I have returned! huzzah! T'is a merical! Anyway (happppyyyyy)
Chapter VI
There was an awkward silence about this room. I'd nearly killed the doctor before I got stitched up. I saw the needle and freaked out, hitting and flailing and I ended up punching him in the throat. It kind of scared the nurses but they managed to hold me down.
So here we were, ready to leave, but we hadn't moved from our spots quiet yet.
"So how do you feel?" Naruto asked, finally breaking the silence.
"A little sick, a little freaked out" Kiba answered.
Naruto glared at him. "Not. You." he mumbled, the question being clearly for me.
As for me, I didn't answer, I felt I didn't need to seeing as I displayed how I felt more than an hour and a half ago.
"...So you guys wanna get the fuck outta this hospital room?" Kiba asked.
Again, I never answered. I simply got up and walked out of the room with out so much as a peep. I made sure no one came on the elevator with me. I hate riding with other people, I get nervous for no reason. I waited at the car for the boys to show up. After 5 minutes, finally I saw Kiba walk out behind one of the cars.
"Um, Naruto took the stairs, something about, needing the exercise or something.." He mumbled quickly, once he reached me. "He gave me the keys so.. If you wanna sit in the car.." He offered. I shook my head no, keeping my eyes on the pavement, and sitting down on the trunk. Kiba sat down beside me. "Y'know, he really does feel horrible about this.." He said smiling. "And I kinda do too.. I don't know why, but I have this sketchy feeling that I'm part of this. It is kinda my fault for leaving you at the table." I smiled too, I couldn't help it, his smile was contagious. Finally after what seemed like forever, Naruto slowly made his way over.

I made Naruto sit in the front. I told him I wanted to lay down, and after some slight arguing about whether I should be by myself or not, he sat in the front.
"You going home then?" Naruto asked, turning to face me. I opened my eyes staring at the roof of the car, and shook my head.
"I want to go to school" my voice hurt and I had a sort of lisp, because my lip was still numb. I didn't hear myself so I wasn't sure if I'd actually said anything inthe first place.
"I think you should go lay down" Kiba said, monotone, but still looking at me in the rear view mirror the best he could. I avoided his eyes. I got really nervous when I did and now was definatly not the time, not to mention Naruto was right there beside him.
"I am laying down" I replied half heartedly.
"I guess so.." He pouted. He readjusted his mirror so he could see the other cars.
"But you need to relax with out falling asleep." Naruto finished Kibas sentance. "I'm staying with you tonight seeing as you need to be checked on every two hours, okay?" Not like he really gave me much of a choice did he?- Oh snap. I'm starting to sound like old logical Shino! Gah! Curse you medicine!
"Just take me to school, please" I pleaded sitting up. I forced my attention out of the window as if to say; 'I dare you to defy me' with a hint of 'Don't you dare reply to me'. A rather amusing combination, if you ask me. It cancelled its self out, really.. Anyway.
We drove past the front of the school. The kids were gone now, thankfully. Third class hadn't let out yet so I had time to make it to last period with out getting in much trouble. I just had to sign myself in...
"Dude Sasuke is gonna shoot me" Naruto laughed pathetically, attempting to make small talk to Kiba. I mean, they WERE friends after all. Even though they weren't close friends, boys will always manage to strike up a conversation with each othe some how, right girls?
"Whys that?" Kiba asked, pulling into the parking lot.
"Dropped his ipod going down the stairs, fell 3 sets." Naruto mumbled, sheepishly. I smiled a little, Sasuke was the type of kid to freak out of anything of his technical/electronic things getting hurt in the least bit.Yes, this boy was hard core.
"You got his iPod? How'd you manage that impossible feat?" Kiba laughed.
"I asked him yesterday if I could borrow it, I've had it since" Naruto smiled. Kiba eye'd him.
"...And he just... gave it up? Just like that?" He asked, grinning to himself. Naruto flushed.
"He's my best friend, man. He totally owed me!" He rushed out.
"I'll bet he did." Naruto punched his arm for that. The car jerked left. Kiba laughed and pulled into an empty spot close to the schools side doors. "You okay to go to class?" Kiba asked, once we reached the doors. I nodded and smiled. Naruto hugged me, and kissed my cheek, making sure not to hit my stitches. It didn't hurt anymore, since I'd been poking at them the whole drive... I probably wasn't supposed to. No doubt they'd probably end up infected.
So, like I said, I headed to the office. I decided I should tell them why I wasn't in last class before they decided to call my drill instructor- sorry, I mean Dad. Along the way I thought back to today. Naruto was awfully feely, and touchy today. Maybe I hurt him when I yelled at him? I don't know. Maybe it's just a boy thing? I wish I knew. Maybe it's a Naruto thing?

