A/N:
Just wanted to add some quick notes. Lily has a kekkei genkai where she can use and manipulate water (a form of Hyoton but she uses water more then the actual ice. She can use Haku's mirrors but likes her own style) kind of like Gaara with his sand. She inherits that from her mom while her dad gave her other powers that I won't mention until later in the story...if at all...
James Tate(Lily's father): He is disinherited by his clan when they find out that he refuses to kill his fiancée(Lillian) because the village despises having another kekkei genkai rivaling their own. He's from the Asakura clan and they also have a kekkei genkai(not telling you yet...but you might guess from this chapter. If you have any guesses then either put it in the review or message me and I'll you if it's right. If you don't I will tell you if you want as long as you try to guess). Tate is an alias...
Lillian Tate(Lily's mother): She's from the same clan that's the same as Haku's mother meaning she also has the kekkei genkai Hyoton. She was also from the water country but on her travels met James and fell in love, becoming his wife.
The two did stay in Kohona while on their travels but more assassins sent from the Asakuras were after them so they moved to America.
The next morning at 5:00 am, Lily jumps out of her bed when she hears the sudden wind. She slowly tiptoes through her room and with one hand on the doorknob and the other full of water(her kekkei genkai) and turns it to reveal...
"Up here," stated a familiar voice when Lily noticed there was no one there until she looked up to see her a man with short messy black hair and piercing blue eyes also known as her dad. He was using chakra on his feet to hang from the ceiling.
"What are you doing here? It's only been a month since I moved out of the house. You don't have to check up on me once every week," stated Lily annoyed as the water in her hand disappears. Her dad appeared next to her then started walking towards the kitchen, which was near the living room.
"Actually we're here for a different reason..." was Lily's dad only response as he stopped. Apparently, he wasn't the only one there. In the living room was Lily's mom and Dave's parents. Dave is one of Lily's best friends. He had shoulder length raven black hair in contrast to his dad's short brown hair and his mom's long blue hair.
Dave was looking just as confused as Lily was when she sat down next to her mom with her dad on the other side. After about five minutes of silence, Dave's dad, Mr. Avalon decided to speak up.
"Lily, Dave...you both know that Lily's parents were our best friends so it wasn't a coincidence that they moved into the house next to ours. There was a reason...you see...before Lillian and James left this village...we promised that our first born child will get married..."informed Mr. Avalon making both Lily and Dave jump up from their seat.
"Are you trying to tell us that we have to get married?!" exclaimed Lily as she started glaring at her parents.
"Yes...and I'm so sorry..." was all Mrs. Tate could say in response to Lily's glaring face.
"But I'm dating Hanabi!" Dave pointed out.
"And I'm dating Gaara!" Lily added.
"It's been decided and we don't go back on our words. I'm sorry," apologized Mrs. Avalon.
"I don't care if it's your ninja way! I love Dave but only as a friend! Besides it was your choice, not ours. Had it ever occurred to you that when we grow up, we would like someone else?" exploded Lily as a dark chakra started flowing out of her.
"Lily Asakura Tate! how dare you speak like that to your parents let alone the Avalons! We've taught you better then that! And calm down!" thundered Mr. Tate as a similar dark chakra emitted out of him. The two started glaring at each other.
"Lily, James," murmured Mrs. Tate as she placed one hand on Lily's shoulder. When she did, a light blue light appeared and the chakra disappeared.
The Avalons were confused on what to do. Lily was still glaring at her father for a few seconds before she bolted for the door and started heading in the direction of the Hyuga compound. When she reached the gate; she remembered her fight with Hinata last night.
"Maybe she'll talk to me," Lily said to herself in a hopeful voice as she knocked on the gate.
"Lily?" questioned a surprised Hyuga.
"Neji!" exclaimed Lily as she hugged her old friend. Neji kind of stood there not knowing what to do since he wasn't used to seeing Lily with tears streaming down her cheeks. Not to mention she didn't really like giving any physical contact especially hugs. He gestured for her to come in after she let go of him.
"I thought you were on a mission," Lily stated as she wiped her tears.
"Just got back. What...I mean is Hinata's still asleep...it's actually strange. It's 6:00 am and she's usually awake by 5:00 am," informed Neji a little awkward. Sure he was friends with Lily but not that close...he could see that she was in some kind of pain but didn't know how to help.
"Oh, that's okay, I better go training anyway. See you later," stated Lily as she bowed and showed herself out. Lily's been to the Hyuga compound lots of times before so she knows the whole house.
'Maybe I could go see Gaara...that normally cheers me up...' thought Lily as she started heading towards Gaara's apartment. When she knocked on the door, there was no answer.
"Both Temari and Kankuro are on a mission...and since Gaara doesn't sleep much...he could be anywhere..." sighed Lily as she started wandering around not really paying attention to where her feet were taking her until she arrived in a park.
"Lily?" questioned a male voice as Lily turned around but didn't see anyone until she felt familiar strong arms around her waist making her blush deeply.
"Gaara!" exclaimed Lily as she turned around to kiss her boyfriend who ended up blushing just as much as she was, wearing his usual black outfit.
"Hm...don't you usually sleep in late?" questioned Gaara when the two sat on the grass with their backs leaning on a tree with Lily's head on his right shoulder.
"Kind of...woke up early today," replied Lily with a thoughtful look. Gaara looked at her knowing all too well the look in her eyes.
"Well maybe you should wake up early more often..." stated Gaara as he started glaring into the distance of his rough past.
"You okay?" questioned Lily when she noticed Gaara glaring face. 'Please...let go of your childhood' thought Lily knowing all too well the look in Gaara's eyes.
"Fine," was Gaara's only response. 'Someone's here,' acknowledged Gaara as Gaara's sand appeared swirling around Lily and him protectively.
"Gaara-san, no need for that. The Hokage has requested to see you," stated the ninja once he appeared making Gaara stand up.
"Hmph..." was Gaara's usual cold response as he sent Lily a sorry kind of look. She responded with a shrug but then walked up to him and hugged him.
"See you at seven," Lily whispered into his ear as she started to disappear.
She reappeared on the training grounds. Seconds later, Lily started attacking one of the dummies there when someone tapped on her shoulder. She spun around sending a punch at the figure who quickly dodged and tried to trip Lily who jumped away. She grabbed a bunch of kunais and threw it at the mystery person who in turn sent his own kunais until they clashed.
