Have any of you heard of Sakura by Ikimono Gakari? God that song is beautiful, well at least I think it is and it's also started to make me like Sakura Haruno more. Also I've started watching Shippuden, I mean I know what happens and all throughout the whole thing until the 'Naruto learns how to control nine tails' part but I haven't seen the anime so I'm borrowing it from a friend of mines :)

Rebirth

Chapter 5: Between life and Death

Waking up at four in the morning was a pain in the ass. The apartment was cold but at least a hot shower made everything better for the pearly eyed woman. She dressed appropiately for work and practiced her speech in the mirror. Today was the day.

"Hn," her head cocked to the side, "Decided to not call in sick today."

"Uhh, yes-I mean no," Hinata's cheeks burned red, "Good m-morning Sa-S-Sasuke," she didn't really know how to act around this man, hell, what should she even think about when she thought of him or saw him; well, this wasn't really his fault why she was seeing ghosts, right? He might of had something to do with Uchihas but it's not like he's controlling them to haunt her. Hinata avoided Sasuke's beady gaze and thought back to what Naruto had said to her yesterday. Naruto. She could never face Naruto again, last night when he shook her shoulders to wake her up from her daze she had screamed and scratched him then apologized a million. She would never be able to look into those beautiful azure eyes anymore without him looking down on her, it's all because of those people. Yes. Yes it was their fault. But everything didn't make any-

"What's your problem," onyx eyes glared into lavender ones, "Freak," was what Hinata heard come out of the man's lips. He soon left the subway and Hinata followed.

"God this sucks like shit," Kiba complained, "He expects us to be here at fuckin five in the morning then doesn't even show up!" The brunette ruffled and dug in between the roots of his hair angrily, "Goddamn Kakashi," Hinata glanced behind her shoulder at a certain blonde. Three long red lines descended down his face along with the other six on each side of his cheeks. Naruto slept like a five year old kid, snoring loudly with drool dribbling down his parted lips and down his chin. He was cute. "Hey are you even listening to me?" Kiba ranted some more and Tenten tried to calm him down. The cast and crew members waited a couple more hours and Hinata's thoughts lingered about a similar face like hers in order to keep herself awake. She hadn't seen Neji for a while, last she heard he had been promoted as detective some place across town.

"Hello everybody," groans erupted from the audience and Kakashi chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic and when I finally got out of it I had to help an old lady cross the street and when we did, a black cat-"

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever old man," Naruto shouted and bursts of curses flew from his mouth.

"Alright gang, let's get this settled!" The director clapped his hands to get everyone's attention, "Shikamaru and Ino, you will be filming first today as well as Tenten, Kankuro and Rock Lee and Kiba."

"Yeah! I finally get to be filmed!" The guy named Kankuro fist pumped as Kurenai tried to fit his wig onto him properly.

Hinata watched silently from the side as Kiba, dressed as the man Fugaku, and he chatted with the Uchiha elders, which are Kankuro, Rock Lee and his girlfriend about forming a group against Konohagakure. Anger and wrath shown visibly through Kiba's beady eyes as he recited his lines, Hinata awe'd and smiled, she didnt know her friend was such a good actor.

"Why attack up front when we could sneak attack from the rear-" Hinata's smile turned into a frown, "-and surprise them then take over the village," was this movie really going like how the legend online said? But Naruto had said many contraversial things that went against it, what's real and what's fake? The Hyuga shook her head and held the palm of her hand on her forehead; she shouldn't worry about all this Uchiha bull no more because today was the day, yes, today was going to change her life like how she had planned last night. Kiba continued on argueing with his companions like he was supposed to from the script and Hinata sighed before stepping backwards and bumping into somebody.

"Hey watch it," another black haired girl yelled, "Don't you ever watch where you're going?" A harsh glare was reflected from Sakura's eyes as she quickly picked up her items she was carrying.

"I'm sorry Sakura," Hinata grabbed a peice of paper by her feet and Sakura snatched it away before she could read it, "You uh.. You make a good Hina Umenokouji actress and I'm sure you'll get somewhere great in life with acting," Sakura raised a brow then scoffed and started walking away to her destination, mumbling something about weirdos. A small smile placed itself on Hinata's lips as she stared at Sakura's retreating form.

Lunch break. Hinata zipped through the crowd of people munching on their food and paused for a second to recollect her thoughts. She had ditched Kiba and his friends to have a talk with Kakashi, but she couldn't find him anywhere! Hinata heard a voices inside Kakashi's office and she silently pressed her right ear against the door, "We will not go there, do you know how dangerous that can be?" Sasuke. It was Sasuke's voice. Hinata pressed her ear harder onto the wood in order to hear better, "That's like a fucken ghost town and I'm not going back there, especially if you're going to bring everyone. It's too-"

"This is risky and what will you benefit from this?" A new voice Hinata didn't recognize.

"I know it may be risky, but at least everyone will have a general idea of what it was like to live..." It got suddenly quiet and Hinata promptly wondered why they had stopped talking. The door to Kakashi's office swung open and she was met with a couple pairs of eyes. "We'll continue our discussion some other time," Sasuke glared at Hinata before 'accidently' bumping shoulders with her then leaving. The Hyuga rubbed her sore left collar bone and the socket joining her bones together and watched with wide eyes as Kakashi walked behind her to silently close his door then circle around her predatorously, "What did you hear from my previous conversation?" The Hyuga gulped and fiddled her index fingers together a little, she opened her mouth then closed it, "What was that Hinata?" She stared frighteningly at him, since when was Kakashi this scary? "Haha I'm just joking with you," he leaned on his desk with crossed arms, "So what's on your mind?"

