"You're going to want to back up." Kogara says to them, they listen and flatten themselves against the wall as I start my jutsu. The gate starts to glow but instead of the crisp Kohona air, a warm breeze made its way through the gate. I smile as I walk through right into the sarcastic face of Asai; she hits me on the head with her cane before she hugs me.
"Child you are not allowed to scare the hell out of me by just appearing out of nowhere and then creating a gateway in my house!"
She keeps hitting me on the head I continue to apologize; this is how the others find me as they cross the threshold.
"Um Hinata?" Asai and I stop to stare at them and I can't hide the blush that makes its way across my face as I straighten up introduce the old woman to the others.
"Hmmph! Who is chasing you now?" I scratch my head as a couple of people and countries come to call but I wisely keep my mouth shut.
"Ah no one in particular."
"I'll have you tell me later, for now what do you need me to do?" I smile at before I tell her the situations before she grabs her cane and starts walking.
"I'll start to gather everyone! Kami knows you can't leave important things to the young, no you have to leave it to the old!" I shake my head at her before we head the tower with people staring us in wonder.
"um, Hinata?" I turn my head slightly to see Temari looking at me worried.
"What ever it is, tell me, I won't be angry."
"Ah you know when we all saw you dead in that coffin we thought you were dead." I give her a look to tell her to get on with it.
"Well the council forced Gaara to uh… get married." I 'm surprised I manage to keep my face blank and that my legs are still working.
"I understand Temari-san." No one else heard or conversations, but Temari keeps shooting me worried looks and Shika-kun as well starts but more subtle. We go straight into the Suna meeting room as a map is laid out and we start going over how best to evacuate before interrupted by the huge doors suddenly opening.
"What the fuck Temari, why the hell are you evacuating when the safest place is here? Who's pulling the reigns? Temari looks nervous as her gaze slides to me and then his follows.
The look on his face was shocked but it soon turned to happiness but when another voice came into the room his face showed emotions I didn't have time to deal with.
"Gaara what's going on? Come back to bed it can wait till morning." A blonde woman slides her arms around him glares at everyone in the room but when she reaches me I'm surprised at her look.
Hokage and Shika-kun fill him in as I cross my legs and lean back in the Kage's chairs staring at the map and ignoring the chatter around me. My skin itches as I can feel many sets of stares but his in particular is starting to annoy me, so I get up and leave. I make my way down the hallway to the Kage's library, I make my self comfortable and sigh in contentment. The door opens but I don't open my eyes because she is the last person I expected to follow me.
"Hinata-sama do you remember me?" I lift my eyes and turn to face the woman and study her; she shivers under my scrutiny before I reply.
"No."
She nods then shifts on her feet. She's scared of me.
"You saved my life and all the others."
"Gomen but you'll have to be more detailed."
"I was one the girls taken by the smugglers, but you probably don't remember, that's ok I'll leave than-"
"I remember."
"Hinata-sama I hate you." I tilt my head at her and a smile a bitter filled one.
"Hai and?" She frowns at me and for right now her fright is forgotten.
"You don't care?" She seems offended.
"Gomen but I'm too tired, too stressed, not to mention one woman hating me is the least of my problems." Not when a whole nation cheers for my death.
She seems embarrassed but I gesture her to go on.
"I am a Nin of Suna, I always prided myself on being strong and courageous But compared to you I'm nothing. I watched you from the moment you were pulled out of that crate, when you were whipped for protecting the little girl. When you carried her across the desert then when you finally took out those two guards. I was jealous that you could be so selfless, so strong but the worst part was I wanted you to fail because I hate you. Hinata-sama I want you to know I'm no longer weak! You are my enemy and I will fight you with everything I have to keep Gaara!" I want to laugh at her but I have a feeling that would only make it worst but that doesn't change that this woman annoys me.
I get up and walk around the desk to look her in the eyes to see she hasn't changed at all but I don't say that, I say what is best for the situation.
"I have no intention of fighting you for Gaara but do not stand there tell me that you are stronger then last time, prove it. Stand beside him and help him lead his people because he needs someone, and that person could never be me, not anymore." I walk past her and open the door and close it. I turn to my right to see Gaara looking at me in pain before I continue my way down the hall saying one last thing.
"She loves you, do not forget that." Even though the woman is arrogant, selfish, over zealous and prideful she loves Gaara more then I did and more then I ever could but that still it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
I make my way into the night then on to some roof to look at them moon in silence.
"You look like you could kill." So much for silence. Arms wrap around me to pull me into a warm and reassuring lap.
"Tell me, and no bullshit." I sigh into him and worded my next words carefully.
