Hinata already could tell her day was only going to get worse. She slammed her head against her desk and Konan smirked and placed her cheek against her fist. "What happened this time?" she asked and Hinata looked at her. "The jacket...I had to take it off to get my shirt changed from where I had spilt the coffee Neji bought me this morning on it. I always have a spare shirt because of immature people and I went to get my jacket only to find...he took it." She whimpered and Konan raised a brow as Hinata sat up, she wore a tight black sleeveless shirt. "So that's how you could wear that baggy thing without getting all hot and flustered." Konan said and Hinata blushed. "Hidan took it, didn't he?" Konan asked and Hinata nodded. Konan sighed and walked straight out of class during the middle of lecture. The teacher looked at her oddly but shrugged, Hashirama sensei didn't care either way.

Konan walked back in minutes later holding Hinata's jacket and rubbing her fist to dull the ache from punching Hidan upside the head. "Thank you Konan." Hinata said and reached to zip the jacket but Konan broke the zipper off with a swift movement and jab of her pen, breaking both the zipper and the pen in the process. Hinata looked at her in shock and Konan just smiled. "Let's just say, I will break every zipper of every jacket you bring in if you keep making yourself look like a little fat kid hiding away from the world. "Konan said simply and Hinata blushed. "But Konan-chan...I...I am-" she began and Konan shook her head. "You nothing, you are not fat. Ino and Sakura know this and are just jealous because they are flat chested skanks with nothing better to do." Konan said loudly and Sakura and Ino glared at her. Hashirama sensei just chuckled, Hinata frowned she figured he was a little young to be a teacher, but whatever.

He smiled at her and she blushed, she still wasn't very good with talking to any of the male population; teacher or otherwise. Konan smirked and nudged Hinata. "He is cute huh?" she asked and Hinata choked on her own breath causing Konan to snicker. "He is our teacher!" she squeaked and Konan snorted. "He isn't much older than us, you know. If you took a whack at him instead of the ass that follows you I think you would be much happier." Konan said quietly and Hinata squeaked again a deep red blush covering her face. Hashirama glanced their way and he chuckled upon catching Hinata's eyes.

"There's no denying he's hot...I mean look at his hair...it looks so soft and silky. His eyes are so friendly...he looks built." Konan said with an appraising glance and Hinata blushed deeper. There was no way Hinata could deny he was really attractive. "I heard he has a younger brother who is just as hot. And I mean really look at that ass mmmhmm!" Konan snorted as Hinata's head hit the table, her neck and shoulders turning red as well. "OH! Man...if I could get those two alone...if you could get either one of them or even both to look your way...I guarantee you may never look that asshole's way again." Konan snickered and Hinata's shoulders went rigid. Konan snorted, she knew the girl was too innocent for the thoughts that coursed through her mind, and she also knew if Madara had heard her calling him an asshole she wouldn't be allowed to get cinnamon rolls for a week; oh how she loved the cinnamon rolls that guy could make.

Hinata fiddled with her fingers as class ended and stood attempting to pull her jacket around her but Konan glared at her and she stopped. "Eat lunch with me today, you told me you would two weeks ago but your dearest Neji kept stealing you away." Konan said and Hinata nodded, she knew who Konan's friends were, and she understood that Konan had told them to stop teasing her and calling her names but Hidan and Kakuzu still did, thus being why the first thing Konan did when they reached the place they were all eating lunch at was an action of anger; Konan knocked Hidan and Kakuzu out of their seats, then made Hinata sit and then sat down herself. Hidan and Kakuzu glared at them and sat on the other side of the table where Hinata and Konan were meant to sit. Hinata looked around and searched for Izuna, who said he would be joining them for lunch today since he attended the same college for business and computer information systems.

