Chapter 1:The Peace He Gave Me

Hinata sat quietly at her desk, taping her ink pen rhythmically on her desk matching the sounds of a clock.

Tick! Tick! Tick!

She leaned back on her chair in a casual position, as she pushed back her long hair the now went down to the end of her back. She had a brooding expression on her face just like how her father and cousin, Negi, displayed perfectly. A few short piles of white paper were lined neatly on her desk as she sat, waiting for it to be read, but she couldn't. Her mind was somewhere else.

She stood up from her chair and walked around the large tatami mat room decorated in a black and white theme. Everything in the room was boring and cold, like how her mind thought herself to be now. She hated the misery that she gave and the feeling of putting their hope sup, but she couldn't let them go without showing them what love was. She absolutely couldn't.

Slllick!

The sliding of a tatami door made Hinata turn on her heel.

"Sorry for the intrusion Lady Hinata, but your meeting with the Hokage and the other head of the clans would be starting in 40 minutes, my lady." Said one of her white-eyed relatives, from God knows how, who was on his knees bowing in a humble gesture.

"Thank you very much for reminding me." She bowed back, and with that the man left with a humble bow back closing the door.

She sighed, as she headed out the door, for the bathroom. She looked at the mirror. Many have said she turned into a nice young lady. With great resemblance to her mother with her long navy blue hair, soft pale skin, her average height, but what really contrasted was her big lavender-eyes. Her mother had lavender-eyes, but hers wasn't like the byakugan infused eyes her family had, but a non-kekkei genkai lavender shaded eye.

It got prettier and prettier every time she saw them. It was always so rare to see her eyes, and she longed for them every time she saw them. But they slowly faded away sadly.

Hinata looked at her face, and slowly turned on the faucet. She brought both her hands together to act like cups to let the water fill up evenly. She splashed her face several times, she continued the ratio of cupping water and splashing in her face until she felt all of her guilt, nervousness, and discomfort.

She felt guilty for sitting in her office thinking of all her wrongs she did, there was nothing she could do anyway. She just had to accept what was handed in front of her, she tried her best now this was the limit. But there was this beckoning sound at the back of her head telling her to keep pushing forward don't settle for less, don't let people set your own stopping point. She stood at the sink to think of those words, but quickly brushed it off to continue her day without dazing off. Her deep thinking kept her off track and she couldn't afford to be off track.

She looked at her body. She wore plain blue kimoto top that covered her chest perfectly, she wore similar blue pants that she wore when she was 16. Over all of that was a large overcoat her father used to wear. She turned away from the mirror and posed. She put her thumb over her back pointing to the hiragana written on her back stating HYUGA, as she put her other free hand on her hips. This overcoat represented the reason she couldn't feel guilty, discomfort, or nervous. She had to stay on track for the sake of her clan.

She turned and laughed at the stance she made. It reminded her of a person the back she saw throughout the whole 4th Shinobi War. A back that no one knew would be seeing, that would lead them to victory. A person they shunned their whole lives that turned their discouraging faces to a mouth opened shocked face. This boy was Naruto. The hero of the village.

"I wonder where he is right now." She thought to herself.

She smiled as she thought of his smiling face, which made her currently cold and dark heart a little tingle inside. On an instant she shook off the smile she had on her face as she left the bathroom. She had a serious meeting to attend that didn't afford giggles and silly laughter. She walked down the halls of the Hyuga household towards the main courtyard. The Hyuga household was a beautiful palace. It was like a paradise on earth for any Japanese family. The plants in the courtyards were imported from different villages and every time you walked in there you were invited by nice sweet aromas with animal life, and nice, relaxing silence. The mansion its self was filled with many rooms one side for the main branch, which was bigger and the other side for the side branch, which was a little smaller. But what was inside really gave Hinata the chills of sadness. She had these chills since she was able to understand the role of the Hyuga Clan. Ever since appointed as the Family Head and taking on the responsibilities as one, she tried to change the ancient rules of the clan, even the elders agreed to some terms from the annoying stubbornness Hinata portrayed. That gave Hinata the shawl that warmed her chills a bit. But they had to have one condition that Hinata thought made the clan even worse. Now she currently lost her shawl and replaced it was a fan blowing cold air on a winter's night, with Hinata wearing nothing, but shorts, a short sleeve shirt, and flip flops. This feeling was nothing compared to what she felt before when she was younger. It was more of a fever that is underestimated. Maybe then she accepted it, that's why it's not compared to the feeling now, but after making a sudden change that couldn't be changed for centuries, and having the change have a little illogical depressing part to it made it worse. It's like having to subtraction a number to an addition problem you finally cracked after a 2 hours of contemplating, but found out you had to add 5 to it making the answer seem completely not what it should be.

