Alright, Chapter two. I just wanted to say thanks to my first five reviewers, they didn't seem to think it was a horrible beginning so thanks guys!

First things first: I just wanted to say there will be magic use in this story. Yea the title kind of gave it away, but still. Ok I will research some plants and herbs and things like that as needed but, I just didn't want to offend anyone who actually studies any craft. I know this is more the movie maker version of witches but it suits my purposes, I just wanted to get that out there.

Anyways, Naruto will be in chapter 3! And possibly will meet Hinata in chapter 3 as well. And no I will not be rushing their romance; I don't believe that as soon as he blinks he should shout his undying love for Hinata…even if that be cool.

As for who Hinata was running from….well…I guess we'll find out wont we? Not now of course haha..

Onward!

Chapter 2: Pay attention to some clues.


Damn! Damn, Damn, Damn!

I almost had her that time! How did she break free! That little slut deserves everything that's coming to her! Everything! How dare she escape me? But…no matter. There is always next time. Oh yes, she can't keep running forever, no, no, no.

Ha-ha, for now…just keep running my little love. Sooner or later I'll corner you. Then we can continue what we left behind all those years ago. Won't this be fun? Close your eyes and I'll give you to the count of ten….

The town of Konoha was all in whispers. Hushed tones were spoken in from breakfast until lunch, old women meeting at the grocery stores and inside their homes for tea. Even the men standing around or working were not unaffected by the stories. The children usually alight with energy and mischief seemed to sense how everyone was being extra quiet and secretive today because they weren't as loud.

All the stories were the same after all…

'Do you know who's finally come home?' Whispered a fruit vendor to a small woman shopping with her father. Answering in a hushed tone the girl gasped a dramatic hand clasping over her heart. "No! It couldn't be!" And with that she quickly ran to her hair salon claiming to her father she needed a trim.

"Did you hear about them yet?" She asked excitedly. "Of course I did darling." Her hair dresser said a hand coming up to cup her mouth answering back. "Everyone's been talking all morning, and it seems Ben, you remember him don't you? I told you about the dates I've been on, well anyway. "The petite hair dresser said, her large brown eyes full of pride and the hunger for gossip. "He told me that his friend knows this girl, who's going out with one of the movers that paid to bring their stuff in."

The lady gasped again from this new information. "No!" "Yes." The hair dresser replied before her gaze was caught out the window. Soon enough they were both staring out the window to the dark haired beauty walking down the side walk. Walking slowly but surely her head high as she gazed at the flowers of a nearby garden as if she weren't the talk of the town. But seeing her just confirmed all the stories were true, it had been a while but…

The sisters were finally home.


Hinata walked through the town quietly, a shopping bag under her arm. That was the whole reason for being here in town after all. Getting food for her and her sisters, and enduring the usually whispered stories and speculation. Hinata almost grinned, her delicate pale hand coming up in a small cough to play off her smile as one of the older women tugged her grandson away telling him not to point especially at the one of Hyuuga girls.

Especially the Hyuuga girls.

Unable to stop her giggle she winked at the child who giggled in return and a small wave. Little did he know, he'd find a small lollipop in his back pocket when he got home. Hinata smiled slightly bending her head slightly so her bangs could cover her lavender eyes. It had been a while, five years in fact, since the last time any of them had been home. She missed the town. And apparently the town missed her. Hinata could feel their excitement, happiness even the small bit of fear and jealousy that always seemed to follow whenever she entered town.

Humming she waved to the few towns people who would acknowledge her. Sighing in contentment as the wind caressed her face, she stopped closing her eyes letting the calm, cleanliness of the wind wash over her form. A small sign from Ino, she too was content.

'Look…' It whispered all of a sudden changing, getting wilder. Hinata flinched and kept walking a hand coming up to rest on the bridge of her nose. Her head was throbbing. "This is odd." She murmured rubbing her forehead. Something important tugged at her mind but nothing seemed to appear. It was frustrating. The throbbing continued. "Haven't had a headache this bad in a while…" She sighed softly. Stopping once again to fix her fly away indigo hair she tugged her sweater closer.

'Look! Damn you look!' It hissed angrily and Hinata shuddered from the intense fury of it.

Hesitantly she looked off to the sight and her eyes softened. There was the small playground nearly abandoned for the newer cooler one, and beyond that was the forest. This one was all wood though. A small bridge and plastic slide. But their hanging from the tree was a small swing. It creaked idly back and forth.

Walking to the small gate Hinata placed her hand on small white gate that separated the park from the street. Without realizing what was going on, her eyes glazed over and her lips parted. Taking a deep breath her eyes fluttered close.

'Ten…'

"Hey Hinata!" A familiar voice cried out. "Kiba!" Hinata said spinning around a smile gracing her features, the swing forgotten for the moment. "What you doing way out here Hinata? Giving these people a show?" Her longtime friend Kiba Inuzuka asked as he jogged over. By his side a medium sized white dog.

