For the next two days and nights they stayed there the other often brought them meals, clothes, anything they needed. He answered any questions they asked him about his kind-except a few things he wouldn't or couldn't answer.
Like how his kind healed.
"It is difficult to describe" he answered "we can separate our spirit from our bodies and turn it into white energy. With this energy we can enter any injury and work at it from an pure molecular level. We are able to cleanse any illness, heal injury and prevent most scarring. It takes A LOT of concentration and constant focus as well as knowledge of biology. Most Carpathian can heal the basic way, but we also have healers who can heal more serious situations, who can also heal the mind. When you are in life-or-death situations, you need to know that sort of thing."
"Can you give us a demonstration of this healing?"
He frowned "in what way?"
Shino hesitated thoughtfully "examine me. I wish to experience this for myself." The blonde cocked his head "Are you sure your hive will allow it?"
"They will not react unless they are willed to. Do not do anything.....aggressive."
The blonde frowned but moved the two or three steps to his side "I need skin contact." The bug-nin pulled back his sleeve and offered him his bare wrist. After waiting for a lone bug to scurry under the sleeve and back inside the recess with the others he wrapped both hands around the limb and his eyelids lowered halfway. He became utterly motionless, not even seeming to breathe.
"Well?" Kiba asked their teammate.
The bug-nin spoke evenly "it feels as though there is an warmth moving through me. I have never felt anything like it before. It is both soothing and comforting, like...." he seemed unable to describe it accurately. "...My Kiki are in no way alarmed or alerted by him. They seem content and accepting. This has never happened before, even with my family or clan. I feel some sort of connection between them, almost like he is a part of the hive."
When the other blinked and released him to step back he looked at him "do you commune with insects?"
The blonde nodded "we are connected to nature, all animals and life, fauna, flaura, EVERYTHING. That includes insects such as scorpions, spiders, beetles, all of it" Followed by a complement "you Kiki are definitely fascinating. Each one is as individual as you and together they make an entire being like yourself. It is no wonder you are such an good unit" he smiled "they even in their way thanked me for aiding you."
The bug-nin nodded "I think if you were to ever approach us again they would not object."
The blonde gave what they could only describe as an bow and said formerly "I am honored by your trust."
After that the bug-nin readily accepted the blonde as who and what he was. Even Kiba after he demonstrated his ability to change shape, the two male ninja's confirming he felt, looked and smelled like the animal in every way, even to Hinata's Byukugan.

That night when they lay in her bed together she asked him "will I...will I be able to change shape and talk to Shino's Kiki and Akamaru if I become one of your kind?"
He smiled at her "you will be able to do everything I can." Her face lit up "you mean...I'll be able to heal like you?!"
His laugh was good-natured "that is what you are excited about? I would have thought you would have been more excited about flying."
She froze and looked at him "flying?"
He grinned "when I said we can take the form of anything, real or mythological, I MEANT anything."
"So I could become....a bird and fly?!"
He nodded "a bird, a dragon, an wild cat, wolf, you name it, you can become one. You can became a wolf and run through the forests, an eagle and soar through the sky, an fish to swim the mighty oceans, an mole or insect tunneling through the earth or a simple housefly, spying on your teammates. You can even become nothing but vapor or part of the very air itself."
Her eyes were wide as he spoke. If all this was true, he would be the most powerful man in all of the Elemental Nations and beyond!
"Carpathians don't need the sort of power you think of. All we want to do is live our lives with our lifemates and people, like anyone else."
"But your abilities would make you the most powerful ninja out there!"
He stroked her hair as he spoke "we don't NEED to use our abilities for war. Our people have already been decimated by war once before and with the fight between the vampires, Xavier and our people currently, we have no wish to be part of another."
She could understand, but.....
"If you and I are going to marry, then that makes you part of our society and therefore part of us. I am Carpathian and so will you be. You will no longer be human, but one of us, part of OUR society and Prince Mikhail will be you prince as well."
She frowned at him "so becoming like you means that my clan and family will no longer matter" she looked at him, face angry, and all he could think was how beautiful she was when mad.
