Eyes opened

Chapter 1: The letter

The sun was slowly making it's way below the horizon. Some of it's last rays shone upon the
village of Konoha.

A brown haired youth made his way through the large Hyuuga Manor. The Konoha symbol on
his forehead protector showed that he was one of the proud ninjas in the hidden village.
As he walked past two other Hyuuga, he couldn't avoid hearing what they were walking about.

"It's incredible! He actually became a Jounin!" One of them whispered.
"I know! A Jounin BEFORE his 19th birthday! Incredible!" The other whispered.

Hyuuga Neji sighed. The one part he actually hated about being the Hyuuga genius was the
never-ending flow of praises. Neji opened the mental door in his mind and kicked what he had just
heard right out. He always did this. (Man….I really need to relax. Maybe a shower will do the trick.
I do need one….especially after my mission.) Neji thought. His mind drifted to something that made
him smile slightly. (I wonder how much she has missed me? As much as I have missed her? More?
It doesn't matter. I'll go visit her as soon as I have had a shower. Hinata is bound to find out about
my return shortly.) Neji thought. The mere thought of seeing his girlfriend again after three days of
absence was enough to make his heart beat faster.

Hyuuga Hiashi was sitting in his room by himself. He was currently looking through the reports from
different parts of the Hyuuga Manor. Paperwork was something that came with his position.
Being the head of the Hyuuga Clan was never easy. Never. But Hiashi never complained. He had a duty
to his clan, and he kept that duty. Hiashi shifted the pack of papers that was currently in his hands and
a small envelope fell out of it. Hiashi picked it up and looked at it. (Now that's strange. It's completely blank.
But I can feel that there is something in it.) The Hyuuga Clan head turned it in his hands and opened it.
After reading only the first sentence, his eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.
Sweat started pouring down his temples. (T, this can't be……this…..this can't be happening!) Hiashi thought.

His work forgotten, he stormed out of the room.
Hiashi quickly called one of the clan members over as he made his way through the Manor.

"What is the matter, Hiashi-sama?" The clan member asked.

Hiashi roughly handed over the letter and sped up his pace.

The servant read it quickly, his reaction was equal to Hiashi´s.

"H, Hiashi-sama….! T, this is terrible! How could they kidnap Hinata-sama?" The clan member said, appalled.

Hiashi quickly shushed him. He was so worried about his daughter that he was on the brink of going stark mad!

"Get all of the Hyuuga Shinobi out there on the double! I myself will go there right now, as it was stated
in the letter. Oh, and don't tell Hanabi about this. She doesn't need to know right now. She would only
worry and do something rash!" Hiashi said.

Hiashi broke into a run. He had left the Manor in a matter of seconds.

The clan member bowed quickly, then he broke off into a run. He ran into the deeper part of the
Hyuuga Manor, yelling at the other clan members to gather their ninja.

Little did they know, the one brown haired girl who wasn't supposed to know about the incident,
had in fact been eavesdropping on their entire conversation. A habit she had picked up from her boyfriend
as of late. Her white eyes were wide with surprise and confusion. (Neesan has been...! This can't be!
Who would do this to you!? What should I do? What can I do? Come on, Hanabi! Think!)
The girl pondered furiously.
A bell chime went off in her head. (That's it!) She thought in triumph. And then she quickly dashed off.

Neji continued walking until he finally reached his destination. His bedroom. Neji slid the door open
and stepped inside. Just as he was going to shut the door behind him, a small foot planted itself in
the doorway. Neji didn't have to turn around to see who it was. His Byakugan made up for that.
He sighed.

"What do you want? I thought I said that I did not want to be disturbed. I just came back from a B-Rank
mission, and it wasn't pretty. So Hanabi. What did you want?" Neji asked coldly.

The Hyuuga prodigy was surprised to say the least when the four years younger girl didn't do or
say anything nasty back at him.

She wasn't that fond of her cousin and she was usually very generous with announcing it.
But for some reason, she kept quiet. In fact, Hanabi looked VERY alarmed. Neji couldn't help
but feel uneasy.

"Neji! It's terrible!!! Father just got a letter that said…!" Hanabi almost yelled.

Neji turned around. There was this nagging feeling in the back of his head that told him
that whatever it was couldn't be good.

"Hinata has……been kidnapped!!!" Hanabi finally got out.

Neji´s eyes went wide and a big block of ice dropped into his stomach.

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!"

I won't apologize, simply because I've run out of excuses. Yes, I went into a major Writer's Block, or WB for short,
and yes, I know that I told you all that I wouldn't go into another. But yes. The unthinkable happened.
My archenemy, WB, struck again. He got in a really good hit too. Though he left me alive.
The fool never knew what hit him.

Anyway, what I'm doing right now, is that I'm re-writing a few parts of this fic, simply because I re-read it a while ago
and went like: "What? You mean to tell me that I actually wrote that?" . There were some parts I didn't like anymore.
Like the fact that I made Hanabi WAY too sensitive and WAAAY too wimpy. In my mind, Hanabi is kick-ASS!
I changed a few other things as well, so let me know how you liked/disliked the changes, okay?
I will be re-submitting the second chapter in about a minute, so stay tuned.

Also, I'm done with about 3/4 of the third chapter, so expect that to be out some time this evening.
Untill then, bye!
