"Wake up." A voice called to her.
"Hello..?"
"Please wake up!" The voice sounded more terrified.
"Hello, where are you?"
"Wake up!" The voice connected with a slender frame running out of the black of night. His body bloodied and distorted. His face, scalped.
Hinata jumped awake. Her eyes scanned around the area not recognizing anything. Where was she? What had happened? Who was she?
The atmosphere was filled with a roaring sound of noises she had never heard before. Amongst that noise was the sound of talking. She propped herself on top of a few boxes she was lying beside and tried to calm her racing heart down. What was going on? Why was her body aching and why did her heart burn with sorrow? She couldn't remember anything. Was it temporarily memory loss? She didn't even remember her own name.
"Lady Hinata!" A small, quaint voice falls from behind.
She turned towards the direction and saw an animal the size of a cat sprinting towards her. Her eyes narrowed as it drew closer to her. She let out a gasp of relief and held out her arms.
"Kurama!" Finally, someone, something she remembered.
Kurama jumped into her arms and nuzzled his dirty coat against her chest. "Princess, you do not know how long I've been looking for you."
Princess?
She looked down at him furrowing her brow. "Princess? What are you talking about Kurama and why are you so small? What is this place? Who am I? Why can I only remember you?"
Kurama seemed alarmed. He placed his small paw against her cheek. "You are Hinata Hyuuga, Princess of Opal, heir to the throne. We were sent her after the Kingdom fell. We were sent here to find the one to save your people. I believe this place is called…Earth."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Why did the Kingdom fall? Was there an attack? Where are the people? Who is this person who's supposed to save us?" She had so many questions and trying to remember made her realize how much her head had been hurting.
Kurama's eyes saddened and he once more buried his head in her chest. "I'm so sorry you have lost your memory. I should've made sure you were right behind me…if I did Ne—" He paused.
Hinata looked down at him. What was he going to say? Did something happen else happen on this kingdom of hers that she was not aware about?"
"At any rate, we must find you shelter." He continued. "Over the past few days while I was looking for you, I scouted the area. We are in a city named I believe, San Francisco."
"San...Francisco?" She repeated. Who would name a place like that? That name wasn't very appealing at all.
While pondering on her thoughts she forced her weak legs to hoist her body weight and took a small step forward. The best way to figure out what to do now was to find help from anyone, but who would help a dirty girl wearing a wedding dress.
"A wedding dress?" Hinata looked at the dirty attire that seemed vaguely familiar. "Kurama, was I getting married?"
Kurama nodded his head. "Yes, you were to become Queen."
"Kurama, who was I going to marry? Are they here with us?"
Kurama opened his mouth to answer when a heavy object pierced the side of her body causing her to crash to the ground. She let out a small cry of pain and felt whatever strength that she had left evaporate from her body. "OW!"
"Eh?" A head popped out of a door in front of her.
Kurama growled at the figure that seemed to have no interest in the strange nine-tailed beast standing in front of her. She glared at him and he stared back tilting his head.
"What are you doing in the alley?" He asked.
"Why did you throw a box at me?" She hissed.
The head emerged from the dark room and he approached her. His eyes were dark and curious for he had never seen her around the area before. He had a slender body and shoulder length hair that was tied loosely in a ponytail. His face was young and porcelain like.
"Typically, people don't stand in front of a doorway especially in an alley." He replied, squatting to look her dead in the eyes. "You look like you've gone through hell and you don't smell very pleasant either. What's up with the get up? Are you some sort of prostitute into cosplay?"
"Prostitute?!"
He laughed lightly. "Just going off from what I see here lady."
Kurama lunged towards him, biting his hand. The man didn't flinch at all as he pulled Kurama away, holding him by the back of his neck. "What a strange animal. Why do you have nine tails? Maybe your owner performed some crazy experiment on you. Tsk. Tsk."
"I have you know, that you are messing with the wrong fox." Kurama growled, snapping his jaw at the man.
He blinked. "Whoa, you talk?"
"Yes, I talk! Put me down you imbecile and pay your respects to Princess Hinata Hyuuga, heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Opal."
The man dropped Kurama and turned his attention back to Hinata. "Is that your stage name? What is your real name?"
