Ok, first of all, I want to thank EVERYONE who reviewed/faved/alerted on the first chapter! I can't tell you guys how excited (and inspired) I became after reading what you guys had to say, and after seeing how many people faved/alerted this story! I don't think any of my other stories had become this popular so quickly!

Ahem… sorry for the rant!

Anyway, there was one question that came up: "Does this take place during or after the show?" The answer is after.

Now, on with the story!!

Oh, wait, just a little key:

Chapter 1

For the longest time, Hinata Hyuga had known she'd been different from the rest of her family. Her father was a champion black belt in Martial Arts, her cousin—Neji—was extremely close to being one, and her little sister—Hanabi—was well on her way. Hinata, however, was delicate; she was often timid as a child, and would sometimes show this even now, being a teenager.

Hinata had also physically stood out with her family. Her father, little sister, and cousin all had long brown hair; Hinata had short, almost purple colored hair.

Hinata's mother had died a few years after Hanabi was born. Her father had always insisted that she should be taught how to defend herself; it seemed that Hinata was always with him, but she loved her mother like no other. She tried to impress her father by training, sometimes, for hours. But whenever she got hurt, or pushed herself too far, her mother was always there.

Until Hinata was ten, that is, when her mother suddenly died of an illness. Hinata loved her mother deeply, and her death certainly dealt an emotional blow. Then, a year later, Hinata's father started teaching Hanabi how to defend herself. Hanabi, as her father had openly admitted, showed much more potential than Hinata did.

This was also an emotional blow.

But, over the years, Hinata tried to keep up with her older cousin and her younger sister. She finally started becoming good at some of the things her father had tried to teach her. But her father still pushed her to be stronger—to be better.

Finally, the day came that Hinata's father decided to hold a sparring match between Hinata and Neji. Hinata was nervous; Neji was one of the best Martial Artists in her father's dojo, besides her father himself.

Hinata's father stood in the middle of the dojo floor, arms crossed. Neji was on his right, Hinata on his left. "We will go by the usual three-point match." He said calmly. Neji nodded at him and stood in his fighting stance.

Hinata timidly nodded as well and readied herself. She and Neji were both wearing padded cloves and shin guards, and padded helmets as well. Hinata shoved her mouth guard into her mouth and gulped.

"I-I'm ready." She said, trying to sound as confident as possible. Neji put his mouth guard in his mouth.

"Same here." He said.

"P-please," Hinata began, stepping into her own fighting stance, "don't go easy on me."

Hinata's father nodded, and almost smiled at Hinata's confidence. "The point spots are chest, head, and the upper arms." He said, glancing from Neji to Hinata. "Fair fight, you two." He finished. Both Neji and Hinata nodded. Hinata's father raised his hand into the air. "Ready…" He began. Then, dropping his arm and jumping back, he exclaimed, "…Fight!"

Neji rushed in; Hinata gasped in surprise as his arm collided with hers; she'd actually blocked his attack! Hinata tightened her hand into a fist and sent it flying towards Neji's head. He dodged with ease.

Hinata's eyes widened. She's missed, and now, Neji's fist was speeding towards her. Hinata gasped as Neji's fist collided with her upper arm; she fell backwards in an instant; Neji had hit hard. Hinata hit the mat with another gasp.

Neji pulled his mouth guard out of his mouth and ran over to Hinata. "Hinata!" He exclaimed, kneeling down next to his cousin.

"Point." Hinata's father exclaimed.

Neji helped Hinata to her feet. "I-I'm ok…" Hinata mumbled, rubbing her arm. It hurt, but she wasn't about to give up. She glanced over at her father. "I-I'm ready…" She said.

Neji nodded, sighing, and put his mouth guard back into his mouth. He stepped into his fighting stance.

"Ready," Hinata's father said, "Fight!"

This time, Hinata ran at Neji with all of her might, throwing a fast punch at his chest. Neji jumped back and kicked her arm away. Hinata almost lost her balance, but was able to regain it quickly. She let out a quick yell as she wound up for another punch at Neji's head.

Again, Neji was able to dodge. He ducked under Hinata's arm and swept her feet out from under her. Hinata gasped again, and this time, when she hit the mat, she felt that the wind had been knocked out of her.

