It was a day before the grand acknowledgement ceremony of the Yuu clan. Indeed Hinata was very busy today. Luckily all the servants were very cooperative as usual. Her grandma was behaving very well since Nobuku was with her. Hinata was very excited as well because the rest of her relatives from the Yuu clan would be arriving any time of the day.
Hinata was currently in her office making sure all the invitations were sent. She has invited everyone in the leaf village, even the one who've caused her great pain but it was the betterment of the Yuu clan to be known to everyone. She even invited the Hyuugas.
"HIIINNNNAAATAAA-CHAN!" a familiar voice was shouting from the hallways. Suddenly a young man with blonde hair and electric purple eyes came bursting in her office. It was none other than her younger cousin Isamu.
Hinata sweatdropped. "Hello Isamu-kun. It's nice seeing you again. I didn't expect you until later part of the day."said Hinata sweetly to her younger cousin.
"WAAAHHHHHHHHH, Hina-onee-chan doesn't miss me at all." Isamu replied as fake tears rolled down from his eyes.
"Of course I missed you. How could I not I miss any of you? You were the people who made me feel wanted and love." Replied Hinata.
At that instant Isamu-kun stopped crying.
"Now now, let's go find your parents. I must welcome them from their journey." Hinata said to Isamu.
Downstairs Isamu's parents were admiring the preparations.
"They really out done themselves with the acknowledgement ceremony. Don't you think darling?" Akihiro said to his wife.
"Darling, I would agree to that. Everything looks so marvelous and splendid."replied Kamiko holding her husband's hand.
"Well it isn't the lovey dovey couple. No wonder why I have seven grandkids from you two."said Hikaru sheepishly.
The couple blushed at the comment made by the Yuu elder.
"Okaa-san you're embarrassing me again." Akihiro said to his mother.
"It's nice to see you again Mama." Kamiko greeted her spontaneous mother-in-law.
"It's nice to see you again my dear. I'm glad my son is married to a kind and understanding person like you…" Hikaru paused a bit and continued talking "unlike your sister Hanae…"
Akihiro was saddened by hearing his deceased sister's name. Her beautiful, strong and kind hearted sister. Kamiko was also saddened because her husband really looked up to his oneechan. Also, Hanae helped her in delivering her firstborn child, Hiroyuki.
Suddenly Isamu and Hinata came downstairs at the sight of Hinata, Kamiko was very well reminded of Hanae,Hinata's mother. She was the spitting image of her mother. She pitied the young girl for growing up in such an environment that treated her so badly. How she wasn't able to express herself properly due to her bastard of her father.
"Welcome!Auntie Kamiko and Uncle Akihiro. It's nice seeing you again. I'm guessing you must be tired from your journey.I'll let one of the wonderful servants escort you to your rooms." Hinata said.
"Hinata-chan it's good to see you again. My my you've gotten yourself more beautiful I must say. Isn't it right darling? A spotting image of your kaasan I must say."said Akihiro.
Hinata blushed furiously at the comment her uncle just said.
Kamiko replied to her husband, "Now now dear, you're embarrassing Hinata but you're right she indeed has gotten more beautiful and a spitting image of her mother."
"Hinata-chan it's good to see you again. I bet Isamu-kun has bothered you amidst your busy schedule. If you're wondering where his other siblings are, they're coming a little later part of the day with the other relatives." Kamiko said to Hinata while giving her hug.
"Auntie, Isamu-kun wasn't bothering me in fact he actually helped me with the invitations. He taught me a jutsu that morphed the papers into butterflies and the butterflies flew off to the people who were invited." Hinata replied.
Hikaru started laughing and said, "Ahh! I remember that jutsu. It was when I was too lazy to send invitations myself. Nobuku-san would always get mad at me for not doing the task in handing out the invitations."
Everyone sweatdropped at that moment for they knew that the Yuu elder was very spunky and playful.
Suddenly a wave seriousness surrounded them when Akihiro asked Hinata a question.
"Is your bastard of a father invited and that prideful clan of his, also the one you called "comrades" coming" he asked.
