We never said goodbye chapter 3 – Eyes
Author note: I'm sorry it took forever to update, I had a huge writers block but at least I'm updating write? I kind of had to change the story line little big more to fit the overall ending I planned and I rewrote chapter two so please go ahead and reread. And I apologize to all my readers for the delayed chapter!
Just to clarify things further, the rest of the story is told in past tense until we reach the end since I get tired of writing the whole thing in italics XD so please understand and its mostly written in Hinata's perspective but I try to add the rest of the characters as well and I'll try not to confuse anyone.
The time setting for the story obviously is before the filler arcs.
Special thanks to: Love Hunter 02 for all her help
She could not forgive herself for her lost, how she lost badly to her cousin Neji. What ever happened to her idea of growing stronger, strong enough for when he returned that she would be worthy of his time. But there was no helping it, she was bed ridden until her heart recovered from the attack that she received from Neji during the chuunin exams.
I know I failed my father, I failed myself. And most importantly I failed him.
My body could only hold so much. My training with my team as well as my missions were clearly monitored, I wasn't given the hardest task and training was cut short. I continued to curse myself for slowing down my progression. Father even has reached the point of not acknowledging I existed nor was I even part of the household. Neji-niisan has come to visit me several times, his hatred for me and for the household has died down…could it possibly due to guilt? Not once did I blame Neji-niisan for his anger nor hatred through our family. No one could.
The young hyuuga heirest smiled to herself as she laid her back onto a post, bathing in the sun she let her eyes close to catch some peace and quiet. She was dressed in her usual yukata, and she kept her hair down as it seemed that there was too much effort into tying it up. All seemed quiet in the Hyuuga compound. Quiet and tranquil. Something that Hinata does not experience a lot. It all seemed to be too good to be true. As if reality read her mind, she was wrapped in total darkness. She dare not spoke nor did she open her byakugen. Something about this jutsu frightened her and yet, it seemed all too familiar at the same.
"Child. Would you like to see the man that you so longed for to see?" the voice was low and hushed. The image of Uchiha Itachi flashed in Hinata's mind. How she still remembered the events that happened all so long ago. She remembered them as if it only happened hours ago. There was nothing anyone could do to make it go away. There was no medicine nor power in this world to erase those feelings that jerked in her heart and memory. Yes. He was the one that she searched for countless times. Countless days, months and years passed as she patiently waited for him. It was him who she wanted to see. Hinata nodded a reply as she could not even squeak a reply. "The man that carries the bloodline of red and black eyes. Skin as pale as the moon yet hair that was as dark as the moonless night. The Uchiha is who you search for. He awaits for you elsewhere. Follow this voice and it will take you to where he lies…follow it to where Uchiha Itachi lies…there he lies in awaiting for you…" Hinata was entranced by curiosity and by childhood bliss as she still has not forgotten about him. She wanted answers. But most importantly. She wanted him.
Darkness turned to light and from light. It turned back to darkness as a man carried the Hyuuga away into the night dressed in black and red cloth. "it was far too easy to attain her." He thought to himself. "too easy" yet he continued to sprint off to his destination. But it would not be easy dealing with the Uchiha if he found out that she got involved into the matter at hand…
After notes: I am honestly, not too happy with this chapter. ( I am never satisfied am I?) I guess mainly for the fact that this chapter was alittle rushed because I wanted to update the story as soon as possible to let the readers know I'm still alive despite my delay. But please, read and review!
I am alittle slow in updating but I will try to update now as I am working on several other stories, if my dear readers would like to keep intouch and keep updated in the chapters of each story, please feel free to scavenge my LJ for future updates, hints and etc about my fanfics. I enjoy reading comments and suggestions from readers. you can find the link to my LJ through my website.
