Chapter 25: The Mermaid Princess

[April 30; 10 months since the Crying Lights of the West; 2 years and 9 months since Naruko "died" in VoE]

Dodge straight open palm by moving head to the right and right hand to strike the tenketsu. Attack is blocked by left hand grabbing right then swiftly attack with open palm strike to the chest. But opponent dodges to the right now and brings down right hand with fingers extending onto left shoulder. Counter by quickly moving into the opponent's defense and use left arm to grapple opponent's waist. Now in quick succession, put right foot between leg and behind opponent's left foot.

Opponent realizes stance and uses balance on right leg to spins to his right. During this opponent uses momentum to attack neck. Only tactic left is to role forward and with this done spin and face the opponent. Opponent is quick and attacks with balance still out; must dodge multiple times at fast a pace.

2 hits dodge as well as the next 2. But attacks get faster only 2 hits blocked while 2 land. Now attacks increased by 8. Only 2 are dodged, 2 blocked and last 4 land. Opponent attacks become faster 3 dodged, 4 blocked, 1 grazed and last 8 land with enough force to lose foot. This gives opponent opportunity to continue the next sequence of attacks…

'I not finished yet!' she thought as she fell back. During this she crossed her arms, fist closed, over her ample bust…

"Gentle Fist Art: One Blow Body!" Hinata Hyūga cried out and expelled as much chakra from every tenketsu in her body as she fell.

This causes an explosion of pressure around her in a bubble formation almost similar to the Kaiten. But instead of creating a rotating sphere of chakra, this technique created a temporary bubble of pressure around the caster. As such her opponent was flung backwards and it gave her the chance to spin during her fall. This, in turn, put her in better balance as she fell into rocket starter stance and blasted off running at him.

He saw this and created his Kaiten. Hinata saw this created her own Kaiten as she was running to him. The initial clash between the two shields sends a small shockwave through the training hall which rattled some of the decorations. But it did not stop there, because now both Hyūga's Kaitens were fighting for dominance. The speed of the spinning spheres were fast enough that they were creating sparks. But the true prove of the power of the spins sphere was that they started to sound like screeching metal.

But the clash didn't last more than 30 seconds and when the techniques stop both fighters were seen in mid spin. Hinata took this chance to stomp her right foot on the ground and pushed to start running opponent. Both palms open to…

"TIME!" screamed the referee of the match.

This causes Hinata to shot her hands into the group while using the Vacuum Palm. The reason for this for was to use the pressure from the attack so she could jump over her opponent. But she still had to do a spin in the air as she was over his head. As such she fell on her feet and behind him.

"Are you alright (pant) Neji-niisama?" Hinata asked in a cold tone that she had started using every time she was in the presence of the Hyūga Elders.

"Yes (pant) Hinata-sama" Neji responded while turning slightly to see his cousin.

'It's incredible to think that almost 3 years ago she could barely stand against me. Now she actually fights me head on and can match me almost blow for blow. Guess that's the reason she's the only other person in our generation other than me to have become Jōnin rank.' he though proud as he saw the woman his cousin/little sister had become.

"Well done Neji, but you left yourself open Hinata. That…" Hiashi started but was interrupted by the cold and sharp voice of his eldest daughter.

"That is not proper behavior for the heiress of the Hyūga Clan. Thus, I must be strong, perfect, précis, and excellent in my movements. Therefore, by letting myself be overwhelmed by someone from the Branch Family, I showed weakness in the Main Branch. Do not worry Hiashi-sama, I will train more and not let it happen again." Hinata finished for him in an almost mechanical fashion.

'If only she have not developed that habit for every time Uncle or the Elders berated her it would splendid. It's just creepy the way those words sound when she says them.' Neji commented mentally as he saw once more Hiashi and the Elders look between proud and angered.

After all, to them Hinata had assessed her skills correctly, but at the same time she had taken away they're chance to tell her wrong. This act after a training session had started about a year after the VoE mission or at least that's what he noted. Either way, whenever Hinata would do something "wrong" during training she would point it out before someone else did. Not to mention joining it with a "showed weakness in the Main Branch". This in turn angered the Elders because they knew it was an insult but they couldn't do anything since she was saying it as an "insult" towards herself.

"Where are you going Hinata-sama?" one of the Elders questioned when he noticed that the heiress started leaving the dojo.

