Me: Hey look an update.
Naruto: And I'm the main character
Me: Its not nice to brag. Anyway would you guys like to see a Naruto POV every three chapters or every two chapters?
Chapter 11 Naruto POV: Stories, romantic novels, and seeing her handwriting.
The light flashed on. Of course that was easy to ignore and ignore it I did. Then there was knocking on my door. After the knocking there was banging. Both were easy to ignore. Then after that someone was threatening to bust my door down. I drew the line at that and got out the bed, went over to the door, and glared at the person on the opposite side.
"Are you forgetting where you are?"
Right there the person standing in the spot where my very scary glare was at was Sasuke effin Uchiha. He too had a glare of his own. Which I must say was probably better than mines. Although you will never hear me say that out loud.
"No I haven't forgotten where we are…why?" I was at a lost. Was there something I was forgetting? From the look on Sasuke face it seemed as though I had forgotten something.
"We have group meeting with Iruka today."
I stared at him for a second…no scratch that I stared at him for a minute…or two before it dawned on me. Slamming the door in his face, I rushed over to my bathroom. Took a quick, three minute, shower before deeming that enough. Once my clothes were on I was opening the door again to see the rest of the gang still there.
"What took you so long Naruto?" Tenten said with a smirk on her face. I in turn glared at her. She rolled her eyes at me and went to talk to the other girls.
"It seems fate is on your side Naruto." Neji said as we entered the room, "Iruka is not here yet so we don't have to beat you up for making the rest of us late. Fate has decided to keep you alive." My eyes landed on him with an uneasy glint in them.
Neji creeps me out with his fate and destiny talk.
I wonder if having a scare on my face will make people notice me more.
I shook my head hard to get rid of the last thought. I already have six scares on my face why would one more make me stand out more. We were the second group of people who was in the room. The first was Karin and her friends. After us Kabuto entered the room along with Kin Dosu and Zaku. Karin was shooting glares at Sakura and in turn her group was shooting glares at us as well. We shot glares back at them as not to look weak. A few seconds later Iruka walked into the room.
"Okay class today we are going to be talking a little bit about our past." Iruka said. He was just about to start if off when the doors opened.
Standing there was Sarutobi. My eyes quickly traveled down to see a girl in front of him. She was the same age as me and my friends. She has long dark blue hair and lavender eyes. They were almost the same colors as Neji or Hanabi. Iruka started talking to Sarutobi and Sarutobi then pushed Hinata to sit down. She looked up at him for a moment before following his direction and sitting down. For some reason I felt this pull to her. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop looking at her.
"Okay class since we have someone knew here let's do what we did when we first got here. First you will tell me your name and then you will tell us what you are in for and how you are trying to change that." Iruka spoke breaking me out of my thought.
"We will start with you first Karin."
Karin smiled before she started.
"My name is Karin and I'm Cacophobic for all of you who don't know that means I have a fear of ugliness. How am I changing that? Well obviously I try not to look at ugly people." Karin stopped and looked over at Sakura, "Than means I stay away from you Sakura."
She started laughing and her friends did as well.
It was annoying. I was about to say something when Iruka started talking again.
"Okay you next Suigetsu." Iruka said.
Iruka was another family friend. He usually avoided confrontation when someone was about to start one with or someone else. Don't get me wrong. Iruka wasn't a pushover. He just wasn't a fan of fighting therefore he nipped things in the bud before they had a chance to grow.
"My name is Suigetsu and I am Hydrophobic. That means I have a fear of water. How am I helping that, well I am trying to get familiar with water and hopefully that would make me fear it less." He spoke slowly.
Iruka looked at the next person in line and he started speaking. I already knew what everyone problem was so I felt no need in listening to what everyone was saying. It got to the point that my friends were talking. First it was Ino and then this boy name Shikamaru, it was then Tenten and Neji turn. After then it was Sakura, Sasuke who then proceeded after her. And finally it was my turn. Standing up I started talking.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am Athazagoraphobic which means I have a fear of being forgotten or abandon." My voice was louder than a normal person voice would be.
My eyes swept the room and the smile on my face grew lager when I saw that everyone so far was looking at me. With another sweep that smile on my face slowly started to turn into an uneasy one. The new girl wasn't looking at me. I doubt she even heard a word that came out of my mouth. Slowly I sat back down. My eyes were facing the center of the circle we were sitting in.
"What am I doing to help myself? Well I'm slowly learning about not being in the spot light every time." I told them.
