Hey Guys!

Sorry that I haven't updated 'Melting an Ice Queen' in a while; I really can't find any inspiration for it at the minute. No fear though, because this little story will be its temporary replacement.

I AM NOT ABANDOING! I just need to find a way to over come my writer's block on that particular story. I probably will alternate between the two stories.

Generally I don't like characters taking all the lime light, but Hinata has a special place in my heart.

WARNING! She's slightly OOC. I know that shyness is what makes Hinata, but I'm hoping that a certain someone (suprisingly not Naruto) can save her before Hiashi can corrupt her for good.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow, so I thought I'd leave you guys something to read while I'm gone.

I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.

I think that's about it; over and out.

Hinata Hyuga was a very clever five year old; she had to be if she managed to sneak out of the Hyuga compound without even breaking a sweat. She had already been out once today, at the playground, but something in the back of her head was telling her to be a rebel. She supposed that it was easy to sneak out due to the fact that the Hyuga, both main and branch, treated her as though she wasn't really there.

They thought she was weak. They thought she was unworthy of being the heiress to their clan. Hinata frowned and wondered how people, her clan no less, could be so quick to judge a little girl who had barely started her training.

They just saw that she didn't fit into the stereotypical Hyuga personnel; she wasn't an emotionless statue that fed on the discomfort and insecurities of others. She didn't enjoy watching people tremble when they heard her surname.

Was it so wrong to feel things such as compassion? She pondered this as she made her way into the dark forest. At the time, of course, she hadn't known that she had wandered off into the woods. After about ten minutes, Hinata realised where she was, or rather where she wasn't.

Where was the footpath that she had last remembered walking down? Where were the buildings that had towered above her not long ago? Gone. Hinata, a lonely five year old with no way of defending herself, was lost.

She was about to cry. Never had she been so far away from home without another member of her clan. She didn't know what to do or which way to turn.

Thankfully, she heard the sound of someone breathing heavily before the tears could begin to cascade. She wanted to run straight for the sound, but something made her hesitate.

Her father had told her never to talk to strangers, but her father had also told her to never leave the compound alone. Since she had already broken the latter, she deemed it okay to break the first. Plus she was out of options.

Running as fast as her little legs could carry her, Hinata headed toward the thing that could possibly save her, or kill her. She hadn't been running long when she spotted a beautiful violet haired girl who looked about seventeen years of age.

She was violently punching a tree, but Hinata saw her Konoha headband and instantly knew that the girl would not harm her.

She watched in awe as the girl threw kunai and shuriken with perfect precision. She planned to stay hidden and try to follow the girl back home, but this didn't happen. The girl spotted Hinata almost instantly and demanded that she show herself.

Hinata felt helpless, but she obeyed the girl's orders nonetheless.

She stepped out from behind the cover of her tree with her hands behind her back. Hinata was afraid that the scary girl would think bad of her for spying. What she didn't expect was for said girl to kneel down in front of her and gently unclasp her hands from behind her.

"What is a little cutie like you doing out in a big bad forest like this?" The girl asked.

Hinata couldn't comprehend why such a pretty girl was being so nice to her. Of course her late mother used to treat her with such kindness, but Hinata assumed that is was an unspoken rule that mothers were nice. She didn't know, and she didn't have time to ponder because the girl was getting impatient.

"Come on, I'm growing old waiting." The girl huffed.

Eventhough this wasn't as kind as the first comment, something about the girl made Hinata instantly like her. She decided that the girl was a good person and lifted her head to look her in the eye.

The girl gasped. Having not seen Hinata's eyes, due to the fact that they were covered by her bangs when her head was lowered, she didn't know that Hinata was a Hyuga.

"Let me rephrase my first question. What is a little cutie, who happens to be a Hyuga, doing out in a big bad forest like this?"

"I-I'm lost." Hinata answered.

The girl frowned. "Sorry. I didn't catch that."

"I-I s-said t-that I-I'm lost." Hinata said, trying to raise her voice so that the girl could hear her this time.

"I gathered that; I mean what are you doing in this forest in the first place?" The girl questioned.

"I-I was w-walking around t-the village a-and I w-wasn't w-w-watching where I-I w-was g-going." Hinata informed her.

"Oh, well I suppose I could take you back. I'm Anko by the way. Anko Mitarashi." Anko told Hinata.

"H-Hinata H-Hyuga." Hinata replied.

