This is a series of Hinata- and Hyuuga-centered drabbles that were originally written for the amazing Runespoor7 over at Livejournal. Any and all traces of Hyuugacest come from her, I swear. ;) And comments, corrections and criticism are, as always, completely welcome and loved! After all, a little encouragement never fails to add a bit of inspiration...

Summary: The Hyuuga are a family with many paths to follow. Here are just a few that might eventually be taken.
Scenario 1: The one where Hinata kills something, and Neji is furious.
He had never seen her face so white, her cheeks so bloodless, for all of their famed Hyuuga haughtier. But then, Neji had never seen her so furious before either. And for all the passion that he knew Hinata kept locked deep, deep down within her, she could have passed for a bloodless statue, so still did she now stay.
"And why," she whispered, and her voice was like ice in his veins, "why, why did you assume I was so innocent anyway? I am a kunoichi and you know what we do when we have to, when we have no other recourse. I don't care if you thought I was some kind of-- of-- of innocent before, Neji-niisan. I did what I had to on that mission-- and I won't stammer and make any apologies for it either."
