Phoenix Rebirth
Remiel watched as Hinata's fingers began to glow. The glow sped up her hand, and then her arms were covered in golden light. Soon, her entire body was glowing.
"Valdescir, what's happening to her?" asked Remiel, worry etched onto his face.
"Why, this is the final phase of her ascension. Her flesh, purged by the Divine Flame, will burn off, revealing the highest form that body can achieve."
The pair watched as embers floated off of Hinata's body. Her hair had become a light lavender color a minute ago, and not one strand of hair was in her original hair color.
The embers' numbers grew, till finally, Hinata bursts into white flames.
Seeing Hinata ablaze, sent Remiel into a panic. He found the right jutsu, and was about to complete the handseals when Valdescir gripped his hands tight.
"But Hinata's on fire!" exclaimed Remiel.
"I know that, Captain Obvious. There's a reason why we call this phase 'Phoenix Rebirth'."
He let go of Remiel's hands, who had understood perfectly, thought his mind couldn't help but imagine that Hinata was in pain, though from the looks of it, she might've been just sleeping.
At last the flames subsided, and in the ashes, lay Hinata, asleep and no worse for wear.
She wore an unblemished sleeveless white hoodie, cut off above her stomach, exposing her abdomen. She also wore white pants that clung to her shapely legs. Her hair remained its lavender coloring.
Remiel couldn't believe his eyes. The beautiful girl on the bed might have been a stranger had ha not seen what she had looked like before.
"Go on, go to her, she's your gal after all." Said Valdescir, turning to light another cigarette.
Remiel approached, and smiled.
He brushed her hair behind her ear, and she stirred at his touch.
Her eyes opened, and he could see a hint of blue in her eyes.
"Hey."
"Hey."
Remiel smiled at her, Hinata smiled back.
"I had the weirdest dream...I dreamt that I got to speak with my uncle, and that he told me to tell Neji to loosen up."
Remiel suddenly kissed her, and Hinata could feel the joy and worry that was behind that kiss.
As they broke the kiss, Hinata asked...
"So, how do I look?"
