Thousand Sleepless Nights
Chapter #18-Ms-Direction
As the Moon began to lower in the night sky, and the shadows that was formed in that fleeting moment begin to fade like it never existed to be begin with.
The little darkness that remains around the young girl's bedroom brought an osmosis feeling that Hinata just could not shack.
She began to hear a voice, a voice that she once heard before speak to her through the darkness in which she could not see through.
The voice told her the horrible acts that she inflected upon another human's body.
The voice did not foreclose the identity of the one that she have brought suffering too, but she did explain through greet detail upon what it took for her to do such unspeakable actions.
What drove her to feel this way, and in no time at all Hinata began to feel the same.
Just as of any mortal-been, we can only see the truth that is hidden from our gaze, once we have giving up something greater in return.
We can only know what is real from those that is fake, after we have been scorched by it's power.
The same was with Hinata, she have obtain this bitter feeling towards those that hold power in the leaf village, after being subject to such agonizing visions.
The same visions of her being tortured in prison, being refused food and water, by the guards that hold her life.
To new visions of being beaten over and over again, tossed upon the ground like mere trash to those that stands over her. Staring at her with a content like no other.
She could tell that they saw her a animal better off somewhere died, better yet rioting a low painful death.
No matter the pain in which these vision caused her, Hinata decided to cling once more on the things she knew before, refusing to grow up.
Refusing to see the truth that lies before her, in the darkness I mean.
Where else will anybody find salvation in times of trouble? Through some mystical force that lies beyond the clouds? Or through the warm kind souls that we meet along the path of life?
I think not! No Hinata rather she like it or not, will learn the lesson of who she can trust, and those she can not with one outcome.
Maybe I'm wrong? She might save herself before it's to late? If she does, you best aspect that the road will be long, and the chooses will be soul crushing.
That's enough talking for now! Go.
See the story of Hinata's poor life unfold. Watch as she deal with decisions that will test her will. Most importantly stand there, as the battle between good and evil take its tole?
We will meet again soon, in the darkness which life gives!
Hours passed since the visions and the voice in the young Hyuuga girl's ear cease, and not soon after the bright sun rose within the sky, transforming the bleak night sky into a gorgeous blue one.
Whipping all the shadows, and vanquishing all the portals from the dream world and the world of the livings.
Returning the souls back into the citizens bodies, forcing them awake to see the dawn of a new day.
Hinata opened her eyes and slowly raised her window open, just to gaze upon the rising sun that bright the blue sky above her.
So beautiful she thought, a perfect day to go out for a walk. To repair her relationship with her sister, that she have miss up.
But something knew deep inside her heart that it would not happen today, not when she heard the loud knock upon her door!
But Hinata would refused to let a little knock upon her door, darken her view upon the world.
"Come in!"spoke Hinata in a really sweet tone of voice, as she turned around and started at her door.
Her door quickly swung open as Dark Hinata entered with doubt in her mind.
Seeing and feeling that something was a miss, she asked her a very simple question. Hoping to get a simple answer.
But sadly that was not what she had received.
No! Instead she was told that her own cousin Neji, forced Sakura to lead her outside of the village yesterday. Not only that Neji also told Sakura to speak of Naruto, just in chase she refused to go.
"Who. That's a lot to take in!" spoke Hinata trying her best to happy, to stay optimistic, despite the bitter, bitter news in which she was told.
About her family no doubt.
"Are you okay?" spoke Dark Hinata seeing that the news in which she spilled brought a crushing feeling.
'No I'm not! I know my father could be capable of such of thing, but Neji! Why would he do such a thing?" spoke Hinata in a hurt tone of voice trying to keep a smile upon her lovely face.
"That is what we will find out today, but before we set out on this journey to find the truth I must ask? Can you take it?
Can you take the price of knowledge?" spoke Dark Hinata as she stared at Hinata closing her window, blocking the wind of entering their room.
Once the window was closed and the air stood still, Hinata turned around revealing to the Dark one a determination that can never be waver, no matter what out-come my stand in her way.
That look upon Hinata's face said everything that needed to be said, without speaking a signal word.
