Games of Fate


Abandoning the memories..

Similar to dumping a part of me..

To the ghost called.. Past.

My fate..

Is in your hands.

I am a mystery..
An enigma.. Long lost in my own world of darkness..
I am a riddle.. Even to myself..
My existence.. became a shadow..
Like a night owl waiting in dark..My hawkish eyes searching for revenge..
Cold-bloodedly I thirsted for death..
I want it more.. Blood of the one that killed my clan..
My life has its own road, to which it forces me to go..
Everything I've seen, felt and experienced..
None of them were sweeter..
For I had chosen the life of bitter..
The people whom I found..
In this path of hatred are all..
So full of treachery..
Being manipulated by them..
I have been torn between the thin line..
Of false and truth..
Upon living, I have one last task to do..
It is the one and only resolve..
That is to end..
What you have started..
Brother.

"WHAAAT?" Karin and Suigetsu yelled at the Uchiha's retreating back.


They say woman are the most vulnerable creatures of earth. The very species that exist with the flow of life, connecting men to the theory of generation and inheritance firmly providing them heirs and producing the future. The woman serve as the most vital form of creation of life, yet, they look down on that very same gender, just because of some lame predispositions that rooted men refuse to acknowledge woman as their equal.

Condemning this very unique and charming species, saying that female are weak, stupid, emotional and has a lot of setbacks, history has sent them to govern house-hold despite the land and confined them in kitchen and bedroom. The female population has been treated poorly in the past and it reduced gradually in years, men, who were slow-witted before turned to look up woman's role in their life for a change. A woman, is strong enough to hold a man's most gentle and softest part of his soul, that is.. his heart. She controls his life and the events in it, she becomes his life, she becomes his spouse, his family, his aid, his only refuge. Gradually she becomes a part of him. A woman is a creature that reflects soft, gentle, grace, warmth and beauty creatively in her own way. Woman is a species that is created to give what a man lacks. She was created to be by his side, till death parts them.

Speaking of uniqueness, there is one woman that is only one of a kind. Throughout her whole life, she devoted herself to the services of her heart. Her gentle soul could melt any heart, her words were soothing as music, her touches of healing are like that of a stroke of feather. This dainty woman that doesn't associate to darkness at any angle in her life belongs to the light. She envelops every human soul with her calm and warm demeanor. Her gentle gaze could bring a withering life, blossoming alive. Despite minor flaws in her behavior that shows her shyness, this creature is a flawless image of how a woman can be. She is a gem of a woman, a precious soul that survives, that strikes back with amazing confidence and competence when needed. So pure and white in heart, she never fails herself. Despite that she is now travelling with some strangers who were growing friends to her and an estranged old friend, after surviving a hard fall, she is back to her life. Back to herself, with a mission, a determination, that she would help a certain blonde man that she loves to bring his long lost friend home. If she cant become the woman that Naruto loves, at least she could be the woman he is proud of. Yes.. you guessed it right.. this woman is Hyuuga Hinata.


A man in other words, is a strong creature descended from Mars, strong, rough, fast and incredibly hard-core. Man is the fated creature that ruled the earth with fierceness of battle, sheer strength, dominance, war, masculinity, growing technology and the male species are very epitome of the word 'power'. A man's words are the words of a god, he is trusted based on what he promises. Inclined to changes, innovations, creations and the tough parts of life, men endure the hardest things in order to protect what he holds dear. He never falters, never gives up, and never admits defeat. A man is a creature that would never let himself to be seen vulnerable, weak and withdrawn at any cost. The male species are the creators; the very essence of life dwells within them. Despite being violent, and harsh, they posses mind that could learn, a mind that works wonders and a mind that evolves much greater wisdom from experience and failure.

And this man in particular, is a void of darkness, a pit to all pain.. he suffered more than he could. He chose the wrong path for what he had thought, there was no other way to accomplish his one and only goal as a skilled avenger. He lived his life slowly moving into darkness, letting his soul be tainted by evil and finally becoming a brutal killing machine without any small hint of emotion. To him God is a buffoon and his life is a pathetic joke. He knows he only has one chance to life and he opted to turn his back away from it. The curse he carries in his blood was a bloodline limit that is an access to limitless power. The power that was most sought after, the power that evoked every evil intention in a human to make it his possession.