"To get a shower and then go to the hospital for my rounds. I may be the heiress of the Hyūga Clan, but I'm also a Jōnin and a medic. As such it is expected of me to serve the populace of Konohagakure in their time of need." the dark blue haired female replied without turning. 'Not that you old bastards remember that.' she added in her mind remembering some of the time the Elders would forget about that fact and put the clan first.

"I will have to excuse myself as well since Gai-sensei said Team Guy would be doing a mission together." Neji reported with truth, but at the same time taking the chance Hinata had open. 'I got to remember to give her a cinnamon bun for this.'

[Same day at 9:30am in Konoha Hospital]

"Careful Moegi-chan. Remember that you need to keep control. That is the key." a pink haired kunoichi with emerald eyes of 17 years guided her orange haired junior medic.

"I know Sakura-sempai, but it's just hard." complained Moegi as she tried to help the fish they used for practice. They process was slow going; at least she was making more progress than the other trainee in the room.

"Try and think of something that makes you calm first." Hinata's voice was heard and Moegi did as suggested. So she inhaled and exhaled slowly. This caused the cut on the fish to start healing at a faster pace.

"Yes! That's it Moegi! You did it!" Sakura cheered at her junior, when she saw the girl's progress until the fish was healed completely.

"Thanks Hinata-sensei!" Moegi yelled happily at seeing the fish start flaying lively. But not everyone was happy

"Grr" was the sound of a brown haired Hyūga girl that was one year younger than Moegi.

"Hanabi-chan, what's wrong?" inquired Hinata to her little sister upon seeing little progress from the girl.

"I just can't get it! (sigh) It just feels weird." commented Hanabi as she struggled to heal the fish. No matter what she did it felt like she was moving her chakra the wrong way.

"I know what you mean Imouto-chan. It was hard for me too, since using chakra for healing is so different from using it for hurting, but you'll get it over time." explained Hinata as she saw her sister try to heal the fish.

But Hinata had been telling the truth to her sister. After all the Gentle Fist was meant to inject your chakra into a person's body and destroy it. But when you use healing jutsus you are doing the exact opposite of the Gentle Fist. This meant that, for a user of the Gentle Fist, learning healing was much harder than it would be for someone else. But it's also this fact that would make a Hyūga a great medic because it would make it so they know both forms.

In fact, Hinata had been trying to join the techniques. She had only managed to make one technique out of it. Said technique was so horrible that she immediately showed Tsunade. The Hokage, for her part, was horrified, disgusted and awestricken by the power that technique held. Tsunade-sama then told her that she should only use that as a last result because if knowledge of such a technique were to exist again, people would die. Hell, Tsunade even said that no one should even know the she recreated that technique.

"You're still 11 and even if you graduate a year earlier you still have time to learn." Hinata spoke with a motherly tone as she patted her sister's shoulder seeing that the girl was not making any progress. 'But she's getting close to a break through. I'm sure that soon she will be able to start healing.'

"Hey, don't you girls have to meet your team?" Sakura commented as she saw the clock, which was now signaling 10:15am.

"Oh, yeah! Come on Hanabi! Kono-kun and Udon-kun must be waiting!" Moegi said as she put her fish on the tank and ran out of the room.

"Okay and thanks Onee-chan." Hanabi remarked as she bowed and ran after her teammate.

'I'm actually surprised Tsunade-sama let us be a four man squad. I know that thanks to me been a year advanced they have an odd number of graduates but it's still rare. Heh, poor Ebisu-sensei has to put up with us plus Konohamaru-baka's antics.' thought the 11 year old girl with a small blush as she remembered the Sarutobi of their group.

"Bye girls! Gives you hope for the future doesn't it?" Sakura inquired to her superior rank fellow medic. Said medic didn't respond to her question something that the Haruno noticed the Hyūga did around her more often than not. "Hinata-chan?"

"What Haruno-san?" Hinata asked with a cold voice without turning from healing the fish Hanabi couldn't.

"Come on, Hinata-chan don't be like that." the Haruno commented trying to lighten then tension in the room.

"Be like what?" inquired the Hyūga as she put the fish in the tank. Yet she still had not turned to Sakura.

"Like that!" a somewhat frustrated Sakura pointed out "You were never this cold. What happened to you?" the pinkette questioned. At this Hinata did turn to her but with delicate raised eyebrow.