To see apart, a piece of Hinata that could survive that horrible future in which they both will live, brought a confidence to Dark Hinata heart that was not there before.
"One more thing before I take you to your cousin! The way you feel now means nothing, the future will not change and shouldn't until you decide to step up!
And take control of your life." spoke Dark Hinata trying to calm the spirit of the young girl, knowing if she take Hinata hot head as she is would only destroy what she started with Sakura.
It took some time for Hinata raging spirit to dive down from the news that was given to her.
Soon the rage in her body and the pain within her soul disappeared, like the happiness in which he felt every morning.
"I'm sorry that I got a little angry! That wasn't me." spoke Hinata cool calm and collected, before the death of her uncle.
"You do not have to say your sorry to I, and I do not wish you pain nor suffering. That is just the cost of knowledge, and we do not have time to spare the truth!" spoke Dark Hinata
With those words both Hinata's made their ways to Neji's house, to find the answers to the questions, that Sakura gave to them.
Like two warriors on a battlefield, they made a plan and they follow through.
Hinata knock on the door and distract whoever answer it, as Dark Hinata seek into the house and find whatever ties Neji Hyuuga, what Sakura told them.
With luck Neji answered the door, and spoke to Hinata, unaware of her purpose being there.
As Hinata speak to her cousin calmly, Dark Hinata quietly and swiftly sneak behind back and claim through an open window, into Neji's room.
The time it took for Hinata to convince Neji to venture completely outside of the confess of his house, Dark Hinata already found a list of ingredient for a formula that reside underneath Neji's bed,
Four glass vials that resides in the deepest insides of the Hyuuga boy's draws. Three of the four vials was empty, one of the four still had some of the moisture from whatever it was holding before it was used.
Gazing upon the moisture that resides within the vial caught Dark Hinata's eyes, and peek her entrust.
She knew that she could not waste time, Hinata could only stall Neji for so long, before he would start to poke holes, and began to question the true reason on why she was there.
So before her presence in the house was blown, she quick grab all of the evidence that she found it the Hyuuga boy's room and made a silent and skillful exit, dropping to the ground below.
Around the same time, Neji began to lose entrust in his pathetic cousin conversation and he once again returned to the confess of his house, shutting the door behind him as he walked in.
Fearing that she would fail, she rushed in a panic to bring her cousin back outside, unaware Dark Hinata was already finished with her little searched.
She only realize what was going on once her eye caught a view of Dark Hinata walking toward her.
"Come on! I have some un-settling news for you!" spoke Dark Hinata as they both left the area with the items on her person.
As they move towards their house, Dark Hinata revealed the items that she have required from the room of Neji, that tied Neji to the incidence that happened to Light Hinata.
That was not all, she also spoke the words, that this was not the end rather a begin, to something much bigger.
She was right! It was a start to something bigger, her ego to be more precise.
As the hours turn into days, and days turn into weeks. Dark Hinata became more and more impatient, as the group of people that ties to Hinata's incident grew in size.
It was overwhelming both her and Hinata's physically and emotionally, every time they get close to figuring out who was the master-mind behind this mystery, someone or something always get in their way,
Making them stop and re-configure their plan on how to tackle their enemies.
It got so bad, even Dark Hinata resolve to find the truth weakened to barely nothing.
And she even started picking fights with follow genin in broad day-light, and accuse others for the crimes with no prof to back up her climes.
Seeing this side of Dark Hinata, brought Hinata to this conclusion. Is Dark Hinata truly doing all of this for the sake of their future?
Or is she doing all of this just to satisfy her own twisted cravings for justice?
Whatever the answer to the question was! Hinata did not like it one bit. And she went as far to confront Dark Hinata and told her to quit!
"What do you mean quit? I'm doing this for you!" spoke Dark Hinata so frustrated with this whole thing
"That is why you need to stop. At first when you showed me the visions, I believed you and the words in which you spoke.
But now I hold doubts, sure you have items that ties a bunch of people to what happened to me!
But I got to thinking, what if what happened to me is just that? What if nobody caused that, and it just happened on its own" spoke Hinata coming to terms that what happened to her was just that!
