A Savior or an Enemy
Did the savior save me…?
…or
Did I save the savior…?
"Meet your new little sister, Hinata." his father turned towards him, not allowing him the see the death that had occurred there.
"Eh?" asked the confused Sasuke as his father led him back into the house. The young man took one last long look at Sayo and then closed the door letting silence prevail once more along the narrow dim-lighted street.
The constant ringing of her annoying alarm clock immediately woke the fourteen-year-old Hyuga, for she responded with a big whack to stop it. Slowly she uprooted her heavy eyelids, revealing her pearly eyes, she removed the warmth of her covers from her body. She slipped out of bed, while unbuttoning her sleepy wear and throwing it on top her bed. Her vision was still blurry and the bright rays from the sun made her eyes burn. At last she was dressed in her school uniform but instead of heading down to breakfast like she should, she collapsed back to the comfort of her soft bed. "What a strange dream…" she thought to herself, " Was that young child suppose to be me…? Well she did have the same name as me. But… Sayo… could that be my mother…? Sasuke… now who could that be…?" She soon became lost in many thought and questions she had while remembering the strange events that happened in her dream; she had no clue what they meant yet she was intrigued by the thought that these could be the lost memories of her childhood. But afraid to tell her father or anybody else about the dreams she has been experiencing for the past few months, it was a secret that only she knew.
The Point of View of: Hinata Hyuga
My name is Hinata Hyuga, I'm an ordinary shy student attending Konoha high except for one thing… I have no memory until I was eight. I was always interested of my unknown past since most of my memories have been inside the Hyuga household. I even gathered up my courage to ask my Otou-sama about it… but that ended up in failure and humiliation.
Flashback: Hinata (Age: 9)
"O-Otou-sama…" I stuttered as I gave a slight tug on his white kimono. My father just responded by eyeing me a look filled irritation.
"Hinata, how many times have I warned you to be lady-like when you address someone!" he stated sternly. I was pushed by this comment but my determination to ask him about my past did not waver. I took a deep breath and summed up my courage.
"O-Otou-sama…d-do y-you I-I mean d-do you know a-anything a-bout m-my past…" I asked quickly in one breath. I took one glance and I could tell the anger and the fear in my Otou-sama's eyes, I was scared no- I was terrified.
"Hinata!Don't you dare ever to bring that topic up again… Do you understand!" the tone he spoke in was murderous; I could feel a cold chill run down my spine. He had me by the collar and I could feel the heat of tears drip down my face. He dropped me to ground and just swept by without another word. He just left me sobbing in the hallway. Even at my young age I knew that he was dead serious.
End of Flashback: Hinata (Age: 9)
…and well that was the first and last time I brought that topic with any one existing in the Hyuga household. I tried bringing up with my "trustworthy" friends but the conversation just ended up about their childhoods and how bad my memory must be.
Suddenly the door flung open so hard that it crashed into the wall, I struck up from my bed, completely startled by the sudden outburst of the door. There in the doorway stood an annoyed little sister, more like my annoyed little sister, Hanabi Hyuga.
"O-nee-san!Otou-sama is irritated that you are late for breakfast, again. " she stated in a voice for of annoyance. With a flick of her hair, she turned and head toward the stairs.
"G-Gomen (S-Sorry)!" I cried back as I followed her down the long stairs to the first floor. There sat Otou-sama looking as solemn as ever. He merely raised his head in response of his daughters approach.
