Death in Vain [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 15: Bruises

Sasuke's POV

I went home as I could sense all the girls staring at me desperately. I just ignored how they creepily looked at me. What are they anyway?  Ghosts from the ouija board that continuously follow me? I don't think so.

Yeah right. they're just not on their right mind in the time being. I grunted while passing through the wave of stupid fangirls and headed straight towards home without any stops.

As I reached the compound, the smell of an antoxicating aroma of tomatoes filled my nostrils making me drool hard. I fixed myself abd quickly installed my stoic features.

Without emotions, I went inside the compound, somehow... The door itself wasn't locked. I slipped in the door swiftly with much ease and agility.

I walked to the kitchen without any sound but found no one there in particular. I only saw a plate with four takoyakis. There were two tomato takoyakis and two custard ones. I guess she had nothing to do. She might've finished packing already. I grabbed the two tomato takoyakis as I stucked one on my mouth like a kitten. I admit, she does cook fine homemade food.

I went to my room and grabbed some of my kunais, paper bombs, daggers and Itachi's katana that he left when he was still here. Maybe I'll encounter him when we start this mission. After packing, I put the katana on the side and put the small bag on my waist.

We were going off tomorrow as soon as possible. I had nothing to do and I'm not on the mood to train myself. I think I've already had too much fun with the other two weirdos.

Soon, I heard shouting on the background. It somehow came from the judo. My curiosity soon devoured me as it moved my body involuntarily. With that, I saw a girl with pale-lavender orbs reflecting the light of the moon, midnight-violet hair shinning over the dim-lit room, wearing a white training uniform quickly hugging her body as the spotlight towered upon her like she was the only light illuminating the darkness of the room.

She was dancing like a robin, gliding like a nightingale, protective like a flamingo, perfect like a peacock. She was so perfect and I just watched her every move like a lone raven.

Soon, she noticed my presence as we connected eye contact. Yet, this Hyuga didn't smile for me. I felt a depressed chakra engulfing her body and setting her heart to ignite.

She was frowning and all I could do was stare at her. Soon, I had enough of the awkward moment and spoke while breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Hyuga, aren't you supposed to be training? Not dancing. " I spoke as she looked at me innocently while blinking for a couple of times as she accepted my existence.

"Ohh.. Uhhh... Th-this is just h-how I fight. I-I look a-awkward right? It seems m-more like dancing than f-fighting. I was the o-only Hyuga to be t-trained in the a-art of dancing. Seems c-creepy yes? " she asked shyly. I nodded but then felt myself smile.

"It does look awkward but it's not creepy. Rather that fighting style could only be seen once in a blue moon. It looks graceful though, I can't deny that. " I said while looking down my feet.

"R-really? Thank you. " she spoke with a smile.

"It's  not a compliment so hush it. You're not going to sleep on mom's bed anymore so you're not welcome here. " I spoke without thingking.

Hinata's POV

What? What did he say? He's the one who begged to my father to take me in. Is he really that serious? I felt shivers running down my spine as the words replayed in my mind like a broken record.

"W-why? " I asked him with nervousness in my eyes and guts.

"I have my reasons. Don't you dare sleep there or else. " he said and left me there without another word. I inhaled and gathered all my courage.