"If you only see the things that I have seen, then you would understand!" spoke Dark Hinata
"Then show me what you have seen? What you have discovered?" spoke Hinata wishing to see the prof behind her actions
Knowing by the expression on the young Hyuuga girls face, she would only silence to her words if and only if she see prof with her own eyes.
"Fine, but remember I tried to worn you" spoke Dark Hinata as she brought Hinata her own room door.
But that was not it, once she open the door, Hinata saw that her entire turned up side down, metaphorically of course.
"What the?" spoke Hinata just shocked to see her room destroyed.
Hinata move through her room very slowly so she could take everything that she saw in, and analyze everything in such she saw.
It was an awful feeling, to see everything that you ever own thrown onto the floor like it was just mere garbage, it was a reminded to Hinata that she did not mean anything in the eyes of nobody.
A mere thought rather be forgotten, the way she felt right then and there made her wonder.
Is this how Naruto felt? Hurt and be-trade by those in his own village. Wishing for peace and happiness, but only got disrespect from his elder's?
It was proven once she tumbled upon a torn picture covered in glass and dirt. That if you wish to be kind in this world, you will only be used and mocked by others!
As the young girl gazed upon the picture she realize that the picture once held a warming moment in her life.
Hinata felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest and thrown onto the floor along with the rest of her things,
I mean that was the last and only picture she had of her mother. Before the accident that took her life.
Seeing the mother's picture destroyed and in ruins before her eyes, brought memories of a simpler time when her father actually nice to her, when her mother was still alive.
But even simple times hold hardships and turmoil of some kind deep within the shadows of happiness! And the hard ships in which these memories hold, are ones Hinata never willing to live through again, not in this life time anyways.
But her soul was fragile from gazing upon the picture for so long, left vulnerable to the emotions in which it pictures gives out.
Her willingness to block the memories from flowing to the front of her mind, was overwhelmed by the actions and words that was spoken years ago, when her mother live and breath upon this world.
And because of that, the gates that contained such thoughts her path opened, causing the horrifying acts of her mothers to come rushing back like a rapid river.
So vivid and clear the memories was to Hinata's young eyes, even more so despite the fact that she was so young in those times.
It began to feel like the memories that was being drag to the surface was happening right before her eyes.
This feeling that Hinata was feeling was hard to explain. The only thing that would give any justice is to say, that she was living through the memories once more, not through her eyes but through her mothers eyes.
Flash Back: Hinata's mother spitting imagine of to her daughter just got word from the third Hokage, telling her that she was going on a reconnaissance mission to gain Intel of a particular group.
She just went back home to gather her things, just before she went on her mission. That is when her husband came into the room and spoke to her,
"It's funny, you a Hyuuga but you rather fight with blades instead of your palms!" spoke Hiashi as he stared at his wife, placing her fear upon her person.
"Not all of us have to fight with our hands. Some of us like a more tactical approach" spoke "place person name", as her husband wrapped his loving arms around her waist and started kissing her neck, ever so gently.
Trying to make her change her mind and stay with him, with their family.
But sadly her kind heart and loyalty towards her village out weights her ability to stay.
She gently stepped away from her husband and stared deeply into his eyes, in which she found a carrying man doing wish to see anything happen to his love.
Seeing this touch "place name here" heart, and affect her emotion.
"Oh Hiashi!" spoke "place name here" as she wrapped her arms around Hiashi and got closer to him.
The emotions and feeling they had for each other was strong, if there love was a weapon then it would be able to stop anybody in their tracks.
If it was a supplies than nobody in the world would be sick, or hungry.
But none of those things was real, there love only they could feel its intensity
Only they could feel its warmth, and only they could use it feel they both feel down.
"Do you still remember what I told you when we got married?" spoke "place name here" as she face turned red and her body become really warm,
"Yes! You told me that you would want to change the world, help those in need and defend those that cannot defend themselves. And you wish for me to be apart of it!" spoke Hiashi also feeling the way that his wife feel at that moment.
