Chapter 4

Nobu woke up to shuffling under her. As she opened her eyes, she was met with Ben trying to get out from under her, without waking her.

"Mornin Ben." She mumbled sleepily.

"Morning sleepy head." He chucked as she sat up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. He tried to look at them but failed as she hid them behind her fringe once more.

"Say, why do you hide your eyes?" he asked out of sheer curiosity.

"Just cause." She said standing up. She doesn't exactly like being asked about her eyes. When she was a kid, she showed them but everyone called her monster because of them and now she is really self-conscious about them.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." Ben said grabbing her wrist, stopping her from walking away.

"Don't worry about it. I just don't like people seeing them." Nobu explained as she freed her wrist and left for her room.

Ben felt like he had hurt her by asking, but didn't really know what to do to make up for it.

He liked her, she was an interesting person and as the more he got her to open up to him the more of her little antics he found fun.

After getting himself ready he went downstairs again to have breakfast.

"Jeffery could you please go wake Nobuki up for breakfast?" Slendy asked as he nodded and left to get her.

As Jeff got to her door, he went to knock on it but it opened before he could touch it and Nobu ran into him then fall backwards. Jeff was just in time to catch her before she hit the floor.

"Thank you." She said holding onto his white hoodie. Jeff pulled her to her feet and smirked down at her.

"You should really watch where you're going." He teased playfully.

"Well I'm sorry but I didn't think I'd run into you in front of my door." She shot back. "What do you want?"

"Aren't we just a ball of sunshine?" he asked sarcastically as he crossed his arms.

"You can sarcasm. Good boy." She teased back smirking, patting his head as she stood on her tiptoes.

"Wow. You can reach all the way up here or are you just using a ladder?" he shot back.

"I manage just fine, your just a giraffe." She giggled at his surprised expression. "What? Did you think you're the only one that has a good come back?"

"Feisty. I like it." Jeff smirked.

"Good for you. Can I leave now?" Nobu asked trying to go around him but he didn't let her.

"Nope." He smirked, standing in the doorway, arms stretched out to block her path.

"Jeeefff." She whined slumping her shoulders, starting to get annoyed and quick.

"Nooobuuu." He playfully mimicked her, not moving an inch. Enjoying this way too much. He has to admit this is fun.

"I'm hungry. Get out the way." She groaned not being in the mood for this.

"Aww. Too bad. Make me." He smirked down at her now very much pissed off face.

"Move you fuck!" She shouted trying to push past him but he just pushed her back.

"Language Nobuki." He said imitating Zalgo.

Nobu frowned and Jeff smirked down at her but let his guard down, she grabbed him by the front of his hoodie and rammed her knee into his stomach.

He fell to the floor clutching his hurt stomach as she ran past him and down the hall.

Nobu ran into the dining room and greeted everyone with a cheery smile, like she didn't just kick someone in the stomach like five seconds ago.

"Where'd you leave Jeff?" Masky asked her as she sat down.

"Um . . ." she started but was interrupted by Jeff's angry yell.

"Nobu! I'm gonna fucking kill you!" he shouted running down the stairs.

"What did you do?" EJ asked alarmed. Nobu giggled grinning and jumped up as Jeff entered the dining room.

"There you are!" he looked pissed as he walked towards her with a knife in his hand.

"Come on, don't be a sore loser." Nobu snickered as she jumped out of the way of Jeff's knife.

"I'm gonna kill you." He said angrily before Masky held him back and Hoodie took the knife from him.

"What happened?" Slendy walked in demanding answers, as Masky shrugged and looked at Nobu.

"Hey, don't look at me, he started it." She said with a shrug as she sat back down.

"I'm gonna get you, just you wait." Jeff said with a frown, though you can't really see cause of the carved smile.

"Have fun with that." She said with a mocking grin.

"Why you . . ." he said struggling against Masky's grip.

"Enough. Tell me what happened." Slendy said as Jeff calmed down ad Masky let go of him.

"She kicked me in the stomach." Jeff pointed at Nobu angrily.

"You blocked my way out of my room." Nobu retorted.

"Jeff don't play with her, and Nobu don't just attack people, give them a warning then strike." Slendy said as he went back to the kitchen.

"Got it." She called as she grabbed a couple of pancakes, spreading Nutella in them she happily munched on them.

"What? You gonna let her get away with it?!" Jeff shouted after Slendy in disbelief.

"She has a lot on her hands right now and you provoked her." He shouted back from the kitchen.

Nobu couldn't help but snicker in her seat.

"Shut up." Jeff scoffed.

"Make me." She mimicked his earlier words.

"Oh, gladly." Jeff said coming at her again. Having finished her pancakes she jumped up out of harm's way. Jeff chased her around the table as the others just laughed amused, no one trying to stop them.

"They're going to be best friends, I can see it." Clockwork said amused.

"Oh really? I bet they'll end up as lovers." Masky said, smirking under his mask.

"I bet that they'll end up rivals." Hoodie said smiling under his mask.

"How much you wanna bet?" she asked with a smirk.

"£10" the boys said.

"Deal." She grinned.

Nobu tripped on a chair leg and fell on her face as Jeff couldn't stop in time and fell on top of her.

"Get off you moron!" Nobu shouted, trying to get out from under him.

"No." he said stubbornly.

"Jeff my wound!" She said panicking as she felt it stretch. "If you open them, I'll kill you."

He jumped up quickly not actually wanting to hurt her.

"*sigh* better." She said as she lay there as she closed her eyes.

Jeff turned her on her back and pulled her hoodie and tank top up to look at her wound. She didn't notice until the cold ait hit her stomach. She snapped her eyes open and with a scream jumped to her feet.

"What do you think you're doing?" she shrieked pulling her hoodie down.

"Chill. I just wanted to make sure your wound was ok." Jeff explained with his hands up in surrender.

"Ask before pulling someone's shirt up you perv." She hugged herself defensively, a dark blush dusting her cheeks.

"Sorry, sorry. Cool tattoo by the way." He said standing up and smirking.

"What?" she asked confused.

"The wolf's paw print on your right hip?" he said pointing to the area.

"Oh yea, that. Thanks, I love my tattoos." Nobu grinned.

"Wow. Are you bi-polar?" Toby asked coming up beside her.

"Yea. But it's funny. It confuses people." She laughed.

"You have another tattoo? Can I see?" Jeff asked all exited.

"Sure." She smiled and pulled up the sleeve on her left arm, revealing a swirly pattern on her wrist.

"Awesome. Did it hurt?" he asked fascinated, poking it.

"No. I'm good with pain." She grinned pulling her sleeve back down.

Later as everyone left for school, Nobu decided to practice on her new electric guitar, as she had nothing better to do.
