Naruto: Teenage Suicide
Chapter One: Birth
Hinata met him at a young age, a few years before the academy, when he was sane. It was during one of the clan's fancy meetings when he first noticed her...There was something about her, she looked so cute.
He reminded her of the nice Neji… But Neji wasn't nice anymore, not after her Uncle's death… Neji's father.
She sat by her very pregnant mother as she stared at the wide onyx eyes that stared back at her. The small boy smiled, happy to see another child around his age in the room. Hinata smiled back wanting to stand up and go play with him… but she was sat back down by her mother. Her mother's grip around her small bicep slowly tightening,
"Behave like a Hyuga or your father will not be pleased," her mother whispered in a harsh voice. Hinata's smile disappeared as she stared back to find the boy, now, preoccupied with someone older than him.
"Nii-san!" the boy happily smiled.
"Shh… come on," the older boy took the younger boy in another direction.
-Sigh- Hinata looked down. She just wanted a friend.
TWOWEEKSLATER
"Hyuga's don't show emotion!" her father repeated in a unsympathetic voice, but Hinata couldn't stop crying.
"Focus!!" But she couldn't stop thinking about her mother… she was gone. Hinata heard her father come running towards her, but it was to late and she couldn't defend herself or at least avoid him.
"Aahh!" She fell to the ground holding her shoulder.
"Get up!" and she tried to do as she was told, but she couldn't and as she failed to get up she remembered her mother's words, 'Make your father happy…Please don't disappoint him.' She tried again, tiny beads of sweat slowly forming on her forehead. She fell to one knee, crying from being unable to stand up.
"Pathetic child," her father said as more tears slipped from her eyes. She was now face to face with her father, his grip on her head tightening, "You're not worth a life," and he dropped her. Such a cold face. She cried out of pain… confused.
"Father plea-" a kick to the stomach.
"Neji… watch outside," Hiashi commanded as Hinata hugged her stomach and rolled to one side.
This was the second time since Hinata's mother's death, Neji noted. He wasn't sure how he felt, but somehow it made sense in his mind. Hinata was getting what she deserved…after all, it was her fault too that his father died. Neji suddenly clenched his fist as he heard Hinata's screams…Hiashi needed to suffer too.
The door suddenly slid open and Hiashi came out… no emotion what so ever on his face. It was time to train Neji. Hiashi walked closer to the branch house where he usually trained him and Neji just followed him. Somehow his training sessions were too easy, but he didn't complain nor attacked back harder. Neji was smart enough to understand that he couldn't rise up against Hiashi… it would only end up in the activation of his seal and he didn't want that. He despised the man and yet feared him.
Half an hour later Neji stood at the frame of the door, staring at his small fragile cousin. Remembering what his father had said to him, "To protect Lady Hinata, that is your job. Protect her from death son. Promise me that you'll protect her,"
"I promise," Neji whispered… and Hinata stirred in pain. He would not hurt her because of that promise, but he would not help her either because of his growing hatred towards her…and he would not make her life any easier.
With some effort Hinata sat up and noticed Neji staring at her… and out of instinct she smiled,
"Nii-" but he clenched his fist and shouted,
"SHUT UP!" her smiled faded and her eyes watered, "I wish you were never born!" Her tears escaped her and he smiled, "You're so weak and pathetic. It would be so much nicer if you just disappeared," and he watched her flinch at every word, "Just die." He finished and walked away.
She cried and fear told her to hide. She didn't want her father to see her cry and hit her again. She stood up holding on to her shoulder that hurt so much and slowly walked out and into the forest.
"..mom…" she said between cries… as if hoping that her mother would appear by just calling out to her.
Her small legs burned in pain. A few more steps… she just wanted to get really far away. She fell at the trunk of a tree… her sobs slowing down with her. Her chest hurting.
"What's da matter?" a voice asked but Hinata didn't want to look up, "Hey what's wrong?" her face looked up and she recognized the boy, "You're badly hurt," the onyx eyed boy innocently stated the obvious.
