Hello it's me :/ to the few of you who read my old story..yes I got rid of it. I lost some interest in it and began to go off track of the actual plot intended. My friends noticed and so did some reviewers, so I just thought that instead of going back and editing the whole thing, I would just scrap it and start another one so here it is and hopefully I get this one right.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Between Love, Lies and What is Right
Chapter 1
Hinata's PoV:
It was a cool sunny breezy day, I was off of missions for a bit seeing as they didn't need me right now. With nothing to do I decided to stroll down the park that was boomimg with the boisterous laughter from the children and the idle chit chat the mothers would share with each other. I continued walking until I stopped in the middle of a bridge that hovered over the little stream that led into a big pond. I crossed my arms on the railing and rested my head. I looked into the water only to see my reflection in the waters slow ripples. I let out a tired sigh. Things have changed so quickly that I still haven't had enough time to be accustomed to it. I'm Hinata Hyuga, I'm a twenty-year old chunin, I've been disowned from Hyuga clan and relinquished my title as heiress, I live on my own in a affordable apartment, I was rejected by Naruto who later got together with Sakura, and my team disbanded. How wonderful right? But being me I would always hide what I feel and keep my thoughts to myself, I didn't feel like I needed anyone's help or pity. Those make me feel weak...if only they knew.
After the war and Naruto's rejection I fell in a dark place although I'm glad that Neji was saved. In the end it didn't matter how hard I tried or how hard I pushed myself to be known, I was always in the dark, in the background of everything. That's when I decided to change myself but keep who I was in touch. I had secretly dedicated myself to hard work and training through the past four years and it paid off as well. Although to everyone else I was the weak chunin, but I had actually made it to Anbu captain and I was an unstoppable foe. By the hokage's order that was supposed to be kept a secret from every other ninja to avoid information about me being leaked. My father doesn't even know and I bet he wouldn't care too, he has been investing almost all of his time with the two Hyuga prodigies, Hanabi and Neji. So that's pretty much it.
I left the park and made my way over to Ino's flower shop to look at the new dahlia flowers that were supposed to be coming in today. As I pushed the door open the jingling of bells could be heard alerting Ino I had arrived. I walked up to the counter and greeted her as I always did, and By the way did I mention I outgrew my stutter?. "Hello Ino-chan, how is buisness going? Did the flowers come in yet?" Her aqua colored eyes looked so vibrant, along with her pale blonde hair she grew out. She always looked so full of energy and proud when it came to talking to people. She smiled at me and answered, "Hey Hinata-chan! The store is doing so wonderful and yes the flowers came and sold out almost instantly." My face had dropped when I heard this, I really needed those flowers they were for someone very special. Ino took noticed and poked my ribs as she continued, "But since I knew you were looking forward to them I set a bouquet aside for you to take." I looked up and smiled brightly. "Thank you Ino-chan, these are very important to me, I owe you one." She came closer and hugged me, "Don't worry about it, I know." After I paid for them and said our goodbyes, I headed towards the cemetery. Completely lost in thought as I turned the corner of the street many ninjas were about to crash into me as they rushed to get somewhere and they couldn't stop. Being the Ninja that I am, I easily sidestepped them avoiding getting trampled on and my flowers ruined... that is until the person that was walking in the same direction I sidestepped too,bumped into me knocking the flowers out of my grasp. I watched them fall as the petals lingered in the air and then hit the ground. They were all ruined except for one. I crouched down and picked it up. I looked up to the person who simply walked away angrily telling me, "Watch where you're going!?" It was Sasuke Uchiha.
I could care less about what he said to me, he destroyed my flowers. My mother's flowers. As I arrived at her graved I gently got on my knees and placed the flower delicately on her tombstone. "Hello Okaa-san I brought you a flower though most of them were ruined but I managed to save this one especially for you..." I paused and lowered my head so that my bangs can cover my pain filled eyes, "I miss you." Was the last thing I said before I left. I walked and walked not really having a purpose to actually get somewhere. That's when I ran into konoha's number one couple Naruto and Sakura.
"Heyy Hinata-chan how are you doing?" Sakura said while latching onto Naruto's arm. An akward feeling lingered in the air like a bad odor. "Hello Sakura-san Naruto-san, I'm fine just walking about in the village. What about you two? How are things?" I replied. "Were doing great. We're planning on moving in together this weekend so I'll be having a house welcoming party. Would yoy like to come?" She was so eager while Naruto only scratched the back of his head and smiled. My affection for him was long gone by now but still that feeling of being rejected for someone else who didn't appreciate you hurt. "I would love to, but I can't say I will make it I wont know if I will be away on a mission by then." I said. "That's true hopefully you can make it I cant wait!" And with that Sakura and Naruto left to look at some decor for their new home together. I lugged myself back to my cozy home, sun was already setting as I entered the living room I felt their presence. I ignored it and went to lay down lazily. "What the mission Kitsune? By the way you, Kuma, and Suzume need to work on your stealth it's lagging." I calmly said. They scratched their heads and some cleared their throats. "Uhh.. sorry. Lady Neko this mission was selected specifically for you to do on your own no details were given to us but one message...The fifth has requested your prescence as soon as we tell you this." Kitsune said. I got up and they excused themselves. I changed into my skinny black pants, my turtle neck crop top with a mask,that covers my mouth and nose and two cutouts fom my upper torso and upper back. I also changed the bandages that cover all the around my back down to my waist, my fist to my elbows until it reached the end of the arm guards. Then I donned the gray armor, My hair was in pigtails and I at last put on my cat mask. Its sharp looking eyes surrounded by blue markings that looked made swiftly and perfectly, were so hypnotizing. Alluring yet dangerous. The change in color signified her Rank. After putting the finish touches to her weapons and espescially her all time favorite double blades, she set out to see the hokage. Just like that I was off to prowl for my prey in the dark.
