I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ITS CHARACTERS!

Sorry for not updating lately been busy with school and stuff. enjoy and review

It has been two weeks since I ran away, and it has been the best two weeks of my life. During the time I've lived at Kurenai's house, I've been extremely happy. I've even met Kurenai's fiancé Asuma. We had a very eventful first meeting.

(Flashback)

I was down stairs getting a drink of water at night. Asuma had just come home from work, so I guess I didn't hear the door open and close. He came into the kitchen and hugged me from behind. I froze, he then started to kiss my neck and feel me up. Right then and there I freaked out and screamed. I grabbed the nearest object to defend myself with. Which just so happen to be the frying pan that Kurenai placed on the counter, that way she wouldn't have to search for it in the morning, and swung as hard as I could. All I heard next was a groan, a thud, and the sound of footsteps running really fast. When Kurenai came into the kitchen, and turned on the light. She was wielding a metal bat. She found me panting hard, frying pan raised mid-air ready to swing again if necessary, and her husband – to – be unconscious on the floor. "Asuma!" she yelled alarmed.

"Asuma? Your fiancé! Oh I am so sorry. I didn't know."

"It's ok Hinata he probably thought you were me in the dark" she reassured. Asuma had started to stir, and moan in pain.

"What hit me? Who are you?"

"Asuma this is Hinata she'll be living with us for awhile" she answered. "Why?"

(Flashback End)

Kurenai told Asuma my situation. Ever since then, Asuma has been treating me like his own daughter, and though I tell him that he doesn't have to. Today Kurenai thought that it was time I visit my aunt, and tell her everything. We drove to my aunt's house, as we parked in front of the house, some happy memories at this house flashed through my mind, as we got out the car, walked up to the door my heart rate sped up. When someone opened the door, my heart skipped a beat. "Hello?" is all I heard before I passed out from the stressful situation.

I started to stir awake." Mother she's starting to wake up." A male voice reported.

I open my eyes, and blinked to adjust to the stream of bright light that decided to attack my eye sockets. After my eyes adjusted I saw standing above me my cousin Neji. He had long brown locks, and the same pupil-less eyes as I do; only his are whiter than mine, which seem to have a tinge of lavender. "Neji?" I sat up, but not to quickly, or I might get dizzy.

"Hinata, how are you feeling?" asked my aunt Hikari, who had just entered the room, followed by Kurenai. Before I could say hi to aunt Hikari, she tackled me into a suffocating, but loving hug.

"Hinata, I'm so sorry. Ms. Yuuhi told me everything that happened. I just can't believe Hiashi could change so much."

"Aunty Hikari how is Hanabi?" and as if on cue Hanabi came through the front door saying "I'm home."

When she got to the living room, she froze and looked directly at me. We stared into one another's eyes. I tried to read her emotions, but if she inherited one thing from our father, it was his emotionless mask. The tension in the air was thick and heavy. So much so, that I almost choked on the words that I forced back down my throat. Next thing I know Hanabi is hugging me with twin waterfalls rushing from her eyeballs. I embrace her back and cry silently with her.

"I missed you so much Hinata." She cried out.

The small smile on my face faltered a little. I had forgotten that Hanabi did not know the type of man that father had become. Slowly pulling back from the hug, I looked at the eyes of the people who knew of the current situation, quickly looking at all of them for answers.

"What's wrong?" asked Hanabi looking a little worried. "Did something happen to father?" I cringed back a little, but this did not go unnoticed by anyone, especially Hanabi. Now she looked really scared.

"What happened to father? Tell me!" she was starting to cry even more, and becoming slightly hysterical.

"Hanabi, calm down father is all right." I replied.

I ran through my mind how to tell her about the situation, but the truth seemed like the best way to go.

"Hanabi," I take a deep breathe "father has become an alcoholic and he hit and abused me."

"What?" disbelief thick in her voice and the dominant emotion on her face.

The pause after that was deadly silent. She started to detangle herself from me. She looked me in the eyes and backed away a little, not far.

"W-Why would father do that? I don't believe you!" yelled Hanabi.

Tears started to swell up in my eyes, making them glisten.

"Hanabi, I know you don't want to believe it, but it's true. Father he, he didn't take mother's death very well, and then turned to liquor to cope with it." Sitting up and trying to stand up, I stood before Hanabi knowing what she was going to see would shock her greatly. I began taking off my shirt "This was its result." I said as I was now only clad in only my bra.

There were gasps and a few cries. Opening my eyes to take in there faces. Kurenai looked shocked, must be because she has never seen my abused body. Aunt Hitomi was withered away with tears uncontrollably falling out, making two heavy streams run down her face. Neji looked angry, if not murderous and shocked. Finally I look at Hanabi, she was shaking her head.

"Oh...My…God." she was on the verge of creating a new set of tears as she fell to her knees looking defeated.

"W-Wh-When did this start happening?"

" It was a few months after the funeral. I noticed he started to drink more. He started to-"

"Wait, then why did I never get hit, I was there for those months after the funeral."

"I lied to Aunt Hitomi, saying you needed a mother figure, since you lost mother so young, that way he would never touch you. I'd be damned if I let him touch you and let you live an abused childhood!" I yelled just as much as I declared.
