Sub Stained Pureness

Chapter 1: The Promise

It was beautiful spring morning, the cherry blossoms where gracefully waltz down from their designated areas to the ground where it waited to wilted away due for not enough abused had been treated. Yet the flower continue to wit away while a little girl who has short purple hair to her neck surrounded by flowers, she had tears streaming from her eyes as she poked one flower with the touch of her fragile finger.

Her lavender eyes blur the 20/20 eye sight that she had possessed.

She'd failed trying to protect the tree from the three boys who earlier that day who had climbed the tree and snatched the flowers from the tree her mother had grown. The tree that was only memory of her mother who she dear to her that recently passed away due to an unknown illness. And to top it off her own father had even blamed her for loss of this tree. He didn't believe her truth or the betrothal among them that they made when she was about four years about keeping tree alive for memento of her mother. He never believed in her or seemed to care about his daughter wellbeing nor did he ever acknowledge her beliefs she had thought of. Ever since her mother died, he had changed, like there was no point of living anymore.

The only thing he ever seemed to care for would be her academics in school, the brutal trainings she forced to do to become leader of clan, and expectation from her father she had to live up to. She wanted her freedom yet she would never tell her father this.

Hinata Hyuga, was this girl's name, she only five years old, and yet she expected to do many things from the elders of her clan which she could not fulfill by herself.

Alone, outside the Hyuga girl tried to gather scattered piece of the flowers that been ripped apart but she couldn't put them back together since little by little they were swooped away by the wind. She chased after the flowers but it was hopeless since they were going in every direction, she was only one person, there wasn't no point of her trying to get the flowers since all seem lost. Instead of chasing after something that seem pointless she decided to sit down on the porch near the dojo where her father probably was in process training her younger sister, Hanabi, who probably was struggling right now. When her father comes out he wouldn't bother to even acknowledge her presence or greet her to that matter. He pretended like she wasn't there.

Hinata sighed and looked up at the bright blue sky that had puffy white clouds scattered all around the sky. She noticed one particular cloud was afar from the others clouds. This reminded the Hyuga of herself quite a lot. Frankly, Hinata was too shy to ever make any friends therefore she never had any friends over her house or invited her to play at park. Like always Hinata tried to socialize with others yet it seemed like nobody wanted to play with her. Like, she lived in different world then everyone else did.

Sure, her family was rich and she excel in every subject but that didn't mean anything. To her father or elders nor council members. She still labeled as a failure of Hyuga clan.

She tried to work hard on her clan duties to be acknowledge by her father yet she was always out beat by her cousin, Neji. Unlike Hinata, Neji considered as a genius. Also, he competing against to the leader of the clan. Although, his chances were slim of being clan leader, he had potential that the elders wanted, and the council members were fond of him. Chances, were zero to none of him being clan leader yet that didn't stop him from trying to strive as leader. Since Neji's dad, Hizashi, was youngest and Hinata's dad, Hiashi, was oldest she's the heir to clan.

Regardless if she lack leadership, it's her duty to be the leader even though she's lacking in one particular subject that a Hyuga should-be excel already. For instance, her combat skills aren't the finest skills she has. She's lacking psychically and mentally. In her mind she doesn't want to hurt her opponent, she's thinking of how her enemy will feel if they get hurt. Hinata always had a soft spot for the Hyuga's who lost combat practice, she would run out to the one who been strike down first then from her pocket she would take out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from their forehead. Usually, she would tell the defeated opponent that she will be right back since she's going to get a first aid kit to tend their wounds but they just grimaced at before saying, "There's no need Miss Hinata, you shouldn't worry about someone lower status like myself." Yet Hinata didn't listen to the wounded person she just went to fetch the first aid kit then would tend to their wounds. Afterwards, her father would scold her for helping someone lower than she was. One thing for sure is that Hiashi would never hit her not once nor twice. He would use his words to scold her.

Anyway, Hinata was sitting down waiting for her father to exit the dojo to tell him that she sorry about what happened to the tree since she never had the chance because he didn't want to her. Now, she had an opportunity to talk to him one on one. She bit her lip nervously as she fiddle with her fingers. It took about two more minutes until he came out with Hanabi by his side who he had told to leave so he could talk to his oldest child alone. Once Hanabi was out of sight he called Hinata over to him. Hinata gulped before walking over to her father.

"We need to talk about something very important Hinata, follow me we are going to take a stroll through the woods." Hiashi said, not even bothering to look at his daughter as he start walking towards the woods.

Hinata followed shortly behind her as she grip her corner of her shirt.

"Listen, I know becoming the heir of the clan is a heavy burden to carry on your shoulders but if you don't become the leader of this clan then either Hanabi or Neji would be taking your place instead however I certainly protest to have your cousin and sister take your place so as your father I'm taking certain measures making sure you become the heir since you are first offspring of main family branch so as far as I know you have no choice to that matter so you will be the leader of clan no matter what happens, understand?" Hiashi explained it quite thoroughly to Hinata so descriptive which meant she wouldn't a choice to that matter.

"I...I...understand Father..." Hinata replied, uncertainly whether or if she wanted to become the heir. She didn't look at her father instead it was floor that her eyes were glued on.

"Hinata if you truly understand please look at me when you speak." His voiced was stern when he said this.

