Hey! I have this fabulous (okay, I think it's fabulous) idea for a fic. Yes, it's another high school AU, but this one's... different. It's darker. Also, it's written in poetry. :3 Basically, Temari and her siblings are thrown in the same foster home as Hinata and her abusive cousin, Neji, after their abusive father's death. Temari gets close to and shares secrets with Hinata as they both fall in love and start intense relationships. NaruHina, but mainly ShikaTema.
Note: I love Neji, Kankuro, and Gaara. I've written them as horrible people for the sake of the story. Also, I'm basing these characters kind of off people I know in real life. Yeah, that's dumb. It's not too OOC, I hope. Anyway, what I mean is, I don't intend to hate.
Hinata, 11 years:
I don't remember
much about that
night, but that
is purposeful
entirely.
I know where I was
but I do not remember
I remember tears
pressure
pain
and screaming,
We're cousins!
How could you?
You're disgusting.
That's not natural.
and wondering why
it hurt down there
and I was bleeding
between my legs.
Temari, 13 years:
My brother's behavioral
disorder had gotten the better of him
and I was on the floor beneath
and he beat and hurt me
and Dad came in the room,
Son, what's your problem?
When you do it like that,
people will see the bruises.
You can't let people suspect.
No, Son, don't.
Don't hurt her.
She's your sister!
I knew when Gaara was done,
Daddy would take his turn at me
teaching me things I don't want to know.
No one in this family knows the difference between a good touch and a bad one.
