Differences – Chapter 4: Hinata
When Hinata entered her home, the last person she expected to find waiting for her sitting on the couch was her younger sister. Hinata turned on the living room light and pressed her palm to her chest to calm her racing heart. "You startled me, Hanabi. Wh-Why're you're up so early? It's only a little after 6AM. You don't have to get up for school until 7."
Hanabi Hyuga, 5 years Hinata's junior sat on their sofa in her school uniform with an ankle crossed over her knee. She tapped her foot repeatedly on the carpet and smirked at her older sister. Folding her arms behind her head and reclining comfortably against the back sofa cushion, she narrowed her white eyes at Hinata's attire. Hanabi raised a dark brown brow when she noticed Hinata wearing someone else's clothes. Deciding to play with her sister for a bit, Hanabi responded. "Well, I woke up around 3 to grab an early morning snack. And on my way to the kitchen I noticed you weren't here sleeping on the sofa."
"Oh? Is that right?" Looking away from her sister to hide her blush, Hinata stepped fully into the living room and sat her purse on the coffee table. Sitting next to Hanabi on the sofa, Hinata stretched her arms above her head and mimicked her sister's sitting position. Closing her eyes, she continued. "Even still, it's much too early for you to be up at this hour. You should get some more rest, Hanabi."
"Did you get enough rest, Hinata?" Hanabi burst into a fit of giggles when one of Hinata's eyes opened and her blush darkened along her cheeks. "Because if I had to guess, I'd say you look well-rested. Or… maybe you're not. Tell me. Was he good? I mean, you are wearing his clothes and all. That shirt and those pants are clearly men's clothes. Even I can see that. And," she leaned next to her sister and sniffed Hinata's attire, "you even smell like a man.
"Your hair's tangled and matted. And," Hanabi's white eyes narrowed when she noticed the pearl earrings gleaming from Hinata's ears. "Wait! You didn't always have those earrings!" Inspecting them closer, she gasped and shouted, "Ohmigod! And they're real! Did the guy you fucked last night buy you those? And…" her eyes focused on the light bruises on her neck, "hickeys! Oh, wow!"
"Hanabi…" Hinata drawled out, her soft tone laced with annoyance before closing her eyes again.
Chuckling lowly, Hanabi combed her fingers through her brown, chin-length bob and said, "Don't worry, sis. I won't pry. I was only teasing." A serious expression settled upon her face and she assured Hinata, "Look, I'm not going to judge you. Whoever this guy is, I'm just glad you found someone. Even if it was a one-night stand. You do the best to take care of the both of us and on top of that, school's stressing you out along with not having a job. So if you found someone to have a little fun with, enjoy yourself. You deserve it." Standing up, Hanabi stretched her limbs and looked over her shoulder at Hinata. "I'm gonna take a nap and then head out. Take care."
Hinata could only silently watch Hanabi enter her bedroom.
Early in the afternoon Hinata lay on the sofa, Hanabi long since left for school. She didn't shower because she didn't want to remove the faint traces of Naruto's scent from her skin. She was afraid she'd wash away the memories of the night they shared, even though she knew it was impossible. The short time they spent together was forever ingrained in her memory.
However the memories she wished she could wash away were also permanently embedded in her mind.
As much as Hinata tried, there were times events from her past replayed in her mind like the reruns of a wretched television series. Memories would sporadically emerge and there was nothing Hinata could do to stop them. This being one of those times. Her mind recapitulated the time when she was a sophomore in high school up until the moment she left home and never looked back.
7 years ago…
"You're worthless."
"How am I supposed to trust you to succeed me when you're a failure?"
"My attempts to improve your skills are futile. Your sister's a better candidate to be my successor."
For as long as she could remember since her mother's death, Hinata's heard those words from her father. And the more he recited them to her, the more she believed him. At the age 15 all Hinata wanted was her father's approval. And no matter what she did to try and earn his favor, he resented her. Her self-esteem and mental state suffered heavily for it.
Despite her current insolvent situation, Hinata actually comes from an extremely wealthy family. To the public citizens of the city, Hiashi Hyuga was a well-known and well-respected politician. However behind the scenes away from the inquisitive eyes of the public, Mister Hyuga was the top illegal arms dealer who sold heavy artillery on the black market. As the first-born Hyuga, Hiashi wanted Hinata to succeed him in his black market business and Hanabi to follow in his footsteps and have a career in politics. A year after his wife died, Hiashi trained his daughter in martial arts and weaponry.
