Mitsuki was doing her homework at home when she suddenly had a vision. She was lying on the bed, leaning on her elbows. Then she gasped and dropped her pencil as she felt a sudden pain in her heart. She looked around. She heard someone crying and screaming very loudly. Then she came back to reality. Mitsuki gasped as she sat up right, leaning on her knees.
"Mitsuki?" Kakashi asked as he noticed her sudden movement.
Mitsuki turned to her dad. "I-I just had a vision."
He walked to her as she was moving her hands to her ears. He leaned in as if he was about to grab her hands.
"They were… crying and screaming so loudly… and painfully."
"Who was?"
"I-I don't know. But they sounded as if they were being tortured." She was starting to tremble. "I-I'm scared, dad." She looked at him with tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh Mitsuki." He hugged her as she cried in his arms.
"I-I don't know what to do."
"Did it sound familiar at all?"
Mitsuki shook her head.
"It'll be okay." He patted her head.
Mitsuki just nodded. She could hear the voice echo in her head. It was screaming, crying of pain. So loud, as if they've been suffering forever. Mitsuki was trembling. She didn't know what it meant.
-.-
"Hinata-sama!" Neji pushed his heiress back. "Uh" Neji didn't know what to say.
Hinata backed away. Her head was lowered, casting a shadow over her eyes. "I'm sorry, Nii-san. I don't know what came over me." She was pent up with many emotions. She was frustrated, sad, and angry. She wanted to fight someone, but she wanted to be loved. She wanted to do anything, anything to distract her. She winced as she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her hands. She turned away.
"Hinata-sama"
"We should go. I'm sorry, I won't tell anyone. It's best we forget this ever happened." Hinata ran home.
Neji just stood there, confused. He grabbed her things and walked home, trying to figure out what happened.
-.-
"I better get home." Naruto said as he grabbed his stuff.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, then." Sakura smiled.
Naruto stopped at the door way. "Sakura."
"Hm?"
"What did Hinata call for?"
Sakura didn't think of a lie yet, she was distracted since the phone call. "She, uh… wanted Sasuke's number."
"What for?"
"She wanted to finish the project with him. I guess they're not done yet. Which reminds me, I should get Kiba's number, so I can finish the project with him." She pushed Naruto out the door. "I have a lot of work to do. See ya tomorrow."
Naruto stopped the door from closing.
"What?"
Naruto leaned in and kissed her. "Bye Sakura." He turned and left.
Sakura closed the door and leaned against it. She was having flashbacks from when she was with Sasuke. Sasuke did almost the same thing.
"You forgot to give me a kiss goodbye."
"Oh right." Sakura kissed Sasuke.
"That's my girl. Don't push yourself, okay?" Sasuke smiled, then left.
Sakura slumped to the floor, feeling a tear slide down her cheek. "Sasuke…"
-.-
The heiress skipped dinner. As in she told the servant that she wasn't feeling well, so she was going to bed early. Hinata was able to fall asleep fine. But she was tormented even more. She had sweet dreams of her time with Naruto, but she also had nightmares of Sakura and Naruto together.
Neji couldn't sleep at all. He could hear sounds coming from his cousin's room. After about an hour he finally got up and went to her room. He crept down the hall and knocked on the door. He could hear her mumbling, but she wouldn't answer. He opened the door and saw his cousin sleeping… wildly. Hinata usually sleeps calmly, not like she's doing now. And she's mumbling in her sleep. She's never done that before. Neji closed the door behind him and walked to her bedside. He shook her a little. "Hinata-sama." She was still mumbling and turned over. Neji shook her more. "Hinata-sama." Hinata rolled over again, but this time off the bed and as Neji was about to catch her, she ended up falling atop him on the floor. "Ow." He banged his head against the floor. He stared at his heiress as she was still asleep despite her falling off the bed. Neji sighed and couldn't help but smile at her.
