Monotonous circumstances

Chapter 1

By Gaahina chan

He stood outside in the pouring rain. He didn't care if he got sick. All he wanted to do was stay there and be the one that faced everything she suffered. He heard how the man yelled at the little, pleading creature kneeling in front of him. He saw how her pearl eyes shed tears and how he would say that she was a failure. She would feel her heart breaking and she would stay silent, receiving all those hard punches to her soul. Yeah he heard that many times, and didn't know when it would stop.

Neji didn't know that his question would be answered that night.

-o-

She stood in front of the mirror. The reflection showed a small girl crying, holding her hands in a defensive manner, shaking, but not from cold. She stared for some minutes until she activated her byakugan. Everything was silent, no one would see, no one would care. She went to her closet and grabbed some black pants and a blue navy blouse. As she changed her clothes she cleaned the blood from her limbs, the blood that flowed because of her father's punishments. She finished putting a white jacket that reached her waist. She once more looked at the mirror. With a final change, she grabbed a kunai and cut her hair to the length of her shoulders.

Before jumping out of her window, she grabbed a backpack and putted some ointments and medicines, along with some food pills and other supplies. She left a note on her bed, it clearly said: Neji-niisan, I'm sorry. With a final glance at her room, she jumped out of the window and started running towards the other side of the town. She had to do something before she ran away, and that was visiting her all-time love.

-o-

He yawned and looked at his window. It was past 10 and all he could think of was that he was hungry. He went to his dresser and started changing. While slipping into his traditional black-orange jumpsuit, he noted a note left on his nightstand. He looked curiously at it until he opened the note.

Naruto-kun. I'm sorry for telling you this in this way but I couldn't say it to you in person because of my lack of courage. So please forgive me. I know this is sudden, but since the academy days, I've always liked you. I love you Naruto kun. You keep me up. You always gave that courage and determination to my eyes and heart. Still, you love Sakura san and I understand it. She has everything I don't and now I have to face the reality. I can't stand another day in this screwed up life so I have to go away. Please forgive me Naruto kun.

Forever… Hinata.

Naruto stared wide eyed at the letter. Was it true? All those years Hinata had loved him? And now she was gone? Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, but it was written. He had to prove it. Without any further hesitation, he ran to the Hyuuga manor. As he approached it, he saw Neji in the front door, along with other people. He saw Sakura and the other rookie. As he moved through the people, he reached the place where Neji stood. Naruto faced him and he could see in his eyes anger and sadness at the time. It was full and lively expressed in those white eyes that characterized him as a Hyuuga. Neji stared at Naruto like if everything was lost. It was as if all hope was left behind. Naruto felt a rush of pain move through his heart and soul. Why was everyone looking so depressed?

"Neji, where's Hinata?" Naruto asked turning serious and slightly nervous.

"She ran Naruto. She ran away from us…from him"

"Who?"

Neji pointed at the man in the front door. He was tall, with some harsh features and he looked like he was happy. In his side, he held the hand of a little girl with long black hair. Her eyes also where white.

"What's happening Neji? Why is everyone here? Who's that man?"

"He's Hiashi sama, Hinata's sama father. He looks happy because now that she's gone, he can make Hanabi heir of the clan. Hanabi is Hinata's sama little sister."

"Nani!! What is that suppose to mean? Hinata will not return? What about the letter and her?!!"

"What letter?" Neji asked with wide eyes.

"Hinata left a letter in my house. It said that she loves me"

"I see. So she also left you a letter. I don't know the Hyuuga clan anymore. Hinata sama can be anywhere now. I've got to find her." Neji said as he rushed to the side of the compound. Naruto followed him.

"Wait Neji! I'll help you. I want to find her. If what she wrote is true, I want to see her!"

"You idiot. Of course is true. But you were so dense that you didn't notice her. Everyone in town knew about her crush on you" Naruto stared at the Hyuuga member. He couldn't believe it. Why was he so stupid?

