Woke up at 7 something, but I needed to get my mind going. Starting to type at 9:30 now.

It is probably safe to think that this is taking place in Japan.

I wonder if I should label this under drama, haha

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

NOTE! Amaya is actually a Japanese female first name, not last name, it means "Night Rain." (Hint Hint). I used it here as a last name, and let's not bother with the nitty-gritty details. In the story, I always list last names first.

An OC, her name is Kohaku.

Chapter 6: Amaya Rin

Looking up at him with her pale eyes that marked her as a Hyuuga, she felt unbelievably dejected at the prospect of failing.

The cold, relentless rain spoke what her Hyuuga self was unable to express, and deciding to gamble her chances, she choked out pitifully, "Please, let me stay."

Former Hyuuga Hanabi, now Amaya Rin slowly opened her eyes to the bare ceiling of a small one bedroom apartment with a small porch attached to the bedroom. She brought her right arm up to her forehead and lay it there to shield the light coming from the porch. Not wanting to get up yet, she remained lying down for several more minutes before she moved her left hand to the cold and empty space beside her. She quickly snatched her hand back to rid herself of the foreign chill.

Deciding to check on the person on the other side of her, she lifted her right hand before smacking it down, expecting to touch empty space. However, a funny sound came out as her hand came into contact with soft skin. Surprise filled her face and she quickly retracted her hand before she slowly turned over, coming face to face with a woman she has grown to love.

"It was very nice of you to give me your personal wake up call," she said sarcastically while maintaining an amused tone.

Grinning sheepishly, she tried to change the subject by asking, "Where is Kohaku? We haven't completed the transfer for school yet."

The woman frowned, her voice shaking slightly, "She said she was going to visit… a friend."

Noticing her odd behavior, Hanabi knew she shouldn't inquire further. Instead, she chose to examine the woman lying next to her. The woman had beautiful amber eyes, completely opposite to the color of her bluish purple hair. Her hair color reminded her of Hinata, although her sister's was a bit darker. She no longer had a labret stud on her under lip; she wanted to present herself as serious mother. Hanabi herself had changed a lot, from a cold and reserved robot to a sensitive and satisfied girl. It was a difficult transition for her, especially to expressing her feelings.

Hearing the morning rustles from the other person, she started to get up too. Folding up her futon, she lifted the heavy load and walked to the closet to place it in. She didn't have to worry about picking out clothes either, since the only set of clothing that she had with her was her old school uniform. They came back to town two days ago for the first time in 5 years. It was rushed, like the day she left this town. She grimaced at the thought that just passed through her mind, and her old wound resurfaced briefly before she tucked it down again.

She decided to busy herself with cleaning while the other woman claimed the bathroom. When she reached the tiny kitchen space that was available, she noticed a note stuck on the refrigerator. Raising an elegant finger, she reached for the note:

Morning mom, Rin, ^o^

Mom, I am going to Konoha Headquarters to see Dad, I don't know if he is there or not, but I want to try. Sorry for lying. Don't worry, my condition has gotten better over the years thanks to Rin!

And Rin, the fridge is empty! EMPTY! We also have no clothes! We wore the same thing for the last three days… counting our time on the plane. Dad left us each a cell phone. I placed it in your bag.

Love, 3 Kohaku

Hanabi smiled sadly at the note before she fully grasped what was written on the note. Her mind in shock, she released her clench on the note completely, letting it fall to the ground.

'…Konoha Headquarters?'

For those who have read it right after I submit it, there was one obvious mistake that I made. I am deeply sorry for not editing. Hope you had a good laugh T^T