"Then you know why I cannot stay? I promise the Hokage I would. and if I do not up-hold my promise, then people will suffer!" spoke "place name her"
"I know! But csn you just stay a little while longer. So I can picture your loving face once you gone?" spoke Hiashi as love over-takes both of there minds and bodies/
And without even knowing it, they spend the entire day together, and the entire night in their room.
Once dawn appeared and the light from the sun shine through the window and upon "place name here" face, the sting from the lights ray name "place name here" so uncomfortable to the point where she had to the open her eyes and face the day.
In an instant "place name here" realize that she spent the whole day at home,
Now she was late, so to combat the time that she wasted at home her skills took over and she rushed out of bed,
Grab her blades from the closet and jump out of the window with such speed and persuasion, she did not even making a sound.
She swiftly land upon the ground like a true assassin, with no sound created from her body, mind lazerd focus to what she was doing! Ready to leave on her mission given to her by the Hokage.
But before she went there is an urgent matter that she must attend to, before she head off to the un-none.
She quietly slide the door to her house opened, sneak up-stares and into her daughter's room.
Where she gave her the biggest kiss exploding with her love. From mother to daughter!
After that, she whipper this into her little girls ear "I love you Hinata! I truly...truly do. And don't worry I will be home soon. I promise!" spoke "place name here" feeling really emotional.
Once she spoke those words to her daughter, she snuck out of her daughter's room. Like she was never even there. :Flash Back Ended
Once the memories and the visions ceased from the young girls mind, Hinata realized that her face was covered in tears.
Even more than that she realized that her mother was also crying but why she wondered.
Never the least, Hinata was tired of the same games with her being so weak, being walked all over.
It just took the memory of her mother to realize that!
"What is next!?" spoke Hinata in a fit of angry as she stood up from the floor and stared at the Dark her.
"What do you mean by those words to speak?" spoke Dark Hinata unclear of the young female's words.
"Don't play dumb with me! I know you have some kind of plan for those that did this. Now I will ask again what's next!?" spoke Hinata in angry having her pride damage.
"Well! I told you I week ago, I sent the moisture to lab just outside of the village to be scanned, so we can shine some light upon what was it in the vial.
The result just returned today, for some reason they could only identify one component from the moisture in the vial.
That coponent is nectar from a flower!" spoke Dark Hinata really interrupted by Hinata which said
"And the only flower shop in the village is Ino's" spoke Hinata as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Exactly! We must hurry though, if they attack your room. They might be coming after you next?" spoke Dark Hinata only trying to protect the girl.
Once her eyes as clear, both Hinata and Dark Hinata made their way to the only flower shop in the leaf village,
Once they have the perfect view of the Yamanaka flower shop, Hinata stood upon the roof and she said to the Dark one,
'Distract her, if she truly apart of this, then I want to see it with my on eyes!" spoke Hinata wishing to hold the knowledge of who and who is not her enemy.
"After you!" spoke the Dark one, as she and Hinata drop to the ground below.
Hinata use the skills that she saw her mother accomplish to seek into the main office of the flower shop, undetected like a ghost.
The young Hyuuga girls ability to detect items using her eyes further progress her skills to search the room that she was in, more thoroughly than any.
All of which she manage to do, as her partner Dark Hinata was distracting Ino at the front desk.
Using her byakugan the young girl found a piece of paper with strange written on it, laying behind a family portrait of the Yamanaka clan.
The written on the paper was a record dating two days back, for some kind of big order. What for you may ask? That was still unclear at the moment.
That mostly why Hinata hind the letter on her person and got out of there, while she was still a ghost in the eyes of people.
Once she safely out of range of her enemies, she gave a signal for Dark Hinata to follow her!
The two meet outside the village gates, by a near by tree.
It felt nice, the cooling summer breeze blowing upon her face as she handed the letter over to her doppelganger.
Once the doppelganger saw what was written upon the surface of the letter, more and more background to the situation was add.
But no answers was given, only more questions. If things keep going like this, then we will get nowhere?
And the people that have done it, will get off shalt free? At least that what Dark Hinata said to the Light one.
