The Fall of Hyuuga
Chapter 1- House of Cards
Neji sat, shikamaru at his side, both in silence. Neji's mind weighed heavy...
"So Hinata is getting married? She seems so young..." Shikamaru pulled Neji from his thoughts.
"Yeah..." Neji couldn't get over the fact that she WAS so young, younger than him. She was in the head family, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise that since she hadn't found a husband and carried on the bloodline limit, the day of her eighteenth birthday, the Hyuuga family had found one for her.
"Seems way too troublesome..." Shikamaru lazily commented.
"That comes with being in the head family." Neji replied.
Hinata Hyuuga's weeding was the event of Konoha, her and her sheepish smile were the envy of alot of Konoha women.
Yet as the eve of her honeymoon fell, the Hyuuga clan's future was about to change.
Neji awoke to a weak banging on his door. "Neji!! Neji!!" the distressed voice called out. Neji wrapped himself in a white robe and answered the door.
His uncle, Hinata's father, was leaning against the door frame,
he was soaked in his own blood. "Assassins against the house of Hyuuga!" he coughed out, "everyone from the main house is dead"
He collapsed into Neji's arms, he checked for a pulse but found none.
Many thoughts rushed into the young ninjas mind..."Byakugan!" Neji shouted as he rushed to the main house.
The smell of iron filled the night air as Neji entered the house, the blood seemed to cover the floor like a dark crimson blanket. He rushed to his cousin's bedroom..."surely..." he dared to think to himself.
The horrified look Neji tried to hide in his eyes were the only signs of emotion on his otherwise stoic face. The blushing bride and her groom lie motionless on the bed. He hurried to Hinata's side, his eyes now showing the hidden fear. She and her new husband were slaughtered in their sleep, no sign of struggle. "They had no warning" Neji's mind deciphered.
Neji cradled Hinata in an uncharacteristic embrace, he whispered a prayer underneath his breath and placed her beside her companion.
"Knock knock knock..." fell heavily upon Tsunade's door, she moved to answer it, still rubbing her eyes.
"It's four o'clock in the morning Neji...what do you want? Her eyes began to adjust... "Why are you covered in blood?!"
A/N- Yeah I know it's a short chapter, just wanted everyone to get a feel for whats to come (tehe, you'll soon be addicted to the story of my dear lil Neji)