"I wasn't aware you knew how I was. Normally you only had eyes for the Uchiha." the bluenette spoke in cold voice but the sarcasm practically bathed the words.

"Hey! Don't get Sasuke-kun in this! He has..." the emerald eye female started but was quickly shot down…

"Nothing to do with this?" the white eye female asked with an incredulous look on her beautiful face… "I still can believe you defend that traitor." she then commented with a sad shake of head.

"It's not his fault! Orochimaru…" once more started Sakura, but once more was stopped.

"Only gave him a way, but the Uchiha was the one that chose it." stated the Jōnin to the chūnin. Then her eyes narrowed when she saw the other female was about to talk. Therefore she spoke before the other could and let the venom be felt. "Don't try to defend him by saying that the seal was controlling him. We all know that Anko-sensei has a curse mark and we do not see her going to Orochimaru for power."

"Is this because…" feebly started the pink haired chūnin, but didn't finish because of the intense glare that appeared in those white orbs with hints of lavender.

"He was the one that killed The Kyubi no Yoko and became one of the greatest heroes in Konohagakure's history." the Jōnin answered the unfinished question, but then sighed and started to turn way towards the door. "No, this has nothing to do with it." she added in a uncaring tone as if the matter didn't affected her. This for some reason angered Sakura…

"Then why do you act little such a bitch!" sudden snapped Sakura, but she gasped and covered her mouth quickly. "I'm so sorry… I didn't mean it Hinata." she tried to make her voice show it, but Hinata didn't really care about the insult.

"It's okay for you to call me that." the princess said as she reach the door and held the handle. "But if you want to know why I act like this…" it was at this moment that the air around the normally calm 15 year old changed. It became colder, heavier and most of all you could taste hatred in it. "It's because of people like you."

Those words sharper than any blade ever forged. Sakura herself had to take a few steps back and actually feel her throat to know it was not cut. Thankfully, it wasn't, but as she gulped it felt like it had been. Not to mention her legs had appeared to have become cement at that moment in time. Even so her mouth move before her mind could stop it.

"People like me?" the pinkette's lips whispered the question. But if one were look in that room at that moment, they would swear to have seen a mouse looking up at a very pissed off tigress.

"Yes" Hinata answered and it was point that the handle on the door was completely crushed. Something that should not surprise anyone considering the bluenette was Tsunade's second apprentice with Shizune being the first. "People that spit on the memory of a good shinobi and embrace traitors as their idols." The 15 year old finished and when she turned Sakura could something that she thought she would see on those slightly lavender white eyes.

Hate

"I didn't…" the emerald eye female squeaked out since she felt her throat suddenly close once Hinata turned completely.

The hatred that radiated from Hyūga Heiress was just too strong. It had been started to mix with the princess' killing intent to the point that for a brief moment Sakura saw the image of an enraged white tiger over the Hyūga snarling at her. The pressure of that hate was just too great and it just cemented her on the spot. Then the princess started to move towards the pinkette and each step felt it was the tigress getting closer to its prey.

"Then what was it you were doing 2 years and 9 months ago on July 14?" were Hinata's words.

But that question made Sakura remember that day. It made her remember how during that moment she felted proud, happy and sad. Proud, because Sasuke Uchiha had proven he was the better shinobi then Naruko Uzumaki. Happy, because they had been liberated from the taint that was the Kyūbi no Yoko. Sad, because at that moment she had lost the love of her live. But now, she only felt self hatred and disgust as she remembered the "her" of that time.

"For that matter, what were you doing on May 17 of that same year when we were holding Naruko's memorial?" The Hyūga princess continued to question.

"I-I-I…" Sakura tried to start, but how could she talk. How was she to say to the woman in front of her that she had not cared at the time? How was she going to say that the bluenette was right in saying she was the real monster? How was she to say that it was only after being isolated from her friends after only half a year did she started to feel bad? How was she to say she felt bad from that small amount of time when Naruko Uzumaki lived her whole life alone?

"Hating her and thanking every star on that sky that she was killed, right?" was the Hyūga's final question and at this moment she was within arm length from the Haruno. But that question was filled with so much hatred that it felt like poison. It made her stomach turn and contract as Hinata leaned in close enough that their noses were centimeters from touching.

