Hizashi woke up the next morning and looked around. She forgot where she was but realized it was her living room. There was an odd bump under her head. She looked at what it was and saw a shoulder. She jumped back a little and saw that it was Obito's shoulder. Her face turned a rose color and she got up. 'I can't believe I slept on Obito-kun's shoulder! Rin's going to kill me…" She ran up the stairs and went into her room to change.
------------------------------
Obito took a deep breath and lifted his head up. He glanced around the room he was in. It took him a minute to remember where he was. It also helped that Hizashi ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. 'I fell asleep here?' he thought. He stood up and quietly walked to the kitchen door. Hizashi was dressed in her normal outfit without the jacket, which was thrown over the back of a chair in the dinning room. She was making something for her breakfast in the kitchen and Obito planned on trying to scare her. He stood right outside the door, and looked in only enough to see where she was, but he would not be seen by her. Or, so he thought.
At one point, he leaned inside the door so see where she Hizashi was, but was hit in the face by a handful of rice. Hizashi had another fistful ready and was smirking at him. Obito wiped the rice off his face and looked at Hizashi.
"What was that for?" he asked her. She shrugged and turned back to the counter.
Obito didn't notice Ruka and her friends coming down the stairs. They looked in the kitchen right before there was a loud shriek. The girls saw Obito with is hand on the collar of Hizashi's shirt which was pulled away from her neck. His hand was open over the top of her shirt and a few pieces of rice where still on his hand. Hizashi was trying to get something out of her shirt.
"What happened?" Tenten asked as she came into the kitchen. She saw the site and was very confused. Neji was behind her and also wore a confused look.
"Obito-kun just dropped rice down the back of my shirt!" Hizashi said. She was shaking her shirt out, but the rice was sticking to herself and her shirt.
Obito wasn't really sure what to do. Should he smile, or would Neji kill him? Should he say he's sorry? He was lost.
"Oh, is that all?" Tenten smiled. "She probably deserved it." She walked into the kitchen and started getting breakfast for everyone else. Neji sat at the table and tried to ignore the frightened looks of Ruka's friends.
"Dad, what was that screaming?" Tora asked her father as she came into the room where Neji was.
"Obito just put rice down the back of Hizashi's shirt."
"Really? Do it again!" Sora yelled.
"Okay." Obito went for another handful of rice, but had his arm twisted around his back by Hizashi.
"Touch the rice and die, Uchiha," Hizashi threatened him. Obito smirked in response. She let go of him and pushed him towards the dinning room as if to say 'go sit down.' He sad down next to Neji, only because he didn't want to sit next to the crazy fan girls. He was sure not to look at Neji, just incase he was angry at him. Hizashi and Tenten came into the dinning room with eggs and toast and set them on the table.
"Finally, real food," one of Ruka's friends whispered to another friend.
"And someone sane is serving it," they whispered back. Hizashi glared in their direction and Ruka glared back. She leaned over to her friends and whispered something then sat back up, still glaring at Hizashi.
Riku didn't like the odd silence, so he broke it. He threw a cooked egg and a piece of toast up and they both landed on Hizashi's head. She was already at her limit with him, so she finally snapped. She stood up, grabbed the back of his shirt as he began to run away and pulled him back, putting both his arms behind his back. "Do anything like that again, and you're dead." Riku tried to pull away, but couldn't. He nodded in response and tried even harder to get away. Hizashi let go of him and sat back down. She received the worst glare from her father and her mother was looking angry.
"I'm done." She pushed her chair away from the table and started walking away.
"You didn't eat anything," her mother said.
"I'm not hungry. I'm going to visit Hiashi-sama." She grabbed her sandals, slammed the back door shut and walked towards the Hyuuga main house. Luckily it wasn't that far away so she walked there without her sandals on. Once she arrived, she was greeted by one of the servants.
"Good morning, Hizashi-chan," she said cheerfully.
"Good morning. Is Hiashi-sama home?"
"Yes, let me get him for you."
"No need," a deep voice said from behind Hizashi. She turned around and bowed to the head of the Hyuuga family. He had matching silver eyes, just like all of the Hyuugas. His dark brown hair went down to his waist. He had on a plain white kimono looking outfit with a black tie around it. He didn't have a headband on, but he didn't really need it. He was her father's uncle and the brother of her grandfather, the one she was named after.