However he frowned at her "family and clan are the most important things, especially to those who live a long time. Of course they matter. You will always love and care for them-that will never change-but you will no longer be a part of that world."
He looked her deep in the eyes "if you had of married this...other man, and he told you he didn't want you to be a ninja anymore, what would happen?"
She thought about it "I would be expected to do so."
"And because I am not human-as you will be-how is this different?" She knew he had a point.
He added "you do not fully understand yet. The only thing that keeps a Carpathian male from going vampire is his lifemate. He relies on her light and very presence to keep him anchored to the world. If you were to be killed on one of your so-called missions...." his face twisted and he shook his head "can you imagine all that in someone who just wants the world and everyone in it to burn?"
When Hinata opened her mouth to tell him she wasn't going to die, he spoke before she could "you can not say dying is not an possibly. What would have happened if I didn't interfere THIS time?"
She knew he was right. There was no telling what would happen on any mission. She could be found and killed or captured or even raped let alone tortured. This was one of the things taught in the academy. And with her being the Hyuuga heiress there was an higher chance of rape as the enemy would want the byukugan for themselves.
After all, wasn't that why she was kidnapped as a child?
"So when we marry you want me to quit being an ninja."
He frowned at her "when we return to your village I will be organizing with your leader AND your clan to have it happen ASAP. As soon as you are able to be safe the better. We haven't bonded or shared blood yet, both of us are in an dangerous tenable position. Until the change and our minds are fully connected to each others, I am still at danger of turning. Maybe not as much as some since I am young still, but if you were to be injured, kidnapped or to die....without you in my mind to anchor me the beast inside me-the savage animal soul all male Carpathians share-would go out of control. If that were to happen only another Carpathian could stop me. Without one here, you would have no choice but to kill me."
"NO!" Hinata snapped and he smiled at her reaction. "How do I become one of your kind?"
"It involves three blood exchanges. I would take your blood and then feed you mine. Each exchange would work on your body, reshaping your organs and enhancing your senses further than an human's, even your teammates. You would be able to hear further, see more accurately and the night will seemed like daytime to you. Taste and touch will be all the more accurate and acute. You will be able to reach out with your mind to touch others, human, animal, the trees and very earth. As an creature of nature, most it's creatures will aid you or answer your call and you will understand them. You will be able to sense things around you further than you can imagine, minds or by blank spots.
We can live a long time-longer than humans and stay younger longer-and we are also difficult to kill. Only by removing the heart from the chest and incinerating it, followed by the body.
But their IS a price for these gifts. If I were to die, you would descend into an destructive melancholy where you would become nothing more than a ghost wandering like an vacant doll. I would loose control of my beast, turning against anyone and everyone, becoming either vampire or meeting the next dawn to die. Sunlight burns us like flame and can kill us.
Some Carpathian males when they can no longer live with the darkness and beast crouching inside them and loss of feeling and emotion will lay out in the light of the dawn to die.
When my father was able to escape Xavier he attempted to do this before mother found him."
Hinata was saddened by this, that some of his kind thought there was no longer any hope for them and would let themselves die in such a painful way.
"We sleep like the dead buried deep in the earth until the sun sets of a night. While we lay there we are completely helpless, vulnerable, unable to move or react except for the early hours of sunrise and sunset. Without our safeguards or any sort of protection someone aware of our position could destroy us before we could even defend ourselves. Even our vast mental abilities are useless at this time. Some of us have humans that help aid us, humans trusted with our protection during those times, trusted humans. They are considered family in some way and as they protect and trust us with their lives, we trust and protect them."
She blinked at him "so you DO associate with humans? I though your kind was secret."'
"There ARE those who we allow to know of our existence, trusted humans. As I said most are family of some sort, for example-through our lifemates-a few others have proven themselves to be worthy of that belief. For instance one, close friend to the Prince, is helping us find how to keep our children alive the first year of their lives. So far they are successful."
Hinata frowned "why are your children dying?"