Hiashi hoped the training would help Hinata cope with her mother's death and strengthen her resolve to deal with the malicious people on the black market. While Hinata showed promise to improve her self-defense skills in hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, it was her reserved nature for harmony that kept her stagnant.
For years the reverberating ringing of loud gunshots and painful bruises aching her muscles after many hours of training and sparring jarred Hinata's nerves. She knew her father was preparing her to take over the family business in the future and being an adept killer naturally came with the territory. However Hinata's heart wasn't in it. A few things kept her from pleasing her father and reaching her full potential. One: Hiashi was correct in his belief that Hinata desired harmony and peace. She didn't possess the resolve to hurt another person, let alone kill them. Two: She didn't want to control the family business. She had other dreams, dreams and goals that didn't involve illegal activity. Dreams that are now deterred thanks to her father.
Hiashi completely eradicated all hope that Hinata would grow out of her "little phase" and inherit the business. Instead he began to train Hanabi who showed more natural talent in self-defense, weaponry and potential to take over the Hyuga artillery trade.
Knowing she'll never gain Hiashi's approval, Hinata sought out acceptance from other people—namely the opposite sex.
At the age of 15 Hinata lost her virginity to a random boy in school after class. They were alone in the classroom cleaning when he approached her and told her she was beautiful. Within moments Hinata's panties were at her ankles, her skirt above her hips and she was bent over on the teacher's desk allowing the boy to pump her from behind. Within the blink of an eye the moment was over. The two of them continued their random trysts for several months until Hinata saw him lip-locked with another girl from class. Although there were no words or promises of a relationship between the two of them, she assumed since she gave her virginity to him, they were an item. It was yet another disappointment in Hinata's life.
Never revealing herself to the newfound couple, in a heart-broken slump, Hinata rounded the corner and jogged to the nearest girls' bathroom to weep. Looking at her reflection in the foggy, dirty mirror, Hinata scowled at her swollen, red eyes, puffed, pink cheeks and dry, cracked lips. She looked a complete mess and she was disgusted with herself and her actions because she knew better than to allow a boy to use her and throw her away. She was worth more than that… wasn't she?
After returning home later that afternoon and listening to Hiashi berate her again about her worthlessness, Hinata received her answer. And that led her to continue down her path of promiscuity with random boys from her school. She desperately sought attention and affection from other guys to validate her existence.
Hinata made a name for herself amongst her classmates due to her lascivious reputation. "Hinata Whore" was the name her schoolmates gave her and no matter how many times they called her that, she never let it show that it bothered her. On the outside she was stoic and hard, unfeeling. On the inside she was a turbulent storm of emotions, a depressing mess of a young woman. Dealing with the mental and emotional abuse from her father led her into the arms of many for solace. And this dangerous, irresponsible behavior continued for 2 years—until she discovered she was 3 months pregnant at the age 17. And she didn't know who the father was.
Scared and alone Hinata consulted the only person she knew who'd do something about her predicament—her father.
And it still remains the biggest regret of her life.
One clammy afternoon after Hinata entered Hiashi's office and looked past him and out the large floor-to-ceiling windows out into the murky skies of the city. It was a humid summer day, yet the city's buildings were drenched after the rain. The weather emulated her feelings impeccably. Hot, sodden, gray. She wore a large sweatshirt despite the muggy weather, covering her telltale baby bump, a navy, pleated skirt, white knee-highs and black penny loafers. She couldn't wear her school uniform's shirt without literally showing everyone she's expecting a baby on the way.
"Hinata," Hiashi's stern voice interrupted the cloudy thoughts of her life. "How many times have I told you to always look someone in the eye when you address them? It is rude to speak to a person without giving them your undivided attention."
Focusing her large, lavender eyes on her father, she apologized. "My sincerest apologies, Father."
Hiashi reclined in his leather desk chair and folded his arms over his chest. His white eyes narrowed on his eldest child and he released a heavy sigh. Looking at her stern countenance he knew she was about to revel something weighty and dire. He had to mentally prepare himself for it. "What is it?"
