Title: A Moment of Silence

Characters/Pairings: Hinata, Hanabi, Hyuga Sister Love

Summary: The best moments are in silence.


Hanabi watched their pond and the fish in it with slightly unfocused eyes. Otou-sama was in a meeting with the elders and Neji-nii was on a mission with his team. Her back was straight and her hands were placed neatly on top of her thighs, her hair was braided by a branch member, Saki.

She closed her eyes briefly, listening intently at the sounds of rippling water. She relaxed for a moment as she lost herself in their homemade garden. Her lips twitched, she heard her mother and a few members, both from the main and the branch, liked decorating the mansion. She thought they did a wonderful job.

Her ears perked up when she heard distant thumps of steps. She turned to see her sister holding a tiny tray and wearing her white thin kimono. She noticed a few beads of sweat on Hinata's body and she returned her smile with a tiny one.

The future heiress (because she was content in thinking Hinata was the next in line, it seemed right)wordlessly handed her a cup of iced juice, almost reassuringly in Hanabi's eyes. She answered with a nod and she heard shuffling from her side and knew that Hinata-nee was sitting by her and sipping her own cup as well.

The hot summer winds blew and Hanabi felt that they only made the atmosphere even more uncomfortable and wished it would rain soon. Hinata adjusted and went nearer to Hanabi but only found her, Hinata, closer warmth a comfort. She felt like she should smile.

Her eyes travelled down to her cup, and the ripples on the water grew louder. The breeze caught up and Hanabi sweated just a little more. She drank the juice and she felt Hinata's warm eyes on her. That is when she let herself relaxed. She hunched her back and her arms went limp and she had a tiniest and softest smile on her face. At the back of her mind, she noted that Hinata chuckled quietly. She let her smile grow.


These are a bunch of drabbles I think of randomly. Half the time, the characters are strangers to me. Naruto is the kind of anime that has every character and every relationship you can possibly think of (or atleast, it comes close) so I decided to write down teh good ones and make them fanfiction and post them. :D

Inspired when me and my little sister sat outside our house (but inside the gate) on a bench (which I have no idea where it came from). The atmosphere was quiet and content, and I got thinking. Of course, Mia was watching in our iPod and I was listening to music in my cellphone, so it was technically not the same ;).
