. Prologue: Meet Cinderhina .
"Hinata."
"Hi-na-ta!"
"HII-NAA-TAA!!"
Temari's screams echoed through the house causing the walls to vibrate and the floors to shake. Hinata quickly ran up the stairs flustered.
"Coming," she yelled. She ran into her step mother's room. The room was dark and dreary, weird ornaments of girls with fans and strange animals, filled her room. In one corner of the huge room was Temari's queen sized bed and in another corner was her wardrobe and vanity mirror. There was a freakish owl clock beside Temari's bed. It looked as if it were real. It's eyes scrutinizing Hinata's every movement. Hinata trembled and gulped as her eyes wondered the sinister looking room.
"Yes, stepmother?" she asked quietly. Temari glared at her.
"Finally," came Temari's sarcastic reply. "Hinata my laundries on the floor, do be a darling and wash them for me." continued Temari priggishly.
"Yes, of course." Hinata began to pick the dirty clothes scattered on the floor.
"Oh," Temari said as she remembered something. " When your done with those I want you to clean the sitting room- it's in a state. Then I want you to sweep the stairs, wash the dishes until they gleam. I want to be able to see myself in those plates, understood. Mop the floors from top to bottom- I should be able to eat off of them. Which reminds me some of my clothes need to be stitched up. After all of that you may resume your normal chores. Then you can do whatever you like. That is if you still have the time."
Hinata nodded meekly.
" Good, now you may go," Temari said boredly. She swatted her hand in the air shooing Hinata away.
(*)(*)(*)
Hinata walked cautiously into the hallway. The load of laundry in her arms was blocking her view. She slowly made her way towards laundry room also known as her bedroom. With the load blocking her view Hinata didn't notice Sakura walk in the opposite direction towards her. Sakura expecting Hinata to move out of her way made no signs of moving aside until she and Hinata bumped into each other. The both landed with a thump as the laundry flew into the air. Hinata rushed to her feet.
" Sorry!" she exclaimed worriedly as she bent down to help Sakura up her hand outstretched towards her. Sakura roughly slapped her hand away.
" Don't you dare try to touch me." Sakura snarled in indignation. Hinata held her stinging hand close to her heart as she silently murmured a quick apology. Sakura hastily stood up and wiped the imaginary dirt off her skirt. She then proceeded to look at Hinata with scorn and disdain as she primly said, "Whatever. Just watch where your going next time. Moron." she silently muttered. Hinata looked at the floor as she nodded. Sakura scoffed as she sauntered away.
That girl, she thought , is so annoying. What the hell is her problem. I can't stand the fact that we're related even if were only step sisters.
Look at her she's so filthy, so dirty and not to mention butt ugly.
(*)(*)(*)
Hinata wiped the sweat off her brow. She was exhausted. You would be too if you had been working all morning. I desperately need to rest, she thought. She looked at the clock on the kitchen wall. I guess it would be okay to have a little break now. She finished drying the dishes she had been washing and slumped tiredly out of the room.
"Hinata you look tired. You know you really shouldn't work so hard. I have no clue why they make you work this hard. I mean they have more than enough money to hire a couple of maids." a voice greeted Hinata.
Hinata smiled warmly at the little girl who sat at the end of her bed.
" Hanabi, how did you get in here?" she quietly asked.
" Through the door like I always do," she said pointing to the door at far end of the room. " You know you really should lock that thing. It's really easy for anyone to get in." Hinata nodded as she slowly made her way to the bed. She allowed her tense muscle to relax as she lay down on her bed. Her eye lids slowly began to close.
" They have no right to treat you this way. Look at you you're a mess. Aren't there laws against this sort of thing?" Hanabi paused. " You know, with the way your step family treats you , you should be called Cinderhina instead of Hinata." Hinata thought about it. Cinderhina. It certainly had a nice ring to it.
" If only I were like Cinderella." Hinata mused. " And this was some sort of fairytale. Maybe one day I'd find my prince charming and he'd come and whisk me away. And you too Hanabi." Hinata added once she noticed the younger girl glaring at her.
" Then we'd live happily ever after," Hanabi finished, a small smile on her face. Hinata sat up and gently hugged Hanabi.
" If only Hanabi. If only. But this isn't a fairytale and I'm not Cinderella." Hinata whispered into Hanabi's ear.
" Hinata," someone yelled.
" Coming!" Hinata rose to her feet and ran out the door towards the voice.
Hanabi remained sitting as she said softly, " Hinata you have no idea but I think you are living your own fairytale. And I'm sure one day you will have your happily ever after."
Never were more truer words uttered.

Temari: Why would I do that?
Me: In case you didn't notice my story doesn't exactly flatter your character.
