Chappie 3- Sibling's Encounter
The cloaked girl looked towards her sister, though they were not related by blood, she had been taken in by the girl's family and she loved them all the same. She noticed that her surrogate father was motioning for her to come forward when Hanabi Hyuuga's name was mentioned. They, of course were the best match, just like the Uchicha was with Ren.
"Hina-chan, you sure 'bout this?" Her sister asked her to which she answered with a nod and walked confidently towards the center where Hanabi was waiting, her pale eyes looking at her calculatingly. She smirked under her cloaked and she knew that she would have to remove it sooner or later, but for now, she waited for her father's introduction to which she took the cue to remove her cloak.
"I will have my daughter, Hina, fight this fight..." She smiled and as feathers and light suddenly surrounded her while she removed her cloak. Her eyes were closed, but her face was adorned by a smirk knowing fully that everyone were gasping. She opened her eyes and she smiled, her long lilac hair following her suit when she shifted her weight on the other foot and placed her hands on her waist. She smiled, her eyes expressing no emotion but amusement.
"Ko-ni-chi-wa... " She smirked even more when she noticed that Naruto's eyes and the rest of the Hyuuga clan were shocked. Hanabi was looking at her with a pained expression mixed in with hesitation and guilt.
"T-tasuke-san! What does this mean?" She looked up to see Tsunade looking at her father while pointing towards her with betrayal in her eyes.
"My daughter found her on her way back home. She had been disowned and was betrayed, not to mention tired and weak. She was wounded so I decided to take her under my wings. She is quite a lovely gem isn't she? As expected of my daughters, do not worry, she is strong and you won't be disappointed , after all, she is the heiress to the strongest shinobi group in our kingdom." Hinata smirked and locked gazes with the Hyuuga patriarch to which she gave a snide look without looking at him the same way she used to and turned to look at Hanabi who was staring at her without emotion, as usual. She smiled towards her before bowing her head in greeting. However, as soon as they locked eyes, a smile began playing on her lips, she had one of her fingers twirling a lock of hair while looking at the wide eyes of everyone in the room.
"Shall we start waltzing now, heiress of the Hyuuga clan?"Hanabi looked at her without emotion but positioned herself in a fighting stance. Hinata smiled at her and merely twirled a feather in her hand while looking amusedly at her ex-sister. She waited for the go sign from her father but he seemed absorbed in talking with the Hokage who was on the verge of a breakdown. Well, not that she cared, but their reactions were priceless! And it amused her to no end.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk... I suppose then we shall have to wait a bit before we waltz then." Hanabi lowered her hands and stood up straight while looking at Hinata who was yawning and playing with a feather that she had created from her hand.
Hanabi stared at her sister who was standing in front of her. She was shocked as much as everyone when they saw her standing in front of them, she looked the same except that she was taller and much more paler. Her eyes were still the same silvery eyes they had but it had a tint of lilac to it while her hair had became much longer and not in the same hime cut it used to be. Two side bangs framed her face while a small part of it was tied in a green band and was braided making her hair look as if it was divided by a small line of braided hair in the middle. Her hair was clipped by a barrette that was the shape of a feather. Her smile which used to be gentle and kind has turned into a smirk that was mysterious. Her eyes no longer held it's shine and she was looking at Hanabi as if she didn't knew her at all. She noticed that her father and grandfather were looking at her the same way too and she couldn't help but wonder what her sister was thinking right now. She knew why her sister accepted the mission even if it had a high risk of her death. Her father had told them so that they didn't needed someone who couldn't even defeat a girl, five years her senior. Her sister had looked downcast at that again as she had been defeated by Hanabi for the third time and that was the last straw. Their father slapped her that made her lips bleed from the force and called her an indecisive faiure who was not needed by anyone but Hinata said nothing and just bowed her head before leaving the compound. She smiled then to her but she just looked at her with distaste and she hoped that she hadn't, she preferred that girl over this one whose eyes were cold and steely and whose voice was capable of making a hot water freeze.
"Shall we start waltzing now, heiress of the Hyuuga clan?"Hanabi looked at her without emotion but positioned herself in a fighting stance. She knew that her sister was the same no matter how changed she was and she had bested her sister in terms of the strength as a Hyuuga. They received no sign of approval from the Hokage who was busy arguing about Hinata.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk... I suppose then we shall have to wait a bit before we waltz then." Hanabi lowered her hands and stood up straight while looking at Hinata who was yawning and playing with a feather that she had created from her hand. Hanabi couldn't help but want to ask her why she was with the other village but she hadn't gotten the chance since Hinata spoke up to stop the quarrel between the two leaders which seemed pretty one-sided.
