Hmfan24- Decided to divided up…
Shikamaru- You're not lazy you're selfish.
Hmfan24- No, the lazy part is I fell out as soon as I finished the last chapter. I don't like updating, the process is just-
Shikamaru- troublesome? Yeah…
Hmfan24- There will be intermissions… This story is to all the teenagers out there, warning them not to run away. Plus…there will be a t-rated…giggles I won't talk now.
Shikamaru - You know Neji won't be pleased.
Hmfan24- Shut up, you're going to get two girlfriends in a future fic of mine. So be happy.
Shikamaru – Why, romance is so troublesome.
Hmfan24 – I do not care. Everyone like Texas Native, Kelly Clarkson, right? LET'S BEGIN!!!
It All Falls Down
Hinata POV
Grew
up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just
stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up
happy
I would pray
"Hiashi – sama will be with you in a minute." A brown haired Hyuuga seemed to have a sympathetic look on his face just as most of the branch Hyuugas do.
If Father wants to test my ability, I must make the best of my time and train.
Neji just happened to interrupt my plan as he threw a kunai toward my head. Fear struck my heart when I turned around to his face, "Neji-niisan, w-what's wrong?"
He sighed and looked down, "I'm sorry, Hinata-sama, Hiashi-sama's orders were to fight you to the brink of death." He looked back up with tears in his eyes.
"I-I-I can't please, Neji, I don't want to fight you." I broke down on my knees, "You could k-kill me like last-…"
"No, I won't, last time I had the hatred in my heart. Remember this, Hinata, you cannot fight with hatred, but with the empowerment of love. And only with love, will you develop the ultimate courage to prevail. Prevail with the loved-ones who care, with those who protect you, with those who you truly love. Without that being your source of power, you will fall every time." Neji pulled the kunai from out the fall.
I flinched at what he might do next.
"I love you as a sister Hinata. However, my duty to the Hyuuga clan urges me to complete my mission in punishing you for you weakness." He picked me up by the collar, activating his Byakugan.
Trying
hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no
one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so
wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away
Tears poured out of my eyes, he was going to kill me. My breath quickened as he whispered into my ears, "After I am done, Hiashi-sama plans to disown you and rid of your Byakugan. You will not even get the benefit of living with the branch family, yet you will be either executed or thrown into the street."
I held my breath as he brought the kunai to my neck, some of the skin already bleeding, "P-Please, Neji."
No one was here to hear me scream. It was all too surreal, just…
My body dropped from his grip, my body sprawled across the floor. Neji bent down so we had eye contact.
"Runaway, Hinata-sama." A frown spread across his face, "This life is not for you. Your talent is not where they put you. Breakaway, leave, Hinata-sama, I, nor many other people can bear to see you in this state. Breakaway from this life, for it is not your own."
He lifted me up and opened a near by window. The sudden chill from the snow came in. His lips met my forehead as he said, "Keep safe, Hinata-sama, find a better life."
(hmfan24- I'm too close to my cousins to write incest though, my cousin did kiss my forehead, nothing more and I did kind of have a crush on my cousin in prison not enough to you know…)
He put me on the window seal and let me jump out, taking one final glance before shutting the window behind me.
I failed to look back. He told me to breakaway, breakaway from the life of an heiress. Where could I go? No one would know.
I went back to my tent. My biggest aspiration was to raise a nice, loving family. Naruto is who I would visit tomorrow. I needed to begin my brand new life!
There was a skip in my step as I began writing what I would say.
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes
till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a
change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But
I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a
chance,
Make a change, and break away
Sasuke POV
Training with the old man could sometimes be a pain in the ass. He always licked his lips when we came in contact. Scares the hell out of me each time.
"Will you stop it, Orochimaru-sensei?" I shouted, seeing him licking his lips again sickened me to the core.
Orochimaru let out a chuckle. Damn, I called him sensei. He knows. He's too damn old to not know.
"Who is she?" he did know.
I smirked, "Who?"
Orochimaru sat down on a log, and then tapped the seat next to him. I twitched, "HELL NO!" No way was he going to play fatherly figure. Last time he did he ended up hugging me.
He cracked his neck, "Fine, Sasuke, I suggest you pursue this girl. Brings up a good point, regenerating the clan anytime soon? Why don't you bring her to me so I can take a look at her?"