He walked in and she feared the devil was going to follow him in because whenever she had seen Izuna as of late, HE had been there too. Wherever the younger brother went, the older one followed. This was an inconvenience because she had invited him to her birthday party that her father was giving her money to throw wherever she wished for it to be thrown, and because she was turning nineteen, he was not going to be there, Neji had even said that unless she wanted him to come he wouldn't show. She had begged and pleaded for him to show up, for fear of Madara showing up. She sighed in relief when she saw it was only Izuna.

"Hey Hinata-chan, how are you today?" he asked and she smiled. "Fine, just fine now, thanks to Konan-chan." Hinata said and Konan smiled; Hidan and Kakuzu glared at her. "So, Hinata-chan..." Izuna started and she looked at him. "About your birthday party...Madara knows..." he said and Hinata's happiness faded away quite swiftly. "Why does he torment me so?" she whined and Izuna smiled. "He has his reasons...but who knows what all is going through his head. He thinks everyone needs to be some sort of party animal, drinking shots and passing out on the bar. Of course it is never him passed out on the bar, but that is beside the point. He finds humor in half the things he does. But I think it's different with you...this obsession of his has lasted five years, it's kinda impressive." Izuna said and Hinata whimpered.

"How is that impressive, stalker much." Hidan chuckled and Hinata huffed something under her breath that caused Konan to giggle...no... Konan doesn't giggle, she laughs, loudly until she snorts. Itachi smirked, having heard Hinata. "What was that?" Hidan asked with a raised brow. "She said that you shouldn't be one to talk, following her into the women's restroom to steal her jacket was stalker-ish enough for one day." Konan said and snorted again. Hidan grinned at Hinata. "But I see its unzipped now, you get it through your head that some people may like to see those huge-" He began and Konan punched him in the mouth. "Shut up Hidan, I broke the zipper, its confidence training!" she snapped and Pein snorted. "As if, you just want a mini-me." He said and she glared at him.

"How could she be a mini-me? She doesn't even look like me..." Konan said and Pein rolled his eyes. "She doesn't have to look like you she just has to-" Pein began but someone walked right up to the table and stood, their arms crossed over their chest. "Izuna...where is he?" a familiar voice asked, he was kinda irritated. "Hashirama-sensei." Hinata said shocked and he smiled at her. "Madara is in the car, I told him he couldn't come in because of her...he likes tormenting her like a weirdo." Izuna said with a shrug and Hashirama looked at Hinata with a raised brow. "She is kinda cute, so I can see why." Hashirama said offhandedly and Hinata flushed bright red.

"H-Hashirama sensei....im your student." She squeaked and he shrugged with a slight grin. "I know, what do I care either way? I'm only twenty three, I'm not a dinosaur." He chuckled as he walked out to go talk to HIM. Hinata's brow twitched. "Why did you bring him here?' she asked with a whine. Izuna scratched the back of his head with a small nervous smile. "He said he was going to say sorry for how he treats you...but then we pull up here and he said he was going to torment you far worse than before so I locked him in the car...if he tries to get out it will go off really loud and very annoying." Izuna said matter of factly.

"So what's the deal with Hashirama sensei and HIM?" she asked, her voice showing her distaste for the dark haired demon locked in Izuna's car. Izuna smiled and waved his hand in a 'it's nothing' sort of manner. "He is just going to go settle their childhood differences and attempt to choke him." He said and Hinata choked on her food. The rest of the group sighed and rolled their eyes, apparently it was a common occurrence. "Not that I care, but are you sure that they won't kill each other one day?" Hinata asked and Izuna shrugged and sipped his drink. "Twenty three years they have been doing this just about, they have been friends since childhood but they seem to like taking the tough love route in friendship." He said with a shrug.

"So Hinata, where are you having this birthday party at?" Konan asked. "Neji nii says I need to have it at a bar...but I'm too young to drink, so I don't know yet." She said and the group exchanged looks. "You could always take it to that one place you like to go Hinata." Neji's voice came from behind her and she jumped. "Neji-nii." She squeaked and he rolled his eyes. "Not going to ask about the jacket, but I am going to say this; I invited the guy from the donut shop or whatever it is, I invited him, knowing how you adore him so much." Neji said and Hinata's head hit the table and Izuna laughed. Was everyone out to kill her?

