The Byakugan
Demons of the Soul
Has anyone figured out the song yet...cookies are getting stale.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All that was left in the room now was almost forgotten memories and a dead man's body. Her future laid ahead along the road to the North...and Orochimaru.
Her entire body tingled with rage and hate. The normally composed and shy Hinata was leaving and a dangerous soul was surfacing. Everyone has their demons...no matter whether they were sealed or have developed over time.
"Byakugan!"
A soft whisper in the wind was all that told of her departure.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Neji glared with unconcealed rage at the three jounins assembled in his office. Only at 18, he was an ANBU Commanding Officer, along with Shikamaru. He didn't often loose control, but then the key word was often.
"How could you not notice her leave? You are jounin, she is a mere chuunin, and a weak one at that! You should have noticed when her chakra left the building!"
The jounins looked down at their sandals, remarkably like children caught being with their hand stuck in the cookie jar. What else could they do? Letting a chuunin disappear without their notice? What kind of jounin where they? With a captain like Neji, they wouldn't be surprised if they were kicked off their post.
"Form a search party."
"!"
"You heard me! Idiots! What did you think I was going to do? Let her get away?"
The three jounins quickly headed out the door, partly to relieve themselves of the angry Neji's company and partly to conceal their conspicious grins. Afterall, it wasn't everyday Neji let them off so easily. Also, they were going on a hunt-the jounin's prime idea of mission fun.
Gazing into the starless sky, the wind ruffled Neji's hair with a comforting hand.
//What were you thinking? Hinata-sama...//
A silent entry followed by swirling clouds alerted Neji to the coming presence.
"So you're finally here."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trees brushed roughly against her as she sped past them to her goal. One alone possessed the chakra her Byakugan guided her towards. Frightened animals scampered away from her pounding feet. Her feet left the ground as she lept over the waterfall. In another life, in another world she might have stopped to admire the crystals of light falling off the cliff, but she was gone. Hinata was longer what she used to be. All that was left anger, hate..
And sorrow.
For a fleeing moment, a nano-second in time, she thought she sensed another prescence, but she dismissed it. Nothing could stop her. No one would prevent the rage-consumed Hyuuga.
How wrong she was.
