( STILL A FLASHBACK...) I'm not even going to bother editing this cuz i just want it up. Sorry for any mistakes!

The boy walked towards Hinata's sleeping form briskly and gazed at her with much interest and curiosity. ' Wow, she's really pretty.' He thought as he crouched down to stare at her sleeping face drenched in rain water. A small smile painted it's self into his lips as he gazed at Hinata's feature.

He took notice that she was drenched from head to toe from the rain. Putting his hands on her shoulder gingerly, the little boy shook Hinata awake with small force. " Hey...wake up.. your going to get sick if you stay here like this. " The boy said as he shook Hinata awake.

Hinata stirred and opened her eyes slowly. As she blinked to adjust to the water in her lashes, she meet a pair of deep blue eyes that looked like the ocean. They were friendly and child-like. Hinata looked at his whole face and examined it carefully to notice that he was indeed a little kid. He had blonde hair short and a nice smile.

She smiled weakly but cute which made the boy blush with an intense shade of red." Uh...hello...w-why are you in a place like this ? Plus your soaking wet. " He looked at her as she examined herself to confirm his thoughts.

Hinata noticed that she was soaking wet, her whole body felt twice as heavy from the rain water in her clothes and the amount of stress her whole body had been put through, but she just sat there and stared at her wet sleeves with no emotions at all.

The boy noticed that Hinata wasn't about to do a thing. Going through his pocket, he grabbed a white handkerchief and offered it to Hinata.

She took the cloth and started to wipe her face off with it. " Nothing much really...I don't really even know why I ended up here...it's just that..." She trailed off when she remembered about her mother's death.

A pain filled frown appeared on her face and her eyes saddened with the painful memory playing in her mind. She clutched the handkerchief with much force and looked down afraid that the boy would see her tears.

The little blonde boy looked at her with concern and then frowned. He put a hand gingerly on her shoulders causing her to look up slowly at him. " Why are you so sad ? " With deep curiosity and concern.

Hinata looked at the boy with no emotion as a pain filled tear fell from her eyes down to her recently dried cheek, she then looked away with still no emotions " My … mom... she...died today..." She said hesitantly in a monotone voice filled with nothing but sadness.

The boy's look at her became even more saddened by her reply. " I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon. " He didn't know what else to say because he had never lost anyone close or important to him.

A small laugh escaped from Hinata's lips as she thought about what the boy had said. " Feel better soon ? I'm already feeling better... Mother...She's a liar...She deserves to die..." Hinata looked down and fell silent, too stunned from her own words.

The boy looked at Hinata stunned silent from her reply. " No...don't say that. Your mother might have lied but that doesn't mean she deserves to die for it. " He was right of course, but sometimes the right thing should be said later on.

Hinata just sat there and listened with deaf ears. She didn't want to hear stuff like this...at least not yet, but it was no use. The boy's words started to sink in Hinata's mind like a ton of bricks. ' I know what you say is right... but ... it's too hard for me to accept that ... it's too hard ...' Hinata's mind was being clouded by the pain and shock of the events that occurred today.

The boy stared at Hinata with deep concern and sat in front of her cross legged. He could do no more for her, all he could do now was to offer his sympathy for her lost and her current state.

As Hinata stared at the wet grass, tears started to fall once more. A small sob erupted from her clenched teeth. Her whole body began to shake. She pulled her knees to her chest and cried.

Her small sobs began to grow. The boy crept up closer to Hinata and placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her into a hug.

Feeling the sense of safety, Hinata wrapped her arms around the boy and cried into his chest. " Am... I-I s-s-such a ba-bad p-p-person ? W-what did I-I-I d-do to d-deserve t-this ? W-why d-did mother h-have t-to die ! " Her voice was broken beyond repair.

The boy held her tighter and shushed her. " No, your not a bad person. Sometimes god just takes the people we love to test us. He wants to see if we are strong enough to live on with and without the people we love." The boy's words were slowly pulling Hinata away from the pits of depression.

" I...I don't want to be alone..." she said. Her voice was filled with fear and sadness.

