Hanabi's P.O.V

In a room filled with light, I sat comfortably on my made up bed while slowly dragging my pencil down my homework page, reluctantly completing it. I had tons of work to do today so all afternoon my attention was only being taken by school.

I groaned quietly to myself, rolling my two lavender eyes. "School sucks." I whispered to myself, my long brown hair falling down my back fully.

Pajamas for bed fit my body. The top had long sleeves, the bottom holding matching pants which were super thin and comfy. The color of my pretty nightwear was a baby blue. I like the attire very much.

But homework, is something I do not like.

I groaned once more and was just about to mark down another answer on my paper for my science homework, my ears then, picked up the door to the room slowly creeping open, immediately granting my attention for I knew who was arriving.

My sister, in pink pajamas, came sauntering into the room with a long grin rooted on her pale face, her hands loaded with things.

My eyebrows rose upon the look on her face. It was one that gave me mischievous vibes, like big sister did something sneaky.

But even though I was confused by that key detail, I didn't forget to greet my big sister.

"Hi, onee-san." I said happily, my voice filling up the once quiet room. And immediately, I got an answer back.

The midnight blue haired teen from across the room turned towards my direction, her hands rooted out by her chest to hold her belongings. "Oh hi, Hanabi. How's your homework going?"

"Terrible." I quickly shot back, sighing. Hinata's grin momentarily dropped at my response.

Discreetly, she moved her leg to kick our bedroom door shut, her feet soon taking her over to a desk on the left hand side of the room. There, she placed down all her books and papers for school, even dropping her phone and headphones there.

"Why is it terrible, Hanabi?" She added on with a small grunt, her face tightening a little as she moved to set down all of the heavy items in her hands.

I watched her the entire time from where I sat across the room, the blue sheets underneath me holding a few wrinkles from my constant movement.

I shrugged at my sister's question, quickly moving to spill everything. "Well it's extremely hard and it's so much. I have math homework, science homework and english. I even have freaking music homework! Music, onee-san!" I exclaimed in frustration but instead of comfort, I surprisingly was granted laughter.

Hinata giggled upon my words of frustration, her head shaking at me. "Oh Hanabi. That sounds awful. I'm so sorry. Maybe I can help." She offered, soon pushing herself away from the desk of folders to face my direction, our eyes finally meeting.

And there, I saw that look again.

The look of mischief.

It was so vivid on my sister's face as she stood there playfully, in the middle of the room, her hands now free. Her body was tittering and tottering in excitement, like she was holding something back. I furrowed my brows.

What's going on with my big sister?

She's acting so strange.

Should I ask her?

So with that thought, I didn't even think twice about it, I just did it. I went ahead and asked my big sister the question I secretly have.

A hum shot out of my lips and with that, I set the worksheet I was working on by my pillow on my bed, along with the folder underneath it to stand, Hinata's eyes widening for a brief second at the sight of my sudden movement.

She blinked, shifting on her weight. "Wh-What is it, Hanabi? Why... are you looking at me like-"

"Spill it! What did you do?" I quickly intervened, interrupting her chance to question the look of suspicion on my face.

Immediately, her face turned beet red indicating that there was something. I smiled in amusement at that.

Ah hah! I knew she was hiding something!

That means my hunch was right!

Big sister only turns red on three occasions. When she's nervous, embarrassed or now..

When she's caught red handed!

Big sister hardly ever lies. She's such a good person and she rarely tells lies so when she does..

It's so easy to notice.

Her face and eyes told numerous stories, practically screaming out that she was hiding something from the world. So I, was able to figure out easily that there was something she wasn't telling me.

I couldn't help the giggle that shot from my mouth, my body hopping off of the bed to grow closer to my dear sister. "I knew it was something! You can't hide from me, onee-san!" I declared playfully, quickly filling up the distance between the both of us to only grab her delicate hands, gripping them tight. I looked up at her taller form while she looked down at me, her face still darkened in color.

I watched as she bit her lip nervously, her long hair placed up into a high ponytail which revealed much of her beautiful face.

Soon though, she sighed, shaking her head in deep embarrassment. "Gah. I hate that I can't keep a secret. I promised myself that I wouldn't tell you." She whispered with a pout slowly forming on her lips, her tone of voice no longer playful or genuine. Now, it was..

