Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto characters. This is just a story I made up using the characters and some storyline from the main show Naruto. Repeat, I do not own any of this. I did not write any of this money or some form of reward. I am just another crazy writer looking to express herself.
Characters of Chapter One:
Neji - age 23
Hinata - age 22
Hanabi - age 17
Hiashi - ancient XD
Within confined doors down in the main training hall there came the scampering of feet, pacing back and forth roughly, loud enough to wake most of the other Hyugas' within the mansion. Soon the loud scampering was reduced to shuffling, then a massive, heavy thud in the silence of the rainy night. Over head, the vibrant white orb, known as the moon, frowned upon the Hyuga Mansion as did the heavens for they wept heavily down over all of Konoha to announce very, very terrible news that would no doubt spread once morning had come in the next several hours. Reaching the paper thin sliding doors of the training room was none other then the current successor of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga. His face twisted in a look of disgust upon what his faint eyes had to stare upon. The body of his his youngest daughter Hanabi laid mangled like a lifeless doll. Not very far behind came the drenched Neji. His hair usually well kept was a frizzled mess but he could not turn from the sight of his Hyuga Princess he had sworn to protect. Neji swallowed every ounce of his ninja reserve to walk closer to the young girl six years his junior. He had only recently learned to love the cold fronted Hyuga and now that he had she was taken from him by death itself for there were no signs of physical inflictions, there were no traces that anyone had come into the room, nor even a gen jutsu placed on the mansion. Hanabi died a painful, natural death which would remain unknown until the medical ninja had done a full scan on the body.
Hiashi washed the twenty three year old Neji approach the woman, he knew the feelings that Neji had grown towards Hanabi over the years and knew the pain and anguish his fellow Hyuga must have felt. But Hiashi saw the lad keep his composure as always. As a ninja, one must never allow their feelings to get in the way of a mission, and Neji's mission in life was to serve as a ninja so his feelings for his once beloved Hanabi had to be buried away quickly for the rest of the Hyuga clan was now approaching. Most of whom looked over the shoulders of the Hiashi to see the pale lifeless body of the heir to have been. Not wanting Hanabi's body stared at and spoken off, Neji removed his long sleeved top and placed it down over the still warm body. His heart was holding onto to its last strings as he walked away from the site to escape what happened. While walking his eyes shot a glance at the terrified Hinata who only now had woken and was running behind the others to see if what the chaos she had heard was coming true. When reaching the crowd she overheard her fellow Hyuga's whispering the news, the horrible news that Hanabi Hyuga was now dead.
The eyes of Hinata snapped open widely when news struck her ears but heart would not believe what it was told until she had seen for herself. The crowd instantly hushed when they realized Hinata was there. Hiashi had torn Hinata from the main branch family and reduced her to the lower branch but he had refused to bran his first born with the mark that gave him control of his feeble weak minded daughter. Hinata had given no protest eight years ago when her father had chosen Hanabi as his heir, she wished it that way for her heart was to gentle and kind to be brutal and forceful as her father had wished her to be. Sadly, it was only four days before Hanabi was to truly take control of the Hyuga Clan and now, now what. Suspension started to spread through the crowd, whispering soft words for the Hyuga not hear. Hiashi heard the non-sense and silenced them all with a stomp of his foot. The crowd parted somewhat, making a vertical path from Hiashi to the shivering Hinata standing the rain. A strong, smooth voice cut through the dripping and wild winds of the night. "Hinata, because Hanabi has is deceased you must now become the heir of the Hyuga Clan. As planned, it will happen on Hanabi's 18th Birthday, and on that day you are also to marry Neji."
With a wave of his hand he shooed away the rest of his clan, sending them hurdling in their rooms as if they were roaches seeking shelter from being squished. Hinata did not move though, she could not. While the others had run off she had activated her Byakugan to see under the thin linen of Neji's shirt that hid the body of her dead sister to prove that she was indeed dead and not coming back. Weak the new heiress had become as she stumbled to her knees in muddy mess that had been the outside lining that separated her from the wooden decks of the household itself. Her father said nothing more. He could not show his daughter compassion, he could not do anything. His pride and joy was dead. His heart was sunken to an abyss as Neji's was, and as Hinata's. Hinata had never wished any ill fate upon her little sister, in fact, Hinata was willing to help her sister in away to make her stronger, to make her the best. She wanted to see her little Hanabi become a great leader but now those dreams to see her sister become as wonderful as she imagined was flushed away by the tears of the heavens. Hinata remained where she was for the next several hours, far longer than after the rain had stopped, the sun came out, and the medic team had come to take her sister's body. The female was dazed, for those hours and did not snap from her make believe world till a hand came to rest on her shoulder softly. Spinning her head round, twin pairs of lavender optics turned to see eyes much like her own staring back at her. "N-N-N-Neji-kun..."