"Oh...you couldn't be more wrong about Madara, Neji-san." Izuna snorted and Hinata whimpered. "She couldn't hate him more." He said and Neji lifted a single brow. "Not from what I remember from a few years ago, she wouldn't even go in to ask for cinnamon rolls because she thought he was cute." Neji snorted and Hinata's face flushed a brilliant shade of red. "Neji-nii! That was five years ago..." she whined and he smirked. "But knowing you, that couldn't have changed much." He said as he walked off. Yep there it was, her day just got worse. Neji's 'let me crash your party big time routine always works. Always...isn't he just an amazing cousin?

Hinata and Konan left the restaurant and headed back to the school for their next class. Knowing how her day had gone so far, she could only expect worse things to happen, and man was she right. The moment she stepped into her class with Konan, a familiar feeling filled her being. She had this feeling that Neji was going to text her...and it was going to be bad news... oh no...

Her eyes dropped to her phone, she didn't want to read the text that appeared on her phone the moment she did. She touched the screen and her worst possible nightmare came to reality. 'I can't take you home today, Tenten is going to drop off your bug and then she will ride with me. We have plans this afternoon, sorry Hinata.' She ignored her urge to groan, because Orochimaru was glaring at her now. She sat there, ignoring the entire class, just glaring at her phone. They stood when class was over and Hinata swept out of the room with a small smile. "Oh well, its Friday, who cares!" she exclaimed and pulled the spare set of keys from her purse. She kept her spare keys in case someone had to bring her the bug.

She saw her car instantly; it was one of those cute little dark blue Volkswagen beetles, that was a glittery navy blue instead of normal navy blue. She had even put those cute little eyelashes on it, she loved her car more than any other vehicle her father had tried to give her...well except for her Impala...it was like the one from her favorite show, supernatural, she believed it was a 1967 model too. Her father had given her the impala for her 18th birthday, oh how she loved it. It was beautiful and she loved it just as much as she loved her bug. She ran her fingers over buggy's lashes with a grin. "Ohayo buggy!" she giggled and popped the trunk to place her backpack in there. she closed the hood and squealed when she saw him.

"You call it buggy?" he asked with a chuckled. "Her name is bubble buggy! Don't touch her!" Hinata snapped and he removed his hand from her bug. He chuckled and shook his head. "Bubble buggy?" he asked and she blushed. "She looks really pretty when covered in bubbles so I named her bubble buggy." She said and tried to avoid eye contact with him. "It's cute, I'm not discriminative." He chuckled and she looked at him with a small blush. "Hey, I can't judge, I drive a jeep and his name is rumble buggy. Not normal for a guy huh?" he asked scratching his head and she giggled. "He rumbles so its fine. I have another car, his name is Winchester...." She said and he raised a brow.

"What kind of car is named Winchester?" he asked with a chuckle. "My impala..." she said and his eyebrows shot up. "No way...you have an impala? He asked and she nodded. "Yeah...my father bought it for my birthday last year. I named him Winchester because of supernatural." She said with a smile and he chuckled. "The name's Tobirama by the way, my brother asked me to come see if you were alright, you seemed a bit flustered when you left his class." He chuckled and she blushed.

"Oh...I'm alright, my friend was just being very inappropriate right in my ear..." she said softly and he chuckled. "oh I know all about Konan and her crush on my older brother. He is so dense at times...he doesn't see it." He chuckled and Hinata blushed. "Well I will go tell him you're fine, see you around Hinata." He said and she waved him off. "Bye Tobirama-sensei..." she said and he scratched the back of his head. "I guess it will take a while to get used to that heh..." he chuckled as he walked off.