Pouty and regretful.

My face fell at that, all amusement wiped clean away. Hinata frowned as she caught my expression change.

Now, I am deeply concerned. I gripped my sister's hands tighter, revealing my worried emotions. "U-Um, H-Hinata?" I whispered out shakily, not knowing what to say or do.

What did big sister do? Did she do something bad? Did she get into trouble with father? No, that can't be. We were let off of the hook.

So why do I feel something different?

Suddenly, I grew worried and very scared, my face slowly revealing my troubled emotions. Hinata was really scaring me. And she, saw this instantly.

She gasped, quickly moving her hands from mine to instead cup my cheeks, caressing them. She gave me a small smile, her warm lavender eyes remaining rooted down on mine. "It's okay, my dear sister. I'll tell you everything. I promise. But please, don't be mad at me." She whispered soothingly down at me, trying her best to calm my emotions. And she did, at first..

But as I really processed her words, I instantly grew right back worried again. But I chose to respond back anyway.

"Al-Alright..."

-A Few Minutes Later-

"You did what?" I screamed out in a mix of shock and disbelief as I sat back on my bed, my widened eyes directed over to my older sister who was sitting on her own bed.

Her head was bowed low as she told me the sneaky deed that she had just committed a few minutes ago. One that she couldn't reverse.

Fear began to take over my being as Hinata's words ran through my head, over and over again. All I could think of, was father.

I snapped my head back to face her, my eyes now narrowed and filled with anger. "What are you thinking? That band isn't all that great just to go and do something like that and hide it behind father's back. Do you want us to be grounded for life or something?!"

"Hanabi, please. Not so loud." Hinata whimpered out with the same pout as before rooted on her pink lips, her hands moving to wave at me, to help calm my intense emotions.

Immediately as to not disappoint my elder sister further, I calmed down for her sake. Quicky, I took a deep breath, lowering my voice. "Please tell me you at least covered your tracks."

"I did, Hanabi. I bought what I wanted and that was it. Please understand. That band is my heart and soul. You know how much it means to me. I just, couldn't let that contest pass me by."

I lowered my head by my sister's pleads, my own lavender eyes falling to look at my pretty blue bed sheets. There, I sat and just took a moment to think.

Hinata did something so, so bad.

Hinata, took it upon herself to enter a contest involving the band she adored behind father's back. She even used his credit card to pay for the item she wanted. I paused.

I can't really remember what the item she bought is called.

Ahh! Who am I kidding? That little detail doesn't matter!

Father could find out. Father is smart, too smart for his own good. He could probably sniff out Hinata's little mischievous deed quicker than ever and officially ground us.

My eyes widened.

He could really ground us for life for this.

Father's strict and unpredictable. He could do anything if he were to find out about this.

How does Hinata even have the courage to do such a thing when just two hours ago, we were staring directly in the face of his wrath?

I don't get it.

My lips grew thin. My thoughts grew blank and questions started to arise. So, I turned back to my sister, facing her again.

"Hinata, you took a big risk. We could get in trouble-"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. That's why I didn't want to tell you. I don't want to worry you. Because if father does figure out what I did.. Well I, want to only take the blame for it. Only me. Not you." She said earnestly, offering to take the punishment if one was given.

But a little bit of my heart broke at her words. I did not want to see my sister in any trouble, especially if it's from Father. I just couldn't. So, I grew extremely sad.

I pouted, shaking my brown head at my sister who stared back at with saddened eyes. "No, onee-san. It's okay. I will help you hide your secret. If we get in trouble, we experience it together. And besides, you're very, very brave. I know how much you want to do something great for yourself. And I also know how much you love that band so, I don't blame you for doing what ya did."

In all honesty, I poured my heart out to my older sister revealing that I truly understood her situation and would do any means necessary to help her. I loved her very much and I would fight by her side, even if it meant going behind our Fathers back.

I will make it my mission to make my sister happy.

And those words were ones that managed to get rid of her regret, her shame, everything. Every negative emotion she felt washed away once she heard my heartfelt words, a bright smile instantly coming upon her lips.