"I hate people like you Haruno. I hate you because I now know that she sacrificed her life for people like you, and all you did was spit on her memory without a second thought." Hinata slowly snarled out with so much venom that Sakura felt like she was drinking it.

"I've changed." was the tinny whisper that escaped the lips of the pink haired chūnin as she looked down. 'Why am I shaking?' she questioned herself as her eyes started to water and she looked at her trembling hands.

"How and why? Are you a better person now because you understand what you did is wrong? Or is it that you want to make yourself feel and look better? Are saying you changed so you have your friends back or do you really mean it?" Hinata asked in a low but strong voice as she leaned away for the Haruno. Then she turned and walk towards the handless door but she stopped in front of her.

"The truth of the matter is Haruno that what I think of you doesn't matter." She said and pushed the door open but she didn't get out. "What you need to do is ask yourself why you changed and then go to her. Look at her empty grave and asked her if you have changed." after that she walked through the threshold but left the Haruno with one last set of words…

"Naruko Uzumaki is the one you wronged not me. Therefore it's her opinion that matters in the end."

With the she left the room and the sick Sakura. In fact the pinkette felt so sick she had to hold her mouth as she ran towards the bathroom to her left. Thankfully, she reached it, and the toilet, in time for her empty her stomach. It felt almost liberating to do so because during all of that time she felt like she was being fed poison. But now, she had the chance to escape that physical torture. Yet, the mental did not stop, as she spilled out the licked poison inside of her.

No, that mental aspect of that torture now attacked her without restraints. She remembered all of those times she would see Naruko crying in frustration during their training. How the girl fought against her weakness, yet all the pinkette did was put her down. She remembered all of the times Kakashi would try and help the blond and she would selfishly ask for trying with Sasuke so that the blond wouldn't be better. She remembered those times that it looked like Sasuke would lose during training and she would berated the blond, so she would lose and Sasuke would win.

Remember all of the time Naruko would try and help her yet she would not accept it. Then she remembered all of the time she and Sasuke would be saved by the blond. When they first fought Zabuza, it was Naruko's quick think that save Kakashi-sensei from drowning. When they fought Haku it was Naruko's clones and later demon chakra that saved Sasuke. When they in the Chūnin Exams it was the Uzumaki that save them from Orochimaru.

Then, it was Naruko that fought and won against Gaara. Sabaku no Gaara who was a jinchūriki was well and had released his demon on them. Yet, it was Naruko the fought him head on and won, thus saving the village. Then, the blond went with Jiraiya and found Tsunade Senju and saved Sasuke and Kakashi from Itachi's genjutsu. Not to mention, by bringing Tsunade, she brought their Godaime and at the same time the blond learned a jutsu that took their Yodaime 3 years to create in only a few days.

A technique that later saved them in almost every mission. Missions like the Land of Snow to put the princess back in power and Crescent Moon Kingdom, which was the same, but with a prince. Yet what did she, Sakura Haruno, do during this? She hated the blond because of that stupid dilution that the Uzumaki was trying to impress Sasuke. Something that was impossible considering that the blond, not once, showed an interest in either gender.

Yet, she scorched the short blond and became happy when she heard of the bonds death. She had even planned on ruining the memorial, but stopped because the Hokage was part of it. Then, only as time passed and she started to lose her friends did she questioned her ideas. It was only when she was close to losing her bonds that she tried to see things their way. It was only then that she started to get better. But because of her stupidity, she lost Kakashi sensei, who quit as the Jōnin sensei of Team 7 even with her being there. She even lost her spot as Tsunade's apprentice that Naruko had opened for her thanks to the way she acted.

"I'm so sorry…" she whimpered as her stomach finally emptied itself into the toilet. "I was so young and stupid back then."

Even so, the tears did not stop as she flushed the vile content in the water. No, her tears of shame and guilt ran deep in her cheeks. Those tears reflected that she knew what a monster she really was. Hinata had every right to be angry at her for she knew she deserved it.

"Damn it all!" she screamed as she punched the wall with enough force to create cobwebs on it. Yet the tears did not stop as she saw her reflection on the now clear water. "Why couldn't I stop and think? Why didn't I use my brain and realize sooner what a gift you were to us?" she questioned herself and her ability as a human being. "Is it too late to ask for one more chance? Do I even have the right?"

