Revenge's Acquaintance II
All reasoning ceased throughout Hinata's mind, her heart raced as she charged, without a plan and pure rage and adrenaline pumping throughout her veins. She was in front of the ruby damsel, byakugan at it's peak pulsing and ferocious. Power surged to her hands igniting her "Twin Lion Fist," she swung at a vital area, and instead of the redhead taking the hit per usual, she dodged it. Something was different about the way Hinata fought that made the woman have to dodge the strike. The woman glared a wrathful gaze towards Hinata, her fist was engulfed in a ferocious red flame, and she smashed it into Hinata's abdomen. Everything stopped, the woman's fist sat in Hinata's stomach, Hinata prepared to attack but before her hand could reach the woman's chest, a trail of blood dripped out of Hinata's mouth and down her chin. Hinata felt herself being shook at her very core, and the blast of the woman's fury finally set in, Hinata felt her insides being torn apart. A sonic boom pounded, shaking the very grounds of the Hyuga garden, the sound took life as a fiery red circle appeared behind Hinata and she felt her body being pulled far, far away from the woman. Hinata's body flew at an incredibly fast speed, faster the speed of light even, through the gates of the Hyuga residence, though houses of the village and into an abandoned alley.
The wall behind Hinata crumbled away, as she attempted to raise to her feet, so many bones had been crushed, the simplest task couldn't be completed. Hinata agonized, as her bloody hand repeatedly slipped off of the ruined surface. In the blink of an eye the wrathful wrench stood before Hinata, she strut her way to her, and bent over, face-to-face with Hinata. She leaned in closer, beside her ear and whispered to her, "See what the true power of wrath can do?" She picked Hinata up by her throat and squeezed it hard. The woman's eye's turned ablaze with a roaring fire, as she stared deep into Hinata's eyes. The woman was ready to end it all and snap her neck, she shook her head, remembering her task. "No, I've completed my mission already." The woman let Hinata go and strutted off towards the opposite end of the alley. Just before she exited she spoke, "Heed my word Hyuga, know that those dreams were more than what they seem. They weren't just nightmares, they were visions of what's soon to come." The woman paused, and used this time to pop her neck. "I was sent to learn your strength, and trust me honey, you have a lot of training to do if you have any chance for what's in-store. Or else the consequences are going to be dire." With that she vanished, leaving a dazed, and broken down Hinata behind.
A resident of a destroyed home rushed to where they heard the final loud bang, they found Hinata laying on the ground covered in blood. "Hinata!" Hinata looked up blood and hair obscuring, what she thought to be, pink hair? Then Hinata gave away to the darkness, feeling a sense of defeat sweep over her.
A woman dressed in a firm fitting purple dress, strut her way into a dark cave, where she found a person in a fetal position on the ground. She gasped and ran over to her, the person raised her head, revealing a blood stained face and dry, dead eyes. "Help me, please?" The girl struggled to get out.
"You poor thing," the woman's expression of sympathy changed to a void of emotion look. "Now, why would I help you," then she looked deadly, "when I'm the one who put you here." The woman's face became indiscreet, withholding flaming eyes, and fiery red hair. The woman smiled, and pulled out a kunai and stabbed at the girl, before the blade could make contact Hinata woke up screaming.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Hinata jumped up, subconsciously sending an air palm out of her hand as she jumped up. Hiashi held his palm out, in front of him, ceasing the air palm altogether. "Father! I'm so sorry..." Her voice shrunk as she lost her conviction for apologizing. He stared at her stopping all words, his presence demanded for obedience without him having to speak.
Hanabi stepped out from behind Hiashi, her hands held in front of her. Her hair stretched down to her stomach, and she seemed to mature so quickly, her body filling out and another growth spurt was evident as well. She wore Chunin apparel, advancing quicker than Hinata ever did. Hinata felt tears at the brim of her eyes, but fought hard trying not to let them spill out.
"Hinata, are you well?" Hanabi asked, looking at her with concern daunting her face. Hinata nodded avoiding eye contact with the both of them, she couldn't bare, being such a miserable existence of a person. Hanabi held her head down, she hated how she always made her big sister feel, it rubbed her the wrong way.
"Hinata," Hiashi started, while looking at her, suggesting for her to make eye contact. She raised her head looking at him, fighting to not seem so weak, but she was in a hospital, damaged severely. "I have made plans to alter your training regime after you take your leave from the hospital." He stated, then left the hospital abruptly, not even asking if she was okay.
The curtain to the bed, beside Hinata slid open, revealing a seething Neji. "What is wrong with that man? How can he treat you like that, all the time!" Neji's byakugan had a mind of it's own, pumping chakra into his eyes, rapidly.