My words came out in a tone that everyone else used. It surprised some people. Though I didn't care at the time. My friends were looking at me with a weird look. Iruka shot me one as well before telling the next person to go. And after that one was another and then another and then another until finally it was the new girl time. Iruka waited some time but she still didn't speak.
"Hinata." Iruka said. She looked up at him with widen eyes. It must have shocked her to hear her name. She gave him a confused look.
"Can you tell us why you're here and what you are doing to help yourself?" he said it slowly as if she had a hearing problem. I knew that Iruka meant well but the way he said it could be taken a different way. Some even snickered. She then looked away from him. But I was still able to see the blush on her face. She then picked up the notepad on her lap and started writing.
"Look she's going to draw us a picture I bet you it's going to be ugly." Karin said. I shot her a glare. She saw it and rolled her eyes in my direction. The sound of Hinata writing stopped and I turned my head to see what it was she wrote.
"I can't speak; it will take time for me to write it though."
The room became a deadly silence. I heard Ino take in a gasp of breath. It was one out of horror. Ino had her hand raised over her mouth. Sakura looked like she pitied the girl and Tenten felt sorry for her as well. Neji was studying her and Sasuke…well Sasuke was off in his own little world. I on the other hand couldn't take my eyes off of her. I couldn't fathom how it would be like not to be able to talk. All those people forgetting you even existed because you couldn't make your presence known with your words. People would just over look you. My heart went out for the girl.
"I see Hinata." Iruka said. There was a frown on his face. I could tell that he two felt sorry for her.
"Don't worry Hinata we can wait."
Right after he said that the bell rung. Hinata looked as though she was happy and hightail it out of the room. I waited for everyone else and we all walked to our next class together. Our next class was art. When we entered the room and sat down in our seat. The teacher, Kana, then told us our assignments,
"Well class today we are going to be drawing someone close to us." She spoke, "I am giving you free range today so you can use anything you want to draw them."
Most of the kids went up to the closet to get something and I was one of them. As I walked to the closet that was in the back of the room I couldn't help but notice that one of the seats was filled. Right there was Hinata sketching something on her canvas. She seemed to be deep in thought as she sketched. I quickly got my stuff and went back to my chair where I told my friends of the new addition to our class. They looked over towards here.
"I feel so salty." Ino said once they all turned around.
We all looked at her.
"I was so upset that she couldn't even say a thank you to me but she doesn't even talk." She explained.
Sakura took this as a moment to comfort her. Tenten probably would have to if she wasn't in a debate with Neji about fate and destiny.
"Don't worry Ino soon you guys will be the best of friends." She told her.
Ino looked up at Sakura with teary eyes.
"You really think so?" She questioned.
"Have I ever been wrong?" Sakura replied. Ino was the first to answer and then the others followed after.
"Nope."
"Never."
"Hn."
"Fate chooses for you to be right."
"You're never wrong!"
"Well there was that one time…"
"You finish that sentence Naruto," Sasuke started, "And I will kill you."
At that moment I chose to look at everyone else. They were all glaring at me. Scratch that all of them but Sakura was glaring at me. She had tears in her eyes that were about to fall out. Going over my words my eyes widen when I realized what I was about to say. This was what Rin was talking about.
"Shit Sakura I didn't mean that." I apologized. She nodded her head at me and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I know Naruto that's just your personality. You speak before thinking sometimes. You can't help it." She said.
I nodded my head but went back to painting my picture. She was making an excuse for my actions. Now I felt salty. I didn't like it when people made excuses for me. They thought that just because of my phobia that whatever I say is just for people to notice me. It's true that I speak before thinking sometimes but she could have at least gotten mad at me. She would have if it was anyone else. It wasn't the first time she or someone else did this.
When the bell rung I left the class faster than they did. My next class was the trio. You know Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi. When I walked into the class I saw someone else there. She had long black hair and emotionless lavender eyes. She looked up at me and gave me a nod before going back to staring off into space. The other saw her movement and turned to look at me.
"There you are boss I was wondering when you would show up." Konohamaru said. The other nodded their heads. The girl looked over at us.
"Why do you call him boss?" She questioned. She was staring at Konohamaru and he was the one who had answered.
"Because he was the one who had gathered Udon, Moegi, and I together. He was also the one who told us that we could get over our phobia if we really tried."
