The Fallen Ones

by Alastor The Knowledge Warrior

As he lays there, bloody and dieing will a certain white-eyed girl come to his rescue to help him in the dark or will she too be sucked in. Dark Powerful Naruhina. Rated M for later chapters and maybe a lemon. My first fan-fic. Somewhat re-done

2. Betrayal From Within

*Not much changed in this chapter so if you read it once and still remember it then go ahead and skip to the next chapter.*

I will explain Hinata's past in this chapter and you'll see the meaning of this chapter's title. Also, all the females out there will want to maim me for this chapter because I'm going to make Hashi blatantly sexist, so please forgive me for that and know that I do not think like this because if I did then my girlfriend would have kick my sorry degenerate butt to the curb a long time ago. So please R&R and enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. But soon I will own Kishi because he is up for auction on eBay. For my first act as new owner, I will get Hinata to finally confess her love and for Naruto to become uber-powerful. Just two more seconds… No someone else just took him! Hmmm… the username says Kmoto_owns_Naru - Well kmoto lets retrace you to the source.... username belongs to…. Wait just a second…. that's Kishi! The sneaky bastard just bought himself. Damn so I guess I don't own Naruto…. yet.

Ch.2: Betrayal From Within

One week earlier…

It was a beautiful day outside as a little girl was outside picking flowers from the garden with her mother. "Now Hinata, I am going to tell you a secret to keep flowers like these pretty for a very long time." spoke Hitomi Hyuuga, mother to Hinata Hyuuga, the heiress of the prominent Hyuuga clan.

"But first, we need to find a flower that will complement you." "OK kaa-san, you wait here and I will find the prettiest one in the whole garden." said Hinata stretching her little arms as far as she could and putting as much emphasis on the word "whole", which overall made her look very adorable. Hitomi giggled at her antics "Ok Hinata but don't go too far." Then Hinata went and looked everywhere until she found the perfect flower. A violet rose. "How's this one, I picked it because it reminded me of you, kaa-san?" spoke Hinata full of confidence and brimming with happiness.

Indeed he only flower that could be considered anything close to defining Hitomi was the violet rose as it complimented her choice of wardrobe exquisitely. Add to that the fact the Hitomi had the first ever-lavender shade to her byakugan and had been given the name 'The Violet Storm' for her superior taijustu ability and her use of the elements with her kaiten to create a purple shade to her chakra.

"Oh, that is a very pretty flower Hinata and it will do perfectly." answered Hitomi. Hinata smiled brightly, she loved it when her mother complimented her.

"OK I'm going to teach you one of my favorite things to do, and that would be flower-pressing." spoke Hitomi. She then took the rose from Hinata and as she did, one of the thorns on the rose pricked her finger causing a slight amount of blood to cascade down the rose. She quickly dropped the rose and brought her finger to eyelevel and just staring at the blood flow down her hand. Hitomi then proceeded to use what little medical justu she knew began to heal herself.

"Kaa-san are you alright?" inquired a worried Hinata. The only thing that Hitomi could say in response was "Beware Hinata that is a bad omen when something so delicate pierces another without warning." "Kaa-san what's an omen?" asked Hinata curious as to why her mother was so tense suddenly. Hitomi relaxed ever-so slightly "Oh, an omen is a sign for things to come and what just happened was a bad omen which means something bad is going to take place."

Then just as she spoke those last words, the looming shadow of the ever-scowling clan head appeared. "What is this non-sense you are teaching my daughter, Hitomi?" asked Hiashi, voice full of contempt as he almost spit out the word "daughter". "Well Hiashi, I was teaching our little girl how to be a lady with some recreational activities, such as flower pressing and maybe later how to arrange them." responded Hitomi without any regard to how Hashi spoke but made sure to strain the fact that Hinata was both of theirs and that she was still small. "Flower pressing and arrangement? That is not what an heiress should be wasting her time with, no she should be concerned with practicing the kata that she should have memorized a week ago and studying for the lessons in politics she is to have beginning next week." said Hiashi with little respect for his "wife" and adding a bit of killer intent focused on Hinata when speaking of her failure to memorize the katas for beginner's jyuuken. Hitomi quickly took Hinata from her father's line of sight, covering her with her arms in a protective embrace. "You disdainful man have you no shame using that on a little girl, much less your own daughter?" "If she had done as I told her to do then all that little intent would have done was make her believe that she could be as powerful as me one day and drive her to that goal, much like Neji." Hiashi then stared down at Hinata and continued "But, as I can see by her shaking she is only a weak failure just as I expect from women who lazy about pressing and arranging flowers." Hinata was indeed shaken from her fathers stare and his discouraging words. "Hiashi, I know you are the clan head but, if you ever speak like that to our daughter in my presence again then I will make you see why I am almost as feared as the fourth." growled Hitomi setting off a bit of her own killer intent to clarify the meaning of her threat. "When that time comes, we shall she if you can follow those words of yours, my dearest wife." Hiashi answered smugly "Hinata, I expect you to be in the dojo in 10 minutes for your lessons, if you have time for recreation, than you have time for training." Spoke Hashi in a commanding tone that left no room for questioning before walking away with a slight grin on his face from his small victory. As soon as Hashi was out of range, Hitomi inaudibly whispered out her feelings towards her husband, "I hate that man. I hate him so much."