Her tears returned remembering the day she had seen him, she was with her mother… and thus she cried remembering her mother. He was unsure of what to do, then suddenly remembered what his mother would do when he was hurt, so without hesitation he suddenly put his arms around her tiny body and she cried more out of pain but he kept on mimicking his mother, "shhh… it'll be okay," and he kissed her forehead where a large bruise was present.
Minutes passed and she had calmed down… slowly drifting into sleep, out of exhaustion. The boy looked down as he no longer heard her cry and noticed her grabbing onto his shirt. This gesture made a warm fuzzy feeling built up in his chest as he watched her.
"Sasuke-kun??" a monotone voice called out his name.
"Nii-san!!" Sasuke immediately responded then closed his mouth in a fast gasp remembering the small girl in his arms.
"Haven't I told you.." Itachi stopped in his tracks as he noticed Sasuke on the ground holding Hinata.
"Shh… She's hurt… I found her crying." Sasuke whispered.
"She's the heir to the Hyuga clan," Itachi said more to himself than Sasuke.
"Nii-san?" Sasuke asked not really hearing his brother clearly as he took Hinata from his arms.
"Shh.. I'll take care of her. Go back home, don't come back into the forest and don't tell anyone, Okay?" Itachi said turning his back to his brother.
"But what about my training?" Sasuke asked unsure of where Itachi was taking the girl.
"Tomorrow…now go!" he said as he jumped to the opposite direction of where Sasuke was heading.
It was tempting to kill her now, but he decided not to… Not for the time being, "Beautiful yet so unlucky…for now," He traced the bruise on her temple before he left. She was left close to her compound.
Hinata kneeled in front of her father. Her arms hurt, but she didn't dare move an inch.
"You are to stay in the house for the foreseeable future!" and so she was thrown into her room and locked in for the rest of the day. She walked towards her window and looked outside, memories of Neji and his harsh words still echoing in her mind. Then her mind reminded her of the onyx eyed boy. The embrace he had given her, it had hurt but that's all she wanted. Someone to care for her. Her father to hug her like Hizashi had hugged Neji… Like Neji had once hugged her.
She closed the curtains as the sun was sinking down and walked towards her bathroom while carefully undressing herself. Bony and pale she stood in the bathroom… the dark purple marks her father had given her contrasting her skin. She turned on the water and it slowly filled up with hot water. On her side the mirror reflected the sickening bruise on her back as she carefully traced her fathers hand prints on her small left bicep. The steam rose up as she turned the water off, she then noticed her face in the mirror and tears welled up in her eyes. A purple colored bump was above her eye close to her temple, "pathetic," she blamed herself. She closed her eyes…standing there for a few minutes.
She stepped into the hot water scorching her feet in pain, but she ignored the thought of jumping out and her feet pulsed in hopes of alleviating the pain. She stood for a moment in a daze, then sank into the tub as her tears rolled down to the hot water.
Hinata sat on her bed, her pink hand brushing her growing hair. Mindlessly running her hand through her hair when the door suddenly opened and she looked up. Her habit of smiling whenever she use to see him had not broken down. She smiled, "Nii-sa-" but her smile faded much like it usually did. He glared at her and dropped the tray he was carrying. The food splattered and the plate broke mimicking her heart. She stared at the door, sadness returning to her aching body. She knelt down after a few minutes and started to pick up the pieces much like the first time this had happened.
It had been close to two years now, but it still hurt. Most of the nights Hinata would cry herself asleep. Her small heart still hoping that her family would embrace her and make her feel okay. She just couldn't understand why she was treated so bad… She could only blame herself.
Things started to change though. Her cousin began attending the Ninja Academy, and at first she missed him, but soon didn't mind, because now her father was also busy training her two year old sister. Hinata wasn't allowed to spent time with Hanabi, other than when Hiashi wanted to see them spar. The sparring mostly came from Hanabi though, because Hinata didn't want to hurt her smaller sister at all.
After one of their sparring sessions, Hanabi was taken away by a lower branch servant to clean her up while Hinata was left facing his father for her "training" session.