The boy held Hinata tighter. " Everyone needs a someone in their life...no one should ever be alone and you will never be alone. I'm sure there are many people in your life that care and love you. Your mother is just one of them." He said reassuring Hinata.

The boy felt Hinata smile and nod in his chest. He smiled and continued to hold her. After a few moments Hinata calmed and sat there silently.

The boy looked at Hinata. " Are you alright now ? "

Hinata looked up at the boy and smiled. " Yes...Thank you so much for your comfort. " Hinata embraced the little boy and smiled at him.

The boy smiled back. " Your welcome. It's good to hear that your alright now. When your sad or lonely, just think about happy things. "

The boy had an idea and unhooked a necklace he wore. It was a silver chained necklace with a snake wrapped around a rose charm. The snake had small blue diamonds for eyes and a silver body with small dark blue scales outline. The rose was a blue crystal with a gold stem and dark green crystal for a leaves.

He held out the necklace to Hinata. She looked at it with great awe. " Wow. It's so pretty."

The boy gave out a small chuckle. " It's is. My mother gave this to me. She told me that the necklace is called " The Tears of The Blue Eyed Serpent ".The necklace is also a myth to the tale of how blue roses came to be. " He held up the necklace for a better vision.

Hinata looked at the necklace curiously. " I heard blue roses are very rare."

The boy looked at Hinata and nodded. " Yes. Blue roses were thought to have been myths because it was such an unusual color for a rose, but then my mother...she likes to travel a lot and one day came upon an island inhabited by rare plants and roses were the only flower that grew there. She called it Bara Shima or Rose Island. "

Hinata nodded with a smile as she continued to listen to the boy's story.

" She loved that place because of the roses. She would sketch the rose bushes and paint the roses in different colors so that they create a beautiful art work. " He smiled at the memories and then continued

" Then one day, the she wondered around the island's thick forest with only her journal, and got lost. The trail she left behind was lost and she couldn't find her way out of the deep forest. She wandered around the forest looking for a way out. She did nothing but try and find a way all day so when night came, she had no shelter. Looking around, she decided to take solitude at a nearby cave.

" It started to rain during the night so she had to go deeper into the cave. As she walked down the cave, the floor crumbled and she fell into a patch of grass. She looked around and there she saw, what she called the most beautiful thing in her life."

Hinata looked at him with anticipation.

" There, in front of her was a rose bush. A bush filled with the rare blue roses. Of course she was shocked to find them. Her favorite color was blue so you can guess that she was really excited." Both Hinata and the boy chuckled a little with small smiles.

" She walked towards the bush slowly. When she got close enough, she crouched down next to the bush. Just when she reach out to touch the blue rose, a snake came out and hissed at her." He held up the necklace once again and pointed at the snake in the charm. " The snake looked something like this."

Hinata nodded and waited for him to continue his story.

"She tried everything to get the snake away from the bush. All she wanted at that moment was to graze her fingers onto the rose petals, but the snake just won't budge. Not knowing what else to do she just gave up and admired the roses from a distance.

"After a few hours, the rain stopped and she left the cave. The rain, from what she said, created a stream down the forest. The stream led her to her camp.

"When finally reaching her camp, my mother decided that she would go back to the cave and take at least one petal from a blue rose and so the following morning she went back to the cave and to the rose bush.

"As she came close to the location of the bush, she stopped at what she saw. There in the rose bush was a single white one."

Hinata looked at him a little confused. The boy noticed her looked and said "You'll find out in a moment why the white rose was there."

Hinata nodded and motioned for him to continue with the story.

"The white rose was very common among roses so my mother decided to investigate why the white one was among the rare blue ones. She walked slowly towards the bush, but as she got close the snake yet again resurfaced. But the way the snake moved had been different from the past. It moved slowly, it looked sad for some reason.

"When the snake got up to the white rose, it started at the white rose. What happened next shocked my mother. A single tear fell from the snake's eyes and dropped onto the white rose. The rose slowly turn blue right before her eyes."

Hinata's eyes gleamed with wonder and tried to imagine a rose changing colors right before her eyes.

