Prologue: What destiny can bring

"Are you sure about this," asked a wary voice, slightly annoyed.

The man just appears at their door step for the first time in five years and asks us to look after his baby just because their company can't afford to have a weak child as their heiress? That's nonsense!

"Are you willing to do this just for your company's sake?" Fugaku asked once more.

"I am positive." Hiashi answered sternly, forcing the baby into Fugaku's arms.

"You are still cold as ever my old friend. I never understood your ways," Fugaku said while glaring, as if to bore a hole into Hiashi's face.

"I am warning you one last time. Are you sure you won't regret this? Are you sure?" Fugaku said, with a slightly worried voice, his glare deepening.

Hiashi glared back at him, his silver eyes threatening in the moonlight.

"If you don't want the baby, throw it away then."

Then, without looking back, he walked away into the dark leaving his baby in the hands of the Uchiha.

Uchiha Fugaku stood outside his compound, feeling as if the darkness engulfed him. He cursed loudly and looked down at the wrapped bundle in his arms.

Hinata…

The baby slept soundly, not knowing her new life ahead of her…

--

…Uchiha Hinata…

The youngest and the outcast her family.

While all her other family members had beautiful, black orbs and hair,

She had lavender tinted white eyes and midnight blue hair.

Also, was the ugly duckling out of her family.

Their flawless skin and confidence completely shamed her pale skin, and shy nature.

She had nothing to show off as an Uchiha.

Yet her mother, Uchiha Mikoto never ended her praise about her long silky hair.

Hinata, embarrassed by her mother's comments, always had her hair cut short until the age of 12.

When she turned 10, she decided to grow her hair to impress a single blond boy in her class. By 13 years of age, her hair was long enough to tie up. Mikoto noticed this and came into her room one day.

"Hinata, as it is Uchiha tradition to tie up your hair until adulthood, I am going to tie your hair up. Is that okay?" Mikoto asked kindly.

Hinata nodded quickly.

She would never argue with her reasonable mother OR the Uchiha traditions.

Mikoto then sat next to Hinata and started to twirl her hair around to make a perfect bun. It was silent between them for a while. Hinata couldn't control herself and blurted out, "A-a-ano… O-o-kaasan, why do all U-u-uchiha females tie their h-h-hair up and never l-l-let their h-h-hair out?"

She always wondered about the Uchiha female's hair.

She is a curious one. I bet she will grow up to become more beautiful then any other. We are lucky to have her as a family… Mikoto thought as she saw the brightness in Hinata's eyes and smiled.

Hinata blushed, not knowing the reason of her mother's laughter.

"It is the Uchiha tradition to only let your hair down for the one you truly love," She said, with a cheerily smile.

"There is a legend that if the Uchiha female lets down her hair, before marriage, that the first man who sees her hair down will immediately fall in love." She said.

That wasn't a surprise to Hinata since all Uchiha (Excluding herself) were extraordinarily exquisite in looks.

"S-s-so is that w-what happened b-between you and father? S-s-since you w-weren't a Uchiha b-b-before you married father. Y-you know, y-you were n-named Uchiha b-because you g-g-got married…" She trailed off as she heard how stupid she sounded.

She blushed even more when Mikoto started to have a giggling fit.

"Hi…Hi..nata….giggle! You…giggle always make me laugh," She said, laughing in between her sentence.

"But, you are quite correct. Your father fell in love with me and I too fell for him as soon as we saw each other. It was quite unique and to think about it. It was like destiny." She said still smiling warmly.

Hinata realized that, every time Mikoto talked about Fugaku, it was as if she was under a spell.

True love is surly amazing. How much wonderful gifts destiny can bring to a person… Hinata mused while watching her mother dream on about her father.

I wonder who my destiny will lead me to… She thought and blushed a darker shade of red, when Naruto came to her mind.
