Hiashi Hyuga walked beside the beautiful woman next to him. The woman next to him, giggled at the child in her arms. Hinata Hyuga was currently pulling at her mothers indigo locks . She gripped her mothers hair in her tiny hand in a curious manner. Her featureless white eyes traveled to her mother's own amethyst eyes.
He smirked as they walked to the Hyuga compound l, noting that his child was holding out her arms to him.
"Hiashi-kun," Yumi Hyuga said in an aggravated tone, "do not. I repeat, do not irk me. I am almost eight months pregnant with your child! We have been at the hospital instead of the festival. You do not want to test my patience right now, darling."
"Hn." He grimaced slightly, noticing his mistake.
"Hiashi Hyuga. How many times do I have to tell you not to answer in one syllables? It is unacceptable and unsociable. Not to mention just plain sad to talk to me, your wife, like that." Yumi said in a dangerous tone.
Her pale lavender eyes shooting daggers at him.
"Sorry, darling. I'm just thinking about what happened when Hinata..." That sobered her up.
Hiashi regretted saying so but it wasn't exactly a lie. He silently cursed himself when he saw her hug Hinata closer to her.
Flashback
Hiashi paced back and forth listening to the silent screams on the other side of the wall. He couldn't force himself to stay in the room, watching his wife in pain.
Tic tok. Tic tok. Tic tok. Tic tok. Tic to-crash!
"Sir! Please refrain from breaking our equipment." A nurse said as she rushed passed him.
He glared at the device that had met the end of his kunai.
In his mind, the ticking of the accursed chronometer that had woken him everyday seemed to taunt him.
He tried to mediate and try to calm his nerves but it was futile. As soon as his wife's screams subsided, he got up and barged in.
He watched his wife, covered in sweat and tears, and the woman who was holding a baby covered in blood. Rushing to her side, he grabbed her hand and made her look at him.
"Are you okay?" She looked at him, glassy eyed.
She continued to stare at him until she finally mustered the energy she had left to say, "O-our ch-child."
They both looked at the nurse. The nurse had their child upside down and was gently spanking her. The baby didn't make a sound. The nurse then laid the child next to Yumi.
"I'm sorry. I-I'll give you time alone." The woman managed to croak out. She then proceeded to leave the room, along with the others who bowed and also left the room.
All of the sudden the air in the room seemed heavy. Hiashi watched his wife gently lifted their child to her arms. Yumi looked at him with shocked tear filled eyes that begged him to take her out of the dream.
A lone tear dropped from his eye. He stared at his daughter. His dead daughter. His wife then, hugged their daughter tightly against her chest.
Hiashi began to wrapped his arms around them when a soft yawn broke pierced through the silence.
The couple froze as they stared at featureless white eyes, and another toothless yawn erupted from the tiny girl in their arms.
Flashback End
Hiashi rubbed his forehead as the memory of what happened flooded his mind. That had been almost four years ago, and a lot had happened since then.
He closed his eyes as his brothers face appeared in his mind. He still couldn't believe he was dead. He would have been much nicer to him if he understood how Hizashi felt.
Flashback
"Hi-hiashi! T-take c-ca-care of Neji. And t-take care of Hi-hinata-chan. I-I was wrong to blame you or h-her. I-I'm serious, brother. I don't w-want my de-death to be useless." Hizashi said, blood trickling down his chin.
"Hn. .Hizashi .." He stared at his dying brother trying to figure out why he sacrificed himself for him.
"Y-you heartless bas-bastard," he whispered, "Say something el-else, would you?"
"Hiazhi... stop talking, you'll be okay. The medics are coming." Hiashi growled. Hizashi didn't reply, but just gave his brother a knowing smile and patted the quiet girl sitting next to him.
"Don't die Hizashi-nii. Neji-nii and Fuyumi will be sad." Hinata whispered.
Hizashi patted her head. Then he and his brother exchanged glances.
Hiashi stared at his daughter who was looking at Hizashi with a sad expression. His daughter looked so much older than three years old.
"Fuyumi-chan will be Fuyumi-chan." With that he slowly closed his eyes.
Flashback End
Hiashi felt two small arms wound themselves around his neck and he looked down to see a bright smile adorning his child's face.
"Daddy?" She asked, her forehead wrinkling slightly when she scrutinized him.
"Daddy?" She repeated, her eyes now worried. She looked at him with worried eyes.
"Yes, Hina-hime?"