" After the rose turned blue, the snake fell. It dead after shedding it's final tear. My mother had taken the corpse of the dead snake with her when she returned home, but as she left the cave, the blue rose began to glow. She turned around and saw the rose slightly making an opening in it's middle. As it grew larger out came a seed.

"My mother had taken the seed along with the corpse of the snake with her upon her return. I was young at the time, but I remembered clearly when she told me this story. She had planted the seed in a large pot in her private green house, but it would not grow. She would dig up the seed and find it still in it's original form.

" She really didn't know what to do. She had wanted the seed to sprout so bad. To see those blue roses that she had seen in the island. Due to her sadness, my mother cried. A tear fell and dropped on the seed below her. As quickly as it fell, the seed absorbed the fallen tear.

" My mother had not returned to her greenhouse for quite some time due to her great disappointment. When she did return, she saw a site that brought her to tears. There in front of her was a fully grown rose bush with blue roses.

" She neared the blue roses and notices small white pods in the center of each rose. As she inspected the pods closer, it was made clear to her that they were eggs. Not just any eggs, they were snake eggs.

" The eggs later hatched into the same snake that my mother had encountered during her trip and the same exact snake that she has kept in the masters bedroom. Our family started to breed the roses and the snakes.

"My father changed our family crest. He saw how happy my mother was so he changed it into the snake rose crest you see here.

Hinata smiled at the boy as he finished his story.

"My mother says that if you feel sad and want to cry, just hold onto the necklace charm. The flower will take away all of your tears." the boy looked at Hinata and smiled to her.

"And now I want you to have it." He gave her a small smile as he takes Hinata's hands and placed the necklace into her palms.

Hinata looked at the necklace in her hands in total disbelief and then looked at the boy. Speechless, she just stared at him.

" Hello ? " He said as he waved his hands back and forth in front of Hinata's face. " Are you still there ?"

Hinata snapped out of her trance and looked back at the necklace. "I...I can't take this..." She said as she pushed the necklace back to the boy.

The boy smiled and pushed the necklace back to Hinata. " It's OK. You need it more than I do.

Hinata looks down at the beautiful necklace in her hands and then back up at the boy. With a smile on her face, she embraces the boy tightly.

The boy hugs her back with a smile on his face.

"Thank you so much for this...um..." Hinata looks at the boy confusingly. I don't know what his name is.

As if reading her mind the boy chuckles slightly at her confused face. "My name is Nathaniel. Nice to meet you...?" He gestured for Hinata to mention her name.

"Oh. My name is Hinata. It's very nice to meet you as well." Hinata smiled at Nathaniel as she held her hand out for him to shake.

Nathaniel smiled back at her and shook her hand. "Well Hinata, I must be going now, but remember, when you feel like your going to cry, hold onto the necklace and it should take all your tears away."

Hinata smiled again and nodded at Nathaniel. "I hope to see you again Hinata."

"Yes. I hope to see you again too Nathaniel." Hinata hugged Nathaniel and he hugged her back.

Nathaniel pulled away and looked down at Hinata. He stared at her eyes in a daze.

Hinata looked Nathaniel with a blush on her face. Nathaniel leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on Hinata's forehead.

Nathaniel pulled away from her and smiled. "Goodbye, Hinata. I really hope to see you once again."

Hinata smiled at Nathaniel and waved goodbye at his retreating form. "Goodbye...Nathaniel..." she said in a low whisper.

Hinata looked down at the necklace in her hands and smiled. She closed her eyes and placed the necklace around her neck.

She looked up in the sky with a determined look. "I think it's time to face reality."

Hinata looked down with closed eyes and started to walk back towards the Hyuuga Mansion.

"Goodbye...mother."

(End of Flashback)

Hinata grabbed the necklace hidden within her robes and let the moonlight shine on it. "I really hope to see you one day Nathaniel."

The door of her room opened and in came her room mate Draco Malfoy. For the first time, Hinata really looked at Draco. Her eyes stared at his and her heart stopped.

'Nathaniel?'