It did not seem like Hinata care much about what was written on the letter? or if the people that brought illness to her life was caught?
No! Hinata was curious about how she pull out such incredible feet, back at the flower shop.
She moved just like her mother in the memories in which she called. Made no noise, and left no trace to follow.
How did she do it? she wondered to herself as she stared upwards toward the sky, allowing the sun to warm her cold face.
Just remembering memories of her mother, allowed her to use her skill! How is that possible.
It was like she automatically new what to do, and what of those memories.
She lived them no question but it was strange, she was an baby when those events took place, so how could she remember them?
Let alone through the eyes of her mother. It was so many odd questions that needed to be answered.
But the young girl knew that she could not be focusing on things like her mother!
No! It was oblivious that she must focus on who trashed her room, and what was the reasons behind the actions.
Those the things that was coursing through Hinata's mind as she lowered her head and stared at her doppelganger standing before her.
With one look at her doppelganger face, she just knew that she have the next step of the plan to get the truth thought out.
"So what's next on getting justice?" spoke Hinata so frustrated with all of this
"Well since you didn't take too much time, we are able to move to the stages." spoke the Dark Hinata
"And what that?" spoke Hinata thinking thousand things at once, as she stared at herself standing before her.
"The paper you have me, tell us that the Yamanaka flower shop, got a shipment of flowers with a particular nectar, once extracted becomes a liquid.
If the liquid is introduce to the human body, it will caused the human body to go through a paralyze.
Ino maybe smart, but she not smart enough to extract necter from flowers?" spoke Dark Hinata wondering who could have helped her, besides Sakura which have been delt with, and Neji.
As she took the time to wonder who could also be apart of this conspiracy, Hinata already knew who to she about this matters and walked back to the flower shop.
Where she bought the same flowers that hold the paralyzing nectar.
Holding the flowers in hand, she turned to her room and she explained her plan to her dark doppelganger.
Her plan was well thought out and quite devious, the Dark one was having a hard time believing Hinata could on up with such a thing.
It was so unlike her, well it not like the doppelganger was complaining about Hinata little change. Actually she quite like the new vision of the young Hyuuga's girl personality.
She was coming along nicely to go through the changing, but she still was not ready. Just a little bit more and everything would be in place!
"Well what do you think about my plan?" spoke Hinata intensely staring into the Dark One's eyes, waiting for a response.
"Seeing as night about to fall once again over the village, it is quite perfect. But don't get cocky, even perfection have it flase". replied the Doppelganger as the two of them went to complete the plan.
Weeks went by since that day, and the justice in which Hinata thought she would have gained by following this woman, was not there.
Only pain appeared in the young Hyuuga's girl heart, when she forced to face the facts that all of the people she called friends turned against her.
Knowing that they all play apart of the destruction of her room, breaking her mothers picture, and causing her to almost face death!
Knowing such truths, the young Hinata girl went to the head of the leaf village.
Hoping that the Hokage would do something!
But once she arrived in the Third"s office, she was shocked to see a group of anbu's standing before her eyes.
"What is going on?" spoke Hinata so confused at this point in time.
"Hinata! For the past few weeks you have been in a state of confusion and panic. It probably was the caused of me telling you that I was calling off the search for Naruto.
And for that I am sorry! Now for saying that, I have to protect the any that out-wights the one.
That is way I am sending you to a high guarded prison, where you will spend the rest of your days, until you admit to the crimes of placing Shikamaru, Shino, Ino, Sakura, Lee, Kiba, and Tenten, all in the hospital.
And almost attacking your cousin Neji!
Now since I have said this, the next few words will not be so painful.
Take her out?" spoke the Third Hokage feeling disappointed as the anbu captured the young Hyuuga girl, and transferred her to the wagon outside the village gates.
Where they put a blindfold over her eyes, so she could not see and a sell across her hands, so she could not perform hand signs.
"Get in there!?" spoke one the anbu as he placed his hands upon Hinata, and through her body into the wagon.
Once the girl was inside the wagon, and the door was closed. The wagon began to move away from the village taking the poor girl to a high-guarded prison, where she would never see the light of day again.