"Father I understand." Hinata repeated, this time she looked up at her father. Yet the Hyuga girl looked at her father he knew she was hiding something.

"Do you have something to say that I don't know?" Hiashi asked as he continued walking.

Hinata bit her lower lip. "Father if you don't mind me saying this but I have no desires of becoming heir to the clan." Her words voiced the truth.

Once Hinata had said this, Hiashi eyebrows furrowed before he instantly slap her across the face leaving a red mark on her cheek since her pale complexion was so white that if she ever got hit her wounds would show.

"How dare you say such things, Hinata! You have no choice in this matter! You will become the leader of the clan regardless what you want. You will be the leader! You are my offspring of the main branch so you will do as I say whether if you like it!" Hiashi shouted angrily as he roughly grab Hinata's arm pulling on to it when he walked.

"Please Father try to understand! Father please―" Hinata pleaded for her father to let go of her arm but she got cut short.

"Shut your pleading, Hinata!" Hiashi snapped before letting her arm free.

Hinata rubbed her arm tenderly as tears began to welled in her eyes.

"Quit your pathetic crying!" His words were so harsh to her that Hinata felt like ice daggers were stabbing at her chest. She felt so much pain. How her father was talking to her only made it worse since every time he would yell at her more tears would escape. Hiashi couldn't stand seeing his daughter cry so he decided to leave Hinata so she continued to sob.

She couldn't believe he had left her, or to matter, he didn't seem to care if she crying or not. Using the sleeve of her kimono she wiped away her tears, she balled her fist before clenching it. Somehow when Hinata ever cried, her father would walk away not even bothering to comfort the young Hyuga instead he would call her "weak" and say, "You're a disgrace to the Hyuga clan, Hinata." Those words make her want to cry but she would not now at least.

Only time Hinata ever cried when she didn't keep her promise and now. However Hinata was so hurt now that she couldn't control her emotions― or tears to that matter.

"Hina-chan!" A familiar voice called out.

This caught Hinata attention that it made her turned around to see a boy with long brown locks whose wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with blue sleeve cuffs, a red neckerchief, and blue shorts along with a white sailor-like hat with a red tassel hanging down. Also, he had white knee socks and brown penny loafers to go with the outfit. She recognized him as Neji Hyuga, her cousin.

"Oh hi Neji-san." Hinata greeted as she bowed down. She didn't knew tears still escaping her face.

Neji frowned. "Hina-chan why are you crying?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's nothing." Hinata smiled softly as she wiped away her tears with the palm of her hand.

"If you say so." Neji replied, worriedly.

"I'm fine Neji there's no need to worry." Hinata reassured her cousin by putting a hand on his shoulder.

Neji smiled at Hinata before collapsing on to the ground. He was exhausted. Exhausted from all the training he recently done today. He didn't even had a chance to have a break nor time to play or eat.

"Oh poor Neji-san you must've a rough day, huh?" Hinata lowered herself as she took out a clean handkerchief where she wipe the bead of sweat on his forehead.

"I hate training." Neji muttered.

"I hate it too." Hinata agreed.

"But you know what I rather do then training?" Neji asked.

"Playing with your friends?" Hinata guessed.

"Nuh uh." Neji shook his head 'no'.

"Watching tv?" Hinata tried again.

"Wrong!" Neji screamed.

"I give up! Tell me already!" Hinata surrendered.

"I rather hang out with you than do training, watching tv, going to school, and playing with friends combine!" Neji exclaimed.

"Really!" Hinata eyes sparkled.

"Yeah you are the best Hina-chan!" Neji grinned.

"I'm so happy Neji you're here with me because when ever your around you make my heart all fuzzy!" Hinata admitted, putting a hand on her chest as red tint stained her cheeks.

An impulse flowed through Neji's body as he felt an urge to pulled Hinata towards giving her a kiss but he couldn't do that they were blood related. Wouldn't that be wrong? If it is, the burnet didn't care if it was or to that matter if someone had seen. The only thing he wanted now was Hinata in his arms hugging him. To touch. To watch. To Neji, Hinata was his everything. She wasn't only thing that made his life worth meaning.

Neji placed a hand on his cousin cheek before bending down so their faces were two inches from each other. "Hinata may I kiss you?" He asked.

Her face flushed bright red like a tomato before she managed to stutter out, "N―No...N―N-No...N―N-Neji...w-we c―c-can't." His eyebrows furrowed when he heard this.

"If we love each other so much why can't I kiss you?" Neji questioned.

"Because we should wait until we get marry that's why." Hinata explained.

"Good point Hina-chan, let's get married." Neji said, looking at his cousin with a determine face.

Hinata looked at Neji, "Now?"

Neji nodded his head.

"I'm not even―" Hinata began.

"We will get married!" Neji vowed.

"Promise?"

"Promise!" Neji repeated, holding his pinkie up.

Hinata intertwine her pinkie finger with Neji's in recognition.

From then point on they were officially married not knowing one of the council members were eavesdropping inside the bushes and happened to like this idea. He'd told the other elders about this idea hoping they would like it too. Sooner than later the council members also liked the idea so they decided to rearranged marriage for the two to sub stained the pureness of Hyuga clan after all they wouldn't won't just anyone being part of their family. And to do they will have a marriage between two cousins telling them when time is right.