Sasuke's PoV:
Damn it annoying ass people when will they ever learn to shutup. Ever since I came back four years ago and joined forces with the leaf has me wishing I did obliterate it after all. I'm Sasuke Uchiha.. what? What was that?..Oh so you wanna know something about me? Is that it?.. O well here let me tell you something.. TOO FUCKING BAD!...anyways there's not much to know. I grew up as the angry boy filled with a desire for revenge and led to many wreckless and destructive disasters. Then he realized an epiphany and seeks to live on for the Uchiha clan and fufill some of his dead brother Itachi's wishes. Then again I was all that bad I'm not changing just adding some new things to do. Today in particular was very bad being dragged around by my best friend and his slutty girlfriend sure ruined my day. We were out shopping for some new decorations for his and Sakura's new home. I didn't want to go but they insisted that I go out and get some fresh air.
We went from store to store and so far I've realized Sakura has an expensive taste. She would not get anything but the best. I hate stupid women like that. They only seek status and wealth, how could this idiot fall for that. As we entered and exited more stores I finally reached my breaking point. "Fuck this. I'm leaving." I turned around and started to walk away when he yelled, "Teme that's onlu the fourth store we've been too!" "I don't care!" I replied.
I walked down and left to right of the streets of village. I was already out and I didn't feel like goimg back home, so I might as well get some grocery shopping done. I entered the stores and casually browsed about. Nothing really called out to me l, I left empty handed. I entered other markets and searched through their inventory. Things have changed a lot since the war. I became a jonin automatically even though technically they forced me to be one if I wanted to save my ass. They appreciated my help but I guess not enough to let me off the hook. I know my power exceeds that of a jonin but they don't quite trust me to be anbu. I left the market I was currently in, again with my hands free of bags. I guess I will just go home. I walked down the bustling streets once again, there were these little kids playing tag or fucking just being stupid, but one of them crashed into my leg, fell and started to wail. "Shutup. Maybe if you quit running then maybe you wouldn't haven fallen brat." As I finished saying that, everyone just looked at me like I murder the twerp and he even stopped crying just to look at me. I just continued walking. Then a group of ninjas ran past me heading towards the hokage's mansion. Then I saw a Hyuga carrying some flowers. What was her name? Hana-hari-? Oh wait Hinata. The Hyuga clans heiress. She had matured a lot..faster than most of the girls. She had curves, plump breasts, long slim legs, Pale eyes with a soft tint of purple and a well toned body structure. Yet she's just another girl, nothing special. The ninjas were about to crash into her, but in one swift movement she step aside and then we both crashed.. more like my stiff 6'2 muscled body made her small 5`5 be pushed back a bit while the flowers in her hand destroyed. One of them though looked better than rest. She bent down to pick it up. Why care for such a useless thing. "Watch where you're going!?" I said rather harsly as I walked away from her.
Once I arrived home, I walked to my room to get my sleepwear since I'm worn out from today. I walked to the shower and cleaned up before I did. Now fully dressed I walked to the kitchen and poured my self a cup of tomato juice. This shits good. I chugged the beverage down and walked into my room after I washed the cup and set it back in its place. I stood by my window looking out. The sun had long gone almost all the way down. All you could was the sky ominously shadow over, darkness about to overcome it only showing the red faint glow of the sun. It was a hopeful yet sad sight for the upcoming day. I moved away and laid on my bed. I stared at the ceiling for quite some time until I picked up on a strong chakra signature. I sat up and looked out my window looking to see if I could findit, but no it already passed my home. I quickly changed and se out after it. Maybe I could test my power against them. They could be a worthy opponent who knows. I dressed in black shorts and black short sleeved top with my crest emblem on my back. I put my sandals on and pursued the person. I felt them stop in the middle of the forest clearing. I loked all over the place the chakra signature is here.
"You look lost maybe I could help you find what your looking for." The voice of a women said. I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw an anbu. This one was different. She was a woman with a cat mask in blue design. Apparently the color determines your rank but I don't remember what they are. Either way I could tell she was strong.
"Hn." I glared at her but I stood in place I did not move a single muscle.
"No. Then I'll be on my way. It will become a problem if we keep running into each other." She said and vanished.
"Hn." I have a feeling we'll keep seeing each other pretty soon. Then I left as well, back to my estate.
That's it. :/