"What would you do if I had feelings for another?" I felt his body stiffen and his chakra flare before he lowers his voice to a growl.
"Hinata you belong to me and no one else. I would have to kill him and I promise it would be quite painful for even daring to look at you." I start laughing and I can tell he's angry at me for not believing him. Little does he know I do believe him and I'm laughing at the thought of him pouting like a little kid.
"Why are here I thought you would be with Pein."
"No I came to warn you, Madara knows you're alive. I don't know how but when we showed up in Kohona and no one was there so Pein sent us out for answers. I followed him and he went right to the tree, he stayed there for a little while before he talked to me. He said 'She's alive isn't she? Of course she is, she's the only one who can open the gateway into Paradise. Tell me Itachi have you mentioned me to her. No of course you have like a good little puppy we Uchiha's are for an hyuuga woman. So she'll be wanting to talk to me soon I suppose. Bring her here it's time we talked.' He disappeared after that and I came to tell you. Hinata I don't what's going on and its starting to concern me, I want you to tell me."
"No, what I know is between me and him. Itachi you have to take me to see him."
"Feh he'll be here soon with Pein."
I jump out of his arms in surprise.
"What do you mean with Pein? "
"He'll be here at sunrise."
I disappear and land in the meeting room.
"we're running out of time, they'll be here at sunrise." With that I reappear before a pissed Itachi.
"let's go." I activate my eyes as Itachi wraps himself around me and we disappear in a blink to land in the forest in front of Madara, Kisume, and Deidra.
They move to attack me but Itachi steps in front of me with katana at hand. I side step him and head toward Madara.
"We meet again little Hinata."
"Gomen but my memories were whipped so I don't remember."
"Ohm, you want to talk with me I suppose?"
"Hai, I need you to stop the Pein."
" What makes you think I would do that?"
"Because you did it once and Maya wouldn't want you to do this, I don't want you to this."
"Little Hinata you do not know anything about that so don't pretend to."
I reach into my cloak and hand him the journal, I ignore his wide eyed look as I turn to the last page. He reads it then gently moves his hand across the page as he caresses the book. I turn it to Hikaru's last entry and I watch Madara read it with unfathomable eyes.
"He you loved just as much as he loved Aya and Maya."
"No uncle Tauro told Ka-san and I he tried to kill us and they stopped him, my mother was destroyed and I knew nothing about him but that fact."
Wait Tauro Uchiha as in the man who Married Chiriko? Wait Hikaru said she had a lover on the side and that she want to kill him… it all makes sense!
Chiriko tricked everyone into thinking that it was Aya who tried to assassinate Hikaru in order to get her out of the picture. When she found out he had a son she waited till Madara was old enough while her lover twisted Madara's and Aya's mind into hating Hikaru and arranged Madara and Maya to meet. That's why Hikaru never saw it coming! She knew the only way to kill Hikaru was if he let them do it. Maya was out of the question as she lover her father the most, Aya was long ago dead so that left Madara. But how did she get the power and chances to do it? She must have had help by Hikaru's second in commands but who was second in command?
"The council." Ah yes the council, the statues I accidentally destroyed. The council wanted more power then Hikaru was willing to give them. Wait the Oba-san said that our council was as old as Hikaru, Holy Shit! Our council is the descendants of Hikaru's council! So that must mean they know about everything! They've been manipulating everyone around them including Itachi and me! Then why would they order Itachi to kill the Uchiha's? they had no idea about any of this, hell the hyuuga's didn't either.
"The Sharigan was made of passion, the Byakugan was made in obligation except Maya's blood which was redemption and finally the Rinnagan was made in spite." I blink at what Madara said.
"I'm reading your thoughts, go on I have waited for hundreds of years for some one to tell me what happened."
So since Pein has the Rinnagan that must mean he's a descendant of Madara's half brother, it gets stronger when it's used to get revenge and bitterness. The hyuuga's byakugan gets stronger with dedication and obligation, mine I suppose with my redemption from my old life and my need to protect the ones around me. The sharigan was made in passion…so emotions? Ah, Itachi said the council turned him against his family and they ordered for them to be killed as well as me in order to get rid of his emotions! They were afraid of him realizing Madara's level of sharigan so they cut of his emotions! It was all the council!
I feel the great amount of chakra as I snap put of my trance to look into the burning sharigan. I knew at that moment that the person who deserved revenge was Madara more then me and Itachi.
K i know some of that is confusing so if you don't understand just ask. So please review!
Asai- she's the woman who housed Hinata when she was trying to escape Suna.
Oba-san- is the old Hyuuga woman who hinata thought was her grandmother but she's really not.