"Alrighty then, let's head back." Anko said while standing up and beginning to turn in the direction Hinata assumed was home.

"W-wait!" Hinata shouted before she could stop herself.

Anko turned around with a raised brow. "Hmmm?"

"I s-saw t-the w-way you t-threw t-those t-t-tools and I w-wanted t-to learn h-how t-to d-do t-that." Hinata finished with a bright red blush covering her face.

"I thought that as a Hyuga you had already began your training?" Anko questioned.

"I h-have b-but f-father b-b-barely h-has a-any time f-for me. H-he c-considers me w-weak and u-useless." Hinata told her.

Anko's face faltered. She's five at most. How can someone deem another weak at such an early age? She thought.

Anko studied the little girl infront of her. She wasn't asking for a lot, just a simple lesson on throwing ninja tools. Anko felt sorry for the girl, it was the least she could do.

"Alright Hinata, I teach you how to handle ninja tools. But that means that eventhough I'm only teaching you one lesson, I'm your sensei."

"H-hai!" Hinata agreed.

"Another thing; shyness IS NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR VOCABULARY!" Anko shouted. "No stuttering, avoiding eye contact or poking your fingers together." Anko eyed said fingers that were currently doing just that.

Hinata quickly put her hands behind her back, but Anko's disapproving stare had her moving them onto her hips as she tried to mimic her sensei's stance.

"H-hai!" She shouted.

Anko glared. "No stuttering."

Hinata took a while to compose her answer. Eventhough it was one word, she was extremely proud when she managed a "Hai!" without even a single stutter.

Anko smiled. "See, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

"No sensei." Hinata replied.

She had amazed herself; within five minutes she had overcome her shyness and stuttering. Anko was INCREDIBLE.

"Okay, now that we have that issue sorted, we can get down to business."

Hinata jumped at this. Never before had she been so excited to train.

For over an hour Anko showed Hinata how to wield some of the basic ninja tools. Hinata was a fast learner; within that hour, she had managed to hit the target a good amount of times.

Anko was surprised. Sure she had heard of the Hyuga skill, but never had she witnessed such a young child take to training like a bird to air. She watched as Hinata hit bullseye again before calling her to a stop.

"We have to head back now, it's getting late." Anko announced.

Hinata frowned. She had be having fun learning new things from Anko. Anko was an awesome teacher, Hinata was sad that her first and last lesson with her first sensei had came to an end.

Anko saw Hinata's frown and an identical one appeared on her face. She too was sad. Hinata was a fast learner, and once she had bypassed all of the shyness, Hinata was a good person to talk to as well. An idea struck Anko, one that she would have never thought of even considering before today.

"How about I keep teaching you for a while? At least until you enrol into the academy." Anko suggested.

Hinata's face immediately lit up. "Yay!" She shouted and then ran up to hug Anko. "Thank you Anko-sensei!"

Anko was touched by Hinata's hug. Although she would never admit it, it had been a long time since Anko had last had a hug. She craved Hinata's compassion. Already she had grown attached to the girl, thinking her as the younger sister Anko never had.

"Alright kid, enough with the hugs. It really is getting late now." She said and laughed when Hinata grinned at her

They set off at an enjoyable pace back.

Suddenly, something occurred to Anko.

"Hey, Hinata, why haven't you activated your byakugan yet? I mean, you have the skill, and not to mention your above average chakra reserves for a kid your age."

Hinata stopped and considered this. It was a real mystery why Hinata could use her byakugan. What Anko said was true, even at five Hinata knew that her chakra and stamina were above average for her age.

"I don't know, father says that I'm too useless." Anko's fists unconsiously tightened, "But the problem is, I know what to do. As soon as I could talk, I was taught all about my kekkei genkei. How to activate it, the strenghs and weaknesses, how to deactivate it...I know everything about it."

Hinata looked deep in thought. "Or perhaps I don't. Maybe even the Elders don't know everything about it. Maybe there is something that I'm missing, something that is not really missing, because it was never known to be there in the first place." Hinata mussed.

Anko listened to Hinata's theory. For a five year old, the girl was really intelligent. "I think you're right. Obviously there is something special about your byakugan, you just have to figure out what."

Hinata smiled sadly at Anko. "Thank you Anko-sensei for trying to make me feel better, but I wasn't implying that I was special. I just meant that maybe there are secrets to the byakugan that no one knows about."

"Whatever, I still think you're special regardless." Anko replied.

