She was given to the one that would use her as his tool. What would become of her when the one who was suppose to stand by her side leaves? Better yet who could take his place? What will happen when he comes back for her? Can her vengeful heart forgive?

Chapter 3: The Time Has Come
Eyes closed and concentration she told herself, sitting in the middle of the garden she intended to connect in a deeper level with all her surroundings. To feel the trees and the plants that surrounded her getting used to each of their distinctive energies that distinguished each from the other, feeling each enter her body through her pours attracting each like a magnet. The winds light breeze blew around her in a gentle way that soothed the girl, making her shoulder length hair wave in the breeze.
"All right Hinata begin." Said the older girl, her long brown hair blew in the wind with a gentle grace combined with her stance gave her a look of superiority.
Opening her eyes she stands and begins to perform a few movements, her arms where gently moving in a pulling motion her hips started to swayed giving the performance of a sexual dance, that started of slow and around her a wave of chakra started to appear around her, the movements started to take speed and the amount of energy started to grow in amount. Raising her hands in a praying like motion above her head and continued to sway her hips.
Hanabi was impressed and gave her younger sister a smirk "Now… transform it." She told her young sister.
Hinata closed her eyes once more and began to concentrate again; sweat began to gather around the small girl's forehead… her hips never stopped her hands began to make symbols that allowed her to create a jutsu. Hinata's eyes opened showing her determination to do this right, moving again she started to morph the chakra into water and giving it the shape of a dragon… with this her dance became faster and the water dragon started to move around her fallowing the commands that she made.
Nodding her head in an approving manner "Good now return the chakra to its original state." Hanabi ordered, with a voice that shows her statues of Royal House. Hanabi doesn't normally act this way around her younger sister, but when it comes to her training she can't go easy on her, she will never learn if she does.
Hinata did as commanded by her nee-chan and proceeded to reverse the water in to the energy that it was at first; her movements became more gentle and graceful in fast motion, slowly the water started to steam up and returned to its original state of chakra. She kept the pace of her movements even though she was becoming exhausted with this, but she had to keep going if she wanted to become stronger like her older sister.
"Give it back now Hinata" she told the young midnight haired girl, if she could return the chakra to the plants that she took it from then she will be ready to move to the next step of her training.
By this time Hinata started to pant… 'Come on, come on… I'm almost there.' She told herself trying to find the strength she needed to continue with her training. Feeling like her small frame would soon give in she decided that it was time now, activating her Byakugan she made the chakra circle around her and continued the swaying of her hips and her small legs started to move in a marching like motion, her hands were brought to her chest one folded in a fist with her index and her middle finger up while the other was wrapped around her semi fist. She gathered her own chakra in the tips of her two fingers she opened the pours around her body and pushed out sending the circling chakra out in sonic wave like motion returning it to the plants the she gathered it from. After the process was done she gave a small smile, and fell to her knees... she did it after all that training she finally did what she was meant to do, of course the one with the final word would be her father. Looking at her nee-chan she awaited her comments good or bad as long as she didn't sugar coat it she would be okay... that would be better than to only give her false expectations and she wouldn't be able to learn from her mistake.
The older girl gave her an approving nod and a smile "You did it... you're finally ready to show father... I don't see why you wanted me to approve it first, you were great." Hanabi told her younger sister with a sincere voice, ever since the passing of their mother a few years back Hinata had felt that she had lost her father's love and gained his hate. She had once told her that it was her fault that their mother died, if she hadn't been born then she wouldn't have fallen ill... that was not the case though, Hinata resembles their mother more than she herself does when she grows she will be the image of their mother... That is what hurts their father. Hinata had been trying to 'regain' their father's love by becoming stronger... Instead of attending the Academe like the rest of her generation she asked for her training to begin a few months after her fifth birthday around the time of the lost of her sealer. She had a privet sensei that taught her the basics and soon after that she had completed that part of the training, but her teacher had refused to continue until she was older, Hanabi saw the desperation she had to become stronger so she took her in and has helped her since. Her strength has improved and in a few more years she will rival her older sisters, she is smart and determined, but sadly she has her ups and downs... Herself esteem is like a rollercoaster ride one moment it's up and the next thing you know it's as if it were never there... She is much too sensitive and has her super shy moments when around those who she doesn't trust.