He opted to live to finish off what was started years ago, a cycle of hatred that is now belonged only to him. He inherited hatred, this darkness within him.. it wasn't there when he was a naïve little 6 years old boy.. all he saw was happiness, all he felt was love, joy, courage and the will to increase his ability and to exhibit his potential to become a member in Konoha Police force. But now, all that seemed very much meaningless to him. No matter how much he yearned for time to revert back to his old life.. nothing could change the history, better yet no one could. Not even that incredibly empathetic blonde who was once his friend, team mate and rival can. No one can change the past, but.. Uchiha Sasuke knew he could change his future. Better yet, this stubborn, stuck-up and handsome survivor chose not to bother about it at all. Is there anyone exist in this world that can cause a change to his believes apart from Naruto? It is still yet to be revealed.

Unbeknownst to most and even to himself, this killing machine of a beautiful human has a little light that he carried in his inner most cores. A light that waits for its time to reveal its presence in his essence, it would rebel against his darkness soon enough. He shooed anything that has goodwill, his will however sides only to his ambition. He kept wondering all his life, pretending to be living it to the fullest while it lasts, the man gets laid as much as possible with horny females that lacked woman pride, offering themselves shamelessly to him, he played around and yet.. he was careful enough not to spill his precious seeds that encodes his genes into any of these females. He is sure on one thing, the very moment he decides to have an heir, he would let the one right woman to have his child in her womb. She would be the only one to carry his bloodline limit into his child, she would be the only one mother to his children, she is the only woman he would choose to revive his clan with, or say, she was actually the chosen one for him. He wont bother to get her married to him, regardless of marital bond or feelings, no matter where she is he would find her and he would make that woman his by all means. Since getting a woman pregnant is a simple process which is surprisingly electrifying and pleasurable to him, he has no qualms to do it. Sasuke will take her by force if it requires him to do so. And.. he knows who she is, sadly.. that woman herself wasn't aware of that fact.


~~~~presently at Oto's border~~~~

It has been 1 week since they started their journey from one of the snake sannin's hideouts in Otogakure. They were now travelling across the northern border of Otogakure. Somewhere around the area, Sasuke stopped by a small village formed by a group of people living there. From her understanding, he is gathering wonderers and homeless people, giving a home to them under his custody. Hinata wasn't clear of his motive, but she was delighted to know that Sasuke was helping the helpless. At least he wasn't totally heartless.

Beads of rain hits her pale white skin as she worked, pulling the weeds at the garden. She wiped the layers of sweat generated from working under a shiny morning, it was now early afternoon. Clouds in the sky started to darken floating with a silver lining as the soaring wind floated her indigo blue hair and white skirt off. For a ghostly and non-inhabited village such as the Sound, there was a beautiful sunflower garden that stretched on the reddish soil as far as her white eyes could see. Sunflowers are bright yellowish, circular flowers that reflects the sun in its own form, its huge, fiery blooms, whose shape and image that depicts the sun.

She marveled how tall they were, growing nearly 12 feet tall towards the heavens determined to reach the life-giving rays of the sun. Each of the flowers blossoms beautifully reflecting the shining smiles of the sun, whenever she sees them her heart warms up. She couldn't help but to remember a certain smile that swept her heart away.. a flashy smile that belonged to a certain Orange-fetish, loud-mouthed, obnoxious, knuckle-headed ninja that brought life to her. She giggled contemplating how much alike the yellowish petals of these flowers closely resembles his spiky blonde hair.

She couldn't think of any other flower that adores the legendary fiery gem of the sky this much, she felt warm and happy just to stand there and watch these flowers sway under the currents of the wind. She stopped her stray hat that rested on her head be swept away by the wind. Little droplet of rain started to work their way down to the earth. She eyed the sky and thought of getting to go. She smiled sadly that she had to leave this field so early, besides she is the only one there.. Karin-san had to help in the stables with Juugo-san and Suigetsu-san is with the farmers over the other side of the field helping them on harvesting the carrots and other vegetables. She didn't know the location or whereabouts of Sasuke, she only knew that he was helping the villagers to build houses. Hinata's mission was to clear the weeds on this flower field to which she obliged very much gladly.

Even though she was a ninja, and a wondering one, she also had to earn her living here. The Hyuuga sighed and smiled broadly that she had accomplished the task given to her. She slowed the lump that lodged itself, she touched her throat cringing her face. It was paining. Her dry throat was aching for a drink of fresh water.