I stood at the desk waiting to be adressed. I decided to stop at my locker before going to the office to make it seem like I wasn't skipping. I mean really. Was I? Pft of course not. I was.. helping others realize their faults. No seriously I was. I shit you not, just ask Naruto. He has a painful reminder on his face. Man was the bruise showing nicely. I felt a little bad. I hadn't noticed that I hit him that hard until I passed him at his locker and I said I'd see him after school. He walked me to my locker.
I looked over and noticed two people sitting in the waiting chairs, a girl and a boy. The girl was hiding behind her bright pink hair. Frankly, she reminded me of Sakura. Talk about scary. She was acting angsty and drawing on her binder, leaning away from the boy. I looked at the boy. He had a black faux hawk. It was kinda cool. He looked up at me and started glaring at me. I quickly looked away.
"What're you lookin' at?" the boy ask in a mutter.
"No, I- um.. It.. I've never seen you here before.." I replied quietly. Well hey- it was true.
"Good. I hope you dont have look at me, I'm a horrible person. I'm one of the exchange students, from Germany. I'll rip out your insides and feed them to my snake." He shot.
"Ooookay..." I said awkwardly. Okay, this guy was now officially weird
"I'm here on exchange" he added.
"Oh." I replied. My god get me out of here, please!
"This one here is one to, but who she is and where she's from, I couldn't tell you. She won't talk to me. She keeps giving me the finger." He pointed to the girl beside him. She was angerly stabbing her binder with her pen. "My name's Zaku." He finished and went back to picking at the things on the bulliten board behind them.
"I-..I'm Hi-"
"Miss Hyuuga. I've been waiting for you." The principal cut me off, and signaled me over to his office. My stomach turned.
"Someones in deep shit" Zaku sang quietly, so only me and the creepy girl could hear it. I walked over to the office and stood in the door.
"Come in. And close the door." He said, sounding angry. I was totally scared.
"Yes sir?" I asked, my voice faltered only a little.
"It has come to my attention, that you Ms.Hyuuga," He stopped to pick up a pen that he'd dropped. My hands were getting sweaty and my throat went dry. "Have signed up for Students helping students," He smiled. I mentally relaxed, but kept my outter appearence the same.
"Uh, yes sir." I said. Okay, when did I sign up? GRADE 9! uhg. It takes them 2 years to finally let me help?
"We only take exceptional students" He said. Great he's saying I was to stupid in grade 9 and 10. "and seniors." and theres the cherry on top of my cake. I was still stupid. But now I'm old. "Unfortunatly you have to be both to be in S.H.S. " ...Oh really? ..My bad. "So even though you signed up in grade 9 we couldn't ask you until this year." He smiled. I smiled back. I felt like an ass.
"You will be taken from this periods class for the next week or two, to help some exchange students accomadate for the year. Have you met them yet?"
"Well, I saw them outside, sir. But we didn't really talk much." true story.
"Ah, good." He said turning to his desk drawers, searching through them.
"Is it just those two, sir? Or is there more students arriving?" I asked thinking back to the two I saw minutes ago. I hoped not, those two freaked me out enough.
"Oh, of course not, the other students have been split up amongst the others who have signed up, that haven't graduated. The whole 6 of you." He pulled a file out of his desk. "Only 13 exchange student this year though.. So I've spilt you up equally"
"But sir, that would mean everyone got... 2 and.. a 167th of a person.. that doesn't make sence." I replied. Thank god I'm good a division! God bless my smart assed remarks!
"Indeed it would Ms.Hyuuga." He smiled. The man made no sence, honestly. First it's equally, now its not. I'm so confussed.
"But some student are missing today, you see we only had; You, Kada Tate, Sakura Haruno, Jade Laurentien, Kiba Inuzuka and Temari Sandanato sign up. Up untill now, you were missing, but we've still yet to find Ms.Sandanato, so we gave Sakura and Jade another person, and Kada another two people. We thought Kiba was M.I.A too, but he showed up a few minutes ago too. We could only give him one student though, he was last to sign up.
"Stange, he isn't one to miss shool," He sighed. I think Kiba is one of his prized pupal. I think me, Jade and Kada are too... Gosh what an awkward thought. Kiba's not exactly an alterboy at church if you kow what I mean.. But I suppose I don't know him that well either. Who am I to say if he is or isn't? I'm just running on crush fluid. Everyone thinks their crush is different then they really are. Unles of course you know them personally.
"Um, he was with me sir." I blushed. He snapped his attention up to me. I slapped my self inwardly, damn that sure sounded dirty..
"And uh.. Where were you?" He asked eyeing my suspicously.
"Him, Naruto and myself were at the hospital, sir..." I smiled sheepishly.
"What ever for?" His attitude changed, and his well hidden accent shown through.
