Chapter four: Shisui Uchiha

Itachi observed the fragile girl that laid awake looking his way, carefully his eyes roamed at her person taking as much information he could gather from her facial expression. Her mouth was agape and her eyes were wide like saucers, he chucked inside amused that this Hyuga wasn't very good at Hiding her emotions. Right exactly as he thought that Hinata's guard went up and she schooled her features. Itachi managed to catch of glimpse while her guard was down, her white eyes held so much pain and sadness that for a moment she wasn't a small child but a grown up with decisions, hard decisions. What are you hiding? Itachi Uchiha one of the most known clan member of the Uchiha family to be a child prodigy in the eyes of the elders. At a very young age Itachi understood war and it many functions that made him desperately sought out peace, he was distraught on what to do to manage that. Now here he was , instead of seeking that peace he was paying all his attention to this little Hyuga. Something about her seemed off, the way she carried herself, yes she was mere child but no child at her age was that mature. When he first caught a glimpse of her he wasn't expecting seeing that sort of child, he wasn't about to discard his instinct. Now, why would she say what she just so clearly said loud. Why would I do what? What did she know about him, to his knowledge he's only met her once or twice when his father visited the Hyuga compound or the other way around.

" Why would I do what?" Itachi asked again, he would interrogate her, she was merely just a child she would easily answer, but he would be cautious. Itachi sat in a chair at the end of her bed, his body towards the door but face and eyes on Hinata. Her head cocked to the side in confusion her shot midnight hair slightly moving, white eyes filled with so much innocence. "Excuse me?"

" You said my name."

" I did?" Nodding Itachi kept observing her, she genuinely seemed confused but it still seemed off, everything about the conversion was unnerving.

" Oh, I didn't realize, sorry."

" Then you said something else."

Hinata's mouth opened to reply but the door opened and swooping in was a Person hinata didn't recognize, he had jet black unruly hair and black eyes that were accompanied by long eyelashes and with a pale complexion. His clothes were the usual Uchiha attire, black high collared shirt and pants, he had the leaf village's forehead protector. He walked over to Itachi and started a conversation. For the mean time Itachi was busy and it gave Hinata a bit of time for her to

Come up with an excuse. He had heard her, she hadn't realized she had said it out loud. What a great great ninja she was for not sensing she had company. You're still a child. Hinata wondered if that's was all Itachi heard, could it be he heard more or what if she had spoken more than was necessary. She did have moments she would talk in her sleep. Memories, Hinata knew enough that she knew she wasn't having a dream more like memories. But whose and how?

" Who's what?" Two pair of eyes studied her, She had said it out loud again. Hinata mentally cursed herself then opened her mouth to reply but Itachi responded first.

" Shisui tell the Ho-

A scream tore out from Hinata, her head began hurting more and more each time she looked at Shisui, in one instant he had no eyes but the next he had them again. No. Her vision clouded, she could feel her eyes roll back her head and feel everything surrounding her fade, Hinata tried desperately not to get pulled into the memory, her child mind could not handle two in just a few hours. Itachi and Shisui ran towards Hinata, both on alert. Itachi took hold of her two small arms and held them down from her head, while Shisui held her body from thrashing, it all happened so quickly, in one moment Itachi and Shisui stopped hearing the small child's screams instead was soon replaced by the sound of a waterfall.

Both Uchiha looked around, they were in their old training spot by the waterfall and they were standing just a few feet from the cliff., they both looked at each other signaling they must be alert. " It seems like you got pulled into the memories." A tall woman around twenty stood beside them she had long dark hair and a bangs cut across her forehead, her eyes were white like the Hyuga's and she seemed to be focusing on something. To both Uchiha that woman seemed so familiar, she almost looked like the Hyuuga Heiress they were trying to help, but that couldn't be right? "It looks like the Uchiha coup d'etat can no longer be prevented. And if civil war erupts in the leaf, the other nations are certain to invade" Itachi turned to Shisui when he spoke but when he looked at him Shisui had his mouth closed and he was looking towards where the woman was looking, he followed their gaze. Two figures materialized beside the cliff , it was hard for Itachi to to see who they two men were but the moon gave enough light to see who they were, to his surprise it was himself and Shisui. Another memory, why again? Hinata watched as the real Itachi and Shisui watched confused as the memory played out. Hinata could only keep asking herself questions as she watched the interaction. " Danzo stole my right eye when I was planning on using kotoamatsukami on the clan." Shisui had his back to Itachi "He doesn't trust me, he intends to protect the village his own way no matter how it looks or in what way. " Shisui turned around facing Itachi, seeing his best friend-his brother and making a decision that hopefully would change things. " I suspect he will come after my left eye." With that said Shisui fingers came up to his remaining eye and took it out then held it towards Itachi. "So, I want to give it to you before he has the chance. You're the only person I can count on, my best friend."