"Xavier put mutated microbes called extremophiles into the earth and waterways all over the world. These microbes enter a male while he sleeps and HE passes them to the woman during sex. THIS is what is weakening our children in the womb. Our children can no longer nurse from their mother and need to be fed and cared for in other ways. They do not sleep in the earth and can function during the day, so need protection. My mother discovered a lifeform that kills those microbes so there is hope. Our healer and the others-including the human that the Prince trusts-are trying to find a way to spread the lifeform around the world fast enough and any female currently pregnant and her lifemate are being charged with sleeping in it. So far, things look hopeful."
Hinata blinked "so your mother found the cure?"
"It took a long time for Xavier to contaminate us, it will take just as long to destroy it, but for now at least we can protect our mothers while they carry."
Hinata was silent, thinking, trying to process everything he had told her over the last few nights, including now.
If she married him in HIS way her possible children risked death in the first year of life, but they DID have a possible cure AND she was sure Tsunade-sama could help greatly in that way.
She would be totally helpless during the day and would have to watch everyone she knew and loved grow old and die while she remained young and vital.
Sunlight would burn her-even kill her.
She would no longer be a ninja, a member of team Kuranei. They would have to replace her. (Possibly Sakura-san. Team 7 broke up long ago with Naruto-kun missing and Sasuke Uchiha a traitor and missing nin.)
Could she do that to her team? Leave them like that? She knew as clan heirs they would understand, after all, Shino himself was newly married by his father's will this past month and Kiba had his eye on someone-another Inuzuka-but could she just leave her team like that? They worked together as an well-oiled machine due to so long together, to leave now would screw up their dynamic and force the other two to have to learn to fight along side someone else.
But if she couldn't travel or be out in daylight, what use what she be to them anyway?
She would have to talk to the others about this.
Something occurred to her. He had said she would be able to heal like him. She would be able to realise her greatest dream. Yes, she wanted to free her clan from the caged bird seal, but her greatest wish all her life-the ONE THING she had dared to want for herself-was to become a healer like Tsunade-hime. She wanted to be able to help people, her fellow ninja and anyone else who needed it. She was a ninja because it was expected of her, to work for the village and prove clan Hyuuga strong, but ever since she was a child she wanted to be a healer or medic. She even would willingly work in the hospital.
The blonde's head cocked at her "you want to help, not hurt. To some people it is a calling all their lives, but circumstances interfere. I would teach you everything I know as would my parents. If it is your wish, we could query with our greatest healer if you could receive training with him. If your gift is strong you would be extremely valuable to both races."
At her excitement he shook his head "think about it first, seriously. It can not be your ONLY motivation."
He was right and it wasn't fair on him. She had gotten so excited and had in her haste been prepared there and then to consent, but making a major life-changing decision like that based on her desire to help people only was just wrong.
She didn't know how they functioned buried in the earth without being able to breathe and just the thought terrified her, made her feel claustrophobic, but obviously it did and she was sure he would tell her how if she asked.
In fact he had been remarkably open with them-her mostly-since he saved them. He had told them things Hinata was sure he shouldn't and told them nothing but truth, only keeping to himself the most private and important things she thought might endanger his race.
When they were alone he would speak gently, considerate of her feelings and she felt that during those times until she fell asleep, she got to know him well.
Which was an advantage really. When she married the man her father had picked out it would be an arranged marriage only, she was sure that she wouldn't love him. All it would be was a way to give the Clan head another heir, maybe one that didn't disappoint him like she had. The man would only be obligated to impregnate her, not care for and love her.
If she married Naruto she would have someone she could definitely see as a friend, he had already told her-in front of her teammates no less-he loved her, therefore showing he cared enough about her to not care who knew. He didn't care about pride when it was to make her feel better about herself.
He could DEFINITELY protect her as well as showing he cared about her dreams and wants. He called her beautiful, talented, said she had an sexy body and showed it in his eyes when he looked at her and touched her.
He provided them with good food, expensive or at least good quality clothes, shelter, warm beds, protection from discovery by the enemy. He had saved them from death, healed them with no scars or missing limbs.