Hinata could not believe this guy. What was he expecting to get out of her? He was making fun of her and treated Kurama like he was some…dog! "I'm not sure. I can't remember anything about myself. But, I believe Kurama so my name must be Hinata Hyuuga."
"And mine is Sugar Daddy." He replied.
"Sugar Daddy?"
He laughed again and stood up straight. "I'm joking. I'm Itachi Uchiha. I run this bar you're standing beside. If you have amnesia I'll help you out. I just can't leave a poor girl in an alley. Oh, pardon me. I can't leave a Princess in an alley." He smirked.
Itachi held out his hand which she took hesitantly and helped her to her feet. He placed an around her waist to help keep her up and smiled. "I was just finishing up here. Let's head home and we can find out where you came from milady."
She snorted and reluctantly followed him to the main road. Her eyes widened in wonder at the beautiful lights that lit up the dark city. There were so many people. So much music and laughter; It almost warmed up the cold that she was feeling inside. All eyes turned to her as she walked by. She lowered her head hoping her hair would shade her face out of view.
Itachi chuckled and pulled her closer. "Well, this is quite an entrance to make to our world, Your Highness." He whispered.
Hinata blushed. This is soooo embarrassing. Just let me die.
As they walked up to a metal piece of junk—as she thought it was—Itachi opened the door for her.
"Do I get in?" She peaked inside.
"Well, I sure am not holding it open for your doggy."
Kurama growled at him from the underneath Hinata's hair. "If I could return to my true form your head would be in my mouth brat."
Itachi mimicked a scared gesture. "I'm so afraid!"
"Enough." Hinata said firmly getting into the object. "What is this called?"
Itachi smiled. "Oh my dear, this is a car called a Nissan GTR. But, I call her Dango for short." He reached over her body and caught her by surprise.
"Hey! Where are you reaching?" Her cheeks flushed at the closeness of his face to hers. His eyelashes were so long. He almost reminded her of a pretty girl.
"Relax, I'm just making sure you don't fly through the window. Safety always comes first." He said, strapping her in and closing the door.
Hinata pressed her face against the window to get a clearer view of the world outside the car. She was in awe. How could someone live in such a busy place? She could barely see the stars, not that it mattered.
Vroommm
She jumped. "What was that?"
Itachi raised a brow. "You sure are fun."
"I'm not sure if you mean that or not."
He grinned widely. "I do. Now hold on. Things will get a little crazy."
Hinata gulped and held Kurama close to her. She didn't really understand what he meant by that until her heart nearly jumped out of her chest as he pulled off and shot into the night.
"Honey, I'm home!" Itachi exclaimed when opening the door.
"You're married?" Hinata asked.
"No, I'm what they call…a playboy." He replied almost seeming to be impressed himself.
"You sound very fond of that." She said.
He shrugged and led her inside. "It runs in the family."
Family…do I have one?
Hinata followed Itachi's lead with taking her shoes off and the front room. The house was on a secluded hill overlooking the ocean. They were far enough from the city where she could see the faint lightings of the stars in the sky. She smiled to herself and walked through the rooms tracing her fingers along various things. It was quiet here. It felt nice. There was a warming fragrance of vanilla that filled the room. Itachi had told her it was because the women he brought to the house usually enjoyed that scent so that is what he went along with. She shook her head at the thought. How could he be such a filthy man? Was she really safe around him?
"Hey, if you want to take a bath, there is a room in the corner of the house with everything you need. I can let you borrow some of my clothes for the time being. I'll just set them on the bed." He told her as he picked up what he had called to be a cell phone. Itachi had said in the car that he had a friend who was good at getting information and could possibly help her find out where she came from and who she was.
"Let's go Kurama." Hinata picked up her friend and walked to the corner of the house. The room Itachi had spoken about had a spacious bed in the corner and a large sliding door that led to the outside of the house. She could see a perfect view of the ocean and stars from that room. Her mouth dropped open and she ran to the door opening it. It was the best thing she had seen all day long.
"Kurama, isn't it beautiful?"
