Flowers for Hinata

Author's Note: The title is after the story Flowers for Algernon, which I have not read in years, but the story named itself in my mind. The plot came from a "what if" idea. The format created itself in my thoughts. The beginning chapters, or "Letters" rather, are short due to the way the plot is. As the story goes on, and people have more time, the letters become longer, but sometimes become short again as fits the plot. Well, please enjoy this little experiment of a story.


Letter One

Hyuuga Hinata to Hyuuga Hanabi

My dear sister,

I regret that it took me so long to reply, but I was held up in the hospital as a result of the Preliminary Fights before Part Three of the Chuunin Exams. As of yet, I am unable to write an entire correspondence. I was quite lucky that a friend of mine obliged when I asked a favor of following my dictation.

Do not worry about me. I have confidence in a quick recovery. I spent a week in sleep, which was a good length of time to recover.

Concentrate on your studies and be well.

I shall be seeing you soon.

Your affectionate sister,

Hinata
