Hinata was fast asleep in her room, ignoring the constant bickering of the Koumori. The door to Hinata's room was locked securely so she heard some knocks or two, but ignored them carelessly. She was busy dreaming about Neji. How will she get her revenge on him for what she didn't do? Hinata didn't know the answer herself. She just kept dreaming up an idea but still can't think of one. What she does know, is that her revenge deals with the black roses she has grew. Hinata smirked in her sleep, anxious to use her black beauties on an enemy.

You're weird you know that?

You can't blame me, Hinata laughed in her mind.

True... But he's still your cousin.

And he still made me suffer.

...

The Koumori couldn't argue with her. She was right about Neji making her suffer. Since the Koumori's inside Hinata, he has no choice but to endure the suffering with her. However, as twisted as his soul is, he also has an idea to make the Hyuuga cousin suffer for his insolence. Hinata opened her eyes and faced the wall clock.

"It's evening" she whispered to herself.

Hinata got up from her bed and stretched herself awake. She didn't feel like opening the door to go outside, so she used the window instead. Careless as she is, Hinata jumped from the window and landed on her back.

Was that supposed to hurt? Hinata thought confused.

Actually it is. Somehow, you're used to this kind of stuff.

After all those missions, I guess I should be used to them.

Weirdo...

Thank you.

Hinata hopped to her feet and brushed the dirt off of her. She looked beside her to see Kiba, eyes widened and worried. Hinata gave him a sweet smile, telling him that she's alright. Kiba smiled back sincerely, still worried about the Hyuuga Heiress.

"Why did you jump from the window Hinata?" Kiba asked confused.

"I didn't feel like using the door" Hinata replied innocently.

"You're back doesn't hurt?"

"Not really."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I'm kinda used to it."

Hinata was beginning to think that Kiba doubted her. However, her thought changed when Kiba laughed. Hinata laughed with him.

"Alright then. Be careful next time okay?" Kiba told her.

"Alright Kiba-san" Hinata said, waving at him.

Kiba and Hinata parted ways. Hinata left to go to the Hokage's Mansion and opened the door. The secretary wasn't there so Hinata helped herself to go to the Hokage's office. She was going to pay the old man a visit like she does everyday now. Only the Hokage knows about Hinata's black roses and Hinata's true self in this village. As long as the Hokage doesn't tell anybody about her true self, Hinata won't regret a thing from him. Hinata walked to the office door and heard a familiar voice. Hinata hid her chakra and listened in to the conversation. One voice sounded like Kurenai sensei's and another sounds like the Hokage's.

"Are you sure?" the Hokage asked.

"Positive" Kurenai told him.

"Hinata would be disappointed."

"I know."

Disappointed? About what!? Hinata thought anxiously.

"Why would you want to dismiss her from the Chuunin Exams?" the Hokage asked curiously.

Nani!? Hinata thought angrily.

This is bad news.

How could she... dismiss me!?

From your performance from those missions you failed I guess.

So she thinks it's my fault!?

Maybe...

Hinata's anger was flaring up but she kept her cool. She continued to eavesdrop on the Hokage and her sensei. Hinata couldn't believe her ears. Her own sensei doubted her!

"I'll talk to her about it" the Hokage told her.

"Okay" Kurenai replied.

"You're dismissed."

Hinata hid behind the door as it opened and peeked as Kurenai sensei left the mansion. As soon as her sensei was gone, Hinata went inside the office and closed the door behind her, looking angrily at it.

"I knew that you would come" the Hokage said.

"I heard every word" Hinata said in her emotionless tone.

"I guess she's doubted you."

"More than ever."

Feeling alright? Hidenka Kurayami? (Princess of Darkness)

Hell no!

"So you're gonna dismiss me?" Hinata asked, clenching her fists.

"No" replied the Hokage. "You're still in. Surprise all of them at the exams."

"Don't worry. I will."

"Hn."

Hinata said no more and dismissed herself from the office and from the mansion. She began to think about her sensei and brought her head down, looking at her feet.

Looks like I'm not telling my sensei about the black roses, Hinata thought sadly. And I really thought that I could trust her...
