Chapter 2: Enough of the System
I hold the letter close to my chest as I look out my window, it had been 3 years since all that mess at the exams happen. Naruto was off training with his new sensei and Sakura had been taken under Tsunades wing along with myself, we had to train hard to become medical ninja. I kept thinking back to the night it all happened after the exams Sasuke had visibly changed and was beginning to act way more distant than before, but the night before he left he had snuck into my room while I was asleep. And left a letter on my nightstand, the letter read in his cursive writing, "Hinata, Im about to take the biggest step in my life, you might think it's the wrong one or that im stupid but I need to get stronger in order to get at Itachi. You've got to do the same, keep training and become stronger, have more confidence in yourself and do what you want. Hell, if you still love that dumbass, go after him, he has to grow up some day. I have to leave soon and I know you'll read this and if your wondering how I got into your room, well, that's another story for a later date. Stay safe and I know ill see you in the near future. Goodbye Hinata-chan.".
I glanced over to my clock and sighed heavily it was time to begin my work out before going out on my mission. I tie my hair up in a pony tail and walk out into my backyard, I begin doing push ups, and sit ups till my arms and back are killing me. Then I begin to meditate and do some yoga to calm my mind and get ready for my mission, "You be careful out there", my father says from the door, I nod still doing my yoga pose. Once im done I run up to my room and put on my gear, I fix my sweater and comb my hair, "Hinata! Kiba is here!", I hear Hanabi, I roll my eyes and gather my weapons, I jog down to meet Kiba and slip on my ninja sandals.
"Damn these Akatsuki missions are getting old arnt they?", Kiba says while yawning, "Yeah along with all the Sasuke, Orochimaru ones, I'm sure this one will be easy", Shino mumbles from behind his jacket. We walk silently down the road, "Its weird this is our first mission without Kurenai", I say fixing my bag and counting how many stars I had and how many I needed for the mission. Once outside the village we were off, jumping trough the trees at lightning speed.
...
"So what are these guys up to anyways", Kiba whispered I waved my hand for him to be quite while I looked a head with my byakugan. "Its clear so, we should proceed into the village and scout out the area", I say dropping down to the floor and removing my jacket. "What are you doing?", Kiba asks, I look at him, "the less ninja like we look the better we can blend in", he nods as he pulls off his head band and ruffles his hair. I pull my hair up and lead the group into the village, no one looks twice as we walk to a near hotel to stay for the night, once in my room I put on a plain black T-shirt and some shorts, "Im going out to the bar and see if I can get any information", without letting them answer I run out of the hotel.
The music was semi loud and everyone was drinking and talking to themselves, I make my way to the bar and order myself something fruity. I look around the bar before my eyes fall on a blond my heart stars betting fast for the small hope that it might be Naruto, all he had done was let his hair grow out. My body moved on its own walking to the blond, I reach out and tap his shoulder, he spins and I feel disappointed and star truck at the same time. I am met with grey eyes and a sexy crocked smile, "Hello?", I swallow hard, "Oops! Sorry I thought you were someone else, im sorry", I say feeling a blush creep on my cheeks, "No problem it happens a lot actually", he says with a smile. I have to get away from him, he is way to charming for himself and way more attractive than any other guy ive meet. "HA! Well ill let you get back to what ever you were doing, sorry again", I smile and wave as turn away to leave, feeling his eyes on my back as I did so. Back at the bar im served my drink and proceed to doing what I was doing before, I start some small talk with a man next to me asking if anything weird has been going on around the village, of course nothing and I brush it off.
The night is winding down and im about done with drinking, I pay and tip the bartender and make my exit, unaware that the blond beauty was watching me do so. "Hey!", I look up at Kiba, "Any luck?", he asks in a whispered tone, "Negative, very delicious drinks I have to say, and I had a bit of a problem", Kiba quickly looks worried. "I thought I saw Naruto in there and miss took him for another guy, but other than that, its all cool", I smile as Kiba sighs, "Im sure by the time we get back, he will be home so don't worry to much over it", he pats my head leading me back to the hotel.
...
Next morning we did the same scouted the are and the village asking questions to anyone that might know. I walked around a pool area when I bumped into someon, "AH! Sorry!", I yell rubbing my nose, "No problem, though it looks like we keep bumping into one another don't we", I look up at the tall blond and begin to blush. He is shirtless and standing in front of me, every muscle presented to me all the way down to his navel and his shorts which were hanging danger low, I gasp like a fish out of water and quickly look away, "OH! That's right! Well im sorry again for bumping into you!", I yell trying to control the fainting feeling I have. "Wait", I turn to him keeping my eyes on his face, "Whats your name", I smile at him, "Hinata, yours?", he also smiles, "Deidara, hope to see you around some more", I nod and leave.
