Chapter 2:
Hatsumi Hyuga
Hatsumi had a big room that had a door leading to the back garden. Her things were nice, her bedroom was the biggest in the house. She hated it, being here like a bird in a cage. She had no friends but her cousin Neji. They had been together when they were kids and even would tend to Hinata. Ko had taken the responsibility to take care of both Hinata and Hatsumi. She didn't ask for anything, nor did she need anything. Hatsumi was a girl who had everything including her father's last name.
Hiashi would visit Hatsumi from time to time,and spar with her. Since she did not have one hundred percent Hyuga blood, it was unfit and unfair to pair her with her sisters.
Hatsumi would leave her room to tend to the flowers in the garden or even help cook food, which was not allowed. One thing she did with her sister was to eat together, and welcome her father home when he would leave.
"Welcome father." The three girls said in sync. As the leader sat at the head of the table, soon the girls sat, it was quiet. They sat and ate dinner. The head had stood as well as the girls.
The man walked to Hinata. "I heard you did a good job on your latest mission, as did you Hanabi." He hugged his two girls. He separated from them to walk to Hatsumi. "As for you" A quick slap made contact with her cheek. There was stinging on the area where there was a red mark, she placed her hand there to sooth it. "You know you're not supposed to leave this house." Hatsumi's eye contact met another Hyuga's, who entered the room with another man. She noticed it was the same man she bumped into.
"Master Hiashi, The Uchiha has came to see you
as well as your daughter." Ko kept his composure and moved to the side to let Sasuke in.
"Hyuuga, Hiashi" Sasuke gave him respect. "Naruto, told me to give this to you." He held out the scroll Naruto had given to him. Which Haishi gladly took and opened it and read it and understood. "You have my permission." He rolled up the scroll. "Ko take Hatsumi back to her room and Sasuke you will follow me." He dismissed the other two daughters . The room was silent and heavy. "So how did Naruto come across my daughter?"
Sasuke hated to be so formal but it was a rule to give respect to a clan leader. "It was in a restricted file, Sir."
"So then you know all about her?" His tone was heavy but low.
"I am here to get more information, and find out why she is under a restricted file. Sir." He stood his ground "May I ask. Why isn't she a registered ninja?" Hiashi didn't like ANY Uchiha Clan members. "If you must know that, she isn't cut out to be a ninja."
"If I may say so, that contradicts what all her teachers noted. Even one of your notes says she is good in the clan's jutsus."
"I hate him so much." Hatsumi sat in her room, her kimono gown draped around her. "How dare he." She was so pissed off, that she forgot about the man who came to see her father. "In front of EVERYONE." She pounded the floor under her. "I HATE MY FATHER SO MUCH!" She didn't notice the knock on her door, until it opened.
"Hatsumi-sama." Ko called out. Hatsumi had stopped being mad. She quickly gathered her composer, before giving her babysitter her attention. "What is it, Ko?"
"I brought the man, who came to see your father. He wants you to answer any and all of this man's questions." He moved to the side to show the man. "This is Sasuke Uchiha"
She rolled her eyes. "This is a surprise, I never get company." she watched as this man entered her domain "My name Is Hatsumi Hyuga." Her eyes scanned every detail and movement. "Leave us, Ko" sasuke had smirked at her. When she encountered this mysterious young man, on the instant when their eyes met, Hatsumi immediately fell in love.
Ko made his way out of the room and closed the doors behind him. Sasuke had taken every detail of this woman in front of him. "You don't look like a Hyuuga." He smirked at her.
who was smiling with subtle and dreamy eyes. That statement offended the woman. " Your point of observation is correct." She gave him a bit of an attitude. "It is really rare that one does not take the Hyuga trait." She closed her eyes as she explained how someone gets the trait "Usually one marries within the clan. Or marries one with no abilities. So the byakugan has more of a chance of being the dominant gene. In rare 2% cases one can possess the byakugan with solid colored eyes." she opened her amethyst eyes staring at his stone cold black eyes.
"What's your D.O.B.?" He started with easy to answer questions. "And what do you know of your mother?" She answered his first question quickly. "July 22" and then paused, "Mother," she said scartaticaly. "She died giving birth to me." She stood up, went to a dresser and pulled out a photo. She came back to hand it to Sasuke. "This is my mother and my father. Before my father got married."