She opened the door to her bug only for a voice she hadn't heard since she was seventeen, nearly two years ago, echo behind her. Her eyes went wide. "So...still rocking the bubble buggy huh?" his voice echoed and she jumped from her vehicle. "Kiba-kun!" she squealed and glomped him. "Seems like I was missed more than you guys." He laughed and Hinata looked behind her old friend. Her eyes went wide and she squealed. "Temari! Shino! Kankuro! Gaara! You are back!" she squealed and hugged each of them. "We transferred here last week, we just got here yesterday. We figured we would check out the campus." Temari said and Hinata grinned.

"I can show you around Monday, why don't we go hang out for old times sake?" Hinata asked excitedly and they grinned, except for Shino and Gaara. "Alright!" she chirped. They got in their respective vehicles and headed towards the mall, it had been a unanimous decision. They hadn't seen each other since graduation. "So, Hinata, if I remember right, your birthday is next month. What are you doing for your birthday?" Temari asked with a grin. Hinata stood in thought for a moment then shrugged. "I don't know yet...everyone but forehead and pig will be there." Hinata said before she had realized what she said.

Temari snorted and Kankuro laughed with her. "You mean pinky and the brainless?" Temari asked and Hinata nodded. "Yeah...they still bully me..." Hinata sighed and Temari rolled her eyes. "You could have your party at my place, we still have the game room, the huge music station that was built into the walls of every section of the rec room, the huge heated indoor pool, all that..." Kiba said and Hinata looked at him with star-struck eyes. "You still have all that?" she asked and he grinned. "Yeah, mom never got rid of it, we have even added more games and stuff. She added a bar, but you know I highly doubt she will unlock that for us." He laughed and she smiled.

"That would be an awesome place for my party, you don't mind do you?" she asked and he shrugged. "Not at all, the place has felt a little lifeless lately so why not." He chuckled and Hinata grinned. This was the reason she adored her friends, it wasn't because each and every one of them were rich, no it was because they had this devil may care attitude and always threw the most awesome parties anyone could ever hope to get into! "Why don't we go ahead and pick some stuff out for it?" Kiba asked and the guys smirked.

"I will take Hinata to go get the decorations!" Temari said and the guys grinned. "We will head out and get the tunes, new games, plenty of controllers, and find somewhere to set up the catering for the 27th." Gaara said and Hinata smiled. "One rule!" Hinata said suddenly and they looked at her oddly. "Well, two... one: nothing girly." She said and they rolled their eyes, obviously there was going to be nothing girly. "and two: please no fighting with my new friends if you can help it." Hinata sighed and they grinned. "Deal." The guys said before they took off.

Temari gave her an odd look. "New friends? You? What?" she laughed and Hinata smiled. "Yeah...I didn't really like the majority of them at first, but Konan changed that for me." She laughed lightly and looked at her phone. 'hey doll where are you?' Hinata blinked, had Konan gone through her phone? "Who is it?" Temari asked and Hinata blinked. "It's Konan. She wants to know where I am." Hinata said as she told Konan where she was. The next message made her eyes go wide. 'thought so!'

"Doll!" Konan yelled and Hinata and Temari turned to see the blue haired woman jogging over. "Oh...hey." Konan said when she saw Temari. "This is Temari, Temari this is Konan, she has been there for me since I started college." Hinata said with a smile. "I'm the one who's been bustin' pinky and brainless for her." Konan laughed and Temari smirked. "I like her!" she laughed and Konan smirked. "Cool, wanna hang with us?" Konan asked and pointed to her group that was standing over by the food court where Kisame and Deidara were having a eating contest. Hinata snorted when she saw them but covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"Hinata...how many times do I have to tell you that you are a grown ass woman and snorting is perfectly logical." Konan laughed and Temari raised a brow. "Hey, I'm up for it! Yall can help us pick out the décor for her birthday party, the guys went to get tunes and games." Temari said and Hinata grinned. "These are my new friends Temari, welcome to the nut job crew." Hinata giggled and Konan snorted. "Yup, we are the nut jobs." She sighed and the rest of the group greeted them loudly.

