=======================================================
Hinata panted as she dodged all the kunai
that flew at her, jumping further and further
away from her target to keep herself safe. She
threw a shuriken in the direction she saw a shadow,
dispelling the marksmen from that spot. She dropped
to the floor and sped to her initial target and just
as she was within reach of the item the marksmen came
from hiding and blocked her way.
The white eyes of the girl locked with those of
her cousin, both breathing a bit heavily. Neji
was the first to take the stance of hand to hand
combat, Hinata followed suit crouching a bit lower
and biting her lip, this was the part of training
she hated most.
Despite that she had become strong enough to be
ranked to Chuunin it bothered her to fight her
cousin. She was the first to make a move, sliding
her right foot forward and sending the attack of
her right hand towards his shoulder. As Neji blocked
and sent his attack towards her, she slipped into a
world of memory.
Hinata remembered sitting next to his bed side
in the Konoha hospital after having fought the six
armed sound ninja in order to retrieve Sasuke.
Neji’s surgery had gone well but his recovery was
a slow one and every day as he slept Hinata would
visit him and make sure he was well. One morning as
she watched him before she went to practice she heard
him speak so silently that she had to lean close to
his lips to hear what he said.
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me and all that I had
given to hate. Please. I’m sorry. . .Hinata-sama.”
Her eyes flew open in surprise as she stared
at her unconscious cousin, this was the person that
had hated her for as long as she could remember, the
boy that made her feel worth nothing, and he was
apologizing. Her surprise softened to pity, he had
a difficult life, and she felt that she would probably
be as hateful if she were like him. Without thinking
she leaned forward and carefully brought her cheek
to his, so gently is was if it wasn’t really happening
and she whispered to him “I forgive you.”
As she began to pull back she saw a tear roll
down Neji’s face. His whispering voice repeatedly
said please, as if her words were not enough, his
body began to quiver as if he was struggling not to
cry. Panicked Hinata leaned forward and kissed him
on the lips as softly as she could, *It will be my
way of erasing his sins* she thought to herself,
*the innocence of my lips to forgive him* thus was her first kiss.
“Hinata-sama! Do not become distracted!” Neji
told her sternly as he had helped her up from
the floor, “Had this been a real mission you would
have been dead!”
“Y-yes, Neji nii-san, I know.” She said taking
her stance again
He eyed her for a moment before taking his stance
also. “Once more”
_ _ _ _
Her pink head bobbed up and down as she ran through
an alley way, her forehead covered in nervous sweat.
She had managed to get some time away from the Konoha
Hospital for the first time in months; even if it was
just 15 minutes. Dodging in between buildings every time
she would hear someone coming, she had a motive, and she
wasn’t about to let anyone take that time away from her.
She caught her breath as she stopped in front of a flower
shop. She had reached her destination. Upon walking inside
she noticed a blonde girl organizing a flower arrangement
and she quickly composed herself. “Good afternoon Ino.”
Ino looked up from the center piece she was working
on and smiled a sly smirk, “It has been a long time
wide forehead.” She took quick notice of Sakura’s
nervous voice tone, “Have you come to buy a flower?”
Sakura bit her lip, wondering to herself how to phrase
her question, “Well, actually. . .”
The blonde smiled secretly to herself and released
a sigh; she was wondering when her childhood friend
would come looking for answers. “It’s about Sasuke isn’t it?”
The nervous medic-nin gulped loudly at the apparent
truth of the question. She had been hearing all the
rumors that had been floating about since the Uchiha’s return. . .especially the one of his engagement to
Hinata. So it was, of course, obvious that she had come
to the one person that would know about anything about
it. “Tell me. . .”
The cheeriness about Ino disappeared and a grim
shadow fell upon her pretty face, “It is said that
he specifically asked for the arrangement from the
Fifth Hokage first. When she approved he asked the
head of the Hyuga family and proposed the arrangement
to Hinata’s father. He agreed.”
Sakura could hear her heart beat so loudly it seemed
like she was within a giant bell tower. The tearing
feeling returned to her chest, it seemed like only
yesterday when Sasuke had disappeared that one night. . .
when he left her on the bench. “Wh-wh-why?”
Ino looked up again from the flower arrangement and
placed her serious gaze towards Sakura’s. The blonde
had long since abandoned her feelings for Sasuke, she
knew they would lead her to no where. But here was her
best friend, her life time rival, still head over heels
for the traitor of the village. “Come now Sakura-chan.
You must know deep down inside. Hinata-san is the only
one that can carry his name. With her noble blood, with
her power and bloodline, who else would be worthy enough,
but her?”
Her pink hair fell forward into her face. The knot in
her throat made it so difficult to breathe easily or
even breathe at all. The truth of her words hurt. And
this was why she hated Ino. “Arigato, Ino.” With that
she ran. She ran until she reached the gates of the
village. She did know. She knew just like Ino said,
but she had hoped that it wasn’t true.
She looked up and there stood the object of her
affections; walking with Hinata.