Her eyes watered and suddenly, I was engulfed by her warmth, arms of love wrapping themselves around my body.

Hinata, had leaped up quickly from her bed to hug me tightly to her own body, engulfing me with warmth and love making me feel good that I told her what I did.

I truly meant it anyway.

She hummed, happily giggling by my ear as she hugged me tight. "Oh Hanabi. You're so sweet! Thank you! Thank you so much for understanding!" She said over and over, revealing her gratitude. And I took it by hugging her back, wrapping both of my arms around her own body, pulling her in and making the hug even more meaningful.

I hummed, soaking in all the love that my sister was giving me. "You're welcome, onee-san." I whispered by her ear which finally made my older sister whole. She felt even more confident in her choice for going behind Father's back and entering The HeatWave Band's contest.

No longer was she ashamed. She was happy and content and that, is all I wanted to see, from her.

Only happiness...

***

Hinata's P.O.V

Much time passed and the day ended like every other day has. Now, I was lying peacefully underneath the blankets of my own personal bed, just gazing up at the ceiling within the darkness.

My mind has been troubled ever since I spilled the beans on the shifty actions I have enacted just a few hours ago.

Hanabi, surprised me though. I thought she would totally freak out about the mischevious stunt I pulled.

Well..

I smiled amusingly to myself, holding back a giggle within the now quiet, dark room I was in.

She, kinda did.

But in the end, she promised to have my back on the matter and that is honestly all I wish for. My actions were done with good intentions. I will never intentionally hurt father, I just...

My mind trailed off at such a thought for a little part of me felt a tiny bit guilty.

Father works so hard and is only able to get the two of us, Hanabi and I, a limited amount of things. And like the stubborn, selfish teenager I was, I went behind his back and carried out a deceitful deed to make my own self happy.

I frowned to myself, my chest tightening from all the emotion that was welled up inside of me.

I'm a terrible daughter.

But the deed is done. I can't reverse it.

The Heat Wave Bundle is on its way and it's gonna be here Friday.

And happily and excitedly, I will be here waiting for it. I can't help but feel thrilled on the entire matter.

This is the Heatwave Band we're talking about!

My bright smile came back upon my lips by such a glorious thought, one that made excitement rush all throughout my body, rushing through my toes.

I wiggled them underneath the blankets to express the intense emotion I felt, my lavender eyes shifting from the ceiling.

From it, I took them over to land them on my unconscious sister who rested a little ways over to my right, her lavender eyes once again closed from the world.

Loud snores constantly came from her mouth which voiced to the world she was in a deep sleep and that was only from exhaustion. Beforehand, after I had finished telling Hanabi about what I've done, we both spent the rest of our time finishing up homework.

Of course, we have a curfew, so we stayed up until it arrived. But before then, all I did was help Hanabi with all of her homework which was surprisingly easy.

Her science homework was easily conquered. Math homework was a piece of cake. History and music were only done by searching the web on my phone, leaving all her homework finished.

Hanabi was so grateful for my help. I remember now how big she smiled.

"Thank you, onee-san! Next time I'm getting you to do all of my homework. And that's a promise!"

At the thought of my little sister's words, I actually giggled softy to myself, my heart exceedingly warm upon such a lovable memory.

I smiled, shifting my eyes back over to Hanabi's form underneath her blankets on her own bed, her blue pajamas helping to keep her warm. As well as my own pink ones.

I sighed, my eyes growing overly hooded by the minute.

Well, I guess that's enough thinking for one night.

So with that, I grabbed my own blankets and pulled them over my body.
Now comfortable, I finally allowed my tired eyes to close, once again allowing sleep to take over, my body.

-The Next Day-

The next day came faster than I expected but luckily we were woken up by father today.

Unlike yesterday, it was early so Hanabi and I were able to get ready on time and jet to school.

Today, I wore another fashionable outfit and that was a plaid pinafore dress which came in the colors of black and grey. Underneath the pretty attire that stopped at my knees was a long sleeve crop top which came in a nude color. The fabric was thin so it was comfortable to wear, even in the heat of the sun.

For my shoes, I wore all white converses, to match. And I only settled on flat ironing my hair, straightening my midnight blue strands so they can lay beautifully down my back.

