Hanabi Hyuga walked down the aisle, déjà vu reoccurring inside everyone's mind. The ceremony repeated, having the brunette to recite a vow and earn a medallion. A tear fell from Hinata's cheeks, proud and overwhelmed to have her sister lead the clan.
"The new head of the Hyuga, Hyuga Hanabi! Child of Hyuga Hiashi and the sibling of Hyuga Hinata." The crowd erupted in glee, clapping for the new leader.
The night colored the sky and the moon lit it up, Hanabi stared at it, reminiscing life before the throne. It's been hours after the ceremony, the next day will be bombarded with responsibilities she has thought she escaped. A swift motion caught her off guard, she turned around to meet a familiar body.
"Onee-sama." Hanabi greeted her sister, bowing to her.
"No need to bow." The woman wrapped her arms around her sister, pushing her face onto her chest. "Congratulations, Hanabi. Father and Mother would've been so proud of you."
Tears threatened to fall out of the younger Hyuga's eyes, the mention of their parents still sensitive to her, to the both of them rather. Hanabi clutched her sister's cloak."Arigatou, Onee-sama."
"Hanabi, I have been meaning to give you this." Hinata pulled away, holding out a box wrapped with delicate paper. Hanabi took it out of her hand, ripping the wrapper to reveal a hair ornament—a silver accessory that mirrors the explosions of fireworks. She gasped at the present, her tears falling as of the current of the river.
"THANK YOU, HINATA-NEE. I LOVE IT." Hanabi hugged her older sister, the cloak soaked by her tears.
"Hanabi." Hinata called, pushing her sister lighlty. The younger Hyuga stared at her, trying to decipher the look Hinata gave her. Her eyes filled with concern yet had the stern glint of it. "I'm sorry you had to do this, I should still be governing the clan yet I have to take care of something important."
"Onee-sama, it's okay. I am grateful for your efforts, I could've been leader at the age of twelve, though you stood up for me. Thank you." Hanabi blushed at the memory of her sister at the meeting room, she might have this slight sister complex for Hinata. "W-Wait, you're leaving?"
Hinata nodded sadly, patting Hanabi's head. This shook the younger Hyuga, another family member leaving her was something she has feared after the death of her father.
"W-What? Hinata-nee-sama, you're all I have! Please tell me you're joking. Right?" Hanabi chuckled but when she caught the eyes of her sister, she didn't want to believe this was real, she clutched Hinata's cloak once more, sobbing. "Why?! I can't bear anyone leaving me anymore. First, Okaa-san who I never met! Neji-nii-san who sacrificed himself! Then, Otou-sama who was murdered. Lastly, you? You're the only bond I have. This is unfair!"
"I am sorry, life has been rough on us, especially to you. I'll make sure, to come back." She lifted Hanabi's chin, pressing her lips onto her forehead. She turned around, taking a step.
"I will never forgive you if you don't, onee-sama!" Hanabi exclaimed, anger and frustration in her tone.
Hanabi, it seems like you won't ever forgive me.
Hinata continued walking, travelling to the chambers of the devil himself.
Uchiha Sasuke came back from his travel to Iwagakure, he has stayed there for a few weeks, training to make his genjutsu more realistic and fatal. He stopped in front of the hidden doors of the hideout. A kunai stabbed the stone beside him, he teleported before the weapon exploded. He turned around to see a figure, clad with a cloak. He demanded, not interested with the amateur, "Who are you."
The figure unbuttoned the cloth and revealed themselves, he glared at the woman with blue hair. "We finally meet, Uchiha-san."
The woman opened her eyes to reveal the infamous Byakugan eyes.
"A Hyuga. Do you have any business with me." The man spoke.
The woman charged for Sasuke, revealing a pair of sai in both hands. Steel collided when his chokuto stopped the sai. Hinata kicked his abdomen which sent him a few feet away from the clash, though still landing perfectly. She charged again once more but balls of fire flew her way. "Katon!"
She dodged the attack, smirking at the attempt of the Uchiha. Her neck was wrapped with a hand and she was lifted off the ground, slamming her back, creating a crate. Hinata cried out, rolling to stand up again, her sai were thrown aside by Sasuke.
"Byakugan!" The veins appeared near her eyes and her pupils prominent. She could see the wheels of the tomoe circling in his eyes, activating his sharingan. She collected chakra into her palms before releasing a tense gust of air onto her opponent, "Hakke Kusho!"
He stabbed his sword on the ground and held on it tightly. Hinata smirked at the sight of the Uchiha struggling to keep his stand. She collected chakra once more, having to lean on her signature attack.
She ran to him, focusing on the chakra points. She striked sixty-four of them, the Uchiha worn out. He passed out, Hinata kneeling in front of him, chuckling.
His body turned into smoke, flickering in front of Hinata's position. A kick smashed her face, having her fly a few feet from the scene. She laid down, gathering chakra, choking on her tears.
"How arrogant of you to think you could defeat me with your weak offenses." Sasuke chuckled, humor not in his voice, he strode in front of Hinata's numb body. "I fought a god who had the same eyes as you, though you are weak as a twig."
He pointed the end of his sword in front of her face. "Now, I remember this scene. It was just the same with the head of the Hyuga."
"Don't talk about my father as if he were nothing!" She screamed, her fists hitting his shin. Unaffected, he chuckled, pinning her down the ground, he leaned in her ear.
"Oh, that was your father, huh? I'll show you where he went." He laughed sadistically, a psycho he was. The sound of his chokuto echoed, stabbing her chest. Her body turned into a log. "A genin move, pathetic."
"Jūho Sōshiken!" Fists with the shape of a lion's head contacted with Sasuke's back. The man fell onto the ground, Hinata pinned him down, smashing her head onto his. "You have the conscience of the devil! How dare you kill my father!"
Her nails dug the skin of his cheeks. He laughed it off. "I may be the devil; now will you kill me? Do you think you'll be better than me? If I end up in your hands in the name of revenge, we're no different."
Hinata stared at him, her tears threatening to fall, "Shut up! Your mind tricks won't work on me!"
"Isn't vengeance your goal? What are you waiting for." Sasuke shouted, his uneven colored eyes staring at the lilac ones she possessed. "DO IT!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" She recited, her mind wandering to a void. She raised her palms, striking the ground beside him. His body flickered behind her, the sounds of a thousand birds echoing through the forest.
"Pathetic." He slammed his hand onto her. Her vision turning to a darkness.
