Chapter 10: Family Vacation in Konoha, a Day at the Beach, Who's That Girl? And Is That Hinata?
With Hinata
Dear diary,
It's August. I'm in a place that I thought I'd never be in again. I'm in Konoha. Mom bought me some grey contacts to hide my natural Hyuga eyes. We aren't stupid enough to go to a city where these eyes are noticeable without a disguise. Mom said I look so different that no one will recognize me, but my eyes would give it away. However with the contacts I look nothing like the old me. Mom also told me that Haveah wouldn't get noticed because she'll probably will be too busy playing to look up. And that no one would pay attention to her brick red hair. I hope that she is right.
I'm only here because we're on family vacation. We as in me, Havana, Haveah, Mom, Avery, Hayden, Ryan, Danny, pregnant Victoria, Jacob, Gabriella, and Catalina. Why are we vacationing you may ask? Well Jacob and Gabriella graduated this year and are going to Konoha University. (Konoha U is like no other college. It has every course that you could ever dream of. It starts in like the end of October and goes all the was until the end of May.)So it was the plan to take them on a vacation to Konoha because this is the place that they'll be spending for the next four years of their lives. We drove all the way up here. We rented two black Cadillac Escalades. We gave them names. The truck that I was in was called the Single- Kiddy Daycare on Wheels. The other was called the Lovely Couple's Vacation. By the names of the trucks, I bet you know who was in what truck.
#Single- Kiddy Daycare on Wheels
1st row: Mom (driver) Catalina (passenger)
2nd row: Haveah (left), Havana (middle), Hayden (right)
3rd row: me. (I had a whole row by myself. YAY!)
(Mom and Catalina changed places driving. Since I only just got my permit, I wasn't allowed to drive but once. Total sadness goes to me.)
#Lovely Couple's Vacation
1st row: Ryan (driver), Avery (passenger)
2nd row: Danny, Victoria
3rd row: Jacob, Gabriella
(Since all of they all had their licenses they changed places driving. All except Victoria. Duh, Diary, she's pregnant.)
The trip to Konoha took like four days, including rest stops for food and restroom breaks. When we got to Konoha at like at 3:00a.m, we went to Uncle Xavier's house. He's going to be our 'hotel' for the next two weeks. His house is totally huge. Mom says that his job is paying him well, but dude. His house is like a miniature mansion. He lives alone, but he has a 8 bedroom, 4 full bathroom, and 2 half bathroom house. It's freaking AMAZING! I didn't stay on the subject of his humongous house too long. I was tired. So were my babies, this includes Hayden. We went straight to our guest room (the kids and I shared a room. Jake and Gabriella shared a room. Ryan and Avery shared a room. Danny and Victoria shared a room. Mom and Catalina got their own rooms.). And instantly went to sleep. Turns out that was a big mistake. I didn't look at my clothes. Nor the girls' clothes.
We woke up around 9 a.m. I sent Hady to his parents for his bath, put the girls in the tub, and went to the suit case for their clothes. All that was in there were dresses, shorts, frilly shirts and other girly clothing in both my size and theirs. None of our 'normal' tomboy clothes were in there. I found a note from Mom that read:
Hey, Hina, Veah, and Vana, its summer time and you guys need to look like girls for once. Especially you Hinata. You need to set a good example for them. And why not show off your new belly ring and tattoo. Oh and wear something light with your swim suit underneath. We're going to the beach.
Love,
Your Mom, Avery, Hayden, Ryan, Danny, Victoria, Jacob, Gabriella, and Catalina.
I went to find 'something light to wear and our swimsuits'. What I saw pissed me off. After I put on their clothes I sent them down to breakfast. Then I got in the shower. What I found when I got out gave me high blood pressure.
