I don't own Naruto! Btw Neji's about three years older than Hinata in this story so he's about twenty one. yeah!


Family History

"-But he abuses me and my daughter almost every day! You see the pictures in that folder!" Hinako yelled angrily. The judge slammed his mallet on his pedestal and ordered the court to quiet down.

"I'm sorry but Neji has no relation to you by blood. In the recent events of Hizashi Hyuga's death, he is to be kept in the household of his older twin brother, Hiashi Hyuga, your husband." The judge said in a smug tone causing her anger to flare.

"I already know that!" she yelled angrily and the judge shrugged his shoulders.

"I may have proof of Hiashi beating on you and your daughter, but there is no proof of this abuse whatsoever on Neji. His parents will states that he will stay with the brother of his father and that's final. Meeting adjourned." He said with another smack on her mallet.

Hinako's eyes started to water as she watched as an eight year old Neji left hand in hand with a smirking Hiashi. She growled at him.

"Bastard!" she yelled angrily as they left the court room. Hinata pulled on her mother's pant leg and she looked down at her.

"Why is JiJi going with him?" five year old Hinata asks sadly and Hinako looks at her daughter with the same sad eyes.

"Because Uncle Hizashi wished for it to be that way." She said sadly then picked up her daughter and put her on her hip. She never had anything against Hizashi. He was a kind man and treated the woman of the family with equality and never mistreated them. Unlike his twin.

Hiashi was a cold man at heart and always got what he wanted. That's how Hinata was born. Hinako was one of the few women who didn't fall for his charms and good looks. Hiashi, of course, never took no for an answer and so he got what he wanted, leaving Hinako pregnant.

He of course was furious at her. He blamed her for the pregnancy and told her that he would not love the child she would bare for him for it was a disgrace to have a baby out of wedlock. He was then forced to marry Hinako unwillingly to hold up the family name.

After the trimesters ended and Hinako finally gave birth to Hinata, Hiashi despised them both. He beat them almost every day. Even though Hinata was just a baby. Hinako being the strong willed woman she was, would often fight back to protect herself but mostly to protect her daughter. Her being a woman, was always at a disadvantage to his strength.

Hinako finally had enough and filed for divorce. it was granted though she kept his last name just to piss him off. Sadly at this time Hizashi and his wife died in a car accident on their way home leaving Neji in the hands of his abusive Uncle.

Hinako fought for him saying that he was practically a second child to her and that Hiashi would just beat him, but sadly they did not agree with her and left him with Hiashi for it was his father's dying wish.

"Ma…I don't want JiJi to go with that man. He will hurt him." Hinata cried into her mother's neck and Hinako only nodded.

"I know sweetie. I know." Hinako mumbled as they made their way toward their car.

Luckily it wasn't the last time they saw Neji. He would call every day and after school he would immediately go to their apartment knowing that Hiashi wouldn't be home till late at night. He would hang out with Hinata and Hinako as well as help around the house.

"What is this word?" Neji asks Hinata as he points to one of her new vocabulary words.

"Kuh-nuh-nuhiffe." She struggles and pouts. "What's a kuhnife. I never heard of that word." She says angrily and he laughs.

"It's knife. The K is silent." He said and she crossed her arms.

"Why not just use a N JiJi. It makes more sense." Hinata said a little irritated causing Neji to laugh again.

This went on for two years till Hiashi found out. Neji showed up less and less to their usually study sessions till he didn't show up at all. Hinako started to worry so she did the only logical thing that came to her mind. Call Hiashi.

She hated hearing his smug tone overall but she needed to know what happened to Neji.

"I sent him to military school. He needs to be disciplined." He said as if it was obvious.

"Dammit Hiashi! You know as well as I do that he is the most respectful child there is!" she yelled through the phone and she could have sworn she heard him smirk through the phone.

"Come to bed Hiashi." She heard a female voice through the phone and scoffed.

"You're bitch is calling for you." She said angrily and ended the phone call. Hinata looked at her as some tears fell from her eyes.

"Are you okay Ma? Did you talk to JiJi? When will we see him?" Hinata asked a little excited and Hinako shook her head.

"I'm sorry Nata, but we won't be able to see Neji for a long while." She stated causing Hinata to burst into tears.

