So here, as promised, the first chapter... which is actually the prologue... of The Hyuuga Pearl! It's super short, but that way, I can manage with your requests easier. Also, it's mostly about things you probably know already, but I had to add some things about Shinju since she won't be our main character this time. I hope that you all enjoy! Thank you for following the sequel!

Prologue

Weeks have passed since the eventful Chunin Examinations in Konohagakure no Sato. After the incident with Uchiha Sasuke, everyone pretty much resumed to their daily lives. Well, that is, with a few exceptions like Uzumaki Naruto who left on a training trip with the Gama Sennin Jiraiya and Shinju who was recently disowned. The latter now lived in a small apartment in the same building as the former and had a part-time job in the Yamanaka flower shop and another in a music store around the corner.

Both the Haruno and the Yamanaka girls went under the tutelage of the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade. Kita, Emiko and Shinji were adjusting to their new teams, but still saw each other from time to time. Missions have been coming along in large number so all of the ninja, even the recently graduated Genin were working hard.

Yet, despite those very missions, relationships bloom and memories resurface within the world of mirror shards, each reflecting a different point of view, a different memory…

So yeah... When I thought of the sequel's title, I wanted to have a name that would represent memories and different points of view like I mentioned in that last line... I thank Code Geass (Lelouch to be precise) for its guidance. I don't remember the quote per se, but he mentioned that just changing your POV a little could open yourself to new possibilities or something around those lines. When he said it, we kind of saw a crystal reflecting his memories with his classmates and sister. I also thank all anime that I watched which had a scene of a dark world with countless mirror shards since that was the picture I had in mind when I wrote the sequel's name.

Now, for the seuquel itself, I may need your help from time to time, mostly on which couple should I start with and so on. Now, we have several couples in the line and I'll be putting them in order of priority.

1. Kakashi/Kasumi

2. Kita/Sasuke

3. Shuhei/Arisu

/Sai (maybe slight Ino/Kiba if you want it)

There are also polls for pairings for Emiko and Shinji and I also want to make sure if you guys want Sakura to have a partner or not. If so, either suggest a person or vote between Shino (1) Lee (2). As you can see the number of votes are way too close for me to come to a conclusion on that. Those are probably the only pairings for this part since we'll be doing a good number of flashbacks and I'm thinking of revealing some things in this sequel as well. I'm expecting this to be as long as The Hyuuga Pearl, but I can't say for sure since it's so far away.

That's it for now, so please give out suggestions on how I should proceed, especially with Ino/Sai since I'm neutral to that pairing.

Toodles!
