Prologue

Sometimes…the ending is the beginning…in her case this was true. Hyuuga Hinata, age 22, ninja status: Jounin, was dead.

She was beautiful, gentle and kind. Her only wish was for a peaceful death, one to be celebrated, not mourned so it wouldn't add to her village's troubles. This was what her whole life was about; someone else.

She trained so her father would be proud. She fought to save other's lives. She cried over other's misfortunes. She loved for her friend's sake. She died to bring someone home.

She died for him.

No one could remember why, because no one understood her. She was foreign territory, and even the one closest to her had trouble understanding her. Everyone thought that they knew her, but in reality no one knew the real Hinata Hyuuga. She was too plain, too common, like a tree hidden among a forest. Too often was she overlooked, and now they have no more chances to delve deeper.

Because she has finally found peace.

She knew that this day would come. She never even dreamed of living until old age, something that many people take for granted. She knew how short her life would be, and she tried to make the best of it.

Sometimes our best qualities are also our downfall.

Love.

Happiness.

Hope.

She excelled in these qualities, but ultimately, they brought about her end. She loved everyone so much, everyone was like a brother or a sister to her. For their sake, she would smile and laugh. For their sake, she would be happy and run about. For their sake..she died.

She was an eternal optimist. But everyone knows that optimists are the most miserable of all people. They always had a good opinion of everything, because that is the world and dream that they know other's yearn for. That is why they're happy and smiling, because they want to pretend that everything is all right. Even when it is so clearly not. They know that, but everyone depends on optimists to lift the mood, when all they do is sink deeper into depression themselves.

Hope. She saw hope in everything. Sometimes, that was a good thing. Sometimes, a bad thing. She saw hope in the kitsune boy, that he would become great and powerful. She saw hope in the young Uchiha, that one day, he would learn how to feel and love. She saw hope in every situation, even in the dark days when he left. Even when there was no more hope left to see.

She loved him like a brother. She pretended to be happy afterward, always hoping that he would turn around and come back to the village. But alas, she knew that all her love, happiness, and hope was in vain. He wasn't coming back.

At least not in her lifetime.

Her life was desperately short. Only 22 years old, and she didn't exist anymore. The Heavens had opened up their gates to welcome their long-lost angel. The earth wasn't ready for such a person yet, and they never would be.

But she knew something else during her last days.

She knew that she would be mourned, remembered, and then…forgotten. Just like everyone else. She didn't mind, after all, everyone had to be forgotten at some point. That was the way of the world, to live, die and be forgotten.

But she did everything in her power to prevent the first one.

An eternal optimist, she was grieving every day of her life. She knew what Hell was like already, and she didn't want anyone else to suffer like she did. She wanted no tears shed over her dead body because it had been inevitable.

Everyone dies at some point. She just died sooner than everyone else did.

But with her death, she wished to bring hope to her village. Hope that he would come back, even for just a little bit to see her one last time.

This was the last wish if Hyuuga Hinata, age 22, ninja status: Jounin.

Sometimes…the ending is the beginning…