"You weak worthless piece of skin," and she fell to the ground. It seemed to be more mental and emotional beatings now than physical ones. Hinata stood up, her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath. He yelled at her, but she kept only constantly hearing the words, "Worthless Weak Disappointment!" and they soaked into her head.
Her father left with someone from the council, sparing her a beating. Her eyes shut close to avoid tears. She needed to get away. She didn't want to be found crying and get beaten. Quickly she made a run for the forest.
"Hey!" She gasped, fear from being found, but she recognized the boy and her fear was replaced with overwhelmed feelings of happiness. He saw the fear and felt a little upset, but he then noticed her quickly look down.
"You look better," He continued trying to see her face again. Better than before, not healthy but better, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke," He said in hopes she would look up and smile like before.
She looked up and smiled and it gave him that fuzzy feeling from before, but then he was confused because she was crying, "You shouldn't cry.. It only shows that you are weak," He said trying to impress her with his knowledge. But something happened that brought that upset feeling again, her smile faded and she sobbed more. Those words were so much like her fathers, so much like the Hyuga believes. She didn't want to hear words like that… because she knew they were true…which meant that she really was weak and worthless.
"Don't be a crybaby," Sasuke said remembering his brother tell him that when he had cried once. He tried to grab her hand but she backed away from him. What had he done wrong? Why was she treating him like a monster or sickening germ?
"Stop crying… You look ugly like that!" He desperately said remembering her mothers words that crying made someone look less beautiful then they really were, but of course he didn't say it like that. Hinata broke into a ran, afraid that she was going to anger him to the point of him hitting her. She ran because she also wanted to get away from anything that reminded her of her father.
"Wait!" he angrily yelled, but stood still. He didn't know what he had done wrong, but he knew he wasn't suppose to be in the forest. That he wasn't suppose to see her at all. Itachi had told him not to.
-Sigh-
He just wanted to be friends with her.
Hinata couldn't help it. The tears just fell out in their own, and the pain just grew. She didn't want to be in pain. She just wanted to get away for now.
"AHH!!" a scream stopped her in her tracks and she tried to control her sobbing. She heard someone coming so she quickly hid behind a tree.
"KILL THE MONSTER!!"
"OFF WITH THE DEMOND!!"
"GET RID OF THE EVIL!!" yells of angry and furious man came closer, but she then noticed a boy run past the tree.
"Hahaha! You won't catch me this time!" the boy yelled in a brave voice, but unfortunately the boy tripped and fell. Hinata saw the boy try and get up as she memorized his features. He had blond spiky hair, part of it was soaked in blood running down half of his face. One of his blue eyes was grossly swollen. His clothes were dirty and bloody as well, but what surprised her was the smirk of his face. He stood up ready to run when one of the man attacked him.
"Kill the monster!!" another man yelled as the guy on top of the boy started punching him. The boy fell unconscious and the guy that was beating him held him up arms length.
"We finally get to avenge our families," said the man as Hinata saw another guy bring out a knife. No!
"STOP!!" Hinata yelled coming out of her hiding spot. The man were shaken a bit at first, but noticed only a girl.
"Get away child," one of the guys screamed.
"Naruto!!" they all heard a voice approaching fast.
"Damn, just stab him and go!"
"No…it's the Hokage, everyone run!!" The guy holding the knife said. The other dropped Naruto and everyone left running. Hinata hid behind a tree again, once she heard someone was coming. Not a second later the Hokage appeared followed by man dressed in black.
"I'll take care of Naruto, you follow the villagers and arrest them," the Hokage said kneeling by Naruto and carefully picking him up. The man in black left as fast as they appeared.
"I'm sorry," the Hokage apologized to Naruto…and Naruto opened one eye seeing him.
"Old man," he whispered as tears escaped him, "I won't give up," and he smiled before passing out.
"I'm glad. They don't deserve to see you cry," and the Hokage disappeared with Naruto on his arms.
"Na…ru…to," Hinata repeated smiling, "you won't give up," she said as her heart fluttered. She felt that she and Naruto were alike, they both were suffering and beaten, a similarity that told her that she shouldn't give up either.