"W-w-well," Hinata cleared her throat, "I want to qui-"

RINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG

"Oh lunch break's over, I guess we can talk about this after work, alright?" Hinata slumped in defeat. She had forgotten that she had spent an entire hour just looking for the director slash producer.

Hinata's stomach grumbled loudly and she groaned inwardly. She regretted looking for Kakashi during lunch break but at least now there's only a couple minutes left of work so she can finally do what she had wanted since twenty four hours ago and then go home and eat and sleep in peace. That was going to be a change in her life. No more ghosts and no more sleepless scary nights.

"What are you so happy about?" Naruto asked curiously from her side and she fidgeted nervously.

"S-sorry umm, sorry about last-"

"Nah it's fine Hinata," he laughed sheepishly and subconciously touched the scratch marks on his face, "So why that happy smile eh? I wanna smile at the joke or whatever you said or heard. Today's been hell, maybe it'll help."

"Uhh," Hinata glanced up and lost herself into blue eyes for a bit, "W-well, you see Naruto," she bit her finger as the bell rang. Saved by the bell, yes! "I'll tell you tomorrow," if there really was a tomorrow.

"Mind if I walk you home?" Before Hinata could reject Naruto he had smiled brightly and pointed his thumb to himself. Even with the scratches on his face he still looked good looking, "I'm going to crash at ol' pervy man's place tonight anyways-"

"Attention everyone," Kakashi spoke loudly on a microphone, "In a couple of days we will be going on a field trip, so pack up whatever you need," he then bolted out the door with another man following him, this was the guy from a couple months ago who gave her the papers to recite from during the try outs. Tomato was it? Or maybe Yomato? Something that rhymed with the word tomato.

"Che, what kind of explanation for a field trip is that? Where are we even going?" Naruto complained as they walked out of the building. Just thinking about walking together, side by side with Naruto would make Hinata's face boil but her mind wasn't on that topic right now, she was more concerned about what she had over heard earlier. Was the place they were going to dangerous? No, a ghost town like what Sasuke had said? "You alright Hinata?" Naruto placed a hand on her forehead.

Personal space. She needed personal space from this dude or she'd faint right here, right now, "What are you two love birds doing?" Hinata squeeked loudly as her face burned even a darker shade of red.

"Shuddap we're not! Don't you see you're scaring Hinata you old fart!"

"That's no way to talk to your boss now huh," Kakashi held both hands up defensively and his only visible eye crinkled as if he were smiling. Then Hinata remembered something.

"Mr. Hatake, I have something urgent to speak with you."

"Alright then, so what's up?" Hinata paused on the middle of the side walk in front of a candy store, "Hinata?" Kakashi and Naruto stared at her questionably.

"I.. Mr. Hatake I want to quit-"

"Hinata!" Someone screamed and tackled her. They both flew backwards and the older Hyuga landed on her back with the wind temporarily knocked out of her lungs, "Hinata are you alright? Hinata, you have to get out of your apartment and run away-"

"H-Hanabi what are you doing?" Hanabi paused and looked around herself then at her sister, "Are you f-feeling okay? Y-you l-look terrible," and she did. Hinata had never seen her sibling with bags underneath her eyes or crevices on her forehead; she looked like she was turning thirty instead of turning twenty.

"Hinata, yesterday," Hanabi's finger tips touched underneath her eyes, then traced a line, "I saw a man and he had lines right here," she continued tracing a line underneath each eye, "He had red eyes like a-like a-"

"Hey you crazy person get off of Hinata," Naruto pulled the younger Hyuga away from the older one.

"It's alright Naruto, this is my sister, Hanabi," Hinata gestured to her sister.

"Hinata! You-you're not listening to me!" Hanabi screamed, "Whatever it was yesterday, that thing or monster, its you!" Tears streamed down Hanabi's face, "You're that scary monster and you need to get rid of it or it'll control you!" Hinata had never seen Hanabi cry, not even when Grandmother, their caretaker who was like a mother to them when they were both younger, died. Hanabi just wasn't the type of person to... She was cold, stone cold; the very exact opposite of what Hinata was.

"Okay that's enough little girl," Kakashi helped Hinata stand up and asked if she were alright, "You know it's not polite to call people mean names-"

"I don't care, bu-but-but I want my sister back, that woman right there isn't my sister anymore," Hanabi backed away from Hinata and her co-workers.

"Hey don't go there-"

"No don't come near me!" Hanabi jerked from Naruto's grasp and she stumbled on her feet.

In the next minute, a loud horn honked and a thundering crash could be heard. Many eyes stare wide at the body lying flat on the pavement. Hinata was one of them, jaws opened partially.

Her first friend. Her love. Her blood. Dead. Not even a croak could erupt from her dry throat. "Holy shit! Someone call 911!" Everything was a blur, nothing could make any sense now. Hinata knew none but one thing though, tonight was something that would definately change her life forever. Damn Uchihas. They're cursed. They all deserved to die like how they did. In pain. Agony... Hatred.