He was prepared to do whatever it took to make her happy, even if it made himself uncomfortable, and the same to ensure her father accepted HIM as her new husband.
She began to think she wouldn't mind being married to him.
She turned her thoughts to the positive of going through this change.
She would be remarkably hard to kill.
Her senses would increase incredibly and because the byukugan was a sight ability, probably THAT would also increase.
She would finally be able to satisfy her father in skill, since her speed and strength as well as her senses would be enhanced.
She could become the healer she always dreamed of becoming.
Something occurred to her, his 'safeguards'. She wondered if they could be used on the caged bird seal. Even if they couldn't remove them, even if it just blocked the ability to cause pain, it would be worth it. Without that the main branch could no longer threaten the branch members into becoming their virtual slaves.
She looked at him, making sure the question was in her mind and eyes.
"I would have to examine one first" he explained "I spoke to my parents and they assured me that if THEY can not, they would seek the opinion of the others of our race."
Hinata's smile to him was grateful. He had ALREADY spoke to his family, knowing this was important to her. Another point towards him for her.
She turned her thoughts back to her previous.
She could understand and become part of nature, being able to communicate with ANY animal, wild or not, even Akamaru and Shino's bugs. If what he said was true, even the earth and trees.
Idlely she wondered if that included ALL types of summons.
She could change shape into animals and creatures of the earth, make her body like mist or even disappear and become part of the air itself.
She could read and control human minds.
She would be part of a race that saw each other as brothers and sisters and protected and treated each other as such. His parents would love and welcome her with open arms inviting her into their midst and even teach her everything she wanted to know.
Through her and her family in Hidden Leaf he would have an connection to the village, just as she would to his clan and kind.
She decided to ask him something about the change "you said three blood exchanges, why?"
"Carpathian blood is very potent. Each exchange gives the human body time to accept and adapt to the change. It CAN be done in less, but from what I'm told it is very painful and even some see it as a little humiliating, best not to shock the body too much and do it in three."
"Humiliating in what way?"
As the human body changes the Carpathian blood has to flush all mortal toxins from the system, in ANY WAY."
Hinata realized what he was saying and blushed. Then realized something of what he had just said "you said human and mortal, not lifemates. Does this mean not only lifemates can be changed?"
"Yes a few have, but it's extremely dangerous. When a lifemate is turned the male will be there with her, anchoring her mind with his, soothing her and helping her through the entire process.
Vampires and others have tried turning human woman before, but those females have gone insane and become nothing but evil insane seductresses who kidnap, feed off and kill children and must be destroyed. Only gifted women like yourself can be lifemates and changed successfully."
She frowned "no men have ever been changed before?"
"Three only and they have needed constant supervision and monitoring to ensure their beast doesn't compel them to do what they should not. THEY TOO were gifted. One was Jaguar, another was an descendant of one and the third was unusual in every way. His gifts were varied from speed and strength to some sort of magic never seen before. To this day, no one knows who he was or where he came from. Even himself."
Hinata blinked. That last one, was he talking about himself? She wanted to ask but decided now wasn't the time so she asked about the other confusing part "Jaguar? Is this one of the other races you mentioned? Tell me about them."
"There are five we know of. Jaguar, Lycan, Mage, Panznicii De Toate, Carpathians and humans. Jaguar are shape-shifters who can take the form of said cats. Their race is dying out, mostly by their own hands. Males are impregnating females then leaving them to raise alone. So the females are finding mates and the love they need among other races-mostly humans-so the bloodline is being weakened and dying out. My great grand uncle has mated with one, a princess, a pure royal blood of their race. Lately some males have become corrupted by vampires and are doing the unthinkable."
"What?"
"Finding females hidden among humans, kidnapping them, torturing and if they show enough blood for their cat to shift to protect them, raping them to get children they can turn into more of them. If they don't, murder them."
This horrified Hinata. It was bad enough that ninja risked or went through this, but kidnapping some woman from an happy family life because of what she MIGHT be and then turning her into a baby factory when it was their own fault this happened....