"Um.. just a minor misconception between subejct of uh... high intrest. I'm glad to inform you I stood my post and faught till...uh ..victory." That sounded stupid. I know. "But as poorly as it was handled," I continued. "It was unorthodox, and unethical on my.. uh, part. ..thing. And for that, I apologize, sir." I racked my mind trying to find a confusing way to say that I started a fight over nothing. -Not saying Naruto is nothing, but I jumped to conclusions like always, and it was stupid of me. I just hoped my principal wouldn't look to much into it..
"Oh. alright then." He smiled. Oh he knew. Damn he's good. But I'm glad he didn't push on it. "And this.. Naruto, would be?" He asked, and raised an eyebrow.
"...Naruto Uzumaki, sir."
"Yes, yes.. Mr.Uzumaki, his mother used to work at the art museum.. Naruwasaga I believe her name is.." He trailed off mumbling to himself. I had no idea what his moms name was. Mine died and so did his, we found it easier to ignore the subject of mothers. But that's one thing that annoys me about people. I hate when people name their kids after them. I should know. My dad did it to me, and my little sister, and my uncle did it to my cousin.Yuck.
'Uh ohh!!' I mused in my head. 'Someones got the hots for Toto's mommy!' I smiled to myself. Wait.. Toto? The wizard of Oz referance?!? Where am I coming up with these names?! I seriously nee-
He cleared his throat, knocking me from my self noting. "Where were we?" He asked.
"The exchange students sir." Ah the principal.. so gullable.
"Yes, right.." He smiled. He knew again! How does he do it? "Well the other students have gone to empty classrooms, the library or taking the student on a school tour. What's your plan of action?"
"Uh.. I donno, I guess we'll go to an empty classroom for a little About me type thing.."
"Right then," He stood up, and striaghtened his jacket. "Let's go find you a classroom." He led the way out of the room.

Huffing, Kiba ran towards his class, and whipped the door open. "Sorry I'm late ma'am!" He rushed, sitting in his chair.
"Quiet alreight dear, you're wanted at the office anyways. They said to take your things too." Kurenai smiled and pushed him out of the room by the back of his head.
"Damn.. touchy woman." He scowled. Quickly he set off towards the office.
"So I'm sorry about Ino.." A voice around the corner said. Kiba stopped and leaned against the wall.
"Yeah don't worry about it. It's my fault." Hinata said quietly.
"Why the frig did you start shit with her? You must've known that she'd jump you" Naruto asked quietly back.
"I don't know what I was thinking at the time.." Hinata was whispering now.
"Well.. next time can you just tell me when you're mad at me? I'd rather you yell at me with you cousin or dad around or something than getting mixed up in trouble and stuff. You're not a troublemaker. Ino wasn't worth fighting. Seriously babe. I'd rather you beat me to peices then get hit by her." The hall went quiet. Hinata didn't respond, though Naruto was waiting for one. He sighed.
"Just promise me that okay?" He asked. She nodded. He hugged her. "C'mon I'll walk you to your locker." they headed down the hall. Kiba stepped fully into the hallway. He stared at Narutos back. He didn't know howmuch he really liked her. Kiba looked at the ground biting the inside of his lip. He felt guilty for thinking that Naruo only used her. Continually staring at the ground, he made his way to the office.
"Hey shorty" He heard someone call from behind him. He looked over at the waiting chairs. There sat two people. A guy, staring at the ceiling, headphones blarring, and a girl, quietly drawing in her notebook with "deathnote" written onthe front. He sighed. He'd seen a few around before. Only the anime kids had them though. He wanted one. He thought they looked cool, but when he asked the kids had shunned him and started talking in a different language laughing at the end.
He shook his head, it wasn't them. He turned again, only to be met with a familiar face grinning back at him.
"Did you miss me?" He smiled a menicing smile. He couldn't help but smile back and hug him.

"So then, this is your classroom. Please refrain from demolishing it" Mr. Abcril ushered us in, so he could close the door.
"Don't forget miss. A firm backbone creates the economy!" He whispered before leaving. Whatever that ment...
"Man oh man, is it good to stand..." Zaku stretched and rubbed his eyeliner covered eyes. He toppled over onto two desks. "And now its good to lay down" He sighed and grinned childishly to no one. Now I understood what Mr. A was talking about.
"Let's start with your Name, age and where you go to school" I said sitting at the front of a desk. They sat infront of me; Zaku sat atop the desk beside mine, and the angsty girl sat across from me at my desk. They stared at me, it was a minute before I clued in.
"Oh! Right... My name is Hinata Hyuuga" I started. I was beginning to wonder if the angsty girl spoke, or could understand english.
"YES! THAT RHYMES WITH FAJITA!" Zaku smiled in his little dream world.
"Yeah, anyways, Im 16 and go to this boring school, O.S Peyton. Now, who's next?" I managed to say it all in monotone.
"I'm Zaku Abumi-"
"THAT RHYMES WITH HAKU!" I cut in, mocking him.
