They all stared at her, and she did not know what to think about them. Their attitude was not hostile for which she was relived. But she couldn't shake the thought that they are not friendly at all. She was scared and tired, her eyes hurt her, and now she was getting more and more worried. She tried to stand up but her legs failed her, she tripped and she would have fallen to the ground if not for the girl. She ran up to her and helped her up, but for Hinata the whole situation was too much to bare, soon it all turned black.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shit! What now?"

"Well we cannot convince her to go back now, she is in no condition to return from where she came…"

"Taking her home is not an option as well, and we can't just leave her here…."

"Well there might be a way… She is a Hyuuga, and look at her hair it's blue! I think you all know what that means… I think we can take her with us. She needs medical attention and the situation needs to be resolved."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She woke up in darkness. She had a huge head ache and she felt hungry. She reached out to identify where she was but soon a gentile hand helped her up. Someone turned on the light and handed her a glass of water. She looked up to the same eyes as she had. Hyuuga eyes, she was looking into the eyes of the same girl she saw on the path.

"Carefully, I'll bring you more water soon, now you need to drink this medicine" she said handing her another glass with something orange in it.

"Where am I?" Hinata asked.

"You're in my room" came the answer.

Hinata slowly took a look around the room she was in. There were two twins beds near each other, the room was painted in red flowers, the curtains were light pink, it was big but cozy at the same time. She had no doubt it was the girls room. There were a lot of books on the floor pilled up, and a lot of plants and flowers.

"Why am I here?" she asked.

"You fainted on the path, and we decided that taking you in was the only option. You needed medical attention, and we just couldn't leave you there. It's against the rules to bring strangers into the village but as you are a Hyuuga we decided to make an exception."

"What happened to me?"

"Well you've been unconscious for almost three weeks. Our doctor identified that you had a byakugan failure and inflammation. So the treatment was long and risky but we've managed to beat it."

"A Byakugan inflammation?"

"Yes, it happens sometimes when a person over pushes the byakugan, in your case the reason for it was that your byakugan type does not match the techniques you used. So when you forced it to see in a larger distance it failed. You were lucky we were there, and you were lucky that you are here, I think there are no other doctors in the world who know how to deal with byakugan illnesses."

"What's wrong with my byakugan?"

"Well fortunately for you help came in time, so nothing is wrong now. We managed to save your byakugan and your eye sight."

"My eye sight?"

"Yes, one of the possible consequences of untreated or wrongly treated byakugan illness is blindness. We had cases like that in the family. That's why I can't use my byakugan, it's too weak and if I overuse it I might…" Tears came into the girls eyes, Hinata held her hand tighter into hers.

"You said something about byakugan types, what do you mean?"

"There are three byakugans, one is the classical most common one, and there are two more, some people are natural born to use the other two, but they need to be taught how to do it. If a person having a more advanced byakugan uses the basic he might loose the advanced version."

"Advanced version?"

"Yes there are two one is the tribyakugan and the other is the slybyakugan. A person born naturally will seem to have a weak normal byakugan but in fact the other version can be very strong. You have a strong slybyakugan that's why your normal is weak and that why when you pushed too hard your normal byakugan failed. You were really lucky…"

"How can you tell which byakugan I have?" Hinata whispered.

"You're hair… All blue haired Hyuuga are slybyakugan users. You did not know that?"

"No, no one in my family uses any other byakugan, and no one in my family had blue hair expect my mother…"

"Your mother? What was her name?"

"Her name was Harumi Hyuuga."

"Harumi? Well then it explains it all…" The girl whispered to herself.

"If your mother was Harumi then we are almost like sisters!" The girl smiled to her. "Harumi Solano –Hyuga was the half sister of my grandfather!" she said.

"What's you name?" Hinata asked.

"Oh sorry silly me! My name is Halante Solano-Hyuuga. Nice to meet you Hinata." She smiled.

"Nice to meet you too Halante" Hinata smiled back.

"Do you want something to eat?" She asked. Hinata nodded her head.

"Ok give me just a minute I'll go get something." She smiled and ran out of the room.

Hinata had a minute to consume the information she was just give. Slybyakugan, she wondered it sounded nice. It sounded strong.

She looked outside the window it was very dark, it must have been the middle of the night. She wondered if Konoha had sent someone to search for her. Three weeks, she was to return to Konoha a week ago, so it would take at least one more week before a team would be sent to find her.

She could feel her head pound, all this stress was a bit too much for her, so she was very grateful when Halante came back with two sandwiched and some sleeping pills.

When Halante gave her a glass of water to swallow the pills she noticed something. She moved her hand towards Halante's fringe and reveled what was hidden normally, the curse mark. Halante smiled sadly at her. She smiled back, it didn't matter to her, even if she had the curse mark she still was a girl who deserved her respect.
