CHAPTER 3
Hinata excelled a deep breath she didn't even know she was holding. The "cries" were getting louder, that means we are getting closer, she sighed wiping her forehead from the perspiration that was forming. She turned to Alexander, who was once beside her, but retreated back into his haven , until the rise to call him forth again was needed.
"Hold on just a little bit more…"she heard him whisper.
"Hm" she smiled. She knew very little about Alexander-sama. All he ever told her was he was a summon with the power of HOLY. He told her a brief history of what Aeons were and what she was. She couldn't help wonder where all this was leading to. She couldn't go back to living the life of a normal weak kouichi. Xan-san had taught her so much. It would look weird if she suddenly showed her friends and teammates her sudden new found power. It was then she wondered how her new life was gonna be, will she stay this weak timid girl forever hiding her strength from her family and friends. She'll figure it out later. She stifled a yawn. Her body was dragging, she felt she was going at it at slow motion and it was getting a little dark now. So that made matters worst they were press for time.
It wouldn't hurt to call out a little spell she thought, Xan-san said it was okay once in a while and they really needed to move faster.
"Haste" she whispered, calling forth a light pink aura that surrounded her. She felt her body quickening her steps becoming faster. So this is the power of white magic she mused. Gaining enough speed to hurrying towards her onset path.
*******************************************************************************
Hinata finally spot a clearing above the tree tops, down below was a vast large shimmering blue-green lake. The cries she heard where now intensified.
"It's coming from down there." she heard Alexander-sama say nonchalant, catching his crystal blue-gray eyes staring at her
She nodded.
Gently descending to the ground, she quickly retracted the haste spell, moving close to the waters of surface. Standing at the edge, she slowly placed a good amount of chakra to her limbs and toes.
"Here goes nothing" she whispered to herself.
She took one tentatively step on the surface, watching in fascination as the ripples seemed to slow with time or could it be that haste was still in effect. She shook her head and excelled a deep breath, the cries seemed to call her profusely towards the deep center of the vast lake. She felt her body pulsing her reflexes twitching, her mind expanding to old ancient phrases, racing through her mind and body like before. An immense aura guiding her towards the unknown.
She was frightened.
Xan-san did not approach her like this before, he was calm and collected.
What kind of summon was she dealing with., she wondered
"Xan'san," she called nervously.
"Unfortunately I can't help you with this part Hime. You have to make the pact with him, not me. Remember he is just another summon, just as I. Believe in yourself, if he is calling to you then he alone is waiting for you." His strong voice encouraged her.
"Hai…" she breathlessly whispered closing her delicate eyes
Opening her mind to the flood gates of the intense spells and phrases of the unknown magic. Focusing on her surroundings letting her chakra become a beckon to the lost creature. She could feel her body's warmthness, a small high from the magic, like an intoxication of a drug that streamed throughout her body. The cries subsided, turning to what appeared to be singing of some sort. It became a beautiful song. It excited her now and she wanted more.
"That's it," Alexander whispered she heard him say in her mind. "Concentrate." before she was taken away from the burning sensations and emotions she was feeling.
He watched her as she went into a trance mode. He lied. He could easily helped her, but he chose to stay behind. She needs to learn this on her own, he thought, besides I cannot risk her being attacked while she is in such a state. I hope you greet her kindly LEVI he smiled recalling this aura that surrounded them both.
He continued to eye the girl from a near distance.
Tiny flickers of white and blue light shimmered and sparkled engulfing her, swaying to the flow of her body chakra and magic. A sudden of sense of peace flooded her torso.
She did not realize that her soul-her spirit- was being pulled to the pits of the deep dark basin.
Freeing her eyes, she peeked above her only to see her motionless body standing still on the surface of the lake. A small barrier of magic, surrounding her as the flicker of lights and sparks of different shades of color danced around her. Eyes widening she realized she was separating her mind form her body.
"No…what's going on… Xan-san!" she motioned to cry, but could not let the words come out.
Feeling very much alone, she continued her descent towards the bottom, her soul appearing transparent.
What is happening? I'm losing myself, am I going to disappear? She panicked and apprehension overwhelmed her..
"Xan-san…I need you…" she cried inwardly, curling up into a fetus position.
He did not respond.
Holding a sob, and closing her eyes, she was about to succumb to her fate.
Until….she heard a voice.
***************************************************************************
BACK IN KONOHA VILLAGE
"WELCOME BACK TEME!" a blue eyed, blond hair young man happily extended his hand motioning to the village the raven headed boy knew sometime ago. It seemed a party was called in order to celebrate an old returning power. The sole savior of the Uchiha Clan. It was head outside before the Hokage;s main office.
