"What's wrong with her hair?" The midwife yelped. "It's pure white!"
"It's beautiful." Hizashi argued, taking the crying newborn into his arms.
"No Hyuuga has ever been born with light hair, let along white!" The woman retorted.
"Different... does not... mean bad..." Akane panted, smiling softly. "Hizashi, let me... see her..."
Hizashi took the bundled girl and carefully handed her to her mother. Akane gingerly held the child, humming softly.
Soon, the girl stopped crying, instead staring straight ahead of her. Akane thought for a moment, before she decided on a name.
"Shirohi." She said with a smile. "Hyuuga Shirohi. That will be her name."
"White fire?" The midwife sighed as she turned to leave. "I'll report all of this to Hiashi-sama."
"You should rest, Akane." Hizashi said, stroking the her dark brown hair.
"I suppose so... Place her in the crib so she can rest as well. Surely it's been a stressful day already for her." Akane replied.
Hizashi nodded, taking Shirohi and placing her in a crib next to the bed. However, the moment he let go of her, she began to cry again.
Akane looked over, watching as Hizashi picked up their daughter once more. The crying stopped soon after, but when he went to put her down again
it started once more.
"She's..." Akane gasped.
"We can't tell them..." Hizashi frowned, stroking Shirohi's face. This appeared to be the right thing to do, as soon the child stopped crying and
fell asleep.
"How will she learn the *Juuken?" Akane asked.
"She's our daughter after all, she'll find a way." Hizashi replied. In truth, he only hoped he was right.
(A/N: Yes, I'm back. OMFG I know. I promise, I'm still working on my other stories! It's just that this has been nagging at me for 8 months now... so I HAVE to write it. I have an ending in mind for this one, so it won't take me FOREVER to write. I hope. BTW, Juuken means Gentle Fist, for those who onle watch the Eng Dub. Please review! It helps motivate me! :) )
