A new Hyuga

The date was november 7th when a new life entered the world in the hidden leaf village. The akatsuki and the fourth ninja war is now a distant memory. The small child was of the Hyuga clan, the mother was a simple maid and servant to the Hyuga household. The kunoichi who had helped deliver the young child was Sakura Haruno. "Congratulations! It's a girl!" Sakura gave the child over to the mother and embraced it. Looking into the child's eye she saw only one byakugan. She was a bit surprised and the now elder Hiashi was the second person to see the child. "Most curious, a child with only one eye a byakugan." Her mother looked to Hiashi "shes still my special child and no matter what always will be."

Afterwards a celebration was thrown at the Hyuga household. All the clans attended and the 7th hokage gave the new child his blessing. Even Sasuke of the now thriving and healing Uchiha clan shed a tear seeing the small baby bundled in blankets. The new mother announced with glee "Now that everyone has arrived I can make my announcement." All the villagers gathered in the center of the courtyard. "I am naming this new child-" the baby became fussy and reached for something beyond her mother. The moment had almost paused as the baby had perked up from being almost silent. "What are you reaching to."

The new mother turned to see what the fussy thing was reaching to and she saw a small music group that played music in the background. A very soft tune yet the baby seemed to awake and reach for the music, as if she could see the wonderful sound coming off the instruments. The baby was smiling to it. "Hehe, a music lover hmmm? I have the perfect name. Everyone, the childs name is from this moment forth- Serene Hyuga!" Applause erupted and everyone cheered for the child. From that day onward Serenes love for music never faded. She learned her characters and numbers and words. Her first word was music. As such Natsu asked the child sleep in a room where she can always hear music. Overtime Serene grew and grew, but she always was a bit shorter than other kids.

Once she learned to walk properly Natsu decided to take her little one to the cemetery, where a large flame made of stone stood. "Mama Natsu, what is that?" Her mother sat down to Serenes level. "That is called the will of fire dear!" Serene remembered people say it's the first hokages resolve to keep the village safe. "Really?" Natsu nods, "Everyone in the village has a little bit of it and some people more than others." Serene studied the statue. "pretty!" Serene exclaims. "In our clan we have a strong will and you will too, maybe when you finish the academy many years ahead you can be a shinobi to keep us safe." Natsu then pointed to the hokages stone face on the cliff. "Just like the hokage!" Serene would treasure this day out as her first memory.

By age three she had gained some friends at the around the village. Even going to the park to study bugs with midata abu-rame. The insect weilding clans new child. Or bug her mother to see the animal hospital to see Kiba inuzuka care for sick puppies. She always liked there best because she got to feed the small puppies with food pellets. After the visits Kiba took serene out to play pranks on other villagers and pass on the art of being annoying. Serene had many friends and next year she would enter the academy in just a years time. However she was nervous and decided to ask about the academy from the clans leader, Hiashi Hyuga for some help.

Hiashi was busy designing a new Hyuga dress for an upcoming holiday when he saw his door creak open and Serene poke her head in. "U-uh…. Lord Hiashi? Can I get some help with something." Hiashi looked up from his paperwork with a hearty smile. "Why sure, have a kneel." Serene bowed and took her place in front of Hiashi. "Lord Hiashi, im getting nervous about the academy... What if im not good enough or what if my teacher is a meanie." Hiashi laughed a bit. "Not to worry Serene, you will do okay. You're a smart kid." Serene still was shaken up. Hiashi noticed this. "If you run into trouble you can always come to me or come see your auntie Hinata. She is the hokages wife so even Naruto can help you out. Remember, you have a byakugan to see through all sorts of jutsu if theres any bullies. I have a good feeling about you, and I had this same feeling for your auntie Hinata and uncle Neji."

Serene cheered right up hearing that lord Hiashi even slightly compared her to Neji Hyuga. The Hyuga clans best and brightest, at least until he passed on. Serene bowed and thanked lord Hiashi for his help. She had went to bed feeling happy and was especially happy when Natsu gave her goodnight kisses. That night she dreamt of getting her headband and having all sorts of talents. Being a medical ninja, tracking ninja, an ANBU. All was well until she was oddly awoken from her slumber by a scratching above her. When she nervously looked around she saw nothing. However looking straight above her she saw a horrifying man with a long twisty neck and sharp nails stuck to the ceiling. She had tried to scream for her mother only to find she had no voice at all. The mans neck grew longer and bit her shoulder. With out a voice all that could be hear was the creature sinking its teeth in and tears hitting the pillow. She looked up to see its hands making signs and afterwards Serene blacked out.