Hinata beamed at her sensei. She hadn't felt so wanted since her mother was alive.

They walked in a comfortable silence after that, only breaking it to plan their next meeting.

"Father has guards escort me to the playground every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 1pm. They drop me off and come to pick me up after exactly four hours."

"Great! I can meet you there and take you into the forest. We'll be able to train for ages and still make it back before they come. Nobody will suspect a thing."

Hinata nodded. "Father also allows me to go to the cemetery once a week. I usually stay there for quite a while. We could meet there as well."

"That's a good idea. I could teach you stuff like how to meditate properly and shit like that." Anko informed her.

Hinata wasn't shocked at Anko's swearing; the child had heard her cuss several times before.

They continued their planning until they reached the Hyuga compound. It was eerily quiet. Almost too quiet.

Anko watched as Hinata immediately went back into her shy shell.

"Oh no you don't; even when I'm not there, I want you to be confident, or at least not the stuttering mess you previously were." Hinata was about to protest, but Anko cut her off, saying that it was part of her training.

Hinata hesitantly agreed to Anko's terms and confidently, or as confidently as a five year old who was scared out of her brains could, she walked into her house, only looking back to give Anko a small farewell.

The halls of the Hyuga compound were empty, so she made a mad dash to her room. What she didn't expect was to see her father on the way.

"Hinata" He looked startled and suspicious to see her out of bed. "What are you doing out of your room? Your bedtime was an hour ago."

Hinata fidgeted. Think of an excuse. Think of an excu...oh!

"Sorry father, but I just went to the kitchen to get a drink. My mouth was parched." She explained while trying to muster as much confidence as she could.

Her father narrowed his eyes, but nevertheless he changed the subject. "I see that you have finally gotten rid of that infuriating stutter. Good." After he had finished talking, he turned and made his way down the halls and towards his office.

Hinata let out a breath she didn't realise she had been holding and walked the rest of the way to her room. At least I did something right today.

Tired and worn out from training with Anko, Hinata only just managed to change into her pajamas before she collapsed onto her bed.

The next day Hinata was woken by a maid and told that her father wanted her. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was 9am.

Father must want to train. She thought as she began to get dressed.

I didn't take long to get to the dojo and, she was right; he father was impatiently tapping his foot and scowling at her.

"Hinata" He addressed. That was the only greeting Hinata would get out of him.

"Good morning father." Hinata replied. She still couldn't believe that her stutter hadn't returned. It was gone. Forever.

Her father spoke no more words. Instead he got into the famous Hyuga stance. Hinata tried to mimic him but she still hadn't gotten the hang of it yet. Her father's patience was sure to run out soon...

Hinata cried out in pain as she was slammed against the wall again.

"You could not block my attack in time." Hiashi said as he towered over Hinata. "Get up"

Hinata followed Hiashi's orders, eventhough every part of her body screamed their protest. She clumsily got back into stance and got ready to defend herself.

Once again, Hinata didn't see Hiashi coming. Once again, Hinata was flung into the wall. The only difference this time was the fact that several of Hinata's ribs and her leg was broken.

Hinata layed on the floor. She couldn't move, even when Hiashi demanded that she stand. He sneered at her. "Weak. I can only hope that your younger sister is not as big a disappointment as you are."

With that he walked away, presumably to Hinata's baby sister.

Although not even one year of age, the baby Hanabi was still the favourite. Hinata couldn't even see why. She was a baby for crying out loud. However, Hinata never voiced her opinions; she would surely be punished for speaking out of place.

She layed there for hours with nobody bothering to escort her to the infirmary.

Hinata sighed and began to rise onto her one good leg. Testing her injuries, she decided that it wouldn't be that much of a challenge to walk to the infimary herself. She'd had worse from her father's previous training sessions; that was why her tolerance for pain was so high.

Flinching slightly as she put pressure on her bad leg, she awkwardly began to limp in the direction of the Hyuga's personal hospital.

It didn't take long to get there and Hinata wasn't surprised to see that the small room was empty. Her father always warned the medics when he left Hinata after training. They weren't to help her; she had to figure out how to do things for herself.

Hinata wouldn't have minded, if she had been showed what to do first. I'm five years old for crying out loud! How do they expect me to heal myself? I can barely put a bandage on... She stopped her mental rant when an idea suddenly struck her. I can ask Anko-sensei to teach me!