[May 5 of that year]

"WAAAAA!" cried out loudly a very hungry 4 month old baby in the Hokage office. At this Tsunade had to get up and breast feed her little monster. This in turn causes Hinata to take up the paperwork that had to do with low ranking missions.

Hinata may not be setting her sights on the Hokage title, but being the apprentice of one did come with drawbacks. One of these was that if Kage needed help the bluenette was one of the first people asked to deal with the paperwork. This meant that the princess was now fighting the never ending fight against the paper monster.

"That girl certainly is her father's daughter." commented a giggling Hinata as she saw the little white haired baby girl eating very hungrily from her mother's ample breast.

"Very funny" drily replied Tsunade as her pride and joy sucked to her little heart's content.

"Speaking of Jiraiya-sama, where is he?" Hinata asked as little Naruko stopped eating when she got full.

"On Mount Myōboku. He said something about asking the Toads about "Kings and Queens of Heaven and Earth" Tsunade responded as she tried to make the little 4 month baby burp. "But I didn't really understand that to tell the truth." at this girl gave one mighty burp that actually rattled the picture behind Tsunade. Of course, none of that surprised the two females because they had learned early on the powerful lungs that baby had.

"That's weird. He didn't say anything else?" inquired the Hyūga princess as she signed a report on capturing Tora by Team Ebisu. At the same time little Na-chan yawned and fell asleep with a cute toothless grin on her mother's shoulder.

"Nope, he just got up, told me, kissed both of us and he was gone." Tsunade explained as she put the girl on her green stroller and wrapped her up on her toad print blanket. Of course little Naru-chan had her slug plushy beside her. Then Tsunade moved back to her desk and once again returned to fight a losing war with paperwork.

"Tsunade-sama…" Hinata started as her work with the mission assignments stopped.

"What?" Tsunade inquired upon seeing her apprentice/second secretary stop her work and look lost. 'It's almost like when I lost Dan.'

"I've been having dreams." confessed the younger female as her eye started to water.

"What kind of dreams?" the Slug Princess asked at one of her daughter figures. She even put her right hand on the shaking left shoulder of the Hyūga.

"About her." whispered the bluenette in a tone that spoke of pain and lost. It was like the strong and powerful Jōnin kunoichi had died and in her place left a broken woman. This hurt Tsunade more than she let on because it was like looking in a mirror.

"Oh, Hinata sweaty." the Godaime spoke tenderly as she hugged the young girl. "I know it's hard, but we need to try and move on." she suggested… 'But I know what you feel. If it wasn't for her and Jiraiya, I would still be drowning myself in alcohol. Not to mention that I gave it up for the most part thanks to my baby.' the Legendary Medic thought as the girl leaned into her embrace, but still tried not to cry.

"But I just can't Tsunade-sama." the voice sounded almost broken, but at the same time lost. Lost because the person that owned it just could not understand how the Uzumaki had died. All alone and betrayed but that one person that could have been her friend. "I try and I try but I still keep dreaming of her. I've even felt her."

"You still have to try Hinata." implored the leader at the now crying girl. "If you don't you may regret it later."

During all of this the ANBU guard of the Hokage stayed hidden and quite. They would not dare speak during this moment. Nor would they ever mention this moment to anyone. What transpired inside that room would stay there because they were never there and they never heard it. But even so some would feel shame to know that if they had made a better effort in keeping the village safe then this would never had happed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX

[May 15 of that year; in a forest in the Land of Fire]

One of the many forest around the Land of Fire a massacre was in process. But not any massacre, this was one directed by law. For you see, in this part of the forest exist a camp full of bandits that only lived by they're laws. This in turn angered the people, they attacked, and the people took action. What was their action, you ask?

They hired shinobi from Konohagakure. This shinobi were an Inuzuka, a Hyūga and an Aburame…

"Hinata! We need combination 12 now!" screamed Kiba Inuzuka as he and his loyal ninja hound Akamaru came out of their Fang Over Fang. Said technique had already decimated a good number of the bandits considering all of the bodies ripped to shreds.

"Right!" Hinata Hyūga answered the call and started to spin. As the spin progressed, she expelled her chakra and thereby created Kaiten.

"Let's go, Akamaru!" order the Inuzuka to his companion who bark in agreement once they saw the girl create her shield.

