Chapter ONE
Dark...cold...eerie... that could be the perfect description for the Uchiha Mansion...
Sasuke's been living in here all his life...but its different before... it's different when his whole clan was there, alive.
But a very tragic and gruesome thing happened... everything... Everyone he loved and cared for was taken away from him, by the one person he didn't think would do such brutal murder... man slaughter... his own flesh and blood.. His brother who he looked up to.. Itachi...
"I will kill you... Im living now for the only reason...to kill you..." Sasuke's thinking of the only person he hates the most while saying those words…
He stood up from the huge sofa that became his bed for quite some time now….he walked to look out the window…
It's a beautiful night…everything outside seems bright and cheerful; everyone seems moving so fast…Heading in one direction... Konoha Time Square...
Now he remembers… tonight is going to be a big night for everyone in Konoha village….its the annual mask festival….
This festival is said to have been formed during a time when Konoha encountered a very devastating time... A time where everyone seems to be tested by life…they said that the hokage that time made a festival to at least ease the pain and forget the problem of the whole village even for just one night... so it was formed... The Mask Festival…where everyone in Konoha village wore colorful and cheerful mask to hide their sad faces .The festival is meant to be colorful and fun. Everyone in Konoha Village gathered in one place…the Konoha Time Square… there are lots of rides, entertainment presentations, food and lots of colorful and fun stuff around the Square…
sasuke's just observing the streets of konoha from his window.. He saw kids running around, group of teens chatting with each other, family's walking together all wearing masks...
He stayed like that for 20 minutes.. Then, he saw something….or is it someone?
Hinata's walking silently alone towards Konoha Time Square... she's wearing a mask like everybody else...
"It's a good thing I'm wearing a mask... at least I don't have to explain myself "thought hinata, her tears fell under her mask... She recalled what happened earlier…
Flash back
Hinata fell on her knees "I'm sorry father, It won't happen again"
"I don't know what im going to do with you Hinata! You're a disgrace to the clan…you are not fit to be called an heiress!" scolded Hiashi after hinata failed another exercise he'd given her
"I'm sorry father…I promise I will try harder"
"I don't know what I'm going to do with you…I don't know if you're going to be better!" yelled hiashi, and walked out the training room... leaving hinata sprawled on the floor, crying…
Hanabi…came out from hiding... she heard everything and she pitied her sister. She's thinking why her sister would not defend herself.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Hinata didn't answer...
"Sister, don't mind father, I think you've became stronger, I know you're trying hard! I believe in you!"
Hinata looked up… "Thank you hanabi" she gave her sister a faint smile
Hanabi smiled back… "I know a way to cheer you up sister! tonight is Mask Festival.. we can go there and have fun"
"I don't know Hanabi"
"Please, sis... I will not take no for an answer"
"Okay, okay…"finally hinata gave in…
End of Flash Back!
"Maybe father is right… I'm not strong enough, and I will never get stronger, I'm a failure" thought hinata…but she remembered her younger sister smiling at her. The only person in her family who truly loved her and believed in her…. "I will not let you down Sister"
Suddenly... Tsug! Hinata fell flat on her back
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Yelled some guy, who seemed to be drunk,
Hinata stood up and bow her head "ohh, Im sorry… I didn't mean to bump you.. im really sorry"
"You should be sorry!" yelled the man again and started to walk away…
Hinata did not stop bowing until the man went away…she kept on saying "I'm sorry"…
What she didn't know, there's a pair of onyx colored eyes watching her…
End of Chapter One
