Warning: Enjoy

Today was the day that Hinata Huuyga would leave Konoha most likely forever. Today she would be sold for who knows what and the only ones who knows of this horrible act is her father and her grandfather. Sitting in a dark room Hinata tug on the thin piece of clothing that was tightly wrapped around her body. She felt like nothing. She was hurt and unbelievably mad though it did not show through her face. She couldn't bring herself to cry nor could she bring herself to act out in rage. She couldn't do any of the things because she was to tired to do a thing.

If you paid attention to her legs you would have seen dark scars across her legs. If you paid attention to her entire body you could see that she was slowly breaking down. She felt like a ragged doll being thrown away for a plastic Barbie doll.

Remember you'll never be alone. Even if we don't see each other, remember you'll never be alone.

Grabbing a thin silver necklace out of her breast she stared at it. It was only thing she treasured the most was from her first and probably her best friend she had when she was little before he left Konoha forever. A small smile formed on her face as she let go of the silver necklace, letting it fall into her other hand. Letting it fall to her hand tears forced their way out of her eyes.

Looking through the tiny opening through the sliding doors Hinata saw a group of men sitting at a round table. Many of them looked rather lecherous and rather old. Her new life looked grim compared to the life of a 'failure' she was known to be at the Huuyga estate. As she was about to turn attention back to the silver necklace of hers she saw a woman with long green hair and blue eyes enter the room. She was followed closely by what looked like a red fox and a pink dog. All eyes were on her now. The woman's eyebrows formed into a frown as she noticed of the attention was on her now. Making a gesture to the fox the fox took its cue and jumped in the middle of the table grinning like an idiot. It spoke.

"Shouldn't you start the bid gentlemen. We haven't got all day to wait." the fox said. Just as she finished her statement Hiashi appeared through another door and now all eyes were on him. Clearing his throat he spoke.

"We know why we are all here so lets begin. Open the doors." commanded Hiashi and now all eyes were on Hinata. Scared Hinata did the only thing she could do and that was hold her head down and stare at the ground. For what seemed like forever all she could hear was the whispers of voices and then when she felt like it would never end she felt nudge on her thigh. Turning her head towards the object of interest she saw the fox beside her. Staring at it she was able to see all the colors of its coat and noticed that it tail looked bigger than its body. Its coat was a mixture of dark rose pink and a slight lavender. How it looked red to her was a mystery to her. A silly smile graced its face. Noticing what it was trying to cheer her up, she went to pet it. A loud clap to her back to reality. Looking at their faces Hinata assumed that the action was finished and from what she saw on most of the faces excluding the woman's smug face was that of defeat. Hinata assumed from the expressions on their faces was that the woman had paid a great price.

"Hmm, so do you accept it Hiashi. You know what? Don't answer that question I know that you will accept it. You know your kind are all to easy to figure out. It seems that the prideful, arrogant and hardheaded Huuygas have actually produced a sensible being into the world. Don't think that I came all this way to tell you how pathetic you are. On the contrary you just did us a big favor. Mark me on this Hiashi you will reap what you sow." her voice rang a little to sweetly. Nodding to the pink dog the dog transformed to a tall woman with pink hair and blue eyes who was holding a rather bulgy suitcase.

"Here is the 120,000,000 that was promised to you by Lady," the woman stated.

"Saiyuri," Hiashi whispered into the silent room.

"You!" yelled one of the men. He had on a long dark green robe." I thought my brother killed you at least sixteen years ago."

"Yes, father uncle did tried to kill me but as you can obviously see I am still alive and well. Not to mention as healthier than before. You know what? Don't you remember when I told you I was pregnant well guess what the child she's alive as well. Guess what I left her with my sister and her husband. From what I grasped not to long ago as I entered this village they live here as well. Now isn't that something?" she said breathlessly. The tension between the two grew thick but before the tension could grow any thicker the fox that was beside Hinata jumped back onto the table.

"I didn't come here to hear about your past Saiyuri. I didn't come here to waste my time hearing about a supposed past life. I don't think Lady would want to stay away from home for long here. Besides don't you think that Hinata Huuya's legs are sleepy? Huh?" said the fox turning towards Hiashi. "Sir, I mean no harm nor do I intend to make any indication to your upbringing to your child but before I continue. Gentlemen you are not needed for anything else the auction of Hyuuga Hinata is over. It would be in your best interest to leave if you value your lives." Before another world escaped its mouth all of the men were out of the room.

"Hyuuga Hinata stand up and face me." Lady spoke. Lady's voice was quiet and strong. Standing up Hinata shakily stood up and walked slowly towards Lady only stopping about three feet in front of her. Looking down at ground Hinata stood there waiting for the words, of any kind, to utter out of Lady's mouth. Startled by the sudden fingers on her chin Hinata came face to face to Lady. Hinata was surprised to see that Lady had such a young face. Looking into Lady's eyes Hinata could see that they continually changed from a dark blue to a light blue to white and back again to dark blue. A smile reached Lady's face. "You look so much like your mother,Miho, you know? I know what your new name will be! Your new name will be Nightingale."

"Lady I mean not to rush you but if you haven't realized then I should tell you. Darcie and Gray are supposedly coming by the estate later on in the evening." the fox said.

"Very well Aneko. Hiashi if you would sign here." said Lady pointing to the sheet of paper that magically appeared in front of him. Without looking at the sheet Haishi bit his thumb and signed the sheet of paper. Turning her attention back at Hinata she handed Hinata a pen and she to signed the paper. With a smile Lady took the paper and also bit her thumb. She turned back to Saiyuri who was sitting down near the door did the same. Looking pleased Lady gave Saiyuri a small nod and disappeared into a light white smoke. With a long sigh Saiyuri got up from her comfy position on the floor and after stretching about a little bit she turned towards Haishi and bowed slightly.

"Hyuuga Haishi the bet starts tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning. Sorry for my inexcusable behavior earlier." turning her attention to Aneko. "Aneko makes sure Nightingale doesn't forget anything." said Saiyuri quietly. Bringing her attention to Hinata Saiyuri smiled slightly "Hinata you will be known as Nightingale. You can use either choose your name you were born with or the one given to you by Lady. I'll see you tomorrow and we will get more acquainted." then she disappeared too in thin smoke. Leaving his daughter with the fox he left without a word. Turning her attention back to Aneko Hinata finally broke down into tears.

"Now, now I will promise you that in the end you'll be glad this happened besides don't you want to find the person who gave you that necklace don't you? Well you have more of a chance finding him with us than you would if you stayed here and I'll explain to you later what the bid thing is about. But promise me Nightingale that you will try not to cry as often. O.K? Come on I'll help you get ready." said Aneko as jumped off the table and nudge Hinata's side. With much effort Hinata was able to get up and go to her room.

Well how was it? I don't really have an idea who this person is but I do know where this story is going. Well tell me who you want Hinata's best friend to be or I'll just pick a name out of a hat or something but that's just a couple of chapters away. Review if you want. Calm Wind over and out
