Prologue
Kiba took Hinata by the wrist and led her around the crowd. He knew she was being followed. He made sure his actions seemed as harmless and normal as possible. The wild hair boy led his female friend into his house. He closed the door behind him as naturally as possible. He chanced a glance out the window. The villagers continued on with their lives like nothing was going on. The hooded boy spotted the castle men that kept glancing at his house. He scoffed internally at the bad skills the guard had.
"Kiba-san what is all of this about?" Hinata asked. She knew something was up, Kiba had never grabbed her wrist so hard before. She rubbed the wrist.
Kiba let his curtains falls to hide the inside of his house. He faced his longtime friend a guilty expression on his face. Hinata picked up on her friend emotions quickly. She took a step closer to him.
"Kiba-san?" She spoke quietly.
"What did I tell you about that honorific?" He chuckled weakly.
The wild haired boy shook his head clearing it. He steeled his resolve and began. "The village had a meeting the night before last…"
Hinata waited patiently for her friend to continue.
"…We know how much that thing," he spat," is fond of you."
Hinata faced flushed. She knew exactly whom her friend was speaking of.
"My people are suffering Hinata…the same people that took you in, the people that are now yours. Our people are suffering because of the actions of that thing."
Tears pricked the corner of Hinata's eyes.
"Only you, Hinata, can change that."
Hinata looked down. She willed herself not to cry. "Do the villagers hate me Kiba-san? They struggle for food and shelter yet I now live in a castle with plenty of food to feed a whole country."
Kiba eyes widened. "We do not hate you! We fear for you Hinata! That damned Kyuubi could tire of you Hinata and then what. You'd become a used toy to throw away. And we all know how he get rid of his toys."
"You lie!" Hinata shouted. She didn't know if it was for what he said about the villagers or about Kyuubi. "I can see it in their eyes Kiba-san. They resent me, anger, jealously, hate…why should I, the no named orphaned, get something they can't," she continued hiding her real reason for the outburst.
"Then change it!" Kiba whispered loudly. He went up to Hinata grabbing her arms tightly. "The people will love you again if you help us out. We are your family Hinata-chan! You do not turn your back on your family!"
Hinata went limp in his hands. "And what do you expect me to do? Huh? What exactly can I do to change things?"
Kiba released his grip on her. He took a step back. His eyes never left her face. "Do something," he grew angry, "Use your feminine wiles, seduce him, get him to let up on us, get him to give us more food, more money, something Hinata. Help your family."
"And what if he doesn't want to do any of that," Hinata asked fear in her voice.
Kiba closed his eyes and exhaled. He opened his brown eyes. They were cold, unfeeling. He walked back up to Hinata. He leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Then kill him."
Hinata dried her eyes. "I will see what I can do."
Kiba smiled. He looked at Hinata happily, the coldness in his eyes disappeared. "Thank you Hinata-chan on behalf of this village."
Hinata nodded her head hesitantly. Kiba pulled her into a hug. He placed his lips tenderly on her forehead. Hinata was happy that he couldn't see the hesitation in her eyes. She herself didn't know if she could go through with what was spoken about.
And what if HE found out? What would be of her village then?
There was a knock on the door. "Hinata-sama it is time for you to leave." The voice of the head guard spoke through the door.
"C-coming," Hinata shouted.
Kiba pulled her back. He stared lovingly in her eyes. Hinata didn't know how she felt about her friend looking at her like that. "Thank you Hinata-chan," he whispered quietly. He placed his lips over hers, caressing her cheek.
He turned away from her, busying himself in his house. "You can go now. Don't forget about your family."
Hinata nodded slowly. She walked about the house in a daze. One guard helped her up into the carriage. Two more guards were already inside the carriage waiting for her. The third guard went up to the front where the head guard was. The head guard whipped the horse to get moving.
Welp, there goes the prologue. Hoped you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you think.