Hinata was greeted by several side branch members once she made it to the courtyard, making a large commotion.

"Lady Hinata! Are you hungry? You should eat before you leave the house."

"Lady Hinata! Let my comb your hair so you could look even more stunning for the meeting!"

"Lady Hinata! Let me straighten your overcoat, your presenting the Hyuga clan, it shouldn't be nice a creased not crumpled!"

"No thank you, I'm not hungry right now. I think my hair is fine the way it is I wouldn't want to stand out too much, thank you for the concern though. I think people would know who I am by my eyes, I'll look as proud to be a Hyuga in the meeting, thank your pride of being a Hyuga!" Hinata tried her best to ward off the crowd of side branches, but I guess there cries where louder than her voice, that she tried to make as loud as possible.

The uproar went on until a whistle settled them down.

WOO WOO!

Every head turned to the direction of the noise. There stood a woman with white Hyuga eyes, standing proud sporting a white cloth-like kimoto. Her black hair reached her shoulders, with her front hedges reaching her chest. Wrinkles were slowly forming on her face, but the way she stood made her seem younger. She held a black folder in hand as she strode closer to the group causing all the side branches to scatter.

"Shall we go?" Said the woman.

"Of course." Hinata sighed, walking out the compound.

As they walked, a man with a black bandana over his head and a green flak jacket accompanied by another man with black chin length hair walked behind them. The both had the brooding white eyes that Hinata's family shared.

"Hello, Lady Hinata." The man with a black bandana greeted. He stopped walk to bow, the other man bowed as well.

Hinata stop walking and turned to return the bow, "Hello, Ko! I thank you for your concern, but I would like it if you both left me so I can walk without guard today please."

"But…Lady Hinata, It's-"

"It's necessary, I know. But the world is as peace now. I would never run into trouble, I have faith."

"You say that all the time My Lady, but it's Hyuga-"

"I am a Hyuga correct?"

"…Yes"

"A Hyuga is powerful, yes?"

"Then I would be fine with just me and Hiro. If I run into any trouble I could handle it." Hinata gestured to the woman in white.

The woman squinted, but turned the other direction. Ko looked at Hiro bewildered, but change backed to his normal expression.

"If I ever get my hands full, you know I'll always call on you Ko. I love you, your family to me." Hinata smiled, putting her hand on his shoulder.

Ko nodded and gestured to the other man to follow him back to the Hyuga compound.

Hinata and Hiro continued the walk in silence for a few minutes until Hinata spoke up.

"You know I can take care of myself, I could walk the streets by myself when I was 12, why did you have to call Ko? You know I hate making him think I don't need him in my life."

"You're the Hyuga head now, a lot of people would be targeting you, and you need all the protection you can get." Hiro answered.

Hinata was too familiar with these scene. The side branch hording her, Hiro walking her to her destination as she secretly told guards to protect her. Once she even told them to follow Hinata secretly so she would be guarded 24/7. Hiro of course forgot that Hinata was a ninja with one most brilliant byakugan eyes to sense them.

"He made a new world." Hinata started causing Hiro to turn, "Everyone was fighting and fighting to find peace but it never worked, but he created peace in a way for out Shinobi land to nice and smooth. So I can walk the streets of Konoha, my now safe homeland, without being attacked thanks to him."

The continued walking in silence, Everyone in the Leaf new she was in love with Naruto, Hinata even proclaimed her love to the Hyuga consul the day her father fell ill. It all started with a small admiration, then a small crush, then it blossomed into a love, that is hard to give up. Hinata might have shaken off her smile to gain seriousness before leaving the Hyuga compound, but she shaken off the memories of Naruto, the feeling she had for Naruto, or the way she made her cold heart feel.

"I'm not a child anymore Hiro, please say that you understand. I am a woman who can make her choses and speak up for what I believe in, he thought me that. Naruto taught me that." The moment she said Naruto, Hiro faced Hinata, but turned back quickly. "I believe that I can walk alone and still be safe."

Hiro nodded, "I understand."

They looked at each other as a sign of agreement, and walked the rest of the way with Hiro explaining Hinata's schedule.

After saying those words Hinata found a piece to the puzzle called her life. She realized that Naruto gave her peace, the peace to talk to Hiro with confidence, to say what she thought was right.

"If I have that peace, then I could have the peace to not feel at ease with this meeting then." Hinata thought to herself which gave her a small tinker of warmth to her warm heart for all the improvement she made.

Hinata may not be nervous anymore, and may be forgetting the cold in heart for a while, but the guilt and discomfort would surely creep up on her soon.