Behind him was her father's cousin, Hinabi, and the heir to the Hyuuga main branch. She had a black fishnet shirt and a black open shirt over that. A black tie was around her waist and knee length black pants. Her face was not like her older sister's at all. It was more like her father's, but looked cheerful when she wanted to be.
Hizashi stood up but kept her eyes to the ground. "Do you have a moment, Hiashi-sama?"
"Yes, come with me." He walked down a hallway with Hinabi and Hizashi following him. After going outside of the main entry way and walking on a wooden path, they entered a room with traditional bamboo floors with black bands running in cross patterns that held the large bamboo squares in place. Hiashi and Hinabi sat on the floor away from the wooden path. Hizashi set her sandals outside the door, came in and sat across from them. Her eyes were still looking at the floor.
"You can look up, Hizashi," Hiashi told her. Hizashi closed her eyes then looked up at the two Hyuugas.
"I'm sorry for coming by so suddenly. I just needed to talk to someone."
"Why didn't you talk to your parents?" Hiashi was somewhat confused.
"Because it's about them, Hiashi-sama. I think they might be disappointed in me."
"Why would you think that?"
Hizashi took a deep breath then said "Because I don't think I can be what they want me to be."
"What do you think they want you to be?" Hiashi asked Hizashi. Hinabi was sitting in the background quietly.
"More like Kenta. He's a powerful member of the ANBU, graduated top of his class and is polite to everyone he meets. He activated his byakugan at age three and can use it better than anyone in my family except for my father. Everyone can trust him and he's about to be engaged to Izumi Uchiha. I'm nothing like that. And on top of everything, he doesn't have this thing." Hizashi untied her headband from her forehead. It exposed the light green X-looking mark. It was the cursed mark of the Hyuuga clan, put on the cadet branch as children to make sure they would never kill a member of the main branch.
Hiashi's face was still as firm as it ever was. "That mark was put on you to protect you."
"Protect me? How can this protect me? All it does is hurt me whenever Arashi pisses me off!"
"It protects you by stopping you."
Hizashi paused. "I'm not following you."
"Would you rather be hurt by that or would you rather die because you killed someone?"
Hizashi saw what he was saying. She looked down again. She would rather have been stopped before she killed someone than to be killed for doing it. Hiashi saw the look on her face change as she realized what he said. "I get it now."
"That mark protects both main branch members and cadet branch members. Even though it seems like you're dying when it's activated, in the long run it's for the best. What about the rest of the things? You said Kenta activated his byakugan when he was three? If I remember correctly you first used it a day before your third birthday."
"But it took me a year to finally master it. Kenta mastered it in a week."
"It took your father a while to master it too. And he's still working on making it better. There are things that not even the best Hyuuga can master. And about the rest of the things, you just have to work on them. Don't threaten everyone that looks at you the wrong way, for one thing."
"I don't--"
"I've seen you around the village. You've done that multiple times. Many other people have seen you yelling at others too. As for people trusting him, the fact that he's polite playing a large role in that. I haven't heard anything about him being engaged. I'll have to speak to him about that."
"He's still in the ANBU. I don't think I could ever get in the ANBU."
"You're right; you couldn't get into the ANBU. It's not because you're not strong enough, it's just that you wouldn't make it. They're a very strict group. You wouldn't enjoy being in a group like that. And you shouldn't be ashamed of that mark like your father once was. You should be proud that you're part of such an elite clan that a section of it needs the mark so they don't kill others. It shows that you're powerful."
Hizashi looked down and closed her eyes again. She felt a hand on her head and she looked up to see the head of the house kneeling in front of her.
"What I just told you I didn't tell you because I'm the head of the Hyuuga house. I said it because you're the daughter of my nephew. I said it because we're family. Keep that in mind." He glanced towards the door they entered through. "Someone's waiting for you outside."
Hizashi stood up. "Thanks for listening, Hiashi-sama. And thanks for the advice." She walked towards the door and opened it. Outside Obito and Arashi were sitting on the wooden steps, waiting for Hizashi to come out. She smiled at them, put on her sandals and ran into the main courtyard with them right behind her.
"I remember when they were younger," Hinabi said as she watched them outside.
Hiashi nodded. "Time goes by so fast. Almost too fast."

Okay, that's it for today.
