...Author Speaking...
Okay my lovely readers I know that I haven't been updating and I know that a few of you are eager that I continue and the few that have sadly given up reading 😅, but I really am having trouble trying to put the plot and story together, I do have some ideas I just need to put them together somehow. The same for my other stories. Its like I have the good idea, but I forget or don't know how to finish and put the pieces together. So thank you guys for the support, I appreciate it so much! I just need some more time.

~*~

Now... Did you guys really think that I was only going to leave a note and not provide a chapter!?
Here you go my patient friends, here's the next chappy ฅ'ω'ฅ

One month...

The time sure does fly.

No it doesn't.

It's been the longest four weeks of my life.

My mind goes blank, and I stare numbly at the cold, hard floor. My greasy hair sticking irritatingly to the sides of my face. The once white plain sneakers on my feet, now covered in dirt, and visible rips appearing on many parts of the filthy shoe.

A stinging pain caught my full attention making me flinch, quickly pulling my hand on my right eye. The once forgotten bruised, now sinking into my mind as the pain overwhelmed me.

I seethed in pain. "Damnit."

Probably wasn't the smartest thing to get into a fight during my imprisonment.

"But the bitch had it coming." I breathed out my thoughts aloud.

At least I wasn't the one who gotten in trouble, if I had they would have sent me to 'the whole'. A place they deemed as punishment.

I shivered and cringed at the thought of the small suffocating room.

"Hyuga?"

My attention was now focused on the masculine voice that called for me. Not needing me to speak, the man continued. "You're being taken away."

My eyes widened, and my body stood up on its own, my feet almost racing towards the metal bars, as I nearly tripped over the laces on my sneakers.

"What!?"

The appearent smirk on his face faded any hope that were placed visibly on my features.

"You're not going home, idiot!" he laughed in my face. I frowned sickingly. "They're moving ya to a different location. Said they're tired of you being in too many fights here."

I stared back, confused. "I'm being transferred, But this was my first fight!"

"Yeah, but you were apart of many other countless, petty arguments that had to be broken up. And I think we can both agree that you're the problem around here." he explained coldly.

"Me?! The problem? Please, if all the women here weren't so fucked up in the head there wouldn't be any problems. I think that we can both agree that I'm the only sane one here!"

He scoffed in my face. "And yet you're the only one here that actually murdered someone."

And that's when my heart almost torn apart. Knowing my place, I knew better than to talk back anymore and my head dropped low. His soft chuckle lingered in my ears as the squealing of the metal door opened setting me free, but not too long after his rough hand lunched onto my left arm.

I couldn't hear our footsteps, I couldn't focus; the audible voices of the snickering and outlashes that judged my every move soaked into my brain. I couldn't ignore their tormenting laughs upon my very existence.

My throat felt dry as I could barely speak. "C-can you at least tell me where they're taking me.." I wasn't sure if my low voice even reached his ears, but he answered.

Apparently, he wasn't informed where since he wasn't the one actually taking me to the place.

I was lead to an undercover police car. Getting in, I almost hit my head on the roof of the car in the process, because of the older male shoving me into it. I glared at him, but was only met, face first, with the slamming of the door.

I sighed, wondering if they would let me make one phone call at the new institution so I could at least inform Neji about it. My thoughts drifted while I stared out the window as the blurry scenery took over my hazy sight.

~*~

I looked to my right distracting myself unknowingly, then looked down at the paper sitting in front of me. I placed my chin on my fist, an evident frown taking over my features.

I looked straight ahead, I could see his mouth moving, but all his words were incoherent, they flew straight over my head as if being told to someone else other than me. I could already feel my mind slipping away as his once audible words now indistict to my ears. I could see his lips moving, but suddenly his words muted.

"Naruto!"

I blinked my eyes a few times staring blankly and the long haired, brunette.

"Y-yeah?"

"Are you even listening to me?!"

"I am, I just don't know what you're saying.."

"idiot." Sasuke sighed from the corner of the room. I glared at the other male. "Math isn't my best subject okay." I defended myself. "It seems like the majority of these subjects aren't." he stated matter of factaly.

I sighed in defeat, and shook my head.
"Can't we just do something else for now." I complained. "Wouldn't you rather get the harder stuff out of the way first?" Neji asked me, confused.

"No."

It was Neji's turn to sigh now. "Fine, let's start with Human development."

I gulped and shivered slightly in my seat.

As he looked over the homework I glanced over at Sasuke as he started counting the money we have saved over in the jars on the small kitchen counter, and my leg started to bounce patiently.

"Almost done counting, calm down." he responded as if sensing I was watching him.

"Yes, you should be focusing on your homework."

I groaned in annoyance. "You two act so much like parents!"

"And you act so much like a child." they attacked simultaneously. I slouched in my chair, and decided to begin on the first few questions Neji explained for me.

