(Authors note: Well, here we go, the first in my scheduled works, I kind of like it, maybe just a little. Hey, this might actually work! Oh, and Happy Update Birthday to one of my favorite reviewers, here's your present, enjoy!)

I will stand today, Just watch!!

"THAT BASTARD!!"shouted Neji, grabbing the dividing bar, gripping as if it were Hiashi's neck in his fingers, instead of cold steel.

"What? What is it? What is that symbol!?"asked Gaara alarmed, unable to tear his eyes away from Hinata, where she was trying to control her pain.

"That's the Curse Seal of the Side Branch jutsu, it places the curse seal of the Hyuga's on your forehead. The seal binds you from using large amounts of chakra, or from using the Byakugan." explained Hanabi tearfully, chewing her lip.

"WHAT!? The Byakugan's Hinata's best tecnique, she can't win without it!"shouted Gaara, grabbing Hanabi by the front of her shirt, shaking her until she became dazed, then throwing her aside, running to watch Hinata fight for her life.

"Hmhmmhmmhm..."hummed Sesshiara, skipping along, coming back from the bathroom, not really paying attention to the fighting, when all of a sudden he collided with someone, falling over in the process.

"Ooops, sowwy,"apologized Sesshiara, shaking his head as he tried to stand up, stumbling as he tried.

"It's okay. Here let me help you,"the strange man Sesshy had bumped into helped pull Sesshy to his feet.

Sesshy brushed himself off, examining the man he had run into. The man had green eyes, a very expressionless face, black hair of medium length, reaching to his shoulders, what apeared to be a paintbrush strapped to his back. His black shirt didn't quite reach his pants, leaving his stomache exposed.

The man was studying Sesshy as well, observing his Uchiha symbol on his brand new blue shirt, as well as his very familiar Uchiha visiage.

"Are you perhaps, Sesshiara Uchiha, legacy to the Uchiha line?"asked the man, reacing into his kunai pouch as he spoke.

"Yup, my Daddy's Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha's, 'cept for me."Sesshy replied, grinning.

"Hmmm..."mused the man, pulling a scroll out of his pouch, as well as a small paintbrush,"Does that mean, that perhaps, you know that woman down there, Hinata Hyuga?"

"Yup,"replied Sesshy proudly,"I know Hinawa too, she's Hinada's daughter. She's nice, I like her, me and her are alweady fwiends."

"Oh, well good for you,"replied the man, using the brush to paint strange symbols onto the edge of the scrolls he had pulled out,"Here, I was wondering if you could give these to her, Hinata, in four years time? Okay?"

He extended the scrolls the Sesshy, who looked at them, wondering what they were.

"Ummm, why don' you just give 'em to her?" asked Sesshy, chewing his thumbnail, confusion twisting his features.

"Because,"explained the stranger patiently,"I don't know her. And you do, so can I count on you to give these to her?"

"Oh. Okay!"said Sesshy, his confusion clearing up, reaching out and grabbing the scrolls from the stranger. They were strangely warm under his fingers.

"Oh, hey wait!" he called as the stranger turned to leave,"How will I know when to give 'em to her?"

"You'll know,"replied the stranger, turning and disapearing into the crowd.

Sesshiara was confused, but he simply tucked the scrolls away, quickly forgetting all about them, as he hurried to find his Daddy.

"How could he do this to me?!"thought Hinata, grasping her head.

It was funny, even when she was in so much pain, she could still think clearly, it was as if her thoughts were seperate from the rest of her.

"What am I going to do?!"She wondered, then it hit her, she remembered a time when her sister-in-law, Temari, had developed a new jutsu...

"Hinata! Hinata! Hinata, you'll never guess what! C'mon guess!" exclaimed Temari, racing over and grabbing Hinata into a huge hug.

"Temari...eghgh...I...can't...breathe..,"gasped Hinata, pushing away from her overly excited sister-in-law.

"What? Oh, right, Sorry!" exclaimed Temari, dropping Hinata, and helping to brush her off.