"I just met her – what makes you think it was a girl? I didn't meet anyone." I sighed. The cat was out of the bag. He lifted a mocking eyebrow.
I just continued, "It's a weird connection I just met her. I don't know I just feel weird around her. I don't need to worry about regenerating the clan, last time I checked Itachi was a pimp. He has at least one child in each shinobi village. That's not what's on my mind right now."
"I'm sure you can woo her. Like I said, bring her over." He poofed away in a cloud of purple smoke.
Damn sensei ran away.
I came back to my home to see Hinata crying across the river.
There was a sudden urge for me to ask her. She could get sick out in the snow.
"Are you going to bed?" I looked up at he tear stained face with no emotion. She failed to look me straight in the eye, sobbing quietly.
I was tired, it was late, I wanted sleep, but I felt the need to comfort her greatly, "You want to talk?"
She shook her head now.
How dare she have the courage to say no to me, yet I seemed to like it. She sneezed, obviously growing sick.
"Hurry up and tell me; you better be glad I give a damn! Now talk!" my yelling didn't seem to help her crying as she sobbed louder.
She looked up into my eyes. To see the terror, fear, and sorrow in her face made me feel a wave of regret. I rarely felt regret, but to see her in that condition just didn't feel right, "Sorry, Hinata, I didn't mean to hurt you. Um, tell me what's wrong so I can…uh…help you."
Man, I've never said sorry this many times in my life to one person. Let alone a girl. I'm getting way too soft. This isn't me.
"The clan they want to disown me. Possibly execution, but Neji told me I should run away and start a new life. I want to start a new look with Naruto. I can't… I don't… I'M NERVOUS ABOUT TELLING NARUTO I LOVE HIM." The tears poured out of her eyes like the waterfall we were near.
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes
till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a
change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But
I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a
chance,
Make a change, and break away
Sigh, I knew Naruto still had strong feelings for Sakura. She would get her heart broken, "…don't."
Hinata's tears came to a halt as she looked up at me, straight into the eye, "Naruto's all I have left. I… love him."
"I've seen you watch him, Hinata, you do NOT love him. He definitely won't accept you. Besides, there is someone else out there who cares for you. I'm sure." With that I went back up to my home, feeling her stare at my back.
She couldn't tell him. I couldn't tell her. No one could say anything.
Days passed, weeks… It's been a month and a half since we talked about Naruto.
Hinata and I had conversations more and more. Our relationship shifted from strangers to friends. Our traits seemed to match almost perfectly. Questions were scarce, statements were scarce, and in fact I don't even think we talked much. It was that strange bond, whatever it was…I liked it.
She hasn't told him yet, but I know we both anticipated to that day. I swear I would kill him with my bear hands if he hurts her one bit. I hate it when she cries, especially when it's by someone else.
If he accepted, she would never come by again. He would live alone. Avenge alone. Die alone. I would hear about how much of a wonderful family she was raising for Naruto. Naruto would brag about her. I would scowl. Then if I were to come back, I would have to tolerate Sakura's pleading me to marry her just as Hinata and Naruto did.
But, what would I do if he rejected her? Would I…pursue her? Would I be the one to raise a family with her? Would I be the one bragging about her? My pride is too big for that.
Hinata POV
I told Sasuke that I might tell Naruto I love him. I've been waiting for years to tell him, but… I know I can do it tomorrow!
Wanna
feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of
the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane
Far
away
And break away
He always started our conversations with, "I feel like talking." I giggled at how straight forward he is, but today we talked more than usual. He doesn't seem to like the fact that I plan on telling Naruto I love him, but he avoided the subject as much as possible until now.
If Sasuke was right, how would I deal with rejection? Suicide… no, I could never. I shouldn't even think about it right now. He would be happy and I would be sad. No one could ever give me the confidence he did. All my admiration would go down the drain as I would see him walk off with another girl.
But what if he did? I would rejoice happily. My life will be renewed completely and I would live and prosper with Naruto, my love. I let out a squeal of excitement.
I couldn't sleep thinking about Naruto and I together!
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes
till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a
change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But
I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a
chance,
Make a change, and break away
Normal POV
Sasuke couldn't sleep either. He wasn't so sure about Hinata living around Naruto. It just wouldn't be right. He pulled up a piece of paper and began to write.
