As they drove, Hinata looked out the window, wondering what their new house would look like. It made her wonder what kind of life she would have if she hadn't met Kiba. He had been so nice to her when they were in high school, but now he he was just so abusive And she knew that she couldn't leave, or get out of this relationship with him. She was far too deep in this relationship with Kiba. Gently gripping the necklace, Hinata wondered if the man that gave it to her had been real or, if this had been a random gift that had been given to her. She couldn't remember anymore the memory was so far away from her.

"What are you doing Hinata? Why don't you just get rid of that necklace? It can't be worth anything to you after all." Kiba said with a bit of a growl.

Hinata knew that Kiba was pissed off about the necklace. Ever since they started dating he tried to buy her new necklaces to get her to forget about the nine tailed fox one she wears every day. But, something told her to keep it. That it was worth keeping, that she would find the one that gave it to her. Though, she didn't know why Sighing softly, the young woman said "I can't Kiba. It means a lot to me, it holds a great value to me that could never be replaced"

"There could be millions of necklaces like that Hinata! Come on, just get rid of it and get a new one or something later, after all it makes you look like some spoiled bitch."

Hinata just stared at him with sad eyes, he just didn't get it how could he? Kiba believed in violence to deal with a girlfriend. But, Hinata believed that love and equal partnership was the real way to be with someone Sighing softly, Hinata whispered "this is a one of a kind necklace. I've looked. No one could even come close to coping this."

"Whatever."

Hinata just sighed softly; it didn't matter to him did it? All that mattered to him was that she got rid of this damn thing. But she wouldn't. No, she couldn't There was a soul purpose for this necklace, whatever that was, Hinata had a feeling that she would find out. Yawning, she ran a hand through her waist length blue hair as her lavender coloured eyes shined with the morning sun. Looking around at the surroundings of the town she grew up in.

It was so hard to believe that she was finally leaving this place. It almost seemed so heart breaking

The drive was quite; Hinata wasn't sure how long it was going to take them to get to their new house. It seemed like it was going to take forever Maybe it was because long drives always made her think like that. Yawning softly, the young woman laid her head against the window, wondering about her family. Thinking that it was better that she had left. Her sister had started to work for their father, and as for her mother well she had passed away a few years after the shrine was destroyed. It seemed like no matter what, her life had been revolved around that single shrines destruction.

"Yo, Hinata I'm going to make a pit stop here. Gotta refill on gas and get some drinks." Kiba muttered when he stopped the car at a gas station. Hinata sighed and thought about getting her own drink. She had learned a while ago that when he meant by getting drinks, it was for himself and himself only. He never bothered to get drinks for her and that well it did hurt her feelings a little bit.

Once inside, Hinata started to look around, wondering what she could get herself. It was always such a hard decision. Though, as she looked, Hinata couldn't help but feel that she was being watched. Why that was, she wasn't sure at the moment. Hell, she had felt that she was being watched the last few years. Around the same time that she had started dating Kiba. And, it was starting to bother the young woman greatly.

"Excuse me miss, are you looking for something to drink?" Asked a tall man in his twenties, which had caused Hinata to look up and blink in confusion. He wore a hat that covered any sign of hair that she could have made out. A tall collared jacket that covered most of his face, the only thing that she could make out was the ocean blue eyes. Though, for some reason Hinata thought that she had seen them before but didn't make any kind of comment on it at all. Though, she nodded to his question which she saw that he had a faint smile on his face. "Well, I may not be an expert on drinks but try this. It'll lift your spirits."

Frowning in confusion, Hinata took a white can from the blue-eyed man and stared at it for a moment. The letters were silver as they spelled out 'Spirited Soda'. It was a bit of a catchy name. Looking back up at the man, who wasn't even there anymore? That was weird shrugging, Hinata walked over to the counter to pay for the drink but what had confused her even more was that there wasn't even a price for this soda.

"Just take it, someone must have left it here" Said the boy behind the counter, though for the boy's troubles Hinata left a twenty, why not? She figured that he would have to deal with Kiba when he came in for drinks and to pay for gas. Not like this could get any worse right? Yawning, the young woman walked out of the store and down to the car. Once taking her seat, Hinata fingered the necklace that still rested around her neck, doing that had always relaxed her.