It was then I noticed how much they idolized me. When I had first met them they had each look so down. Why wouldn't they? They were taken away from their families at a young age just to get over a phobia that ruled their life. At the time I was still struggling with my phobia so just seeing them there not paying attention to me made me upset. They didn't know I was there. They knew my name but they didn't talk to me. None of them did. So I did what I always did in a situation like that. I made them notice my presence. It was Konohamaru I had talked to first. After we hit it off I started bring the others into the conversation. I didn't think anything of it at the time. It was just a way for me to stop from having an attack…but I guess it turned out well.
"Boss", the girl muttered. She then looked up at me, her eyes showing no emotion, "you really think we could get over our problem?"
I gave her a nodded.
"Not think I know you can get over it." I told her.
She looked at me for a quick moment before turning away to look somewhere else in the room. A sigh escaped her lips as her face was set in an indifference mask. She sighed one more time before looking back at me.
"You can't miss what you never had right?" She questioned. We nodded our heads. She nodded hers too and then looked back to wherever she was looking at.
"Then I can't get emotions if I never had them."
And with her declaration the atmosphere around us was filled with so much sorrow that you would have had to cut it with a chainsaw and even that would get stuck in the sorrow. Konohamaru was picking something up only to slam it down on the table we were sitting at.
"You know what Hanabi, you can to get emotions because at the moment you are feeling something you just don't realize that you are feeling it." He shouted at her.
Hanabi turned around to face him with widen eyes. It seems as though the only thing the girl could show at the moment was indifference and shock. How much of a life did this girl even live?
"I don't know what happened to you because you never tell anyone anything. Do you honestly believe that everyone is going to turn on you or something? Well newsflash not everyone is like that. Some people honestly give a crap about other people." He looked as though he wanted to say more but stopped. He shot one look to the teacher before leaving the room in a huff.
Hanabi looked even more wide eyed then she did before. She sat there staring at the spot he was just at. She then turned to look at us. Moegi was giving her a look of pity. Udon was looking as though he didn't know how to react. And I…well I was feeling like Konohamaru had finally made a breakthrough…almost…with her.
She gave us one look before taking off toward – I think – Konohamaru. Yes the boy had really made a breakthrough with her. If it was anyone else she wouldn't even have bothered to go after them. This wasn't the first time someone had tried to make her see the light of reason. Yet this was the first time she had showed shock and went after the person who had tried to make her see the light.
"I hope she gets better soon. Lords know what she's been through." Moegi said as she watched Hanabi run out the room. Once again the door closed with a bang. Everyone was staring after them. I even heard some whispers about it. Not wanting them to mess with Hanabi recover I stood up and glared at them.
"I would shut up if I was you." I told them a smile forming on my face, "Or I might just sick Michi, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten on you guys."
That got all of them to stop talking. It was bad enough that I had said I would sick Michi on them. Michi was known for having outburst from time to time and they would usually end with the other person hospital. Though Michi was known for going all out until someone stopped her, Sakura was known for having her superhuman strength, Ino for finding what makes you tick – besides your phobias – and using that to get back at you, and Tenten was known for knowing how to put you to sleep without even trying.
All four of those girls were monster – I mean that in a good way – and just the mere mentioning of their names in a way that implies that they would come after you could make even the toughest person here hesitate for a moment. With all four of them together the toughest person here would run with their tail between their legs.
Like I said they were monsters.
When everyone was back to doing what the teacher told them to do – which I have no idea what it was – I sat back down. Moegi gave me a smile and Udon nodded his head. They agreed. We spent the last few minute of the class just talking randomly. It turns out that her mother had gotten permission from Sarutobi to take her to the spa and by a few clothes for her. Udon was tagging along with them. When the bell rung again waited for them and left the room. We were all going to the lunch room and decided that it would be better to go together.
"Hey guys." I said as I sat down with my food. Moegi and Udon following after.
The others were already there. They muttered a hello back and we all went to eating. Well most of us. Ino was still looking at her food as though it was the plague itself. She then looked over at all of us and gave us her disgusted look. We rolled our eyes at her and continued eating. After a while I got tired of her staring at us and I just had to say something.
"Didn't you promise Lady Tsunade that you would start eating?" I inquired.
She shot me a glare.
"For your information I promised her that I wouldn't throw anything up when I eat. Not that I would start eating." She said.
"Anyway it goes Ino you have to start eating something soon." Tenten said.