"Oi.. Hinata? Is the work still on going?" a masculine yet lean voice came from her back.

She turned to see Suigetsu over her shoulders, and smiled brightly, "No.. I just finished it Suigetsu-san..".

He smirked and said triumphantly, "haha, great! Then lets go to the house together! C'mon!".

She smiled and nodded, as she walked together with the fish-man, he brought a bottle and tapped it to her cheek, Hinata nearly jumped but she smiled again, "here! Drink some water and cool yourself off..".

Taking the bottle she bowed slightly thanking him, "thank you Suigetsu-san.. its very kind of you..".

He snorted and said, "no need to be formal with me missy.. I am comfortable with you being casual as possible.".

Hinata blushed and nodded silently. They talked as they walked to the small living area. Suigetsu-san was the first one out of the 4 to talk to her, she was happy to learn that she found someone to gladly talk to. Juugo-san was polite, very calm and quite despite the rumor Suigetsu-san had spread to that he is the most dangerous creature when it comes to anger, that he has some anger management issues. She couldn't believe that such peaceful person has that violent side, but she knew better to read beyond a person's epidermal. Karin-san was the only female she could rely to talk, but she couldn't get close to her just as a simple friend. Every time she approaches the red haired kunoichi acts the similar way as the Uchiha, all she does is glare, glare and glare at her. Hinata felt it was better to leave the kunoichi be than bugging her by being with her. All she ever spoke to Karin is to thank her since the red haired kunoichi had healed Hinata.

Uchiha-san on the other hand was a shadowy person, too much darkness envelops the aura around him that he could simply fade in the shadows. She tried approaching him for a talk, but she couldn't even manage to say a thank you. He was so cold, that just his piercing glare could make her shrink. He can just look at her and without uttering a word, she would know that she had to shut up. She wondered how Naruto-kun survived with him. She really pitied Sakura-chan now that she knew Uchiha-san. He had made it clear that he hated her voice, her stuttering and she cant even smile or laugh at the expense of Suigetsu-san's jokes whenever Uchiha-san is around. She wondered how she was going to bring herself to thank him, let alone persuade him to come to Konoha.

The girl sighed and helped Kaori-baachan, one of the 213 people of this village. Kaori-baachan was the person that let us stay in her small house. The lady was kind and generous. Hinata felt a little light to be around the old woman.

"is there something bothering you dear?" Kaori asked.

Hinata was preparing the dishes for lunch for 5 of them, "No.. Kaori-sama.. I am fine.".

Kaori smiled kindly and said, "well then, if you say so.. but, if you wished to talk, I wouldn't mind listening to you..".

Hinata smiled politely and nodded thanking the woman, "certainly, Kaori-sama.. thank you.".

"(sniff) (sniff).. woahhh! Something smells delicious in here! Is that lunch Hinata-chan?" Suigetsu asked as he came with Karin and Juugo in tow.

Karin whacked the white haired fish on his back, the man turned into water as the kunoichi's fist plunged into his ribs. Even though he was caught off guard he still sustained from the attack.

"what was that for?" Suigetsu questioned irritated that this woman still has the guts to hit him.

"shut up, you're irritating." Is it him or did he just sensed jealousy in her?

Smirking to himself the white haired nin retorted, "feh, just get on with it Karin, you're just jealous that she could cook and you cant! Ahaha!".

Juugo finally had to step in and stop a very agitated Uzumaki female from killing her white haired ex-boyfriend. Juugo said calmly, "stop.. we're in a civilian's custody, its rude to start a fight in her abode..".

Hinata smiled and ushered them to the dining room, the food has already been prepared, the Hyuuga searched for a certain raven haired S rank nin, Juugo said to her noticing her search, "Sasuke isn't with us.. but he'll be on his way.".

Hinata blushed and nodded, "oh, thank you Juugo-san.. please come and join us..".

The burnt orange haired nin smiled at the polite lady and said, "sure..".

Once they started helping themselves with the food Hinata still waited for the Uchiha who still hasn't showed up. Kaori was sitting next to her and Karin on the other side, Juugo was sitting next to Suigetsu who in front of her. Smiled looking at the comical face the white haired fish man had pulled, smelling the food, his purple orbs shimmered in a very puppy-like way, drools reached down to his chin and the scary part of it was his lips that grinned in a very deadly way, accompanied by his sharp teeth.

"I love to cut food too! Tadakimasu!" he chirped and chomped the beef meat.

She giggled at his at antiques oblivious of the looks Karin has been giving to her.

Hinata nearly jumped when she heard a sharp, deep and cold voice muttered quietly, "Itadakimasu.".