Overall, I once again looked my best. And today, I felt the best, considering what I had done yesterday. And I was quick, to tell my friends about it.

Once the bell rang to release me from history class at school, I jetted down the hallway at high speeds, holding on to my book bag by the velcro straps that were attached to it, the bag positioned snuggly on my back. My other hand held my lunchbox which was filled with more goodies which I was so ready to eat, at lunch.

The hall I walked down was growing tremendously crowded with talkative teens, all of them set on either getting to class or to lunch. I increased my speed at that, squeezing by many people and quickly shooting inside the cafeteria.

And just like yesterday, I once again spotted my friends sitting at the same spot at the very back of the cafe, their bodies turned the way of the entrance in search of me.

Immediately, as I stepped into the lunchroom, I could hear their cheers of joy. I also could see their crazed waving.

"Hinata!"

"Oh my kami, Hinata! You look so pretty!"

"Ahh! Your hair!"

I couldn't help but giggle at their enthusiasm.

Gosh, I love my friends to death.

They always knew how to make my day and just from them revealing excitement by my presence did the trick.

A large, goofy smile crossed my glossy lips and I then pushed my feet forward, traveling across the noisy cafeteria to sit upon the same seat I always did.

A prep was certainly in my step
as I excitedly made my way over to my friends, nothing my glee presented on my face.

Ooh! I can't wait to tell them the news!

They're gonna freak out, I just know it.

Excitement was rushing back to me as I hurriedly crossed the entire cafe for the table I had my eyes set on, my hand still clutching my lunch box to my body.

Closer and closer I walked, Ino, TenTen and Sakura's smiling faces could be seen much easier which made me giggle.

Soon, I made it right in front of them and I took this time to slide into the only seat available, my body now facing the three girls.

Sakura's smile widened, her green eyes looking me all over. "Wow. I seriously do not know who I'm looking at right now. You look amazing."

"Yes, you most certainly do!" TenTen butted in exiciedly, one of her hands cradling a zip lock bag filled with grapes, her lunch sprawled out before her on the table. And quickly, I went to do the same to mine, my hand dropping my bag on the table and opening it.

But I giggled at my friend's comment, absolutely loving their compliments. "Thanks girls. I suppose I wanted to try something new today." I voiced out with a happy smile on my bright face, my hands continuing to open my lunchbox.

Once I did, I quickly began to take out all there was that I first stashed inside of it, placing the delicious refreshments on the table.

Ino watched me as I prepared myself to eat, her mouth chomping down on a thin crust pizza she packed for herself.

She swallowed, humming. "Personally, I really like your hair that way. It's fucking gorgeous." She complimented, giving me her opinion as well.

And because of all the love I was getting, I couldn't help but blush.

"Th-Thank you, Ino. I appreciate it. Really. B-But um.." My words trailed off as I placed down the last snack I had left within my bag, my lavender eyes running over my entire meal.

Today, I decided to treat myself a little. Since it was only fair. I finally managed to do something for myself for a change so, I cooked myself a plate of creamy bacon alfredo mac and cheese with chicken.

Inside a circular pan, laid the delicious entry which I have been thinking about all day. The noodles looked so soft and seasoned as it sat bunched up in the container I first placed the meal in.

Also the noodle type was fusilli which was rolled up gorgeously so the alfredo sauce can literally devour every bit of it.

Bacon bits could be found sprinkled here and there within the plate as well as chunks of roasted chicken which was the one thing that was giving the meal a nice, strong aroma. My mouth watered at the sight of it.

Oh my gosh! Yum!

Then, for my little snacks, I had perfectly sliced strawberries, a bag of cashews, veggie chips and a sweet and salty granola bar. And on the side, I had a bottle of water again.

I smiled, loving my food choices. Because of course, when I eat, I choose healthy so that I won't gain any weight.

Of course sometimes I get cravings or urgings for the sweet stuff but I don't give in to such feelings. I instead choose to be a little creative with my food.

Thanks to father anyway.

But eating this way is much better. I enjoy it. So, I quickly began to eat.

But as soon as I started, Ino opened her mouth to speak.

