-1Well I'm back with the second chapter of Tales of a Nightingale. Thanks to InoYamanka and DDR-Princess for the reviews. At the end of this chapter there's a profile for two my OC s in this story. I did the hat thing and I pulled out Itachi's name out of my sister's cowboy hat. So I'll put Itachi in later chapters but if you have a better person to be Hinata's frined then tell me or this will be an Itachi/Hinata fic.

Disclaimer: Naruto and the charaters belong to Kishimoto. I do own however this idea and all OC s in this story.

Warning: Slight confusion. Mainly explanation to the first chapter.

Hinata's POV

"I'm not worth anything, am I?" I asked Aneko. My eyes watched and waited for the verdict from Aneko I was surprised to say the least when she shook her head no. It's been about four hours since I've been sold and I don't even understand what even happened. I know I was sold to a woman called Lady and I'm following a talking fox named Aneko. But why? Shouldn't I… No, I can't. It would be wrong of me to do and what would they say? Hearing a voice I turned my attention back to Aneko who was propped on my bed.

"It's just the situation you were in. You, Nightingale, don't fit this picture of life that your family dictates of you. You don't fit perfectly in their plan, in their type of upbringing. But you aren't at all worthless. Answer me do you think that a rock has a purpose? Well I do. You want to know what I believe. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that everyone has a soul mate. Nightingale don't worry I believe you'll do fine in the manor." said Aneko. For some odd reason looking and listening to Aneko I forgot my little situation. Thinking about what she said I do believe that everything has a reason for being but never actually thinking further into the subject. Not wanting to speak mainly I didn't trust my voice and my throat felt dry I nodded in response. She smiled at me. Standing up she had stretched herself. Taking this moment I examined Aneko's fur and tails. Her fur was a beautiful color of silver and dark red and her eyes were a of an unusual orange color. Noticing me she smiled at me and again I began to cry.

"Oh, come on now don't be like that Nightingale. When we get to the manor you'll love it I promise. Your birthday's in December right?" asked Aneko.

"Yes, it's December 27th "I answered

"Do you love snow?" asked Aneko. Again, I answered yes. "When its snow it is the most gorgeous scene will you ever lay your eyes on. Well, lets get you ready. I want to go home as soon as possible and get you settle in before the morning rush hour starts."

"Wh-What do you mean?" Damn I'm stuttering again.

"So you do stutter. Thought you got over it?"

"Ho-how do y-you kn-know that I used to stutter?"

"Remember that little argument that sprang up in that room back there? Well when Saiyuri, the woman who turned from a red dog, your mother and I were younger we were close friends and we grew apart. When I was about fifteen I accidentally opened a gate of the nine hells and well lets say we all took something that didn't mean to take. For example, me I can't change back into my human form unless it's a full moon or during an eclipse. Not to mention we help let that damn fox out. But well we didn't know and Saiyuri and I was going to take the blame. But unfortunate or fortunate for us depending on how you decipher the events we were announced dead by some random ninjas. They never really liked us anyway. We were too outrageous they said. You know what Nightingale I don't remember clearly what happened when Saiyuri and I opened the gates. Oh, well."

"Is your name really Aneko?"

"No, Lady called me Aneko and so does everyone else. I'd prefer if you would call me Aneko. My birth name is Uta,"

"Wh-What was mother like?"

"Miho, Nightingale was the most conning woman I've ever met besides Lady. Miho knew how to get out of trouble without even breaking a sweat. But Miho was the most generous person I have ever met. You're an exact image of your mother. You have her heart but you grew up in a different lifestyle than your mother. If you had grew up in the environment your mother wanted you would probably a little bit different. But you're a shy one aren't you? And that my dear is what makes you ,you and why you would be a great addition to our little group."

"But what do you do?" I asked with a little more confidence than usual.

"All I do is make sure that Lady remembers all of her appointments and sometimes assist any of the others on their missions. But everyone has their own job that benefits us as a whole and gives some of us a reason for living. But enough talking lets get your things ready o.k.?"

I nodded my head as Aneko jumped from my bed and helped me gather my stuff into my pack.

