CHATER 1: Memories

1. I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

My scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel…

Looking up into the grey never ending sky little droplets of rain dared to part with its maker as they hit the face of ivory skin of a stranger, to a city where the foreigner began.

Motionless lying on the floor of the tall Hospital building roof, unfazed as the rain poured harder demanding independence as if desperate to part and escape like a child from its mother at birth. Slowly closing both eyes at the soothing sensation of rain on skin gasps and yelling of surprise could be herd around the city from the sudden strong pouring of rain. While consuming the stranger, slight parting of tinted lips was made, as mumbling of words rushed out with the exhale, which then was carried by the winds to the crying heavens above that do not hear us.

"Oka-san…" 'I miss you…'

2. When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you…

Flashback:

Soft melody could be heard from afar echoing in the corridors of the main Hyuuga house. A mother and a daughter sat on a piano chair playing a soft but a sad melody in the corner of the room. The child reaching for the piano keys, softly pressing on them with her tiny fingers as her mother showed her. Suns arrows beam through the large open window brightening the room with the soft lights of dusk as the wind soothingly tugged the curtains.

"You are doing well Hinata, you are a fast learner" said a gentle loving voice, smiling tenderly while looking down on her three years old daughter.

Looking up timidly Hinata gave a shy smile from the praise she was given as it was very rare that she ever got any especially from her father who only scolded her.

"Hai" Hinata said with a little nod.

Hinata was a weak and timid child who avoided any means of violence. She wasn't physically strong and had a quite weak body but her intelligence made up for it. Hinata was a very bright and insightful child, more so than any child her age, which was the only thing Hiashi was proud of but never voiced it as it wasn't enough, never good enough as strength depicts the winner and a true shinobi in combat. She was a kind soul, which Michiru knew one day would be broken by this house hold, by the laws and the ways of the Hyuuga.

Smiling weakly a sad smile and staring into space, a smile, which Hinata didn't understand. As it never reached her eyes, couldn't hide the hollowness in her mother's pearl eyes. A smile she didn't understand yet but will come to know only too well, as she couldn't help to recognise them every time when she walks by or is greeted by the people in the compound.

Feeling watched she came out of the trance she was in and looked down to see curious eyes staring back. She patted her child's head and crushed her into a tight desperate embrace while silently prayed for her child's safety and happiness but knowing full well deep in her heart that it was in vain.

Michiru played the piano as Hinata played along the tune she learned, it was suppose to be played with both hands but Michiru played one part with her right hand as Hinata did the other with her own. Music was something that could sooth ones pain or forget about it even if it was only for a little while, make people smile, bring happiness and most of all bring people together.

After the tune has ended Hinata felt proud of herself as she played her whole part without any mistakes. Michiru and Hinata both looked at each other with bright smiles and Hinata jumped tugging her mother. Soft giggles and laughs could have been heard down the hall of many corridors in the Hyuuga estate.

"Oka-san, what is the melody called?": a question asked by an innocent child echoed in Hinata's head as she laid motionless.

End of Flashback:

"…Death of Neptune"

3. You always reached out to me and
helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody…

"Dialog…" – dialog

'Thoughts' – thoughts and feelings

Lyrics – lyrics

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Michiru - is the name I gave Hinatas mother, it means 'Rise'. I thought it would be cool to give her a name keeping to the theme of Hyuuga, which means 'Towards the sun'. Also I always liked that name starting from the first time I herd it in Sailor Moon anime series. Michiru in Sailor Moon is Neptune! She's very cool and is how I picture Hinatas mother. Look her up, she's very pretty. I'm also going to stick to a slight theme of water as Hinata in the fillers was shown to use water to improve her techniques.

Hinata means 'A sunny place' if anyone wondered :D

Death of Neptune - There is actually a melody called 'death of Neptune' at least it's how I think it's called. It's from Sailor moon, very sad but great melody which I love and advise you to look it up. :D

The song lyrics used in this chapter were:

1. 'Papa Roach – Scars'

2. 'Avril Lavigne – When you're gone'

3. 'Creed – Stand here with me'

All of these songs are awesome and I recommend u to listen to them :D
