Only You Understand My Pain

A Kakashi x Hinata Fan Fiction

Chapter 12

A Recessive Gene

A calming voice filled her tired mind. It called soothing warmth to fill her emptiness. She almost didn't want to give into the knowledge she needed to wake. Her dark lashes fluttering slightly before allowing them to open to the light. She gasped as her eyes opened to find Kakashi leaning over her. Not just Kakashi but a bare faced mask less Kakashi. Her eyes soaking in everything. Ever edge, curve, and dip in his near flawless face. To say he was handsome was an understatement. Her mind only slightly understanding why he his those features behind a mask.

"Kakashi?" She asked softly.

"Yo." He smiled down at her. She could see dimples in that heavenly smile.

"How?" Her eyes darting around the room.

"You passed out. " He retorted before letting out a sigh. " You nearly drowned. Don't ever scare me like that again… okay."

"I…I.. Ano…thank you Kakashi." She smiled her fingers playing with the corners of the blanket that covered her.

"Dinners ready." He grinned. "Here let me help you up." She reluctantly let him help her up. He showed her the bathroom where she could change into her kimono that Pakkun had recovered. She returned shortly gracefully sitting on the cushion at the table. After watching her play with her food. Sliding it here and there on her plate he cleared his throat.

"You need to eat." He scolded.

"I'm not very hungry." She replied softly.

"To bad eat or I won't train you. Or if you rather have me feed you like a mother bird…" He let his words trail off.

"Okay I get it." She scowled before placing a bite in her mouth. It was actually very good. She quickly ate another piece.

"See you were hungry." He smirked. She loved to see those dimples and how the corner of his eye crinkled when he smiled.

"So why do I get the honor of seeing you without your mask?" She asked her soft eyes meeting his.

He just shrugged his shoulders and continued eating. Her eye brow rose at his avoidance of the issue.

'Why me of all people did he show his face to?' Her mind raced. ' I am nothing special. I wonder if he realizes how handsome he really is?'

" So are you going to fill me in on this chakra I saw you use?" His voice breaking her inner musing.

"Oh… I guess I haven't really explained it to you." Her head dropping. " My mother, Kiba and Shino were the only ones to know till you." Silence filled the room. She knew he was giving her time to collect her thoughts and feelings. It was just so damn hard to talk about. With Kiba and Shino well they were family and safe. Others especially her clan felt she was a jinx and a freak to have this power. It was something of a shame to her clan.

"It is a special kekkei genkai." She nearly whispered the words.

"Wait how can that be you're a Hyuga your byakugan is your families kekkei genkai." He nearly chocked out shocked by her words.

"That is true the Byakugan is the dominant kekkei genkai.I like most of my clan have it. Though the house members have it sealed. The thing that the rest of the village does not know is that there is a recessive kekkei genkai in my family. It is considered more as a curse then a gift to my clan. Ever forty or so years a child is born with it. No one knows really how it became. Some have speculated it is from the mix of a pure blood Hyuga with another clan many years ago. The rule of the clan is when it is discovered the child is immediately sealed." She let out a deep sigh as she looked up to stare at him.

"My mother felt different about it. Maybe because she was not a Hyuga by birth and that her family had many medical nins in it. She hid my rare kekkei genkai from my father and the clan. When I was three she explained to me how important my gift …as she liked to call it could help others but that the clan must never know." Reaching for her tea she took a sip to help the dryness that had come to her throat.

"This genkai Aoi kaen (blue flame). Well it enables me to heal faster then a normal medical shosen jutsu. Well it will when I am trained better in medical nin jutsu." Titling her head to the side she paused for a moment.

"It also seems to heal not only faster but better in most cases. Since my family has always sealed it there really is no full account of what it's full potential could be. The only draw back is it needs more chakra then others." She whispered hoarsely. "As you saw today I can use it for more then healing….but also a weapon."

"I know your clan is not a big supporter of medical nins being in their family but if you have this special kekkei genkai why hide it?" He asked.

"Because it is considered a weakness." Her voice rising as she dropped the cup in her hand on the table.

"Now that my clan knows I have it and was not sealed as a child. Well it is not a good thing…let's just leave it at that…" Her words trailing off sadly.

"Hinata how do you feel about it?" She gasped looking up at him. No one had ever asked her how she had felt before.

"I…I…" Turning her head to the side a soft sigh leaving her lips sadly. "I want to use it to heal. To use it like my mother had always wanted me to…helping others."

"Then I will help you learn how to increase your chakra strength." He smiled warmly.

"Thank you Kakashi." Bowing her head respectfully at him. "Only one thing."

" That would be?" He questioned.

"My clan must never know what I am doing until I have full control. Then maybe they will see it as a gift and not as a curse."

"My lips are sealed." He smirked over the table at her.

O.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.O.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.O

And there it is the reason behind her strange jutsu. Hopefully I explained it enough. Also not sure if I used the right Japanese term for flame. If I did get it wrong please let me know. Yah I know blue flame not very creative but what the heck it was all that came to me.

More to come.

Please review and no flaming blue or regular LOL!
