Chap.2

She felt a pair of arms carrying her, she tried to struggle from their grasp but they held tight. She flinched in pain as the wound on both her shooulders opened, they sighed and said, "Hinata-sama you shouldn't move or you'll end up hurting yourself. Her eyes fluttered open to see Neji carrying her. She smiled at him "I c-can take c-care of myself, thank you Neji-nii-san" he reluctantly put her down. She thanked him and they continued to walk, Hinata limping along the way

'I won't be a burden to them anymore, I can take of care myself' Neji saw this and placed her arm on his shoulders to support her "You shouldn't push yourself Hinata-sama" she frowned "I c-can take care of myself Neji" noting the missing honorific he looked at her confused "Is there something troubling you Hinata-sama?" They had reached her room and he still awaited an answer, she held onto the frame of the door to support herself, her back to him. She gave him a light smile "No, n-nothing. Everything is j-just fine" before closing the shoji door behind her. He sighed he knew she'd lied but decided to let it by, She'd tell him sooner or later.

She didn't bother changing and limped herself to her bed,before plopping down on it. Fingering the bandages on her stomach and tested out her now healed arm she smiled to herself remembering her father's words, she finnaly had his awknowledgement if only a little of it. What puzzled her was the foreign chakra that had surrounded her and how it got into her chakra system, also the figure that appeared in her mind 'so much power' She continued this for an hour while looking at her ceiling. Finding no answer she sat up and decided to go out for a walk.

She quietly opened her window and snuck out,when she landed on the ground she resisted the urge to scream as the wounds on her thighs opened. Cursing herself she stalked of towards the village. As she past the stores she found one that caught her eye,while she looked through the window she wondered 'Lee-san is strong and fast with his weights, maybe I should get some weights?' making up her mind she ran inside the weapons shop making the bell ring. She looked around before noticing that noone was at the counter, she then went to look around. Shurikens, kunais, staffs she listed them off still not finding anything. She sighed before spotting something on a shelf they were a pair of arm guards where you putthe weights in the little slots she tugged on it,but it wouldn't budge. She pulled harder and it finnaly let go, but she immediately regreted it when she collapsed from the immense weight.

She then heard a voice call out"Hello,is anyone in here? Were going to close soon!" she struggled to her feet, heaving the arm guards in her arms,she walked to the counter and saw her cousin's teammate. "Tenten-san?" the girl with buns smiled at her "Hello Hinata-chan, how have you been lately?" she gave her a small smile "j-just fine a-and yourelf?" the girl shrugged "good I guess" when she saw what the girl was carrying she quickly went to aid her. "Ne Hinata-chan, what do you want these for,you know you can get gravity seals instead right?" she looked at the girl with wide eyes,which only made her giggle

"If you want, I could teach you?"she offered

Hinata looked at her trying to see if she was lying, finding nothing she smiled warmly at the chocolate haired kunoichi "I-I would like that, arigatou Tenten-san"

"Okay you make the signs boar,monkey and rat and press you index and middle fingers against the limbs you chose to put them on and while expelling chakra think of the desired weight you want. That's pretty much it, Hinata-chan I think you should start at 10 pounds first and work your way up, is that okay with you cause you shouldn't push yourself" Hinata stared a Tenten's now heavy arm laying on the counter

"T-that's just fine w-with me, a-arigatou Tenten-san" the older girl looked at her confused before laughing, "Hinata-chan you can call me Tenten or Tenten-chan, the 'san' makes me sound old and we are friends right?"