"It's fine Neji, I'm used to it, really." She smiled at him, calming him down. He laid back looking up at the ceiling, Hinata took in all of his wounds. Neji seemed to be in a better situation than herself, she ached just attempting to look over at her cousin Neji.
Neji sat up, looking across his bed at Hinata, "she was the woman from your dreams?" He questioned looking at her concerned, an opponent like that, that is a monster on the the battle field, must've been something on a completely different level in the dream world.
"Yes, I had no idea my nightmares would come true. I'm petrified that her next move, is going to kill someone." A single tear ran down her face, and Neji cursed himself for not being able to get and move over to her.
"Don't cry Hinata! She said you would have to get stronger, that means you actually have some time before you have to deal with another round with that monster." This muffled anymore noise of hopelessness coming out of Hinata, and this put Neji at ease.
"Will you help me train? No, I need everyone to help me train." She said with resolve.
"Why do you need everyone's help if you don't mind me asking?" He looked intrigued, while waiting for Hinata to answer.
"There wasn't just her, there were 6 others, not including the leader." Neji's vision went hazy, she just said there 6 others like the woman, he didn't know if he would be able to handle it. If they were that powerful, than what would the leader be like?
"We're definitely going to need help." He stated in agreement with her.
"We'll help!" Suddenly everyone burst through the door: Sakura, Ten-Ten, Kiba, Ino, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Rock Lee, Karin, Sasuke, and even Naruto.
Hinata's face turned beet red and she passed out. Everyone ran to her side, making it worse by putting all of the attention on her.
Neji chuckled, and the group turned, had Neji just laughed? "Oh really! Am I not allowed to feel emotions?" Everyone had a big laugh and went to Neji's bed.
"Oh Neji!" Ten Ten cried out as she hugged his legs.
"Neji!" Rock lee joined Ten Ten in the leg hugging.
"You guy's are too much." Neji said as he looked away, his face blushing. Everyone laughed at his expense, it was nice to all hangout before everything took a turn for the worst.
The group spent the rest of the time discussing their training regime, and how they were going to help Hinata fight such a tough opponent.
"What as the person like from last night?" Shikamaru asked, looking at Neji.
"She had red eyes and red hair," Neji started until he saw the group turn towards Karin.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me! The one time the enemy has red hair and eyes, it's me?" She said ready to break someone's face in.
"It's not her, I had her on a mission at the time the attack happened, she was in a whole other village, altogether." The Hokage stepped in the room asking for Sakura's help, and then they were gone.
Hinata awoke to find that the group was still there, it brought a smile to her face. "Hello guys," Hinata started looking at them.
"Hey!" Everyone replied in unison.
"So, when do we start practicing?" Hinata asked, impatient for their answer.
"Next week," Naruto stepped forward offering a smile.
"What! That's too long I'll never be ready in time." She plead looking at Naruto's stern, convinced face.
"We have to give you time to heal, and prepare for the grueling physical toll that your training is going to take on your body." He reasoned, and Hinata agreed, she had her body basically destroyed, and she had to give it time to heal.
"So what am I supposed to do for a whole week?" She looked at the group, and smiles daunted their faces.
"We're going to hang out of course!" Naruto said, grinning wide.
The week went by in no time, each day was something different, from going to a sauna, to swimming, to bowling, to going to the movies, and even a spa day. Of course not to forget, the times that Neji, Hanabi, and Hiashi trained Hinata, honing her perceptive skills. Today was their last day before training, and they were all going out for makeovers, even the boys. No one was sexiest in the group, and the guys figured it, couldn't be too bad.
They all met up outside, "Beauty And Beyond," ready to look different and hopefully for the best.
They stepped inside and were greeted by a receptionist, who was surprised to see such a big group.
"May I help you?" He said, looking baffled. The guy wore a scarf, a black turtleneck and had his hair swept to the left, covering his eye.
"I called in a week ago, booking for a group session." Sasuke stepped forward speaking.
"Of course." The guy's eyes lit up, eyeing Sasuke's glorious looks. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke and kissed his lips, hard.
"Sorry, but he's taken." Naruto smiled, clearly pissing the guy off.
A vein popped in Sasuke's head, and he turned around and punched him in the head. "What did I say about shit like that!"
"Ow! What was that for?" Naruto grabbed his head in pain, he knew Sasuke didn't really want to hurt him, but it hurt all the same.
"Hm," the man cleared his throat, "well anyways, right this way." The group all went into the waiting area, which was fancy; all of the couches were black, and smoothe. The weren't too hot or cold to sit on either.