Once she got her seat belt back on, Hinata took a sip of the soda and her smile brightened. It was wonderful! Giggling softly, Hinata started to drink the whole thing. She was surprised that anyone would want to give this drink away, it made her wonder though how that man got a hold of a drink that they didn't even have in the store in the first place? Maybe it was one of those many wonders about the world that no one would ever understand

"Bout time you finally got in the car you bitch." Kiba said with a hiccup. Which told her that he had been drinking already great, just great, this was the last thing that she needed right now. After all, he wouldn't let her drive the car

"Kiba, you shouldn't drink when you're going to drive"

"And maybe you shouldn't be a bitch you whore!"

Hinata blinked in shock. That had been the first time that he had ever called her a whore. Sure, he would call her a bitch once in a while but a whore was a new level for him. Turning away, Hinata whispered "I'm sorry" She just sighed softly and leaned her head against the window. Not sure what she could do now, only that she should keep her mouth shut for the time being.

Kiba just growled as they started to drive off. Hinata sighed softly, why was this happening? Why did she have to have any kind of feelings for someone like Kiba? Maybe, this was just how she was. 'Sometimes, I wish I had found love like Neji' Thought Hinata with a frown, since freshmen year Neji had asked his crush TenTen to be his girlfriend, and of course she said yes and as of a month ago they got married Young love yes, but they were in love

"Where was that house again?" Muttered Kiba as he looked around, which to Hinata didn't make sense right now since they weren't even in the city yet

"Maybe you should ask directions." Suggested Hinata with a frown, only to receive a growl from her boyfriend and, made her flinch away from him. He was scary when he was drunk.

"Maybe you should shut the fuck up." Kiba growled at her, baring his teeth at her. Revealing the sharp fangs that he had, which reminded her of dog's teeth. Sometimes, it frightened her a little bit. Hinata shrunk a bit in her seat, staring at the floor of the car as if she had found it interesting. Maybe she had, though at least it was better than staring at Kiba.

"Damn it, I still can't find it" Kiba slurred a bit. A sure sign that he was drunk, Hinata gripped the necklace around her neck once more, hoping that it would bring her a piece of mind right about now It was the one thing that she would need right about now.

Yawning softly, Hinata slowly gripped the map from the dashboard and slid it on the seat till it was right next to Kiba. Maybe, if she made him see the map that he'll finally get the idea that they weren't in the city yet. Better than nothing right? "Hmm?" Kiba felt something hitting his thigh, making him look down at the corner of his eye and there, he saw a map which made him smirk a bit. "I knew I had a map somewhere." Turning the car and stopping it at the curb, he picked up the map and tried to find where they were.

Though, from the looks of it, it would take a little while to read. The map was so big that it seemed impossible right about now. Sighing softly, Hinata slowly started to drift off to sleep. Maybe a nice nap will keep her busy for the time being.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes. Wondering where she was, what was this place? It was nothing but an open meadow. It was beautiful, breath taking. It was something she never that could ever exist. But, how did she ever think of a place like this? Shaking her head, Hinata started to look around, maybe she could figure out what this place is, maybe this was somewhere she had been too before but couldn't remember. It was possible at this point right?

Hinata felt a calm and gentle breeze blowing her long hair, it smelled like cherry blossoms. Those were her favourite flower was wafting through this wonderful place. Though, for some reason she felt like a breeze on her legs?

Looking down, Hinata saw that she was wearing some strange clothes. Something she has never seen before. She was wearing pink pants that reached her knees. And tied around her waist was a blue apron. Explains why she felt a draft, since she had left with long black pants today Though, when she looked at her shirt she saw that the long sleeved fish net shirt and sleeveless purple zip up shirt was gone, replaced with a matching shirt with its sleeves tied back with a single white ribbon.

"Why am I wearing this? I look like I'm about to go to work at a bath house" Hinata said with confusion, strange to see that she was suddenly in a different outfit Normally when she slept she wore she fell asleep in. But this, this was completely new to her

Running her hand through her hair, Hinata was shocked to feel that she had her hair tied back at the nap of her neck. This was really starting to confuse her. Why was she even having this dream in the first place?