"Yall wanna assist with the party prep?" Konan asked but her voice lost itself as she saw Kisame cram a corndog stick up Deidara's nose. Hinata snorted loudly and hit her knees laughing, Temari was laughing so hard her sides were hurting. Konan snorted and began laughing as well. "What?" Deidara asked in a nasily voice. "IS there something on my face? Is there something wrong?" he asked, his voice totally serious, which made the girls laugh even louder. This was going to be a fun end to a bad day, Hinata could already tell.

"let's go yall, we are wasting everyone's time sitting here." Konan laughed when she got a hold of herself. "Ok! Hinata! We just thought of a cool idea!" Kiba yelled and ran over. "Dude...who are they?" he asked and she smiled. "Most of them are my friends, except for him and him, I don't claim them." Hinata said defiantly and Konan snorted when she pointed at Hidan and Kakuzu. "Cool, the name's Kiba, are yall coming to her birthday party?" he asked and they nodded. "Ride on Bruh! You got the coolest peeps from before we became sophomores as your friends? Epic!" Kankuro chuckled and Hinata looked at them closely.

"They were there when we were in high school?" she asked with a tilt of her head. Konan snorted and nodded. "Yeah, they always gave me hell about my hair, they thought I continuously dyed my hair." She said and Hinata pursed her lips. "Sorry, I didn't know...I was the wallflower after all." She said softly and Pein ruffled her hair. "Not a problem, we preferred not to be noticed but you know, with looks like these, the attention is drawn." He said and Hinata snorted and began laughing again. The deflated look on his face caused Deidara and the rest of them to laugh as well.

"Well man, seems you aint as hot as you like to think." Kankuro laughed and Pein snorted. Hinata stopped laughing and began apologizing while trying not to laugh again. Temari smiled at her friend, she seems to be undergoing a change that could be for the best. "Oh my...if it isn't little bunny-chan!" a familiar voice chuckled. "Hinata-chan." Izuna greeted as Hinata turned around. "Can we join in on your little fun and games? We would love to help pick stuff out for your party, bunny-chan." Madara said wrapping his finger around in her bangs.

Itachi and the others watched in interest, this was the first time they had seen the two together and apparently the rumors were true. "Hands off Madara." She said and shoved his hand from her hair. He smirked and removed his hand. "Alrighty then, I guess I won't give you what I brought." He said with a shrug and she glared at him. "What could you possibly give me?" she huffed and heard a bag crinkle. Her eyes drifted to the bag and she almost smiled, but then she saw the arrogant donkey who was holding the bag and turned away with her arms over her chest.

"Come on bunny-chan I brought them for you, you know..." he said and his voice almost sounded sincere. "I could believe that, if you weren't such a donkey." She snapped and the group chuckled. "Come with me, I promise I won't hurt you." He said, she saw him smirk and her eyes narrowed. "Why should I, all you ever do is belittle me." She said softly and he frowned. Before she had noticed every one of her friends had vanished and gone to do the décor shopping.

"Come on, you can't really be that mad at me, I mean look at me." He chuckled and she gave him a sharp look as she reached into the bag. She couldn't deny he was attractive, he was more attractive than Tobirama and Hashirama in her opinion. He had those eyes that drew you in, even though they screamed trouble. His hair was let down for once and gave him the rocker look with the bangs falling over his amazing red eyes, completely covering the right eye. He always had that wicked smirk on his lips that screamed trouble, even his lips made him all the more alluring; they looked soft, just as soft as his skin looked. She couldn't see much in his eyes other than the draw that tried to pull her in. she itched to touch his face, his lips and his hair; that was the draw that tried to suck her in, but that attitude...that attitude pushed her away.