"There are still good men of their race out there, men sickened and horrified by what their own racesex is doing to others. One-Loise-even almost lost his life trying to save the Princess, her little cousin and an Lycan from one of those groups. He was one of those males turned. And when he saved them, he saved many others."
"What do you mean?"
"The Lycan was bound to an very powerful Carpathian at the time. They were bound but not completely, her death would have driven him over the edge and to become vampire. Plus the princesses little cousin? She had previously been one of those victims rescued and was pregnant."
Hinata understood "so this Jaguar man....they owed him a debt of honor for it."
"Mary-Anne, the Lycan-begged her lifemate to save him. While he may have been inclined before to let him pass in peace, when the Princess added her voice despite her hate of the males of her own race, he was bound to try. However doing so made him directly responsible for the male from that moment on. An Jaguar's cat spirit is all things the animal is, wild, ruthless, without mercy. Carpathian animal nature is doubly so. If Loise rose as vampire, insane and deadly it would be his and his responsibility ALONE to hunt him down and destroy him. Any lives he killed and families would be his fault."
"But did he?"
"Last I heard he was trying to help his people. He may no longer be an Jaguar, but he's committed to helping his former race."
"What about the other races?"
"Lycans are hidden among human society. They are usually protectors, like law enforcers, hunters, politicians, that sort of thing. They were so well hidden that they were seen as either legends or extinct. That was until Mary-Anne Delany.
Lycans are....different. They are similar to us AND Jaguar, but not the same. Carpathians and Jaguar have their animal, their beast inside them that is an true animal soul. However an Lycan has an guardian, an intelligent animal being who can rush to the front to protect their bodies. They are an separate entity with their own personality."
To Hinata it sounded like one of the Jinchiriki's.
"Similar I would say but the wolf guardian is something they are not only born with but hidden deep until needed. They work WITH their 'host' and desire only what they wish, whether its love and family or to protect others. As with Carpathians and vampires, SOME bad elements in the Lycan race have lead to the rise of legends and fear, but they are not like that. They police their own race as well. In fact because of this they have recently come to clashes with us over trying to kill off one of the other races, the Panznicii De Toate, or Guardian-Of-All. My sister Skyler and her lifemate are one, as is HIS brother and hers."
"What legends?"
"You call them werewolves."
Her eyes widened "Werewolves are REAL as well?!"
"Lycans. As with any legend, they are exaggerated or out-and-out lies."
"Why would this race persecute your sister and brother-in-law's clan?"
"The Guardians are only new as a race. So far we only know of eight, Skyler and Demetri, his brother Fenris and HIS and HER sister and her mate Zev and Mary-Anne and Mantolito. They came from mixed blood, first Fenris, his brother, Zev and then Mary-Anne and Mantolito. Essentially Carpathian blood exposed to the strength and power of an Lycan too long. They adapt, becoming a mix of both races, without an Carpathians vulnerability to sunlight."
"So this race doesn't like that these half-bloods exist?"
"As with both races there have been bad elements. The Lycan call them the Sangeru. They REFUSE to believe there is a difference between them and the Panznicii De Toate."
To Hinata this sounded wrong. But his next comment surprised her "your teammate-Kiba-remindes me a little of the Lycans."
She gasped "you think he might be one?!" But he laughed at this "no, but he bares some similarities to them. I scanned him and he does not have their unique mental patterns however it is possible somewhere in his clan's line that they had some sort of contact with them. Whether that was through breeding or they are descendants of one, I do not know."
"You told us about your race, Carpathians, and I KNOW about humans, what about the other... Mage."
"Yes. They were humans who bore an unique ability to manipulate the energies of the planet into various spells or incantations."
"Sounds like Sages" Hinata commented and he blinked at her "Sages?"
"Yes, umm..." she tried to think of a way to explain it "they can manipulate the energy of nature for jutsu's." He looked at her "how many of these....Sages, are there?"
