Rating: PG13

091. Implusive

The first time he hit her, Neji was seven, Hinata was six. He lashed out at her when she wouldn't listen to him as he repeatedly told her to stay away. Falling on her bottom, eyes wide and staring up at her Neji–niisan in shock, she was mute. When she clumsy scrambled to her feet and ran away without looking back, Neji's mother grabbed him by the shoulder and slapped him, but it was useless, for he was already crying.

092. Improving

By the time he was ten, he could reduce Hinata-sama to a small, mousy, quivering mess in 30 seconds. When he was twelve he simply had to look at her coldly and she withdraw into her shell. When he was thirteen he made it his goal not to simply make her withdraw but to make her fall and never get back up again.

093. Twisted sort of love

He loved it when she was warm and pliant and utterly soft beneath him. Her skin brushing silkily against him, legs entangled with his, small hands encircling his torso, flushed cheeks pressed next to him.

She was always so small under him. She looked so fragile, like a single mistaken touch could break her. So tiny compared to him, and so timid as she raised her eyes shyly to his.

He loved being buried in her, body pushing down onto hers, elbows supported by the sides of her head as he nuzzled against her hot cheek and neck.

" Hinata." He breathed.

And she would promptly nuzzle against him to hide the blush he induced. And he reached out for her in the way he knew would tip her over.

She always looked like one mistaken touch could break her.

Break her - and then he could take all the time he wanted to make her whole again.

094. Better

" Your heart is healing." Tsunade said to the young Hyuuga girl, letting the genin pull her shirt back together. " Some more rest and careful exercise, don't over do it, and it should heal up just fine. No lingering heavy side-effects."

Outside the door tension eased from a recent Chuunin standing guard.

095. "Screwed"

" Hinata have you seen my-" Kiba turned the corner of to the training ground and stopped..

Under the shades of a large oak Hinata lay resting. That was not so surprising, what was stupefying was she lay between two figures; one behind spooning her, spiky blond hair, bright blues eyes which were closed, a bright orange outfit, and his arm being used a pillow for Hinata. In front of her was long dark hair flowing past broad shoulders, pale eyes closed in sleep, face rested on Hinata's chest, arms wrapped around her middle pulling her form close to him. They were all clothed but Kiba was speechless in how the three of them had ended up in such a position.

" Kiba-kun?" a voice came from behind him, and he whirled to see Hanabi. " Have you seen Nee-sama, she didn't come home last night. She was supposed to have been training here…" The younger Hyuuga trailed off as she came into sight of the spectacle. He watched in nervousness and fascination as her face flushed red, but different then her older sister, it was not from embarrassment. " I'm going to KILL you two!!" She screamed.

Naruto and Neji startled awake and rolled away instinctively from the punch. Hinata was blinking in shock. " Hanabi-chan!"

" Just you wait!" Hanabi roared. " I'll show you to be so familiar!"

096. Arrogance

" Do you honestly believe you can lead the clan?" Hidoshi raised an eyebrow. The rest of the council looked on silently to the Chuunin seated on the place before them. " You are just a weak little girl. You couldn't even defeat your sister 5 years junior and you were already defeated by the generation's prodigy. Who would follow you?"

Clear, firm, and powerful the calm words cut through the room. " I would." All members turned to look at Hyuuga Neji who sat in front of the left side of the room where many seated with white cloth tied over their forehead, whom had recently been appointed as - " The Branch House would." He replied and tilted his head coolly. " It is our duty after all."

097. Eight

" Happy birthday!" Hanabi said, handing a wrapped box to Jiyuu.

" Thank you Hanabi-nee-chan." The newly eight year old said to his aunt.

She ruffled his hair. " I remember when you're father was your age." She teased.

Neji looked at her. " You were two."

She glared. " It doesn't matter how old I was. You haven't grown up since then."

Neji stiffened and Jiyuu moved his presents quickly from the room.

098. A year apart

On the eve of his daughter's 18th birthday he sent her away to be presented at court.

Three month later on a mission: " Hyuuga Hiashi? As in-oh, sorry. Ignore my ramblings."

In the wave country, looking at the entrance of the new bridge, and a passing comment from an enigmatic business man: "You must be so proud."

Half-way to rock country, meeting an ambassador: " It's an honour to meet the father of Hyuuga-san."

In the snow country, leaving a conference and being stopped momentarily by a powerful, jaded young lord who smiled bitterly. " You have another daughter at home?"

Guarding Lady Shukira, the head of House of a prominent noble family of the desert country, who never suffered fools. "She was magnificent, and growing more so."

A Specialist returning from a SS-mission, bloody and torn up, healed by the Godaime, stopping him in the halls, speaking only the single mystifying sentence: " She is the strongest person I know."

Drinking tea with the Fire Lord who broke the silence with: " My Heir wanted to come ask you for her hand in marriage." The silent young man seated to the Fire Lord's right tilted his head fractionally. " He would have my blessings, except she rejected the offer."

Watching her come back the same way she left; sandals, pants, jacket, eyes facing forward, long blue hair in the wind, a travel bag over one shoulder, walking to the gates with only Neji next to her.

099. Gift

"This was hers." Hiashi said stiffly as he handed the wrapped parcel to Hanabi.

The girl stared at the silky fabric for a long moment before reaching out awkward arms to take the burden. She unfolded the cloth to see the title A Compendium of Herbs on a worn cover. Shoji door slid open then closed as Hiashi left but she never looked up from the book.

Trembling hands reached out and gripped the top corners tightly until her knuckles were white. Breath hitched, body frozen, eyes bright, she breathed out shakily. She blinked and a tear slid down a pale cheek.

"H-Hinata." She whispered, closing her eyes in pain. In her mind she heard the messenger nin repeat his message another time.

...the last report submitted to the Hokage two months ago, and a recent investigation to the mission site which brought back no survivors, circumstances indicate that Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hinata along with Uzumaki Naruto and Yamanaka Ino are presumed dead; killed in action. The Hokage would like to extend her condolences...

100. Possession - "Mine"

His name is imprinted in the small of her back, done by a manifested chakra blade of his ki. The mark goes down deep and into her internal circulation systems, and sometimes she thinks it has sunk into her soul. But he looks at it and thinks it is still somehow not enough.
