Hey all! I was requested to do a Byakuya fic! I'm NOT going to keep Aoi in this fic, just to let you know. If I'm going to do a sequel, I'll do it completely. This is not the way I work.
Which in this situation is a good thing!
Instead of doing things that way, I think I'll have a very slight cross over, yes, the main character I think will be Hyuuga Hinata! Mwahahaha!
Anyway, let me see how well this works!
On with the show!
Disclaimer- I do not own. Tite Kubo owns everything except the first chapter, Neji and Hinata. Masashi Kishimoto owns that.
Chapter 1
Hinata growled from pain at the bottom of the pit. She could hear at least one other scream above hers, but she couldn't tell who's. She knew that there was one other above her besides, but there was no sound. She knew that wasn't good.
"Nii-sama?" She gasped, trying to grasp the wood that had impaled her stomach and screamed as she yanked it from her.
She stood slowly, pulling chunks of wood from herself here and there. She knew her left leg was broken, her right was impaled just above the knee. She couldn't see out of her left eye and was pretty sure her skull had been crushed there, which probably meant her eye was gone.
She coughed, surprised when her lungs pushed out half of the blood in her body. She watched as the blood flowed free of her mouth, surprised when she realized it didn't hurt nearly as much as she thought it would.
"Nii-sama?" She looked up and saw Inuzuka Kiba at the top of the pit, his eyes widening as she came into view.
"Hinata! Sit down! Rest! Oh my god! Don't move anymore!" She saw tears in his eyes and she looked up at him.
She could hear him, but she didn't comprehend his words.
"Where's Neji-nii-sama?"
"He's down there somewhere. Don't worry about him right now! Hinata, you're dying! Sit down!" She looked at him, her eyes widening as the meaning of his words ran across her.
She smiled at him with wide eyes before looking around. She grasped the wood above her head and started pulling herself up, despite the tearful screams from the surface.
She lifted herself to a small stick that was sturdily stuck in the ground and sat, looking at the pile of wood beside her.
She lifted up one of the boards beside her and screamed, seeing Neji's hand. She started frantically lifting the wood from him, doing her best to dig him out.
She lifted the last piece, finding his head and screamed again.
Kiba's eyes widened in shock and fear.
"Hinata! Don't look!" Kiba sobbed, trying to reach down to them. It was futile and Hinata knew it.
They were both dead. She looked up with a smile on her face, coughing up more blood that had found it's way into her lungs.
"I'm sorry, Kiba! Take care of Hinabi for us?" She asked, tears starting to fall from her eyes. Kiba shook his head, the shock still trying to work it's way in to his terrified mind.
"Don't you dare give up! You're still alive! We can still save you!" He turned, looking around.
"WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE GOD DAMNED MEDIC?"
"Who is that?" Kiba looked down at the woman, who's eyes were slowly closing and he screamed, trying his best to reach into the hole they were in.
"Hinata! Reach up to me! Please! Don't die like this!"
Hinata's eyes were focused intently on something above Kiba's head and he turned quickly, praying that someone had come, only to find nothing.
He turned and screamed as Hinata's smile started to slide off, her hand that she'd been holding Neji with loosening it's grip and sliding to her side.
"HINATA!"
She watched as a sudden weight fell to her chest, but she wasn't sure what it was. She saw someone standing above her, and he jumped down to her without the fear of the wood shards that kept Kiba out.
"Please, can you help Nii-sama?" She bowed graciously. The man standing above her watched her and frowned slightly.
"Your friend just explained that you were dying. You're more concerned with your brother?"
"He's my cousin! He's more important than I am! If you can save him, please!"
"Hinata..." She turned to see Neji staring at her with wide eyes.
"Neji-nii-sama!" She smiled and Neji stared at her in shock.
"You're dead..."
"What?" Hinata stared at him for a moment and smiled.
"As long as you're alive..." She smiled and the man before her sighed.
"You don't get it yet. Neither one of you survived. It's my job to take you to the other world before you become hollow."
"Hollow?" Hinata watched as the man standing above her sighed.
"You'll understand eventually." He sighed as he pulled out his kitana and Hinata watched with awe as he lightly tapped the hilt to Neji's head.
Neji turned to a bright light, his body shining till it was burned out, only a black butterfly in it's place.
