Chapter One: Special wish…
The lady was on the bed, her delicate frame propped up by pillows for she was now too weak to sit up anymore. The white sheets matched her paled skin even though she was a mere husk of what she was; she was still more beautiful than anything was. Her long dark cerulean black hair fell in soft slightly curled waves around her body she as if she was resting, her eyes slowly opened as she heard the sound of stifled weeping. Her soft purple eyes stared lovingly at the weeping seven-year old by her bed. She inhaled slowly a feat that seemed to sap her depleted strength, "Hinata-chan…"
The woman's hand slowly rose toward the child's face and gently brushed against the child's tear stained cheek, "Look at me…"
The hand slowly moved and cupped Hinata's cheek; Hinata's small hands clasped the hem of the woman's sleeve and slowly, obediently looked up tears streaming down her face. The woman gazed at her, "Smile…"
Hinata's sobbing continued but lessened as the woman stroked Hinata's hair tenderly her lips a mere shadow of a smile, "Smile for me…it'll make me feel better…"
Hinata's smile strengthened and the woman's voice grew softer and her eyes began to dim slightly, "Bigger…"
Hinata obeyed and smiled what she hoped was her biggest smile the woman slowly smiled back a faint glimmer of happiness glowed in her eyes, "See…I feel better already…I'm not scared anymore…"
Through her tears, Hinata gave a puzzled fearful look as her grip on the woman's sleeve tightened, "What w-was scary?"
The woman gave a small chuckle, "Going…to sleep…I was scared…of the dark…but I feel brave now…because…Hinata-chan smiled for me…now I can go to sleep…but before I do I have to give a wish…"
Hinata leaned in closer her pale eyes growing large, "A w-wish…?"
The woman gave her a slow secretive smile, "Yes Hinata-chan…I have a wish for you to keep safe it's…a special wish that…only you can give me. I have…asked your father and he will let you give this one special wish for me…I wish…for you to protect the family…by becoming clan leader…Will you do that for me…will you give me that special wish?"
Hinata hiccupped wiping her eyes she nodded and the woman's smile grew and her eyes closed, "Such a good girl…my Hinata-chan is…", The woman sighed softly and grew still, her hand relaxed and slide from Hinata's cheek and landed softly on Hinata's small hands giving them a soft squeeze. She opened her lips and whispered so quietly it became an inaudible murmur, "I'm so proud…of my Hinata-chan…"
Hinata looked up at her and gave a tentative whisper for she seemed to be falling asleep, "Please d-don't go to s-sleep y-yet I h-have a wish t-too…"
Hinata stared at the woman her voice quivering, " M-mommy…?"
Hinata did not cry after she was ushered out of the room as the medical specialist and her father came running in. She just sat there watching Hanabi play with her doll. She did not look up until she heard the click of the door and her father Hiashi Hyuga came out and stood there for a moment any noise silenced at once. Then Hiashi Hyuga did something that even his closest relatives had never seen him do, he quietly walked to where Hanabi sat and kissed her on her head. Hanabi gurgled and continued to play as he picked her up and gave her to the waiting maid who whisked her out of the room.
Then with his back steeled he slowly walked to Hinata and stood over her regarding her through his cold white eyes, "Your training to succeed me as head of the Hyuga family starts tomorrow…"
Hesitantly he held out his hand and patted her head awkwardly then looked at the gathered Hyugas, "It was what my wife told me she wanted before she died…"
With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. There was silence as all eyes that had bowed respectfully for their lord now trained to Hinata. She quickly bowed and walked to her room what scared her most was how her father looked and what he said, "Before she died... Hinata closed the door and slide to the floor, her eyes welling with tears spilling on her little blue kimono she began to sob. "M-Mommy s-said it'll m-make her f-feel b-better if I s-smiled but, b-but it d-didn't…it-it d-didn't m-make M-Mommy be b-better…M-mommy…" Every thing was silent at the Hyuga compound that night that Lady Hyuga, beloved wife of Hiashi Hyuga and loving mother of Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga passed away..
