Chapter Ten: Sasuke's Guilt
Sasuke Uchiha was walking towards the Hyuga compound with Hinata Hyuga. He felt guilty. He knew what was happening today. He felt like he had not kept his word. Hinata would be getting the Caged Bird Seal today. Sasuke hated it. How could a father do this to his daughter? Sasuke didn't get it. He looked at Hinata who was looking as calm as ever. However Sasuke knew that was an act for his sake. Hinata was scared as hell. Sasuke wanted to comfort her but he didn't know how. He felt a wave of envy towards Naruto. He wished he could talk to Hinata so freely and was as good as comforting girls like how Naruto was with Tenten. They reached the Hyuga compound. Sasuke went to go in the gates but Hinata stopped him.
"Sasuke where are you going?" She asked. Sasuke turned to face her. "In the Hyuga compound." He said with a raised eyebrow. Hinata looked at him. "Sasuke you know how they'll react to you going in there." Sasuke shook his head. "Hinata I know what their goanna do to you today." He said. "There goanna have to deal with me while they do it. I want to be there for you." Hinata stared at him then gave a smile. "Thanks Sasuke." She said. "However I don't think you should come with me. You'll see things you didn't want to." Sasuke shook his head. "I'm going Hinata." He said. Hinata sighed then walked in the compound. Sasuke followed. He felt eyes following them and it made Sasuke uncomfortable. They were all glaring at him. Now I know how Naruto feels. He thought. He was so tempted to grab his sword but resisted the urge.
Hinata led him to a large building which sense it was the largest house. He figured it was the main house. Hinata walked up the porch and opened it. Sasuke went to follow her in but she stopped him.
"Wait here." She said. "I need to tell father." Sasuke nodded. She closed the door. Sasuke wondered if she had lied to keep him from going inside. He knew that wasn't it. Hinata wouldn't do that. Besides she knew he'd just break down the door and fight his way to her. Sasuke suddenly heard a whizz of air. Sasuke drew his sword and turned and deflected the kunai that was sent his way. He saw a brown haired boy with a headband on his forehead glaring at him. Sasuke recognized him at once.
"Neji Hyuga." He said. "What are you doing?" Neji gave him a glare. "You are not allowed near the main house. I'm unfortunately doing my job as a member of the side branch." Sasuke laughed. "Well you're doing a terrible job." He said. Neji eyes narrowed in anger. "Besides." He said. "I care about Hinata unlike you. I mean her no harm." Neji glared then pulled out a kunai his eyes suddenly had veins popping out around him. He had activated his Byakugan. Sasuke smirked and gripped his sword in a reverse grip.
"I hope you don't honestly think you can beat me." He said. "However I've wanted to get my hands on you for a while. So go ahead and have a shot. I dare you." Neji smirked. "Very well." He said. "It will be fun to show you how foolish and weak Uchiha are." Sasuke smirked. "Coming from you." He said. "That really hurts. A side branch member who would beat the crap out of the only thing he's supposed to protect." Neji cried out in rage and charged forward. Sasuke jumped from the porch and swung his blade down. Suddenly a girl with brown hair was there. She deflected the sword by hitting his wrist and caught Neji's wrist. Sasuke stared. The girl knew the secret of his blade. The blade couldn't be blocked but the user can be stopped.
How did this girl know? He jumped backwards holding his blade at the ready. The girl straightened. Neji deactivated his Byakugan. He bowed to the girl in front of him a look of anger and hatred in his eyes.
"Please forgive me Lady Hanabi." He said. "I was simply doing my job." Hanabi… Hinata's sister?! Sasuke stared in surprise this was the girl who had beat Hinata and took the title of heiress. She was about a year younger. The girl rolled her eyes.
"Well you did a terrible job." She said. "He's been in the compound for at least twenty minutes. If he was an enemy Shonobi half the clan would be dead. Well if he were more skilled anyways." Sasuke looked at her. He slowly put his Snake Sword into its scabbard.
"Hanabi." He said. "Hinata wasn't kidding. You're pretty good." Hanabi turned to him. "My father wishes to see you." She said. "Sasuke Uchiha. My sister is going to have a large burden on her shoulders from now on. You're goanna make it worst for her by coming into the Hyuga compound. So if you know what's good for you don't come here with my sister again." Sasuke looked at her. "I'm helping a friend." He said coldly. "What about you? She's your sister. Look what she did for you. She wouldn't hurt you and you beat her down. Why? How does that help your sister? You just gave her a sentence worst then death. I know all about the fight and what happened after. So don't threaten me. Understand?" Hanabi stared at him then rolled her eyes. "You Uchiha disgust me." She said. "You think you're so great well look what happened to you. Some clan." Sasuke stared at her. Rage on his face. He slowly took a step forward. He was going to kill her.
"Take it back." He said. Hanabi smirked. "Or what?" Sasuke glared. "Don't mess with me. I'm Sasuke Uchiha. You don't know what happened that night. Take it BACK!" Sasuke roared shooting forward. Suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed his. Sasuke turned going to draw his blade to see Hinata. Hinata looked at him. She shook her head.
