Gentle Avenger
(WARNING: SasuHina fic. Don't like, don't read. That is all.)
It was raining.
This wasn't calm rain; it was the kind of rain that falls very hard and makes you feel depressed.
This was the anniversary of Hinata Hyuuga's cousin, Neji's, death.
The clock ticked eleven o'clock at night.
The exact same hour that she had watched Neji die right in front of her.
If only I had accepted… She thought, watching the rain fall down in hard clumps.
She had declined in accepting the Hyuuga title. As her father, Hiashi, was about to hit her, Neji intervened.
"If she doesn't want the title, uncle, then let her be." He stated calmly.
"She will accept the title, no matter what she wants!" He said furiously, activating Neji's Branch Mark.
"Run, cousin!" He shouted, barely managing to hold his screams of pain back.
She ran. And ran. She ran until her legs could barely stand the pain, and eventually ended up in the Hoshigakure.
She'd been living there for the past three years. Eventually, she had met a girl about her age called Asuka; Asuka's cousin, Maruya; and their friend, Lili. Eventually, they had become the best of friends.
The Hoshikage called her into her office one day.
"Hinata, I want you to travel to Konohagakure to ask the Hokage, Tsunade, to form a pact with us." She had stated simply.
"Why?" She had asked.
"Because we need to become recognised as a Hidden Village."
"…Hai, Hoshikage-sama." She had reluctantly agreed.
The four of them (Asuka, Maruya, Lili, Hinata) had cried their hearts out on the day she had to leave.
That was three years ago. But now, she was home.
Kami-sama, help me. She sighed.
I'll upload more if you like it so far. Sorry there's no SasuHina yet... maybe in chapter three. Chapter two is going to be in Sasuke's chapter, and I'll be uploading that as soon as I can (If you like it). Please Rate & Review!