"If you want to go with me, meet me in the central gate in one hour. Prepare everything you need. If you don't appear, I'll go alone." Neji said before jumping through a window.

This was going way too fast.

-o-

Hinata ran through tall grass. It was hard to run in this environment so she decided to walk. Before continuing her traveling, she activated her byakugan. Seeing nothing, she started to walk. Everything she saw was grass and infinite grass. Where was she going? She didn't know. All she knew was that she had been running for one and a half days and that she was lost.

Well at least I don't have to bear all those screams…

She walked for some more hours until she smelled something. It was like a woody smell accompanied with humidity. In front of her she saw that the tall grass was replaced by a large earth land with some trees. Jumping from tree to tree, she sensed rain coming soon. She stopped and sat near a tree. As she unpacked her things, she made a genjutsu that blocked chakra. While she built her tent, she grabbed some food and started to eat. She didn't know what to do, or where she would go. When she ate the last part of her sandwich, she activated her byakugan, focusing more in farther locations. As she looked closer, she sensed something wrong. When she reached a point in the distance, it felt as if something blocked her chakra deactivating her byakugan.

"What was that? Maybe it was a barrier or something. Mmmh. I'll try another time."

When she focused more and more, she felt pain in her eyes and then it was gone. Her byakugan was another time blocked. "This is getting suspicious…who would put a barrier in the middle of an earth land". As if reading her thoughts, someone responded her question.

"Us, the Akatsuki"

In an instant, Hinata gasped and then it was all black.

-o-

"You ready?"

"Yeah dattebayo. Let's go!"

They ran at fast speed, careful for no one to see them. They knew that if they crossed the gates without permission, they would be known as missing nin "But this is for Hinata!" Naruto thought as he fastened his pace. Neji glanced at Naruto. He was determined to find Hinata. What they didn't know, was that they were getting into another problem.

-o-

She opened her eyes slowly only to see blackness. When she shifted her body, she felt a sharp rush of pain in her chest and then she winced. Bearing the pain, she stood up and activated her byakugan. When she looked at her surroundings, she found herself in a small room, with only a closed window and a wooden door. As she turned, she couldn't help but gasp at the sight of a man in the corner. She recognized him as Uchiha Itachi. His sharingan eyes that left her unconscious proved that. She looked at him, but not at his eyes. She knew that if she saw them, she would get into more trouble.

"You know my technique. Very well" he said as he approached her silently. Quickly, she took the gentle fist stance.

"What is he going to do?" she looked at his feet, they didn't move. Then, as if teleporting, he disappeared and appeared behind her. She turned to land a kick in his shoulder but was received by a finger poking her forehead.

"You aren't that good" he said sitting in the cold floor.

She stared at him with a wicked face. What was he doing? Was he only checking her fighting or what?

"Um… Why-y did you-u bri-iing me he-re?" she asked turning to the opposite direction.

"I thought that you were strong because you sensed the barrier that surrounds the Akatsuki headquarters and then I thought I could play with you but then again, you are just as weak as Sasuke…" he said turning to the window. It was dark outside, the rain falling down just like she predicted.

"I always thought that he was strong…" she thought as she too glanced at the window. She didn't know what to do. He could kill her in one second, yet he was sitting in front of her doing apparently nothing. She sighed and then she looked for her backpack but it seemed as if it wasn't there.

"Um…ano Uchiha-san, where's my backpack?" she stuttered, afraid of his reaction.

"…" He looked at her. She was afraid of him, of what he was going to do with her. The truth was that he didn't know why he was sitting here with her. But something felt rather weird, he didn't want to return to the hideout, not now.

"Why?"

"Um. I'm thirsty" she said blushing slightly. Why was she so weak?

He looked at her one more time and then he stood up and went out of the room. Hinata followed him with her eyes, and then she activated her byakugan, but then another barrier blocked her. She waited patiently and when she finally heard the door opening, she saw Itachi holding her backpack. He threw it at her and then he leaned on the wall in front of her.