There was no point in hesitating, avoiding the inevitable so Hinata flatly told her father the truth. "I'm 3 months pregnant. And-And I don't know what to do." There. The truth was revealed and even though she mentally prepared herself for the moment, her resolve shook when she spoke those words because it was her reality. This wasn't a nightmare that she'd eventually wake up from. This is what her life has become—a fucking mess.
Her eyes watered, tears filling them but not spilling. Her body trembled as a plethora of memories involving many trysts with various boys from her school raced through her mind. It could be anyone. She lost count a long time ago with how many she's slept with. Here she was, the daughter of a wealthy, famous and beloved politician and crime lord, carrying the unborn bastard child from a random boy from her school. If the press finds out about this, they'd have a field day dragging Hiashi's name in the mud. Hinata's promiscuity would very well ruin her father's reputation, future elections and everything he worked so hard to build over the years. Not to mention she, along with her child, would become targets from enemies he assimilated from the black market. She always knew she was a failure per her father's words, but at this moment standing in front of his desk in his office, she truly, deeply felt it. And the pain hurt like hell. It made her gut clench and bile rise in her throat. She swallowed hard and instinctively wrapped her arms around her gently swollen belly, as if to protect her unborn child from the inescapable wrath of her father.
Hiashi's poker face remained erect, impenetrable as a sturdy shield. The only thing that gave away his emotional state was a slight raise of his dark brown eyebrow. But his brow lifted and relaxed so quickly Hinata blinked several times, wondering if she imagined it.
If she could've predicated what would've happened next, what he was about to say she would've wished he'd gone on an angry tirade. She would've wished he'd became irate and threw things around his office, called her a whore, and tell her one more time that she was a worthless failure. And yet, what Hiashi was about to say to her was abhorrent, so vile those words still affected her to this day, like a poison slowly damaging her system, forever ruining her.
"Get rid of it."
Not sure if she heard him correctly, Hinata gulped and dared to speak again. "I'm-I'm sorry. What was that?"
"I said," Hiashi's voice still remained eerily calm, even, unwavering. "Get rid of it. You heard me the first time, Hinata."
"Bu-B-But…" Hinata began to lose her cool. Many emotions wracked her body to the point she had to grip the back of one of the chairs in front of his desk to keep from keeling over. Terminate her pregnancy? That was never a thought that crossed her mind. While she understood why Hiashi wouldn't want to deal with the rigors of being a grandfather to an incompetent daughter, a tiny part of Hinata was elated she was pregnant. She could finally have someone to call her own; someone who'll love her unconditionally and she'll love them back just as much. She'd give her child the love she only experienced from her mother. However her father wanted her to kill her baby. She couldn't do that! Never!
"Look at you," Hiashi continued, ignoring his daughter's mental, emotional and physical state. "You're a mess. You're incapable of taking care of yourself. You've proven to be a weak successor to my empire, and now you're pregnant. If you can't hold your own, how can you expect to care for a child? I'll repeat myself one more time: get rid of it." Straightening his back, he began to casually shuffle the papers that littered his desk. "You may leave."
If she was looking for clemency from her father, at that moment it was futile. Hinata knew Hiashi wanted nothing to do with her or her unborn child. And so she righted herself and exited his office without another word.
A week later Hinata lay in her hospital bed recovering from surgery. The night after the confrontation with Hiashi, she had a black market abortion performed on her at an abandoned apartment building. Days after illegally terminating her pregnancy, she suffered from extreme abdominal pain and heavy, erratic, vaginal bleeding. After being rushed to the emergency room when her cousin Neji discovered her unconscious in her bed drenched in blood, she later found out the illegal abortion implemented on her caused an infection to fester in her uterus. A hysterectomy was performed to rid the infection; however the surgery left her infertile. And all that remained today were stretch marks, belly fat, and that damned jagged scar stretching her midsection.
Once Hinata was discharged (and after Hiashi had paid an undisclosed amount of money to keep Hinata's situation from the press), she confronted her father and told him she was leaving. Unsurprisingly Hiashi doesn't try to stop her. Hinata continued saying she's taking Hanabi with her to keep her sister from enduring the cruel fate of the Hyuga family. Surprisingly Hiashi agrees Hinata caring for Hanabi is for the best. And that was the day Hiashi's face still remained in the city's politics, as the kindhearted, fair politician and Neji took over the black market arms business.