Once away from him I can relax and maybe the knot in my stomach can go away, why does a guy like that have a big affect on me, is it because he's blond, or that crocked smile that is just breath taking. I stop and shake my head, "Im on a mission, get your head out of the gutter", I whisper ad continue on with my mission.
With no luck we all decide to call it quits and head back to the village, sending a mental goodbye to the good looking blond that I was leaving. We had nothing on the Akatsuki so it must have been a mistake, but all that dint matter if Naruto was going to be back at the village. A smile found its way on my lips at just the thought, maybe now he would notice me and we could finally be together, I will tell him how I feel and maybe he will accept.
...
"Welcome back guys!", the men at the gates cheered waving their hands over their head, we smile and wave back, "Lets head to report to Tsunade, maybe well get lucky and meet up with Naruto", Kiba smile and soon we were off. Jumping roof to roof until we got to the Hokage's tower, our foot steps echoed as we walked up the long flight of stairs, Shino whispered to himself as always as I looked ahead thinking of what I would say to Naruto first. We reached the door and heard silent talking, Kiba knocked on the door slowly, "COME IN!", Tsunade shouted shaking the door lightly, we all exchanged glances as I pushed the door forward. As if someone had heard my prayer Naruto was there slumped against the wall a dumb adorable look on his face, "Ah your all back!", Tsunade said a small smile on her face. "NARUTO, Man! Has it been a long time bro!", Kiba yelled running over to grab Naruto and rub his head, I watched both boys interact a smile on my face, Naruto had grown so much, he was way more taller now and much more slimmer. "Welcome back Naruto-kun!", I said hiding the blush from my face, he smiled at me, "Hinata, you sure have grown up haven't you!", I watched his eyes wander down to my chest and lay there for a while. I blushed deeply letting him stare until Sakura came in punching him square in the face, "You pervert!", she yells.
I felt slightly disappointed but managed to somehow laugh it off up until Naruto spoke, "Oh! Sakura-chan! You should know I would never look at anyone else the way I look at you". My smile instantly faded and Kiba quickly looked over to me, I stared down at the floor quickly holding back the tears threatening to come out. "Anyway, we wish to report that our mission came back clean, no sign of the group we are looking for in that village ma'am", I spoke hiding the sadness in my voice, "I see, very well you guys go on and rest, it will be a while before you guys go out on another mission". I nod at Tsunade and quickly turn on my heel, "Nice seeing you again Naruto", I mumble and walk out the room not looking over my shoulder. My heart had been torn to shred right in front of everyone and all but Naruo knew of it, "Hinata!", I ignored Kiba's calls as I kept on walking down the stairs.
...
"Welcome home, Hinata-sama!", the servants greet me as I walk in trough the door I kick off my sandals and walk to my room zipping down my sweater, "Hinata! I wish to have a word with you!", I hear my father call. I ignore him as I slump down on my bed releasing a long sigh, I grab a scrunchy that lies carelessly on my nightstand and use it to tie up my long indigo hair. I lazily walk out of my room and to my father office, "Yes?", I mumble he stares up a bit frustrated, "I hope your not that tired from your mission, I want you to have a sparring match with your sister in an hour. I send him a glare before I bow and turn to leave back to my room, I quickly drop on the floor and begin to meditate I concentrate in healing any wounds I might have and begin of thinking of a tactic I can use to beat her.
"Ms. Hinata? Are you ready for the spar", I open my eyes and look at my door, I quickly jump up stretching, "Yes, I am", I answer. I walk down the hall to our clans training room, I was a bit shocked when I notices that the room was full and a bit more surprised when I noticed the older clans men sitting waiting for the fight. I kneel in front of Hanabi as we always do as I notice my father stand, "Today! Is a very important day, today one of my daughters will be handed the right to be the next clan leader, I fear I am getting old, so today we make plans for the future". My eyes narrow glancing behind Hanabi at my father, he was doing this souly in Hanabi's favor catching me at my weakest when ive come back from a long mission. I really dint care for right to be leader of the clan but if I were to lose this match, I might be officially disowned by my father and branded as a branch member, I would be second citizen to my father.