"You were thinking about Hizashi-nii, right? Daddy, it's okay. I think he's happy because he stopped being the one in the shadows." She said in a quiet voice. Then she yawned and rested her head against his chest. "I love you, daddy. I love you, mommy."
Looking at the top of her head, he smiled. But there was something nagging at the back of his head, her view of the world was different. The way she acted was so mature, and if he was willing to admit it, it scared him.
When they got home, Hiashi set her in her bed. After kissing her forehead, he headed towards the master bedroom. His hand barely touched the handle when he heard his wife scream, "Hiashi! My water broke! The baby!"
Wrenching the door open, he grabbed his wife and ran to the hospital. He made it to the hospital in record time.
The nurses saw him and brought a stretcher.
Hiashi remembered the procedure and decided to stay out. Fuyumi, Yumi's sister, came along with a sleepy Neji and a worried Hinata in tow.
"What happened? I heard her screaming."
"I don't know. The child was suppose to come out next month." Hiashi said, his voice hard.
He felt his throat close, then he heard fireworks. Memories of Yumi, flooded his mind. The day they met, their very first date, their first kiss, and the last was when they had a family picnic.
He closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the sudden pain in his heart.
After a few minutes later, A nurse came out with a bundle in her hands. He immediately stood up and walked towards the two.
"You have a healthy baby girl." The nurse said, her eyes refused to look at his.
"What's wrong?" He had a sinking feeling. He activated his kekkei genkai, "Byakugan."
He froze as he failed to see his wife's chakra flow. Just her lifeless body.
"No. No!" He tried not to cry but failed. Distinctly he heard Fuyumi's frantic voice, and Hinata's soft voice asking if he was alright but he chose to ignore it. His wife was gone. She left him, when she promised not to do so.
"Wait! Daddy! Daddy, don't go!" He distinctly heard his daughter's pleading voice. He felt her gripping his clothes but she brushed her aside and slowly walked out. Slowly then picking up the pace.
Running blindly, and letting his feet take over, he ended up at the meadow that they had their family picnic. Panting, he fell to his knees, and let out a agonizing scream.
"Come back. Come back! Please come back! "
"Hiashi! That's enough! Use your head! She's not fully dead. One's chakra doesn't stop functioning until after, at least, two hours. She'll be alright. I'll take her body with me so I can have her checked by our grandmother. It'll be alright. We'll be back before you know it. So man up, Hiashi. She'll come back one way or the other. But she won't be happy when she comes back if all you do is brawl your eyes out and neglect your children." Fuyumi's voice was barely recognizable to him.
His mind couldn't think straight, and the next thing he knew, he was back at the compound. He felt two different chakra on either side of him. One, he recognized as Hinata's, and the other one was of a baby. It was his second daughter, the one Yumi and him and decided to call Hinabi.
He laid there listening to the two sisters breathing. Hinata's breathing was soft, barely heard while Hanabi's seemed to slightly louder and ragged, but both were in sync with each other.
"I have to go. Please take care of Neji. I cannot tell you anything just that I have to leave for the moment. When he is older, tell Neji that I will come back for him. This is for Hinata and Hinabi, as well as you and Neji." He remembered vaguely that Fuyumi had left after leaving him at the compound.
He looked at Hinata, then saw that on her ankle was a small blue crescent moon.
He sighed, and closed his eyes.
Far away from Konoha
"Fuyumi. Where's Yumi?" A grayed eyed man asked.
"Kaoru...she's in the village's care."
"What!"
"Yup. She's fine, I talked to grandma."
"Whatever. Why did you leave your little one?"
"Because he's the soulmate of the mistress of air. Besides I need to make sure they won't find them. I will protect my son and my nieces."
"So you lied to Hiashi."
"No, I told him she'll come back when she's alright. Right now, she's in a coma. She can't come back yet."
"I told you before, cousin. Our clan cannot have happy endings. Look at Saki, Hana, Mitsuki and Yumi. Saki and Mitsuki gave up their memories and their clan to men who left them with broken hearts. Hana and Yumi are both in comas. You are forced to leave your child, I wonder who's next." Even though he said it in a haughty tone, he grimaced.
"It doesn't matter. This is what needs to be done." She said as she looked up to the sky. I will come back Neji, Hinata, Hinabi... I hope you don't change Hiashi. Trust in your girls, do not underestimate them. Especially Hinata. Especially the Mistress of water.
Really sorry, people.