That's why right now we're at Konoha's wonderful beach. But I am not enjoying the beach. I'm sitting on my beach towel under an umbrella writing in you and watching the girls play in the water and sand with Hayden, Kurenai and Catalina. My clothes are so horrible that I haven't moved since I sat down. We've been here since 10:30. Now it's like noon. My ass is hurting, but I REGFUSE TO SUBJECT MYSELF TO THE PERVERTED STARES OF THE MEN OF THIS BEACH. I WILL NOT!
The girls were wearing identical light lavender sundresses and white sandals. They have on identical lime green one-piece swimsuits with the shorts that came with it under the dress. Their shoulder length hair is also down, their soft, natural curls swaying in the light wind. They actually look like the little angels that they are. It just is kind of different to see them in a dress since we all hate them. I think that's why they took the dresses off, just wearing their swimsuits and shorts. Somehow they got lucky. Me not so much. I got to choose their clothes, but when I got out of the shower Mom had already pulled out her choice of my clothes. Damn it.
I have on a pair of mini shorts that stop at about 2 inches above mid thigh. My swimsuit is a bikini. I really don't have on a shirt. I'm wearing my bikini top. The bra like top of the bikini is a based off of a miraculous push up bra. (As if my boobs need to look two cup sizes bigger.) It's in a slanted black and white striped design on the cups with black polka dotted straps white that tie around my neck and back, which has like a snap-like buckle thingy. The panties have the same slanted black and white striped design on the front and back with medium sized with black polka dotted straps that connect the two sides. To top it all off, I have on a pair of black sandals that have white straps that wraps around my leg all the way until the middle of my calf. Avery did my hair, without me asking, in a messy side ponytail with loose curls on the left side of my neck with my hair falling in front of me off my left shoulder. My bangs are down with my two framing pieces being curled messily also. I look like a stripper. Why might you ask is she doing my hair for the beach? IDK. But at least I get to show off my new belly ring and my tattoo. (This is B.S. my tattoo and belly ring add to my stripper ensemble. Oh, I haven't told you about that yet. You really need to get caught up with my life.)
My belly ring~ (I only got it because Avery wanted one, but was too scared to get it alone.) It was about a month and a half ago. Avery decided that she wanted a piercing. She and Ryan argued about what type she was going to be able to get. They compromised on a belly ring. She wanted a partner in crime. Victoria had just found out that she was pregnant, so she was out. Me and Gabriella were in until Gabriella's mom told her that she couldn't get one. I ended up getting stomach pierced with Avery.
My tattoo~ I wanted a way to express my love for my little girls with words that would forever be engraved onto my body unless I got it removed with a laser, which I wouldn't do. So I got the only permanent solution. I got a tattoo on my back. It's a large red heart shaped rose in the middle of my back with a pair of angel wings that are outlined in black and have purple shading that starts at the tip and goes to the middle of the wing where my pale skin color serves as the rest of wings color. At the top of my back are the words "You Are My Heart in Angel Form." Under the purple tip of my left wing is "Havana." Under the purple tip of my right wing is "Haveah." My name is under the heart. This is what the bottom of my tattoo reads altogether from left to right: "Havana Hinata Haveah" And I have decorative little swirleys underneath the tattoo artist charges $75 an hour. The tattoo took like 5 hours to do. He was supposed to charge me like $375, but knocked off 25 because I didn't stop, which would have added more money. I was happy to pay him what ever he asked because he did an amazing job. BUT IT HURT LIKE HELL! ( I cried for hours after getting the tattoo)
Now back to the present. Okay I'm getting this really weird vibe. I feel like someone is watching me. I'm turning around to see. Oh want to know something else. A red headed guy (I wonder if it's natural. Nope. Probably not. In retrospect, I've only ever known one natural red head. And that was Gaara. No need to bring up old memories by talking about the he who should not be named. Onward with my thoughts, Diary.) has been watching me since he came here. He came here like thirty minutes ago. But he has this girl with him. Douche. It's kind of creepy to have someone ogle me like that.
TTYL Diary,
Hinata, the mother of two angelz.
