Hey, it's Mori15! Ok, I love reading Naruto stories about them turning into cats, cuz I'm just weird like that! Soooooooo….I'M MAKING MY OWN!!! This story will be a SaiXHina, cuz it's such a cute pairing Hope ya like it.

Hiashi watched his eldest daughter train with her lower branch cousin. 'Disgraceful, weak, pathetic…' there were the words that filled Hiashi's mind at the sight of Hinata. Why couldn't she be more like Hinabi?

Neji knocked Hinata to the ground.

His wife had been too soft on her, treating her with the hands of a seamstress. Of course that's why he had her banished, and later killed. He wasn't heartless, oh no, just picky when it came to…breeding. He turned from the window where he had been watching and continued his walk around the complex. There had to be a way to get rid of her…

Kill her? No, too obvious.

Perhaps abandon her somewhere in the forest and leave her to die? No, if she lived than that could cause complications.

Then the answer his him like a kunai to the heart. Why had he not thought of it sooner? Truly this was genius on his part. He then calmly walked to the very depths of the complex, to visit someone who he had hoped he would never require the services again…

"Hinata, that's enough for today." Neji said, seeing her trying to catch her breath after their rigorous sparring match.

"N-Neji-san, I'm f-fine…" her stutters were breathless; she really had hoped that today she could show her cousin how much he had improved.

Neji shook his head, "You've done enough, don't strain yourself." Ever since Neji had learned about the sacrifice his father had made in order to keep the family safe, he felt a sense of protectiveness over his cousin.

Just then, Hinabi came in, her face looked slightly troubled. "Hinata, father wants to see you." She said, her gaze shifting to her sister and to her cousin. Neji could see the mental message she was trying to send him. Her eyes told all. "Something is not right"

"W-what d-does father w-want?" asked Hinata, almost scared of the answer.

"I'm not sure, but he seemed urgent about it." Hinabi said.

Hinata nodded and slipped past her sister, she did not feel Hinabi try and grasp her hand, and ran softly to her father's study.

"Hanabi, what-"Neji stopped mid sentence at the look on his younger cousins face. She looked deathly pale.

Hinabi just looked at him, as if there were something she wanted to say, but her tongue would not allow her to.

Hinata stopped outside her father's private study, and knocked gently. She heard her father call enter, and did as she was told. She was surprised to find her father kneeling on a pallet with two tea cups in front of him. He wanted her to be present while he and a guest had tea?

"Hinata, my daughter, sit and have a cup of tea with me." He gave a small nod of his head to the pallet set before him. Hinata was taken aback, but did as she was told. He handed her a small teacup, already filled with steaming tea.

He watched her intently as she held the teacup, wondering if he was upset about her training with Neji. "Father…"

"Hinata, is there something wrong, you haven't had any tea." he asked her, fore she had yet to take a drink.

"N-no, it's just…you've n-never asked me for t-tea before…" Hiashi gave Hinata a smile, but it was more of a smirk than a smile.

"So much has changed with you Hinata; I thought it best if we…catch up."

He was right, Hinata had changed. She was training harder, yes, but she had also come to realize some things. Kiba was now an uncle, Akamaru's mate having recently given birth to a healthy litter of pups. Shino was being groomed for the head of the Aburame family. And Naruto was now dating Sakura. Yes, her hearts love for so many years, was now out of her reach. Oddly enough, she was ok with it. A small part of her had always hoped that maybe one day, he would forget about Sakura, but it had not happened.

"Yes…much has changed, with everyone." Hinata whispered to her still untouched tea. Hiashi cleared his throat.

"Hinata, your tea is getting cold." He then took a sip of his own tea. Hinata failed to see his eyes watch her as she took a drink from her cup.

CRASH!

Hinata was writhing on the floor, her body in pain; her tea cup lay in pieces upon the ground. Had she been poisoned? She tried to call out to her father, surely he could see in her in such agony.

"You're pathetic Hinata, a complete disgrace to this family. I will never let you take over this family."

Hinata could feel her hearts braking, and tears of pain (both mentally and physically) fell from her lavender eyes. Then…her world went black.

Hiashi walked hurriedly to the bank of the river, a sack being held under his arm. The stars were quickly fading, and he needed to complete the task at hand quickly. He threw the sack into the river. There was a soft splash, and he watched for a moment as the sack bobbed down the river.

"Hinata, you disgrace, you stray…"

Well, hope ya liked it. I know Hiashi seemed kinda dark there, but I find him a total faggot. I know you hate me for the cliffhanger, but perhaps I can be persuaded for more if I get some reviews…Hint hint nudge nudge. SEE YA IN CHAPPY TWO!!