"Hinata?" Said a strong deep yet also soft voice, Hinata turned around and her eyes widened when she saw a man standing there before her. Who was he? Why did he look so familiar? Shaking her head, Hinata stared at him, trying to see if she could remember him. Spiky blonde hair, deep ocean blue eyes, three whisker marks adorn his cheeks. But other than that, she couldn't make out how his face looked

He looked very handsome, which had caused the young woman to blush a soft pink. Though, looking closer at him, she couldn't help but notice his clothes A long sleeved shirt, the ends of the sleeves had swirling black flames. His pants, black with orange flames that reached his knees. And to finish his outfit was the orange belt that rested around his waist. 'This guy must really like orange and black' Hinata thought, though she blushed more as she could clearly see the muscles that his clothes clung too.

"You can't be here" Whispered the man, which had confused Hinata deeply, for why couldn't she be here? It didn't make any kind of sense. Though, as she stared at the man, she saw some sort of joy in his eyes yet, also a deep fear.

"What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't be here Hinata; you'll be in danger if you come here"

"But, I am here"

"Only in your dream, you mustn't come here. Don't come to the city"

"The city?" What did he mean by that? Did this man mean that she shouldn't go to the city that she and Kiba were going too? If so, then it would make sense right about now. But, then again it didn't

"You'll be in danger if you go there. You'll face things that no one should ever face understand. Please Hinata, don't come to the city." Warned the blonde man, which only caused Hinata to be even more confused than before, what was so bad about the city? Was there something there that he didn't want her near? It was hard to say, but it wouldn't matter what she wanted Kiba was the one driving right now.

"I'm sorry, but I can't Kiba won't listen to me" She whispered softly, not sure what she should do about this dream wait; it's only a dream "You're not real so why warn me about something that isn't even real in the first place." It wasn't a question, more like a demand from the young woman. She wasn't going to let a dream tell her what to do this time. After all, Hinata already got told what to do from Kiba.

The man sighed as he said "then you'll face these dangers that I've tried to warn you about I've done nothing but tried to protect you over the years even though you've forgotten me, and my mind had forgotten you."

"What?"

"We'll meet Hinata"

Before Hinata could even ask what he had meant, the man faded away from her dream. This didn't make any kind of sense for the young woman. Frowning in deep thought, she tried to think on what had happened but nothing came to mind. What did he mean that she had forgotten him, and his mind also forgetting her? This was just getting stranger and stranger the more she thought about it

"This is only a dream Hinata, and dreams can't harm you in anyway" She told herself, wanting to wake up right about now. But, it was as if the harder she tried to wake up the more impossible it became. Her mind had also kept drifting to the blonde male, he seemed different then Kiba Everything that he had said made her wonder about everything

"Hey Hinata wake the fuck up already!" Shouted an angry voice, before Hinata could even figure it out on who the voice belongs too, she felt a stinging pain on her face and it kept happening over, and over the pain got worse and worse

Whimpering, Hinata slowly opened her eyes to see Kiba standing outside her side of the car, his hand on her shoulder and his hard and cold gaze staring right at her. Hinata blinked at Kiba as she felt the pain in her face at full force. It made her whimper out in pain now, and she tried not to shed her tears fearing that Kiba would hit her again for it.

"Bout time you woke up you bitch Look, there's our future home." Kiba said as he pointed to the hill, showing her the bright white house that shined at the top of the hill.

Yup, that was their future home alright a home that won't be filled with laughter and joy. It'll be a home, filled with fear, screams, pain and suffering Something that the woman never wanted to deal with when she had her own home, seeing their home almost made Hinata want to cry out of fear. "It's great Kiba we're almost there." Hinata whispered softly, gently rubbing her face wondering if it'll bruise her pale skin

Looking in the mirror, Hinata frowned more too late, it already started to bruise Looks like she'll need more make-up to cover the new bruise on her face, reaching into her purse, Hinata started to dab the cover up with her make-up brush. Least they had cover up in her natural skin colour. It made up for it

"Makes me wonder how long it'll take to get there." Kiba muttered as he took his seat. Hinata just shrugged, not sure if he wanted her to answer him or not, but kept on putting her cover up, this was bruise number five She was still healing from the bruises he had given her arms, both of her eyes and finally her cheek. He didn't hit often but when he did, it hurt like hell. And it always took months for her bruises to fade away The bruises on her arms started to fade but the ones over her eyes wouldn't fade for a few more months at the most

"So Hinata, how long do you think it'll take to get to the house if we take this road?" Asked Kiba as he stared at the blue haired woman with his animal-like eyes, when she looked up at Kiba she wondered why she ever liked him. Was it because he was nice to her, and was willing to even speak with her? Sometimes it made her think, or she should say rethink on her relationship with him.

