The Power Within
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: No, I still don't own Naruto. ; )
"What?", Sakura said in a quavering voice. "Hinata, you and I both know I wouldn't kill people,
more or less let others control me." Sakura giggled trying to lighten the mood in the room.
"Don't you remember what happened to the last person who tried that?"Hinata giggled also at
the humorous memory, but doubt was still shining in her eyes, and she was still slightly
trembling. "Come on Hinata, let's go get some ice cream and watch a movie. I doubt that either
of us could sleep right now. She got up off the bed, and helped Hinata climb off as well. The
girls headed to the kitchen, and starting raiding the fridge for stuff to make sundaes with. When
they had finished making sundaes they walked into the living room, so that Hinata could pick a
movie. Sakura sat her food on the end table, and went and grabbed their pillows and blankets
from their rooms. She came and threw them on the living room floor in front of the large tv.
Hinata giggled as she sat down on her blanket. "We used to watch movies like this with the rest
of the girls when we were younger." Hinata said. "We should throw another sleep over, just for
old times sake. What do you think Sakura?" Sakura grinned at her. "Sounds like fun Hinata,
we can call them about it tomorrow. Sakura sat on her pallet with her food, and tried to focus on
the movie, and not to let her worry show. No matter what she told Hinata, she knew she was
weird, or different from most people, even Hinata. Hinata herself wasn't normal by any
standards. She was also a strong physic, and often caught glimpses of the future or past in the
form of dreams. Of course, only Sakura and a handful of others knew that. Hinata's greatest
wish had always been to be normal, but she had accepted the fact that she wasn't a long time ago. She had finally gotten tired of dealing with her parents and their fancy psychiatrists, so she
left home, and moved in with Sakura when she was fourteen. Over the past few years, she had
come to control her powers and abilities, but she still couldn't stop the visions from coming.
Hinata had seen more in her seventeen years of life, than most people should see in a lifetime.
She had been gifted with wonderful abilities, that often seemed to be more of a curse than
anything else. The sweet girl had difficulty dealing with the visions, but she refused to let it
show to anyone around her but Sakura. Sakura was her safety net, just as she was Sakura's, they
protected each other from themselves.