P.S I'm so weirded out right now.
Hinata looked back to where she last saw Havana, Haveah, Kurenai, Avery, Hayden, Ryan, Danny, Victoria, Jacob, Gabriella, and Catalina only to find that they were gone. Just then he phone vibrated. She had a text from Ryan. It read; 'Hina, we went to the ice cream vending dude. (The kids are with Kurenai, Jacob, Gabriella, and Catalina.)We'll bring you back a double chocolate scoop. We'll be back soon.
$$$Ryan$$$'
Hinata smiled, turned her phones mp3 player on and put on her earphones. She was waiting until her family came back. Then she looked back to where the boy was. He still had his eyes on her. The guy really looked like a creep, but what could she do? This was a free country. So she decided on trying to ignore the intense stare of the unnatural red head.
With Hanabi
Dear Diary,
Konohamaru talked me into coming to the beach today. It turns out he wants to have an all day makes out session or something. It's not like I really mind. That's why I wore my dark blue tankini that I like with a pair of blue jean mini shorts and my favorite blue flip flops. He has on his simple grey swimming trunks. Bummer. On the plus side he came shirtless and his trunks are low on his hips. Yay.
Today couldn't be any better. But on the way here we saw Gaara and Matsuri. It kinda dampened the peachy mood you know? With Konohamaru here though, I don't feel so angry where I want to commit murder in a public place anymore. I can stay out of jail another day.
Konohamaru found the perfect spot on the edge of the water. My boyfriend is totally awesome. You wanna know something else? I have a feeling that something amazing is going to happen today.
TTYL Diary,
Hanabi, Hina's little sis.
With Gaara
"Who's that girl? She looks so familiar. Not to mention that she is HOT! But all I see is a side view of her. I need to get rid of Matsuri, so I can go talk to her. M can be so jealous but we have an agreement. Sex no attachments. Man I'm glad that M brought me here today. Maybe I'll send M to the snack bar or something? Then I'll talk to that little cutie over there writing in her diary." Gaara thought to himself only to be brought out of his thoughts by Matsuri's hand waving in front of his face.
"M to Gaara. M to Gaara. Mr. Sabaku this is M speaking." she waved her hand in his face. When he looked at her she spoke. "Gaara, aren't you even listening to me? Do you want some ice cream or something? Cause I'm about to go by myself."
"I'm cool, but you can go get something." Gaara answered detachedly. His thoughts roaming back to that girl which he knew that he'd seen before.
A look of shock at his impassive answer passed across her face. He wasn't even looking at her. "Fine." Matsuri muttered walking away. He waited until she was all the way down the beach till he couldn't see the back of her sluttish bikini before he started walking over to the girl.
"Hinata" the name that he pushed into the back of his brain resurfaced without any provocation. An old feeling started to surface as he got closer to the girl. He hadn't felt like this since- well since before Hinata left. The feeling of his heart fluttering. "Who is that girl? Why is she making my heart feel like this? I need to find out who she is." Though he believed it was only his mind playing tricks on him, as he neared the girl with a familiar gripping feeling of stomach butterflies taking over his body, he could feel that he knew who she was. In what capacity, he didn't know. All that he knew was that he knew her. When he was about twelve feet from her, a black haired guy ran up to her. That wasn't going to stop him though, until…
"There you go. How could you totally bail out on me like that? I want to go to go surfing." Matsuri came out of nowhere looking at him. A hand on her hip. "How had she come back so fast? What kind of icecream did she eat in less than five minutes." Gaara thought. "Come on Mr. Lazy Bones. Let's go get some surf boards."
His only thought was "Shit" as Matsuri dragged him over to the surf board rental booth.
With Hinata
I'll never be the same - if we ever meet again
Won't let you get away - said if we ever meet again
This free fall's, got me so
Kiss me all night don't ever let me go
I'll never be the same
If we ever meet again
Hinata was listening to "If We Ever Meet Again" by Timberland feat. Katy Perry, when Jacob ran up to her like a bat out of hell. There was something about his frantic facial features that instantly gave her the gut feeling that something wasn't right.
