Chapter 13: Curse Seal and the Fight for Hinata
Hyuga Compound, 9:05 pm
"I own you Hinata."
"Like hell!" Takuya turned swiftly the door. Neji stood there, his Byakugan activated.
"Neji-niisan!"
"Get away from Hinata. Or I'll kill you!" Hinata looked towards the window.
"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun help me!" Takuya smirked. He gripped Hinata's hair tighter. She grimaced at the pain being enforced on her scalp.
"You forget that I have the advantage here…Branch member. And as for you-" He pointed to Naruto.
"How the hell did you get in here?"
"A friend let me in." Naruto jumped out the window to reveal a smirked Hanabi.
"If you think you'll ever get Hinata-neesama then you're wrong! I got him here and Neji-nii and Naruto-san are going to kick your ass!" Hinata smiled.
They really had come to help her!
They stood at a standstill. No one moving, either for fear of hurting Hinata more…or anticipation of the fight. Hands reached for their pouches…kunai were thrown.
Takuya slipped through a window grinning.
"We can't fight inside now, can we?"
"Naruto!"
"Shit! Hinata I'm coming!" Naruto turned towards Neji.
"What about you Neji? And Hanabi-chan?" The sound of footsteps could be heard in the hallway along with shouts.
"I'll be fine. Hanabi and I will talk to them." Neji smirked.
"We'll hold them off for as long as we can baka! You just worry about Hinata-neesan!"
--
"You think he'll use it?" Inquired the tall man. He sat on the window seat watching as his friend's plan unfolded.
"Of course…Takuya always did love to cause pain for others."
--
"You stay here and don't move an inch, got that, babe?" Takuya threw Hinata against the tree outside in the training yard. He turned to face Naruto.
"You want her? Come and get the bitch!"
"Don't talk about her like that!" Naruto yelled and charged. Takuya easily dodged his punches and kicks.
"You think you can beat me with a little taijutsu? You'll need more than that, Kyuubi container!" He taunted. Naruto drudged back…he knew about the Nine-Tailed Fox?
"Don't look so surprised! That day we met you should have never been so quick to show your anger. Your eyes turn red when you become enraged right? Right?!"
"What does it matter to you?"
"Not to me, but to Hinata." Naruto glanced over to her. Their eyes met and hers held nothing but love for him. They weren't afraid…she wasn't afraid of him.
"Naruto-kun! I'm not afraid of you!" Takuya glowered. How could she still love this beast? This guy had a demon sealed inside of him and she still loved him? Why?
"Pay attention, Uzumaki!" Takuya yelled.
"Agh!" Naruto flew across the training ground.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata ran towards her fallen lover.
"Hinata stay back, I don't want you to get hurt! Please, stay back!" Naruto was clutching his heavily bleeding arm. A huge gash ran across his arm, from his shoulder to his wrist.
The wound was deep. Very deep.
"Naruto!" Hinata turned to the voice. Neji stood between them and Takuya.
"You in my way, Neji!" Takuya yelled.
"I'm your opponent now." Takuya smiled.
"Fighting you would be a waste of time. How about I-"Takuya formed a hand sign.
"Just kill you now?!" Hinata's eyes widened. No…he couldn't have…
"Agh, ack!"
"Neji-niisan!" Hinata stood from her place beside Naruto. Neji's screams filled the air.
Pain. Antagonizing pain. He grabbed his head; falling to his knees. The Curse Seal glowing bright. So bright…
"Neji-niisan! Stop it Takuya! Stop it!"
"AGH!" Neji collapsed to the ground. The pain…surging through his brain…piercing his being. Unbearable…
"Uhh-aaa! Ahhhh!"
"Please, stop!" Hinata's eyes filled with tears. Was this how it all was going to end? Would this be the end of everything?
Hinata…even while you're in my womb…my little Hinata…
Remember what I taught you?
How inner strength…can overcome anything…love can overcome anything. I told you this all the time…while you still lay in me.
Love…Hinata can overcome anything. Love, my little one…is the secret to all things…I love you, Hinata. Learn to love those you hate…love more than anyone!
Mother…
"Curse Seal…" Naruto looked up.
"Hinata! If that guy keeps doing that Neji will die!"
"I know, Naruto-kun. I know what I have to do."Naruto nodded.
"I love you, Naruto-kun."
"I love you too, Hinata. Don't worry…I'll back you up!" Hinata ran towards Neji.
"Oh, no you don't you, bitch!"
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto called out.
Takuya threw shuriken. She dodged them. The clones circled around her, fending off his attacks. She was strong. She was fast. She was angry.
"Takuya!" Hinata appeared behind him.
"Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
"Rasengan!"
"AGH!" Takuya flew across the courtyard. Hinata stood there, out of breath panting. She dropped to one knee. Naruto knelt by her side supporting her.
"Onee-san!" Hanabi ran to Hinata. She knelt down to her older sister.
"They're-they're too many of them! The Main and the Branch! T-their fighting!" Hinata jerked up. They….the two houses were fighting!?
"Hinata-neesan, we have to get out of here now before any of us get hurt! A-and Neji! He's-!" Another scream filled the air. Hinata's eyes teared…Neji…
"Hinata…I'll take care of Hanabi-chan! You go help Neji! Hurry before it's too late! Hurry!" Naruto pushed in the direction of the cries.
"Neji-niisan! I'm going to help you!" The sound of battle from all over the compound flew around them. The clan had been thrown into a mass rebellion.
Just as planned. A clan thrown into chaos…a perfectly good disaster.
--
"So…the separation of Main and Branch, huh?"
"There's more to it that. Much more."
--
"Neji-niisan you have to look at me please! Please, Neji-niisan!" Hinata held Neji's vehemently shaking form in her small, slender arms. She had no idea that the Curse Seal was this powerful…and terrifyingly painful.
"Neji-niisan! I-I can help you, but you have to look at me! Please!" Hinata gripped Neji's shoulders tightly.
He managed to meet her gaze, his eyes were blanking out…and his expression was one of pure torture. He could hardly keep looking at her.
The pain was that great.
"H-H-Hinata-s-aagh! Uhh! Agh! Another wave of agony split through his skull. Tears so numeral fell from his eyes it seemed as if she was looking into an unending waterfall of sorrow.
Hinata laid her hand between her forehead and the Seal.
"Curse Mark Binding Technique 33!"
Hinata placed her tears on the Curse Mark.
"Binding 33!" As if time stopped, Neji's cries ceased.
But Hinata…was falling into darkness. Full of pain…antagonizing pain.
Killing pain.