With that plan in her head, Hinata quickly finished applying some sort of healing acceleration cream. She ran as quick as a five year old with several broken bones could to her bedroom and changed into pajamas.

She was very excited about tomorrow and was eager to sleep. I didn't take long to fall into a dreamless slumber; she was so exhausted and drunk with fatigue that sleep just came without a second thought.

The next day, Hinata woke up early and got a shower. Her clothes had been layed onto her bed by the maids. It was a simple kimono and sandals, but Hinata made sure to wear shorts and a t-shirt underneath. She would take the kimono off when she was training with Anko.

However, there was still the issue of Hinata's injuries. The cream had eased most of the pain and had helped speed along the healing, but she still had to be careful; the cream could only heal external injuries. Her broken bones hadn't were still a problem, and it showed in the way she was limping and folding her arms underneath her chest.

Hinata frowned and wondered how she would manage to train, but eventually she just decided to grin and bare it.

With that resolve in mind, she waithed patiently for the hours to tick by. It took a lot longer than Hinata thought, but eventually some of the guards came to escort her to the playground.

Hinata looked at the guards and saw that each one was identical. They all wore the same emotionless expression which informed everyone who saw them that the Hyuga were to be messed with.

Arriving at the playground, Hinata instanly looked around for Anko. She frowned when the violet haired girl couldn't be found amonst the crowds of children that littered the playground.

Nevertheless, she dismissed the guards and made her way over to a little tree that was on the outskirts of the park. She sat and once scanned the area. This time, her eyes landed on a form that looked like Anko. She sqealed and slowly rose to her feet. Anko was making her way towards Hinata now and she frowned when she noticed that Hinata was limping.

"Hinata, are you hurt?" Anko asked, genuinly concerned.

"My leg is broken, and a few of my ribs." Hinata informed her anxious looking sensei.

"WHAT! Come on, I'll carry you back to your father." Anko told Hinata.

"My father knows, he caused my injuries while we were training." Hinata admitted.

"WHAT! WE ARE GOING TO YOUR FATHER RIGHT NOW AND GIVING HIM A PIECE OF OUR MINDS!" Anko shouted.

"No" Hinata said. "My father is my father. Technically, since he was training me, he did nothing wrong."

"Of course he did." Anko replied. "Who in their right minds would injure their own daughter that baddly?"

My father. Hinata thought. She didn't voice this though. Instead she decided on changing the subject. "Would you teach me how to heal myself?" Hinata asked.

Anko frowned before she replied. "I would if I could. The best I can do is show you how to properly bandage yourself up." An idea suddenly struck Anko.

"I know! We'll learn how to heal together! The hokage has being telling me for ages that I should learn some medical ninjutsu, but I just haven't had the time."

Hinata looked happy at the prospect of learning something alongside her sensei, and she jumped at the opportunity of learning to heal herself. "Yes!"

"Okay" Anko said. "I'll be back soon."

With that she diappeared into thin air. Where to, Hinata didn't know. All she knew was that Anko would be back. Anko would never abandon her knowing that she was injured. She didn't think that Anko would abandon her even without her injuries.

True to her word, Anko was back in ten minutes, carrying a rather large scroll on her back.

"Okay squirt, I'll carry you into the forest and then we'll have a look at the scroll on medical ninjutsu that I swiped from the hospital."

Hinata nodded and allowed Anko to pick her up. They were flying through the trees within seconds. To Hinata, it was an exhilerating experience. Never before had she traveled so fast.

"Wow! Can you teach me how to run this fast?" Hinata asked.

"Sure thing squirt. But let's get you fixed up first." Anko replied.

They were quite deep into the forest now. Far enough away so that no one could spot them. Anko set Hinata down and opened up the scroll.

The two instantly began to study it. They soon became immersed in their self appointed task.

An hour later, Anko had begun to get frustrated.

"This is pointless. I'm getting nowhere!" She exclaimed, but quietened down when she saw what Hinata was doing.

This little Hyuga's hands were placed over a dead plant and they were glowing a faint green. Somehow Hinata managed to revive the plant. Although as soon as the green light faded, the plant instantly deteriorated again.

Hmm...the girl's not even a ninja yet, but she can still do something like that at her age. I couldn't even do that and I've had years of experience. She's got talent; it's evident in the way she picks things up so easily. Anko thought to herself.

At first she was planning on keeping these training sessions secret, but now she realised that the Hokage had to be informed about the Hyuga heiress.