"Point." Hinata's father said, a little more sternly than before.

Neji pulled his mouth guard out of his mouth again and rushed over to Hinata. "Hinata, are you alright?"

In truth, Hinata wasn't alright. In fact, she felt like she was going to cry. But she couldn't, she told herself, not in front of her father. Hinata sat up and coughed a few times, trying to catch her breath. Neji helped her up again.

"I-I-I'm f-fine." She said shakily. Neji glanced at Hinata's father pleadingly, but his face was emotionless.

"One more point, and Neji wins." Hinata's father stated, almost harshly. "Ready," He said. Neji put his mouth guard back in his mouth once again and stood in his fighting stance.

Hinata coughed once more, and stood back in her stance. She put her hands up firmly in front of her, in defense. She was not going to flat out lose right in front of her father.

She refused.

"Fight!" Hinata's father exclaimed for the third time. Hinata and Neji both let out a yell as they ran at each other. Hinata pulled her fist back tightly. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at her father; he looked disappointed.

Neji ran at Hinata, but instead of punching, he was going to let her hit him. He saw how his uncle looked at Hinata; he knew what his uncle thought of Hinata—noting a few times in which Hinata's father openly talked to Neji about how "weak" she was. Neji was going to "put on a show", that is, he wasn't going to dodge.

Hinata squeezed her fist even tighter as she drew closer to Neji. She was just about ready to punch, when she noticed, just for an instant, that he wasn't in the proper position to block, or dodge.

Suddenly, Hinata grew frustrated. She wanted to do this by herself. So she delayed her attack, for only a second. Neji, surprised, tried to see if he could read Hinata's next move.

But he was too late.

Neji's falter had been Hinata's chance. She felt her heart pound in her chest as she lunged herself forward, yelling out. Neji's eyes widened.

Suddenly, Hinata's fist started to tingle, like it was falling asleep. But, not going to be stopped by that, Hinata squeezed her eyes tight, and launched her punch.

Neji gasped loudly as Hinata's fist collided with his chest. Hinata's eyes flew open. Her whole fist hurt. Suddenly, she cried out as she felt the pain in her hand leave at her knuckles.

Neji was—literally—blown backwards into the wall. The cement cracked on impact, and Neji gasped again, feeling the wind being knocked out of him. Hinata froze, terrified of what she had done. She sunk down to her knees, holding her hand.

Hinata's father, and a few other men in the dojo, ran to Neji's aid. He was unconscious and his head was bleeding slightly. His Martial Arts uniform had been—what looked like—burned away, leaving a hole a little larger than Hinata's fist in the cloth.

Hinata's father, after seeing that the other men tended to Neji, turned to Hinata quickly, his face blood red with anger.

"What did you do?!" He screamed in rage. Tears flowed down Hinata's face.

"I-It was…!" She tried to explain. "I-I didn't mean—!"

"Get out of my sight!!" Hinata's father roared, pointing a finger at his daughter. "Get out!!"

Hinata cried harder, jumped up, and raced out the door. Hinata's father glared at her, teeth grinding.

Hinata ran home and grabbed whatever belongings she could. She shoved them into a few bags and ran out of her house.

She had no idea where she would go, but right now, she didn't care. She had hurt her cousin—almost killed him—and her father was disgusted with her.

The burning in her hands, sending Neji flying, blasting him across the dojo—Hinata was terrified.

"Wh-what's happening to me?!" Hinata exclaimed as she ran down the street, tears streaming down her face. "Wh-what a-am I?!"

At almost the exact same time, in Bayvill, New York, Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the school for gifted youngsters, sat at Cerebro, trying to find the location of two fifteen year old boys who were using their powers quite a bit.

After trying for what seemed like hours, he finally was able to find them. But before he shut Cerebro down, a new mutant trace appeared.

Xavier tried to locate the new mutant through Cerebro. It was a girl, and she was terrified, having just been kicked out by her father.

Xavier confirmed the girl's location, and shut Cerebro off.

"((X-Men,))" Xavier spoke, telepathically. "((I know it's late, but we have an emergency. There is a young girl, a new mutant, who's powers have just appeared, and she may be a danger to herself, and anyone around her.))" Xavier paused, wheeling out of Cerebro. "((Everyone, get suited up… We have a mission.))"