Kurama nodded his head. He had been silent ever since the car ride home. Hinata could tell that he was not yet comfortable with being here yet. She didn't blame him. Everything was happening so fast and she didn't even know how long it would last or where to even start when it ended. But, for now she definitely needed to get out of the dress she was wearing and into the bathroom.
As she ran the water to the tub she finally got a glimpse of how she truly looked in the mirror. Her skin was tarnished with dirt and her eyes were swollen. There were small pieces of leaves embedded in her skin. She looked a hot mess. No wonder there were so many eyes on her today.
"I'm leaving the clothes right here on the bed. Feel free to use this room while you're here" Itachi knocked on the door.
"Okay." She called back to him and quickly hopped into the warm water. "Mmmmm…" Her aching muscles began to relax the further down she immersed inside the tub. "Kurama come here."
Kurama shook his head. "No, I will wait until you're done. I wouldn't' want to make the water dirtier that it is."
She splashed him and laughed. "You're always a party pooper."
Kurama shook his fur and jumped onto the side of the tub where he curled himself into a ball. "I am pretty old."
"You got that right." Hinata agreed and closed her eyes. It was the first time her mind was at peace since she had awakened earlier that day. She was only at peace because she couldn't remember anything. Everything was blank and she was just too tired to try to think of anything.
"Hinata, please don't fall asleep." Kurama pressed his paw against her head.
Hinata opened one eye. "I'm awake. I'm just relaxing."
"Hmmm…" He responded. His right ear started to twitch back and forth and he stood up looking directly at the door.
Hinata sat upright looking at the door as well. She could hear a low rumble coming from his body. "What is it?"
The door suddenly swung opened and she yelped startled. The boy in the doorway jumped back alarmed as well. Instinctively, Hinata grabbed the first thing she could reach and chucked it at his him. The item hit him in the middle of his head sending him falling backwards unconscious.
"Oh no!" She stood up. "What did I do?" She watched a trickle of blood begin to stream down his forehead as he lay on the ground.
"Hinata, what happened?" Itachi's concerned voice filled the room. "Sasuke?"
Hinata watched as Itachi dropped down besides the boy and examine his head. "What the hell, Hinata? What did you do?" He looked up at her. His eyes immediately went from her face down to her bare skin.
Hinata gasped and shielded all she could with her arms. "KURAMA!"
Kurama lowered his body into a pouncing position. His fur glowing a deep red and his growling growing louder.
Itachi stood up quickly, backing away. "N-Now Hinata, it's not like I haven't seen plenty of naked women before. Please tell your pooch to settle down." He stammered watching Kurama's pupil dilate.
Kurama launched himself at Itachi who took off into the yard yelling at the top of his lunges. Hinata quickly got out of the tub and grabbed a towel to wrap her body with. She ran over to the unconscious boy and checked his head. "I am so sorry! Please be alright."
The boy groaned and tightened his closed eyelids before blinking them open. He looked confused and in a daze as he slowly sat up. "What the fuck." He uttered under his breath.
"I am sorry! You scared me and I just threw it!"
He looked at her angrily causing herself to draw back a little. His cold, dark eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Who the fuck are you?"
"I-I'm Hinata Hyuuga."
Groaning, he stood to his feet and glared down at her. "Get out." He said firmly. "You're nothing but one of my brother's whores. Just hurry up and get out."
Hinata cringed as he slammed the door when he left her. Now he was angry. Shouldn't she be the one angry? They saw her body! HER BODY! Not to mention everyone thought she was some loose woman. Not wanting to think about anything she walked over to the bed and flopped down face first. She was just so tired. She was pretty sure that the boy called Sasuke wouldn't be entering the room any time soon and Kurama was busy with Itachi so she could rest her eyes for a bit. As she closed her eyes, she looked down at the ring on her finger and couldn't help but feel that deep sorrow in her heart once again. What was she to do?
"I'll figure it all out in the morning." She told herself as she fell into a deep slumber on her first crazy night in the dimension called Earth.
A/N: Here is what I imagined the Uchiha house to look like. I always loved looking at this house. It's a pretty big house. Just go to the website Zillow and search 63 Norman Way, Belvedere Tiburon, CA 94920. You should be able to see it. I can't post the link on here hahaha.