With this they ran at her and just a few feet from hitting they jumped in a roll. But the rolls became much faster and violent to the point they both looked like buzz saws. It was then that they impacted the Hyūga's shield. But instead to destroying the spinning shield or bouncing off it they got stuck. Then they started getting dragged by the spin of the shield faster and faster until they were spinning around it…

"Combination Art: Fang Rotating Fang Cannon!" Kiba and Hinata yelled as the Hyūga used her shield's rotation to shoot both buzz saws at their opponents. This in turn causes the bandits to be cut and shredded to hell once the attack passed through or by them. It truly a gruesome, painful and bloody way to die, but then again these bandits probably did worse things to innocents.

Yet, that was not the only way people died in this. Oh no, the remaining 10 bandits still had an Aburame to deal with…

"It's over." Shino Aburame announced, as he adjusted his shades.

Once this movement was done, the bandits saw what could only be describe was the end of days. After all, they watched the sun, sky, ground, and even trees suddenly become a black mass. This mass of darkness then slowly closed in on them. They would've tried to move and attack the youth, but his body broke apart into bugs. It was only then that they heard the sound of thousands of bugs around them. That was the last thing they heard.

"This is the power of my Kikaichū." Shino spoke evenly, with his hand on his pockets from outside the orb his bugs created. Slowly, he raised both arm, palms open, and the bug started returning inside his body. As they left the bandits the only thing left were drying out husks. These husks faces were forever plastered in a silent by horror filled screams.

"Damn Shino…" whistled Kiba as he saw his teammates work. "Talk about overkill. It almost like seeing Gaara, only with bugs instead of sand." he added since he had noticed both the Kazekage and the Aburame fought almost the same. Still, it was scary to know Shino had taken to creating a small scaled genjutsu to hide his bug and then strike.

"You were good too, Kiba-kun." the only Jōnin in the group complimented with as a smile as she saw her brother figures' handy work. It was horrifying to know they could create such carnage, but then again they were shinobi. Everyone knew that they were taught to kill from a young age.

"Bark!" Akamaru yelled jealously, because no one had thanked him.

"You too, Akamaru-kun." Hinata giggle as she bent down to scratch the giant dog's neck. Something the white dog loved and he showed with all of the wagging his tail was doing. "But I must admit that your strength has grown immensely during the years Shino-kun." she commented as she saw her teammates targets.

"If I want to surpass my father and be the next clan head it is a must." the Aburame announced plainly as he fixed his glasses.

"Still doesn't change the fact that we kicked some major ass!" Kiba cheered alongside his loyal partner in crime, who barked in agreement.

"Yes, but…" the bug user started as he saw one of the few surviving bandit crying in the fetal position. "Was it necessary to destroy the leader's genitals Hinata-san?"

"He's a bandit and therefore gave up his right to have children." the princess responded in a cold tone as she remembered a few crude things the man said to her. "Now let's tie up the survivors and bring them the town's law enforcers." she ordered gently her chūnin teammates. They didn't mind because she never disrespected them and about the only time she pulled rank was on very dangerous missions were it was key to have a strong leader. Even then she made sure to still treat them well.

"Yeah, than we can go to Kurenai-sensei's baby shower." the Inuzuka commented as he started to round up the unlucky survivors alongside Hinata and Shino

"And Asuma-sensei's bachelor party." the Aburame added in a low whisper that only Kiba heard. Poor guy choked from holding in his laugh at that. Hinata just raised an eyebrow at her friend's antics.

Next Time: The devil heads to sea on her road to the witch, but along her voyage a shadow with a mask appears.

Jutsu Library:

Combination Art: Fang Rotating Fang Cannon!: A fusion of Fang Rotating Fang and Kaiten. The reason for this is to increase the rotation of the buzz saw to make it fast and deathlier. At the same time it can create an attack surrounding the shield for a brief moment. (A-Class)

A/N:

There you have it my readers Chapter 25 and a look at the life of some people. As I promised Hinata got her screen time. I also wanted to give Sakura a chance in this chapter and make it so you guys know she regrets what she did.

I also showed some of Hinata's growth over the years. I also put a motherly moment for Tsunade with her daughter and Hinata to show that she isn't just a Hokage. Anyway Chapter 26 is on the way… hopefully.
