Chapter Two

Dreams of Reality

Shisui narrowed his eyes as he glanced down at the fallen little girl, how could anyone be so heartless? He knew what was required of a ninja, but the thing was…

"She isn't dead." He relayed, a medical ninja rushed over as soon as the words died upon his lips. Pressing lightly onto her skin for a pulse, the medic frowned in confusion before hurriedly applying the soothing green chakra over the girl's cut.

Shisui however had already turned around, sharingan eyes scanning the room for any evidence or other survivors. He found none, only a forgotten blade obviously the weapon used.

If the bodies were anything to be judged by.

He narrowed his eyes and walked over to the medic who was currently checking the young girl over for any other wounds or genjutsu that he had missed.

"Enough, I've got her." He didn't know why, but Shisui didn't trust the silver haired healer. Maybe it was the way he was staring intently at her eyes, even though they were closed.

The thought opened another barricade, 'She's a main branch Hyuuga, she doesn't wear a seal!' she would be in constant danger anywhere at any foster home a family could provide.

Shisui knew all too well what would happen, if she was sent to a foster home. There were two highly possible outcomes.

One they would treat her better because of her linage and would be resented by the other foster children, and when she would be adopted (as he couldn't imagine anyone NOT wanting to adopt the sweet child.) they would only want her for her bloodline.

The second option made his eyes narrow, there were people who already resented (if not hated) the Hyuuga clan. Such an opportunity to unleash their pent up rage and frustrations on the small girl would be too tempting for those with bitter hate filled minds.

Both made Shisui sick, he knew that the young Hyuuga girl wasn't the only reason he knew those things too well. It could happen to Itachi as well had the need ever arise, however he didn't think it would be possible to get by the Uchiha gates.

However what made him pause in that line of thought was how the Hyuuga had, had even more clansmen then the Uchiha and were their rivals so to speak.

'Yet they were slaughtered like animals in only a day.'

"Shisui, why are you carrying a girl?" He blinked rapidly realizing only then that his musings had brought him to the hospital and young Sasuke was there.

Shisui paused knowing that if he told Sasuke Itachi would spell disaster out for him in the most brutal of ways.

"Her family had an incident Sasuke, that's all so if you'll excuse me…"

The young eight year old stepped in front of him a determined frown marring his usually happy childlike face.

"Can I help?" Shisui was confused, why would Sasuke (who detested girls rather greatly at this age) want to help?

"Don't wake her and then I'll let you help." The boy nodded and took on a more rigid posture as if guarding a secret treasure. Shisui had to smile at the antics of the young Uchiha, as most Uchiha children were never very optimistic.

"I need a room for the Hyuuga Heiress." Shisui stated to a nurse who in turn nodded quickly, whispering to the other nurses as she went. Sasuke frowned and tugged at Shisui's sleeve once they were in Hinata's hospital room.

"Yes Sasuke?"

"Their gossiping about Hinata." How did he know the girl's name? Shisui then mentally smacked himself; of course he would know they looked around the same age so they might be in the same class at the academy.

Said girl twitched and shot up violently a small scream escaping her, Shisui panicked and ran over to the girl; the heart monitor was continuously beeping the shrill noise frightening her even further.

Sasuke who noticed Shisui's state of panic did the only thing he thought was wise, he ran out of the room.

"Itachi-Nii!" was echoing the halls as he shouted, shoes slapping against the ground loudly.

Said boy seemingly materialized out of thin air blocking his younger brother from causing anymore distress in the hospital, frowning he kneeled so as to share eye contact with the younger boy.

"What's wrong now Sasuke?" instead of answering he opted to try and drag him to Hinata's room, where Shisui was STILL trying to calm her down.

Itachi paused had the situation not have been so serious he would have called it comical, instead he observed every detail. Instantly he knew the girl was a Hyuuga, he had seen her before as both were to lead the clan someday It was necessary they know each other.

Which also lead to the news he had only gathered moments ago, the Hyuuga clan had been taken out. Seemingly in a day, and he could believe it now that he had gotten a glimpse of the Heiress's terrified state.

Shisui who finally took notice of Itachi's arrival frantically waved him over and whispered.

"Your better with kids do something!"

He would have sighed but decided not to, only silently moving closer to the frantic Hinata. Her eyes were wide and tears had gathered there, unwilling to fall even though it seemed as if she wanted them to.

Unwittingly he briefly recalled as to how he first met the Heiress, she had been crying then to hadn't she?

Though under different circumstances this time maybe the same trick would get her to stop, since he had no better ideas he followed through with it.

Hinata blinked slowly the warmth pressing against her forehead was gone, but it had shocked her enough to look upon her surroundings. Her lower lip quivered only slightly at his words.

'Because, they thought they could control me like some sort of animal.'

'What a joke you are.'

'This is what you have been reduced too? A sniveling little brat unable to keep the proud Hyuuga name alive?'

'Your pathetic, how you were ever born into a clan like this I'll never know. You're too soft, too WEAK.'

'Then prove me wrong, dear cousin'

Hinata shook her head forcefully trying to rid herself of his words, they only rang back at her stronger, louder.

"Make it stop…" she whispered her head in her hands.

"P-please…m-make I-it stop!" a hand gently pulled her face up; her eyes stared deeply into crimson orbs.

"I promise." But what do you promise? She thought sinking into the wispy shadows.

Author's note: I THINK I might have been a little cruel towards Hinata…Don't worry though it will get better for her! Also slight age differences then what you would think.