Laughing Hinata caught him up in a hug. "You know me better that Kiba! Ino is going to do her own grand entrance later, I just thought I'd come by before they all went insane from waiting to see if we were really home.

A deep husky laugh erupted from him as he picked her up and spun her around. Kiba was aware of all the rumors and stories, which ones were true and which weren't, but it never actually stopped him from befriending Hinata and her sisters. Kiba's warm brown eyes gazed at her in a way she'd come to 'feel' was brotherly affection.

"I've missed you" Hinata confessed shyly, that had him barking with laughter all over again. "Aw Hina, I've missed you too." Grinning he messed up her hair affectionately. Pushing his hand away he rolled his eyes. "So what you doing out here?" Kiba asked as his eyes roamed the playground before turning back to her. "Oh shopping, Ino and Sakura arrived late last night none of us did any food shopping. I've got some stuff until Ino goes out later and shops."

Kiba made a face, causing her to giggle. "And how is the Drama Queen?" Kiba asked sarcastically rolling his eyes. "Kiba…" Hinata warned. "Ha! Come on Hina! You know how she is! One little comment about her hair and she goes ballistic and made me blonde with that hairstyle for a week. " Kiba shuddered. "The guys still won't shut up about it!"

Hinata laughed aloud. She remembered that, actually it wasn't just a little comment. Kiba had told Ino that her hair looked as though someone had done it while they were drunk and blind in one eye. Ino didn't exactly appreciate it since she'd spent hours doing it. So in a fit she'd casted a small spell so Kiba would see how good it really looked only on him. (Ino would never admit she didn't like the style either, but it was the whole principal of it.)

Kiba growled and Akamaru yipped in response until Hinata calmed down. "Sorry Kiba but seeing you as a blonde and as emotional as Ino was hilarious!" Kiba scoffed. "Whatever, come on I'll give you a ride back. I wanna see the banshee and Sakura." Hinata snorted rolling her eyes allowing him to lead her to the truck.

The Hyuuga estate wasn't a long drive; they lived just outside of town. The large grey mansion loomed over head as they drove up; in the background trees dominated the rest of the land behind their home. Kiba stared in amazement. No matter how many times he came to visit the house still put him in awe….and kind of freaked him out. The roof especially with faces carved into it, along with a black pointed rail surrounding the roof. It gave off a weird vibe that gave even the bravest of souls a small shudder of fear and eerie silence. Except of course Hinata.

Kiba just didn't understand that. Hinata always lit up when she arrived. She called it home; he called it the creepiest haunted house.

"Hina, you guys really need to redecorate." Kiba sighed opening his door allowing Akamaru to jump out. Hinata grinned. "Kiba you save that every time you come here." Kiba snorted throwing an arm around her shoulder. "Doesn't make it any less true princess." Smiling Hinata didn't comment going to the large black gate in front of her house. Gently she touched the lock, watching it shudder and give way.

Kiba whistled. "That is really cool; I haven't seen that happen before." Hinata smiled opening the gate. "It's been in our family for generations. It's designed to recognize someone with Hyuuga blood. It's odd, but it never seems to mind when you come Kiba." Walking to the front door they opened it, hearing a call from down the hall. "Hinata? Why'd you bring the mutt with you?" Ino said appearing in the kitchen door way her arms crossed and silver blue eyes narrowed.

Kiba growled. "I came to see Hina and Sakura. I was hoping they would have banished the banshee but I guess not." Ino's temper sparked. "The only thing that's going to be banished is you once I get my hands on you!"

Kiba crossed his arms mimicking her pose. "What and my little dog too?" Akamaru whined slightly going to hide behind Hinata. Hinata shook her head going to the kitchen. It was almost lunch time in any case. Ino clenched her fists and nearly growled. "What did I say about the wicked witch jokes! That's insulting! As if I would ever hurt an intelligent creature like Akamaru. Can't say the same for his master though." Ino huffed turning around.

"Why you lit-" "Alright enough you two." Sakura sighed coming out into the hall way. Her emerald eyes glancing from her sister to Kiba and back. "We just got back and your already fighting like a married couple, I'm guessing you guys missed each other huh?" Ino flicked her wrist and a vase crashed next to Sakura. To her credit Sakura didn't even bat an eyelash. Kiba huffed. "Hey its miss drama queens fault here."

Ino nodded looked satisfied. "At least you know you're far out classed." With that she smirked flicking her blonde braid over her shoulder and disappeared into the kitchen. Kiba rolled his eyes, and Sakura laughed.