"I only know of two, The Sage Of The Six Paths and the Toad Sage, Jiriaya-san. But the Path Sage died hundreds of years ago and the Toad Sage hasn't been seen in years, since....." she chocked off and he sensed her thought "since the last time Naruto-kun was seen alive. He's still looking."
"Humm. Perhaps I should seek out this Jiriaya, see just how similar he is to an Mage."
Hinata shook her head "please don't. He cared deeply for Naruto-kun in the time he was training him. It hurt him when he disappeared and he's been looking for a trace of him ever since. If YOU turned up but told him you are NOT he, it will just make the pain worse" Hinata sighed "it wil be the same for the Hokage. Lady Tsunade saw him as an nephew or little brother, she was so upset, she had people looking for years. But in this case we can't help it, you have to be seen by the Hokage before being allowed to wander around the village and talk to father and the elders."
He looked like he was going to say "I don't NEED permission", but decided against it, instead saying "I can change my appearance if it is your wish, until you are able to explain."
Her eyes lit up "really?! You can do that too?!"
He smirked at her thought "can I do that too?" to which he nodded "yes I can and yes you will be able to. Sometimes we can walk the streets just like any other mortal."
"Show me!" she challenged.
With an continuous smirk his body changed, going from tall and stocky to short and skinny, his hair red and short but streaked in black, white and orange and the eyes the strangest color she had seen. They were green, but not just any green, an metallic green.
She stared into them, fascinated. She found herself reaching up to touch his face and pull it down so she could look closer. He smiled at her reaction.
"Why these eyes?" she asked softly "not that I'm saying I don't like them."
"There IS a reason I choose them. These are the eyes of an seer where I come from, more importantly, an Dragonseekers eyes. My father and aunt have them, so did their father and my grand uncle and grandmother as well." He ran a hand through his hair "and the hair is my aunts."
She frowned "why don't YOU have them? Is it because of your mother?"
"Most Carpathians have black hair and eyes, except a few. The healer has silver eyes. The Savage twins have blonde hair and green eyes. A few others have different but the only cases of different eyes and skin otherwise are lifemates. Me, I'm unique."
"Why?" she finally came out and said it "Why are you so different? Why were you chosen to watch us?"
He looked into her eyes for a long time before a slow smile spread across his face. He cupped her face and leaned down to kiss her, a slow tender kiss that was barely an touch of lips but left her dizzy and with the peculiar feeling of being loved.
"It is almost dawn, lifemate. You and your team need to sleep deep this day for come the next rising we will make our way towards your home." And then he was gone.
She frowned after him. It seemed that while 'lifemates can not lie to each other', it didn't mean they couldn't evade it altogether.
"All will be explained once we reached your leader" his voice in her head answered.
"You promise?"
Amused he answered "my word. Do you not think it would be a better conversation when everyone who needs to hear it is in the same room to hear it?"
He had a point.
"Sleep well, lifemate."
She frowned "you keep calling me lifemate but rarely use my name. Why?"
"To us it's much more....intimate to use the term. It is similar to you using the term San or sama, but more like saying 'my wife' or 'my love'. If you wish I will stop..."
"No!" she said hastily, blushing "I only wanted to know."
"How about this" he reasoned "when referring to you, unless the situation calls for it, I will use your name. When talking directly to you, I will use Lifemate. Or if you wish, it can be the other way around."
Hinata thought about it seriously. She had only brought it up because she thought it strange he rarely called her by name. Over the past few nights of hearing it she had kind of gotten used to it, even liked it a bit. Well, more than a bit.
However part of her had though it was because while he didn't use it he could mentally keep a distance from her. Which seemed stupid now she thought of it.
NOW she saw it different.
In her clan she rarely called her family by name, instead using the terms for their relationship to her from 'neesan' and 'chichi' and even called her cousin 'niisan'. The only people she called by their names was ones she wasn't close to, didn't particularly like or when referring to, just like he said.
Which did she prefer though, that he call her by name when talking to her, but lifemate to others, or lifemate but by name to others?