Hinata had more than enough money saved from being the daughter of a multi-millionaire to move on her own. So she rented a one-bedroom apartment and gave the bedroom to Hanabi while she slept on the sofa. The rest of the money she kept in her savings account, wanting to give it to Hanabi for college. She completed high school, no longer indulging in the pleasures of the opposite sex. Because of the horror of enduring a botched abortion and having her uterus removed, Hinata vowed to remain celibate. And she kept her promise of celibacy for 5 years.
She barely passed her classes but still managed to earn her diploma. She found a job and enrolled in night school to study to become a nurse. She wanted to help people (especially girls) any way she could, making sure they wouldn't suffer the way she had.
For 5 years the Hyuga sisters lived in harmony until Hinata lost her job. And the loss of her job led her into the arms of Naruto Uzumaki…
Hinata's pearl eyes shot open and she instantly rose into a sitting position. Shaking her head to free her mind of her past, she looked at the digital clock on her end table and sighed in relief. 2:13PM. The rent office wasn't closed. She still had more than enough time to pay her back rent and purchase groceries because her kitchen was bleak.
"I've slept long enough. It's time to get up and complete my errands." She padded to the bathroom to wash last night's escapade from her body to prepare for the rest of the day.
Two weeks later Hinata visits Ino at the candy shop she owned. Together the women sat in Ino's office and Hinata snacked on a bag of cinnamon atomic fireballs she favored so much. Ino raises a quizzical blonde brow at her best friend and asks, "How can you eat those things and not get sick? Ugh! Those things are gross!"
"They're delicious!" Hinata grinned at the blonde.
Rolling her blue eyes, Ino muttered, "Whatever." Leaning on her desk, she looked Hinata straight in the eyes and said, "So Madame Tsunade told me you're not working for her anymore. Tell me what happened."
Opening her purse that rested in the empty chair across from Ino's desk, Hinata placed the rest of her candy in it and zipped her purse again. Swallowing the cinnamon confection, she cleared her throat and gave her best friend vague details about the night she shared with Naruto.
"And… And he opened up to me. He told me a few personal things about himself and… and…" Nibbling her bottom lip, Hinata's eyes shifted from Ino's curious face to the laptop on her desk. She purposefully averted Ino's gaze so she would have the courage to continue. "He told me he wants to get to know me better. And… And that he wants kids… lots of them."
Hinata dared to look at her best friend again and Ino's face softened in understanding. Ino was the only person Hinata ever told about her salacious, despicable past, so she knew the subject of children was a sensitive topic for the brunette. "Even though we only shared one night… I think he likes me. He really likes me. And… And I really like him, too. But I can't give Naruto what he wants. He'll dispose of me if he finds out I'm damaged goods. That I can't bear children. And Ino… I…" Hinata's voice shook and her shoulders quaked when she tried to unsuccessfully control her sobs.
"Oh, Hinata." Ino quickly rose from her desk to sit in Hinata's lap. She cradled the back of the brunette's head and rested it comfortably on her shoulder. Rocking her best friend back and forth, Ino told her, "I support your decision, Hinata. You did what you felt was best for the both of you. And you're strong. You'll get through this. I know you'll pull through."
Circling her arms around Ino's midsection, Hinata sniffled and said, "It doesn't make any sense. I shouldn't feel this way because I barely know him."
"You can't help how you feel," the entrepreneur assured her. "But you do have the power to control your situation. And you're doing that. Again, you're going to get past this."
Together both women silently took comfort in each other's arms, lost in their own thoughts.
Two weeks later Naruto jovially entered Tsunade's office at The Dollhouse, gleefully whistling a tune he made up. Greeting the Madame cheerfully, the blond plopped himself in one of her chairs in front of her desk and began to speak. "Sorry I was gone for a while. I had a month-long conference out of town to discuss opening another restaurant."
"Oh, really?" Tsunade gently smiled at her favorite customer and asked, "How did it go?"
"It went great, y'know?" Naruto's eyes brightened and he pumped his fists. "I'm excited another Ichiraku Ramen restaurant will open in the future! And tonight I wanna celebrate my success with my favorite doll!"
Lifting a playful brow at Naruto, Tsunade knew who he was referring to. It amused her nonetheless to see his reaction when she had to tell him his favorite doll no longer worked for her. "You have a favorite doll, you say? And who might that be?"