Hinata blushed "You think Otosan will be pleased with my progress?" she questioned, she was nervous and a bit tired from what she had just done. At the same time she felt proud of her self she proved her old sensei wrong... Her sensei had told her that she was much too young and small to be able to control such techniques, but she had done what she wasn't supposed to be able to do until she was twelve or thirteen and she was only ten and a half years old. Her dilemma was if her Otosan would be pleased or angered that she went against her sensei's wishes that was what she was fearing at the moment, but her father doesn't understand she has to please him he is her father... she is his blood his flesh and his bone but, she has to please Sasuke as well he has expectations and she must live up to them as well.
The technique that she had just done is the one that girls in the Royal House must do in order to graduate from the academe in Gin. With this her father will have to make the decision on what will be of her... she has already done simple missions with her nee-chan it was something that helped her with practice and stuff of the sort.
-x0x0x-
Looking at herself in the mirror Alina was looking at her as well; "Okay your ready Hinata" said the older blond trying to encourage the young girl. Today she was wearing one of her usual outfits' a long sleeve baby blue shirt that came all the way down pass her mid thigh and fit her young developing body nicely, and she wore a pair of gray pats that fit her just right for a girl of her age. The outfit was nice, but proper for a young girl, her hair was short and reached just above her shoulder except for the bangs that framed her pretty face they reached all the way to her collar bone.
She stared at herself and thought that anyone who would see her would simply think that she was just the cute little girl that doesn't have a care in the world. That was her advantage as her nee-chan has taught her... Allow your enemy to underestimate you, to be underestimated is always your advantage in battle, which was true in the simple missions that she had done that had always been an advantage, but at this moment she was scared. Hanabi had told her yesterday that she was ready to show her otosan but she was having second thoughts about it right now... What if he gets mad? Then again what if she doesn't show him now and he later finds out by another's mouth that would be worse. Then again Sasuke had told her the last time that she saw him that he was graduating and that he would need her soon, two of them and one of her she can only do so much... One expects one thing from her and the other another, so which is more important? She can't decide, she loves her father, but she also cares about her sealer... Is she even supposed to love one more? It's a difficult question that she can't even ask her nee-chan since she belongs to no one but herself.
"Well come on Hinata, you don't want to be late for breakfast" came the sound of Alina's voice, Hinata looked up at the older girl and gave her a nod and began to make her way out of the closet, past her elegant bathroom and towards her room where Kimiko was finishing her chores. Her bedroom was rather big she just realized, her big King size bed is towards the center left of her room it stands in a one step elevation, on the left wall there is a door that leads to the gardens around the estate, the glass door was covered by a curtain of beautiful crystals that blocked the view. Her room had a small table with cushions and giant pillows all around the floors for her to sit and just lay. Many crystal chains hung from her sealing around the room and she couldn't help but question if this would be the way that her room will look for ever... or will it change when she gets older?
Walking out into the hall she sees Kikyo-obasab and her nee-chan, masking her face she stares up at the two and all three proceed to head to the dining room for breakfast. After countless twist and turns and exchanges of halls they arrive at the dining room with a few minutes to spear, something that Kikyo is now thankful for.
Breakfast goes by fast, faster than Hinata would have liked and it was now or never... Taking a deep silent breath she takes the risk "Otosan..." asked the little girl with as much confidence as she can gather at these moments, happy that she didn't stutter in her father's presence... but she's not out of the woods yet.
The Lord and head of the house looks over to his youngest "What is it Hinata?" he asked the small blue haired child, he saw she was nervous but was masking it well.
"I would like to show you something..." she said, the butterflies fluttering within her "That's if you have time." she quickly added, remembering who he was.
Giving her a nod in acceptance both left the dining room and headed for the garden... Hinata was nervous, scared and excited but mostly scared of what he will say when he finds out about what's he has been doing behind his back.
