Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Weep for me! Come on, weep. A tear anyone? Gee thanks.
Author's Notes: Thank you all for your reviews, I received more than I had expected. As to the length of my work, a lot of it is done at work in slow times. I also write a scene and then end the chapter. I find that this causes fewer problems with view point. It's my style, or lack there of.
#Talk# is thought talk.
Hinata stood in the dimly lit training room the door to the outside area was open and a cool light breeze played with her short hair. She took a deep breath and smiled as she looked up to the ceiling. She looked around. No one had come into the room, though she could hear them massed outside of the paper walls.
#Child, allow me into you.#
"Why?"
#I can control the power within you now. You will not be able to use it to its fullest ability. I can. We will show all those that watch your new power and this will give you a chance to see what can be done with some of it.#
Hinata nodded her head, "Yes. Will it hurt?"
Nemesis chuckled, #No, child. Relax and it will all be done.#
Hinata closed her eyes and took a deep breath and as she let it out Nemesis slid into her form. Hinata's eyes opened and she looked out. Her arms moved and she panicked slightly. #Relax child I am just loosening you up some. You should talk to me in your head. We don't want people to think that you have suffered moon madness and are talking to yourself.#
#You are right.# Hinata 'watched' herself go through motions of a taijutsu style that she had never seen before. It was more power oriented than the Gentle Fist style that she was used to using. Many of the strikes that she felt her body using were from very close in. She knew that from the angles and positions that they were meant to break or shatter various bones, or to cause deep damage, perhaps to vital organs.
#Now, my little one, allow me to show you a few things.# She held out Hinata's hand and the energy streamed out of her and formed what looked to be a whip. #This is a scourge. It can have from one tail to nine. I think that it would be appropriate for you to become skilled in the nine tailed version, in remembrance of your heart's beating force. The difference between this and a whip is obvious if you look at it.# She held it up to Hinata's eyes. #See the barbs and other pieces braided into the tail? That is the difference. Mostly this was used in punishing people, though in our hands it is a weapon of retribution. I don't think that you could handle a sword of mine yet, but this, your body can make good use of.#
In her own mind, Hinata shuddered. #We will not…#
#Kill your father? No. But he will hurt. He will feel pain; he will know the suffering that he has caused. Be prepared for here he comes. I will speak through you. Fear not, we are one.#
Hiashi slid the door open and stepped through looking at his daughter. He noticed that his daughter's head was looking at the floor. He half sighed and growled at her weakness. He almost felt pride in her challenge of him. Now he knew that she was just acting like a weak love sick child. As he approached her, he noticed a coiled object in her right hand. When he stood in front of her and cleared his throat, she looked up and saw her eyes. His pale Hyugga skin went paler.
The eyes of a Hyugga were always pale. From birth to death, even if they did not have the Byakugan, they were always pale. Looking into Hinata's eyes showed what one could have seen looking into the night sky, or to a bottomless cavern. A mocking half grin formed on her delicate face. This would have been totally out of place on her, except for now it matched her body posture. At last, she spoke to him.
"So, Father, are you ready to begin? Are you ready for me to show you the true meaning of the word 'Power'?"
With this statement rage forced shock from him and he dropped into his fighting stance. He nodded and brought his hands toward his face. "Byaku…"
He wasn't able to finish the word, or bring the chakra to his eyes. Hinata/Nemesis lashed the scourge towards him. It wrapped around his left arm and when it was pulled back the items woven into its braid pierced, cut, and tore at the flesh of his arm. His eyes followed the trail of blood that the tail of the weapon drew from him.
"Now I play," were the cold words that came from the mouth of his daughter as she leaped over his head and again sent the coiled viper of a weapon at him.
Seeing the weapon approaching, he did the one thing that he knew would stop it. "Kaiten," came the words as his body began to spin and encompassed itself in a sphere of spinning chakra.
Hinata landed outside of the area of influence of the blast of chakra, the scourge on the other hand trailed behind her and was pulled into the spinning energy, wrapping around the sphere multiple times.
Hinata/Nemesis smiled as the sphere dissipated. She pulled quickly and the scourge was wrapped around Hiashi's throat. A quick, strong pull moved him off balance. Suddenly Hinata was behind him, tripping him to the ground and grinding the handle of the scourge into the small of his back.
"I believe that I am the victor here. Tomorrow before Naruto's service, you will make the announcement that we agreed upon in the town square. I am now going to go and clean up. You should have your wounds looked at."
Nemesis left Hinata's body as she arose. By the time she faced the door, the black eyes were gone, replaced by her pale violet ones. The scourge dissipated into the night as she left the room. A wide berth was given to her as she approached her private suite, head held high.