Finally I had someone sticking up on me. Ino shot us a wary glance before picking up her spoon. She put it into the mash potatoes we were given and picked it up. She stared at it studying it. We were giving her encouraging glances. She put it close to her face. She opened her mouth and was about to put it in. She froze and put it back down on her plate. Tears were gathering in her eyes.
"I'm sorry guys I just can't do it." She cried.
Sakura moved over to her and put a hand around her shoulder. She rocked both of them back and forth while shaking her head.
"Don't worry Ino you still have tomorrow and the days after that." Sakura said. Ino nodded her head as she started to calm down some.
It was then that we notice how quiet it was in the room. We all turned to see Karin messing with the new girl. Her friends were surrounding her making it so she had no room to escape. I growled at that and glared at her my friends glared at her as well.
"Karin is such a bitch." Tenten stated.
The others – including me – nodded our head in agreement. I wanted to do something. Get up and go over there to stop Karin from torturing the girl any longer. But I didn't. And that surprised me. Naturally I would have been all over going over there and putting Karin and her friends in their place. Not only would that stopping them from messing with Hinata and give Hinata a chance to talk to me but it would also make me the center of attention. Something I would like very much.
But I didn't leave my spot.
For once in my new life, the life living with my phobia, I was scared to become the center of attention. The thought of going up there to tell Karin and her friends off didn't appeal to me. So I stayed in my spot and watch from afar as Karin spoke to Hinata. Every word that made her wince made me flinch. I could feel the eyes of my friends on me again. But I continued to watch the confrontation between Karin and Hinata.
And then Michi came into the picture.
Thank you God. Michi came up to her and put her hand on her head. Even from here I could see the cold glare she had given her. And then she smiled. It was the she had dubbed as "Shi no Tenshi" smile, in other words "Angel of death" smile. It was just her way of warning people that she's getting pissed off and if they continued talking to her then well. Like that name stats, unless someone stops her then she will be the last thing they see in their living life. She had put someone in a coma before.
Karin ran away like a dog with its tail between its legs. The other at the table started laughing at the sight. Karin's friends had to walk quickly to keep up with her. Yep Michi was fucking scary.
"What so funny?"
I turned to see Konohamaru and Hanabi standing there. They put their trays on the table and sat down. Hanabi was back to no emotion on her face yet Konohamaru was grinning widely. They must have had a major breakthrough. Hanabi looked over at Neji and he gave smiled at her. She gave him a nod.
"It's good to see you again. I see fate had decided to grace me with your presence." He said.
Once again Hanabi nodded her head. Konohamaru chose to speak again to get rid of the awkwardness.
"Once again I ask what is so funny."
"Karin was messing with the new girl and Michi scared her away with Shi no Tenshi and whispering something in her ear. She was running away like a dog with its tail between her legs." Tenten explained.
Konohamaru started laughing as he tried to picture it. Hanabi stayed silent. Though she did look around the room. It had gotten louder since Karin left. Most people wanted to watch as Karin tore into someone. They weren't really pleased by her but they mostly wanted to see how the person would react. The first time Karin had tried that shit with me I replied by shouting something back at her. She then tried it with Sakura but Sakura beat her with her crazy strength thus the first appearance of her super human strength. When she did it with Ino, Ino came back a day later with a stuff teddy bear that had Karin name on it. Karin outburst came with the realization that it was in fact her teddy bear. When questioned how she got it Ino say she had connections. Karin tired of how we always got the best of her made one of her friends off on Tenten. His name was Jugo and Tenten put him to sleep faster than you can blink. I don't know how she did it but that shit was awesome. Sasuke got Suigetsu in a fight and Neji got one of them by telling him their future. That guy was so freaked out by it that it actually happened to him.
When questioned later Neji told them never to question the power of fate. It sad what really happened to the boy. If that had happened to me I would probably be the same way. It was quiet again and I was about to eat when I felt someone staring at me. I turned to see Sakura and Ino staring at me. I silently questioned them with a look.
"What happened to you in the group meeting?" Sakura ask.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I quickly retorted. That was probably mistake number one when dealing with Sakura and Ino.
"You know exactly what Sakura is talking about?" Ino said.
"Honestly I don't." I said. Ino and Sakura shared a look.
"Do you need us to remind you?" Sakura ask.
It was at that time everyone else was looking at me. Their attention on me filled me with a sense of pleasure but I still couldn't help but fill uncomfortable with knowing the reason why they were looking at me.
"There is nothing to remind me of since nothing happened." I told them. That was of course mistake number two.