She then turned towards Hinata and said in a much calmer and sweeter voice but using a commanding tone almost as though she was begging "Hina, please promise me that you will never become like him. I know he is your father but, please Hina please, do not grow to become him, he is the vilest man I have ever known."

Hinata just stared at her mother, she knew that she only called her Hina when she was serious, she then closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said "H-hai, kaa-san, I don't wa-want to be like h-him, I want to be like you" stated Hinata boldly, obviously scared and starting to develop the shutter that would be absolute nuisance of her teenage life.

Hiashi Hyuuga despised his wife and daughter. He hated that his wife was chosen for him. He hated that she gave birth to a girl. A weak, scared, and useless girl that had no place in the clan. In fact the only thing Hiashi did like was what he planned had go so terribly wrong and yet had still worked out to his favor and that Hitomi was once again pregnant with a child, whether that child could be of any use to him would be determined at its birth. Now all that was left was to tie up loose ends that his first plan had failed to foresee. His goals where clear to him and now he just needed to wait until the proper time to execute his plan. Although he was anxious for this to be over with he had waited for the first part of his plan to be completed and now he just needed to wait 9 months for his next plan to unfold. He would wait, after all patience is a virtue that the Hyuuga have mastered.

Hitomi was not one to hold anger at anyone. In fact, she considered herself one of the very few Hyuuga whose heart was not encased in ice. As it was decided when and if the clan's heir could not find a wife or at least be in a relationship with someone then he/she would marry the strongest member of the clan that was the opposite gender so that the clan as a whole could be stronger. She had been angered when they told her that because of the previous clan head's early demise and that the clan heir had not been in any relationships to date that she would have to marry him in order to make the clan seem stronger. She did not protest as there where few that could hold her attention whether it was because they were afraid of her power or because they just stared at her more… pronounced features, she just could not find anyone that could give her the love she was seeking from a man. When she was declared the strongest ninja in the Hyuuga clan, she just felt she was serving her clan's wishes to seem strong. What she did not know was that the heir just happened to be a stuck-up, arrogant prick named Hashi. Hashi, in her first opinion of him was selfish, opinionated, arrogant, sexist and from what she had seen between him and his brother, Hizashi, had very little 'brotherly love'. He proved her sexist theory correct when he first looked at her and in his arrogance said "Humph, there is no way that the Hyuuga's strongest warrior can be a women, there must have been some sort of mistake, but this could work to my favor so just sit by my side and look pretty, like a women shoul- ugh." With those last words Hitomi disappeared from his line of sight with shocking speed and hit Hashi with six jyuuken strikes before he could fall, her famous disabling combo which would paralyze anyone for a minimum of two weeks. One on both arms and legs respectively, and the last one just below the belt, the last hit was not necessary but it made her feel better. Hitomi then said "Hashi, by clan laws I will marry you and you will never speak like that to me again or you'll find that that last hit can be excruciatingly more painful, be glad I withheld a lot of chakra when I attacked." It was at this moment that Hashi's plan was made but first he would "change" so that he could get this woman to do her part of his master scheme.

Little by little the Hyuuga were back up and running after the Kyuubi's devastating attack and Hashi seemed to change in front of Hitomi. They had a beautiful little girl, much to Hashi's displeasure (not that he should show it after all, he is a Hyuuga, impassive is his middle name). Then Hashi went on the trip to Kumo, where he was to settle the situation with their obsession to get the Hyuuga's eyes and their failed attempts to obtain the secrets of the byakugan. He returned and told them that talks had gone smoothly and that they where sending an ambassador to make the treaty official between Konoha and Kumo.

Hinata was asleep in her room when she heard it, the telltale sign that someone was in her room, the squeaky floorboard (insert MASS sweat drop here). She woke up, still slightly drowsy and looked at the intruder, then he vanished and all she saw was darkness as it enveloped her consciousness.