"Sasuke don't." She said. "Come on okay? Please." Sasuke looked at her. He slowly turned his back on Hanabi and put up his sword. "I'm sorry." He said. Hinata nodded. "Don't worry about it. You're here for me I owe you a thank you." Sasuke shook his head. "No you don't." Hinata gripped his hand and pulled him into the house. She closed the door. She led him through the house and down the hall. Sasuke felt guilty. He had just basically tried to fight her sister.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I shouldn't have provoked Neji or tried to fight Hanabi. I just want to help you and it only seems I'm making it worse." Hinata turned to face him. "Hanabi shouldn't have spoken of you family like that." She said. "I'm not mad at you. You're helping me. You're there for me. I owe you so much." Sasuke looked at her. She kissed his cheek suddenly. Sasuke blushed. Hinata gave him a smile.
"I'm not mad." She said. "Now let's go." He nodded and let her lead him through the house. Hinata opened a door to a group of people. There was an elderly group of people and one man with long brown hair. He looked at Sasuke with a curious but cold gaze. Sasuke realized that this was Hinata's father. Hishashi Hyuga
"My daughter says you wish to be here when we perform the sealing?" He asked. Sasuke nodded and bowed. "I'm a friend of hers sir." He said. "I want to be there to help. I couldn't miss it." Hishashi Hyuga looked at Sasuke. "And how will you being there will help Hinata?" He asked. Sasuke frowned he figured Hishashi would ask. Well the good news was he couldn't disappoint.
"When my clan was attacked I was brought to the hospital." Sasuke said. "I used my Sharingan to copy Medical Jutsu. I know one that lessens pain. I figure doing this will cause Hinata pain. I don't want her to have to suffer like that." Hishashi looked at Sasuke then nodded. "Very well." He said. "However you are to not try to stop us from completing the sealing. No matter what. If you do you could cause permeant brain damage to Hinata or even kill her. Do you understand?" Sasuke nodded. Hinata had told him the risks. He wasn't stupid. He wished he could do something however.
An elderly man stepped forward. "Hinata Hyuga you're are here now as you know to commence the Caged Bird Seal." He said. "Once in place you will no longer be a main branch member but a side branch. As a side branch member it will be your job to protect the main house at all costs. You will no longer be entitled to certain laws like your marriage or who you have children with. You will also be entitled to enlist yourself in anything outside of the Hyuga compound as long as it benefits the main house. Do you understand these terms?" Sasuke's eyes widened. They were basically saying that she wasn't a member at all. That she didn't matter. He turned to see Hinata with her chin held high a bold look on her face. She refused for her resolve to break.
"I do." She said. The elder nodded. "Then let's begin. Step in the middle of the room. You to Uchiha." Sasuke followed Hinata to the center of the room. The elders and Hishashi gathered in a circle. Hinata kneeled down on her knees. Sasuke knelt as well. He saw Hinata's hand was trembling. He took it. Hinata looked at him then gave him a thankful smile. The elders then began to form handsigns. They began to chant.
"Sori, Tatsu, Ne, Tori," Over and over in different order. Hinata closed her eyes and Sasuke watched as the elders ready to begin applying the Medical Jutsu right when they started. Finally they finished chanting and they formed a ram seal. Hinata screamed in pain. Her forehead began to glow green. Sasuke applied the pain Jutsu immediately clutching her hand. Hinata screams turned into simple groans. Her head glowed brighter and brighter. Finally the glow formed an X and two lines on either side on her forehead. It continued to glow and finally subsided. Hinata collapsed and Sasuke caught her. She began to breath heavily and then her breathing settled and she fell into a deep sleep. Sasuke looked up to see the elders stand and gaze upon him.
"Take her to her chambers." Hishashi said calmly. "You come with me." He said addressing Sasuke. Sasuke stood not wanting to make matters worse for Hinata and handed her to an elder. He followed Hishashi out of the room. Hishashi led him down the hall and to a room. He opened the door and held it for Sasuke. The room held record scrolls and had a desk with a chairs in front and behind it. Sasuke stepped in and Hishashi sat down at the desk and motioned for Sasuke to sit. Sasuke sat and Hishashi regarded him with a curious look.
"You an Uchiha helped my daughter." He said. "Why?" Sasuke scoffed. "I don't care what clan she's part of. She's my friend that's all the motive I need." Hishashi smiled. "Well I'm glad to hear it." He said. "Hinata will be in a large burden from now on. I will not be allowed to assist her. The elders would make it worse if I assisted. So I want you to keep an eye out for my daughter. She is a kind gentle girl who didn't deserve this fate. I wish it didn't have to be this way. However I have no choice. Will you guard my daughter and give her a reason to live?" Sasuke gave him a glare. "I'll do it." He said. "However if you knew that the elders would do this to Hinata why didn't you stop them?" Hishashi sighed. "I am not allowed to interfere. If I did something against the laws I and my family would be executed."
Sasuke glared. "Then change the laws." Hishashi laughed bitterly. "I have tired. Believe me. However the elders are to against the idea to let the Cage Seal go. They believe then the side would take over. They like there power and want to keep it." Sasuke looked at him. "And you don't?" He asked. Hishashi regarded Sasuke with a look of sadness. "I would give up all my power Sasuke Uchiha." He said. "If I could have both my daughters with a great future and without having to see all the pain Hinata will face. She is very fond of you. She has mentioned you often. You're a good friend to her. Please do what I can't" Sasuke looked at him. "I'll do it." He said. "It's for Hinata though not you. I'm also going to change the Hyuga. I don't want anyone else to have to have such a torment." Hishashi looked at him with a small smile. "I believe you will." He said. Sasuke looked at him. He would keep his promise to Hinata.
