Sorry it took me so long to update this

Chapter 13: Disowned

Hinata walked beside me. I sighed. "Hinata... I'm sorry..." I said quietly. She shook her head. "Lithak..." she mumbled, "no... it's my fault... I should've stopped you." Though with good intentions, this helped my mood none. "No, Hinata..." I said ,"it's what you wanted, right? Then... I think maybe... your family is to blame..." She looked at me, and then looked back at the ground

"Yes," I said, looking back ."Hinata, we're going back... we're going to face them head on, no matter what," I said with renewed confidence. She nodded.

I started walking quickly towards the Hyuuga Mansion, Hinata quickly in tow. However, instead of meeting Neji at the gate, we were greeted by her not to happy father. "Hinata, inside, now," he ordered, "and you, boy, if I ever catch you around my daughter again, I'll sick the ANBU on you, understand?" I shook my head, putting and around around Hinata's waist. Hinata made no move to go awway from me. "Hinata, away from him, now," ordered Hiashi again. Hinata gave a solumm shake of her head. "Father... I'm staying with Lithak..." she said quietly, but with defined courage.

Her father seemed shocked. "How dare you disobey my orders, you foolish child," he said, making a move to grab Hinata. I stepped hin his way, knocking his hand away. "I don't care if she's your daughter, don't you dare touch her with such anger," I said, a semi-demonic protection instinct flaring up

"Stand down, boy," he spat, making another grab. I growled, grabbing his arms, and squeezing hard. "Don't..." I warned. He broke free, and attempted to jab at my forehead with a Juuken strike. I quickly reacted, sending up a wall of Onimaru's chakra, blocking the blow. "Shadow Shield," I muttered, and the wall became fortified. "Damn you," shouted Hiashi Hyuuga.

"Father," mumbled Hinata, "I want to go with Lithak..." Hiashi stopped. "Fine, whatever..." mumbled the disgruntled Hyuuga elder, "but from this point on you're banned from the Hyuuga Clan. Disowned. You are entitled to none of our splendors. And one more thing... I order that your Byukugan be sealed..."

I think a nice cliffhanger will be good for now. So, what'll Lithak's reaction be? What about Hinata? Find out next time