"Nice choice, Sasuke." Sakura said sitting down and feeling herself melt into the cushions.
"We're ready for, A Miss Haruno, Yamanaka, and Uzamaki." Karin, Ino, and Sakura all got up and left to the chairs.
"That was quick," Ten Ten said, looking at the girls with jealousy. She wanted to go first.
Soon after internally complaining a woman with a clipboard came up to the group. "Ten Ten, Nara, and Hinata," the three of them jumped up and walked off to a different area of the salon.
The members of the group left quickly, soon everyone was in a chair, getting their hair washed, then dried and styled.
In no time everyone was freshly trimmed, and styled looking just flawless. Everyone stepped out of the building, in a line: Sakura, Ino, Ten Ten, Karin, Choji, Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba, Rock Lee, Neji, Sasuke, Naruto, and then Hinata.
Sakura, had her hair, shortened above her neck. Her bangs were swept to right and teased sensually. Her hair had a certain volume about it that made the ends have a sharp jagged expression to it. It was a daring cut that gave a strong edge to her.
Ino had her blonde hair dyed out, to a soft luscious brunette color. It wasn't dark brown but a very light chest nut, with highlights. She had it trimmed to a little bit above her elbows, and her bangs were trimmed as well. She went for a glamorous look that gave her an approachable facade.
Ten Ten's hair had grown quite long and was down to the middle of her back before it was cut. There was so much hair, she got it thinned, and cut, short. She got her head shaved, up until the upper tip of her ear. There she had her hair dyed to a darker brown color, and it was cut short as well. Her bangs swept in her face, giving her a bold look, that had it's masculine approach, but feminine finesse.
Karin came out with a blonde color, a golden blonde like Cinderella. She got it layered as well as, bleach blonde highlights. Her bangs, were slightly cut at the ends to give them a swoop affect, that helped keep them out of her face. Her hair sat in a high ponytail, that stretched down all the way to her butt. She attained a sexy look that captured beauty and sex appeal.
Choji decided he wanted a new approach to his hair, so he got it cut to the middle of his back, and dyed it black. His bangs were pinned, bringing a new shape to his face, yet graced by delicate eyes.
Shikamaru, grew his hair long, and kept it in a ponytail, when it was taken out, it stretched a little bit past his shoulders. So it got trimmed, and straightened all the way, it was a little bit above his shoulders and had a soft silky look to it. It was kept out of ponytail to give a refined look to the man.
Shino decided to have his head shaved like Ten Ten's but kept the part with hair, spiked up giving a dangerous, and ominous look about him.
Kiba sought a more, mature look and got his hair straightened and swept to the right side. His bangs were trimmed, causing them to take a spiked up look, giving him a male model look.
Rock Lee kept the bowl cut look, but shaved his sides, for a more dramatic approach to the bowl cut.
Neji dyed his hair jet black, and got it trimmed to the middle of his back. His bangs stayed long and flowing, giving a gentlemanly beauty look to him.
Sasuke kept his hair in the duck cut, but dyed it a deep, dark blue color. Bringing out the sexy milky white skin tone he always kept.
Naruto stayed true to his heritage with his blonde locks, but he got it straightened and pressed, causing it to stretch down to his shoulders. He got it trimmed past his ears, and had it the front spiked, and the back shaved. He went for a different aspect of the spikes, giving a long expression in the front, but a stoic, short precise mention in the back.
Hinata was the last, she had the back of her hair cut, up to her shoulders, and her sides stayed long, but trimmed. The back was layered, and silky smooth and flipped in towards her neck. She had her long sides, stretching down to her belly button, curled and twisted, and her bangs as well. Giving a new, different kind of sex appeal to her.
Everyone went out for dinner at Ichiraku's, Naruto's pick and enjoyed themselves, and their new looks. The final moments had come and everyone left, ready for tomorrow, but sad knowing that the circumstances would go from loving, to dire.
Hinata and Neji walked, and just before getting home, a woman stepped around the corner with long red locks of hair, and a smirk on her face. Neji shot an air palm and the woman stopped it with her hand. "Tsk, tsk. I thought we had already been over this, you're not strong enough to defeat me." She said, eyeballing them. "Cute hair cuts though," a grin filling her face up.
"What do you want?" Hinata asked, tired of the harassment from the woman.
"I came to warn you, you're running out of time, and we've only just begun planning how we're going to torture you, and this miserable village. From your father, to him! Each and everyone of you will feel pain out of this world." Her foot crushed the ground beneath her, as she walked away, and leapt into the moonlight.
Hinata and Neji looked at each other, the situation had became dire, too quickly.
