Ray of Light
Chapter 1;
Brand New Days from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
"Sunlight, I awaken from a dream; the light of the morning
Shines again (all over my sight)
On this world
Carrying this interrupted promise all alone
This yesterday behind my eyes (it's over my blind)
Is all that I chased
Stay high - I had forgotten
This clear blue sky
Surely, you gave me
This true-feeling brilliance
Even if someday the strength with which you're holding my hand becomes painful
I definitely won't let go
Dear friends
Like this forever"
"Hinata-sama, your father wishes to speak to you in his study." My cousin, Neji nii-san stated in his deep voice even though he was just 13 years old. I got up from my silk, Sakura Futon and walked towards him. "Do you know what he wants, Neji nii-san?" He opened my door a bit wider letting in the scent of Miso soup. "No Hinata-sama. He just asked me to bring you in his study."
"Ah, O-Okay...thank you Nii-san." I gave him a worried smile. What could my father want from me? I asked to myself. As I walked to my fathers study I looked out of our open hallway. (A/N like a traditonal Japanese house, most of the hallways do not have walls so then you can look out into the garden) The maids hurriedly went to do their duties as the floors made that, tap tap tap noise. When they passed by me they would bow slowly and say, "Good Morning Hinata-sama" and then they would run off.
My heart made a nervous thump thump thump sound in my chest. I can just tell something huge will happen when I enter my father's study. I opened the sliding door slightly, about an inch or two.
"O-Otou-sama..." I stammered behind the sliding door.
"Enter, Hinata." he said tiredly.
I opened the sliding door and then closed it behind me. I sat in front of my father's coffee table in my usual seiza style. Only silence bathed in the stiff air. My father cleared his throat.
"In two days many of the Branch Family and myself was ordered an A Rank Mission by the Hokage. It will take 3 months to complete. During the 2 days before I am long gone you will have to find someone who is willing to let you stay over within the 3 month period."
"E-Eh? But, can't I stay home with-"
"No," he interrupted me. He sighed.
"Hanabi and Neji's team will be gone on a 1 to 2 month mission with their teams. Also, I will not allow you to stay alone with the maids and the other Hyuuga's. Since they are the Branch you may never know what they can do to you." he replied back coldly. I slightly nodded but, I did understand.
"You may go now. I have things to do."
I got up and walked toward the sliding door. I held the door frame. "Please don't stress yourself Otou-sama, you'll get older that way." I chuckled a bit and closed the door. I gave out a very big sigh.
Now...who will I ask first? I headed to my bedroom.
I changed my clothes into my casual clothes. A long white sleeved shirt, with tan shorts. My hair was still short, I liked it that way. I could feel the breeze under my neck as it went past by me. It made me feel 'alive'. I guess I say some weird things. Ahaha. As I finished getting dress I went toward my desk to look for my pencil and notepad. As I rummaged through my desk I found some things that I didn't even remember having. It was nostalgic to see my mother's belongings in here. I smiled but then remembered to look for my notepad. I grabbed my Usagi notepad and walked out of my room in a hurry. I went toward the front door and put on my sandals, then I headed out our front gates.
I have to admit that it was very cold in early November...I should've brought my Jacket. As I walked with clearly, no destination I'm going I began to think first. Hrm...I shouldn't have ask Kiba-kun..he has a large family I don't want to bother him...Kurenai sensei and Shino-kun are going on a 1 month mission with Team 6 tomorrow so that's a no...Sakura-san? Never mind her. I remember that time I visited her for her mother's herbs. Their house only has 2 rooms and Sakura-san's room is awfully small. I wouldn't want to bother her either. So that just leads up to, Uchiha Sasuke and N-Naruto-kun...aah! What am I thinking! I can't be near Naruto-kun! I always blush and faint around him! I-I can't do that when I'll be around him! So it all goes to Uchiha-san...
I gave out a loud sigh. I guess It was so loud that some people around me stared at me weirdly and walked away. I blushed. Gaaah! How embarrassing! I mentally slapped myself.
I doubt Uchiha-san would let me stay over a 3 month period.
"Oi, are you Hyuuga Hinata? The Hyuuga Heiress?" a man suddenly came up to me and asked.
"Y-Yes..." I stammered out.
"The Sandaime (Third Hokage) needs to speak with you." He suddenly said. My eyes were in shock.
"Ah, yes, I'll go there right now...thank you." I bowed and jogged my way towards the Sandaime's headquarters. I knocked on the door quietly. "Come in Hyuuga." I walked in and closed the door behind me. "Good Morning Sandaime!" I bowed.
"What a polite young lady." He smiled.
"I have heard of your situation."
"M-My Situation?" I asked timidly.
"Yes, child. You're looking for someone to stay with for 3 months and I correct?" He asked seriously. I nodded as my reply.
"I have decided for you. You are staying with Uchiha Sasuke."
"EH?"
"That boy has been in the dark for too long and hardly takes care of himself. So I have decided for you to stay with him for the 3 months that your father will be gone for. Since you are..." 'in the dark for too long'? What does he mean by that? Wait...could he mean-
"a great motherly figure and you are also the Heiress. Consider this a B-Rank mission Hyuuga." I bowed. "Y-Yes! I won't let him go down any farther than he is now Sandaime-sama!" I bowed. I tilted my head up and see the Sandaime smile a bit and went back to his normal, old expression. "That's good to hear Hyuuga. Here's his address," He personally handed me the paper of where Uchiha-san lived. "he doesn't live in the Uchiha compound anymore. Make sure you recycle the paper." I nodded and we said our goodbyes. As I walked out of the Hokage's headquarters it was awfully cold! I sneezed. "I need to get home before I get sick..." I sniffed and walked through the large crowed. Suddenly, the crowd grew larger!
I quickly began to move away from the crowd but then I suddenly tripped. Making weird noises again.
"Kya!" But, something stopped me from falling. It smelled refreshing and felt very warm. I looked up, only seeing Uchiha Sasuke wrapped in is scarf tightly. My face flushed crimson.
Next time on Ray of Light:
