1st generation. 2nd generation. 3rd generation.
2nd generation: Riku, Sora, Emi, and Mai. The generation called the Era of Love and Heartbreak.
Riku. The older twin, the one that could smile and joke about anything, hiding his worries and insecurities with a smile. The broken hearted lover of Emi Hyuga. The servant of the Ouji-sama who is now the Ouja-sama. Mother left them at a young age.
Sora. The younger twin. A cold, calculating air around him. He tends to be jealous of Emi for stealing his brother. Is the current lover of Mai. Had a son named Goku who was murdered on a mission. He believes it was Hime-sama. The servant of the Ouji-sama who is now the Ouja-sama. Mother left them at young age.
Emi Hyuga. The illegitimate child of the previous Hyuga head. She had inherited the Baykugan from the head. A beautiful daughter of a mistress. She showed ability but was refused a definite place in the Hyuga family. She was kidnapped many times for her eyes as many with her power before her have been but no one but herself rescued her at the young age. That is until Riku came in her life. The lover of Riku. Murdered by her groom on the day of her wedding as she eloped with Riku.
Mai. The most popular person in the ninja school for her athletic skills and personality. A daughter of a villager and a wandering playboy traveler. She had faced abuse both physically and mentally from her alcoholic, depressed mother. She is the lover of Sora and the mother of his son. She had taken the news the best and has disagreed with the claim that Hime-sama could have killed her own brother and Goku.
Riku looked so lost, so empty, as he placed his hand on his blue, cold eye. He couldn't kill that Hyuga girl. Not without losing his sanity. Sora also knew but refused to acknowledge it, denying it. "Hey. Hyuga girl." Riku asked with a gentle, sad voice with an equally heartbreaking smile. "What's your name?"
Hinata glanced at Seina and saw her shrug. Hinata, in her defensive stance, looked hesitant. "Hinata. Hinata Hyuga." Riku's smile grew at the confirmation of the last name.
"You know…you remind me of a girl I love." Hinata gritted her teeth at the mention of the girl. "Her name was Emi. Emi Hyuga."
"Wait…the illegitimate child that died at her wedding? That Emi?" It finally dawned on Hinata as Riku winced.
"Yah." Sora cut in, "Now stop blabbering and start fighting." Seina's eyes sharpened as she looked her opponent up and down. His being shouted revenge and hatred. Seina took the first move and attacked but he just gripped her arm and flipped her on the ground, sending pain through the injured Seina. She gets up and attacks from behind but he doesn't even look back and grabs her attacking foot then she punches him but he grabs her arm also. She grunts in frustration as he throws her across the grassy terrain. She gets up instantly but a bit wobbly as the damage had been done.
Hinata glanced at Riku who was looking at her with deep eyes. She felt his sadness and knew his love was indeed impossible. Hinata closed her eyes and cleared her heart from sympathy and understanding. He is the opponent. Don't let your feelings interfere with your fight.
A tall man looks disapprovingly at little Hinata as she lay on the ground breathing hard, sweat rolling down her tired face. "You're a disgrace. Be more like your sister." Hinata clenched her hands into fists that lay on the floor.
With determination filling her eyes, Hinata charged at Riku. He did not move until the last second as he unwillingly grabbed her arm and twists it behind her back. Hinata cringes in pain as she gets pushed to the ground. She looks up from her toppled hair and gets up slowly.
Riku, with a monotone, does a single hand signal, "A thousand daggers!" A thousand rock daggers yet again come at Hinata. Hinata moves her arms in a circular motion and it soon gets faster and faster.
She yells, "Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" her old technique has advanced greatly as she blocked every single dagger with ease. Riku smiled a bit as his daggers lay broken on the ground.
"Sora. Should we give them a hint of why we did this technique?" Sora's eyes sharpen at his brother's seriousness and nods unwillingly. "Because we can read your moves from behind and all around. I see what he sees and he sees what I see. We came up with it ourselves. Like it?" Seina and Hinata looked at each other, both locked stares of amazement and awe but mostly horror.
Seina gritted her teeth at the twins strength. I guess I'm going to have to use my ninjustu… Seina closes her eyes as she steadies her breathe and concentration. I'm still a bit shaky of this technique…but I can do it….hopefully. She does a hand signal and soon a crystalized pink dragon forms with striking bright green eyes.
Sora looks impressed and gets ready, not scared. Crystal can take down wood, water, and earth techniques. But wind, fire, lightening, and sound can take it down. Guess I'm in luck. Sora's smug smirk grew as got ready but Seina, on the other hand, had another plan.
Let's get this over with. Seina eyes snapped open as she stood on top of her intimidating dragon, her eyes focusing on Hinata and Riku. She jumps off as soon as her dragon swiftly rushed to its target, surprising both twins. Hinata rolled out of the way just in time. Both twins eyes widened as the dragon went straight through Riku, disappearing as soon it striked its target. Sora eyes filled with desperation as he ran and sent a wind ninjustu with a pained cry.