"I don't know, maybe if we turned around and took a different road an hour?" Hinata guessed, she wasn't really sure since she had fallen asleep to help her pass time. But, she had been afraid to give him any kind of answer, for she thought that he would beat her again. Thinking that he would someday kill her cause of these beatings, which was what she had feared the most.

"Maybe, but I'm not taking the chance for I might just end up going in circles, and I won't allow that to happen!" Kiba declared.

'You'll just get us lost' Hinata wanted to say to him, but stuck with it being in her thoughts. What was the point of saying anything if he never agreed with her to begin with?

With that, Kiba started to drive on, still going down the road that they were on. Sometimes, Hinata thought that he had no sense of direction. And, will never ever gain a sense of direction if he kept up his attitude. Yawning softly, Hinata looked out the window, thinking on the day she had first met Kiba

"Hinata, you should get a boyfriend" Said a girl with long blonde hair and a light shade of blue eyes, Hinata stared at the girl with sad eyes. This was something that her friend, Ino had been trying to do for over a year now. Trying to get Hinata a man, but no matter what everyman that was or did take any kind of interest in here was never her type. Or, were just plain snobs, or to the point where her father didn't approve of the boy.

Sighing softly, the young girl calmly said "there just hasn't been anyone that caught my interest" Which was still so very true no one had caught her eye yet, and cause of that Hinata never had gone out though she never really tried for it felt like she still owed someone something important she just couldn't remember what it was anymore. Not at this moment anyway Running a hand through her shoulder length hair as she tried to think on what she could or should do to tell Ino that she was fine.

But, her words would just fall on deaf ears.

"Come on Hinata, there are plenty of hot boys here that have eyes for you." Ino said with a bright and cheerful smile. Hinata couldn't help but smile faintly; Ino had changed a lot since she started to date Sai. He was one of the greatest artists in the school, and he also had a weird personality. But not a bad guy no. Sometimes, it just seemed like he was a little more dense with a few things then he should.

The only sure thing that people knew that wasn't hard to find was his feelings for Ino.

"I'm fine being on my own for now Ino, if I'm to be alone through high school by fate then so be it." Hinata said with a smile, trying to be as cheerful as possible. Ino on the other hand just sighed softly; Hinata knew what Ino was thinking. That she was starting to sound like her cousin Neji. He always talked about fate and destiny that it started to get on everyone's nerves. Least, till he met TenTen, she had really changed him, and got him to think about his future Their future together

"You know what; I'm setting you up with one of my friends. And I won't take 'no' for an answer Hinata. You're getting a date and I'll make sure of it." Ino declared a bright and cheerful smile on her face. Well, once Ino gets an idea in her head she sticks to it

"Fine just make sure that he's nice." Hinata said with a small smile.

"Don't worry Hinata; I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. So the only guy you deserve is someone both hot and nice." Ino said with a bright grin, which only made Hinata worry a little. This had bad news written all over it

Hinata was now waiting outside of the movies, for Ino had told her that she had found a guy that she might like. Though, she didn't have any idea who it was as of yet. But, hoped that it would be someone that would like her for her, sighing softly Hinata straightened out her light purple blouse, smoothed out her long black dress pants and made sure that her matching black heeled shoes were on properly so they wouldn't hurt her feet later.

"Hinata!" Shouted Ino as she came to the theater with her boyfriend Sai, he was a tall man with short black hair, paler skin then Hinata herself. His eyes were so dark that they were black as the night itself. It made Hinata wonder how anyone could love those eyes but otherwise, he was still a very good guy and he really did care about Ino. Looking closer, she saw that Sai was wearing a casual white shirt with black slacks.

As for Ino, she was wearing a purple halter top with matching purple pants that clung to her like a second skin. Though, the kind of make-up Ino wore almost made Hinata jealous. The only colour that worked for her was red cause of her pale skin. For Ino, every colour worked for her. She had blue eye shadow, and red lipstick. It made her skin glow with joy.

"So, where's my date?" Asked Hinata with a tilt of her head, she didn't see anyone else with Ino and Sai. It made the blue haired girl think that Ino had forgotten about even looking for a date for her.