She furrowed her blonde eyebrows, setting her half eaten pizza down on a little napkin on the table in front of her. "Um Hinata? Do you have something to tell us or.." She trailed off, referring to my earlier words where I just left my friends hanging.

I instantly gasped upon that, turning to look at the three of them who were patiently waiting for me to continue conversing.

I smiled thinly upon that, my hands moving forward to open the container that held the noodles I wanted.

But before I dug in, I pulled up one finger at them, signaling that I will tell them what I had on my chest but just not at the moment.

First, I just gotta try my meal first. And without a minute to waste, I grabbed my fork and shoved it inside the noodle container, grabbing what I desired.

Once the sauce covered noodles were on my fork, I pulled them straight into my mouth where I was finally able to taste how delicious they were.

And oh boy were they delicious.

They were actually more than delicious which made me groan, my body quickly launching forward to get even more. I ate and ate like I hadn't eaten in days which granted me laughs from my friends who were also eating.

We were all quiet for the most part which was a great contrast to the rest of the room where only talking was being done.

Just like any other time, the cafe was filled with high schoolers who were also hanging with their friends.

Some did anyway.

But my mind wasn't on my surroundings at all, I only used this time to enjoy my meal, or at least a little bit of it.

Once I ate about half of my main dish, I finally gave my friends my attention.

I sighed, moving one hand over to grab my water bottle, simply removing the top and taking a sip.

TenTen giggled. "Wow. Someone was hungry. She announced which I instantly nodded too.

"Yes, I was. Deeply." I groaned out, pulling away the water bottle to close it after consuming some of its contents.

Sakura smiled, she also busy diving into her food. After many classes of boredom, hunger was something us highschoolers had to battle with.

It was normal for us.

TenTen giggled once more by my comment, Ino nodding her head for she agreed.

I smiled, but then cleared my throat. "Well, you girls. I um, have something to confess. I wanted to tell you all sooner but-"

"It's okay, Hinata." Sakura informed, allowing me to set my worries aside. My heart warmed up because of that.

TenTen, on the other hand let out a gasp and placed all of her food down to give me her undivided attention. Ino, did as well.

"Confess?!? Confess what?" TenTen screeched, absolutely excited for the news I was hiding. Ino nodded as well, her eyes planted on me from across from her intently.

I giggled upon their rowdy behavior and decided to just spill the beans. I've been holding it in for too long anyway.

I shook my head, throwing my hands to wave them at the three grinning teenage girls. "Alright, alright. Settle down. What I want to tell you is that I managed to get myself into the HeatWave Band's contest." I admitted, finally throwing my secret out there.

Instantly, Sakura cheered happily, giving me a round of applause. "Oh my gosh! No way! You did? How? I thought you said you didn't have any money!" Sakura exclaimed with her eyes widened, surprised to the max.

Ino and TenTen's mouths gaped at the news, clearly confused and shocked as well by my words. But I only continued to speak.

I bit my lip, tapping the front of the table with my fingers. "W-Well. Y-You're right, I didn't have any money so I, kinda, um, took it from my f-father. And before you say anything, yes, it was wrong of me but I just couldn't let the contest pass me by. I really, really wanted to enter. This is a one time thing, ya know. I had to." I explained solemnly, trying to back my actions up. I know what I did was wrong and I could end up in deep trouble but...

I really love that band.

I couldn't hold back the urge. It was just too strong.

My head was bowed after I admitted my sneaky deed to my friends, my eyes elsewhere so I wouldn't be able to even see their faces.

This was the second time I actually had to tell someone my schemes and hearing it again out loud, it just made me feel even more guilty.

But the guilt didn't stay long. And that was all because of my friend's responses which were ones I was not expecting at all.

Ino gawked at me, throwing her hands up to cover her mouth. "Oh my gosh. Hinata Hyuga, you are seriously turning into a woman! You rebelled against your father? I can't believe this."

Cheers of disbelief went on like crazy around me which had me popping my head up to, my eyes widening upon my friend's reactions.

"Wh-What?" I stated, honestly confused. This was not the reaction I suspected. I thought I was gonna be scolded or bashed upon my rebellious acts but my friends are...

Celebrating..

What is going on?

