Me: Sorry for not updating soon. As I am sure i told you before I like to be a certain chapters ahead so I tend to wait until i reach that number before I update. I'm almost done with chapter elven and would be on twelve soon which is probably going to end up being shorter than eleven there fore i would be able to get back on track soon. One of the main reason as to why I am updating now is because I felt as though I spent to much time from my last chapter to this one. Once again sorry for the wait.
Naruto: Yellow everybody.
Hinata: Don't you mean hello
Naruto: Nope I'm trying to start something new.
Hinata: *Shakes head* Michi-chan does not own us. She only owns the characters she makes up. Now on with the chapter.
Chapter 9 the boy who is Enthomophobic
We did it. Well more like Michi did it but when I told her that she said that it was a group effort and Gai-sensei back her up on that. What was it that we were able to do? Well we were able to get me to catch the ball. It was so funny how it happened. You see at first I was missing them and they kept going farther and farther away from me. At first Michi would get them but I could tell she was getting tired from running and walking towards the ball and told her that I would get them. Since everyone was so far away from each other I didn't run into anyone while chasing the ball. Anyway it was almost time to go when Michi threw the ball. My hands were already out but some loud noise caught my attention making me jump and that was when the ball landed in my hands and it stayed there.
Funny right…well I and Michi thought it was.
Now, since the bell rung everyone was off to their next class. Me included. The only thing was that Michi didn't have this class with me. Meaning I was going to have to go through a whole period without someone who could understand me without using words. A silent sigh escaped my lips as I walked slowly to class. The halls were empty because I left after everyone else. And Michi was off at her class already thought she offered to take me to mines. I had told her it was okay, something I was whishing I didn't.
The classroom looked like one of those classrooms you would see in a high school. Since I never been to a high school before I'm going off of the images I've seen of one. There were posters on the walls and they had different kinds of learning materials on them. I walked to the back of the room and sat down. The bell had rung and everyone was sitting in their seats. Some turned around to look at me, which made me blush and duck my head.
The teacher came into the room looking flustered. Her face was a little red and her hair was put into a messy ponytail. Her clothes were a little wrinkled and she had on mismatch socks. She looked over at us and gave out a tired sigh like she had somewhere better she could be at right now. Maybe this was what Michi was talking about when she said that some of the staff doesn't like it here. Of course she said that it was the nurses who would sometimes abused the kids here but that part doesn't just extent to the nurses do they. The teacher looked like she would hit one of us right now if we made the wrong move.
"Okay class as I am sure you heard there is someone new who is now in this class. Her name is Hinata Yuuhi and you guys should give her a warm welcome." She said tiredly while leaning on her desk and looking at me. Everyone turned around and gave me a hello. My heart was beating fast but it was slowly calming down when it happened.
"Hello." Someone whispered in my head. I jumped up and put my hand on my heart. Turning to my side my eyes widen. Sitting there was a boy. He was wearing a white trench coat and brown khakis. He had on very dark sunglasses and his hair black hair was in an upwards fashion. There was no expression on his face and that probably what scared me the most. It was just like the face my father wore only I could see the expression in his eyes. And it was usually based with disappointment.
I nodded my head in his direction although my heart was racing a mile a minute. My face was growing a faint blush on them and I suddenly felt hot. The hoodie I was wearing wasn't helping a thing. He stayed quiet. He didn't even move a muscle as he watches me go through a quick I was getting better at coming myself down but that didn't stop the fact that I was ready to lung at him and or run out the room screaming so loud that I could wake the dead.
Of course I did neither. I really didn't think the teacher would appreciate it if I did one or the other in her classroom. In fact I'm sure she wouldn't mind taking her frustration out on me. Instead I tried to calm myself down by doing that counting exercise that Kurenai told me about. You know the one where you count to ten and it's suppose to magically calm you down. Yeah it seems farfetched but it's all I had to go by.
One: My mind quickly went into a fight or flight mode.
Two: My mind quickly entered the fight mode and adrenaline poured through my vein.
Three: My mind exited the fight mode and entered just as quickly the flight mode.
Four: My mind was cursing my body for not moving
Five: I was cursing my mind for cursing me.
Six: We were both in agreement. We had to get out of the place.
Seven: I didn't move an inch.
Eight: My mind was back to cursing me out for not moving and I at it for not telling my legs to move.
Nine: We settled the argument when my mind told me that I was in control of my legs and it was my fault we weren't moving.
Ten: I realized how stupid this thing really was, and how me and my mind were the same and also that the whole argument made me lose track of why I was counting in the first place.
All throughout that very quick exchange the mysterious trench coat boy was staring at me. That caused me to blush again. It seemed that whatever he was looking at me for he had found because he turned away to look back at the teacher who was talking about something. I had no idea what it was though. Out the corner of my eye I could see the boy take out a sheet of paper and write something on it before sliding it over to me.
"Shino Aburame." He wrote in very neat handwriting. I read it over and over again trying to figure out what he wanted. He already knew my name so was he just trying to tell me his. He took the paper back in a quick motion before writing something else on it.