Which brought up another thought, what was that thing he was calling her before? Cara something?
"Cara mia.Our world has hundreds of different languages and THIS term is one. Rough translation it means 'my heart,' 'my darling,' or 'beloved one.' Or would you prefer Sivamet-'my heart'?
"Language?"
"Different spoken words. A single word can be translated into another. In my world there is roughly 6500 spoken languages. For instance lifemate in OUR tongue is avio päläfertiil.
Another term for Vampire is hän ku tuulmahl elidet-or thief of life or life-stealer.
Isä is father. Lana is daughter. YOU would call me koje-or husband. I would call you päläfefertiil-wife or mate. Warrior is kont. My people, the Carpathians are karpatii. So on."
She hesitated then asked softly "what is brother?" He answered her without pause, readily "ekä."
"Ekka" she repeated but he said no, showing her where to emphasize and how to say it "I know you are thinking of your cousin."
In the Elemental Nations there was only ONE language everyone spoke, the idea of different ways of talking intreged her. "How many of these others do you know?"
"Three. Yours is remarkably similar to one called Japanese. Then I am of course fluent in my own. There is another called English and I am currently learning an older one called Latin which was used by Mages of the past for spells-similar to your jutsu's."
"Your jutsu's are in another of these languages?"
"Yes and no. Latin has always been an powerful language because it is old. It was said to be the very language used by the original Mages who created the spells. Spells-like your jutsu's-changed the more they were used and were passed from person to person. They can also loose something in translation. Can you imagine how powerful those spells would be if found again and used in their original glory?"
This she understood "so you're learning it so you can use them as they are first written?"
"Exactly."
"Are there many of those such things?" she asked curiously.

"While Mages as a race are not as old as us, they are older than some. Latin was once an very old spoken language as well as one of the first written ones. BECAUSE of it's age it is powerful, which is why it was used. Very few these days can actually speak it, let alone read or write it. Even very few of the oldest of our race can read it, let alone speak it, and they are thousands of years old."
This fascinated Hinata "can I....can YOU teach me some?"
"Not Latin, at least not yet. I can not learn it myself and teach you as well. I can not teach you English as well. If you like, I can teach you the language of my race."
She frowned "Why not English?"
"It is the most complicated language to teach or learn. They have so many meanings for one word it would take years to learn it."
"Oh, okay" the more she thought about it though, the more the idea of learning HIS appealed to her. She could talk to him in a way no one else would understand.
"We do that in our minds" he pointed out.
"I know, I meant out loud. Can we?"
"If it is your wish, yes" she felt he was pleased by her interest. "I do, I want to."
"We will have an advantage that will help you learn faster" he told her with an mental smile.
"What's that?" she asked curiously.
"It will be faster than normal humans because we can communicate through our minds. I can speak it out loud, you can read the meanings from my mind while I do so. By hearing the words out loud and learning the translation simultaneously, you will pick it up faster."
She accepted this when she felt an strange lethargy. “What’s happening?!”
“Dawn is approaching. During the day-except for the very early and late hours-I must sleep in the earth. I sleep deeply, like the dead, so you will not be able to get in touch with me.”
“Is that why you insist we sleep of a day?” He said simply “I can not protect you while I rest.”
She blinked then said “sleep well. I will see you when you rise.”
“Odam bur, jela lamti, kidu nelkul gond.”
“What does that mean?”
“Basically sleep well, Sunlight In A Meadow, rise without worry.”
“Sunlight In A Meadow?”
“Your name in Japanese translates to 'sunny place' or 'in the sun'. Your clan name Hyuuga means 'towards the sun'. So 'Sunlight In A Meadow' is an type of....” he hesitated then said slowly “A type of affection or nick name if you will.”
She realized what he was saying, he had made her an pet name of her own, not the other terms. Sunlight In A Meadow. She decided that she liked it. Even though sunlight was deadly to his kind, he thought of her as the light in an beautiful field, she could feel it, that’s what he was telling her.
“Thank you” she blushed “good day and I will see you next rising.”