Many years later Hinako found out that there was another war going on and that they recruited the military students to join the war. She and Hinata were heartbroken at the thought of Neji fighting for the country. They haven't heard if he was dead or alive so they avoided all subjects of Neji from then on.


"Where the hell have you been!?" Hinata yelled and cried at the same time. She wasn't going to lie to herself. She was balling like a baby in front of all her friends and she didn't give a damn. She was sniffling all over the place as she tried to wipe all of the tears from her face but failed miserably.

Neji put his arms around her and hugged her to death.(A/N: Sooooo OCness but I don't give a fuck[ Smokey voice] It's my story and I wrote it!) Many of her friends were baffled since they never scene Hinata cry. Especially her boys.

When she would break bones or got hurt she refused to cry. But here she was, crying like a baby who hasn't eaten for days.

"I'm sorry it took so long to come home." He mumbled into her hair and she only nodded as her crying subsided and only heard her sniffles.

"Dammit Neji! Couldn't you call or something?" Hinako asked as she too sniffled. He looked at her apologetically.

"I tried but you guys moved from the apartment. Hiashi wouldn't give me your number so I had to wait till I got home. After that I went to a local police station hunted you down." He said with a shrug and she smiled and pulled him down to kiss him on the cheek.

"I'll accept that answer. Hinata let him go so he can freshen up. Boys?" she called and the boys immediately looked at Hinako. "Take his bags and put it in the guest room." She ordered and they complied.

"Boys? Hold on…wait up. Boys?" he asked again and looked down at Hinata. She smiled and let him go. She wiped her face.

"Y-Yeah. These are my friends." She said and introduced all of them to him. He smiled at them and nodded.

"It's nice to know that someone helped Hinako and Hina." Neji said giving them a nod of approval.

"It was nothing. We just befriended her and it all sorta just happened." Shikamaru said with a shrug and Neji nodded.

"I have a question though…Which one of you is Hina's boyfriend?" he said in a dark tone. Everyone in the room looked in Kiba's direction and he visibly paled and gulped.

"JiJi…don't be threatening anybody now." Hinata growled and he laughed at his pet name. He waved his hand dismisvly but was glaring holes into Kiba as he pet her head.

"As I said before, Boys carry his bag to the guest room." She stated then walked into the kitchen. "Neji go and wash up for some dinner." She said.

"Yes ma'am." He said then followed the boys into the guest room. The girls stared at Hinata then walked toward her, minus Shion of course who went with Naruto.

"You had a brother? He's hot!" Ino whispered to Hinata causing Sakura to giggle but nod her head.

"Hey don't you two already have boyfriends?" Hinata asked irritated. They shrug and mumbled something along the lines of 'a girl can only dream'. "And technically he's my cousin…but then again he was adopted by Hiashi…." Hinata stated thinking while confusing Ino and earning a nod from Sakura.

The boys finally came from the guest room and all looked at Hinata for an explanation. Hinako from the kitchen already knew it was going to happen so called the remaining girls to help her with dinner. Kiba, knowing it was not his place to ask yet, decided to clean up the basement as the four of them talked.

Hinata silently walked toward the van and sat down, Indian-style on the floor.

"You said you never had any siblings." Sasuke mumbled and the two boys nodded in agreement. Hinata sighed.

"I know…but JiJi was a tough subject for me and Ma. Remember when someone stole my hair ribbon from my bag?" she asks and they nod. "And I threatened to beat the crap out of everyone till I found it, and then got expelled for beating up the culprit?" she asks and they again nod. "JiJI gave it to me. I haven't seen him since I was about seven. Before I met you guys he was my brother and helped me with everything."

"Hiashi sent him away and I haven't seen him since. We thought he died in the war because we didn't hear anything from him." She said with more tears welling up in her eyes and all of a sudden she was embraced by Naruto.

"You don't have to explain anymore. We get it." Naruto whispered into her ear and the two others nodded in agreement. She smiled at them as he let go and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Okay guys. If anyone finds out I cried like a baby, I will hunt you and your girlfriends' asses down, capisce?" she said gaining her tom boy demeanor again. They all smile and nod.

"So…what the hell's up with you and Kiba?" Naruto asks all of a sudden causing Shikamaru to laugh and Hinata to glare at him.