He had thought about it. "So your father cheated on his wife?" Hatsumi shook her head. "from what uncle said. My parents were secretly dating, 2 years before my birth. In the fourth month of my mother's pregnancy, Father chose to leave her and become head of the Hyuga Clan. In return he would have to have an arranged marriage. She died giving birth, and my father took me in."
"How much do you know of your mother?" Sasuke felt like an integrator asking so many awkward questions. He watched as she sat next to her tea table. "Mother. I've heard from my elders that she came from Otogakure. She was a runaway and supported herself through her playing. Honestly it makes sense, I inherited her Ability to play any instrument." Sasuke took note of what she said, "so your stepmother took you in as a child?" Hatsumi shook her head in a No manner. "She couldn't bear the sight of me, so one of the servants took me in. Ko, and his mother took me in. My stepmother hated me. When I was three she wanted me branded with the Hyuga's main family's juinjutsu. But my father didn't allow it." She frowned at the thought of her stepmother's actions."She hated me even more when she had Hanabi, she would smile at the thought that my mother died giving birth throughout her pregnancy. That came around and bit her in the butt."
"What about your sisters? Do they hate you?" Hatsumi played with her kimono. "You could say that." She looked over to her dresser where she had a picture of her sisters. "They hate me because my life is easy and given to me. I dress in kimonos all the time. While they go on hard missions, their life is hard. If it was up to me I would be out of this house. I am restricted from leaving this house.I never saw the village until today, and haven't seen the outside of konoha."
An idea hit Sasuke, it could be amusing and he could get Naruto to finish the report for him. "Want to go visit the Hokage, I am sure he'll like to see you? On the way you could see the village." The thought made a smile creep to Hatsumi's face. "I would love to But..father." Sasuke stood and held out his hand. "Don't worry" The door opened and Ko came in. "Tell Hiashi, I am taking her to see the wanna be Hokage. So that this little report be done" Ko moved out of the way.
"Hatsumi-sama. You think it's wise to go with Sasuke?" Ko questioned his Lady.
She placed her hand on Sasuke's hand, and she stood up. "It's okay, Ko. He's taking me to see this Hokage." She was so content that she made her way out of the compound with Sasuke. Her eyes glittering with excitement. She would eye everything in their path without escaping someone. They walked into a building near the Hokage faces. She eyed the hokages. "What's the Hokages like?"
Sasuke didn't want to answer that question. "It will surprise you. Especially the one in training as the 7th. " He said, soon they came across a door. He knocked and the door opened.
They entered the room to see a blonde man in a chair concentrating on reading a scroll. "One minute." After a minute of weird awkward silence, "What can I help." The man looked up, his blue eyes landed on the girl and her outfit. "Sasuke?!"
Sasuke leaned against the wall and tossed a scroll to him. "You said you WOULD like to see her"
Naruto placed his hands behind his head, he said it but didn't really mean it."Oh... yeah." He opened the scroll to see the notes on the girl. He smiled at her, "so how would you feel about becoming a ninja. and going on missions." The girl smiled, "where do i sign." Then she realized her manners. "I would love that" She paused for him to add his name.
"You could just call me, Naruto." He smiled as he filled out the paperwork.
She looked around. "So when do I get to meet the Hokage?"
Naruto laughed a bit. "not till your mission day. I am the Hokage's right hand. This man is in training"
That statement hit Hatsumi on the head like a brick. " You don't look like much." He pointed behind him to show a picture of him and another man wearing the Hokage robe. "I am so sorry." She bowed to Naruto. "I didn't know you were in Kakashi's team. Honestly he didn't tell me much about the kids he trained. Just the missions. I am Hatsumi Hyuga." He took out a scroll and placed it open to hatsumi.
"I'm not the hokage, just yet but kakashi is such an amazing teacher i hope i will get there soon and stand as his equal. For now I am known as the hero and Kakashi's right side man. Well then, Hatsumi. sign right here." He pointed at the bottom of the paperwork. She hesitated a bit and grabbed the pin from him signing at the bottom. Naruto smiled at Sasuke, he had something up his sleeve that Sasuke wouldn't like. "Great. So you are going to be paired with Sasuke, until further notice." He looked at Sasuke who looked really annoyed. "And Sasuke be good to her. While you're on your journey" His attention was on the girl with purple eyes. "Stick to him like glue, tomorrow I will notify the elders and give you your 1st assignment. it won't be till the afternoon, but it's a long assignment... "