When you're feeling lost in the night.
When you feel your world just ain't right .
Call on me, I will be waiting, count on me,
I will be there.
Would Naruto be there for her? A more important question, would he be there for her?
Anytime the times get too tough,
anytime your best ain't enough,
I'll be the one to make it better.
I'll be there to protect you, see you through.
I'll be there, and there is nothing, I won't do.
Her bodyguard, that's
who he was, nothing more. Nothing. Bodyguards are supposed to
protect. Hinata was just someone Sasuke felt the need to protect.
I
will cross the ocean for you.
I will go and bring you the moon.
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need.
I will be the sun in your sky,
I will light your way for all time, promise you for you I will.
Who said bodyguards
couldn't make the person happy. If she was depressed and suicidal
it's not like he would just sit there.
I will shield
your heart from the rain.
I won't let any harm come your way.
These arms will be your shelter.
No, these arms won't let you down.
If there is a mountain to move I will move that mountain for you.
I'm here for you, I'm here forever.
I will be your fortress tall and strong.
I'll keep you safe,
I'll stand beside you right or wrong.
He would shelter her. He would be there for her. He would do anything for her, but love her. There was no, absolutely no, love in their relationship.
For you I will, lay my life on the line.
For you I will fight.
For you I will die, with every breath, with all my soul, I'll give my word, I'll give it all. Put your faith in me; put your faith in me.
Uchiha Sasuke knew there was absolutely no love between the bodyguard and the heiress. Absolutely none, but he knew he didn't want to see her hurt.
Truth in the matter was… Sasuke was in love. He looked around and began to write deeper thoughts…
What is this I'm feeling.
I just can't
explain
When you're near,
I'm not the same.
I'm trying' to
hide it,
Try not to show it.
It's crazy
how could it be
He had fallen hard; he
just needed to realize it.
I've fallen for
you
Finally, my heart gave in
And I'm fallen in love
I
finally know
How it feels
People have always admired him, loved him, but finally he had feelings for someone else. It was his turn to be head over heels in love.
When you
said hello,
I looked in your eyes.
Suddenly, I felt good
inside.
Is this really happening?
Or am I just dreaming?
I
guess, it's true.
I can't believe
He was well aware of that certain bond. This girl… this girl that had the certain smile that would brighten up his day, she's the one who made him feel good inside.
I've fallen for
you
Finally, my heart gave in.
And I'm fallen in love
I
finally know how it feels
So this is love...
Love? Yes it was love… no it was more than love. Something else he wasn't quite sure of.
Doesn't matter
where I am,
Thoughts of you still linger in my mind
No matter
what time of day
I've really, really
Fallen for you...
He's been slacking off. Orochimaru sent him to the doctor several times in the last week or two. He had a lot…well he had her on his mind.
I've fallen for you
Finally, my heart
gave in.
And I'm fallen in love
I finally know how it feels
So
this is love..
Deep inside he felt doubt that she felt the same way. It was his former-best friend, Uzumaki, who held her heart. That's how it would be.
He whispered his poem to himself over and over, attempting to analyze his own thoughts.
A snort could be heard, then rustling of the bushes.
…
"Any word on the girl?"
"…yes, she should be arriving sometime tomorrow."
"Who is she?"
"This girl."
"Ah, a Hyuuga."
"Yes, should I get the paperwork ready?"
"No. Get this ready."
"Ah, smart thinking."
"Now hurry, I will get the paperwork ready I'll tell my other servant to make preparations."
Hinata POV
I look across the river to see Sasuke sharpening a kunai knife getting ready for training. He looked up at me, not saying much, but I knew he was just as nervous as I was.
I had put on my regular jacket, attempting to make the meeting as casual as possible. Around now, Naruto would be training at the Team 7 training grounds.
I stopped there searching everywhere for him. Nowhere.
Where could he be? He wasn't at the academy, the shrine, the river, not even Ichiraku's.
However walking around the village I heard people talking, gossiping.
"We better watch out for her. After all this, I bet she'll become suicidal." One teenage boy said.
"Yeah, being disowned by the Hyuugas? That's pretty harsh." The other boy responded.