Walking up to the pinkette Kiba pulled her into a bear hug. "Sakura! I've missed you too!" He cried out grinning as she squirmed trying to get away. "Kiba!" She laughed pushing him away. "You big brute! Let me go would ya?" Kiba gave her one last squeeze before relenting and releasing her. "So where have you been?" He asked strolling into the kitchen, staring wide eyed as a pot stirred itself and a tea cup floated to Ino as she stubborn stared down at the cross word trying not to look over at him.

Sakura unbothered by it all sat down sat the table gesturing for him to take a seat. He did watching Hinata chop up a carrot. "I've been studying medicine in different parts of the world." Sakura shrugged, it was really no big deal to her. "Especially under Lady Tsunade!" Sakura said sudden awe slipping into her voice at the mention of one famous medic. "She was impressed by my skill; it was such an honor to work under her!" Kiba grinned; he knew Sakura had a knack for healing. It was her main gift.

"So you'll be staying here and working in the hospital?" Sakura grinned and nodded. "It's good to be home." Looking over the pink haired girl he let his eyes take in her features as she moved to grab some dishes to set the table. Her hair, completely natural which had made some interesting stories in town, was a rose pink and her eyes were silvery green. It was surprising that all three girls were related when they looked nothing alike.

Ino too, with her blonde hair and silvery blue eyes. And Hinata with her long indigo hair and lavender eyes with a twinge of silver. They didn't look alike but they were Hiashi's daughters. Each from one of his three wives, who had all died in terrible accidents. Ino the oldest who looked like a mini version of her mother. (From what he could tell from the big portrait in the common room) Then Sakura and Hinata, who bore the most resemblance to the man.

"Kiba, if you're done checking me and my sisters out could you help set the table." Ino responded dryly raising her eyes from the paper to stare up at him. Kiba flushed taking looking to Sakura and Hinata who looked awkward at the thought of being check out by their brotherly figure.

"I was not checking you out!" He responded exasperatedly. "I was observing, that two different things." He replied getting up to grab four glasses. Ino rolled her eyes, although Sakura and Hinata looked better now.

"I don't think you even know what the word observe means." Ino commented chewing on the end of her pen. Kiba ignored watch she was doing, from the flash of mischief in her eyes she knew exactly what she was doing.

Scowling he tugged on her braid as he passed and she winked at the broom, causing it to fall and trip him. "What the hell.." He cried out catching his balance in time, holding securely to the cups. "Broken glass everywhere…" Snickered Ino.

"Enough…lunch is ready." Hinata said carrying the large pot of stew to the middle of the table. Until Ino went shopping, this would tie them over. Akamaru barked happily as he trailed the pale beauty, hoping she would give him a treat. Reaching in her pocket she tossed him a small biscuit.

"You're spoiling him Hina." Kiba told her with his mouth full, eating somewhat messily. Ino looked a bit green. "Slow down pig!" Ino scowled taking a small sip of her soup the way a lady should in her mind.

Kiba gave her a wicked smile. "Ino…pig…hm..I'm seeing some similarities." Ino narrowed her eyes wiggling her fingers, and his soup switched to a plate of frog legs. Kiba paled, he hated frog's legs. Pulling one slowly from his mouth he started spitting it back out wiping off his tongue and taking large gulps of water. Sakura was laughing too hard to do much of anything, as she tried not to choke; she too knew how much Kiba hated frogs' legs. "You witch!" Kiba growled shoving the plate away. Ino smirked pleased with her work. "Why thank you."

Hinata smiled slightly at them, use to their antics. She could feel even if they did put up a mean front they cared for each other deeply, nothing was really done with malice. Suddenly Akamaru coward at her feet placing his paws over his eyes. "Akamaru? What is it?" Hinata muttered in concern reaching down to pet the small white dog. As soon as her hands came into contact with him she gasped, scaring the others in the room. Her eyes widen and her mouth dropped open, as she fell to the ground everything in her wound tight and all she could do was twist in pain. "Hinata!" The others cried gathering around her.

Sweat dotted her forehead and she felt as if she was being suffocated by the feelings that crashed into her. Anger, hate, pain, lust so much of it…so evil and twisted that she couldn't help but be overwhelmed. Underneath that lurked the madness. 'He's here! He's here…' Hinata mumbled again and again. Sakura kneeled by her side wondering what she could do, her hands glowing a soft green as she placed one over Hinata's head and the other over her heart. "Her heart beat is out of control, any more and she'll go into shock." Sakura said trying to calm her sister down. Ino placed her hand over Hinata's trying to concentrate on if she could hear why Hinata was being tormented. From…someone's eyes she could see Hinata withering on the ground, watching carefully. It wasn't Kiba or Sakura it was someone else. 'Who..'

"Out of my head you bitch!' The hissed to her kicking her out completely. Ino cried out jerking back, slamming her head off the table.

Kiba grabbed her. "Ino! Are you ok? What happen?" He asked in concern, Akamaru licking her hand. "Nothing" Ino lied. Kiba narrowed his eyes clearly not believing her, and if Sakura heard and knew she didn't mention it.