"Yup, it's 2,910, like Neji confirmed."

'Its so far away from our goal.' I thought. 

"No deduct 450."

"What, for what!?" I exclaimed.

"That's the rent. And since we started doing this, you guys started acting as if you lived here yourselves. We're all sharing." he stated.

Sasuke nodded. "2,460." he concluded, putting what I assumed was the rent money off to the side of the jars.

"Don't worry, isn't exams almost a month away?" Neji asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Well once I graduate this year, I'll start working full time. That could earn us more money."

"You're not going to college." Sasuke questioned the older male.

"I don't have the money or time for college. Hinata is my priority right now. I will think about college later."

Me and Sasuke stared at each other for a quick second. We thought about going to college before, but we didn't think of it that way as much. I was going to use the money my parents gave me to get into a cheap college, but now I'm using it for Hinata. In a little over a year, we will have to graduate as well, but while everyone else is busy off following their dreams, the three of us will be working to help Hinata.

Is this what our parents would want? Is this what we really want?

"I know what you two are thinking, and you could back down if you want; afterall Hinata did commit a crime, so why bother? Because she's your friend, telling yourselves that because she got raped that she doesn't really deserve it?" He paused.

"Or is it because you're just feeling guilty... Sasuke." we watched as the raven flinched. Then he snapped his head in my direction. "Or you? Is it because you feel pity, or sorrow for the poor girl?" and now the two stared at me and watched as I started to fidget in my chair.

"You see, I'm not going to convince myself that Hinata doesn't deserve imprisonment, because she does. That is the simple reality. You can't cover that fact with emotions or delusions. You can't justify her actions, she deserves this."

He paused, letting what he said sink into our minds.

"But I'm doing this because I want to to do it. Not because she doesn't deserve it, or because I feel bad about anything. She is my family and I want her home. That is that."

Me and Sasuke took one last glance at each other as if finally deciding what we wanted to do.

"You're right." Sasuke started.

"Yeah, we want her home too."

"Good. Now question number six states-" Neji continued, but was stopped by the sudden ringing of his phone. "Hello?"

"Hinata?"

My head perked from its rest on my hand and I leaned in a bit. Sasuke walked closer to where we sat.

"What?"

"Let me talk to her!" Neji quickly dismissed my shouting as he moved his head towards the opposite direction.

"Why?"

Sasuke being as impatient as I am took the phone from the brunette.

"HEY!"

"How's it going kid." The raven continued.

"Put her on speaker!" I shouted and he soon did so. 

"Hey Hinata!"

"O-oh hey Naruto."

Just hearing her voice made me smile.

"What did you tell Neji?" Sasuke asked.

"I've been transferred to a different prison."

"Why?" Me and Sasuke questioned in sync.

"For getting in trouble with the other girls-"

"Hinata! You're already getting yourself into more trouble?" Neji scolded.

"No! It wasn't my fault, those girls always had it in for me! They said that by stopping the problem they had to get rid of the problem." she explained bitterly.

Neji spoke after. "Well where is it?"

"Um, it's farther from the city. It's in a woman's institution down in Westwood area."

"Yeah that is farther away."

"Will they let friends visit?" I asked since in the other place she was held in did not.

"No, not without a family member there at least. Up to three family members and two friends at most, nothing over that limit."

"Oh thank goodness."

"So when can we visit?" Sasuke questioned next.

"Monday to Fridays, from 11a.m to 7p.m, and Saturdays only from 1 to 5."

'Shit' I thought.

"What happen, why did it get quiet?" Hinata asked.

"Oh nothing Hinata, our little dumbass here works on Saturdays, even though I told him not to."

"Overworking himself." Neji sighed, shaking his head.

"Oh no, well I'm sorry Naruto, I guess if you can't-"

"No! I can ask for time off, or work later, I want to see you too!" after my outburst, I could feel my cheeks flare up. 

"Jeez could you be anymore obvious." Sasuke whispered in my ear.

"Don't work yourself too hard Naruto." she giggled.

After hearing the system operator tell us that we only had a minute left to continue, we decided to finish up the call.

"Hopefully we'll see you soon Hinata."  Neji said.

"Same here. Well, bye guys. Love you Neji, Sasuke."

I slightly frowned. "What about me?" I whined a little frustrated.

I could hear her laugh through the other line. "Bye whiskers." she giggled before hanging up.

"hey.." I complained, but smiled afterwards from the nickname she once gave me.

"Could you blame her, she's practically like a sister to us." Neji implied.

I pouted. "But still."

"No buts, you need to finish these last twenty problems, and then on to the next three subjects."

"Sucks to be you." Sasuke whispered with a cup of coffee in hand as he took a sip from it.

I groaned in annoyance.

I really did set myself up for this one did I?