"Come on Hinata, seeing as I can't get the hang of this, we'll take you to the hospital." Anko said and then she picked up Hinata and started to run out of the forest.

She dropped the child off, promising to be back as soon as possible, and then made a quick trip to the Hokage tower.

"Anko Mitarashi is in the building!" The Hokage didn't know whether to groan or smile at Anko's antics as the violet haired konoichi burst through the door.

"Hello Anko" He greeted. To be honest, he was happy was the distraction; it gave him an excuse to not do the pile of paperwork that sat upon his desk. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"Well" Anko began, immediately serious. "I've come to discuss the Hyuga heiress." She told him.

"Hinata Hyuga?" The Hokage asked in surprise. Why would Anko want to talk about a five year old child who, to his knowledge, she had never met before.

"Yes, I met her on Saturday when she got lost in the forest. She saw me throwing some weapons and wanted a lesson on how to wield them. Afterwards, when I was taking her home, I realised that I really like the girl. She was a fast learner, not to mention good company, and so I offered to continue giving her lessons." She explained.

Strange, from the rumours that have been spreading, the Hyuga heiress is supposed to be weak. The Hokage thought. He also wondered why Anko would dedicate her time to training a five year old.

"I see" The Hokage said. "But that doesn't explain why you are here."

"Well...we met up today and Hinata had a lot of bad injuries from her father's training session the previous day." Anko clenched her teeth at the thought of what Hinata's father had done.

"She wanted to know how to heal herself, and I also needed to learn some medical ninjutsu, so I took a scroll from the hospital." She laughed sheepishly when the Hokage sent her a disapproving look, but she continued nonetheless.

"After about an hour, I still couldn't get the nack of the basics. Hinata however managed to revive a small plant. Albeit, it was only for a few seconds, but it was more than I could do. And for someone her age considering even the basics of medical ninjutsu require amazing chakra control, I'd say that this girl has talent." She finished her speech and looked at the Hokage, curious about what he would say.

He seemed to think about his answer carefully before speaking outloud. "So you're suggesting that I get someone to teach her medical ninjutu." He stated rather than asked.

Anko nodded in reply. "The girl not only seems to have talent for medical ninjutsu thought; her stamina and chakra reserves are above average for her age, she's really intelligent for a five year old, and there is also the mystery as to why she can't activate her byakugan."

The Hokage sat back in his seat. "I suppose I could arrange something for little Hinata; leave it with me for now. I'm assuming you want this to be kept a secret?"

Anko nodded. The less people who knew about her training Hinata, the better. The Hyuga would probably be annoyed that someone outside their clan was training Hinata; keeping this quiet would just save a lot of headaches in the long run.

"Alright, thanks old man. I've got to get Hinata back to the playground now; those stuck up guards will be due to pick Hinata up soon." With that she got up and jumped out of the window.

The Hokage shook his head before smiling. She seemed more serious when we were discussing Hinata. Maybe her time with the girl will do the both of them some good.

As Anko ran towards the hospital, she thought about how protective she felt over Hinata. Jeez, I only met the kid two days ago yet, it feels like I've known her for years.

It was like Anko's whole being was dedicated to this small child. She didn't even known why she felt like this; talent and good conversations don't exactly make people devote their entire life to another. It was a puzzle she couldn't figure out. Something just drew her to Hinata and made her want to help the girl.

She was still pondering over this when she arrived at the hospital. Walking down the hall, to the room she left Hinata in, Anko knew that someday Hinata would be a very strong ninja. She didn't know how she knew, it was more of an acknowledgement her subconsious made.

She entered the room without knocking was sitting on the hospital bed with a lollipop in her mouth.

As soon as Hinata saw Anko, she visibly brightened.

"Anko! This doctor fixed me up and he...GAVE ME A LOLLIPOP!" She shouted in glee.

Anko smirked at the child's antics. Looks like I'm rubbing off on her. Don't know whether that's a good or bad thing...

"That's good squirt." She said before turning to the doctor.

"Her bones have been mended, but I recommend her not doing anything over excerting for a day or two." The doctor advised.

Anko nodded. "Right, anything else?" She asked.

The doctor seemed slightly hesitant to say the next part. "Well...I noticed that her chakra reserves are higher than expected from someone her age."

Anko nodded at this, not shocked as she already knew, and gestured for the doctor to continue.

"There's also something odd in her blood. It's not chakra, or any other natural substance; it looks like blood, but it doesn't match hers." The doctor informed her.