"Now what's so important,"asked Hinata, taking a deep breath, checking to see she still could.

"Oh well, do you remember the Chunin exams? Ya know, the ones where I fought Shikamaru Nara, and you fought your homicidal cousin?"she blabbered excitedly, practically bouncing.

"Of course, and Neji's not homicidal, he was just angry,"Hinata defended,"So, what about the exams?"

"Well, do you remember how Shikamaru used his shadows to beat me? That shadow jutsu thing? Remember?"she asked, still bouncing.

"Of course. How could I forget? You NEVER stop talking about how you're gonna go back and kick his ass."sighed Hinata, wishing she'd get on with it. She had better things to do. But listening to Temari talk was always fun, so she didn't mind too much.

"Well I've finally done it!"she babbled, jumping and doing a backflip.

"You've beaten Shikamaru Nara?"asked Hinata skeptically, arching an eyebrow, crossing her arms.

"No, of course not,"huffed Temari, annoyed, coming down off her happy high,"I've finally completed the jutsu I've been developing, so that he can't beat me. Duh!"

"Oh. Well then. Forgive me! I'm SO sorry to have offended you! Heaven forbid!"said Hinata, her voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Hmph. Well then if you don't care, I won't teach you the newest, awesomest jutsu EVER invented!"snapped Temari, turning to leave.

"Oh alright, Temari, don't go. I'm sorry!"Hinata called after her,"It would be an honor to learn the new jutsu!"

"Good!"said Temari, bouncing over, and plopping herself down in front of Hinata, patting the ground across from her.

Hinata sat down with a sigh,"So, what's this amazing new tecnique?"she asked, shifting into a more comfortable position.

"Well, the best part about it is that you don't need the Byakugan to use it,"whispered Temari, as if this were some great secret, that no one was allowed to know.

"Oh, what is it?"asked Hinata, becoming interested, against her better judgement.

"Well, it goes like this,"said Temari, showing her the handsigns...

Hinata whipped her eyes open, deactivating her Byakugan as she did so, pushing herself up onto her hands and knees. She was panting as she looked at Hiashi, hatred burning in her lavendar eyes.

He smirked,"Hinata, it would be best for you to quit while you're behind."he smirked condescendingly.

"I don't know HOW to quit,"she gasped, pushing herself up, until she was resting on her knees.

"Oh, and why not?"asked Hiashi, looking as if he were gearing up for a kill.

"Heheh. I don't know,but it is one of the things that drives my husband crazy!"She shouted the last bit, leaping into a mid-air backflip.

Hinata began to whirl her hands into the handsigns Temari had taught her,and began to summon minute amounts of chakra to the edges of her body.

"WHAT! What is she doing?! That seal prevents her from using her Byakugan! How does she plan to win without it?!"shouted Hiashi, leaping into the air as well, getting ready to avoid the coming attack.

Hinata was smiling slyly, getting ready to pull off the snafu of the century.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From where he was, Gaara's eyes widened as he recognized the jutsu.

He broke out into a huge grin. He knew what she was doing. This would be the end of Hiashi. He, personally, would make sure of that.

He got ready, waiting for the final handsign.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinata completed the final handsign, shouting,"SECRET SHADOWS,DUPLICATING CIRCUMVENTION!"

She landed on the ground, just as Hiashi landed.

Nothing happened.

Hiashi looked around wildly, waiting for the coming attack.

Nothing happened.

Hiashi was confused. She had tried to use a jutsu, of that Hiashi was sure.

But still, nothing was happening.

The whole stadium held their breath.

Then, without warning, Hinata's shadow began to change shape, morphing under the sun.

Hiashi gasped, as Hinata's shadow took on a VERY familiar form.

The shape of a tall person, with a strange shape on it's back, swirling liquid, or something, swirling around them, that stuff, it looked like...

Sand.

Gaara.

The Kazekage.

Revered for his strength.

As well as his love for Hinata.

That Gaara.

Uh Oh.
