulling him by the back of his shirt. I don't even want to be here. I really don't want to be here arguing with a bunch of douche bags.
"Uchiha." Someone called. I shook my head and continued to pull Naruto back towards our group. I'm not about to argue with a guy whom I don't really care for. Even if I don't even know who it is. "I know you heard me, kid." The person yelled. That was when I stopped in my tracks. Its one thing to be blatantly disrespectful. Its another thing if some jackass calls you a kid.
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" I asked, letting go of Naruto in order to turn around.
"You're the only one here with Uchiha as their last name." A kid with brown hair said.
"And you are?" I asked, not really caring to know.
"You don't remember me?" He said with a scowl on his face.
"Obviously not if I'm asking you who you are, dumbass." I told him with a straight face while Naruto laughed.
"I'm sure Hinata would remember me." He said with a smirk. I looked him up and down, trying to remember who the hell he was, but it wasn't coming to me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I guess you're one of Hinatas old friends. I'll let her know you said Hi." I said calmly as I turned to walk away. "Lets go, Naruto."
"Remember that road trip you took with Hinata?" He called from behind me. I thought about it. Then it hit me.
"Ryuuske." I said, suddenly seething with anger. I can't stand him.
"That's right, kid." He said. "How's my girl doing?" Ryuuske said as his friends let out a childish "Ooo"
"My girlfriend is the least of your concerns right now. What you should be worried about is how your gonna get to the hospital in a few minutes." I told him, staring straight in his eyes.
"Oh? And just who is going to put me in the hospital?" He asked as he walked a few steps and stopped in front of me.
"Me, if the two of you don't stop being idiots. Jeez Sasuke, can you go anywhere without getting into an altercation?" A small voice asked as someone pulled Ryuuske and I apart. I looked down to see Hinata frowning up at me. "You're such a trouble maker. Maybe you should have gone to work instead." She said as she grabbed my hand. "Sorry for the trouble, sir."
"Hinata, you don't remember me?" Ryuuske asked as he grabbed Hinatas arm. I was about to hit him, until she did. Directly in the nose.
"No. Don't touch me. Creep." She scowled as she pulled me away. "I don't like when strangers touch me." She frowned as we rejoined our group. "What's worse is that he knew my name. Isn't that creepy?" She shuddered.
"You know that was Ryuuske, right?" I asked her calmly. Her frowned deepened.
"Ew. He touched me." She said childishly. "I don't know why I dated him."
"Well, you're dating me now. So it's fine." I smirked as I kissed her cheek.
Hinatas POV:
After the tour, I was really tired. Plus I felt terrible that I forced Sasuke out of bed even though he had to work. But he still went to work in a great mood. How? I will never know.
"Yes I still plan to be a Psychologist." I told my Dad as I walked into the kitchen.
"You do realize that that's not an easy career, right?" He asked as I switched my phone to my other ear.
"Yes, I know." I said as I opened the refrigerator to grab things for dinner. That's when I realized that we were out oF several different things. "Dad, I've got to go. I'll call you back later."
"Very well. Say Hi to Sasuke for me." He said.
"I will. Kiss Hanabi and Neji for me." I smiled. "I love you."
"I love you too, Hinata." My Dad said before he hung up. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket before I walked to the front door and stepped in my shoes. Minutes later, I was walking down the road towards the grocery store.
"Hi Hinata!" Kisame waved from the entrance of the dealership.
"Hi Kisame." I smiled as I waved back to the oddly blue colored man as he turned to talk to some blonde woman. Or man. I don't know. "Hinata, come here. Hurry!" Rin called to me as I was about to walk past the pet shop.
"What is it?" I asked as I followed him inside.
"Someone is considering buying Po." He told me as he straightened his shirt. I'm pretty sure my eyes went wide. Even thought the puppy wasn't really mine. I had grown attached to him, considering I had visited him every day and watched him grow up for almost two months.
"Wh-What? No. He's mine." I told Rin defensively.
"I know. But I can't hold him any longer." Rin said sullenly. I frowned and chewed on my bottom lip in deep thought. But we're not allowed to have pets. But, our land lord never comes around, so it should be fine. That's when I saw a women pick Po up. The reason I knew it was Po was because Po was the only puppy in the pin that nipped at other peoples thumbs when you picked him up.
"No!" I accidentally shouted as I made my way over to the woman who was holding Po. "I-I mean….He's not for sale." I said, taking Po from her hands and cuddling him as if he was my baby.
"Excuse me? He was in the pin, therefore, he is for sale." She said with a bit of an attitude as she reached for Po.
"Too bad. He's mine. I had him reserved." I told her as I walked over to Rin at the counter.
"You cant do that!" The woman shouted as I paid for Po and several other dog necessities.
"I can and I did. Have a nice night." I told her as I walked out of the pet store, waving at Rin in the process. I kissed Po on the top of the head and clipped on his leash and collar. Po was about 3 months old and he was walking perfectly. I smiled at the small dog as I made my way to the grocery store. Standing outside of the store was a rather tall man wearing the store uniform, smoking a cigarette.
"Hey Hinata. "The man said with a small smile. I squinted for a little while before noticing that it was Shino.
"Hi Shino." I smiled as I stopped in front of him.
"You know there's no pets allowed inside, right?" He asked, taking a drag from his cigarette. I never knew he smoked.
"I know. Would you watch him while I run inside for a few minutes? Pleeeaaasee Shino?" I begged looking him in the eyes. I never noticed how nice Shinos eyes were. He always wore glasses. He nodded.