"…" Hinata finally stirred in her sleep. She awoke slowly to find Neji's face before her. "Nii-san…" She realized she was atop and was about to scream, but Neji quickly put his hand over her mouth.
"Hinata-sama, please stay calm and quiet."
"…" Hinata nodded and Neji removed his hand.
"What are you doing here, Nii-san?" Hinata fixed herself, where she was still atop him, in her pjs now that Neji became self-aware of her.
Neji tried to ignore what was in front of him. He couldn't help it, now that Hinata kissed him and he became aware of her feelings.
Hinata was wearing shorts and a tank top, spaghetti strap. She would never wear this in front of her dad, so when it's breakfast time, she would usually put on a robe or change. But before Neji, she doesn't mind.
"Neji?"
"Um…" Neji couldn't help bur blush as he tried to ignore what was on his chest.
Hinata noticed him blushing, just barely under the moonlight. "Are you okay?" Hinata finally noticed that she was still atop him. "Ah, I'm sorry Neji. I must be heavy." Hinata backed off where she was leaning against her bed, sitting on her knees and legs.
"Thank you. And you're not heavy Hinata-sama." Neji looked away.
Hinata blushed. "Um, so what are you doing here?"
"I heard you talking in your sleep."
"Oh…" Hinata blushed at this. "I'm sorry I kept you awake."
"It's okay, I wasn't really sleeping anyway. I was thinking about other things." Neji lowered his head.
"Like what?" Hinata said, but when he looked other she just remembered what she did before came home. "Uh…" Hinata sighed. "Neji… I'm sorry again. I didn't mean to… keep you from sleeping. Once again, I caused you trouble."
Neji scooted forward. "Hinata-sama, do you really like me?"
Hinata looked away. "Um…" She tried to think about it. Back then, it seemed like the right thing to do, but now… "Do you like me?"
"…" Neji blushed and looked away. "Uh…" They were both red and embarrassed, suddenly feeling shy.
"Neji… I do like you, but I'm not sure which one…" Hinata looked down.
"Me too." Neji said.
Hinata looked up, glad she isn't the only one. "Um, Neji" Hinata scooted forward. "Can I kiss you?"
Neji scooted back. "Uh…" He instantly became red which made Hinata giggle. "W-Why?"
"Because then I'll know if I like you or not. The last kiss didn't count because… I wasn't myself."
"…" Neji scratched his head and nodded slowly.
"Okay…" Hinata leaned in, but Neji couldn't help but lean back. "Neji." Hinata stopped as she noticed this. She sighed. "Never mind. I can tell you don't want to kiss me." Hinata sat on her bed and lay back. She turned her head and stared at Neji. She finally gave up and faced the wall, with her back to Neji.
Neji didn't look at her. He was thinking then he finally stood.
Hinata felt her bed move and faced forward. She saw Neji sitting at the foot of her bed. Hinata sat up, leaning against her hands.
Neji crawled over her, in between her legs. "I do want to kiss you Hinata. So much that it confuses me. Ever since that first kiss, I couldn't help but feel as though something was right… and something was wrong." Neji moved closer as Hinata listened to each word. "I know that I love you Hinata. I do." Hinata's eyes widened. "It makes me sad when you're unhappy. I can't help but want to make you happy. What ever it is, I want you to be happy."
Hinata smiled and closed her eyes as Neji kissed her. He gently pushed her down. Hinata was lying on her bed as Neji continued kissing her, so pretty much a make-out between cousins.
When they finally gasped for air, they sighed.
"This isn't going to work is it?"
"Not at all."
Neji got off and sat at the foot of her bed.
Hinata got up and crawled to him. She hugged him. "Thank you."
"For what?" Neji looked at her as she still hugged him.
"For being my Nii-san." Hinata smiled. "Because I love my Nii-san."
Neji slightly blushed. He patted her head. "I… love you too…"
Hinata smiled at this and let him go. "Um, I think I'll go to bed now."
