(Flashback)
"Hinata-chi!" cried a scared voice.
"Gaara-kachi?" Hinata asked and looked around the sand village.
Hinata had to sneak out of the Leaf Village just to see her best friend again. None other than the red-head jinchuuriki, named Sabaku No Gaara. Hinata has been friends with him ever since they first met when Gaara's father was visiting the Hyuuga home. Not for marriage, but there was a Ball and Gaara was surprisingly invited. Ever since Hinata talked to Gaara, she began to sneak out of the village to see him at the age of eight, after her father cancelled her training.
"Gaara-kachi! Where are you?" Hinata shouted out his nickname that she called him by.
"Right here!" Gaara screamed.
As Hinata turned around, her eyes widened. Gaara was being picked on by other kids again. Hinata already knew about Gaara's Biju and knows that he doesn't want to kill anyone, even if the Shukaku forces him. There was one thing that Hinata hates more than the Shukaku forcing Gaara into things, and that was Gaara getting picked on.
"Hey you!" the nine-year-old Hinata shouted at them.
"What the hell do you want?" a boy shouted back at her.
Hinata ran up to Gaara's side and took his hand. She stood in front of him as the bullies watched in disgust. Gaara was now behind Hinata, holding onto her black and white kimono.
"Ha! You get help from a girl? How weak!" the boy laughed.
"And she's from the Leaf Village! She's definitely weak!" laughed the other boy.
Lesson One in Hinata's Corner: Never underestimate Hinata Hyuuga.
"Hinata-chi?" Gaara whispered, making sure that no one but Hinata heard him.
"You have an extra rose, Gaara-kachi?" Hinata asked him quietly.
Gaara looked over at Hinata confused but remembered a red rose that Hinata had gave him the other day. Gaara searched into his shirt pocket and pulled out the rose. He secretly gave it to Hinata while the two boys were getting cocky.
Lesson Two in Hinata's Corner: Never get cocky with Hinata Hyuuga.
Hinata put the rose in front of the boys and they began to laugh harder. Gaara was even more confused because he doesn't know what Hinata's going to do with it.
"A rose!?" the boy laughed harder.
"What a joke!" laughed the other.
Hinata was furious now. They may not know lesson's one or two but there's one lesson that EVERYONE in the Sand Village should know.
Lesson Three in Hinata's Corner: Never insult the Black Rose.
With Hinata's aura, she turned the rose black and disappeared with Gaara. She reappeared with him on top of a tree and looked down at the laughing fools.
"Hey! If you're done laughing, why not look down amateurs?" Hinata spat in a furious tone.
The boys stopped laughing and looked down. Now they were screaming, for their feet were chained to the ground. Although, this wasn't any ordinary chain, this one was as black as midnight, as black as the darkness…
As black as her rose.
Now Gaara got what Hinata was doing. Hinata wanted his rose so she could turn it black and trap the bullies in her jutsu. Not a genjutsu, her regular everyday jutsu. It was called, Black Rose Chains, when Hinata uses her black rose to control her chains. Gaara smiled at her.
She never ceases to amaze me, Gaara thought.
"Let's go Gaara-kachi! Ice cream's on me!" Hinata stated, using her smile.
"Okay" Gaara said shyly, flushing a little pink at Hinata's smile.
Hinata grabbed Gaara's hand and left the two bullies stuck to the ground for a while. When they were screaming at Hinata, Hinata turned around, her eyes pitch black. She was staring at them long and hard, enough to burn a whole through their eyes. They stopped staring and Hinata mouthed a message to them, which made both of them shudder. That message ran through their minds like a marathon.
Never mess with the Darkness.