"I wanted to apologize for scaring you I thought you were already aware of my presence here. I would have apologized by mouth but sensei does not like it when people talk without permission." I read it before writing my own note on it. Though my handwriting pales in comparison to his. Partially because I couldn't spot shaking and partially because he just have very good penmanship.
"That's alright I wasn't paying attention and I'm really easy to scare." I told him and it was the truth. I was very easy to scare though it really wasn't my fault. He nodded his head slowly before writing some more.
"You are curious of my problem are you not?" He questioned. I shook my head. I really wasn't. I mean I was trying to calm myself down in the beginning so it never really registered to me to ask what his problem was. And besides asking someone that just seemed so wrong and how would you even start it off. Come on, Hi my name is Hinata and I couldn't but notice that you're in a crazy home and I want to know why will you tell me. There is no way I would say something like that. Not even something close to that would leave my mouth.
"I am Enthomophobic." He wrote anyway. I gave a confused look at it and then back to him. Picking up my pencil my hands were already writing before my brain could catch up.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I wrote to him. He read it then nodded his head. He then picked up his pencil and started writing.
"Enthomophobia is when you have a fear of insects." He had written, "When I was young my family went out on a camping trip. The place was nice and we were actually there to collect data on some of the insects that reside there. It was going well and my father and mother collected a lot of data on different types of insects. Yet it was said that they place they were studying in were home of the very vicious Kikaichu bug. But my parents were very well known bugs collectors. Well it was the last day we were there and they haven't gotten one data on the Kikaichu bugs. I was enthralled by a very rare breed of butterfly and was following it. Unknown to me there was a cliff and so I fell into it. I landed in some bushes but the bushes were where the Kikaichu bugs were living. There are very territorial and vicious just like the rumors said. They wasted no time in biting and sting me. I ran screaming but they continued to follow me. My parents found me in a pool of my blood with bit and sting marks in me. They quickly rushed me to the hospital and they were able to treat me before I died. Fortunately for my parents they were able to find a few Kikaichu bugs in my blood and are now studying them in case they attack someone else or to stop them from attacking someone else."
He had told me anyway even though I wasn't really curious. But that sparked something. So talking the notebook and flipping it to the back of the page we were on since he had used the last of the paper to write that paragraph I started writing. Not sure of how I wanted to word it I continued to scratch things out until I realized that there was an eraser on the pencil and started erasing the words. So when he got it, it looked like this:
"I...what…what I mean is…no um well…ugh I mean what I want I mean to know…how did you…when did you realize that you were deathly really afraid of insects." It was really stupid of me to forget about the eraser but that didn't stop me from showing to him anyway. He looked at the paper a nodded his head. I guess he realized how uncomfortable about writing that. He didn't comment of it either. Instead he went on to write. He was writing quicker than how he wrote the last time. Yet when I got the paper his handwriting was still very neat. He must have taken lessons on penmanship.
"It took me about six months in the hospital to recuperate and when I was done my parents took me home. Once home I spent most of my time in my room. I had overheard the doctor say that the wounds that I have acquired from the Kikaichu bugs won't disappear so I was afraid of what people would say when they found out. My parents notice that and they bought my first trench coat. It was not until I had tried going out for the first time did we actually know something was up. A bee had passed us and I had started screaming. There was some people looking at me with pity looks but for the ones who didn't catch on to quickly just thought I was crazy. My parents quickly rushed me back to the house. They had called a psychiatrist and he examined me. After a few months he had diagnosed me with Enthomophobia. My parents tried all they could to get me over it but after years of not leaving the house they thought it would be better to get a professional help and sent me here. To Konoha Institute where I would be treated at all the time."
That was the end of his story. I nodded my head in his direction not sure of what I could say…write to….make him feel better? He didn't seem upset about anything so I was left tongue tied. He nodded his head and looked to the front of the class again. He stayed like that until the bell rung. He stood up slowly, me following after him a few seconds later, and grabbed all his materials before turning to look at me. My heart picked up a few paces and I looked down out of fear.
"Good day to you Hinata." He spoke before leaving. I watch him go. It must have been hard for him going outside with a fear of bugs. Anywhere he turns his eyes could land on a bug and it would set him off. He was like me in a way though my fear isn't all that sever no matter what people say. Anywhere I turn my eyes could land on someone. And if they were to look at me as well I might go into a panic attack. My heart went out for the boy who was Enthomophobic. For anywhere he will always have the scars from the things that made him afraid and he will always be watching his back.
Me: There you go you have Shino story. And we have a new person entering Michi's Show. Give a round of applause to Shino Aburame.
Shino: It is a pleasure to be on your show Michi.
Me: It's a pleasure to have you on this show of mines.
Shino: Well now you all know what my Phobia is.
Me: Yes and I would like to ask you a question.
Shino: Asks away.
Me: Why the hell did your parents take you with them on a bug finding trip when there was rumors of the dangers Kikaichu bugs around?
Shino: That is a very good question. They felt as though it was time for me to see how the family business is so they took me with them.
Me: Some family business. Anyway tell me what you think about Shino's story. Does it seem possible to happen. Next chapter Hinata interacts with Naruto a little *Screams of joy* and in chapter eleven which is Naruto pov they interact more and you would also learn what Naruto phobia is. Stay tune for the next chapter.
