My name is Hinata Hyuga and I have the most unusual abilities. I have been given the ability to control water, fire, earth, air, light, and darkness.
People aren't allowed to know about this, especially the ones with evil intentions. They're known to use others to reach a goal. I'm not so sure what that goal is, and I and don't really want to find out. My father doesn't want me near those kinds of people so he assigned me a guardian. He can't leave my side no matter what. His name is Sasuke Uchiha.
We Hyugas hold the power of light while Uchihas wield the power of darkness. As you can see, our clans are opposites, but we get along with most of the time. Sasuke makes me cry pretty easily… I think it's for his amusement.
Even in school, we have ALL of the same classes together. The only time we separate is if one of us goes into the bathroom or the locker room at school.
It sucks being me because I can't even tell my friends about my true self. I can't even hang out with my friends because apparently it's too dangerous for me to be out in the world without being watched closely. It's rare for me to fight but it hasn't been lately. Just in case I were to be attacked, my family has been training me mercilessly, especially my cousin.
My cousin, Neji Hyuga, is a prodigy. His light magic is unbelievably strong. There's no one in my clan that can beat him… besides my father, Hiashi Hyuga.
The evil people are called the tainted ones. The good people (with one elemental ability) are called the pure ones. I am called the gifted one. People like me appear once every five-hundred years. The last one was male and evil. I heard that he caused a lot of problems. He was executed on his 50th birthday. It was the Inuzuka clan that executed him. Their clan still holds a grudge against the gifted ones, although, Kiba Inuzuka doesn't seem to hate me at all. Sasuke is on super guard whenever Kiba comes near though.
Right now, my guardian is preparing to walk with me to school. He had a snarl on his face as he buttoned up his shirt. Uniform irritates him because he feels that there is no need for it but he looks good in it.
Sasuke has the most beautiful face I have ever seen. When I first met him, I was captivated by his beauty… but now I'm over it.
Sasuke has onyx eyes, his cheek bone structure makes him look elegant, and that pale skin brought out the colors of his dark eyes and hair. He has long eyelashes and perfectly thin eyebrows. There wasn't a hair out of place. And those lips of his make all of the girls go wild. Sometimes I get into the habit of watching them whenever he talks or eats. Sasuke gets mad and smacks me when he catches me staring.
Yes, Sasuke is beautiful, but I have my eyes set on Naruto Uzumaki. His personality is amazing and when I see his face I get all flustered. His determination is very strong which makes me like him even more. I've never spoken to him though… All I can do is watch him from afar.
Sasuke and I had to skip breakfast this morning since we were almost late for school. For some odd reason my alarm didn't go off. The Uchiha woke up about twenty minutes after it was supposed to ring.
The both of us made it onto school grounds just before the bell rang and the front door opened up. I sighed with relief as Sasuke tugged me inside the large building. That was when we were ambushed by Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
"Stop right there!" Sakura commanded.
Sakura is supposedly the prettiest girl in school. All of the male student body, besides Sasuke, goes crazy over her. I don't see why. She's a major bitch. She has long pink hair and her red ribbon keeps her hair from falling in front of her face. Sakura's green eyes hypnotize the boys, including Naruto, and they do whatever she says. Sakura is the captain of the Sasuke fan club and also the captain of the cheerleading squad. To add to the list of her absolute "attractiveness", she is also super skinny.
"Yeah. Spend some time with your lovers, Sasuke." Ino agreed.
Ino Yamanaka is the heir to own the flower shop her father runs. She is also known as the second most beautiful girl in the school. Her long blonde hair travels below her waist and she wears it in a ponytail all of the time with shorter hair covering the right side of her face. A red barrette holds even shorter hair on the left side of her head so it won't irritate her. Ino is the vice-captain of the Sasuke fan club and the cheerleading squad. She is also super skinny but Sakura is skinnier. Everyone knows she copies whatever Sakura does.
"Ugh. Go away." Sasuke groaned.
It was every day that he was stopped by these two.
"Just come play with us Sasuke." Sakura flirted.
My "sexy" guardian rolled his dark eyes. He grabbed my hand and forced his way through the skinny girls. I just hope that they don't think Sasuke and I are a couple or they'd kill me.
The classroom was practically empty today and we even had a math test. Our sensei didn't look very happy about the little population. The irritation showed on her round face.
"Hm… I wonder if Kurenai sensei will give us the test anyway." I said to myself.
Kurenai Yuhi is our math teacher. She pretty and our English teacher, Asuma Sarutobi, seems to have his eyes on her.