Once again the two of them shared a look. Though Ino wasn't the one who spoke this time. Sakura continued.
"You know when you were telling everyone what your problem is. During the middle of it you sat back down and had a dejected look on your face." she said.
"You also started speaking quieter." Ino added.
I said nothing. It seems as though they were thinking of ways to get me to talk. I really didn't want to talk to them about why I acted the way I did because I know they were going to do something about it. Probably bug Hinata until she talk to me. It was getting quit and that was getting on my nerves. It must have gotten too quiet because Lee started talking.
"DO NOT WORRY MY DEAR SAKURA-CHAN AND INO-CHAN FOR IF NARUTO REALLY WANTED TO TALK THEN HE WOULD." He shouted.
I shot him a grateful look and he returned it with an eye blinding smile. Ino and Sakura continue to stare at me even though Lee told them to stop. They didn't say anything they just continued to stare to let me know that the conversation wasn't over. When the bell rung we got rid of our gotten rid of our trays and headed towards the field. Almost everyone had gym after lunch it was just one of those things. Lee quickly went to race Gai in the obstacle course they had set up. Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Moegi, and some other girls went and started talking. I on the other hand was about to play ball with Sasuke, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Konohamaru, and another boy. And because of losing the rock paper scissors match I was the one who had to go get the ball.
"Hey Naruto-sama." Someone said. I turned around already knowing who it was. Right there was Michi with a smile on her face. I groaned.
"Come on Michi stop with the sama stuff." I said picking up a ball. Her smile quickly turned into a smirk.
"Is it pissing you off?" Sh questioned.
I nodded my head hoping she would see the light of way. Her smirk turned devious.
"Then I shall continue to call you Naruto-sama."
I let out another groan. Michi was fucked up and she likes to mess with people. Thus the reason why she ask me if it was pissing me off. She knew it was she just wanted to hear me say it.
"What if I told you it didn't?" I questioned. She went to pick up a ball the turned to smile at me.
"Then I would tell you that you are lying to me and continue to call you that anyway."
I didn't even stick around to talk to her more. It wasn't that I didn't like her. We did pranks together. But because I could see the way others were staring at me. They were getting impatient and if I waited anymore then they would surly beat me.
The game was a good one. I was pared with Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru against Konohamaru, Kiba, Choji, and that other boy. My team won. Shikamaru with his strategies, me with my shots, Sasuke whit his speed and Neji with his steals. We beat the other team by five points. Of course they challenge us with another game and we agreed that the next time we have gym that we would play again with the same team.
Next class was boring. It was a history class. I often wondered why I was put in this class and after bugging Sarutobi about it for a few years – it too surprised me how long he held on – he told me that my parents signed me up for it. When they had visited me the next time they had told me that they wanted me to learn more about history so when I become a politician just like them then I could know more and help out more.
Let me make this clear I Will Not Become A Politician.
Though no matter how many times I tell them this they never listen.
When the bell rung I hightail it out of the room. There was nothing I hated more than history. The next class was fun. In history I was by myself but this class I have basically with everybody. When I entered I notice I was the last one. Going over to the table with my group, I pulled out a chair and sat down. The others turned to me and greeted me.
"What took you so long?" Kiba asks a smirk on his face.
For what reason I do not have a clue.
"You're forgetting that my history class is all the way on the other side of this place." I told him. He rolled his eyes and the smirk was wiped from his face. The other nodded their heads at me in a form of greeting. I nodded my head back.
"So what did she want us to do?" I questioned.
"She said that since we have a new student that we could have a free day." Sakura said.
I cocked my head to the side. What was she talking about? Was Hinata in this class? One look from Sakura answered my question. She raised a brow afterwards. She was a curious little thing and I would not have her snooping around in my business.
"Hey what do you guys think of her, the new kid I mean?" Sakura questioned never removing her eyes from me.
I stayed quiet.
"She seems nice though I have really talked to her so I don't know." Ino said.
"We have a new student?" Kiba questioned. We all looked at him questioningly like but said nothing. That boy needs to get some common sense.
Sakura turned back to look at me as though she wanted me to add in to the conversation. There was no way I was going to say something. I will stand my grounds and not say a word. Nothing she could do could or would make me participate in this little conversation.
"What do you think about her Naruto?"
Except maybe that. Everyone was quiet when they looked at me. They were giving me their undivided attention. And although I was an athazagoraphobic even I thought the attention they were giving me was too much.