She whipped her head to the other side, at the person who sat at the other edge of the table beside Kaori-baachan. Karin's glare only intensified as she watched Hinata's delighted face when Sasuke was there, then only the Hyuuga did touch her food. It was always like this on every breakfast, lunch and dinner. For the past one week, this woman waited for Sasuke, if he was there ready to eat then only Hinata will touch her food. Honestly, what is she trying to pull? Did she really think by pulling that act, Sasuke might actually favor her? Karin was keeping a close watch at the Hyuuga throughout the lunch. She was relieved to learn that Sasuke hated this peasant too, much to her content, this woman is a weakling and she is very quite.

When she found out that Sasuke had brought her back after saving her life, she was furious. She planned on having Sasuke to herself and another woman pops out. This kept her getting annoyed, but this woman wasn't capable of pulling what other bitches who claimed to be confident about them did. This Hyuuga weakling is too pure and innocent to force Sasuke on a one night stand. Despite having such curvaceous figure, this woman opted to wear something that's overly large hiding vainly her grown boobs. That Hyuuga is already plain, but why would she wear something so out of fashion? Looking like that she wont even get a man, let alone date one. Pathetic. May be that could be served as her disadvantage.

Karin disgusted the very presence of this woman. She hated her to the core. She regretted having to save this woman only to sacrifice this scapegoat to Orochimaru later. But, when she saw how earnestly the woman thanked her for that, she somehow felt light. No one actually appreciated for what Karin did, and this Hyuuga appreciated her, honestly Karin was a little affected by this. Other than that, she hated to feel her as a rival to get Sasuke. She began to hate how this incompetent woman managed to get Suigetsu close to her surprisingly Juugo was on this woman's side too. The only fact that relieved Karin was, Sasuke still prefers to be with her, occasionally. She was satisfied that she could appease the Uchiha and could please him with her body.

"thanks for the delicious food Hinata-san.." Juugo said snapping Karin out of her muse.

Karin knew Juugo sensed the malicious glares she had been sending in the direction of the Hyuuga, Karin shrugged and rolled eyes, the woman got up and walked out of the dining room behind Sasuke not bothering to thank even Kaori-baachan.

Hinata blushed and nodded, she said timidly minding that Sasuke was now out of ear shot, "it is my pleasure, Juugo-san..".

Suigetsu gave her thumbs up and said, "no need to feel shy around us, your cooking is awesome! The stuck up Uchiha and reddish slut isn't around anymore Hinata-chan, loosen up..".

Suigetsu snapped his head up when he heard someone clear their throat, only to meet two reddish eyes glaring daggers at him, he cocked a brow clearly showing that he wasn't interested.

Karin stood at the doorway and said, "Kaori-baachan.. we would like to leave this place for good, our journey would be on tomorrow dawn, Taka team, Hyuuga, get ready by early morning we're leaving before sunrise. Sasuke's orders.".

With that the red head dint even bother to receive their reply, she just snapped her head away and walked out of the room.


~by evening~

"You look lovely Hinata-chan.." Kaori said to the Hyuuga.

Hinata bowed her head hiding her flushed face, she smiled, "th-thank you Kaori-sama..".

"its my pleasure Hinata-chan.. lets go.. we cant be late." Kaori said.

The white haired nin and his friend and team mate Juugo watched silently as the two woman walked their way out of the cottage. Heading deep in to the forest that was darkening in the course of night, birds flew in groups on the blissful plum colored sky, the sun was just setting behind the mountains.

Juugo eyed his team mate with suspicion in his eyes, the way Suigetsu watching the Hyuuga go was just as the way he sometimes looks at Karin, affectionate.. and longing were present under those purplish hues.

"keep your feelings to yourself, Suigetsu." Juugo's calm, detained voice erupted beneath the pregnant silence in the house.

"What?" Suigetsu turned to Juugo with surprise as he lit his voice in confusion.

Juugo was the one with better judgment in his actions, he was smart and he even outwits Suigetsu. Who was he fooling around with?

Embarrassment was evident a light pinkish blush dusted over his face, his voice faltered his denial, "N-NO! D-did you think I.. Hinata? M-me? No!".

Juugo stared at Suigetsu seriously, it made the white haired nin jump and averted his gaze, the fish-like nin rubbed the back of his head, "w-well.. uhh, m-maybe a little..".

Juugo turned stare ahead blankly and noticed the two figure vanish behind the forest, "The Hyuuga is about to be sacrificed for the succession of our plans.. we don't need your feelings and actions towards her obliterate the chances of us getting Orochimaru.".

Suigetsu sighed dejectedly, and nodded more to him. He knows the fate that would be about to happen to the Hyuuga that had slightly irked his interests towards her. He should've known better, to listen to whatever Juugo was telling him. What would be Sasuke's next objective when he gets to Orochimaru? What would of the team? Sigh.. he should be wondering about himself should he?

Purplish eyes stole a glance over at the burnt orange haired nin beside him, Suigetsu said quietly after few moments of silent contemplation, "Hn.. I get it.".