-x0x0x-
Irritated and annoyed were two of the feelings he had been experiencing for the past few weeks, irritated because of the blond baka that though he can actually out beat him Sasuke Uchiha at well... anything it was obvious that idiot would never match up to his standers and in about a week he might as well just give up. The reason he felt annoyed and very much wishing god would just strike him or preferably the pink annoyance that just doesn't know when to shut up, he's tried everything he could think of to get his annoyingly loud fan girl to stop but it's always. "Sasuke-kun this, Sasuke-kun that" what does he have to do to get her to stop? Since the first moment he told her that she had an annoying voice... how can he be more direct? He already told her strait up and the message was not received.
He sighed, they had been training for a few hours now and he has not been able to get very far today or any of these past few days at that. Sakura and Naruto just keep getting in his way, when he completes something it "What! NO! I Can Do That Better Than You! BELIVE IT!" and then comes the "CHA! DON'T YELL AT SASUKE-KUN" Threat from the pink nuisance that can't do anything.
Then there was his sensei... The lazy bastard did nothing to help his case with the two loud mouths, he's always reading his stupid perverted book and that is not helping him get stronger though it doesn't matter. He will get strong any way that he has to and in a week the answer to his problem will be solved, but until then he better get away from the annoyance that are his team mates.
He started to make his way out of the forest when 'astonishly' Sakura saw him make his way further into the training grounds. "Sasuke-kun! Where are you going?" she asked in an 'I'm so cute' tone that only made her voice squeaky and irritate him more.
"Yeah Teme where are ya go'n!" stated the slow blond, a cocky grin appeared on his face "Oh! I get it you'r sacred I'm kick you'r ass. Huh not that I blame you I'm just that AWSOME! Believe it!" Naruto yelled.
'God what did I do?' the raven male asked the heavens above, he didn't get a response as always.
-x0x0x-
Sitting in front of her father, Hinata awaited to hear what he would ask of her... Three days ago she had shown her Otosan her ability and now she feels silly for ever being sacred, he had told her that he was proud of her even if she went against her teachers orders. That day she had become a kunoichi, she had been so happy with her father's decision.
"Hinata today you will leave for Konoha... I will be coming with you but you will stay and serve Sasuke." The brown haired male stated "Further more only Sasuke can know of your full capacity..." Hiashi told his youngest daughter, and paused for a mere moment unsure how his daughter will feel about what he will ask of her "Hinata... Trust only your clan and Sasuke... no one else." He stated, studying his daughters facial expressions.
Confusion was what she gave her father "Otosan...? Do you want the village to think am weak?" she came to a conclusion, one witch confused her further.
"Yes my daughter... Do not allow anyone but Sasuke to know of your full power." He told her, looking at her in the eye he continued "Konoha cannot be trusted... this will be your first mission gather as much information as you can." he told the young Hyuga before him "Do not question why only obey." was his final say on the matter.
Bowing her head "Yes otosan." she said in a calm and collect voice that told her father she would follow his orders.
Giving the young girl an approving nod he continued "Ko will come with you and protect you… also no one must know of his presence in the village, not even Sasuke… understood." He questioned the small girl; Hinata gave him a firm nod at this and waited for her father to continue "You will be staying at the Hyuga compound… You are not to speak of any of the Royal House issues." He told in a firm voice that stated the seriousness of the issue, receiving a nod from Hinata as a final word to the issue.
The Hyuga clan consisted of three Houses the first was the Royal House which was the one at the top they contain all the secrets of how the clan actually started and how their ancestors came to create sealments, next came the Main House which came in second, this sector of the clan at some point in time had been too part of the Royal House and when they dispatch to Konoha they were given the name of Main House, the reason why the girls in the Main House are not sealed with the twilight sealment is because the only way to perform the ritual is within the village of silver, but they did receive the seal that every Hyuga male receives and they had to give it to the females of the House. They adapted to that custom of not having the Twilight seal done but had needed a type of alternative which is how the Branch House was created, the cage seal had always excised, but it was only placed on the criminals of the clan. To serve the Main House in any way that was needed among siblings, something that the Royal House does not always do, of course there are exceptions to the rule and it has been done in the past. Hizashi his uncle is the leader of the Branch House in Konoha and the Main House leader is a cousin of his, both houses are welcome and allowed to freely enter the village of silver.