She pulled out her earphones. "Dude you like hell. Jake, what's up? " Hinata asked. He was quiet for a while. This sparked the doubt that she was looking too much into his expression. "Maybe I'm just imagining it?" she thought only to be interrupted by Jacob
…
"We can't find Hayden. Have you seen him?" Hinata thought that he was joking at first, but the frantic tone in his voice told her this was no joke. This was a dire situation.
"W-What are you t-t-t-talking about? The kids were with you guys." Hinata replied, not fully grasping the situation until a few seconds later. Her eyes darted to meet his panicked gaze. "J-Jake, wh-where are the g-g-girls? A-Are they o-okay?" Panic laced her normally light voice, making it crack and making her stutter. Jacob nodded. "T-Thank God."
They stood in silence for a couple of seconds, trying to process this situation. Then they looked into each other's eyes. Light blue met grey contacts. Without a word, Hinata ran toward the water, where a few clusters of people set up their umbrellas and beach towels. Jacob ran down to the other end of the beach toward the water.
Hinata was running as fast as she could, calling Hayden's name. Her curly hair danced in the light wind as she forced her legs to move despite the burning sensation that she could fell in them and her lungs.
"Hayden. Hayden." Hinata's voice carried earning her strange looks from the beach goers. She ignored them because they weren't important at the moment. The only person that had any significance at that exact moment was her little brother. When she stopped for a breather, she took a side glance at the ocean out of her peripheral. There was a large wave coming in. There were some people watching it, but that didn't matter to her. She's seen something that made her heart stop instantly when the wave started to go back. She saw Hayden as the wave receded, his arms flailing wildly as water poured into his open mouth, which probably was open because he was trying to scream for help.
"HAYDEN!" Hinata screamed as sprinted into the water as fast as she could. When she was knee deep in the water, her speed started to decrease because of the water's weight, but she kept moving quickly. Waves constantly rolled over him pushing him under. The current had pulled him into the water that was too high for someone his age that couldn't swim in to be in. Hinata had trouble herself managing to swim against the current. She fought as hard as she could until she was close to him. His arms weren't flailing anymore. Though her vision was blurred from the contacts constantly being irritated by the ocean water, which was because waves pushed her under the surface constantly, she could see that his bright green eyes weren't open and shining at her. They were closed. He looked unusually peaceful; he looked like he was asleep. That was NEVER a good sign.
"God, please, please no! Please God. No. Let him be okay. Please." Her thoughts screamed for God to let Hayden be okay as she swam to him. When she got to him, he wasn't moving anymore. She grabbed him as quickly as possible and swam as fast as she could against the strong current back toward the shore. When she made it to land her body was begging her to stop, but she couldn't. Hayden was running out of time. She laid him down and put her ear to his little chest. Nothing. No heartbeat. That could mean only one thing: no oxygen to the brain.
The bystanders were looking at her, too shocked to move an inch. Jacob's voice screamed at them. "Why the hell are you just standing there? Call an ambulance. Move. Damn it move." He shoved past the last person and saw Hinata listen for a heartbeat. "Hina," he whispered. When she looked up with tears in her eyes, she mouthed the words that made his heat palpitate. 'He's not breathing'
He ran to them and got into position to perform CPR like they'd learned when they'd taken those healthcare classes. He started chest compressions and paused to let Hinata breath into the young boy's body using mouth to mouth. Her drenched hair fell like a curtain over his pale face as she cried and tried to give him air. They continued, but there were no results. Hinata started to fear for the worst.
"MOMMY!" a pair of small little voices screamed out to her. She looked up to find Havana and Haveah standing with her Mom, Avery, Ryan, Danny, Victoria, Gabriella, and Catalina. She didn't remember seeing them arrive, but the haunting expressions on her children's faces read 'Please save him Mommy'. Their faces were drenched in tears and unusually pale.