They looked so happy too, jumping up and down in their seats as if they were graduating or something.

Sakura cheered as well, throwing her hands out to grab mines from across the table.

Now staring eye to eye I could see the excitement that was presented in her green orbs, her soft fingers holding onto mine tightly.

She rubbed them, giving me comfort. "You've finally entered the contest. Do you know what this means now, Hinata?" She stated happily, clearly glad that I was in the contest alongside her.

I smiled faintly, my hands gripping hers. "I-I have a chance at winning?" I asked, uncertain of where she was going with this. But that only granted me laughter.

TenTen and Ino sat and just watched as Sakura and I conversed about the band we adored. Though they were still mind blown by my actions, giggles and gossiping occasionally heard from the two.

But by my previous words, Sakura nodded frantically, even shaking my hands which made me gasp. "Yes, Hinata! You, me, we can win! We could finally meet the band and see their sexy selves up close. Wouldn't that be awesome?"

She didn't have to ask me twice upon that question and I nodded, the excitement from before rushing back to take over.

I was growing overly excited now that I have done what I did. My friend's reactions made me so.

So with all the happiness I could muster, I cheated as well, now finally on the same page as my friends.

"Yes! Most definitely!"

I was so happy and I was even more happy that Sakura was as well.

Because of this, there wasn't another time where I felt guilty about my actions.

I felt like I broke free from the shackles that my father has placed upon me. A repercussion used to weigh me down, and hold me back.

No.

No, just my bold actions alone, I felt like I took life within my own hands, for a change.

-Later-

Much time has passed and my usual routine was set into place.

After school, I jumped into my car and zoomed straight to Hanabi's school where I soon picked her up, allowing her to enter my car so I could drive and take the both of us to our next stop.

Home.

But all the while I couldn't stop thinking about lunch. About my friends.

They approved.

Every single one of them deeply liked the fact that I went out of my way to do what I wanted to make myself happy for a change. They liked the fact that I bought The Heat Wave Bundle and entered the special contest for myself.

They said that I, deserved it.

And, I kind of agreed with them.

There was never a time where I gave my father any problems. I do everything that is asked of me. I cook, I clean, I work on my schoolwork, I take care of Hanabi and I stay out of trouble.

I am obedient.

So this little incident where I went behind father's back and entered myself into the contest, was needed.

It was a refresher, and it certainly felt good.

And now, all I have to do is wait four days until the bundle arrives at my doorstep.

And only then I will see if I have won or not.

It's a long shot, seeing there are probably millions of fans buying the same bundle and entering the contest to hopefully win just like me.

Anyone could enter into the contest. Anyone in the entire world can manage to get that special bundle box with the Heat Waves names signed on it.

Anyone can win.

But I had hope.

Lots of it.

I have hope that the winner of this contest is not just anyone but...

Me.

I've worked so hard trying to fight for this contest, I have to have faith that I will become the winner. The winner will be able to spend four weeks with the Heatwave Band members and travel and experience new things, right along with them.

The excitement from before came rushing back to the point I began to squirm within the driver's seat, my lavender eyes focused on the road still.

And to hide this very incident, I will act as though nothing has happened. I will act as the complete same these four days to fool father, until the Heat Wave box arrives and land within my clutches.

I smirked, gripping the steering wheel tighter.

And he, won't notice a thing...

***

A.N.

So, the story is slowly building up towards the main event. These first few chapters is just introducing the plot and the characters. I'm building chapter development so sorry it's taking a little while to get to the good stuff.

It's gonna come, trust me, and you all will definitely fall in love. I hope anyway, lol.

But tell me your thoughts about this chapter. Hinata has told her little sister and her friends about her deeds and we see the people she cares about is letting Hinata's actions slide due to her being selfless and hardowkring all the time.

They feel like she's always puting her happiness last. So they approve of her getting what she wanted for a change.

But what do you think? Do you think she still should've stolen fron her father?

Now, I do not condone stealing. Stealing is bad and you should never do it. Karma will surely come back for ya.

But I hope no one thinks I'm promoting stealing cause I'm not. (Just wanted to put that out there just in case)

But anywho, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will get things rolling for real. I promise.

But in the meantime, vote and comment!
