Me: Yeah Submit to me Bitch!
Kyuubi: HAVE MERCY! *sound of whip cracking*
When Hinata woke up the next morning, it was because of cramps going up and down her back, especially at her tail bone. Hinata hugged herself, wishing that the pain would go away. Soon Hinata felt most of the pain ebb away and decided to go to the bathroom to check if it was her time of the month.
When Hinata took down her pants, she couldn't see a drop of blood, only the white cotton of her underwear. Hinata felt confused, but shrugged and blamed it on something she ate.
Hinata looked at the clock on her bathroom wall and sighed quietly. The time was twenty past two in the morning. Well, it's no good going back to bed so I might as well go outside and train a bit. With her mind set on training, she put on her clothes and made her way down stairs quietly.
She didn't count on the fact that her parents would be up at this time in the morning. But when Hinata passed by their room, she could hear her parents voices filter through the door. Slowing down so as not to alert them to her presence, she made her way passed the door. That's when something caught her attention.
"…How could you say such a thing, Hiashi?" She heard Hinako shout at her husband.
"How could I? You're the one who went behind my back and slept with that disgusting Demon! And you have the nerve to ask me How I could talk about your disgusting half-breed of a daughter!" Hiashi shouted furiously back at Hinako.
"How dare you!" Hinako screamed furiously. "The least you could do is show some courtesy to my daughter! The last time she came back from one of your training sessions, she had bruises running up and down her arms!" Are they talking about me? Hinata asked herself, scared that if she made a sound, her father would turn on her.
"What I do with your daughter during training is none of your business." Hiashi stated coldly.
"It is when you're hurting her intentionally! Hanabi told me that you asked Neji to come and spar with Hinata the other day. You know that Neji would do anything to kill Hinata!" At this point Hinako started sobbing in frustration.
Hinata felt her heart break when she heard her mothers' broken sobs, wishing that she could walk in and comfort her. But she didn't dare, afraid that she might get into trouble and be punished. She winced, the last time she was punished she wasn't allowed to leave her room for a week.
Finally Hiashi spoke again. "You know Hinako…" Hiashi said in a monotonous voice. "I don't know why I tolerate you and your daughter to live here. I should just exile you both from the Hyuuga clan for being unfaithful and giving birth to that demons bastard daughter. In fact, I think I'll get started on it right now."
Hinako started sobbing even more. "Y-you can't, Hiashi! I've already lost so much, my love, my freedom… my lover. I can't bear it if I lose my clan or my second daughter too! Please Hiashi, please reconsider your options." Hinako said, her voice broken by the sobs wracking her body. "Please! I'll do anything!" she shouted out in desperation.
Hinata could hear the smirk in Hiashi's voice. "Anything?" he asked in a voice that sent an unpleasant shiver down Hinata's spine. Before Hiashi could continue, Hinata ran past her parent's bedroom and outside, into the night sky.
Hinata ran to the training grounds and froze, scanning the training grounds to see if her father had seen her run past his door. She sighed in relief when she didn't hear any footsteps coming after her and started her training, mulling over what she had just over heard.
What were they fighting about? I know it was about me, but why? What did I do this time? Hinata questioned as she worked through her warm up quickly and efficiently, but not gracefully. And why did father call me a half-breed? Last time I checked I was fully Hyuuga, so why call me a half-breed?
Hinata furrowed her brows in thought and started doing the moves of her gentle fist style, minus chakra. And why were they talking about demons? She wondered, not noticing how her movements were starting to move smoothly, not the jerky movements that were expected from the weak Hyuuga heiress.
Hinata was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice the purple chakra that was slithering over her body, some of it resting above her head and at the small of her back. It wasn't long before the sun started to rise and Hinata was distracted when she saw the beautiful sunrise, halting her movement's midstrike also effectively stopping the chakra flow throughout her body.
Hinata sighed as she watched the sky turn from dark midnight blue, to orange, pink and gold. When the sun had full risen, Hinata turned around and walked into the house, her earlier questions forgotten as she thought of what she should eat for breakfast, then remembered that she wasn't supposed to eat breakfast and groaned. This is going to be the worst day ever!
Little did Hinata know that her day would have been much worse if she had finished that strike while she was practicing, for that was the undoing of the seal that she had unknowingly nearly finished… the seal that hid her demon features.
Later at Training ground 7
Naruto was sitting under the tree, listening to Kiba complain about God-knows-what and hoping to Kami that either Hinata or Kakashi hurry their butts up and get over here and SAVE HIM!
His wish was soon granted when Hinata walked into the training ground, poking her fingers together nervously, blushing a bit when she saw her two team mates look at her. Naruto smiled softly. Something's… different about Hinata today. Naruto thought, peering at the Hyuuga heiress, scrutinizing all her moves as she walked over to Kiba and him.
