Noroi no Uchiha
When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage,
A curse is born
The curse gathers in that place of death
And those who encounter it will be consumed by its fury.
Shivers
寒気
Hinata sighed, placing her bags down. As promised, Sasuke stood by the door watching her every move, his eyes sometimes flicking a cross the room. How did she end up in this mess? Still, it would only be for a short while, she shouldn't complain.
"Come, I'll show you around," Sasuke commanded, waiting until she was beside him before nudging her slightly ahead so he could see her. It was like she was a prisoner, did he really trust her so little? He took her round the house, pointing at certain things and commenting on how she can't go there, she can't touch that, etc, etc.
She couldn't help but shiver slightly, she was still wet from the rain, but this house gave her chills. It was so unnaturally cold in this house, did the central heating not work? She watched as her breath rose as a fog before her. She hoped a shower would be warm, she didn't want to get sick.
"Uch—"
"Sasuke," Sasuke corrected her, cutting her off.
"Sasuke-san, anou… would it be possible t-to…" Hinata began.
"To what?" Sasuke asked impatiently.
"Anou, u-use your sh-shower?" Hinata stuttered a blush rising to her cheeks.
"Fine, let's go," he said leading her back towards his room. She shivered feeling as though someone's eyes were fixed on her back watching her every move. He stood inside the room as she gathered her things from her bag, scoffing when she tried to hide her underwear from his sight. He'd had girls' underwear thrown at him in high school, he'd seen it all before.
"I won't be long," Hinata said as he walked her to the bathroom door.
"Don't lock the door," Sasuke said catching her wrist as she went to turn the handle.
"W-why?" she asked. She needed to lock that door for privacy and security, just for a little while she needed to be away from his suffocating presence.
"The door won't open again if you do," he said sternly. She looked at him with wide eyes and he scoffed irritably. "Why the hell would I want to look at you? You're nothing special. I just don't want you to be locked in my bathroom and have to break down my door." She wasn't sure whether to be offended or relieved by his comment, but accepted it and went inside, closing the door after her but leaving it unlocked.
She heard a thump, then another thump and guessed he'd sat down outside the door. Nervously she quickly stripped and then climbed in the shower, drawing the curtain and then turning it on.
She shivered when cold water sprayed down on her, goosebumps spreading across her skin. As she reached for her bathing supplies she was relieved when the water began to warm up. The warm hammering feeling soothed her and she massaged shampoo into her scalp before washing it out and then applying conditioner to the ends. She got some soap and massaged her body, soapsuds covering her milky skin. She sighed as the water washed the bubbles away and closed her eyes in bliss.
She shivered slightly when she felt a cold breeze blow across her skin. Why did this house have to be so cold? The cold breeze floated across her skin in feather like touches, down her back, and up her stomach. She grimaced as it seemed to caress the undersides of her breasts. Where was this wind coming from? Was there a window open? She opened her eyes deciding to get out and looked down to see if the bubbles were all gone.
Sasuke jumped violently at the sound of her scream. He scrambled to his feet when he heard a loud bang and went to open the door, only to hear it lock. He pounded on the door, feeling it shake under his blows.
"Open the door! Hyuuga! HYUUGA!!" Sasuke shouted. He became anxious when he heard no reply and desperately tried to open the door. She hadn't locked it, he hadn't heard her step out the shower. "Hyuuga! HYUUGA!" What the hell was her name? There's more chance she'd answer to her first name than last name. What the hell was it?! Hi… Hi… Hina… Hinara… Hinana… no, Hinata! "HINATA!!" Sasuke shouted and to his surprise the door unlocked. He wasted no time barging inside and watched in horror as a small dark shadow disappeared through the ceiling. "Damn!"
He rushed over to the shower hearing it still running. Pulling back the curtain he realised she was unconscious lying on her front. He wasted no time turning the shower off and grabbing a towel, wrapping her in it and hoisting her up. She was heavier than she looked when she was unconscious and wet. He walked out and kicked open his bedroom door, walking over to his bed and setting her down on it. Sitting on the edge the bed he ran his hands through his hair in stress.
It was twenty minutes or so before she woke up. She was aware she was cold and wet and also that she wasn't in the shower anymore. She groggily sat up and quickly caught the towel that had been wrapped around her before it fell down.
"W-what happened?"
"You passed out." She jumped at the sound of Sasukes voice and clutched the towel to her as though it was her lifeline. "What happened?"
"Nothing," she said after a long pause, turning away from him and wrapping her arms more securely around herself.
"Liar," Sasuke hissed.
"I just... fainted, I can't remember why," she said shakily. She could remember, oh how couldn't she? Every time she closed her eyes to blink, sunken blood red eyes blazed on the inside of her lids...