"So you're saying that she has someone elses blood in her body?" Anko asked, wondering how that could have happened.

"Not someone elses." The doctor contradicted. "More like something elses."

Anko was confused and the doctor could clearly tell. "It's faintly like that of a summon's, but this is richer, and very very old. I think that has something to do with why she healed so quickly; even before I healed her, her bones had already started to heal themselves. Normal people's bones take weeks to start to mend." He explained.

At this information, Anko frowned. This kid just becomes more and more of a mystery every time I meet her.

The doctor saw Anko's frown, so he decided to change the subject. "On a lighter note, she seems very interested in medical ninjutsu. I even showed her the basics while we were waiting for you. She grasped them so well that I gave her a small scroll to study at home. For a child of her age, she is extremely talented."

"Hmm...well I think it's time we got going. What do you think Hinata?" Anko asked her.

Hinata took the lollipop out of her mouth long enough to say "Yes" before putting the sugary treat back in and jumping off the bed.

It didn't take long to arrive at the playground, and they both said their farewells to each other. Before Anko left, Hinata remembered something.

"Anko-sensei, tomorrow I am going to the cemetery. It is my mother's birthday, and I want to bring her some flowers." Hinata told Anko.

The older girl agreed to meet Hinata there at 10 o'clock and then once again said goodbye.

Hinata watched as Anko left. She liked the violet haired girl a lot. Anko would help her to get stronger. Anko would be there for her when her father wasn't.

Hinata then remembered the doctor's and Anko's conversation. She had heard everything clearly, but she was confused. What was a summon, and why did she have its blood in her body? These were the questions that Hinata pondered as the guards brought her home.

She had made sure that the little scroll was hidden from view. Of course, if one of the Hyuga decided to use their byakugan, her efforts would be futile.

Thankfully Hinata made it to the compound without being caught, and as soon as she was through the gates, she ran all the way to her bedroom.

She couldn't keep the feeling of giddyness away when she slowly opened the scroll. Scanning through it, she found that there were excersises that could improve her chakra control. She also saw ways that she could practise the jutsus, seeing as practising on herself was too dangerous.

She studied the scroll until she was called down for dinner. Although her father barely acknowledged her, he still insisted that she join him for dinner every evening.

As she began down the halls to the dinner room, Hinata wondered what it would be like if her father saw her strength. She knew that she could be a good ninja; it was Anko who was training after all.

There were different kinds of strength, and people didn't have to be cold and heartless to prove they were strong. That's why her father couldn't see her potential; he just assumed that because of her compassionate nature, she was instantly weak.

That's when Hinata decided something. She wouldn't show her father how strong she was going to be until it was too late. She would keep this a secret for as long as she could. If her father couldn't like her the way she was, then she wouldn't go out of her way to gain his approval.

With that resolve in mind, Hinata sat down at the table silently.

Her father greeted her with a stiff nod and Hinata gave a small "Hello father" in greeting.

Throughout lunch, no one spoke a word until Hiashi finally brought up the subject of Hinata's visit to the cemetery.

"I assume that you want an extended visit to the cemetery tomorrow?" Hiashi asked his first born.

"If that's okay father." Hinata confirmed.

"Very well" With that, he dismissed Hinata and walked out of the room.

Hinata refrained from sticking her tongue out at her father's retreating back. Anko had taught her a new word today. The word described her father perfectly. Hiashi Hyuga was certainly an arsehole, although she probably would never gain the courage to say that his face.

Hinata was annoyed that her father could be so superficial. She knew that feelings were inevitable, so she couldn't understand why her father and the rest of her clan refused to acknowledge them. Hinata was only five, and yet she already wanted out of this dreadful clan.

Maybe when she was the clan head, she could change the Hyuga for the better.

It was a thought that remained in her head for the rest of the evening. She stayed up late finishing the scroll that the doctor gave her, and she promised herself that she would buy the materials needed to help her practise medical ninjutsu tomorrow.

Sleep didn't come as easily as the night before, but eventually she managed to obtain it. Her dreams that night consisted of glowing green hands, shuriken and kunai, and oddly enough, dragons.

First chapter done.

I'm trying something different this time; it's actually set in the ninja world. As I've said before, I'M NOT ABANDONING MELTING AN ICE QUEEN! I just need some inspiration.

That review box is calling your name, so let me know what you think. No flames.

Guess that's all for now.

Seeya later alligators!
