Hanting Hinata

Ch. 7 "Who Are You, Really?"

I don't own Naruto or Bleach, but I wish I did.

A/N: Well… that was certainly hurtful!


"It all began when Aizen was experimenting on creating the evolved hollow, the Arrancars. It was about the same time when he himself created the gang you call the Visoreds?"

Rukia flinched. "That's impossible! That was a century ago! You can't be that old!"

Then, it clicked to her.

Naruto/Yoriko tried it's best to look emotionless, but failed. "I see you finally realize it, shinigami."

"What is it?" Sasuke was frustrated for being left in the dark. I'm so lost!

"You were actually dead to begin with." Rukia's eyes widened more than they already were. "Hinata was supposed to be an only child."

"Yes." Naruto/Yoriko was unmoving.

"You implanted yourself in Haruka, the day Hinata was born." Rukia shook her head.

Naruto/Yoriko smiled. "And how do you suppose I did that?"

"You split Hinata in half." Rukia implied.

Sasuke frowned. "That doesn't make any sense."

"Yes, shinigami. You are right." Naruto/Yoriko nodded, looking impressed that Rukia answered right. "I merely just copied Hinata. Exactly from her DNA to her physical outward appearance."

"When that failed, you tried again!" The pieces began to form and fit together. "With Hanabi this time."

Yoriko twitched.

"But before you were to be born, Haruka died because of the strain that she hasn't recovered from the first attempt you did." Rukia glowered.

"How do you know all of this, shinigami?" Naruto/Yoriko stared at Rukia sarcastically. "As of you yesterday, you had no idea of the phenomenon whatsoever."

Rukia shook her head disapprovingly and smacked her head with her fist. "I should've realized this sooner!"

Sasuke just scowled. What are they talking about? I can't understand anything anymore!

"I was there overlooking the death!" Rukia got her bracelet ready. "I was to lead Haruka into soul society."

Naruto's body trembled.

"Who are you, really?" Rukia asked, but she got no reply.

Just a gust of wind, and Naruto collapsing to the ground.

Yoriko has gone away.


Neji walked in the night air, obviously disturbed. "Had Hiashi-sama finally gone senile?"

He kicked the pebble just in front of him. "What is this talk about ghosts and 'haunts'?"

"And why would he ask for Uzumaki?" He made a face. "We should just go bring Hinata to a hospital."

To his luck, he only walked about a mile from the Hyuuga compound before he caught sight of Naruto, Sasuke and this dark haired girl. The three people Hiashi had asked for.

"Hey!" He called out.

The dark haired girl shuddered and turned around, standing in a pose that looked like she was ready to kick his head off.

He knew that stance well, because of his many hours spent with Tenten as she trained. It was also a stance that he favored using in fights; whenever he got into them.

"Hiashi-sama wants you back at the compound." He jogged towards them. "Something happened."

He heard Naruto groan and realized that he was on the ground.

"What happened?" Naruto rubbed his head. "Where'd Yoriko go?"

"She's gone." Sasuke stretched a hand out. "Now come on. We have to go check up on Hinata. Something happened."

That got him up to his feet. "Hinata? What happened? Did she finally fall in that coma you were talking about?"

"Coma?" Neji furrowed his brows.

"Idiot." Sasuke sighed and lightly pushed Naruto forward. "We don't know. That's why we're going to go and see."

"Hurry." Rukia was already ahead of them. "I have a hunch on what is actually going on."

Neji shrugged and followed her. "Might as well. I was going to back with or without you guys anyway."

What's up with him? He seems so; so un-Neji like. Sasuke eyed him suspiciously. Is Yoriko inside of him? But Rukia didn't react.


"Otō-san!"

Hiashi flinched. Not just because the voice was really loud, but because he still wasn't used to the title.

"Hiashi-sama." Neji appeared at the door way and gave a small bow. "I brought Naruto, Sasuke and the girl."

"Kuchiki Rukia." She said, emerging from behind him to do the same as Neji. "Sir."

"Kuchiki Rukia." Hiashi nodded, acknowledging her. "Tell me what it is that is going on."

"Though, only with your consent." Rukia looked at the hard mask that Hiashi was wearing, but to her trained eye she could tell that he was exhausted and saddened. "It has something to do with your wife and daughter."

Hiashi's expression flickered from utter sorrow and back to his expressionless face. "Proceed."

Rukia knew that it had taken Hiashi everything to even say that word. She was there when Haruka died, and the way Hiashi reacted was out of character for him.

It was the same reaction as the day when he had found Yoriko dead, but ten times worse.

Neji leaned on the wall just near the door way with his arms crossed. Though he wasn't really buying everything they were talking about, he was still interested.

"Haruka, your wife, was only supposed to have one child, the day Hinata was born." Rukia saw Hiashi frown. "Yoriko is actually a dead being who had taken advantage of your wife. Not only once, but twice."

"Twice?" Neji raised a brow.

"The day Hanabi was born, she attempted again, but Okā-san was already weakened from giving birth to Hinata." Naruto recalled the conversation he overheard while he was in the white room.

Hiashi winced. He knew the boy's intentions of calling them father and mother was good and innocent, but Hiashi still felt as if he was subliminally insulting them.

"So you're telling me that Yoriko was never supposed to be born?" Neji raised both his eyebrows.

"Yoriko was not suppose to exist." Sasuke still looked at Neji with suspicion. "Hinata was an only child."

"No." Hiashi shook his head. "There were already two eggs in Haruka when we went to get the sonogram."

"So she was expecting twins the whole time?" Sasuke glanced at Rukia and saw that she was as confused as he was. What?


Well, it just got confusing!

I am having a lot of troubles on this one, but I don't want to discontinue it.

Please give any ideas you may have!

Thanks for reading~!