"O-Ohayo (G-Good Morning) Otou-sama…" I muttered as I took a seat at the large dinning table. Everything in the Hyuga household was large. Well, it was a fifty-room mansion, with humongous televisions to expensive house wear. It would most likely make even a 12-foot giant feel petite…
"Hinata!Your so stupid…"I screamed mentally to myself as I forced myself to place a smile as I compelled myself into finishing the partially uncooked eggs. "How could you make Otou-sama mad on exam day…"
"Hinata."Otou-sama strict voice cut through my thoughts like knife, "I expect one-hundred-percent on your exam today, just like Hanabi, understand." I just gave up a small nod, " Iknew it…" Even though my junior by six years, Otou-sama always favored Hanabi and why wouldn't she be… With long dark layered hair that curved along her narrow cheekbones, striking features which only complimented her small build, skin a nicely color of tan, and a direct and mature attitude… She would make a perfect woman and a perfect heir to the Hyuga Company. Unlike I, with short blue-blackish hair that followed the full alignment of my full face, big bubbly eyes that just made me look childish, an ordinary chest and curves, and shy, antisocial, and unconfident personality… we were total opposites…
"… That's why I will not approve of your late behavior to breakfast and also work on you speech. Stop stuttering. Understood…" Otou-sama's words once again prevailed in releasing me from my deep thoughts and I gave a small nod once more. As usual there was silence at the dinning table, no one would make a sound, nonetheless speak.
" Pleaseexcuse me…." Hanabi finally said in her monotone voice as she grabbed her school bag and walked out the front door without even a farewell, leaving Otou-sama and I alone. Glancing up at Otou-sama's, I noticed in look-wise he resembled my cousin, Neji-nii, a stern solemn face that really ever shows a smile, long brownish hair tied back into a low pony-tail, and eyes… eyes that seem to pierce everything in its gaze. Then for a split second our eyes met, but being the coward I am… I immediately looked back down. "W-Well this is really… awkward…" I stuttered to myself for I could fell Otou-sama's gaze fall out top of me as I continued to finish the rest of my breakfast.
"O-Otou-sama… I-I have t-to get t-o school…" I stuttered shyly, I could feel my face heat up as I gathered the dishes Hinabi left lying on the dinning table and mine as well, placing them in the sink. I grabbed my school bag and rushed out the door muttering really softly, "S-Sayonara… (G-Good Bye…)" before I closing it behind me.

As he watched his eldest daughter hurry out the wooden door. He sighed, withdrawing a small picture from his kimono sleeve. Taking another heavy sigh, he stared at the photograph, his eyes narrowing in despair.
"Sayo…" he whispered, sorrow filled his voice, "…Is it the right time yet to inform her of her tragic past… and the role she must fulfill in the future."
Meanwhile…
Exiting the train at the station, she took a glance at her watch. "O-Oh no… I'm late… I bet Kiba-kun and Shino-kun are mad…" Then abruptly, a figure gave her a hard slap on the back. Completely startling her, she gave loud shriek causing bystanders to stare. She whirled around to the unknown figure.
" Yo! Hinata!" A echoing caught the Hyuga's ears, for she responded immediately to the loud voice.
"K-Kiba-kun, y-your too l-loud…" she stuttered in embarrassment, as she glanced back at forth taking notice of the people staring at them.
"Let them think what they want. C'mon, Shino is waiting!" he continued, not lowering his volume, as he motioned her to follow. She just gave a deep bow to the people around her and rushed after her friend, Kiba Inuzuka. Waiting impatiently at the school gate for them was none other then, Shino Aburame. Finally, reaching him, she found she was out of breath
"G-Gomen S-Shino-kun…" she panted out, trying to catch her breath. He just nodded in response and proceeded through the school gates.

Exams passed quickly… at least for Kiba-kun it did since he slept through most of them… It is now mealtime, I hate lunchtime actually I hate school… Everyday I can hear giggles and teases about how different I am from everyone else, its not only me personality… it was everything about me… My short blue-blackish hair, my sickly pale skin, and my blank pearly eyes, everything… My friends tell me not to fret too much about it… but it really hurts.
"K-Kiba-kun… W-Where is Akumaru…" I asked noticing that his pet dog was nowhere to be seen. Kiba-kun always brought Akumaru where every they went so it always seemed impossible to get them to part from each other.
"Oh, Akumara, he caught a cold. I wanted to stay with him but… my stupid Oba-san (Old woman/Aunt) kick me out of the house screaming that I had to go to school" he grumbled while munching on a ham sandwich.
"Oh, I hope Akumaru's alright…" I said in a tone of worry.
