I do not own Naruto
Chapter 23: Visitation
She wanted answers, he was the only person who had it. She didn't want to see his face, but it was inevitable. This was coming to her and it was only just a matter of time.
Hinata was making her way through Konoha's Prison to visit her father. After the court hearing, she felt the need to speak with him. So many thoughts were going through her head, she had no clue what to think or what to say.
She didn't tell Naruto she was coming here because he would've went mad and talk her out of it. She didn't want to put that stress on herself and her blonde boyfriend. As long as she knew it, it would be perfectly fine and then she could tell Naruto about it. Hinata didn't like hiding things from Naruto but this was an exception. She had to see her father on her own terms.
"Name." the prison guard asked Hinata.
"Hyuuga Hiashi."
"May I ask who you are?"
"Hyuuga Hinata."
"Your old man has been expecting you. Let's not keep him waiting, am I right?" The prison gaurd said and Hinata nodded in agreement.
With that the prison guard escorted Hinata to her father's cell. The convicts gave Hinata weird stares and sometimes said things, but Hinata blocked them out. There was only one voice she wanted to hear at the moment.
"Hyuuga, your daughter is here to visit you."
"Estranged daughter, you mean." Hiashi grumbled.
"I'll leave you two to your conversation. Miss Hyuuga, you can come to the front desk when you're ready." the prison guard told Hinata before he left to do work.
"What do you want?" Hiashi groaned.
"Answers."
"Ah, I knew this day was going to come," Hiashi said as he sat in his chair. "And I think I know what you want to ask me."
"There's alot of things, Otou-san. And you're going to answer each and every single one I throw at you." Hinata demanded.
"Hmph, spit it out."
"Why did you want my baby dead?" she spoke sternly.
"As a father and as clan leader, I cannot afford to let the Hyuuga secrets out of the clan. Therefore, I was doing what was best for everybody else." he said cooly.
"That wasn't your decision to make."
"Your demon spawn would've possessed the byukugan. That stays within the Hyuuga."
"Don't you get it? My baby isn't yours, okay. It isn't Hyuuga, it's Uzumaki. I know you only had Matsu-sensei intensify my training because you're still pissed that I stayed with Naruto."
"You're absolutely right. I hate the fact that you chose him over the clan, but that isn't the reason why I supposedly killed your child."
"You hate me so much, you've always have! A-And when mother passed, you just kept your hate for me growing."
"Don' . .This." he stood up.
"You know it's true though! I love Naruto and I loved my baby! You took that away from me!" she yelled as she began to shed tears, "Naruto is still by my side but I can't even look at him without feeling his pain! Pain you've caused!"
"You have no idea what love is. Don't you even dare speak to me like I stole something from you, you're young and ignorant. You don't have the slightest clue as to what love is." he spat.
"I know what love is because of mother and nii-san and Naruto-kun! They taught me these things and I will never forget it. I know that what I feel is love because as much as you hate me, I can never hate you! As hard as I try, it's impossible!"
"Because I'm your father. We will always have that bond." he said plainly.
"That's the thing... You don't even see me as your daughter." Hinata whispered.
And those were the last words she said to him before she took off. Those words were forever imprinted into the depths of his soul.
She couldn't have been any more right than she was. He truly never saw her as his, only his wife's. Not a single time has he held her, rocked her to sleep, comfort her. All he did was cause pain to her.
Even with all the guilt that should be felt, he didn't feel. He didn't feel her pain, he didn't feel any sort of love for his daughter. What was he?
Hiashi plopped down into his chair and just stared at the wall before him. He had no idea of what a man he became.
Hinata sat in her car balling her eyes out. She felt so many feelings at once. She felt anger, confusion, grief, and sadness all together. She somewhat regretted visiting Hiashi but she knew this was for the best. It was all part of the process of letting go.
She turned her car on and sped off to Naruto's house. He deserved to know what happened today since she left him in the clouds. She wondered if he would be angry and upset that she didn't tell him sooner, but she can't change the course of history.
It took about fifteen minutes to arrive at his home and she quickly walked to his door and knocked on it.
"Hinata! I've been worried sick about you! Why didn't you answer your ph-" Naruto rambled before he was interrupted by Hinata's embrace.
"Naruto-kun..."
"What happened?"
She broke the hug and stared into his deep blue eyes and told him the truth.
"I-I went to see my father today.."
"Hinata..."
"Naruto-kun, I wanted answers... I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I didn't because I knew you'd talk me out of it."
"Was it even worth it?"
"Hm?"
"Did you get what you wanted?"
"Not exactly... But it only made me realize that he has actually lost his mind."
"Hmph."
"You're mad at me aren't you..."
"I'm sorry Hinata... I don't trust him around you." he admitted.
"That's just ridiculous."
"Hinata, h-he touched you... A-And you expect me to be okay with you being alone with him?"
"I thought you learned to forgive him for that!"
"Just because I forgave doesn't mean I will forget what he did to you."
"I understand." she looked away.
"Hey," he lifted her chin "Yes, I'm a little upset that you didn't tell me that you were going to go see him... But I know you needed this for yourself and I need to accept that."
She kissed him softly and embraced him again. He always had a way of knowing what troubled her like she knew for him. That's how she knows, how they both know, that what they have wasn't like everybody else.
They are soul mates.