The day was peaceful and nice... The sky was blue and white fluffy clouds adored the blue canvas creating shapes and figures that allowed one to use their creative imaginations to morph them into anything. Birds calmly flew past in the open sky that gave them the freedom that any would desire to process. The marketplace was filled with many shoppers and sellers, the smell of baked goods and the sight of alluring sings and shouts of the shop owners trying to advertise their products.
Three teens were wandering around the calm streets of the village they call home, "Let get some food, I'm STARVING!" wined the shortest of the three, the blond that was probably the cause of the blond stereotype that many believe. His face lit up with is goofy grin and bright blue eyes "RAMEN! Yeah I want Ramen!" he shouted happily to his two companions, both the companions looked at him like he was insane.
"That's the fourth time that we eat Ramen this week and its only Wednesday" complained in an irritated voice the only female of the group, when an idea popped in her head. "Why don't you go get your Ramen Naruto..." Stated the pink haired girl in a sweet voice, she then hooked herself onto the stoic raven of the group and said "Me and Sasuke-Kun will go elsewhere to eat lunch!" Sakura shrieked to the havens and all who pass by.
Said raven started to shake his arm free, but the pink lover had a death grip n his arm "Sakura Let GO!" he demanded trying to push the annoying girl off.
She gave him a sad and confused look "BUT Sasuke-Kun!" she winded again, Sakura rehooked herself onto the apple of her eye. "I'm sick of ramen... and I'm sure you are too" Sakura was cut off by the ignored blond in orange.
"WHAT!" He said in a 'Oh no you didn't' kind of voice and proceeded "How can you say this Sakura-Chan?" Naruto said, little tear drops threatening to fall out after hearing the pink beauty diss his beloved ramen.
The female of the group was about to protest her reasons when 'puff' smoke appears and reveals the silver haired male known as their sensei, holding his little orange book as usual. "Yo" he greeted the odd group of students that he has.
As if nothing has happened Naruto happily replays to his greeting first "Hey Kakashi-Sensei..." Naruto said to the carefree teacher then he receives the cheerful greeting from his only female student and the usual nod and 'hn' from his favorite student, he's the only quiet one who doesn't always insult his beloved book. Naruto then starts to continue "eh... what's up, I thought we had the day off." he asked a little confused.
Peaking from the side of his little orange book he continues "You do..." Kakashi tells them and then returns his eyes to the book. "But Sasuke you are needed in the Hokage tower." he told them in a calm voice, placing most of his attention to the perverted book.
"WHAT!" A Naruto state with wide eyes "Why HIM" says the blond in orange, pointing at the center of attention "I'm the best Ninja the village has why does the old man want to see him." Naruto said in an offended way
"Naruto you idiot" Sakura started "Obviously the Hokage knows how powerful Sasuke-Kun is and wants to give him a special mission that only someone of his talents can do." Said the pink head in a as matter of fact voice, little hearts in her eyes. "Right… uh Sasuke-kun" she said confused "Uh were did he go?" The Jade eyed girl looked around and saw the love of her life walking away her eyes widen "Hey! Sasuke-Kun wait for me!" she shouted to her mysterious team mate, and ran after him
"Hey Sakura wait up" Shouted the blond forgetting about his beloved ramen.
-x0x0x-
'Finally' thought the young Uchiha, ditching his teammates to make his way to the tower. 'After all these past months of waiting' he said to himself, finally he was going to get the power that he needs.
Arriving at the entrance of the tower he enters and sees Kakashi leaning there and actually puts his book away when he senses him. "Yo Sasuke… shall we?" he question the prodigy before him, deciding that he didn't want to tell his sensei off he nodded and both walked in only to stop when they heard the shouts.
"Hey wait up!" both Naruto and Sakura shouted, out of breath from the running that they had to do to get close enough for their aloof teammate to hear. The first to speak was the sunny haired boy "What the hell Teme!" he yelled angrily at the Sharigan user "Why did you just ditch us like that?" questioned the angry sky eyed blond.
Sasuke just stared at the two, with his serious face in place as usual "Hn, it's not like this is any of your business." simply stated the almost last Uchiha, then he turned around and continued his way towards the meeting room where he always meets with the Lord of Silver.