"Don't worry about him… I just worry about what my Oba-san will say when I show her my failed test…" he said as he removed a crumpled test paper from his pocket.
"…Good for you…" Shino muttered so softly that I barely caught what he said. I just giggled and continued to eat my lunch, admiring the cherry blossoms that were now in bloom and thinking...
"I guess today wasn't such a bad day after all…"
The end of school came fast, we said out farewells to Shino-kun and then both Kiba-kun and I continued down the road back to our homes.
"So… Hinata, are you okay now…" Kiba-kun asked as he gave me a pat in the back of the head. I cocked my head in question as he turned his gaze to the wall, " I mean if you… um if you are feeling a bit happier now. 'Cuz you looked a bit down today…" he said in a hesitant voice which was really unlike the loud-mouthed Kiba I knew but his concern made me… really happy.
" Hai(Yes)… All thanks to Shino-kun and you." I said as I felt a smile appear on my lips. "The first line I said today without stuttering…" He just grinned at me and we continued to walk down the road.
"My thoughts were happy as I walked down the street with Kiba by my side, his presence gave a feeling that warmed my heart but even this feeling would not last…"

The peaceful walk continued, both of them were happy… Hinata smiled and opened her mouth to speak everything seemed normal… but a warm liquid then splattered across her face. It dripped down slowly onto her hand her eyes widened her became pupils small. Her hand began to shiver as she felt her body grow cold, the crimson liquid smeared across her body, blood… Her thoughts were scattered and her eyes averting in all directions finally averted to her fallen friend. Her knees buckled at the sight of it, she felt sick. There in the middle of the street lay Kiba Inuzuka, his body disfigured from the slashes and wound he received, his blood poured out. Hinata could feel her stomach curl, multiple screams trapped in her throat, slowly and shakily she reach out her hand toward him. Placing, her hand on his loose shoulder, she could feel the warmth that he once carried begin to leave... Tears began to fall from her eyes and her whole body began to tremble.
She glanced around to call for help but her voice refused to answer. Suddenly black silhouettes appeared from the ground carrying scythes that resembled the grim reapers, in pure horror she crawled closer and closer to the unconscious Kiba.
"Well why don't you smell yummy… heh… hehehe" they spoke as they approached her.
"N-No…"She tried to run but her legs refused to move, her body was frozen, her voice gone… Was she going to die here? Was she going to be eaten by these monsters? Her eyes shut, but she could feel the blood seeping from Kiba's wound into her hand.
"N-No… I can't die here…" she muttered, " I can't…" She felt her fear being replace by rage… What did she do? What did Kiba do? Nothing… Nothing at all!
" No! I can't die here!"
A young boy suddenly appeared in front of her and in an instant the silhouettes she loathed so much were slaughtered. With both grace and skill the boy who looked no more than fifteen killed all of the dark shades that surround him. His skin was as pale as hers, his short black hair followed the side of his narrow face, his features were delicate, his build was small but strong, and his eyes shimmered a deep onyx. Anyone would have admired this boy good looks but Hinata's thought were filled of her dieing friend.
"Pathetic…" he muttered as he stepped closer and closer toward her. She was terrified but she knew that Kiba needed help right this instant. Yet she could feel the aura of hate and rage illuminating from the teenager. Shaking and afraid, she met his murderous gaze, "Why… do I…" he hissed, "… have to protect a lowly angel!" The point of the long katana pointed to her neck, she could feel its prick for blood trickled down. Eyes full of hate and the intent to kill, he glared silently at her not saying a word, sword still pointed to her neck.
"O-Onegai (I beg of you)…" Despite the dread she felt of losing her life her voice was back, "O-Onegai… Please…" her tears still flowing from her tired eyes. She glanced once more at her friend, his wound that would not stop bleeding, and then determination filled her once more.
"ONEGAI! PLEASE SAVE KIBA!"
Please review. I know it was quite repetitive at some parts but as I promised I will get better. Thank you in advance.
Please look foward to the next chapter: An Angel and A Devil