"Please take me to Nii-sama!" Hinata asked, her tone not matching her shocked face.
"I'll do my best." The man sighed as he brought the hilt back down to her.
She felt the light surround her, she felt her body rise, but she looked down, seeing Kiba down below, Sakura finally running to his side.
She just stared. They were going to pull their bodies out soon. She sighed, smiling. She didn't envy what they were about to have to go through.
In war there will be casualties. In exercises there will be incidents.
When Naruto's in the exercises there's no saying what will happen.
She closed her eyes, feeling the light around her grow hotter, then it cooled down, becoming comfortable. Before she knew it her feet touched the ground.
She opened her eyes and looked around.
She was in an area surrounded by trees. She looked down, her body covered in blood, her clothing ripped and barely covering herself. She frowned a she looked over, seeing a small brook and looked in, sighing at the sight.
Her long hair was covered in blood. Her face looked like it had probably been bashed before she got here. She knew she was better now, as she couldn't see through her torso in the reflection in the water. She looked around, seeing no one around and stood, slipping off her clothing and walked into the brook.
It was about waist deep and she dunked herself in, feeling the tightening on her skin from the drying blood loosen. It was a relief in itself when she raised her head and grabbed her clothing. She frowned and turned, the water hitting the clothing before herself, as when she'd stood before all of the water seemed to be tinted in red.
She got all of the blood out of her clothing and threw it over a rock that was warm in the sun and smiled, knowing it wouldn't be too long before it was dried.
She knew that Neji wasn't near her. She wondered if he'd be arriving soon, or if she should just wait. She didn't know what was going on.
But it was oddly relaxing here.
She smiled and sat down on one of the rocks off to the side and leaned back, her hair soaking in the light current.
She closed her eyes, wondering if the creek was fed by a hot spring, as the water wasn't cold at all.
It was warm. It was so comfortable...
She woke a few hours later, stepping out of the water. She wrung her hair before looking over. Her clothing wasn't completely dried, but it was enough. They would dry on their own.
She didn't see Neji anywhere and walked towards something she saw off in the distance, some form of tower. She hoped that if it was a city she would be able to find something out.
oooooOOOOOXXXXXOOOOOooooo
It had been a few months since Hinata came here. She was learning what was going on. They used chakra, but called it reiatsu. As far as she could tell it was the same thing.
She noticed as she was here her memories were quickly vanishing. Though it had been a few months, she remembered she wanted the man who saved her to take the other one that had died first.
She couldn't remember his name.
She frowned. She knew he had the same eyes as her. He had the same name. He was a Hyuuga.
But why couldn't she remember him?
She remembered someone with pink hair, and Naruto, a man she knew she'd loved. She could remember his face, but it was harder and harder each day to see those eyes so vividly in her mind.
Her clothing, which used to hide her were now something that stood out in the city. She wore a long, white haori, her hamaka was white, but was decorated towards the bottom with small purple flowers. She wore a kitana at her side, but she didn't know where it had come from. She had a dream that the sun had come down from the sky, a handsome man within kissed her. She woke and the kitana was in her hand. She didn't know why, but she knew she could never get rid of this sword.
She heard words every once in a while, but she didn't know where from.
She had heard around town about the shinigami. She knew that they were the ones controlling the city. She wondered. If she joined them, would the other that she died with remember her? Would it make it easier to find him?
She frowned. She'd wondered before, but with the way her memory was erasing itself she knew if she didn't make a move soon she wouldn't be able to remember what she was looking for.
She'd saved up her money. She didn't need it for anything except food and clothing, as she had not wanted to spend all her money at the inn. Most of the money she did get was from hunting down the ones in Rukongai that deserved punishment.
For some odd reason, it seemed really familiar for her to take these missions. She never turned one down.
She never failed one either.
She could see so far with her eyes, even when they were closed that no one could escape her.
She frowned as she walked up to the guard at the door.
"I want to join the shinigami."
oooooOOOOOXXXXXOOOOOooooo
Okay! That's it for the first chapter! Let's see how this goes!
I know, no one wants to see a favorite character die, but if they're not only a corpse in the end it's alright, right? I will explain why the Naruto world is there later. I did think this out. (last second lol)
Anyway, see you next chapter!
JaNe!