He may be the most attractive guy she had ever met, and he may have the ability to draw her in better than the gorgeous blue eyes her friend Naruto has; but that attitude of him was a major put off. So what she did next, she didn't regret in the slightest. She smashed the cinnamon roll right in his face, and she made sure to get it all over the place too. She turned on her heel and took the rest of the delicious cinnamon rolls with her, she was not going to waste any more of the amazing treats the donkey had given her. He chased after her, cleaning his face the entire way.

"Damn...that was harsh little bunny. I made those especially for you." He said and she huffed. "If you weren't such a donkey I wouldn't have had to waste one." She scoffed and he chuckled. "So you really do just come to my store for the rolls. You have been a faithful customer for nearly six years, since when my father owned the place...and yet I never got the chance to really talk to you, the first time I do and you smash a roll in my face." He sighed and she sniffed.

"I may have thought you were attractive when I was younger, but that attitude of yours is going to get on my nerves and next time...I won't waste the roll." She snapped and he raised a brow. "Oh, so you will smash other things on my face? I can think of something I would like." He chuckled and when the realization of what he was staring at hit her, she had lost her appetite and she felt her anger reach the surface. all the anger of dealing with Sakura and Ino bullying her every day since the third grade, Hidan being a pervert, Kakuzu calling her stupid all the time, her father expecting her to be ladylike in everything she does, the pressure from college, the pressure from society because of who she was...oh and last but surely not least...her five year stalker...the stress and anger that had built up from dealing with him and everyone else...Kami forgive her.

He was not expecting the soft-spoken mousy girl to do this, in fact he had thought she would hunker down somewhere and faint or blush herself to death, but this...no...never would he have figured that she would have done this. This was only more instigation for him to bother her, he had a plan...and that plan was put into overdrive now...he was going to make her life a living hell because of this. Her fist connected with his face and much to his surprise, he was sent stumbling backwards. Then, to top it all off, she crammed not one, but three more rolls into his face. And the best part of this was what she said it made him wonder if he could push her any further. "Filthy fucking pervert!" she snapped and stormed away.

He cleaned his face off and chuckled as he held a hand to his aching cheek, this was going perfectly. His plan was going in overdrive now. He could feel the cuts in the inside of his cheek where she had hit him so hard he had bit the inside of his cheek. His right cheek was swelling as well, his little bunny had quite the powerful punch on her... the wicked smirk that crossed his lips was filled with admiration and amazement. She was changing, and yet...she was staying the same at the same time. He liked that, he shoved his other hand in his pocket and made his way to where he knew Izuna would be, the video game department.

"Izuna." He called out and Izuna turned to him with a surprised look. "What the hell happened to you?" he asked and Hidan and the others turned around as well. "Oh damn boss man, looks like she knocked the hell out of you!" Hidan laughed and Madara smirked. Konan raised a brow, and handed him the wet wipes from her purse. "I said some things... much like what you would say, but more directed towards her. Apparently she hated the fact she had to waste her cinnamon rolls. She smashed each of them in my face after she punched me." he said with a smirk. "What started that?" Pein asked with a raised brow.

"Well, I got cocky." He chuckled and Pein shook his head. "I hope you know what you are doing, dumbass." Pein said and Izuna sighed and rubbed his temples as Madara was cleaning his face of the remnants of the cinnamon rolls. "I never took you for an idiot, but your plan may not work if you keep pissing her off." Izuna sighed and Madara smiled, actually smiled. "There is a thin line between love and hate, I already know this...but...it will work. Because I'm heading out to go start the second part of my plan." He chuckled and waved them off. Everyone looked at Izuna. "what's the second part of his plan? Better yet.... what the hell is his plan?" they asked and Izuna shrugged. "I have no idea, but I'm telling you... his mind works in mysterious ways." Izuna said as Hinata walked in rubbing her fist and wincing. "Hit him a bit hard did ya?" Hidan asked and she glared at him. "I'll have you know...he took your punch too, and Kakuzu's and pinky and brainless' punches as well. My hand hurts..." she whined and Konan snorted as Temari and the others walked back into the game store.
