When Beauty Tamed the Beast

The "Beast"

Hinata watched as the trickster before her tried dragging her through the front door.

"Wait a minute!" she yelled.

While stilling having a tight grip on the girl's wrist, Tenten turned her head around. "Yes? Problem?"

"Y-you can't just drag me in there?!" Hinata said, a bit uncertain.

"And why is that?"

Hinata racked her brain for a few seconds before answering. "Because, I'm practically unwanted."

That, she knew for sure.

Tenten stared, slowly letting go of her wrist. "You're right." the brunette started on her way through the large front door of the mansion, before leaving a crack open her voice trailing off, "..but if anything happens, I give you permission to blame me..." she finished with a cocky tone.

Hinata stared blankly at the spot where the girl was standing just moments ago. She quickly rushed towards the entrance and made her way inside, but the girl was nowhere in sight.

She disappeared.

Taking a few inches forward, Hinata glanced at her surroundings, looking left and right for any trace of a person.

But none.

The house was dimmed, almost dark, not to mention it was still daylight outside. All curtains blocking any trail of sunlight from entering the large home, not that there were many windows to begin with.

"H-Hello..?"

The door suddenly closed behind her with a loud bang, jumping, she snapped her head back, still, seeing no one in sight. Now she frantically searched her surroundings a second time.

Frightened, she raced towards the door, trying to open it, but to no avail. Yanking and pulling at it hoping that it would help.

Deep breaths Hinata.

She slowly walked away from the door, the hardwood floor creaking with each step. Calming herself down, she made sure to be more alert. Her footsteps echoed in the large room, and soon her feet tapped on the blood, red carpeted stairs; the rug subduing any sounds.

Towards the bottom of the steps stood Naruto's froends, creeping off to the side, making their appearances go unnoticed by their visitor.

Not even bothering to stop her, they let Hinata wander off on her own, hoping that things wouldn't turn out badly.

~•*•~

Quieting footsteps made the long hall sound so loud. Each echo trailing in the air with a prolonged sound that seemed never-ending. Another creak from the floorboards made her flinch. She felt trapped in a maze.

I don't even know where I'm going.

She stopped in her tracks, the low tapping silenced.

What am I even doing here?

At first she thought that she was looking for her friend, but now she knows that she's just being nosey.

As if realizing that didn't make matters worse, she found herself continuing down her path noticing a faraway door.

Once she reached the door, she peaked through. Curiousity getting the best of her, she opened it. The squeak in the hinges were so loud, it given her the sense that it was an alarm.

Squiggling her slim body through the crack, avoiding making anymore sounds, she entered the room.

She glanced around, noticing a large bed, and near it was a pile of books, scattered on the floor.