A coup, now many things seemed to be falling into place, Sasuke never mentioned what really happened to the Uchiha. Hinata had a feeling there was more than what the village was told, after seeing Itachi's memories she understood a little bit of the memory but not all of it. were the Uchiha planning a coup? why? what made them want to turn against the leaf? The headache she was experiencing was slowing returning, learning all the new information still made her dizzy. There's more to come. she mused. Even more so thinking about Itachi and Shisui here with her observing the memories was a huge risk. Not only did it put her in trouble but it also endangered the future, they were not supposed to know. Maybe they could help me? Danzo he deliberately stole Shisui's eye, didn't he want to end the coup why did he have to go through all the trouble to get Shisui's eye. Kotoamatsukami, what did it do? The sound of wings fluttering caused hinata to focus back on the memories, Shisui's eyes were closed, blood was flowing freely down his face, a raven flew down near Shisui's open hand and disappeared with the eye in a burst of feathers. "I accept. But what will you do?" Itachi replied. Shisui creeped closer to the edge of the cliff while still facing Itachi. " Who knows if my death will change the situation but, I left a note detailing my decision." Both memory Itachi and real Itachi stepped up at the same time realizing what Shisui was planning on doing. " Don't try to stop me.' With those final words Shisui fell back plunging into the water disappearing from sight, memory Itachi reached for his friends hand but he was too late. The real Itachi's knees gave and fell on the ground, seeing whatever he saw play out, physically and emotionally hurt him. Watching helplessly as the person he saw as a brother die in front of him was too much for him to handle. He told himself it wasn't real and his best friend was beside him, alive and breathing. For a moment he suffered great pain , his heart ached and felt like everything was going to be snatched away from him it was too much to bear at the moment. At the same time both memory Itachi and real Itachi awakened their Mangekyo Sharingan. The memories faded and all three were back in the infirmary room silent. All three of them stayed quiet, they were processing what they had seen and they had no idea on how to react. Shisui was the first to move, he let go of Hinata and went to sit beside his friend, who had just awakened the Mangekyo. Itachi let go of Hinata's hands and just didn't move too shocked to notice Shisui beside him, his eyes wandered to the girl beside him his gaze fixated on her. Itachi started to wonder who this girl really was, was she the same girl that had watched the memories with them. She looked just like her and plus looking at the girl at the moment confirmed it,her eyes looked ages, haunted even, like she had suffered through many wars. who are you? His eyes roamed Shisui's face, he looked shocked and relieved, the pain was subsiding but at a slow rate, he knew what he had awaked, seeing his friend die was a strong emotion. Who wouldn't be, after seeing those memories he didn't know what to think of anything anymore. One, there was the whole thing about the Uchiha and the coup and then there was Danzo and Shisui's death, could those memories be real or could they have been altered to show what it wanted to show. Was this girl even a Hyuga or even a child? Discreetly Itachi took a kunai and aimed it right underneath Hinata's chin, his Mangekyo gleaming red. "Who are you?" His voice was low and threatening, he was in anbu mode. Hinata peered at Shisui then at Itachi. The door to the room opened and in ran Sasuke, " Are you guys okay? I heard screaming." Itachi snapped out of it, hid the kunai and deactivated his Mangekyo

"Oh, Hinata was having another headache." Shisui responded.

" Im okay now, your brother helped me."

"Oh, well uh Naruto said hi."

"Where is he?" Hinata asked. Sasuke's smile turned into a frown and his eyebrows knitted in what could only look like anger. " When we were headed over here, the nurses saw Naruto in the waiting room and they said mean things to him then kicked him out, but not before asking me to tell you hi." Sasuke then looked at both Itachi and Shisui ,"Why would they do that to him, he didn't do anything." Itachi smiled for a second forgetting what he saw he stood up and neared his little brother, with two fingers he poked sasuke in the forehead. "Come, let's go, Hinata needs to rest." Sasuke pouted but conceded with his brother, all three of them gave Hinata a goodbye before leaving but not before Itachi sent Hinata a look telling her their conversation wasn't over. Hinata let out a sigh, she was safe for the mean time, it gave her time to think of ways to mend the situation. She just hoped that she wouldn't get a surprise memory any time soon, she still had to analyze what she witness. Those memories were helping but it also was making everything else more confusing, if her calculations were correct and she hoped she was, it meant that in two years the Uchiha would start planning the coup and in two years the Uchiha would be lost forever. Two years to stop it. Why is everything so complicated? The future and the past held so many obstacles and unforeseen thing that even with her Byakugan would not be able to see what her actions would hold for the future.

One week later.

Out in the Hyuga garden laid Hinata right underneath her favorite tree, the sun was out and there seeme to be no worries etched on the young girl's face but deep down there was something big troubling her. After the events a week ago, Hinata knew from that instant she couldn't prevent things herself, she needed all the help she could get and that was the two Uchiha.

"Miss Hinata."

"Eiji, how many times do I have to tell you to not call me miss."

"Many times"

"And still you do it." Hinata sat up and gave Eiji a smile, Eiji stood tall above her shading her from the sun's heat. " You have company."

"Company, could it be Naruto or Sasuke?" Three days ago Hinata managed to find Naruto's home and hang out with him. It took Hinata a while to convince Naruto to play with her, he told her that she should not be seen hanging out with him, people will only make fun of her. Of course Hinata ignored him and told him they were friends and nothing could severe that. That made Naruto smile. Eiji was there when that happened, lately he's been around more and more since Ko's been having missions more frequently. The Heiress was very impressive, he knew of the Naruto boy his little Heiress has been hanging around with, the boy with the nine tailed fox trapped inside him. He did try telling her to stay clear but she said the same thing she told Naruto. If only he could show the others about how great this Heiress could be, how much she had to offer, how couldn't they see it? Eiji wanted to stop the others from executing the plan they had in mind for Hinata.

"Sorry to disappoint" Hinata's eyes widen, she's only heard that voice once and she already knew who it was, Itachi. " I came to see how you were fairing." out of the corner of her eye Hinata saw Eiji dismiss himself, oh how she wanted him to come back.

" You both want to know don't you." She could sense Shisui up above her in the tree."Not here."
