A Soundless Place
Disclaimer: I dun own this if I did well it'd be more a horror then what it is now…
Like a bad dream to all Hyuuga, the thought that the evil would get in…would awaken to take back it's beautiful yet deadly gift of sight. Perhaps the last of the Uchiha should fear it as well, descended from it, albeit distantly they are the same.
Perhaps Itachi knew that they would come for him and let himself be taken by it, to know pleasure that crosses into pain unknown to man or perhaps, he joined it in order to survive.
"Father." A voice so sweet and gentle broke trough the Hyuuga leaders' thoughts. His lifeless white eyes lifted and fixed upon his weak, beautiful daughter. Her white eyes gazed at him for a moment before slipping to the figure of her betrothed, her elder cousin, Neji. It was obvious she wanted his counsel alone and with her eyes she bade Neji to leave.
"Neji, leave us."
Without hesitation the young man left the room, only stopping enough to stare at his future bride with longing etched in his white eyes before the emotion vanished along with his form behind the now shut screen door.
"What is it Hinata?"
"Father, I know that you have told me to give it time, that I would warm up to the idea of it, of being leader…" She seemed to search her mind for things to say, her fingers poking together like how they had when she was a young girl, her face turned pink from her father's scrutinizing gaze before finding her words again. "B-but I think that Neji would be more appropriate."
"We have discussed this, you know your place as does Neji. He will be your protector, he will breed with you to create an heir." His voice was low and almost whispered. "That is the ONLY reason which he was chosen to marry you and yes I agree that HE would make a better clan head then you for he is a prodigy…"
Hinata smiled, perhaps it would go her way, perhaps Neji would get what he deserved, the removal of his seal, the respect that was always meant to be his. The seal she would gladly take for him, that was how much she cherished him.
"Father thank you I-" She was sorely mistaken by her father words nonetheless.
"However he is of the BRANCH house and shall remain as such." He father's cold lifeless eyes stared into her equally white ones and solemnly he said without batting a lash: "Know your place daughter for if I suspect that you would give leadership to him after marriage I will choose another suitor…perhaps the Uchiha." With that he walked out of the room leaving a broken hearted and fearful Hinata behind.
Alone, Neji sat, alone waiting for his beloved future bride. A smile graced his usually harsh, handsome features. After almost killing her in the chuunin exams and after witnessing her quiet strength he had begun to pity her, realizing she was just as trapped as he.
When he began to dream of her and hearing his fathers voice biding that he protect her, he began to trust in her kind eyes.
When she was in the garden of the compound, when she turned her loving white eyes to him and handed him a precious dandelion and smiled, he knew he had found love.
For the longest time he felt ashamed of his feelings. Hinata would not be given to him even if he were to ask her father for her hand, in all reality he thought that she would be given to another noble family like the last Uchiha, Sasuke, or to the KazeKage himself, Gaara but, when he and the rest of the Hyuuga family was summoned and when it was announced that HE would marry Hinata to create an Heir he was elated.
He thought for the longest time that Hinata would not love him, again a mistake. That night she came to him apologizing that he would be stuck with someone like her for the rest of his life. Her tears and anguish because she thought he still hated her were erased in one sweet loving kiss.
Sera: Should I go on? Tell me what you think? Oh and the evil? Well now let's just say that there will be one HELL of a reunion…the is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE so take it as you want. There may be spoilers there may not be…lets see how it goes. Oh and this will actually involve just about everyone, no one will be left out and people might just die…
Neji: Sadist…
Sera: Seriously it's going to be fun…
Hinata: Comment please!