"What do you mean?" she asked crossing her arms and Sasuke rolls his eyes.

"You know what he means. When did you two start dating?" Sasuke asked and Shikamaru kept on laughing. "And what the hell are you laughing at!?" Sasuke asked then hit Shikamaru in the stomach.

"Oww! Damn no need to be so violent." Shikamaru mumbled rubbing his stomach.

"Yeah…why are you dating dog breath?" Naruto asks clearly irritated.

"Can't I just date someone without being questioned?" she asked a little angry.

"Not if the guy has been picking on you since elementary school." Sasuke said crossing his arms glaring at her.

"I think it's kinda nice for Hinata to finally settle down. It'll help her forget." Shikamaru stated lazily as he lay down. Hinata gave him a glare and Sasuke nodded in understanding.

"Forget what?" Naruto asked impatiently. "You guys are beating around the bush. Why are you dating dog breath?" Naruto asked angrily.

"Because he asked me out and I agreed to it. He was actually really nice and was a gentleman the whole time we were there." She huffed.

"As long as you're happy…" Sasuke mumbled and Shikamaru nodded in agreement.

"Good, because I was going to date him if you liked him or not." Hinata said stubbornly. Shikamaru could have sworn he heard Naruto growl and he smirked.

"Just no kissing, touching, groping, or sex." Sasuke said and all the boys in the van nodded in agreement.

"Oh brother…literally." She mumbled and the Sasuke and Shikamaru chuckled while Naruto was dead serious.

"Naruto!" they heard Shion call from the steps and they all looked at her. Naruto smiled and hopped out of the van. Hinata rolled her eyes and Sasuke and Shikamaru shook their heads.

"Naruto can you take me home? I'm tired." She complained and he nodded.

"Guys I'm taking Shion home so you can watch the movie without me." He stated and they all nodded and waved. He walked over toward house and took his mom's car (A/N: the van is Shikamaru's if you were wondering.) and left.

"So you knew about them dating." Sasuke asked Shikamaru who only nodded.

"He practically shoved me into him." Hinata said with a glare in Shikamaru's direction. "And I still need to get to get my pay back for it too." She mumbled and he looked at her.

"I thought you already got it when you tripped over me today." He mumbled rubbing his soar side.

"I don't know what you're talking about. That was an accident." She said with an evil smile and he scoffed.

"Yet you easily avoided hurting Ino." He glared and her and she glared back.

"Off topic." Sasuke said irritated and they both looked at him.

"When did he ask you out?" Sasuke asked and Hinata rolled her eyes and sighed.

"The same day Shion came back." She said and he nodded.

"So your dating him to get Naruto jealous?" he said raising a brow and she did a double take on him.

"What!? No. We didn't date exactly after that. He actually to me out for our first date a week ago. I then decided, with the help of Shikamaru of course, that he wasn't that bad and he would be good for me." She said with a nonchalant shrug.

"What do you mean he's 'good for you'?" Sasuke asks then it was Shikamaru who answered.

"She still likes Naruto and she was hurting when Shion came back and she needs to move on." He states earning another glare and a growl from Hinata.

"Shikamaru you are not winning any brownie points. I'm going to tell Ino all of the embarrassing things I know about you." She said angrily. Shikamaru winces and shudders as he has a couple of flash backs.

"So you think she's going to forget her feelings for Naruto if she goes and puts herself out there?" Sasuke asks thinking it over.

"Yeah. She still wears his ring for goodness sakes. She needs to move on." Shikamaru says and she growls again.

"I'm still here yah know." She mumbles angrily. Before they respond though they here a high pitched scream come the house and Hinako sticks her head out of the door.

"Nata! You better come in because it looks like Neji's terrorizing your boyfriend!" Hinata immediately dashes for the house groaning and mumbling something along the lines of 'troublesome brothers'.

Shikamaru and Sasuke chuckle then turn serious.

"Do you think it will work?" Sasuke said looking at Shikamaru who was still lying on the ground.

"Getting Hinata to move on or making Naruto realize that what he did was a mistake?" Shikamaru asked lazily.

"Making Naruto realize that what he did was a mistake." Sasuke says and Shikamaru nods and after a few minutes he speaks.

"Yeah. It will work…slowly but surely." Shikamaru states and Sasuke nods.