"He'll be here don't worry. He said he was going to be a little late cause he had to do a few things for his sister first." Ino said with a small smile, which made Hinata feel a little better. Least Kiba was even on his way here, after all no one deserved to be stood up right? Taking a deep breath, the young woman waited outside with her friends as she waited for her date to show up. Yawning Hinata looked around wondering what this 'Kiba' guy looked like. Maybe, he would look like that guy she saw as a kid, she could faintly remember weird dreams as a child she saw a strange man, though now that she thinks about it Hinata couldn't help but think on how handsome he was even though she never saw his face.

"Yo, sorry I'm late." Said a new voice as it got closer to them. Hinata blinked slowly and turned her head, for she saw a young man running over to them. He had short shaggy brown hair, animal like eyes and strange red triangles on his cheeks. It was weird seeing them, but to her it just added to his handsome features.

He wore a simple red shirt and some ripped, faded blue jeans, his outfit was just so simple and yet, it fit him so well It made him look like he really was some wild animal. Hinata could easily feel the blood seep into her cheeks creating a blush that brought the only real colour to her face.

"Hey, you must be Hinata. Ino said you were beautiful but that word just doesn't seem to do you justice." He happily said, and right away Hinata knew that this must have been Kiba

"Hi It's nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine Hinata."

Hinata couldn't help but blush softly, maybe this could work out. Maybe she could be happy with someone that isn't that strange mystery man that had once been in her dreams. Smiling a bit, Hinata walked into the theater with her friend Ino, Sai, and Kiba. Maybe this really could be a happy ending for her

But sadly, it wasn't It was far from a happy ending for Hinata

A month after they started dating, Kiba started to act different. It was as if his kind and gentle act was just that an act. He started to yell at her, call her names and even beating her Hinata walked into the school, hoping to avoid Ino for she knew how her blonde haired and blue eyed friend would act if she saw Hinata's new black eye.

"Oh my god Hinata, what happened?" Said Ino once she saw Hinata, which had caused the young blue haired woman to wince at the volume of the blonde's voice, this was what she had expected from Ino just what she had expected from her

"I I ran into a door"

"Bull shit! Running into a door wouldn't give you a black eye that big and dark!"

Damn, Ino was right Hinata looked away from her friend, not sure what she should do. If she told Ino that it was Kiba then Ino would blame herself for setting them up together, and Kiba would beat her even more, there was nothing that she could do. There was no way to escape Kiba, not even if she had changed her name and dyed her hair.

"It's nothing, don't worry Ino I'm sure it'll be fine just just fine" Hinata whispered softly, trying to make sure that Ino doesn't dwell on it for she knew that Ino would only make it worse for her Ino just frowned at her with worry and concern but Hinata just smiled and waved it off as nothing for now. "I'll be okay; I was just clumsy today is all."

Ino just frowned again and nodded softly. Hinata knew that this wasn't the end of her misery but for now, she could only hope that everything would be alright for her, and wish for the best

Frowning in deep thought, Hinata wondered why she couldn't beat Kiba herself she had trained in her families old way of fighting and yet, she wouldn't use it against Kiba why? Was it because she was too afraid to fight him? Or, was it just because she was just plain afraid of him in the first place? It would make some sense wouldn't it?

Frowning, Hinata guessed that she was just afraid of him, why else would she refuse to beat him? The young woman had thought that Kiba's beatings would just get worse if she even thought about fighting back. Her only way out of this, was if Kiba disappeared in some sort of fashion. 'Like that would ever happen' Thought Hinata with a sigh, and it was all so very true. There was no way that Kiba would just disappear

"Huh never seen this before" Muttered Kiba as he slowed down the car, which had drawn Hinata's attention, for in front of them was not just some weird creepy statue of what she suspected to be a man, but was some sort of strange looking tunnel. Tilting her head, Hinata turned to Kiba wondering if he had any idea on what this could be.

"Maybe it's an old amusement park. Let's check it out." Kiba said with a smirk as he got out of the car. Hinata tried to refuse, but his glare had made the words freeze in her throat. Gulping, Hinata walked alongside Kiba out of fear. Thinking that something bad was about to happen. Was this what her nightmare, no what her dream had been trying to warn her about? No, that was just a stupid dream and nothing more and nothing less.

'But, was it really just a stupid dream that had tried to warn me about this place?' Thought Hinata as she clung to Kiba's arm, much to his glares and growls, but the only thing that worried Hinata was what may, or may not come for them.