"Stop staring at me if you want me to get better." Half of me wanted to yell at them.
The other half wanted me to go on and on with the mouth telling them exactly what I thought about her. Obviously the former won the battle. I turned to look up to see Hinata staring at me. My heart skipped a beat. It fucking skipped a beat. What am I? Some girl in a romance novel? No, no more skipping of heart beats for me. Yet I couldn't stop looking at her. She was the one who turned away first. There was a blush on her face and I could have sworn I heard a squeak come from her.
"Naruto pay attention." Ino shouted.
I turned around to look back at the group. So far Lee had wrapped Neji and Kiba into a conversation. Sasuke was quiet and Shikamaru was sleeping. Konohamaru was conversing with Hanabi but they would also included Moegi and Udon into the conversation. Ino, Tenten, and Sakura was whispering to each other and then staring at me. Why did Ino call me?
"Now Naruto tell us what your problem is." Ino all but demanded.
See told you they weren't done yet. In fact they probably want to know what was wrong with me even more now than they did before. Of course I wouldn't give in. Nope nothing they could say could make me give in. I shall not tell them.
"It was the new girl Hinata wasn't it."
"Damnit Sakura." I muttered out. She was still able to hear me and laughed. The others caught on and started laughing as well. They then stole a look at each others, nodded their heads, then looked back at me.
"Well Naruto care to explain to us why Hinata affects you so much." Ino questioned a smirk on her face. Naturally I played stupid.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
They glared at me for that.
"Baka you know exactly what we're talking about." Sakura shouted at me. It was then we heard laughter. Turning around we saw Michi's group laughing. My eyes were quickly drawn to Hinata. Her laugh sounded so beautiful. The girl next to Michi, Diamond, said something and they looked horrified.
"Go over there lover boy we all know you want to." Tenten said. That was all the permission I needed to go over there.
"What so funny?" I questioned. I smiled when they all turned to look at me. I knew by now that Michi or Diamond told her about me. And I was okay with that. At least she won't ignore me like she did in first period. Although that probably wasn't her fault. That class was so boring Sakura looked as though she was going to fall asleep. And that's saying something.
"Telling each other's stupid questions or comments we heard." Michi said. She was hopping up and down like an energized bunny on crack. Not caring for their permission I took a chair and sat down. If one of them were to ask why I was sitting down without asking I would just blame my phobia.
Of course Michi would still hit me. Both Michi and Diamond was giving me their undivided attention. I could see Hinata staring at me also but I could also tell her thoughts were focused on other things.
"What have you guys said so far?" I questioned. Then turned their attention from me to Hinata. Hinata stared back at them with a confused expression. Diamond gave her a look and Michi looked as though she was writing something. Realization dawned in her eyes and Hinata started to write something in her notepad. When she was finished she handed it over to me.
Well Michi started off by saying can you cry underwater out of the blue. Then Diamond said how important does a person has to be before they are considered assassinated. Then I wrote if a deaf person has to go to court is it still called a hearing. Diamond made a lame joke about it being called a seeing. Then Michi said if electricity comes from electrons, does morality comes from morons. Then Diamond finished it up with if corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from."
I had read it quickly and then reread it again. Her penmanship was neat and beautiful. Better then everyone i knew of and I knew a lot of people. Maybe because she didn't speak her penmanship grew better so she could better communicate with people. I then finished it for the last time and handed Hinata her notepad back.
"Hey Naruto do you have any?" Michi asks me. I was grateful that she dropped the sama part. Then I flashed them a grin.
"Well if pro is the opposite of con then what's the opposite of progress?"
It took them a moment and then realization showed in their eyes. Then they started laughing. Diamond and Michi was laughing louder than Hinata but that was only because they knew the reason why I said that one. You see my father is actually in charge of this city. Meaning that he's really important and would have to often go place to make treaties with some places. I was often home alone because my mother would go with him and they didn't want me around to mess something up. Thus my phobia was formed. Always being left by yourself because your parents have to go somewhere would make you lonely. Then add the fact that they could be gone for days and some days while they were gone they would forget to call you or check up on you. Then multiply that with the fact that when they do get home from laughing and having a good time wherever they went they would always have this look on their face when they see me like they had just forgotten that I was alive.
I am Athazagoraphobic because my parents forget about me.
"Oh, oh what about this one" Michi said almost launching herself out of her seat "There are three types of people those who can count and those who can't."
It was quiet for a while and then we laughed. The comment was more stupid then funny thus the reason we were laughing. Not at how funny the crap was but at how stupid it was.