But it was too late. The crystals reached Riku's neck and Sora fell to his knees, sadness filling his eyes. His tears crying blood as their eyes soon reverted back to their original owner. Riku smiled gently as his younger brother cried. "Don't cry, you big baby."
"I'm not crying." Sora snapped back instinctingly, grief still playing pain in his sea blue eyes. "Don't die. Please…don't die." pain overflowed in his voice.
Riku continued to smile and replied softly, "It's my time Sora. Listen, Aku…what he's doing isn't right. We both know that…don't fight these kids."
"So you're saying I go back home as a traitor?" Sora yelled, tears mixing with his bloodied eyes.
"No…use me as an excuse…Aku will understand. He definitely will…I can see her Sora." Sora closed his eyes at that statement. "Emi's waiting for me."
"Don't go!" Sora yelled, his voice cringing with low sobs. "Please…" Riku smiles sweetened and he turned his head to look up to the sky.
"Don't blame Rin." Sora's eyes sharpened as they opened. "Aku has caused her to become corrupted as did Aku's father to him…Isn't the sky limitless Sora?" Sora winced a bit at his brother's calm and gentle tone. "So are human's lives… don't drown in the past like me…I love you Sora." Sora raised his hand, his eyes drowning in sorrow as he looked at his brother. His other half. His dear, idiot older brother.
"I love you too…Riku." Sora, with kunai gripped in his hand, slammed it in the crystal's shell over his dying brother. Riku gave one last smile then closed his eyes as his whole body dissolved in crystalized dust. Sora stood up a bit wobbly, looking up at the cloudless sky. "It shouldn't be this nice weather…it should be raining…like that day." An image of a smiling Riku filled the sky as the crystal dust finally blew away the wind. He looked over to the woman who killed his brother with ice cold hate yet sadly. "I will listen to my brother's last words and leave you alone…but mark my words…I will never forget this." He turned and saw that the only remaining part of his brother was his head. He grabbed the head and looked at the two pale girls. "Goodbye." With that, he left.
Hinata looked worriedly at Seina as her fists tightened in pain. "Seina…it was the only way…"
"I know…but it doesn't stop the pain." Seina looked sadly at Hinata as she tried a fake smile to not let her friend worry. "Let's go check on Shikamaru and Temari." Hinata nods hesitantly, still worried. As they travelled along the line of cracked ground, they saw Temari, cut up and dirt covered, helping an unmotivated and equally dirty Shikamaru out of the crack.
"Shikamaru? Temari?" the two wounded girls looked amazed. Each one of the dirty two gave their own gesture of hello.
"How'd you get out?" Seina asked, putting on a sad smile.
"The question is how did you defeat the twins?" Temari asked coolly. Seina's leans onto Hinata suddenly, needing support to keep her up. Everyone looks worriedly at her. "You ok?"
"I-I'm fine. It's just that I used too much chakra." The three of them glanced at each other, not believing her.
"I think you and Hinata did your part…You guys rest. Me and Shikamaru will go catch up with the others... but before that…what exactly happened?" Temari raised an eyebrow skeptically. Hinata's eyes filled with sadness as Seina looked away.
"One of the twins is dead. The other twin took him back to their village." Hinata replied slowly and hesitantly. Temari glanced at Seina then to Shikamaru. Shikamaru shrugged with curious eyes as Temari sighed in frustration.
"Stay here and rest. We will be back to get you." Shikamaru said, patting Seina's shoulder then the two of them left, leaving the two injured girls alone. But were the injuries physically or mentally?
Naruto couldn't believe it. He just couldn't. His blood boiled as he remembered the sight of the emotionless, cold Rin. She is their friend. Why couldn't she understand that? Gaara glanced at Naruto worriedly, seeing as Naruto felt the same as him.
"Naruto…we'll get her back." Gaara hoped it would cheer the blonde up. Naruto looked up to Gaara with such fierce and serious eyes.
"We will. We will." Gaara nodded at the determined tone he was using. He and Naruto sped up their pace as they felt two strong chakras nearby.
"Rin. Don't do anything rash. We just need to get the prize then leave. As simple as that." Kyo commented at the cold Rin. She didn't even meet his eyes as she kept her eyes ahead of them.
"Yeah. I know." Rin replied unconvincingly, Kyo smirked a bit. "They are catching up. If they do catch us, I go solo and you fight them." Kyo's eyes filled with bloodlust at the statement. "Don't kill them."
"Oh, I'll do worse." Kyo retorted cruelly. Rin pressed her lips together in response.
The Hokage stood in front of the forest, his hands meeting behind him, waiting. He needed to stop this for once and for all. Or else everyone's lives in the village will be in danger. But there was another reason. Lily.
(A/N: Ok, I know it sucked but I'm not really familiar with the crystal justu so if I did anything wrong, which I probably did, I apologize and please bear with it. Well, there's no song for this chapter since it was a bit too mixed but the next chapter is ganna be a very bloody one. Well see ya next time!)