Kiba smiled happily at Hinata and moved a bit so she could sit in between him and Naruto. Naruto kept looking at her, trying to figure out what was different about her. Hinata turned to Naruto. Suddenly it dawned on him.
When Naruto looked at Hinata from up close, he noticed that her lavender eyes were a tint darker, seeming more like a light purple. Her face had lost a tiny bit of her baby fat and her hair was about an inch longer than it was yesterday. Also there were light lines on her cheeks, so light that if he blinked they would disappear. Hinata smiled hesitantly, showing slightly elongated canines and pearly white teeth.
Naruto blinked and looked at Hinata in astonishment. For a moment he had seen something… feral move in her eyes. For the second time in two days he felt his awareness trying to reach… someone.
In the back of Naruto's simple mind, sat Kyuubi, watching the events with light amusement shining in his eyes. 'Things are going to get interesting.' He chuckled softly at that thought and decided to stay quiet for a few more hours.
Two hours later
"YOU'RE LATE!" A frustrated Naruto and Kiba shouted to their sensei.
Kakashi raised his eyes away from his Icha Icha Paradise and looked at his students with a bored expression on his face. "Sorry I'm late… I got lost on the road of life." He said as he grinned underneath his mask when Naruto and Kiba fell down anime style while Hinata had a huge sweat drop on the side of her face.
Naruto jumped up and pointed an accusing finger at Kakashi. "LIAR!" He shouted out, glaring at the Jounin.
Kakashi smiled and let three covered dishes appear in a puff of smoke on the log next to the tree that his students were leaning up against. Kakashi noticed the curious looks on the genins faces and lifted the cover off of one of the dishes.
Hinata looked at the dishes and smelled the delicious food that was now uncovered. Her mouth started watering and her stomach grumbled in anticipation.
Naruto grinned at Kakashi. "So that's why you told us not to eat breakfast! You brought it for us! Thanks Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said excitedly as he started to stand.
Kakashi grinned evilly. "Actually Naruto…" he said as he saw the genin look at him with curiosity in his eyes. "This food is not for you. It's for the people who pass the genin exam, which are you three." He said simply as he turned to Hinata who had her hand up. At least I have one student that's polite. He thought as he nodded to Hinata, signaling her to ask her question.
Hinata blushed a bit as everyone put their attention on her. "B-but K-K-Kakashi-s-sensei, d-didn't we already p-pass our g-genin e-e-exam?" Hinata asked with mild curiosity. She had heard her father speak about this exam once in a while.
Kakashi smiled knowingly and said, "A very good question Hinata! But that was only the exam for potential genin. This means, since you passed that exam, you are all potential genin." Kakashi finished simply.
Naruto's eyes widened. I'm only a potential genin! What the Hell? Hinata and Kiba were thinking the same. "So, what is this exam about?" Naruto asked with interest.
Kakashi reached into his pant pocket, took out two silver bells and tied them to his waist. "The point of this exam is to get these bells off of me by half past twelve."
Hinata raised her hand again. "But Kakashi-sensei… there's only two bells." Hinata stated, pointing to the two silver bells that tinkled whenever Kakashi moved.
Kakashi smiled a creepy smile that sent chills down the genins backs. "Very good observation, Hinata. The reason there's only two bells is because the two lucky potential genin that manage to catch them will pass. The other, unfortunate candidate…" The three genin gulped audibly at the change in Kakashi's voice. "…Will be sent back to the academy." He finished, smiling a one eyed smile.
All three genin looked at each other, thinking of each other as the enemy. Hinata looked at Kiba and then at Naruto, determination in her eyes. I'm sorry Naruto-kun, Kiba-kun… but I won't lose to you two. With that thought, Hinata activated her bloodline limit and shifted into the Hyuuga stance.
I'm not going back to that hell hole they call a school. Naruto thought, eyeing his two team mates-turned rival. He smirked and looked at Kiba. You're going down dog-boy! Naruto thought as he glared slightly at Kiba.
Kiba smirked and winked at Hinata, making the cute Hyuuga girl blush slightly. Heh… whisker face, I'm gonna beat you to a bloody pulp then haul your sorry ass back to the academy. Kiba thought as he glared at Naruto in challenge.
Kakashi looked over his potential students and grinned in glee. Teehee (AN: gasp! I made Kakashi go teehee! Beware my awesome typing powers!) This is going to be FUN!
"You may begin." Kakashi said.
Me: Dun… Dun… DUUUUUUN! EVIL CLIFF HANGER NO JUTSU!
Kyuubi: *chained to the wall with a ball gag in mouth wearing tight, TIGHT leather pants and whimpering pathetically* mph mmmmmphhh!
Me: *winks at reviewers* I'll tell what Kyuubi's official… size is if you leave me lots of yummy reviews!
Sasuke: *shivers* R&R, Please… to keep me safe *whimpers pathetically.*