Normal POV

An hour had passed and Aneko and Hinata had all of Hinata's valued things together.

"Let's go, Nightingale," ordered Aneko as she stood up and climbed on top of the roof. Turning her head back to Hinata Aneko smiled as she saw Hinata climb on the roof. "You are a little to obedient you know? But you'll change. You'll have to change if you want to survive on the missions that will be assigned to you. Nightingale in two years time you will come back here for a visit and you'll fight either your cousin or your sister. Lady wanted to prove to your family that power comes in different forms and that everyone can be a strong fighter if they are trained to fit their style of fighting. Not everyone born with lavender eyes are going to do as well as others. Your family should look into its history a little more carefully." said Aneko as she made a symbol on the roof. Looking down at the symbol on the roof Hinata was about to ask Aneko what it was for but she was cut of by Aneko. " So we can go home. It's a new type of justu that I've been working on for a while. You know I'll teach you how to use it when you get a hold on how things work at the manor."

Standing in front of Hinata was several huge Sakura trees that grew on either sides of the edges of a stone pathway. Looking towards were the pathway lead to Hinata was surprised to see a huge gate not to far from where they were.

"Nightingale, Nightingale, Nightingale! Come on. It's all ready midnight you need as much rest as possible. So hurry it up!" shouted Aneko as she walked ahead of Hinata. Rearranging her pack on her back Hinata followed Aneko.

Stopping at the gate Aneko stood in front of it and motion Hinata to come closer to the gate. "Repeat after me Nightingale. Of the nightingales that weep, we shall all go to sleep. Sakura tree's and needless sleep. She stills the standing tide."

"Of the nightingales that weep, we shall all go to sleep. Sakura tree's and needless sleep. She stills the standing tide." repeated Hinata. Just as Hinata finished the gate opened to reveal a large estate with a large and inviting garden with a large assortment of flowers and huge sunflowers. On the edge of the garden grew large watermelons. Looking ahead Hinata read a sign that said that the estate was called THE LOVELY HEAVEN SPA.

"This is a spa?"

"Not only that my dear Nightingale it's the center of the Black Roses Organization. I would love to explain what we, the Black Roses, do but I'm sleepy so lets get you to bed o.k. and then I'll explain to you in full detail what this organization is all about later on," said Aneko. Following Aneko to the entrance of the estate Hinata wasn't surprise to see the halls empty and dark. What she was surprised about was that someone was up. In one of the front rooms was a woman in her early twenties sitting in a chair bent over on the table grading papers. The woman had short wavy dark sea blue hair and dark green eyes that looked hazed over with boredom. Her skin was flushed with an even tan.

Looking up the woman noticed Aneko and Hinata.

"So you must be the new girl. Well it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Star and my birth name is Shichi Naomi. Even though I know that this is sudden for you Nightingale but tomorrow you'll be with me for most of the day. Lady thought it would be the best way for you to a new grasp on your situation. Lady also said that your good with kids. I don't know if you really do but you look like it. So we'll see how it goes." said Star. "So what's your name that they gave you?"

"Nigh-Nighti-Nightingale" answered Hinata nervously.

"Oh, you have such a pretty name, Nightingale. But we'll have to work on your stuttering a little bit when it comes to meeting new people, if its o.k. with you. Come on let me show you your room and you can meet your room mate Dream. She's really cool and one of the only ones in this house with some common sense and great people skills. Sorry 'bout the mess Aneko." said Star as she grabbed Hinata's backpack from her and signaled Hinata to follow her.

"Star I'm going to bed and don't wake me up until four in the afternoon. You and Dream are going to show Nightingale the ropes tomorrow. 'Night." said Aneko with a yawn.

"Come on lets get you to bed," said Star as Hinata followed her into the estate.

Tell me if you like o.k.? well bye. And sorry 'bout eariler I didn't like it and its a little better. The Hinata/Itachi thing will come up in a 'bout two chapters from now. The entire thing about being sold was abrupt and I do not wish to do put charaters in so abruptly without the situation calling for it. Please tell me about any mistakes that I made in the grammer department.