"Oh my goodness. Thank you, Shino." I smiled as I hugged him and handed over Pos leash. "I'll buy you lunch the next time I see you." I smiled as I speed walked inside. We only needed a few things, so it didn't take me long to get them. When I had finished, I walked out side of the store to see Shino petting a sleeping Po. "Aww." I smiled as Shino looked down at me.
"You owe me lunch." He smiled as he handed the pale spotted puppy to me. He hadn't quiet gotten all of his spots yet.
"I know." I smiled. "Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it. Hurry home, it's getting kind of dark." He told me, stubbing out his cigarette. I nodded and walked down the sidewalk with full arms. I didn't have it in me to make Po walk home after he had just woken up. Just as I was about to walk past the dealership, I heard Sasuke call my name. In a panic, I kept walking. I know he'd make me take Po back if he saw him. He's going to be really angry when he gets home.
As soon as I got home, I set Po on the floor and walked into the kitchen. Maybe Sasuke wont be so mad if I make him dinner. I smiled and proceeded to make several of Sasukes favorite foods, making sure to include that confused, red vegetable/fruit. I hummed to myself as I cooked. Then I heard tiny steps padding into the kitchen as I turned the stove off and covered the food with a few lids. I looked down and placed my hands on my knees, looking down at the small white puppy with gray spots and brown paws. Wait, brown paws?
"Po, what did you get into?" I asked the puppy as I lifted him off of the ground. He barked and tilted his head to the side in the cutest way. I frowned when I lifted his front paw to find that he had stepped in what I believed to be puppy poop. Great, somewhere in the apartment, there's is a pile of poop. I sighed and carried him into the bathroom and ran a bath. He looked up at me with his big, light blue eyes and barked, poking his butt into the air in a playful stance.
"You're cute, but your feet have poo on them. Into the tub you go." I smiled as I picked him up and put him into the bathtub. Almost immediately, Po started to run around in the tub, pawing at the water that had risen only 2 inches, as if he was digging a hole. I laughed as I pulled my phone from my pocket and took several pictures before pouring soap into my hands and lathering the small canine.
He didn't seem to like that. He started shaking and running around, effectively splashing my with water. I rolled my eyes with a smile and continued to bathe the overactive puppy. I love him already.
Sasukes POV:
Did she not hear me when I called her? She must have. I shook my head as I grabbed my keys and unlocked the door. I'll just ask her when I see her. A very pleasant scent filled my nose when I opened the door and toed off my shoes. Apparently Hinata had been cooking. I took just about 3 steps before my sock clad foot landed in something warm and squishy. What the hell? Slowly, I looked down to find my foot planted it what appeared to be a pile of shit.
"The fuck?" I asked no one in particular as I raised my foot and pulled off the sock. That's nasty. What the hell is going on here? Small paw prints littered the small tiled area in front of the door. Seconds later, a small white blur came around the corner and skidded to a halt in front of me, successfully landing into the pile of crap that I'm pretty sure came from it.
"Po, get back here!" Hinata called as she came around the corner, soaking wet. "I swear, yo-" She began. "S-Sasuke, you're home." She smiled weakly.
"Yes, I am." I sighed, bending over to grab the creature named Po by the scruff. "Hinata, what is this?" I asked, holding up the dog and my now un-wearable sock. She looked at me and bit her lip.
"Well, that's a dirty sock" She said, pointing to the soiled sock. "And that's Po." She said quietly.
"Uh-huh. And why is Po in the house?" I asked her, as if she was a child. Po dangled in my hand, relaxed as if his mother was holding him.
"I-I…Well…Y-You see." She stammered.
"Go on." I urged her.
"I bought him on my way to the grocery store. Some lady was about to take him and I told her no because he was mine because he is. I had been watching him for the past 2 months now and Rin had him reserved and I know we're not allowed to have pets but, Sasuke look at him. I love him so much." She said quickly. I sighed.
"Hinata, you know we're not allowed to have pets." I told her. Hinata pouted and stomped her feet lightly.
"But Sasuke, no ones going to know if we have him. I don't want to give him away. It's not fair." She whined, looking close to tears. This girl is going to be the death of me. I knelt down and set Po down on the floor next to his mess, put his nose close to it, and hit him on top of the head. Not hard, but just enough to get my point across. He yelped and Hinata looked at me with wide eyes. "Sasuke! What are you doing?!" She shrieked as she took the dirty dog from me.
"If we're going to keep him, we need to train him." I told her.
"Yeah but you didn't have t-" She stopped. "What?"
"I said, if we're going to keep him, we nee-"
"We're keeping him?!" She beamed childishly. I nodded.
"Yes. But he's your responsibility. You have to clean up after him. Starting with this pile of crap and this sock." I told her, holding out the sock.
"Oh my gosh! Yes! Did you hear that Po? Sasuke said you can stay." She smiled kissing the dog on the head. I shook my head and walked over to her, taking the puppy from her arms. "Huh? Sasuke, what are you doing?"
"Putting him in the bathtub while you clean up that mess." I smirked as I walked towards the bathroom. Po looked up and me and pressed his dirty paws on my shirt. I frowned and looked down at the blue eyed puppy. Something about him and the way he looked made me not as upset as I would have been had he have been ugly.
Alrighty guys, how was it? Sorry I haven't been updating like I should be. I promise I'll do better.
Until next time!