I was angry and Hanabi could tell by the look she was giving me, "Your stronger than what you think you are", I close my eyes to hear Sasuke's voice. "You can defeat your father, I know you can, trust in yourself and one day you will find your strength and maybe finally break out of your small cage", I slowly open my eyes. "Are my daughters ready?!", I hear my father yell Hanabi nods I stay silent for a moment everyone waiting on me, I activate my Byakugan and jump back getting into my stance. "BEGIN THEN!", with that Hanabi runs at me her Byakugan activated now, she does the usual striking motions and I easily dodge them examining her body movements, "you usually have a weak open spot that leaves you very vulnerable, you just have to pay attention the next time you fight your cousin", Sasuke's voice whispering in my ear. I quickly notice Hanabi left her side open and I quickly send a jab of chakra into her sending her flying back in pain, I hear gasps from the crowed as all eyes are on Hanabi, she gasps as she clenches her side, half of me wanting to run to her side the other holding me back.
"Get up!", my father yells making me look over at him, he was visibly angry, Hanabi slumps forward staggering on her feat, "GENTLE FISTS!", she yells, I activate my gentle fists and we begin exchanging blows. "Don't exert your chakra, when your fist fighting have your chakra support your hits, when you know you have a chance, insert into the body for damage", I mentally nod blocking all her attacks until she leaves her abdomen open. I don't think twice as I begin to land multiple hits on her, once the first hit connects, she quickly slumps over as blood is forced from her mouth, before I can stop myself I land another hit. She visibly losses conciseness and I let her drop on the floor, I stand staring down at her as I notice were I had landed the hit, her chakra core was now disrupted and not flowing properly.
Everyone begins to whisper as I lean down to tend to Hanabi, im about to touch her face when my father slaps a towel on my face, "Clean off", he mumbles as I begin to clean off. Everyone's eyes are on me, watching every move I make I stand taking a deep breath ready to face everyone. When I notice Hanabi being pulled away, "Wait, don't do that, shes really hurt!", I shout as I feel a tight grip around my arm, "Let her, she will soon suffer the mark of the branch family anyway", my father says in a very unemotional voice. My face twists in horror, what had I just done, I had doomed my sister, I bite my lip, "Don't you care that she is your daughter!", I scream pulling away from him, he narrows his eyes, "I am very disappointed in her, she has gotten weak, to be beaten by you is completely unacceptable", he says keeping his voice low. I take a deep breath trying to tame my anger, "What is that suppose to mean", I mumble grinding my teeth, he smirks, "You know exactly what that means", I cant control my body as I swing at my father slapping him in the head with enough force, I tossed off his equilibrium making him crash to the floor in pain. "You truly are the scum of this earth!", I yell running out of the hall, leaving my father screaming in pain.
I make a quick run to my room were I gather my things, I grab a duffle bag and begin packing some of my clothing into it. I then run down to my father's office and move his book case to get to his safe, I quickly unlock it and begin taking some one my money and shoving it into my bag. I hear everyone begin to run around a bit panicked looking for me so I look over to the window at my side and make a quick decision, I lock the safe, fix the shelf back into place and silently slide the window open. I slither out of it closing it and make a quick run out of the compound, once outside I make a quick decision to run Kiba's house.
...
"That bastard, I cant believe he can go that low, man that old man doesn't stop surprising me", I watch Kiba's mom stand up and scratch her head, "You can stay here for the night tomorrow you can go request a long mission to get you some breathing room between you and your father", I nod as she walks out. I rub my eye as Kiba comes in, "So your going to leave tomorrow?", he mumbles scratching his head. "I have to, I feel if I see my father right away I might rip is heart out or something", I reply playing with my fingers, an awkward silence falls on us as there is knocking at the door. Akamaru quickly appears tugging on me to follow him, Kiba pushes me on him as we make our way down a long corridor, "Forgive me, but Akamaru needs to lay on you to hide your chakra", Kiba says with a whisper. I nod laying on the floor and letting Akamaru lay on top of me which surprisingly he wasn't so heavy, I hear footsteps and yelling.
"Look! If you see Lady Hinata you are advised to contact me!", I recognize the voice as one of the branch members that serves as a guard for the compound, "Sure! Now get the hell out before I get the dogs to bite your balls off!", I hear Kiba's mother yell. Akamaru then lifts off of me licking my face, "Ill show you to were you will be staying the night ok?", Kiba mumbles rubbing his neck, I notice he was a bit nervous but shook off the feeling letting him guide me to the guest room.