"Hokage-sama, if I may correct you, my loyalty has been severed the moment you buried me. I am no longer alive in the terms of Konoha but now, I am the daughter of my father, Tasuke Shijika. I am not a Hyuuga, nor am I a user of Byakugan, I have stopped using such techniques, three years ago. Besides, I am, after all not a part of this village, so will you stop dawdling and let us fight? I'm itching to spar with someone so strong..." Tsunade seemed taken aback by this and Hanabi had to admit that even she was shocked, betrayed at the very least but she knew that she had no right to feel that way, not after what she had done in the past.
"Let's start waltzing now, shall we?" And Hinata attacked Hanabi with such speed that she nearly fell down had she not used Rotation. She turned around and she saw Hinata standing on the opposite side, her hair at the moment just falling down. Her eyes had a mysterious glint while her mouth was in a smirk. Naruto and the rest were looking at her as if she had just risen from the dead... Well, technically, yes, Hinata had risen from the dead ,as in Konoha, she was buried already, dead and nothing more to Konoha and to their clan.
Hanabi turned around and looked at Hinata, she was flexing her arms as if she was readying herself to attack. Hanabi prepared her second stance and activated her bloodline again, she was able to see the chakra flow of Hinata and the points where she was suppose to hit her.
"Gentle Fist: 64 palms!" She moved in and attacked Hinata who didn't made an effort to block her attacks. As soon as she was done, she saw Hinata standing on the other side, her lips red with blood and looking at her with tears on her eyes. Hanabi and everyone was taken aback especially by what she said.
"H-hanabi-chan, why?" Hanabi looked at her sister and scanned the area, but she was not a genjutsu as everyone could see her nor was it a trap.
"Why did you looked at me with such emotionless and dead eyes? Was I not important to you too? Hanabi, tell me, why did you do it? It broke me you know, to see you look at me with disgust, with hatred. I could've been fine even if everybody around me called me weak, cheated behind my back." At this, Naruto flinched visibly while Tsunade hunched her shoulders before looking down and letting go of Tasuke's collar. Sasuke narrowed her eyes at what Hinata was saying while Ino looked down on the ground and tried to control her feelings and stop the tears from flowing.
They were met by silence and Hanabi sped across Hinata the moment she looked down, knowing that her chakra was blocked, to deliver the final blow, but Hinata was able to move and was faster. She anticipated the attack and dodged it before hitting her on the back with the palm of her hands. Hanabi fell to the ground but as easy as that, she stood up, as she glanced on the direction of her father and grandfather, they were both looking at Hinata, watching her every move.
Hanabi came in for the attack but Hinata just dodged them and that was when she realized something. Hinata was attacking, but only keeping her at bay, more like defense and she was the one on offense, just like when they were younger.
"Hinata-san, why are you on defense? Are you afraid that I'd defeat you again? Or maybe, you just don't have the heart to accept your destiny, but nevertheless, this will be my destiny. To defeat you, once more." She attacked Hinata who was looking down, her hair covering her eyes, as Hanabi came closer, she looked up and her eyes were in the same Byakugan as hers.
"Perhaps I will have to break the rule once more... But to fight you, means I need to fight you with the same bloodline I have promised not to used, so prepare yourself for the destiny that you were waiting for." Hanabi's eyes widened when Hinata passed by her with speed, they were evenly matched and it felt like deja vu again, however, this one ended differently as when she missed an attack, Hinata didn't hesitate, she went for it and hit her on the back ending with her lying on the ground, blood seeping out from her lips and her clothes tattered. Hinata approached her and Tsunade screamed for them to stop, but her hands drew nearer to Hanabi's broken form. Green chakra flowed to it and Hanabi flinched, but all she felt was a warm and wonderful feeling as if somebody was healing all her wounds, which was true. She opened her eyes and she saw Hinata's feet as it passed by her, she looked up and at that moment, caught a glimpse of Hinata looking at her with an unreadable expression.
"Hanabi-chan, are you alright?" Ino asked her the moment she stood up and walked towards her direction. She nodded stiffly and looked as Naruto began paling and looking at Hinata whose back was towards them. She looked up towards her father who was staring into the ground where the failure they all thought to be defeated her.