"Hnh" was all he could muster. He was battered and covered with bruises, wounds, and cuts, after his fight with the dope. Naruto was just as equally the same.
Ignoring the crowd that had gathered around him he never felt so smothered. People from Team Guy, Team Asuma, Team Kurenai, were all there dancing and partying. Hell even the Hokage herself was there.
He eyed the coming night sky that was soon approaching. Naruto who had once stood beside him was off talking to others proudly about his journey and how he retrieved the GREAT UCHIHA .
This angered him Naruto knew full well he came back willingly.
As he heard everyone make a fuss about him and welcoming him back he felt sick to his stomach how they could easily forget his sins and his disloyalty.
It was then he heard a soft voice. "Sasuke we really did miss you," turning around a pink haired kouichi hugged him.
"Sakura" he whispered.
"Hai, let me heal your wounds just as I did to Naruto." she smiled.
Taken aback he hastily pushed her back and excused himself, leaving her to clutch empty air.
"Even though you came back… Sasuke you still reject me so?": she cried silently as she headed towards Naruto who was talking to Kiba and Sai
Sasuke, himself was about to head inside a nearby parlor, until he bumped into stormy-white eyes.
Neji Hyuga.
The long haired white eyed young man simply congratulated him on his return and politely excused himself fast, not wanting to make a conversation with him.
He eyed the Hyuga walk towards Kiba franticly ,asking questions which upset Inuzuka and made Naruto worry. And the newcomer Sai, expressionless.
'Huh" he scoffed, looking towards the sky once more.
*******************************************************************************
"WHY ARE YOU FRIGHTENED, OPEN YOUR EYES LITTLE ONE." it called softly sounding like a bubbling brook against the stones of the bottom.
Hinata un-squeezed her eyes and gasped.
She was in a dream sequence… before her stood a young man about like the same age as Alexander-sama maybe older with calm-serene amethyst eyes staring back at her pearly-opal ones. His hair was a shade of light turquoise, pale in fact and his attire was that of silver and light baby-blue which shimmered in the light. He reached out and hugged her, immediately her body felt a shift in power and she knew right then she bonded with him as he bonded with her. Bubbles… light crystal clear bubbles floated around them as they departed their embrace. Did she just make the pact already she smiled and to think she was frightened to begin with.
She was just as surprised at her surroundings It was just like her dream with Xan-san. Instead they appeared to be at a sunny beach where the waves crashed softly and aggressively on the shore. The sky shimmering a happy medium of blue with bright sunshine pouring down above them. She did not hesitate to squint up to the sky as she saw from afar birds flying.
He began to speak once more, catching her undivided attention.
"I AM CALLED LEVIATHAN."YOU HAVE NO REASON TO FEAR ME, I WILL HELP AND GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMING A SUMMONER. I AM GUARDIAN AND LORD OF ALL WATERS. EXECUTIONER OF TIDAL WAVE, THAT IS WHAT I AM, PRINCESS HIANTA." he ended in a soft voice filled with honor.
She did not know what to say, until she blurted out, "I heard you calling out to me" she smile sheepish.
"Hai that I did, but that was because I felt the presence of another summon with you his aura was very strong, yet he was very stealthy about hiding his whereabouts."
"You mean Xan-san" she inquired.
"No, it was a different aura then that of the HOLY KNIGHT." he smiled.
"Oh, but Xan-san would have-" she was interrupted by a voice calling out to her.
"Hina-hime you did it see I told you so. Hello, Levi it's been awhile. Why don't you send our princess back up here okay." he motioned through all sparkling lights, and swirls.
Hinata blushed, "What, bu-but he-he said he couldn't interfere that liar." she huffed.
Leviathan chuckled. "He most know something you don't know" he winked
"Of all the nerve." Hinata smiled feeling her transparent self returning to her body, followed by a glowing bluelight which was Levithan.
"Welcome back" The holy summoned greeted them.
********************************************************************************
Ashen-diamond stone eyes observed the coming night. His light silver pallid hair swayed with a night breeze. He scoffed, while lifting a slender finger to tuck one of his strands of hair behind his ear. Almost inaudibly he whispered a chant that he knew by memory.
"Someone is collecting Aeons," he smirked, as a rush of bright lights surrounded behind him. Emerging from all that magic stood a figure, that was lean and fit.
" Do you want to stop them now?" the dark figure whispered bowing low to his master.
"No Neo, Let's see how far they will go , after all it is a blood relative…." he smirked, " It is another Hyuga."
