Chapter 3: Her Past

//Recap//

Hinata finally climbed to the top of the tree where Hoshiya was sitting with her knees under her chin, looking at the stars. "A-are y-you o-okay?"

"No (sniffle)"

"W-well w-what's w-wrong?"

"Well, it all (sniffle) began when I was around 8 years old. Although I lived at the orphanage, my mom was still alive. She just couldn't stay with me. I didn't mind it much because she came to visit me once a week. But all at once she didn't come. I remember that day so well..."

//Flashback//

"Yay! Yay! Mommy's commin'! Mommy's commin'!" yelled a happy brunette 8 year old in a yellow sun dress. She was running down the stairs of an orphanage and out the front door.

"Hoshiya! Don't wander off too far! Your mom should be here any minute!" yelled the orphanage caretaker as the girl ran down the sidewalk barefoot.

"Don't worwy! I'll only go to the front gate!"

"Kids" the caretaker muttered with a smile.

5 minutes... 15 minutes... 30 minutes... 1 hour... 2 hours went by and no one came by. Hoshiya went out the gates to look for her mother. She crossed the street and wandered in the woods.

"Mommy! Mommy! Where are you! Mommy..." Hoshiya's voice trailed off as she grew frightened and began to cry.

"Are you lost?" asked a boy with blue shorts, a yellow t-shirt, and white hair.

"I was looking for my mommy and can't find my way back."

"I'll show you the way back." offered the boy. She nodded, wiped away her tears, and walked over to him. He offered her a piggy-back ride so she wouldn't wander off or get tired. Around 45 minutes later, he finally got her back to the orphanage. "Here we are."

"Thank you very much!" Hoshiya said loudly at the front door so he could hear. Then the boy left after he said bye.

"Hoshiya, where were you? I was so worried!" said the caretaker as she gave Hoshiya a hug.

"Mommy didn't come so I went to look for her."

"Oh I'm so sorry, Hoshiya. I'm afraid you have to hear some terrible news." The caretaker lead her inside to find two policemen in the lobby.

"Hello little girl,we need ask you some questions. First," the officer held up a picture of a woman with long brown hair with and blue eyes. "Is this your mother"

"U-huh"

"I'm sorry to say but your mother is dead. She was murdered last night." Then he held up two pictures. One had a man with blond hair, blue eyes in his thirty's possibly. Another had boy about Hoshiya's age with blond hair and blue eyes. "Do you recognize these people?"

"Never seen them. Why?"

"Well I think you should hold onto these pictures just in case." Then he turned to the caretaker and said "Our business is done here ma'am. Goodnight." Then the policemen left the house.

"Your mother told me to give you this on your birthday but you deserve it now," said the caretaker. She turned got a necklace out of her pocket and handed it to Hoshiya. It had a a miniature (and I mean really small) orb on the chain with something that looked liked the leaf village headband symbol on it. Hoshiya took it, got up, then ran to her room, and cried herself to sleep.

"T-that's so s-sad" said Hinata. "W-would you... um.. l-like to s-stay at my h-house t-tonight?"

"No, I'm fine out here. It's nice"

"I-if you s-say so. G-goodnight"

"'Night." Then Hinata went home, but when she opened the front door she saw an unexpected face.

"S-sora," she said surpised to find him at the Hyuuga mansion.

"Oh, hi, your Hinata right?" She nodded. "Neji invited me to stay until I get a place of my own."

"O-oh, o-okay. G-goodnight," she said and went to bed.

"Sora, your room is this way," said Neji from behind. "Who is this Kairi girl, anyway?"

"Kairi was my friend back on our island. One day she was captured by the heartless. My other friend, Riku, was sucked into the darkness as well. Now I've been traveling world to world trying to find them."

"I'm sure you will. Well, here's you're room."

"Are you sure I won't get lost in this place?"

"You'll get the hang of it soon enough."

"I hope so. Well, thanks and goodnight."

"'Night."

"You can stay here tonight" said Sasuke to Mannen.

"Thanks"

"Whatever"

That was all that was said there that night, which isn't much.

That morning Kakashi was leaning against a tree reading Icha Icha Paradise (I hope I spelled it right) when he heard a rustle above in the leaves. Thinking it was an intruder, he threw a kunai towards the sound.

"Ahhh!" a girl screamed, then she cuaght her leg on a branch before she hit the ground. She was dangling upside down with arms crossed and an unhappy expression on her face.

Another cliffhanger! Hope you liked it! The next chapter will be put up as fast as I can type. Remeber, it's my first fic, so go easy on the reviews. Bye!