"That is SO uncool! Haku was an evil dude in a history book! Do not relate me to him!!!" He cried at me. "Anyway.." he mocked me back. "Im 17, and go to Gavrilo Princip High."
"Nice to meet you .. Zaku" I said half heartedly. He just stuck his tounge out.
"What about you?" I turned to the angsty girl. She looked down, further, and scowled. "C'mon, you gotta say something!" I smiled thinking maybe that would help get the angstyness out of her.
"My name is Tayuya" She mumbled really fast.
"Alright, keep talking... but speak up" Zaku smacked her on the back. I frowned at him. He just raised an eyebrow challenging me to an imaginary war.
"Sorry Tayuya. Zaku is playing nicely. Or atleast trying to.."
"Tay!" She replied quickly.
"Huh? Day?..?" Quinn asked turning away from our staring contest.
"Tay" She corrected him. "...my name..." she mumbled. "My friends c-call me... Tay.." she smiled.
"Alright then, Tay, what else should we know?" I pushed. I'm a hypocrite I know.She doesn't know I hate talking to people I don't know, so why should I lead on? I'm doing fine. But I'm trying to get this girl to talk and believe it or not, its working!
"Yeah, like your age.. last name, phone number, cell number, billing information, PIN number... Bra size if your feeling really courageous!" Zaku giggled and pulled out some paper and a mechanical pencil.
"Zaku!" I hissed, and took them away from him. I'm glad he was getting used to us so quickly... not.
"What! I'll give you my pants size if you want! Jeez" He laughed. "Just trying to help!" He was still smiling to himself when he added that, in his defense. I as about to reply, but Tay beat me to it.
"My last name.. is Grayson," She looked up at us. She was so pale, her brown eyes looked black.. It was kinda creepy in a cool way. She moved her hair out of her face exceot one part of her bangs. I had to admit she was prettier then me...
Even with my constant change of make up techniques, I cant beat that!...Stupid pale eyes.. theyre so useless I swear it.
"And I go to Sacred Garden... It's in Palatine" she looked back down at her drawing again.
"Isn't Palatine the city of love?" Zaku asked me in all seriousness.
"No that Paris" I said back with respect towards him this time.
"Oh.. so then it is the city for sexing it up!" he smiled proudly.
"NO. Palatine, is one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome." I told him, seriously.
"Damn it.. Dosu is so dead..." He mumbled to himself, and blushed for sounding stupid.
"And who is Dosu?" I asked.
"My B-...best friend" he fell quiet. Jeez, I bring depression on people about their best friends a lot... Note to self: Stop doing that!
"So anyway!" Zaku smiled randomly. I could tell he was faking it, but from what I could tell so far.. Happy Zaku is better then depressed Zaku.
"What about you Tay?" I asked. Damn it.. my slownessis a pain somedays..
"His name is Sakon." She replied quickly. "He's here too, but he got some guy..." I noticed her glaring at her picture. "He said something about 'old friends' and 'unfinished business'. I don't really care.. but he totally ditched me!" I'd hate to be Tays pen right now, shes about to break it!
Tay looked up at me and for some reason my stomach sank. "How about yourself?" she asked. Suddenly I felt afraid to answer.
"Uh.. you'll meet him later.." I tried to change the subject, but I didnt get to far.
"Him eh?" Zaku perked up. "A girl like you has a... boyfriend?" He giggled.
"Yes." I blushed.
"Is he hot?" Tay asked, looking up. Quickly she covered her mouth and blushed.
Zaku laughed. "So yeah... is he hot?" He asked. The two of them laughed while I just sank into my seat. The rest of the period went like that. Until the bell rang.
We got up and headed to my locker.

"Okay so I'll meet you guys at the library after the lunch bell goes." I smiled wlaking out to the busses. I looked around for people on my bus.
"What bus do you guys have?" I asked.
"I take 4..5..06" Tay replied.
"Ouch. That ones the last bus to show up, so it'll be the last in line." I told her. "And you?" I turned to Zaku.
"2537. Check it" He replied, shoving his timetable with his bus number in my face.
"Oh greeeeeeeeeaaatt, We share a bus!" I sang sarcastically.
"Aww! All more fun!" Zaku grinned.
"Save me.." I mouthed to Tay. She smirked.
"Hey! I saw that!" Zaku pouted.
"Suck it up princess" I smiled, and walked into the parking lot. Zaku and Tay followed. I scoped the place, until I spotted someone I knew that was taking Tays bus. Unfortunatly...
"There's my friend!" Tay and I said pointing to the same area.
"W-what?" Tay asked. "That's Sakon.." She stared at the girls sadly.
"And that's..."
"Sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy" Zaku sang, as if to finish my sentance. But thats far from ehat I was thinking..
Crazy.. let's do something maybe. Please don't take your time you got me right where you want me. Oh yes I went there. Jesse McCartney been the source of motivation recently.
