Death in Vain [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 24: Affair in the inn

Sasuke's POV

We soon arrived in the inn which Kakashi spoke about as we walked to the nearest caretaker to occupy our rooms.

He looked at us with a scared expression but seeing Hinata's state made his eyes go soft, she was a great diversion for someone soft hearted alright.

"Good afternoon, what can I do for you, sire? " the old man who was looking at us with a gentle smile spoke in a throaty voice, it made me sick.

"Good afternoon to you too. We are here to rent a room which could hold four people in total. Do you have any occupation like this?" Kakashi asked in a gentle voice.

"Oh, yes, but I'm afraid that it's quite ordered for already. " the old man still looked at Hinata with a worried look. "I'm sorry but you're all scaring away our customers, please leave. "

"We'll pay you gold coins for it----"

"I'm sorry but my inn's reputation is far more delicate than yours. " the wrinkled hag -as I say so myself,- interrupted Gaara, which sent the red head's emerald orbs to go on rage.

"Please, just trust us. We're not going to do anything wrong. " I said fakely but my act was quite amazing which drove the old guy to eye me confusingly.

"W-we'll take the t-tiniest room a-available. Please, j-just let us s-stay. " Hinata pleaded. The old man sighed because of her begging, with that he gave us a key and smiled at the Hyuga.

"Kitsune! " the old man called as a girl with chocolate hair, a red haori till her waist and and a white kimono sprang off from the corridor as she slowly approached us.

She gave us a respective bow and like other fangirls, she seemed to notice me. I didn't bother to look at her and just tsked like I always do. "What is it, grandpa? " she asked the old man, curiously.

"Can you take these tired travellers to room nine? " the ancient looking man said while putting his hands behind his back completely giving Hyuga a kind smile.

"Alright! " The girl who was addressed and labeled as Kitsune invited us. "Follow me. " she said, not long after, I saw her glaring at Hinata who was unable to see where she was going because of the stupid but beneficial bandages.

"Let's go. " she said and I looked at Kakashi who just nodded in approval. I nodded back as we followed the girl our age somewhere unfamiliar for us.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

After a couple minutes of walking, we arrived at the room. As I heard Hyuga saying that it would be the tiniest, I almost believed her.

She would even plead for the smallest room but because of her determination, we somehow got an enormous and spontaneous looking abode with the smell of mint and hyacinth filled the room.

It somehow smelled a lot like me which makes ne feel quite weird and strange. "Anyhow, here's your room. The rules and curfews are strict here so all of you can't go out of your room anymore after dinner tonight. But, it's still dawn right now so it might be alright to lurk around but not too deep. " she said with a smile. She soon looked at me with admiration in her eyes yet I ignored her. I never have longed for that stare my entire life.

"The curfew would only end after the sun has rised. Just tell me if you need anything, especially you pretty boy. " she said while biting her lower lip and looked at me seductively.

I only gave out a disgusted face and pushed her away with my zori (japanese sandals which are paired with kimonos), I kicked her off gently and slammed the door shut. I soon breathed out heavily in relief as I sighed.
