I do not own Naruto or InuYasha. I don't own any of the characters. Also, if you happen to know the character's birthdays, can you send them to me?

~Hinata's Point of View (PoV)~ She is 3 years old in the 1 paragraph.
I walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. On the table was a breakfast of some eggs and bacon. I sat down at the very end of the table. Neji-niisan and Hanabi-chan sat down at the end of the table a minute later. Father came in and sat at the head of the table. After we finish breakfast, Neji-niisan, Hanabi-chan, and I get dressed and meet up at the training grounds. Father goes into his office and works. After a few hours of training together (with Neji-niisan always winning), we go our separate ways and go to our teachers. We're home schooled for now. Then, my father walks in my last lesson and insults me. Starting with pathetic, then a long speech about how I was unworthy to the clan, he'd end with calling me weak for the last time. He'd leave me and I'd run into my room and cried, falling asleep in my tears. It was the same routine over and over. I hated it.
Today, it changed. I was finally starting the Academy. My tutors at home already covered the things we learned about there. Still, I paid attention and took down careful notes. I found the people there…different. They were loud and they smiled so much. They seemed so carefree. I envied them. I made a few friends and I hoped that someday that I could be carefree too. I'd help Hanabi-chan and Neji-niisan be carefree too. If and when I become leader of the Hyuga clan, I'll demolish the separation between the branches. We'll all be one big family. Until then, I'll train hard.
Everyone is now 16. Let's see what happens.
"Hurry up and get down here now!" Neji-niisan yelled from downstairs. Impatient much? "I would be faster if you didn't yell at me so much!" I shouted back. Within a couple of seconds, I was down the stairs and by the door. "Coming?" I asked. There was nothing unusual with this morning. I'd get up, go downstairs, train a little with Neji-niisan, and then I'd get a mission. Sometimes it was only a couple hours while others were a couple days long. Either way, I loved my life. Even though my Father hates me, I don't mind. I've got some of the best friends in the world and (the rest of) my family are very protective of me. Sometimes I think they go too far, but nothing I can't fix with some talking to. I wouldn't wish for another life but mine.
Well, today was special though. Today was my birthday. I was turning 16. I'm pretty sure that everyone is going to try and throw me a party though I don't want one. I felt as though all their presents go to waste sometimes though. Clothes and jewelry don't look as good on me as they would on my friends or my Father would think it's trash and end up tossing it. Most of my presents, that aren't clothes or jewelry, are hidden away safe in a box under my bed. Man, I feel like a real brat right now.
Later that day…
Well, anyways, I'm coming home from a short mission. It was an easy success. Kiba-kun's and Akamaru-kun's keen sense of smell with Shino-kun's insects, made it simple. My Byakugan only needed to be activated for a short time before we caught the missing kitten. Kiba-kun and Akamaru-kun tried to kill the cat. Oh well. It was a normal day, just like I said. I forgot why I was making a fuss earlier today. What was the topic about again? Oh well.
We were just about to enter the Konoha gates soon. "Oi, Hinata-chan! It's your birthday today right?" Kiba-kun yelled. Oh yeah. "Umm…Y-Yeah. I was kind of hoping everyone forgot about it though. I think that my birthday isn't a big deal," I said, scratching the back of my head a little. "Well, since today is your sweet 16, me and Shino will take you to lunch. Come on!" Kiba-kun yelled, dragging me there. I don't think he was listening to me after my first sentence. Shino-kun walked calmly behind us. Sometimes I wish that birthdays weren't such a big deal.
