Wounds Band-aids Don't Heal

Chapter 1 : Everyday Seems The Same

Hinata slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She yawned and stretched her arms and back. The morning sunlight was peeking behind her curtains.She glanced up at her alarm clock and it read 6:45. "Oh no not again, I'm late!" She jumped out of bed and ran around her room to find her clothes and training gear. She jumped into the shower, then got dressed really fast. She gave herself the once over in the mirror before running to the dinning room. On the way she saw Neji. He only glared at her. It sent chills down her spine everytime. It made her sad to know how much he hated her. In front of her father he was nice to her but when they had to be alone, he changed back to his hateful self. She almost crashed into the door frame, Neji set her off into her own little world again. She managed to regain her her footing right before she was in the presents of her family. She blushed and looked down to the floor hands folded shyly.

Hinata: Sorry father for being late. I promise to be more punctual in the future.

He looked up at her and gave a stone cold stare that could out do Neji's this morning. He stood up from his seat and sighed

Hiashi: This is the 5 th time you have been late for breakfast. Your breakfast is served to you at 7:00 sharp Hinata. It has been for the last 14 years of your life! Why is it now that you are suddenly late? Maybe you just need more attention.

He looked up at the guard by the door

Hiashi: Go find Neji, I wish to speak with him.

The guard nodded and went to go find him. Hinata still stood with her feet glued to the ground aswell as her stare.

Hiashi: Take your seat Hinata. There's no point in you standing there to be in everyone's way.

She only nodded and took her seat right across from her little sister Hanabi. Who her father like alot more than her. Her father was training her himself. He had once done so with her, but gave up on her because to him she was useless. He even said to everyone that she is no use to the

clan. But she was born first so that meant she was supposed to gain the title if her father died. But it didn't look to good for her. There had been times in her clan where people from the main house hold were forced to be demoted into the branch family and become a slave. The worst part was they were branded like the rest of them. She looked at her omelet and just poked at it. She had no appetite this morning she just wanted to leave and find her friends to train with. Just then Neji walked in. He bowed down as a sign of respect.

Neji : You wished to see me Lord Hiashi?

Hiashi: Yes I did. Did you know that Hinata has been late for breakfast 5 times?

Neji: I was aware today Lord Hiashi, as for the other times I was not.

Hiashi: Neji since the day you were born your only duty was to protect Lady Hinata. If she is late that means your not doing your job of caring for her! She must be on time! If she is late one more time both of you will be severely punished for your actions! Do I make myself clear??!!

Hinata:Yes Father

Neji: Yes Lord Hiashi. I will make sure she is always on time from now on. Sorry for the incompetence, It will not happen again, I assure you.

Hiashi: I give you permission to do what ever it takes to get her to places on time no judgment or questions will be asked.

Neji : Yes Lord Hiashi

Neji turned and left the room. She glanced up at her father who seemed to have a smirk on his face. She felt like crying at the moment. Had her father just give Neji permission to do what he pleased with her? Her sister kicked her shoe into her leg from underneath the table. Still shocked at what just happened she looked at her sister who was giving her a wicked smile. She gulped air then looked away. Her sister sometimes hated her as much as her dad. But Hinata never blamed her, she grew up with that. You learn what you see and act how others act. She stood up and looked at the table and turned to walk away. Her father stood up angrily.

Hiashi: Did I say you can leave? Where do you think your going?

Hinata just stood there looking up at him with fear. She was frozen. Her father had never had any patients for her at all, ever. In a second he was right in front of her with his hand raised. She tried to duck but was to late and received a back hand so hard she fell to the ground. She didn't make a sound nor did she move.Hiashi stood over her angrily and kicked her in the ribs. She didn't cry out but just squeaked quietly. She rolled away from him and didn't bother to look up as he was going to leave the room.

Hiashi: You have no place in this branch of the family, your too weak and not able to help your self or others. We will see if your ready to fend for yourself soon. If not may Buddha have mercy on your soul. With that he left the room. Hinata got up slowly. her eyes glued to the floor not able to look up at all.

Hanabi: Hinata you should really be careful you know how much Neji hates you. He is now looking for any reason to get back at you because of what father said. Even now I bet he's plotting some way to get you!