The looks on their faces was coupled with Avery crying repeatedly. "My baby. My baby. Please save my baby,' her motherly voice, sounding so panic- stricken motivated Hinata and Jacob to keep trying. How could they give on someone who was family? The last time they did chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth, a miracle happened. Hayden sucked in air, sat up, and coughed up the water that had infiltrated his lungs. His eyes opened and he smiled. Tears fell from Hinata's eyes as she smiled back at him. when he jumped into her arms and cried she held him strocking his back. Then Ryan and Avery rushed up and were followed by the paramedics.
15 minutes later
The ambulance left with Hayden and his parents. Hinata was still sitting, motionless, on the hot sand. She was still trying to get over her shock. Her thoughts running wild about what could have happened if she wouldn't have saved him or if that was one of her little girls were just in Hayden's place. Just that thought alone made tears fill her eyes. Just when she was about to cry, she was interrupted by Jacob's hand reaching out to help her up. "Hina, c'mon. We have to get to the hospital." Jacob's voice still a little shaky from the near drowning scare. (Everyone else had already gone to the trucks). She stayed motionless; he leaned down and picked her up bridal style. They needed to leave out of here fast.
She looked up at him. She couldn't utter a word. So she just sat there and stared dumbly at him. Her pale lavender eyes wide like a dear caught in headlights. (Her contacts came out in the ocean)
With Gaara
Gaara watched whole act of bravery that the girl and boy attempted. He was standing behind the dark haired boy, on his left, and the mystery girl. When she looked up at the boy, after he picked her up, she unknowingly looked at him at the same time. His eyes widened substantially. "Those eyes. White tinged lavender. Those unique… pale lavender eyes. I've only ever seen one other person… with those eyes. Hinata" his thoughts ran as he simultaneously spoke her name aloud "Hinata"
He wasn't the only one to utter out her name. He looked over and saw Hanabi. She'd seen it… her too.
With Hanabi
Hanabi was standing beside Gaara, behind the dark haired, on his right as she watched the saving. Konohamaru held her hand tight. "That girl and that guy saved the little boy. It was so heroic" then the girl looked up "I see…those pale lavender eyes that I remember from the picture that I keep on my bedside table. That's my … my … sister. Hinata."
"Hinata" Hanabi couldn't help, but say her sister's name. "my sister. My sister. She's here. Gaara saw her too." 'Hinata's' eyes widened as she looked between Hanabi and Gaara.
With Jacob
As soon as those people said her name, Jacob's shoulders tensed. He knew of her history with Konoha, why she left, and why she was hesitant to come on this family vacation. He saw Hinata's gaze flicker from left to right, where the people said her name. Just then a gust of wind stirred. Her eyes settled on the left side behind him. Her eyes bulged out of their sockets. She looked terrified. Whatever this was, it was something not good. NOT GOOD AT ALL.
With Hinata
The wind blew the redhead's hair. There was a red tattoo of the word love in kanji. There was only person… redheaded person that she knew with that distinctive tattoo on the left side of their forehead.
"Gaara? NO. it can't be. I… I no. We were careful. This has to be a dream. I… no… no one should recognize me. We had a disguise." she blinked her eyes trying to feel the surface of her contacts against her eyelids. There was nothing. "Oh, no! My contacts… they're gone" She'd been spotted.
Her thoughts were frantic as her breathing became ragged and choppy. She was having an asthma attack with her inhaler nowhere around. She was about to pass out, but she could feel Jacob running somewhere. To the truck maybe? Just before she blacked out completely, she could faintly hear two voices, one light and girly sounding; the other kind of deep voice. Both were yelling. "Stop. Wait. Hinata. Hinata" then darkness.
Thanks for reviewing so far. Tell me what you think. They'll meet 'properly' in the next chapter.
