Thoughts

'Speech'

Unnoticed No more

Hyuuga Hinata ran through the doors, of course not after receiving a few comments that just sank her confidence and spirits lower, from the already deteriorating day, In the beginning of the day, she went to see Naruto-kun, or really to spy, she saw him ask Sakura out again, and it had hurt her greatly, why couldn't he notice her? Why was she so great? Was it because of the rare colour of her hair? Or was it because she was respected by being the Godaime's apprentice? Her day had then deteriorated further when she found out her father wanted to she her spar against Hanabi, she had been on the floor before Hanabi had even broken a sweat, and then she had trained with her team mates, they had left her out. She just couldn't help it, she slammed the sliding door to her room, and even then she couldn't ignore the whispers

'How disgraceful'

'I wonder what Hiashi-sama will do with her'

'She shouldn't have been born first'

'If she had been born second Hiashi-sama would've no doubt already placed the cursed seal on her'

Hinata angrily wiped her tears, what do they know? She quickly jumped out of her window and ran, not caring where she went by the time the realize I went missing I would've already slipped back in She ran, not knowing where she was going, she then bumped into someone.

'S-Su-mein-as-ai, G-G-ome-n'

She stuttered, her eyes widened and she stood in fear when she realized whom she bumped into. Her day kept getting worse and worse.

Sasuke was about to curse whoever bumped into him when he noticed whom he bumped into. Che no point in wasting my breath, can't believe she was spying on dobe He ignored her, thinking that she would leave, he practiced a few jutsus and when he realized she wasn't moving he turned to her, his eyes full of anger
Hinata watched Sasuke practice, he was good, even though her had betrayed Kohona he had been forgiven, he was now one of the best ANBUs in the village, and his popularity with girls hadn't decreased, if anything it had increased. Hinata watched as he performed another jutsu, and an idea came to her head, she was about to speak when Sasuke turned his head, eyes full of anger but Hinata took no notice and for the first time in years her eyes were full of general confidence, not encouraged by anyone but by herself and she didn't stutter, with a voice she had heard her father use many times with confidence, she spoke, proving that through her exterior, she was indeed her father's child, so before Sasuke could say anything she spoke first

'Train me.'

Hinata worked relentlessly and she panted, her Byakugan was weakening due to her lack of Chakra, she was sparring with Sasuke for the seventeenth time this week, she had yet to defeat him. But she was gaining more confidence, she didn't stutter as much around others, an even though she stuttered when she talked, everyone noticed that her tone was no longer shy, but she spoke with a tone of commandment and confidence under the shy, soft tone and she never stuttered when she talked to Sasuke alone, in him she felt as if she was able to draw out strength and confidence, She found someone who was equally as lonely as she was.
Sasuke panted, she was getting better, a month ago she had asked him to train her, she had surprised him by what she said and he saw that she was willing to give everything, he had taught her a few jutsus and sparred countlessly with her.In her, he had found a friend and someone who had understood him, but what he was surprised was what he really felt under his mask, he would feel angry every time she blushed around Naruto, how'd he feel sad when she laugh with her other friends, how'd he feel a rise in his chest when she smiled at him he just couldn't place why, after all he still needed to avenge his clan. But still, he knew what his feeling was, but it didn't matter, the one thing he wanted to have was what dobe had. It was't fair
Hinata closed her eyes and controlled her self, she knew she now had the confidence but she wanted to take them by surprise

'A-An-o, ca—n- y-y-o-ou re-epe-at that?

The elders glared down at her

'We are replacing you with Hanabi, in a week you will be placed in the branch house'

Hnata felt rage burn inside her, how dare they deprive her of her birth right! She looked up.

'A-a-nd if – re-fuse?'

The elders, and her father and her sister Hanabi, all glared at her

'You will obey, but since you want to try to defy us, we will give you a chance, tomorrow you shall fight with Hanabi, If you lose you will obey us.

Hinata tilted her head

'If I win?'

The elders smirked, no one in the clan acknowledged Hinata, they fell into Hinata's trap and underestimated her.

'You may have full control of the Hyuuga clan, without us elders'

Inwardly, Hinata smirked

'Hai'

Sasuke panted. Hard. Damn, she was getting better, she had told him about the challenge, he had automatically taken her to the training fields, they were perfecting her Jyuuken and her Jutsus, they both knew her Byakugan didn't need any perfection, he just hoped that she wouldn't bear the seal on her forehead, It would kill him if he saw it on her, He couldn't let her lose.
Hinata checked her weapons one more time, in less than half an hour about the whole village would be at the fields, seeing what the fate of the Hyuuga would be, she had hear of bets, the odds were pretty unfair and she inwardly smirked, Sasuke had betted on her winning, which other were surprised at, he was going to gain a lot of money, Speaking of Sasuke reminded her, she had made a decision,she was no longer the shy Hinata, she was going totell him.She had been so stupid, there had always been someone better. Always, where Naruto just ignored her. A branch member stepped in

'Hinata, it's time'

Hinata frowned, already they were thinking she was going to lose and not calling her by her birth right, she sighed, she'd have to fix that. She walked to the fields where the, as expected there were a lot of people. She walked up, facing her sister.

'Well, Hinata, are you prepared to lose?'

Hinata smirked, surprising everyone, she knew she didn't have to be that shy girl anymore, she was someone else, someone Sasuke had pulled out of the seemingly empty shell.

'I think it's the other way around, Hanabi, I'm going to secure my birthright once and for all and show you and myworthless clan member's right where their spot is.'

