Here we go for chapter 2...
Hinata sat in the kitchen, waiting for Naruto to come home. It was well after ten at night and she hadn't seen him since earlier that afternoon.
Tori was still out and about herself. This, however, was normal. Naruto being out this late wasn't normal unless there was an emergency.
Suddenly, Hinata heard the front door open. She stood and rushed out of the kitchen to see who it was. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Naruto stood there, leaning against the door, face down.
"Naruto…are you alright?" asked Hinata as she walked over to him.
He looked up at her; his face was serious with a hint of sadness. "Ya…I'm fine."
Hinata placed her hand on his cheek. "No, you're not," she whispered.
"Nothing can fool you, can it?" he sighed, placing a hand on hers.
Both walked into the living-room. They sat on the couch and Hinata waited for him to explain what had happened.
He then let out a long sigh. "It's about Sasuke…"
Hinata's face dimmed a bit. "What happened? Did they find him?"
He shook his head. "No…he found them along with half of Orochimaru's forces." He looked at Hinata. "We lost over a hundred shinobi due to this."
Hinata looked away. "I…I see…."
"There is more."
She looked back at him. "What?"
Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like a scroll. He handed it to Hinata. "This…"
Hesitantly, she unrolled it and read. She looked confused. "What is this?"
"Orochimaru has sent us a list of demands…" He took the scroll and pointed to a certain part.
Hinata read it. "The offspring of my warriors shall be taken back to their rightful land to serve me. Those who abject will be killed and war placed upon their village…" She looked at Naruto. "What does this mean?"
Naruto gulped. He knew Hinata wasn't going to like what he had to say next. "Hinata, it means…Tori will be meeting her father after all…"
Her pale eyes widened. "No…she can't…Not Tori. I won't let her serve that monster!"
"Hinata…please lis…"
"Naruto, you can't make her do this!"
"Hinata, if we don't send her our village will be under attack until there is nothing left!" He quickly pulled her into his arms before she could say anything else. She just froze. "I…I am sorry, Hinata. I love Tori just as much as you do. I don't want to do this either…"
That's when Hinata lost it. Tears burst from her eyes and she burrowed her head into his chest. "Naruto…I don't want…I don't want to let her go….She is the only thing I have left to remind me of…of Sasuke."
"Sh, sh, I know."
She looked up at him. "When? When does she have to go?"
"Tomorrow she has to leave the village."
"So soon…Oh, how could Sasuke allow this to happen?"
"Mom…Naruto?"
They both looked to see Tori standing by the stairs.
"Tori…" whispered Hinata.
She looked at the strangely. "What's going on?" She looked closely at her mother. "Why are you crying?"
Hinata broke free of Naruto and rushed over to her, taking her into a hug. "Oh Tori…how can they let this happen…"
"What?" she asked very confused.
Hinata looked at her with sorrow. "My baby…" She gently brushed some hair away from Tori's face. "I don't want you to…but you have to."
"Mom, what is going on…You are actually scaring me…"
Naruto walked over and placed a hand on Tori's shoulder. "Tori-chan…you are going away…"
"Away? Where?" she asked.
Both Naruto and Hinata looked at each other. Hinata nodded to Naruto.
"The Sound," said Naruto, looking back at her.
"You mean…like a mission?"
"No…" Naruto sighed showed her the scroll. "This was sent to Lady Tsunade today. It…is from the Sound Village. Lord Orochimaru is requesting that all of his warriors' children join him and if they don't, war will happen to their village."
"And, what does this have to do with me?"
Hinata made her look at her. "Tori…your father is Lord Orochimaru's top warrior…"
"Say that again?" she asked in disbelief.
Naruto turned his head away. "Sasuke Uchiha…"
Tori looked at him. "An Uchiha? Is that why I am hated, because I am an Uchiha?" She looked at her mother. "How did this happen?"
"Tori, I wasn't only married to Naruto…Sasuke was married to me as well. You and Yukio were born and..."
Tori held up her hands. "I don't want to hear anymore…" She looked at both of them. "You kept this secret from me my whole life…And now I am being sent off to the most dangerous village to serve the most insane person known to man and see the man who is supposed to be my father…"
Hinata held Tori tighter. "Tori…please don't be angry with us…"
"How can I not be when my fucking life was screwed up every since I was a mere baby…"
"Tori…don't…"
Tori calmed down and took in a deep breath. She looked away from her mother. "When do I go?"
"Tomorrow," said Naruto.
She nodded. "I see…" She pulled out of Hinata's hold. "I'm going to bed…"She turned and walked away and up to her room.
Naruto and Hinata looked at each other. Hinata started to cry again and he held her to him.
This was Tori's last night in the village…tomorrow she was to be an enemy to the village…
Wow...
until next chapter...
