Nothing is permanent in this world. Except the word…'Change'

Chapter 4: Who is she?

Dark and snow…the only thing she can see. Black and white compliment well. There is nothing, no one in there. The dark spacious road seems to have no end. And the snow…it is continuously falling…slowly. Silence and peace…was there…but then, there is pain…

"Where am I" she thought, minding not the pain. There is light. And finally, she had escaped from the vast darkness and cold snow.

A child…and a father…

The young child clutched her father's hand. She hides behind him. There is also a child beside the other man. He looks more confident than she is; he stood next to his father and not hiding from people. The two men stare at each other. The young girl looked at the boy…she smiled at him.

"Father…" he whispered "she smiled at me, she's pretty." His father frowned at him.

"Why? Is there any problem?" he asked curiously but there is no reply.

Hinata smiled on what she is seeing. (It's so Kawaii!) Leaves rustle as the wind blow them gently.

Wind….

It's Naruto, the one who she admires…giving her strength and reason to stand up. There he is…cheering and shouting her name. She blushed as he calls her name. It was the first time that he pays attention to her. She's happy.

Silence again…

Kiba, Shino, and her sensei, Kurenai. Her team…they are the people…who care about her. The people who she always shared happiness and everything, now only she could see is there back…leaving…leaving her alone…she cried out there name. "Shino-kun, Kiba-kun, Kurenai-sensei!"

But nothing's there anymore…alone…lonely she is again...

Suddenly, those scenes…are fast-forwarding…so fast…she could not understand what's happening…

"Who are you?" seeing an image of a girl. Standing…looking at her. She looks weak…crying, she is. She walked towards her. She was shocked.

"It's…it's me…months ago…" she touched her but she disappears.

And now everything turns white…and there…was pain…

"A dream?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji finished his task and he is now heading to the Hokage's office. Wondering what happened to Konoha when he is away. And to his cousin, Hinata, how is she doing now? He quickened his pace to the hokage's office.

"So, what did you find?"

"There are many important things that I've discovered about Orochimaru."

"Tell me what is it?"

"Orochimaru is now nesting in a hidden place inside the forest, in the hidden village of stones."

"Did you find anything about Sasuke?"

"Yes, I did find some information about him. According to a ninja I've fought, Orochimaru planned to use Sasuke as his next container. Unfortunately, when the day that, Orochimaru should transfer to Sasuke's body, Sasuke disappeared.

He continued. "Orochimaru will come here to take Sasuke again."

"Hmm...Well done, Neji. You can go now." He bows at her then leave.

"Master…" Shizune looked at her, worried.

-------Next day-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinata's mind still wonders about the previous dream. Strange but more like reality. Why did she have that dream? Why those people in her dream? She doesn't understand. Everything is unclear to her. She wanted answers to her questions.

Another mistake. The long haired brunette walked in the same path where Hinata walked. He looked at the girl ahead of her. She looks familiar, the hair, the clothing, everything just the same. He thought it was his cousin. He quickened his pace to be ahead of her. He was supposed to be noticed by her in that short distance but she's just walking as if she felt nothing, not feeling his presence. Then came to his mind, she is that weak that she could not even notice him in a short distance, utterly pathetic…she is still pathetic in his sight. But anyway why did he mind of her. She is just a waste of time, no need for a little greeting of Hi and Hello. Then he is ahead of her now and finally she looked at him. She said nothing but continue on her way.

She turned left while he turned right. Where is she heading in this time? He looked at the girl using his all-seeing eye. Turn back; he jumped in the house's roofs, he followed her.

Then she stopped and looked at the sky but she looks like looking more in the roof. He remains in his place. Stunned. Now he realizes, she is not the girl in his mind but other. But why he did not even notice that? Maybe she just acts like Hinata or maybe he is just thinking much of her. He went back to his way again and left the girl still staring the sky.

Who is she?

But Hinata did feel his presence before he feel hers. Even his depart, she did see him leave, just remaining silent knowing the reaction of his cousin.

Soon she'll be home, the place she feels more welcomed. She quickened her pace, seeing the entrance of the compound.

-----------Author's note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
