Road to Hinata
Hello, there! Welcome back! Sorry for not updating soon enough because I'm lazy, sigh. I might not be able to update this story as much as I like to because I still haven't finished Impossible, my other fanfic. So forgive me, okay. Don't hate me too much. *fake cries*
Okay anyways…
ONWARDS!

Chapter 2: What the hell?
Hinata walked home to the Hyuuga compound, wiping a few dried tears from her face. Her heart broke apart when Naruto— er, Menma called her a stupid girl. Why was he acting like Sasuke? And why did Kiba-kun ask what she was wearing? And why does Shino hate bugs? Why is Sakura so fidgety all of a sudden?
Not noticing where she was walking, she absently ran into a branch member. The branch member quickly bowed on the floor, his face brushing against the finely polished wood.
"Hinata-sama!" His body cowered. "Forgive me! Please don't smite me!"
"Ano, I forgive you. P-please don't bow to me like that. It's okay…" Hinata cocked her head to the side. "Rise honorable Hyuuga."
The Hyuuga gave her a skeptical look before rushing up to his feet, bowing again, then leaving in a rush. Hinata was certainly baffled. She walked along the dimly lit hallways, listening to her own feet pad on the polished wood. She took her time getting to her room, enjoying the silence.
"Hinata-sama!" Hanabi popped out from the corner Hinata was about to turn into.
"Hello, Hanabi-chan." Hinata smiled at her younger sister. "Isn't it kind of late for you to be out of bed? Father will be displeased."
"Hinata-sama… Please don't activate my seal… Please d-don't tell father." Hanabi's pearl eyes watered. Hinata's brows scrunched and examined her little sibling. She extended a hand to move her sister's fringe from her face. Hanabi winced at her sister's touch, as if she stung her. Hinata gasped when her eyes laid upon Hanabi's forehead. Where bare skin should be, the curse mark of the caged bird was scarred on her skin.
Hinata wasn't the best sister to Hanabi. She was always so mean and rude to her that she feared her. Hinata even went so far as to put a curse seal on her and threatened to kill their father if he didn't. Hanabi stared at her sister's odd reaction.
"Hanabi-chan, why do you have this?!" Hinata panicked, her voice above a whisper.
"Hinata-sama… You are th-the older sibling and I am not. It is law that I must b-be branded with it…" Hanabi back-pedalled from Hinata.
Hinata couldn't believe her eyes and ears. "But Hanabi-chan, even if I am qualified as heiress, you are still not of age to receive it."
"Demo, Hinata-sama… You are more than qualified… And you demanded to have the seal placed on me."
Hinata has heard enough. She left Hanabi standing in the hallway. She ran through the Hyuuga estate to consult her father, to have Hanabi's seal removed at once. Twisting and turning in the hallways, she made it to her father's study. She was more than mortified to even remember her manners and barged into the room with a very demanding voice.
"Father, what is the meaning of Hanabi's curse seal?!"
"AAAAAHHH, HINATA-SAMA, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" The Hyuuga leader pounced to hide behind his desk. His usual stoic façade was filled with terror as he stared at his daughter wide-eyed.
"Father? I do not understand. I will not hurt you…" Hinata walked further into the room. Hinata has never seen her father show a single emotion on his Hyuuga statuesque face, much less cower in fear.
Did she hear mumbling? She activated her Byakugan and nearly laughed out loud when she saw her father comically sobbing into his hands. Not knowing what to do, because she's never dealt with a crying, emotionally unstable Hiashi before, she walked over to her father and kneeled next to him. She placed a gentle arm over his quivering shoulders and placed a comforting kiss on her forehead.
"Good night, father." She said reassuringly before leaving the room awkwardly. Her father stared after his daughter, after confirming she wasn't looking his way anymore.
This is probably some horrible dream. Or maybe I'm just tired and seeing things.
Hinata decided it would be best to go to bed. She shook off her shinobi wear and threw them in her hamper. Turning on the warm water, she swore she heard groaning sounds in the other room. She shook off the feeling and stepped into the inviting shower.
-Page Break-
Hinata trudged along the Hyuuga compound. Since when does Menma go by 'Naruto'? And why does Kiba like Akamaru? Shino liked bugs? And there is NOTHINGo wrong with what she was wearing. She nearly blew her top when she saw a branch member pass by and didn't even look at her.
Who do these bastards think they are?!
Suddenly, a black blur ran into her as she turned the corner. It was her weakling sister, Hanabi.
"Watch where you're going, Hinata." Hanabi rolled her lavender-hued eyes. Hanabi side stepped her older sister to continue down the hallway. Hinata did not and would not have that. Holding up the hand sign to activate the curse seal to put her sister in place, she nearly fell over when nothing happened.
"What the hell?!" Hinata screeched. "You're supposed to be on the floor, you disrespectful brat!"
"Hinata, what are you talking about?" Hanabi turned back to look at her sister with confused eyes.
"Why aren't you calling me 'Hinata-sama'?" Hinata glared at the small girl.
"Um, because I don't have to?" Hanabi raised a brow.
"Look, little bitch, I have no idea how you got that curse seal off your stupid face but you will regret it." Hinata turned her heel and went straight into the direction of her father's room.
Hanabi was at a loss of words. First of all, when did her nee-chan demand to be called 'Hinata-sama'? She actually hated being called that. Second, she has never heard Hinata curse. Ever. Third, curse seal? What curse seal?
Hanabi shook her head. Maybe she was seeing things.
Hinata didn't even bother knocking on her father's door. The bastard didn't deserve to know that she was even coming. Instead, she kicked the door open, causing it to be knocked off its frame.
"Hiashi, you damned idiot, how dare you remove the seal from Hanabi's forehead?!" Hinata seethed.
Hiashi was extremely surprised by this. His daughter, Hinata to be specific, just did three things he never would have expected. One, she threw his door open. Two, she shouted at him. And three, she insulted him. Hiashi didn't show his shock and instead raised a brow.
"What do you mean, daughter?" His lips were pressed into a hard line.
"You know what I mean, you fucking retard. You took Hanabi's curse seal off, didn't you? I am the heiress, what I say goes! That applies to you, too, you geezer!" Hinata bit Hiashi's head off. "Hiashi, if you don't put it back on her forehead, I swear, I will kill you."
Hinata's aura was tainted black and killing intent was clear in her opalescent eyes. Hiashi has never seen his daughter like this. He actually gulped. The Hyuuga head kept silent, hoping that she would just go away. Hinata took his silence as defiance.
"You fucking shit, Hiashi!" She lunged at her father's desk and slammed a fist down. With scary Sakura-like strength, the desk splintered into different pieces and exploded in the room. "If Hanabi's seal isn't back by tomorrow at dinner, I will finish you faster than a cheesecake!"
Hinata stalked out of the study with a huff. Hiashi sweatdropped as he watched his daughter's hair swish away. He was stiffly grabbing onto his office chair for dear life. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Hiashi is scared shitless.
The blue-haired girl marched angrily in the hall towards her room. Before she entered, her cousin Neji stepped out of his to confront her.
"Are you alright, Hinata-sama?" His ever studious eyes examined her face. "You are making a lot of noise. Are you angry?"
"I'm fine, Neji." She rudely replied.
"Would you like to talk about it?" He tested her.
"I said I'm fine! Get the fuck off!" She entered her room and slammed the door shut. Hinata flung her clothes onto the floor of her room and entered her shower, bathing in ice-cold water. Activating her Byakugan, she saw her cousin return to his room as was sound asleep right next door to her room.
Author's notes: Hehehe, so how was my second chapter? Hopefully not as terrible. It's not as long as I hoped it would be but it will do. Review!