Hinata looked over at her sister and then back at the floor. She sighed still short of breath.

Hinata: Thank you for your concern Hanabi. Have a good day. Please do well with your training.

Sometimes her sister did care about her and sometimes she didn't. This is one of those times she did. She always tried to out shine Hinata in front of anyone. And it worked with Hinata's quiet and shy behavior she never argued or stuck up for herself. This always angered her father.

Everything about her angered her father. She gave Hanabi a weak smile and left the room. She rubbed her face where the hand print was still visible. She looked at the ground when walking by a group of people who were from the side branch family but all jounin and superiors, including

Neji. They all stopped talking and looked at her when she walked by them. It made her nervous and she tried to walk faster but limped a bit because of the kick to the ribs. she just wanted out of the house so bad. She went to her room to go get her training gear. It may only be 7:30 in the morning but Kiba would be awake. She would go hang around with him until Kurenai sensei would want to meet with them. His family was nice to be around even though his mom was just as hyper as Kiba. She smiled to herself and remembered the day she first met his mom and some of his cousins. She was so terrified she couldn't even talk for 20 minutes. She stood there shaking. Kiba thought she was going to pass out at one point. Well the family still teases her about that. The Inuzuka clan is known for it's wild and animal like ways. But they were still caring people. She gathered up her things and left her room. She peeked down the hall to make sure she wouldn't run into anyone on her way out. Once all was clear she jogged to the main door. She reached for the handle and it opened by it self she gasped only to come face to face with Neji. She bumped into him by accident. He pushed her back with a shove that made her land on her butt.

Neji: Watch where your going loser!

Hinata: I-I-I'm-m-m I'm-m s-s-sorry...

Neji: Shut up Hinata! You are so useless and stupid. Your not even worth listening too! Listen to your self you sound like a broken record the way you talk. If you can't speak normally do everyone a favor and don't speak at all!

She stood up and kept her eyes to the ground.

Hinata:Y-yes Neji

Neji: Your so hopeless get out of my way!

He shoved her but she managed to keep her balance this time.

Neji:Supper is ready at 6:00 sharp if you are not there on time your fate will belong to me got it?!

She nodded and turned to look at him. He grabbed her arm which caught her totally by surprise. She cried out and raised her arm to protect herself from what ever was going to happen, but he was faster and caught that arm too. She tried to pull away but couldn't, she was too scared to do anything but cry. His face was 2 inches from hers. He growled. A tear escaped her eye and rolled down her cheek.

Neji: If I get punished because your not on time I will beat you so bad you'll end up needing the emergency ward! I can do anything to you no questions asked! Do you know what that means? Your life is now in my hands Hinata. You'll do as I say from now on. You don't want to know what will happen if you don't. This is your only warning.

She only nodded. He let her go and turned away going down the hall. Her eyes followed him as he went to go meet two other family members to go train. Even though they had seen the whole thing they didn't interfere. All three went off like nothing just happened at all. She put on her shoes

slowly and walked out the door. As she was going down the stairs she looked up to see her father coming towards her. Why? Today was not her day at all it seemed. She stopped and lowered her head as a sign of respect. Her father was walking and talking to two of his personal advisor's. Her father ignored her totally. As if she was invisible. It hurt but it was better that way. One of the advisor's stopped and smiled

Gage:Well good morning Lady Hinata! I see your on your way train.

She smiled shyly and nodded.

Gage: Good for you! The early bird aways catches the worm I always say. We'll see you at supper tonight you do your best out there and train hard okay?

She smiled and nodded. He was so nice to her always. She was glad he would join them for supper then there wouldn't be so much silence. She ran to the gate but smiled and waved at him before leaving the compound. On to Kiba's house. It was a bit far but she enjoyed the walk. The village was still quiet. Mostly ninja were up and ready to go at this time. She wished this morning never happened at all. Why does her family have to be so different? She looked up at the clear blue sky. Maybe if she tried harder to please her family they would be nicer to her. She smiled she was going to try harder. Even though she said this to herself everytime she had a bad day she still believed she could try harder to make them like her more. It never really worked out that way. But sometimes hope is all you have to keep you going.