Everyone was speechless at her, but she didn't mind, she looked around, she found the certain raven-haired person and smiled, she felt that butterfly feeling come, but she no longer blushed nor stutter, the referee, which happened to be Genma started. She immediately rushed forward and started with the familiar jutsu she had longed known how to use to counter Sasuke's favourite jutsu, she quickly shouted

'Daibakufu no Jutsu! (Grand Waterfall Technique)'

Hinata screamed, everyone was surprised because Hyuuga's almost never used jutsu but relied only on their Jyuuken for attack, quickly sensing Hanabi's surprise she activated her Byakugan and quickly started with her attack, she started sealing Hanabi's Chakra holes, after a few times Hanabi was able to dodge but she didn't understand what the hell? She didn't seal any Chakra points yet it hurts like hell. But there were still whispers among the Hyuuga's

'How disgraceful'

'I can tell why Hiashi-sama wants her in the branch family'

'Yes, she can't even properly use the Byakugan properly, it can't even show her Chakra points, if she leads, that wr-'

Before they could say anything else Hinata activated their cursed seals, shocking everyone further that'll show them

Meanwhile, Hanabi watched in awe, her sister had just activated the cursed seal on three branch members, Her who were supposedly been the weakest in the clan, A wave of pain reminded her of the wounds, she still didn't understand so she lifted her top, and was surprised to see multiple red marks indicating that her Chakra points were indeed sealed but how? She couldn't have possibly hit that many times unless.. Realization dawned on her as she, as well as the rest of the clan turned to her, she remembered talking about this with her father

Flashback

'Tou –san, there are so many Chakra holes, why do there have to be so many to seal?'

A four year old Hanabi whined as she had just finished learning another technique of the Jyuuken, Hiashi looked down on her

'There is another way, Hanabi'

'Nani? Nani!'

An excited little girl asked

'They are called Tenketsus, only a few members of the Hyuuga ever are able to see them, Tenketsus are easier to seal because if they are closed, more Chakra holes are closed but they are much smaller so you need to be able to use your Byakugan even more, just like how it we try to rid our blind spots'

End Flashback

Hinata smirked

'Yes, dear sister, my Byakugan is able to see Tenketsus.'

Hanabi looked at all the red marks, it would take a lot of time and chakra to reopen the holes as her Byakugan was unable to see Tenketsus, so she could only do one thing , she quickly got into her stance and cried out

'Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand)'

She quickly tried to seal some of Hinata's chakra points, but Hinata quickly dodged them and retaliated by sealing a few more Tenketsus when she spotted an opening, Hanabi gritted her side in pain, she had thought in the beginning of the match that all odds would be in her way but Hinata had completely deceived both her and the clan, just how long had Hinata been keeping this act up? Was she like this when she first became a Genin No It couldn't be, Hanabi saw real fear in Hinata's eyes, there was no way she was acting, when had she become better? Hanabi couldn't find out but right now, she was pretty sure the odds were against her but she wanted to lead the clan, she didn't want the cursed seal, she had seen it's terror and all her life she had worked hard to impress her father, so perhaps her father wouldn't place the dreaded mark on her forehead, she didn't want it, and for the first time in years she realized…she feared it..

After a few hours both were exhausted and had been deprived of more chakra then they both would admit, but because of her Chakra points, Hanabi was at a disadvantage, during the times she had multiple Tenketsu's sealed, and she didn't have enough Chakra to open them while still on guard, she only had another option, she, she quickly sent out a few weapons, but she felt uneasy as she watched Hinata smirk

Just how many aces did she have?

Hinata smirked as she watched weapons race towards her, she span as she activated one of the most chakra depriving moves, Kaiten but with her Byakugan she could tell that everyone was awed, quickly she rushed to her sister and kicked her, Hanabi was good, she would admit but she was better she wouldn't need to use all her chakra, She heard mummers through the crowd and she frowned, she realized when 'Hanabi' poofed into thin air, quickly she activated her Byakugan.

Hanabi smirked, Hinata didn't know and was distracted, quickly she sent a kunai towards the Byakugan's blind spot, she smirked, but to her entire amazement Hinata caught it right where it was aimed for her, the blind pot, before she could realize what had happened she had been kicked out of the tree and sent flying towards the ground. She cursed, but before she knew it she had Shurikens pinning her to the ground and a kunai pointed at her neck.

Hinata smiled, she had won HER the so called weakest of the clan, she watched the elders shocked faces, she walked up to them

'I expect you to be gone by the end of tonight and moved into the branch house, ready for your personal ceremony into the branch house'

She said and watched their faces pale and try to reply

'Hinata-sama, demo-'

'And that is an order'

She ignored clan members trying to get back on her 'good side' she ignored Naruto who was asking her out, and she ignored her father who was telling her about all sorts of clan, she didn't want or need them, they wouldn't have hesitated to ignore her if she hadn't won, she looked for someone, she had thought that before the match if she had won she wanted to confess to him she noticed him in the crowd an walked towards him, he turned around and she saw a soft look in his eyes as she saw her, she smiled and ran up to him, knowing that she had found someone to be by her side, through the best, and the worst, He opened his arms and wrapped them around her, she knew others were watching, but she didn't give a damn. Slowly, their lips met. She was Unnoticed Nomore. And neither was he.

Author's Note

1. Originally this was going to be a NarHin but I came up with this was more interesting so yea,

2. When Hanabi lifted up her top she DID have a black tank top underneath for those disgusting perverts, aka coughtysoncough

3. I got tired so Byakugan means white eyes literally and Jyuuken means Gentle Fist

4. I'm sorry, this is very rushed