Hizashi had just left his house for his usual night-walk. He always felt calm and relaxed when he could stroll the pathways of the Hyuuga manor without interruptions. He turned the corner to pass by his neices room to make sure she was well. That's when he observed the Kumo nin sneak into her room. He acted quickly and ran towards the young heiresses room to intercept the intruder. As soon as the prowler had taken Hinata pass the wall, Hizashi ran at him and the intruder turned around with a kunai in hand and slashed at Hizashi's head but at almost the last moment Hizashi ducked and pulled his head back causing the kunai to slash his hitaiate with a horizontal gash across the leaf symbol then with a perfectly aimed Jyuuken strike aimed towards his heart and killed him instantly, but he felt that something was off as the perpetrator smirked at him before falling to his death with a shocked expression. That's when Hizashi realized that the guilty party was none other than the ambassador from Kumo, in his hand he held a small metal, aside from the kunai, that had a shine to it even at this dark hour of the night. Hizashi proceeded to grab the metallic object and found a kumo hitaiate. He immediately was suspicious. Why would an ambassador need a hitaiate? He looked towards the body again and searched the carcass of the ex-kumo-nin and found an envelope with the Hyuuga crest on it. When Hizashi opened it he found a very large amount of yen, off the top of his head it was easily over 10,000,000 yen. He then took the money thinking that the would-be assassin had stolen the money and picked up Hinata. "Hizashi, what is the meaning of this?" Spoke Hashi from behind him. Hizashi turned around and came face to face with his brother and then 10 poofs of smoke signaling the arrival of the elders via shunshin. It was then that Hizashi noticed the alarms. "Hashi-sama, we came to aide as soon as the alarm was rung and sensed the use of chakra in the immediate ar--" Broke off a young counsel member as he took in the sight before him. Hizashi Hyuuga, brother to the clan head, father of his prodigy student, Neji, standing with a slashed hitaiate, a large sum of money in hand, the heiress to their clan in his arms, and the ambassador from Kumo dead at his feet. "Hizashi, drop the girl and stand down or we will be forced to use force to subdue you, we can not allow you to shame this clan any further" Stated Hashi in an authoritative voice. "No, this is a misunderstanding, the ambassador was really a Kumo nin out for the Byakugan and I stopped him, brother" Hashi then smirked as he looked upon his siblings hand and saw the cloud hitaiate. "Very likely, and how noble of you Hizashi, but as from where I can see it, my duaghter is unconscious in your arms, there is money from my personal safe in your hand, your forehead protector has the slash indicating your wanting to be of missing-nin status, the ambassador that we've worked so hard to come for treaty negotiations is dead at your feat and you are holding a kumo-nin headband in your left hand!" Hashi paused in his explanation to catch his breath "This coupled with your behavior at the dojo when I was in a personal training session with my daughter and you sent a stong killing intent at her has me to believe that you where planning to betray your name, your village, and worst-of-all your clan!" The elders of the counsel behind him could only nod in agreement and hashi raised his hand in a familiar sign and activated his brother's curse seal. "AAAAAGGGGHHHH" howled Hizashi in pain before he fell unconscious on the floor due to the pain. "No, death is to easy an escape for this traitor, he will live but only because Kumo will demand his blood for the death of their ambassador" spoke Hashi, vioce full of venom as he spoke about his brother's ill fate. He then walked up to his brother and leaned into his ear and whispered "Not exactly how I planned to get rid of you and you filthy status from my family but now I will be able to banish, no even kill that pathetic, civilian wife of yours, and maybe if things go my way, your son as well. Humph this works out so much better." He then rose to his feat and spoke in a voice full of contempt and unheld fury "As far as I'm concerned, I have no brother." He then began to walk away but paused and said "Take my daughter to her room and the traitor to a cell." He then disappeared into the darkness. Two attendents then stepped forward and one carried off the limp form of Hizashi to a holding cell while the other carried Hinata's still unconscious body to her room. Once hinata was in her room tucked in and alone, her eyes shot open and she said as a tear fell down her face and she whispered "Father has killed my uncle" before she shut her eyes and cried into the night.

DUNNN DUN DUN DUUNNN... how's that for a cliffy? well not really since the next chapter has already been released. (0_0*)

Really the squeaky floorboard was never in the original draft but I had a friend re-read this and he said that it seemed to serious and he added his own type of humor into it. It fit and lightened up the downer mood of the story so I left it in. Albert if your reading this - Thanks.
