Chapter 1.
Hinata lays in her bed, tossing and turning every so-and-so minutes. Drops of sweat gliding down her face as she relives on of the most terrifying event she has witnessed in her experience as a genin. No more than an illusion, but still owning the magnitude to give her crushing spirit in her mind. The preliminary matches for the chuunin exams.
Neji is fighting harshly, flawlessly, she can't land a blow. He has the advantage and knocks her down. The only words he is able to communicate to her is "….carrying the burden of the main branch family." The fate that she was doomed to the moment she was born. She attempts to get up from the floor only to find her body is paralyzed with fear. She is finally able to focus enough to get up. She directs her attention to her opponent, he is rushing at her at an incredible speed. She can't move anymore. Just as he reaches out towards her heart in a fatal stance, a flash of light shines through her glimpse of the dream as she hears a scream that makes you twitch as though your body has just dropped ten degrees.
Hinata awakens to find it is a fresh morning. She leaves her bed and heads towards the kitchen to get breakfast. Realizing that she has lost her appetite, she just poured herself some green tea and runs through today's agenda. She has no training with team 8, no chores yet assigned. Satisfied with the chance to relax, she decides she will take a short walk.
Circling around the training ground in the Hyuuga Compound, she spots the tree sitting north of the center. She stared at it, something about it just takes her into a strange state. Like they way you feel when you're daydreaming, except she didn't dream. Memories of her precious comrades come to her mind. She gives a slight smile without noticing. As she approaches the memory of Neji, a cold shiver goes down her spine.
"What are you looking at Hinata-sama?" asked a voice coming from Hinata's right side.
Hinata gasps as she turns her head in surprise, there standing about 5 ft. away from her was Hyuuga Neji.
"I-I-I was ju-" she wasn't ready to talk to him after the experience of her dream. She ran away, hands in front of her body, gripping her shoulders.
