Part 1: The Mountain
A/N: Yes, a reposting. Yes, a new start here. It was written on my phone, on the bus ride home, in-between bouts of figuring my style of writing out.
WARNING: Chapters start short, but will become progressily longer.
So this is a story which will be infrequently updated as the school-wide NaNoWriMo looms over my head (only 40,000 more words to go... Sighs...), which somewhat chronicles Hinata's journey, as well as mine as a writer.
Enjoy the lack of author's notes from here on in. *bows*
I no own anything you recognize.
He sits on the edge of the Hokage monument, his normally messy blond hair flattened by the violent gusts that often brush the Yondaime's rocky head. He cries into the wind, but no one seems to hear him or see him.
There is one who watches him mourn, who he cannot see, poised on a tree. The stranger has purple-violet eyes and long black hair that whips about. She knows why he cries and wants to comfort him, but is afraid of his reaction.
Below them, in the valley, are the smoking ruins of a village. It was once known as Kohona, before Pein came along and decided to eradicate it.
The girl up in the sakura tree mourns for the boy she loves, while he sheds tears over the place they once called home. She continues to watch small tears leak down to his whiskered face before they are blown away by the wind.
Her name, for all who haven't guessed yet, is Hinata Hyyuga, the heir to the Hyyuga fortune and clan. She knows that she will one day have responsibilities beyond what she has been trained for in those tedious classes every night. She knows that one day she will be to hardened to love anyone. She knows that she loves one boy, the boy who jumps about in an atrocious orange jumpsuit. She knows why he cries. She knows that she dares not to approach him, for who knows what her parents would do if they found out she was in a serious relationship with a demon?
So, with the boy who thinks he's all alone on the Hokage monument, she cries, even though it's for a different reason.
She cries because she is impacted by his sadness, because she has no hope with him, because she knows that he will one day leave her behind as her mind and heart hardens.
The boy up on the monument weeps for his village, and the girl in the Sakura tree cries because of the hope she has lost, while the wind expresses its sadness at both of their losses.