"I sure do, Grandma! And it's Cinnamon, of course!" Leaning forward in his seat, the restauranteur gleefully smiled at the Madame and excitedly rubbed his palms together, already imagining the wonderful time they'll spend together at his penthouse. "I have so much planned for the two of us tonight." His smile stretched wider and he asked, "So, how soon can you have her at my place?"
Leaning back in her chair, Tsunade released a gloomy sigh. She suddenly felt guilty about teasing him with the knowledge of Hinata no longer working for her. She could see Naruto had taken a liking to Hinata and that's a rarity considering he treated all of her other dolls the same. How was she going to break the news to him?
"I'm afraid Cinnamon is no longer employed here." Tsunade stated the truth forward and simply.
Naruto's face immediately scrunched into a frown. A scowl curled his lips and his hands gripped the arms of the chair before saying, "What do you mean?"
"It seems after spending the night with you, she terminated her employment."
"WHAT?" the blond bellowed as he quickly stood from his chair and slammed his hands on her desk. "I demand that you find her now!" he roared at the Madame.
A deep frown crinkled her exquisite face and her voice dripped with venom as she said, "You will not come into my office, raise your voice at me and disrespect me. Do you understand?" Not giving Naruto a chance to respond, Tsunade called out to her subordinates Tenten and Ino. "Mistress? Beautiful? Deal with him immediately!"
Within a flash Tenten and Ino pulled out their guns and approached him, pushing the cool metal of the barrels at each side of Naruto's head. The bullets clicked into the chambers and Naruto didn't even break into a nervous sweat from the sounds.
"You see these lovely ladies are ready to kill you at my command. Remember your place, boy. Or your brains will be splattered all over this room."
"Heh." Speedily reaching inside his dark blazer, Naruto retrieved 2 gold-plated handguns and thrust them under Tenten and Ino's chins. Looking down at Tsunade who remained seated at her desk, he gave the Madame a malevolent grin before saying, "It'll be a 3-way bloodbath in this room, Granny. We'll all die today. Do you really wanna lose your best dolls?" The bullets of his handguns clicked in the chambers, proving to Tsunade he was serious about taking Tenten and Ino out.
"Beautiful? Mistress?" Tsunade called out to her dolls again. "Stand down."
Lowering their weapons, Ino and Tenten stood at either side of Tsunade again, their eyes hardened at the ostentatious blond who also pocketed his weapons in his holster again.
Sitting down again, Naruto pulls out a stack of bills and tosses it on Tsunade's desk. "There's the usual advance. Find Cinnamon."
Unimpressed with the amount he gave her, Tsunade calmly slides the stack back to Naruto. "What do I have to do to get it into that thick skull of yours? Cinnamon doesn't work here anymore."
Reaching in his pocket again, Naruto tosses another stack on money on the desk. "That's double the advance. I want information on Cinnamon's whereabouts."
Still upset about the confrontation that transpired moments ago, Tsunade knew she could get more money from her beloved customer. Naruto owed her after causing a ruckus in her office. And she was going to milk him for what she could.
Purposefully prolonging the conversation, Tsunade wonders, "Why are you so fixated on Cinnamon? We have plenty of other dolls for you to choose from. For all the years The Dollhouse serviced you, you've never had a preferred doll before. Why's Cinnamon so special?"
Naruto doesn't fall for the obvious ruse. Determined to leave her office and get his celebratory night started, he tells her, "I'll pay you triple the amount if you can get Cinnamon in my bed tonight. That's all." He stands and smoothed imaginary wrinkles from his clothes before leaving without another word.
After his departure, Tsunade turns to Tenten. "Mistress? I need you to leave. It's imperative I speak to Beautiful alone."
"Yes, Madame Tsunade." Tenten respectfully bows to her superior and exits her office.
Once she was gone and the office door shut, Tsunade faces Ino and says, "I demand you tell me everything, and I mean everything you know about Hinata."
Tenten entered a nearby bathroom and after making sure she was alone, she pulled out her cell phone. Dialing the familiar number by heart, she speaks into the receiver once she recognizes the acquainted voice. "It's about Naruto Uzumaki. He's taken quite an interest in Hinata. His admiration could prove troublesome for you."
