Naruto

"Naruto Uzumaki, please come down to the office. Naruto Uzumaki, please come down to the office. Thank you."

I glanced at the speakers once the voice ended. Hinata was right, they do want me. They've probably been checking my attendance. How great. Detention.

After deciding that it's probably best to check out what they want so I won't get into any more trouble, I rise from my seat, also grabbing my new book that I had already checked out to bring with me.

As I arrived at the office door, I very slowly turned the handle–wanting to take up time, for I didn't want to be in there–and pushed my way inside.

What I saw, was a man with dark brown hair, and eyes much like Hinata, standing beside the office desk which the principle sat in. The man whom I don't recognize stared at me coldly, making me feel uncomfortable.

"Naruto," Ms. Tsunade greeted, "come, take a seat."

"Am I in trouble?" I asked wearily.

She chuckled softly. "You would be stupid to think you aren't, boy. You've skipped all your classes that you should have attended to."

I lowered my head. "About that..."

"No, I don't want to hear your reasoning. But as you can see, Mr. Hyūga would like to speak to you in private. So, I respect his wishes and I hope for you to do as well." She glanced at me one last time before standing up and leaving the room–the lavender eyed man and I the ones left remaining inside the enclosed office.

Mr. Hyūga walked over to the principle's desk chair, and sat down. His emotionless eyes seemed to pierce right into my soul, causing my body to involuntarily sit up straight.

"W-What is it that you would like to speak about, s-sir?" I stammered.

His eyes hardened–I think. "I've heard that you have been spending some time with my daughter."

"Hinata?"

"No, Hanabi."

I blinked.

"Yes, of course Hinata!"

He paused, sighing in deeply.

"I want to waste as little time with you as possible, so I will cut to the chase." He said meeting my eyes again. I wanted to look away so much, but it was as if I couldn't. They had me in a deadly trap. "Stay away from Hinata."

My eyes widened. "W-What?! No! Not you too!"

He looked at me confusedly.

"What is it that you don't like about me?" I asked softly.

He seemed to stop, thinking over my question. His fingers tapping against the wooden desk. Soon, I even found myself tapping my fingers as well. I was trying hard to be patient. But I am not very patient at all.

He finally spoke.

"Everything."

"Huh?"

His eyes glared right into my own, and I shrunk a little. "I don't like everything about you."

"And it took you that long to answer?"

Ignoring my last remark, he began to list what 'everything' was. "You are just like most teenage boys. Chasing after innocent girls. And that innocent girl right now is Hinata. Also, I might add, you are very dangerous. Who knows exactly what could happen to my daughter if she were to get closer to you. You are also failing your classes. All except Reading and Gym, which I don't understand but will not question." He paused. "Naruto Uzumaki, I know your past. And I know what you are apart of. What that means is that that is not what my daughter needs. So, I want you to end your friendship with her. That isn't an option, either."
