Hinata stood in front of her father waiting for her punishment. To her waiting was more painfull than the actual punishing.
"Hinata where the hell were you ?"
Hinata looked down at the floor and opened her mouth to speak but clenched her fist in frustration when no words would come out. She had no idea what to do , she wanted to say something , anything , she had to say something.
"I'm talking to you Hinata !"
She flinched , even with the height difference between him and her and the fact that her head was down she could still make out the strong scent of beer. She then after a few seconds looked up but avoided eye contact. She was trembling but you could hardly tell.
"I'm so ... sorry fa father , sorry ... I ..."
Hinata lowered her head. She couldn't remember the last time she was able to speak a complete sentence or the last time she wanted to as a matter of fact.
" That's it ? You have the entire clan out looking for you , me thinking about alerting the hokage about this , and you don't even have an excuse ?"
Hinata opened her mouth and spoke , studdering but speaking none the less.
" I"m sorry father ... I , I wa was running and I ju , I just got too tired and ... I stopped to re rest and ... then i think , I just got too tired and i fell asleep from running too long."
Hinata tensed up waiting for a slap or a yank , anything that might just happen she was going to be ready for.
"Hinata ... you must not understand. WE HAD THE ENTIRE CLAN OUT LOOKING FOR YOU !"
Hiashi mumbled under his breath , he simply stated she wasn't worth finding anyways. He lifted in an eyebrow as if he was being amused or something when
Hinata lifted her head. She made direct eye contact and just couldn't take it anymore. She was tired of studdering for someone who didn't deserve a second thought as to what was said to him.
She was tired of being treated useless and she was going to let him know it. Tonight he was going to get the point.
"WELL IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC THEN , IF YOU HAD THE ENTIRE CLAN OUT LOOKING FOR ME AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD FIND ME WAS MY COUSIN WHO'S ONLY A YEAR OLDER THAN ME !"
Hinata was replied to with her new found courage with a slap to the face. Hinata was silent except for a small whimper. She was then grabbed by the jacket and pulled down the hallway. She looked back at her cousin , her brother. She mouthed the words I'm sorry and she knew he understood well what she had said. That's why it hurt so bad when he just stood there blankly staring at her.
She felt every nerve in her body tense as she looked back as he casually walked away as if nothing was going on and as if he had seen nothing. Something inside her told herself not to be expecting any help this time. When they entered his room stumbling on the way there , he threw her against the wall where her arm cracked upon pressure.
She looked down at it and felt tears form behind her eyes but wouldn't let them come out. Tonight she wasn't going to let him win , even if he got what. Then out of nowhere Hinata cried at the unexpected and sudden sting from a punch to her face.
"HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO A WORD I'VE BEEN SAYING YOU LITTLE BITCH ?"
Hinata looked dumbfounded as she tried her hardest to keep from sobbing while she managed to speak.
"What ?"
She looked back at her arm which was already starting to swell. Was she too focussed on the pain to comprehend what was going on in her head. Even though she was so young she put two and two together.
Was all she ever had to do was focus on pain, to block out was going on around her.
She smiled at her throbbing arm , if so this was going to be pretty easy for her.