""Um…Tha-ank you, Uchi- Itachi… and stop stuttering or I'll kill you" he spat out and then he began to unbutton his cloak. Hinata gasped at the sudden outburst of his voice. Then again, she always made everyone mad.

As she took out the water bottle from her backpack, she sensed him looking at her. It was as if he was investigating her. She began to grow nervous but then she decided to fight the fear.

"Itachi san…why do you keep me here?" she said collecting her courage. Maybe this was the last sentence that she would spell before her death. When he began to walk near her, she felt her heart beating furiously. Her eyes widen when he grabbed her chin and lifted her head so that she could see his eyes.

"You are weak, yet you saw our barrier and then you ask this kind of questions knowing the things I could do to you. Why?" he asked not letting her move. Hinata could feel her muscles go numb, her heart beating more rapidly than before, if possible, and she tried to think but all her mind said was that she was going to die. "I-I do-on't know" she tried not to stutter but it was useless. When he explored her white eyes, he smirked and then he sat in front of her.

This is going to be interesting…

-o-

"Oi Naruto, let stop. Its dark and we have not found any trace of Hinata sama" Neji said stopping in a clearing.

"But what if she's in danger!?" Naruto yelled and when he was about to run again, Neji grabbed him by the wrist.

"Stop it now Naruto! For all we know, Hinata sama can be dead now…" Neji said loud at first but then the idea stroke in his mind. They stayed silent until Naruto said something. "Anyway, we will keep searching until we have some clues about her"

They didn't talk for the rest of the night, both thinking of Hinata.

-o-

She stared at the floor. They hadn't talked in about 2 hours. All they did was breath and look, he to the window, she to the floor. Her eyelids began to drop and soon, she was asleep. Her breathing was normal and her arms embraced her backpack. Her head rested on the top of her backpack. Itachi stared at her for a moment. She looked peaceful unlike the fearful look when she was awake. He stood up and went outside. The night was starry and the wind blew passively. The rain had stopped. He let himself feel the wind, a feeling of freedom spreading in his soul. He decided to leave her there until she awoke. For now, he went to the forest. Seeing that no one was near a range of 5 km, he started training. Putting some targets in some trees, he practiced like he did when he was younger. Those times when his foolish little brother would admire him and then get jealous because of all the attention the oldest brother gained. Itachi smirked at the thought. After 3 hours of non stop training, Itachi walked to the abandoned house. He knew that soon, he would have to kill her, because she wasn't of any use.

Poor weak, shy girl.

Hinata opened her eyes only to see an empty room. Itachi was gone, so his cloak. She turned to the window, light rays passed through the glass. She stood up only to feel a sharp pain in all of her back. Sleeping in that position wasn't of any good. Al she gained was a backache. She straightened up and then she made some stretches. When she was done, she found herself hungry. Her stomach growled fiercely. She took some precooked rice balls from her backpack and ate them slowly. Thinking deeply, she wondered why he kept her here. What was what he wanted? She didn't have any clue at all. All she knew was that she was trapped and with anything to do. She felt weaker than before. All she could do was stare at the window… Feeling the depression in her fragile heart, Hinata remembered what her father yelled everyday. He was right, maybe now he was happy without her embarrassing him. Hinata let her tears fall freely, she didn't need to suffer more. Maybe Itachi would kill her and then she could rest in peace. Yeah it would be a good option. But then, wasn't that like giving up on life. What if Naruto and Neji were right? What if she was strong inside? If she was, then she wanted to live, and become a powerful kunoichi. She knew that she could prove wrong those who judge her that she was worthy for something. She believed that she could be strong. Naruto said so, also Neji. She quickly wiped the tears.

Death is not an option…If he's going to kill me, I'll fight back.

Itachi saw all this from outside. His sharingan eyes explored her byakugan ones. She was determined to live. Maybe, Itachi had another plans for her. For now, he decided to leave her there until her supplies run out. That way, she would know who she was dealing with.