Hinata moaned in agony, until it disappeared as if those feelings hadn't been there to begin with. Finally her body relaxed and she shuddered wondering what was going on. "She's stable." Sakura told her in confusion moving to help her up. Hinata smiled gratefully and took the glass of water Sakura grabbed for her. "Thanks.." Hinata said as she took her chair again. The sisters stared at each other quietly.

Kiba looked back and forth between them. "Will someone please explain to me what the fuck just happen?" Sakura tilted her head as if silently asking Ino. Ino shook her head slightly and nodded to Hinata who cast her eyes to the floor.

"Any day would be good you know." Kiba growled crossing his arms. "Nothing, Hinata was just overwhelmed by all the feelings around." Ino said sitting back down. Hinata nodded dutifully. When his questioning eyes turned to Sakura she managed to keep a straight face. "Yea." Sighing he rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

The room lapsed into silence. Until of course it was broken by a loud ringing sound. Hinata jumped and looked wide eyed at an apologetic Kiba. Ino rolled her eyes not willing to admit the phone had broken her from an eerie feeling.

"Hello?" Kiba asked into the phone. "Kiba what the hell man!" Someone yelled from the phone so loud he winced pulling his ear away. The girls giggled. "Naruto! I'm not deaf Damnit! You don't have to yell!" He snapped into the phone. Over the phone someone snorted. "Well excuse me, since I've been waiting here, at the airport for an hour for my friend to pick me up." He said sarcastically. Kiba blinked surprised. "What? Dude..you're not supposed to be here til Thursday…"

"Kiba it is Thursday." Both Naruto and Ino said deadpanned. Kiba scowled and flipped Ino off. "Oh man sorry, my girls just got back I've been catching up." There was a small sigh. "Its fine just get here alright?"

Click.

Ino snickered. "Kiba you're an idiot." "Drama queen." He snapped back. Sakura rolled her eyes, snatching up Ino's forgotten word puzzle. "Four letter word for irritate…" The pink haired girl said thoughtfully.

"Kiba." Said Ino with a large grin. Kiba rolled his eyes. This time she'd won. He'd get her yet.

"Don't think so dog boy." The blonde snorted lifting up her magazine. Kiba ignored her kissing Hinata's cheek and hugging Sakura. "By girls, by banshee." Laughing he ran out of the house Ino chasing him down the hall.

Pulling away he grinned, petting Akamaru only to turn green as he spotted one frog leg hanging like an air freshener around his mirror. Tossing it out the window he swore he heard Ino laughing all the way down the road.


Kiba had left hours ago. The sun was just beginning to set and the girls were finally done with their chores. Mostly airing out the house and pulling sheets off of old relics and family heirlooms. Settling down in the 'common room' which was strictly for the girls, done in hues of indigo and soft purples along with a bit of dusky pink. Lounge chairs curved into a semi-circle around the fireplace. On three of the four walls hung portraits of their mothers each looking regal and glowing with happiness. The fourth wall was bear although sometimes they would joke their other sister would walk through the doors and the portrait of her mother would appear.

Entering the room with a large box of chocolates Sakura smiled at Hinata who was resting on the love seat. Behind her a tray of tea floated carefully. Ino groaned moving her arm from her eyes were she laid on the large chair, her legs thrown over the side. "Today was rough." The blonde moaned, leaving her mouth open. Sakura snickered and tossed a chocolate in her open mouth. "Oh quiet pig, we're all tired."

"Forehead…" Her older sister called back half-heartedly. Hinata smiled getting up to start the fire. Sakura snickered sitting on a large pillow by the coffee table. "Hinata…" Sakura asked seriously stirring her tea. "What exactly happen earlier? That was really weird; usually you have better control over your gift." Sakura asked in concern and even Ino looked more awake now, righting herself in the chair.

"I…I don't know." The indigo haired girl told them softly. Staring down into the soft brown color of her tea she tried to concentrate. "It felt so…twisted and evil. But for some reason so familiar. It scares me." She confessed softly. "I don't know what to make of it."

Ino tilted her heard observing her younger sister. "Were these feelings directed at you or one of us? You kept saying He's here too you know." Hinata looked up confused. "I don't know what you mean. I couldn't say anything really I was in too much pain." Ino and Sakura exchanged looks.

"Do you at least remember what your dream was about last night?" Sakura asked cautiously. Hinata stared at Sakura even more confused than before. "What dream are you talking about?" That made the two older girls edgy, how did she not remember screaming herself hoarse early this morning?

"Never mind." Ino muttered sipping her tea, closing her eyes for the moment. One thing was for sure, the house had called them back for a reason. Something was going to happen soon.


End chapter. I know it was short but I felt like this chapter was introducing some stuff so it needed to be done. Anyways, chapter 3 will be coming hopefully soon.
