CHAPTER 2
4 Months Later....
"Ne Ne HINATA-CHAN… HINATA-CHAN" a loud boisterous shout was heard "HINATA-CHAN"
"Over here." a sweet feminine voice called out, fingertips playing with a single blade of grass.
A wild boy with unruly brown hair and red marks on his face, made his way to a small clearing on what appeared to be a training ground. He was searching for his friend to tell her some news he heard or rather saw.
"HINATA-CHAN, THERE YOU ARE I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU!" the boy replied all while trying to catch a butterfly.
"Mou Kiba-kun… not so loud ne you know I am not deaf." the young kunoichi smiled, looking up at her team mate from the ground. Peering down, the wild boy beamed a huge grin at his sisterly comrade. "Well Hina-chan if you weren't so quiet. I would have found you in no time." he smirked while giving up on the butterfly seeing as it fled from his grasp to Hinata's finger tip.
"Hn," she replied solemnly. The butterfly pausing to rest on her finger tip till it fled to the forest grounds.
Inuzuka dismissing his friend's response quickly and went on, "Hinata-chan what are you doing here still. Training session ended a long time and Kurenai-sensei released us already."
"I know...but..."
"But what?" he retorted fast, wiping his nose.
"I-I like looking at the sky." she whispered forlorn, remembering all at once her dreams, yes, her dreams. For the past few weeks she had been diving into another reality with a mysterious young man whom she came to be fond of, learning new spells, moves, and so much more.
Inuzuka noticed her quietness and took it as his turn to reinitiate the conversation.
"WHAT?! What is so good about looking at the sky? It always stays blue... until bad weather comes along. Anyways, I remembered something I wanted to tell you earlier, Guess what?" his eyes gleamed like it was full of knowledge.
"Iiee, Kiba-kun, I hate guessing games" the heiress cried as she turned to her side giving her back to her comrade, leaving him in surprise.
Blinking once and then twice, Kiba voiced out his excitement, "Hinata-chan, Naruto-san is finally back and he is not alone they say the Uchiha-teme willingly came back with him."
She quickly turned to her friend, eyeing him to see if what he spoke of was the truth. She saw no lies in his eyes. Naruto-kun she thought how I missed you so. I wondered if he is alright. Tsunade-sama had sent him on a mission to find the Uchiha-san. He was gone for quite awhile, I thought he may not ever come back. I have to see him, to see him to welcome him back. She immediately picked herself up and brushed off her hands on her training garments, shaking any dust off of her.
"I see that got your attention fast. Hina-chan" He smirked.
Oh, Hush up," she laughed, adding her thanks and goodbyes at the same time leaving Kiba alone to contemplate his friend's off behavior before he decided to look for Shino and Akamaru.
The Hyuuga heiress was rushing as fast as she could towards Tsunade-sama's main office. High above the tree tops, she jumped from branch to branch admiring the view. She even managed to do some flips and twirls as she landed with precise footing on each tree limb.
"Careful you'll break an arm or leg the rate you're going". A soft chuckled followed in her mind.
"Ano… Xan-kun, that's way I have you." she smiled as she purposely lost her footing plummeting a few hundred feet.
Hinata looked to the sky, dark indigo hair flying around her face; she reached out her arm to touch the sky. Absentmindedly, her heart called upon a familiar chant from memory. Eyes shining, body falling, a genuine smile appeared on her face, as a warm lean body looked down at her taking her hand gently in his, pulling her into an embrace, his hair catching the sun rays, highlighting his locks making him appear angelic. His visage making its way close to her own.
Déjà vu all over again. She smiled.
"Why should I help someone, when their motives for rushing are not even pure." he teased in her ear.
"Xan-san" Hinata chide softly as she blushed, ignoring the white guardian's comment. Looking into his eyes she saw a gentle tease among them. Initiating the movement, he twirled their bodies as one, spinning them around as they neared descending ground. It was beautiful, leaves falling, sunlight sparkling, and all Hinata could feel was Alexander's warm embrace and the air rushing around them.
As the two bodies reached near ground, huge angelic wings sprouted out from the males back and gently guided the two to the ground.
"Testing me, aren't we Hime." he grinned, as white wings dispersed into tiny lights around them.
"Iie, I just wanted to feel the wind around me." She smiled, while twirling once more just to feel her long indigo-black hair circling around her. Her simple movements seemed all too familiar, like a dance from so long ago. Stretching her arms about her, she moved them to a rhythm of her own. It was then she felt a strong powerful pulse from the air around her… maybe….