"Well at least we know which one Michi is." She huffed and glared at me.
"You come up with a better one Naruto-sama." she said
The others turned to look at me with a weird look before giving one to Michi. They then looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders before looking back at me. Basically they were telling me to explain it. Though I couldn't help but notice the faint blush that was on Hinata's face as she looked at me.
"When I had first met Michi we had gotten into an argument about a certain prank that shall not be named. I won the argument and she had been calling me that ever since."
Diamond gave me a look filled with understanding.
"Oh I can just fill your frustration. A little piece of advice for a month or so act like it doesn't bother you know matter what she says if it doesn't' really bothers the person anymore she would usually give up on it. Unless she actually likes calling you that."
Duly noted.
"Anyway let's see, there are two types of pedestrians, the quick and the dead." I said.
They shook their heads at me and Michi even shouted the words lame. Though I think she only did that because of the comment I gave on hers. I turned to see Diamond giving me a wink and Hinata on the other side was trying to hold in her laughter. I didn't know it if was from what I said or from the action of the other members but her laughing made me smile.
"Okay it's my turn." Diamond said, "Snowflakes are like the most fragile thing in the world...but looks what happens when they stick together."
She had paused in between to build up the suspension and then had said the rest. We took one look at her face and chuckled at the truthiness of her quote. Michi was now jumping up and down again.
"Okay I have one." She said and put on a serious face, "Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you do criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
We laughed and shook our heads at Michi. That girl has problems.
"I seriously thought you were about to say something smart at first." Diamond said, "And then I realized this is you and my expectations went back to normal."
"Hey." Michi shouted at her. Diamond shrugged her shoulders.
"It's the truth no matter how much you want to deny it," Michi huffed and folded her arms.
We laughed again at Michi expression. She gave each of us a look then stuck her tongue out. She was letting us know that she wasn't really made in her own little special way. All throughout the conversation I notice that Hinata didn't contribute at all. And that just won't do.
"Hey Hinata what about you? You have any stupid questions or comments." I ask. She looked at me and blushed bright red before taking her hand - that was shaking - and writing something on her notepad. When she finished she showed it to us.
"You have the right to remain quiet. Anything you do will be misquoted and used against you."
We laughed at the quote. But I was curious. Didn't she feel upset writing that because she doesn't speak? Would a quote like that sort of set her off? Since she looked fine I didn't think anything against it. She looked up at me to see me staring at her again. I gave her another wink and she turned away blushing. That made me chuckled some more. She looks so cute when she does that.
It then seems as though she was shaking a little. Michi and Diamond had entered their own conversation at the moment over animes. Hinata then grabbed her notebook and pencil. After she was finished writing she showed it to me.
"Are they always like this?" She questioned. She was talking about how passionat they had gotten about what the best animes slash mangas were.
"Unfortunately yes they are." I answered. Michi turned to look over at us.
"Why do I get the feeling you guys are talking about me and Diamond." She questioned but there was a smile on her face. Hinata blushed again and looked away from everyone. We – as in Diamond Michi and I – shared a laugh. She really looked cute doing that.
Okay enough with the romantic novel shit. Right then and there the bell rung. I told them my goodbyes and quickly the girls. I met up the others at the door and they practically forced me to come with them to the rec room. Well it wasn't so much as force as me saying no once then agreeing to go. After the rec room I went back to my room and waited for lights out.
My dreams stareda little girl with bluish black hair and lavender eyes. Not even the sounds of screaming could keep me up. Yep I entered a romantic novel.
Me: What do you guys think. The tittle for this chapter was somewhat of a joke if you caught it. Instead of hearing her voice I had seeing her handwriting because...well Hinata doesn't talk. She could but - and i think i put this in here - she doesn't want to talk and the doctors didn't really know that fact - or they didn't care I haven't decided yet - they said she was a mute and she stuck with it.
Naruto: You made me an Athazagoraphobic. (Fear of being forgotten or abandon)
Me: Yeah I've been thinking about your phobia It was either being afraid of doctors and hospital or this. Well as you can see this won.
Naruto: But why Athazagoraphobic?
Me: Simple in the manga/anime you were ignored for having the kyuubi in you so I just used that and made a story up for that. Anyway what did you guys think about Naruto story. I think i could have made it better somehow or used something completely different but this was the think that popped into my mind and once it was there every other way seemed sort of wrong.
