If horror movies had thought her anything, it's that you should never go up the scary cobwebbed stairs, especially if you think it's calling out to you. The sound of the door closing behind her should have been a good reason to leave, but she stayed.

The path was dark and the climb was high, using the wall as her guide. After climbing the stairs for what felt like a half-hour now, she stopped, when she noticed light creeping through a slightly opened door. For a second she paused. The old saying goes that curiosity killed the cat, though as she began to push open the door, quietly peeking inside, she was glad she had thrown caution to the wind, or else she would never have seen this.

The room was wide, with round walls, and a high pointed ceiling. At the point where Hinata was standing, were stairs that followed the wall, as it spiralled around the room coming to a stop at one of the four large medieval-like windows above.

The room had a large round table in the middle with four chairs. On one side of the room hung dozens of picture frames, all of which were different types and sizes. All the pictures seemed pretty old, but happy ones, as they were filled with different people, but all with smiling faces. On the other side of the room was a large wide curved bookshelf, and as Hinata took a step closer her jaw dropped.

"Are all of these...first edition books? The Catcher in the Rye, The War of the Worlds, and the full collection of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!? All in just about mint condition." Hinata hugged the Moby Dick book she still had in her hands. "I'm home."

As Hinata stood in that quiet room, surrounded by some of the world's most famous books, she couldn't help but relax. Suddenly a thought came to her mind, "Chances are this place isn't visited often." She said to herself as she ran her finger along an extremely dusty table. "I wonder how long it would take for someone to find me if I choose to disappear here."

Suddenly an image of Sasuke popped into her head, as she couldn't help but laugh. "I bet that idiot would. But really, how the hell did he even find me yesterday? And to not even catch a cold after searching in all that rain." She shook her head. "You'll never change."

Though her heart sank when she began to think of her blond-haired crush, as the thought of Shion with her arms wrapped around him made the feeling even worse. 'What kind of monster forgets about their own brother?'

"Grandfather was the one who made me forget."

'That sounds like an excuse.'

"It's true."

'If you truly loved your brother you would have never forgotten!'

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" She yelled as she slammed her fist hard on the table, she hadn't raised her voice that load since...well since ever.