Stopping in her tracks, she pouted.
"Ano.. Xan-san do you feel…" she called quietly, turning towards her summon.
He nodded. "Hinata…" he said sternly, "I feel another presence among us, another Aeon. We need to locate it and acquire it before it slips away."
"Hai… I feel it. It's actually calling out to me." She closed her eyes lifting her head, almost feeling her surroundings. "He's lonely this one, crying out to be free."
Alexander smirked. It's been only a couple of months and she was catching on fast. He was actually glad that he had her as his summoner. She memorized spells and chants like it was natural to her. And with the addition of her Byakugan, it seemed to give him an additional plus of strength, since his magic and power was only as strong as his host's will. Which made him contemplate, will her blood limit allow him or any other summons to use their true natural form? Will she be able to have enough power and inner strength to call upon, when the time comes to face their true enemy? He could only hope so. In the meantime, he would continually train her in secret. He would not waste anymore time. He would make her strong. He had to make her strong. What will hurt him the most was he was going to have to have to change her. After all she was too soft hearted in nature and to dame shy, but then again that was what he liked about her. Unlike in the past, he had heard about other's that treated their summons like dogs, exploiting their power for their own selfish gain. He knew Hinata was not like that, she was this shy, timid normal girl that noticed the world, but the world took no notice of her.
He remembered his previous summoner, she was a beautiful woman, who was kind, gentle, caring, and her downfall was falling in love with a man of arrogance. It was then his heart grew cold and he locked himself away in a deep slumber. He knew he was being selfish, that they could not have an intimate relationship in the first place. Even so that did not stop the feelings he still had for her. It was strictly forbidden, Aeons and Humans can't love each other. It was only then when he couldn't sense her anymore he grew worried. He released himself from his slumber, only to find she had passed on and left a surprised in his wake. But, did she make it to the farplane he wondered, someone had to send her right? He couldn't feel her presence anymore. He glanced at his summoner. Just awhile ago he noticed his princess moving to the ancient Dance of the Sending. He scoffed, remembering once more his previous summoner, dancing the Sending to those near dying, her sorrow, and her tears staining her beautiful face. He knew when the time comes to tell Hinata, she will come to loathe that dance, but then again that was the role of a white summoner.
He looked at Hinata, she was still feeling her surroundings, her pretty face, flustered as she still tried to lock on the direction the Aeon was calling out to her. He half smiled. He would make sure he would not make the same mistake again. He would make sure destiny will reach its destination. After all he had a princess to save.
"Aa you better hurry up and locate him or you'll miss your precious Naruto" .he added surprised at his words, watching a startled, blushing Hinata.
"I…I… Hai..." She ended concentrating again. Only this time around she turned towards a direction. "Xan-san he's this way," jumping up once more to the tree tops.
He sighed. He felt it too her instincts were getting better. It took her a while, but like he thought before she was a fast learner.
He only had a couple of weeks till the ceremony of the pillaged of Light.
He wondered if Hinata knew of her Clan's traditions, if not he would make sure she was ready for it. Then and only then he would reveal his true motive to her, then maybe just maybe he will be at peace.
He soon took off, following Hinata-hime's pusuit.
Authors note: Windlight
Hello me again, I know short chapter but there is more to come.
Just typing some final fantasy facts. I will be taking bits of info from several FF, but I will let you know where I take it from.
Aeon- its what Final Fantasy X calls theirs their summons. It's like their races title.
Farplane- Again from Final Fantasy X, it's where the dead rest when they pass away.
The Sending- FF X, Yuna dances this dance whenever a love one days, or anyone in general dies to send them at peace, with no ill will to those of the living. There is a CG of it in FFX when Tidus first finds out why she dances this dance.
Summon:
Guardian Alexander: HE appeared in FF7, FF8 and FF9 as the summon who protected the kingdom of Alexandira from Kuja and bahamuts flare. His attribute is HOLY and his saying is Holy Judgement. Oh and Hinata's nickname for him is Xan-san
I know I haven't mentioned Sasuke yet but be patient he will appear as will other summons. I just have to develop Hinata;s character first before I jump into her love life. Ok, so if ya'll can review and tell me ideas of what to put or what I should take out. Thanks By the way I do not own Naruto so don't sue. And I don't own Final Fantasy either. It belongs to Square Enix.