"Wait! Sasuke-kun we want to help you" came the shriek of the pink Sakura, he simply ignored her and continued on his way... he had wasted enough time and the fact that a Kage from another village will be giving his daughter to him, is another reason not to be late. As to be expected they just couldn't take the hint that he didn't need them there and proceeded to follow him like lost puppies.
Arriving at the meeting door were two Gin Hyuga's at the entrance, both saw and nodded their heads in respect to him "Lord Hyuga has been expecting you Sasuke-Sama" Said one of the guards, then he turned and saw the masked man, a drooling girl, and a blond in orange... The guard turn to the Uchiha in a questioning matter "Are they with you Sasuke-Sama?" he asked. The Uchiha just surged and went on ahead to enter the room, with this action the two Hyugas opened the door for him. The other three tried to enter after their companion only to be stopped by the two men. "Where do you think you're going." he said, both getting in the way of the entrance.
As to be expected the loud blond was the first to speak "What do you mean" said Naruto waving his hands in the air, "We are with him" he told them refusing to the raven that ditched them.
The man just smirked "Really" he started and leaned down a bit to the blond boys level "He didn't say anything about you being able to enter with him." he told Naruto in a cocky tone, that irritated the blue eyed boy to the point of exploiting.
Inside the room were the third Hokage and the Lord of Silver both sitting, bowing his head in respect the Uchiha greeted the two leaders. The silence didn't last long because next thing they knew they heard an in furious "What!" and the door came down with the two guards tackling Naruto to the ground and performing gentle fist on him, causing him to fall on the ground paralyzed. The Hyuga leader's eyes widen a bit and look at the act in a disapproving matter, Kakashi pops his head in the room, and the masked scarecrow scratched the back of his head in an embarrassed manner. Sakura simply stood there too in an embarrassed manner, when a small figure entered the room.
The little girl simply looked at the blond on the floor and gave a questioning look "Um... Why is there some kid on the floor?" asked the young blue haired girl, her vision moved to the front of the room and landed on her raven sealer. A smile appeared on her face as she maneuvered her way to the older boy "Sasuke I found you" she said in a sweet tone that added to her adorableness, she went ahead and hugged the boy... who didn't show any sign of discomfort.
The action infuriated the pink girl who marched into the room and was about to pull on the small girl 'CHA! WHAT DOES SHE THINK SHE'S DOING HUGGING MY SASUKE-KUN OH SHE IS GOING TO PAY' yelled her inner ego flames coming out of her eyes, when one of the guards tackled her to the floor as well holding her down. "Ah! What did I do!" she screamed
Sasuke saw what was happening to his two teammates and actually he was happy that they followed him for a moment there. Looking at the small figure that was still holding him, he smirked and patted her head "Yeah" he said softly to her. He had been expecting something like this to happen and a part of him is glad it did. 'Yeah keep following me like lost puppies!' he thought to himself and yet...
Looking back at the two leaders before him he once again bowed his head, Hinata still clinging to his waist (she's not very tall compared to him) "Forgive the ruddiness of my teammates." he said his face schooled into its aloof form, it just came naturally to him.
After all the craziness has ended then everyone was quiet in the room, the two land leaders were position in the front of the room, Sasuke with Hinata to his right and Sakura to his left. On the other side of Sakura sat the now recovering knuckle headed ninja, and next to the door stood their perverted sensei... reading his book as usual. And still in pain the knuckle head was the first to speak "Ow... Why did you want that Teme!" he yelled, pointing an accusing finger at the raven male, "When you can have someone better like me! I'm practically the strongest ninja ever and I have the looks! Believe It!" he said while pointing his thumb at himself and finishing with his catch phrase. Sadly his moment of glory didn't go as planned, first he gets strange looks from the two Hyugas, the silent treatment from the Teme and a disapproving look from both his sensei and the Hokage, but Sakura beat everyone.
"You Baka!" she said nailing him on the head with her fist of furry, "Haven't you embarrassed Sasuke-Kun enough!" Said the pinket as if she hasn't done the same thing as the poor blond boy, looking at the leaders she calmly apologizes "For give him for his outburst" she said in her sweet voice and gave a nervous giggle.