She looked at her with disbelieving eyes before a huge grin appeared on her face, "H-hai Tenten- sa... A-no Tenten-chan" Then scrunching up her face in concentration she performed the necessary signs 'Boar, monkey, rat' pressing her fingers to her arm she expelled a bit of chakra, she repeated a small mantra in her mind '10 pounds, 10 pounds, 10 pounds' before her arm fell limply to the side. "See I told you start at 10 pounds, but if you're still having trouble you should use some of chakra to strenghthen your arms so you can get used to it"

Then she noticed something "Ne, Hinata-chan. What's that thing on your arm?" the heiress took a glimpse and was awestruck when she saw the kanji for fox on her arm in a dark blue. "N-nani?" she fingered it and she could feel the same powerful chakra from before escaping through it 'That chakra, w-what is it?' She couldn't ponder on this long though. Tenten waved her hand in front of her face with a look of concern "Helloo earth to Hinata Hyuuga, anyone home?" she sighed in relief when the Hyuuga blushed

"That's good I thought I lost you there, Neji would never forgive me if anything happend to his cousin." shaking her head lightly she asked the older girl "D-did I do something wrong Tenten-chan?" Tenten rubbed her chin in thought "I'm not sure Hinata-chan, maybe it has something to do with your chakra? Cause you performed the seal perfectly, so I can't find anything wrong with it" Hinata gave her a weak smile 'She's probably right' but not wanting Tenten to worry she decided to ask another question "A-ano Tenten-chan, how d-do you cancel it?" She watched the older girl wack herself on the head and couldn't help but giggle

"Sorry about that Hinata-chan I guess I forgot" now scratching the back of her head a light blush on her cheeks

The younger stifled a giggle "T-that's okay Tenten-chan, so you gonna show m-me?"

"Sure!" she placed her hand in a familiar seal and said "Kai!" she watched as the girl flexed her now light arm "See piece of cake, now you try!"

Nodding she made the sign 'Kai' she stared at the kanji as it started to smoke before bursting into flames 'W-what's wrong with me?'

"Sugoi! That was so awesome Hinata-chan, you gotta teach me that sometime!" looking at the older kunoichi who had been staring at where the seal used to be, she smiled. 'She kinda reminds of Naruto-kun' realizing what she had been thinking she blushed scarlet, confusing the weapon's mistress "Hinata-chan what's wro-" an evil smile formed on her lips, scaring the heiress "You're thinking about him aren't you?"

The Hyuuga girl was shocked to say the least "I h-have n-no i-idea w-what you a-are talking about" this only made the other girl laugh "W-whatever you say Hinata-chan, but if you ask me you guys would make a cute couple" this made the girl blush a darker shade of red only to make the girl laugh harder.

Coming back to reality she made up her mind to leave before the girl made anymore comments about her 'not so secret' crush. "G-gomen Tenten-chan but I have to get g-going, h-how much d-do I owe you?" said girl only shoved her out the door "Nope! It's on the house, see ya around Hinata-chan!" Hinata could only wave with a smile "A-arigatou Tenten-san!" she called back. She looked towards the Hokage monument and noticed the sun had gone down and the moon was now in the sky. She quickly ran to the training grounds.

She scanned through her surroundings, she relaxed. The village's training grounds were nothing like the Hyuuga training grounds, at her family's training grounds the cold eyes of the elders were always on her but here she couldn't care less what anyone else did. She quickly went through the hand signs and placed it on her arm, she sighed when the same kanji formed on her arm before going through the seals again and placing them on her other arm including both of her ankles each of them having the same kanji. She focused a fraction of her chakra to her ankles and arms before doing a series of stretches trying to get used to the weight.

Feeling a bit more comfortable with the new weights, she got into her fighting stance and activating her eyes she ran forward all a bit slow than her usual speed and using the 64 palms of hakke she attacked the wooden post. While delivering the deadly blows on the wooden post she could feel someone's eyes on her, stopping in the middle of an attack she turned to face her guest.

Bringing out a kunai she stared of into the thick forest her kekkei genkai still flaring "Show yourself!" someone dropped out of the tree and approached her "About time I was there for almost 5 minutes" she observed the figure as it came out of the shadows they were a head taller than her,she lowered her kunai and relaxed.

"I didn't expect you to be out here Hinata-san"