"No, what will drive her insane is seeing Naruto with his new girlfriend." The girl said.
I looked up and down the path. Sure enough flashes of bright yellow, pink, and orange came forward.
Tears came to my eyes as I ran back to my river. I heard Sakura and Naruto call back to me, but I kept running.
Buildings
with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I
don't know where they'll take me
Gotta keep movin on movin
on
Fly away
Break away
"SASUKE! PLEASE I NEED TO TALK!" he was no where to be found. He wasn't in the area.
Weird where else would he go? He didn't need food since I just fed him this morning. He didn't have training today either.
I made my decision…to become a missing-nin. I went back to my tent and packed up all of my stuff.
My feet began to walk about the river's top, but I felt a hand grab my ankle and I immediately dropped beneath the water. My head resurfaced to see Sasuke's.
"You don't want to become a missing-nin." Could he read my thoughts?
"H-How d-did y-you -…?" a finger came to my mouth. I blushed at the contact. His usual smirk appeared, following a deep frown.
"I know. Hyuuga, crossing to the Sound means you cannot go back to Konoha ever again. You do not want the life of a runaway." He cupped my chin. We never touched before. It felt weird. I've known him for a week or two and this is the first time we ever came in contact.
Sasuke scoffed. He must have thought I was one of his fan girls. I just don't feel comfortable with contact of the opposite sex actually any sex for that matter.
"S-Sorry, Sasuke-san, but I must runaway. I have no reason to stay in Konoha. My clan wants to take away my Byakugan then my life. Naruto has found a girlfriend. I got fired from my intern and am already registered as a missing-nin. I need to leave. Please, I will n-not be a bother." I felt his hand grab mine as he lifted me out of the water.
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
Though it's not easy
to tell you goodbye
Take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change,
and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I
won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a
chance,
Make a change, and break away
Breakaway
Break away
"Hyuuga, you are now an official missing-nin." He smirked, leading me to a rock.
I sat down making myself comfortable, "Are there any nice apartments you know of? I don't have much money, but I can surely find a nice size apartment with the money Neji gave me." I saw he was in his tree house or whatever fishing for something.
He came down with a cup of green tea and some kind of samurai uniform, "Drink this, wear this, stay here."
I looked up at his small tree house, "Where do I sleep, dress, eat? That house isn't for 2 people. I'd rather live in that nice cave over there." It looked like a cozy cave. To my liking, it had easy access to the waterfall and was a nice size.
"Hyuuga, that cave is infested with leaches and barely protects from the weather. I hardly think you would rather stay there. We can buy a cot today. The tree house should be able to keep in both of us. I built it a few years back." he stated before sipping his own green tea.
I began to remember what Neji told me. Why would the Hyuuga clan want to get rid of me? I thought they said I was improving.
"Get dressed, we'll be leaving soon. We'll register you to become a Sound Ninja… Sigh, why are you crying?" he sat down across from me on another rock.
"I'm not prepared to be a ninja. It's not my life. I'm not strong enough. I-I can't – …"
"Oh will you stop it with the whining? They'll think you're a spy if you say you're not a ninja! Can you think for a second?" his scolds reminded me of my father's. The memories of fear resurfaced to my emotions making me cry.
"I'M SORRY, SASUKE. I REALLY AM! I'LL STOP. SUMIMASEN, PLEASE I'LL DO BETTER. JUST DON'T GET MAD!" my babbling persisted until I found myself in a field.
He took off his shirt revealing his tone abs. However, I failed to blush, as I had seen him with his shirt off thousands of times, being his next-door neighbor and all.
Although, I did not know what he was doing.
"Ano, Sasuke-san, what are you doing?" I watched him get into a fighting pose and activate his Sharingan.
"…" no response. Ah, what does that mean?
"Sasuke-san, I don't want to fight, please, I've had a long day." I pleaded sitting down by a tree.
He sighed once more before putting his shirt back on and stopping dead in his tracks. He saw something I knew it.
I turned on my Byakugan to see no threat. No one's chakra level was anything Sasuke or I couldn't handle.
He took my hand, "Come, quickly. He knows!"
I failed to keep up with his fast pace.
"Damn, you're so slow." He picked me up and placed me on his back.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and he dashed off quicker than I could ever run.
INTERMISSION TIME!