Her hair is long, black, and wavy. It come down to her waist. I'd say that her red eyes were abnormal but I have white eyes.
"Alright everybody." Kurenai announced. "Sit down and pay attention. Since hardly anyone is here today, I won't give out the test, so use this period to study for tomorrow."
I sighed in relief again. "Thank goodness. I didn't study at all last night."
"Idiot." Sasuke said.
"You didn't study either!"
"Don't have to." He tapped his head and gave me a smug expression. "Darkness allows me to memorize everything I learn. You should practice that. You'd be surprised at how much it could help you."
"Well you don't have to be so mean about it though. We girls are sensitive."
"Yeah. I know."
Yes of course he'd know that. I can't even count the number of girls who cried when Sasuke broke their hearts and through all of those times, Sasuke was completely emotionless. From time to time he gives me that look. Other times he looks at me like I'm stupid. Sasuke narrows his eyes, he frowns, and his eyebrows straighten. In fact, he's looking at me like that right now because I didn't answer a question correctly on the homework we were supposed to do last night.
"Idiot." He told me.
I laughed nervously.
My guardian smirked, but it faded quickly when his eyes were entirely engulfed by darkness. His head turned towards the window and the darkness faded away.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You're being stalked. It's a tall man. He can control fire and seems to be very angry about something that you did."
"He might be the same man that attacked me last week. I could've sworn I killed him."
"Well now you know that you thought wrong."
All I could do was pout at that rude comment, but I also worried about the tainted one's abilities. Once you knock a wielder of fire down, they get back up ready to burn whoever is in their way. I just hope Sasuke and I won't get injured too badly, or at all.
I felt someone staring at me from the direction of the window. It was the tainted one looking up from behind a tree from across the street. He wore all black with his hands tucked into the pockets of his black leather trench coat. His black hair is shoulder length and it covered his eyes. He's definitely a shady person. Sasuke will be cautious.
"Okay." Kurenai announced. "The period is over in five minutes so wrap it up everyone."
"Finally." My guardian said. "Let's leave early today, okay?"
"N-No way! Leaving will make no difference to the wielder of fire."
"You'd be surprised."
The bell rang for our next class to begin. Sasuke raised his left eyebrow (that means he's asking the same question again). To avoid that look, I walked out of the room with him following close behind me. Good thing he can't leave without me with him.
"Stubborn." He mumbled.
My guardian walked me all of the way to the gym for girls just to be on the safe side. He didn't plan on taking risks.
"We have to part here. We have gym."
"Fine, but if I hear any screams I'll come running to find you. Now is not the time to be calm with a tainted one outside."
"Yes, yes. I know." I groaned.
My guardian pat me on the head and strolled off to the boys' locker room.
When I turned around, I bumped into a tall man.
"S-Sorry." I said.
"Go change." He said in a strong voice.
He wore a worn out sweat outfit with many stains and some holes. He also had on a cap that also had holes.
"Right."
The substitute I suppose? He's kind of scary with all of those wrinkles.
I immediately went into the locker room. All of the girls were complaining about the substitute's attitude. To me, he seems hasty. I suppose that I should be suspicious about him since we never had a male gym teacher but it doesn't appear to be something that I should worry about. His personality is normal for an old man.
After all of the girls changed their clothing, we all went into the gym for our attendance to be taken. All of us lined up in a single file line. The teacher walked by us one at a time checking off our names… I noticed that he never asked for any of our names and I know for certain that none of us had him as a substitute before.
"Alright ladies." He announced. "Form two teams of ten. You're going to play dodge ball."
While everyone else cheered, I groaned. No matter what strategy I did, I ALWAYS end up the last one standing and most of the time the majority of the opponent's team is still there.
The creepy teacher blew his whistle, signaling us to begin.
Instantly, each of our teams rushed towards the five balls in the middle of the gym. At first, my side dominated by taking out six members, but it soon turned around since the four remaining members now had all five balls.
Without mercy, they all launched all five balls at us. Luckily, I caught a ball and blocked off any other balls that came towards me, but the rest of my team was unfortunate. It was idiotic for none of them to move from their spots. One ball alone took out three girls. The other six either got hit or tried to catch the dodge balls. That left me standing on the floor… alone. That went too fast.
My opponents now had three girls left since I knocked out one by catching a ball. Two dodge balls were on my side and my opponents each had one in their hands.
One by one, the girls threw balls at me and I easily dodged them. By mistake, I tossed the ball straight up into the air and it dropped down on one of the girls' head. I apologized to her before she left the court.