"Good night, Hinata-sama."
"Good night, Nii-san."
-.-
Mitsuki decided to go for a run, so she could think about her vision alone. She jumped from rooftop to rooftop. She could feel the moon giving her energy. She stopped at the training grounds. She sighed as she stared at the water. She let her feet soak. As she stared at the water, she saw two demons.
"Who was that? I've never heard that voice before. Is it someone I'm going to meet?"
"It's possible." Luna said.
"It could've been that person." Terra said.
"Screaming and crying?"
"You could have seen into their past." Terra said.
"I don't like it. I'm scared. I don't want to hear it again."
"Visions are something that can't be controlled. They just happen."
"I can't just stop, like water bending when the moon is full?" Mitsuki glanced up.
Mitsuki suddenly felt Luna. Her arms started to move on their own. "Stop." She said, but her arms and hands disobeyed as they started to dance. Mitsuki was bending the water around her. "I said stop!"
"Why?" Luna dropped her arms and the water splashed into the stream.
"You know why!" Mitsuki was angry that Luna made her bend under the full moon.
"The whole point of you leaving was to gain control. Are you not in control enough for you to blood bend anymore?"
Mitsuki didn't answer.
"Well?"
"I don't know!" Mitsuki huffed. "I don't…"
"Then you shouldn't have come back. Your training has not been completed yet."
Mitsuki became angry at this. "I've trained long enough to know what I can and cannot do. And I can't blood bend."
"That is a lie. You can blood bend, Mitsuki. You're just scared." Luna said.
"…" Mitsuki stared at her hands. She could feel the blood pulsing through her body.
"You're scared of what you might do. You're scared of losing control again."
"Shut up."
"Face it, Mitsuki. Embrace what you are. Do what I gave you power to do. Blood bend!"
"Shut up!" Mitsuki yelled, not realizing she was too loud. "I don't want to blood bend! I refuse to!" Mitsuki made the water from the stream move without thinking.
"Do not deny what you are able to do Mitsuki. One day, you will need to blood bend."
Luna took control of Mitsuki's hands and moved them elegantly.
"Stop controlling my body!"
"Then do it! Prove that you are able to blood bend! Or"
Mitsuki turned to the trees and felt someone's blood. "No."
"I shall show you what you are really capable of."
"M-Mitsuki." He floated in the air. His limbs straight and stiff. He couldn't move at all.
"Shikamaru…" Mitsuki could feel a tear coming. "Stop!"
"Do it!"
"I-I can't." She sniveled.
"Then"
Mitsuki's eyes flashed blue and her tears stopped as her look became serious instead of sad.
"Mitsuki?" Shikamaru couldn't move at all, but noticed that something was wrong with her.
Luna threw him aside, making him scrap against the ground and roll to a stop. Luna smiled and walked toward him.
Stop! Mitsuki screamed from inside.
"Will you blood bend?"
Never!
"Then, I shall play with him a little more."
Shikamaru slowly stood up and stared at Mitsuki. Her eyes were a deep blue.
Luna didn't say anything, but held out her hands and bended water at him.
Shikamaru dodged and was about to pull out a shuriken, but then remembered it was his girlfriend. "Mitsuki!" He yelled, trying to reach her.
Luna smiled and controlled his body. Shikamaru was in the air again. This time though, a shuriken came flying at Luna that made her lose concentration. She dodged, dropping Shikamaru.
"Mitsuki, what the hell are you doing?" Ino stepped forward.
"Ino, get back! It's too dangerous!" Shikamaru warned.
Ino?
"More dolls to play with."
Luna smiled widely that made Ino shudder.
"Shikamaru are you okay?" Ino ran to his side.
"How did you-" Shikamaru stopped mid-sentence as he felt his blood becoming warm.
"Stop Mitsuki!" Ino made hand signs.
"No, don't" Shikamaru couldn't stop her.
Ino's body slumped as her mind went into Mitsuki's.
