A beautiful tragedy, which can only be recognized once it has been lost, it is Love.
She was crazy about him, cared so much she couldn't help it. In the beginning, it was just a spark of interest, the curiosity of a child. Why did everyone look at him like that? Why did they avoid him like the plague? Why was he treated like an animal? They all saw him with those blizzering eyes, as if he should have never existed. But...why? What was so special, extraordinary, strange, about this boy that drove adults to behave in such an inhumane manner? She was curious, so much it drove her nuts. Her head couldn't make sense of it, no one would tell her, they simply shushed her and hurried away- Far from that strange boy. Therefore, it was no surprise when she decided to find out why.
It was terribly humid and dark, the silhouettes from the tree's fell on the lightly wet green grass. From above, the glowing moon revealed hidden trails within the thick forest. Crickets played their melody while the birds slept in their bundled nests. This was the time, she decided. Hinata snuk from her bedroom as quietly as she could, tip-toeing until she reached the outside of Hyuga property. Running through the forest she came to recognize, the child couldn't contain the excitement within, her little body incapable of sealing it. Her gut hurried her as she turned towards the boy's house. A little peek. That's all I need. She thought, unaware of her true intentions.
The forest came to an abrupt end, just a few blocks away rested the strange boy's house. Hinata took one step out when she heard it behind her. A scream. A terribly loud scream. She immediately felt chills up her spine and neck. Who...what was that? Her mind already began questioning, analyzing her situation. Should I go check? What if someone's in trouble? But, I'm so close...She was confused, her mind urging her towards the shriek, her gut the other way.
Hinata was already heading towards it before she even knew it. Fast, incredibly fast, almost flying, her feet barely touched the floor, for only a fraction of a second they would connect, the next they would both be off the ground. The pattern continued until she reached it.
It's him. W-What's he doing here? In the middle of the forest?
The boy was clenching his throat hard with both hands. His eyes engulfed in tears, his body twisting on the forest floor. What's wrong with him?! Hinata quickly rushed to his side, confused as what to do. Another horrified shriek left his mouth. She worried, crouched down next to him.
"Hey what's wrong?! Why are you here?" She asked, looking into his glossy eyes.
"T-the...m-moon..." he barely managed to whisper two single words. "G-go...away" another two were managed. "O-or you'll get hurt." The last sentence was fluent and menacing. Hurt? He's in pain, and he's worried about her? Besides what's wrong with the- Hinata gazed up, she hadn't noticed when the moon began to darken. An eclipse?! Is that why? No way would she leave him now, this was way too interesting. Is this why? This is the cause for all his pain? She brought her eyes back to the boy, who seemed to go crazier by the minute.
"How can I help?"
"Y-you...can't..." he wheezed out. Of course I can. She began to wonder, if the eclipse was doing this...would knocking him unconscious, eliminate the pain? She knew how to paralyze pain, advert it from reaching the victim's' points. But, of course, it was an ancient secret technique. Then again, no one knew her location, therefore, in a way, it was secret. Okay I'll do it.
"I apologize, you might feel some tingling and sudden acute pain, though it is temporary, and nothing compared to what you're currently going through..." the boy didn't respond, he seemed extremely worn out. Okay. Hinata formed a hand sign and activated her byakugan.
It happened all too fast. In a flash, the boy pounced her, pinning her down with both hands. What is he doing? Her eyes opened from the hard impact, they searched for answers in his. That's when she saw for the first time, the eyes of a beast. They glowed blood red, his teeth too, grew sharper and longer. His whiskered birth marks, included, increased in shape. What is he? "Ghaa!" His whole body weight tumbled on hers. I don't...what's happening? She shoved his cold body to the side, is he alive? Hinata buried her ear in his chest. B-dump. B-dump. Still beating. He's alive. Getting up, Hinata wondered. What now? Should I take him home? I can't take him with me...father would get angry. She sighed. I'm already in too deep. Hinata took his hand and pulled it across the back of her shoulder and over her neck, she did the same with the other, and finally, pushed his body up. He's light..?
Somehow, she managed to bring him to his bed. Safe and sound...well more or less. The sun will rise soon, I should go now. Hinata stood next to him, observed his body. He's kinda cute...hmmm. She sat down, looked at his face, it seemed more relaxed, at ease. Is it over now? She rested her chin on the bed, kept looking at his blonde hair, his soft blushed cheeks, his plump small lips, and squared jawline.
"Who are...you?" His eyes were wide open. Since when was he-!? The boy blinked and once he did she had disappeared.
Gooshhh! That was too close! Outside his window, Hinata decided it was time to head home. Until next time, Naruto-kun. I have way too many questions to leave you alone just yet...