As one of the two remaining girls prepared to throw a dodge ball at me, I rushed for a ball lying on the court and threw it at the girl with the ball in her hands. It bounced off of her hip and hit her nearby comrade on the leg. In other words, I won the first round of dodge ball for my team.
My team giggled and cheered. They all rushed back onto the court for the next round that I obviously wasn't looking forward to.
The teacher blew his whistle, telling us to stop what we were doing.
His voice suddenly sounded like he was angry. "Let's play a new game." He said staring directly at me. That's when I saw who he really was in that disguise.
His eyes turned into the color that symbolized his element; red for fire. The outside of his body got engulfed by flames and when it died out, his face and body showed. The wielder of fire appeared before me with full intent to cause me harm.
The man who attacked me last week introduced himself. His voice still had much anger in it. "I am Wrath. You…" Wrath pointed to me with his long finger. "You almost killed me. Now it's time for me to put you through hell and then take you back with me to my master."
Before anyone could speak, nevertheless breathe, Wrath expressed his rage by sending waves of fire all over the gymnasium, hitting everyone and everything in the room. I protected myself with water shielding me from all sides. After that attack, my cool water was steaming.
I sent darts of sharp water at Wrath. It affected him at first, but he adapted to the pattern that I had no control of and made each dart evaporate with his intense heat. Water is useless in this situation, so I assumed that I should suffocate the flames with earth.
The flooring beneath Wrath is completely burned and destroyed. It's perfect for earth, but I have to blow the ashes away.
My white eyes locked onto Wrath's red ones. As soon as the wielder of fire lifted his hands, I moved and blew air at him. It caught the tainted one off guard, making him stumble backwards. The ashes moved and so did the hair covering Wrath's face. He has burn marks on both sides of his face. They looked pretty old and the sight made me gag. They were unlike any other burn I've seen before. He must've been burned by another person who had fire as their element.
Wrath's face scrunched up, symbolizing that he became angrier. Now is my chance to take Wrath out once and for all.
I placed my feet about twelve inches apart and I bent my knee slightly. My hands were out in front of me as if I was holding a box. As my hands and arms went up, the earth did too underneath Wrath's feet. It came up like a coffin and it enclosed Wrath inside.
Assuming that the battle was over, I sighed and left my guard down. All of the nineteen girls in the gym are still unconscious. It was a relief to me when I saw that they were still alive.
From behind me, I smelled something burning. Turning around as quick as I could, I saw the hard earth melting. Out came Wrath grabbing me by the neck and slamming me against the wall. His large hand got hotter and hotter. The hate in his red eyes also got deeper and deeper.
"St-Stop… Ugh… S-Sasuke… Ahh!"
Suddenly, Wrath went crashing down to the floor. Sasuke stood in front of me with his guard up at all sides.
"Stand up and fight a man." Sasuke said. I can tell just by hearing him that he wasn't going to let him hurt me anymore.
"Tsk." Wrath said. He burned through the floor to escape. We all know that Sasuke is way out of Wrath's league.
"Sa… Sa… Sa…" My throat was so dry.
"Shut up and heal yourself while I erase the memories of all of the girls who saw this happen."
All I could do was nod my head as I healed my throat with water.
Sasuke erased each girl's memory with darkness and replaced the missing pieces with false memories.
"I mean it this time Hinata. Let's go home."
"N-No…"
"'No' isn't an answer. We'll change our clothes and go home. You don't have a choice."
Sasuke's voice was serious. If I refused to go with him, then he'd dress me himself and carry me home. He sure did last time.
"Fine." I agreed.
My guardian smirked and went back to the boys' locker room.
Very soon we entered the lobby of the school together. The security is heavy here so I'm not sure as to how we'd get out. Judging by the glistening in Sasuke's onyx eyes, he has a plan.
"What're you thinking about?" I asked.
He smiled mischievously and answered. "Use fire to burn off our DNA on our finger tips to pull the fire alarm. I'll shroud us in darkness so that no one will see us. I won't show our identities until we get through the doors of the manor."
"… How are you capable of devising these plans so fast? It's kind of scary."
"Just do it."
Without another word, Sasuke's plan was set into fruition. It worked, obviously, and all of the kids and teachers exited the building along with Sasuke and me.
Everyone stood outside waiting while my guardian and I made our exit.
As soon as we got through the front door and revealed ourselves, my father stood before us with even more rage than Wrath. We're in trouble.
To be continued…