"Oh if they're coming, me, Nii-sans and Nee-chans are going to give them a piece of our minds for making Hinata onee-chan sad and miserable." Isamu said with determination in his eyes.
Hinata was grateful and happy for their love and protection they showed her.
Hinata giggled and replied to Isamu"Now, now Isamu there's no need for that. I've already caused quite a riot."
"Uncle Akihiro I did invited them. I wanted to let them know that I'm not the Hinata from before. I want them to know that I have changed. Also, I want everyone in Konoha to acknowledge or at least know that the Yuu clan is still very much alive and still a mighty and powerful clan." Hinata said.
Hikaru was so proud of her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was radiating with so much confidence and power right now. Like a Yuu should be.
"I'm very proud of you Hinata-chan. Not only me but the rest of the Yuu-clan as well." Akahiro said to Hinata.
They heard an "ehem" coming from Nobuku.
"I guess our faithful servants, no our friends, our companions since the Yuu-clan was established are very proud of you. My dear." Akahiro said patting Hinata's head.
A tear came down from Hinata's eyes. She was very happy she had found her true family that loved and cherished her. Who didn't judge her and willingly accepted her. She was even told the truth about her mother's death. Though they told her it would hurt her but she knew that if they told her about the truth she might become stronger. Actually her grandma told her.
Flashback…
It was on a sunny day Hinata and Hikaru just came back from training. They sat under the big oak tree. Hinata was feeling a great revelation was about to be told to her today. Then her grandmother began to spoke.
"Hinata-chan, my lovely granddaughter. It's about time you learn about your mother's death."her grandma said to her.
Hinata was silent.
"Are you ready to know the truth? The truth about everything." her grandma said in a serious voice.
Hinata simply nodded her head. She knew that she needed this no matter how painful the truth maybe.
"Hinata, my dear. Your mother loved you so much. We only saw you when you were measly months born. Your mother was also foolishly in love with your bastard of a father, Hiashi. Your mother believed in your father so much. She believed that she loved Hiashi and Hiashi loved her back. Your uncle has known Hiashi likes to play with the hearts of females but your mother did not believed him. They got married. At first Hiashi treated your mother very well. Then she got pregnant with you. Your father was glad that your mom was pregnant. Hiashi was expecting a male child. When you were born Hiashi was not happy. He did not get a male child but a lovely baby girl instead. Your mother was very happy when you were born. She thought that your father was also happy when you were born. About a couple of months have passed since you were born she decided to visit us. We were overjoyed to see you my dear. Your mother confided me in telling your father about the clan she came from. I told her it wouldn't be right since your uncle didn't approve of your mother's marriage with your father. You see my child when a member of the Yuu clan does not approve of a marriage of another clan member something bad is going to happen in the future and no matter how much a member would confide to her partner about the Yuu clan there would be no sound coming from her mouth."
Hinata gasped at the sudden thought. Which stopped Hikaru and patted her astonished granddaughter's head.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you Baa-baa-san." Hinata said meekly.
"It's okay my child. Let's see now where was I? Oh yes, your mother had returned back to the Hyuuga clan. She planned for years on telling her beloved husband the truth of what clan she came from .She tried so many times. But ended in failure. Then it was on that day that you're mother heart was totally broken. She saw your father with another woman from the branch house of that clan. Your father was holding another woman in his arms. You were to young Hinata at that time. Your mother told you that she was pregnant and that she had to go somewhere in the mountains to make sure the baby was alright. But Hinata your mother came to us with a broken heart. A broken heart caused her death not because of child birth. Your father knew the reason why your mother die but he didn't even bother apologize. After your mother's death I personally came to him and asked if I could bring you back to your mother's clan. Your father refused simply because you possessed the Byakugan and that I was just trying to steal your kekkei genkai. I tried telling him that I was Hanae's mother but he wouldn't believe me. He told me he will kill you if I ever bother or come near the Hyuuga clan. I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let my precious granddaughter die. The only thing that was very precious to Hanea." Hikaru said as tears falling from her eyes.
Hinata was now in shock and started to cry as well. She embraced her grandmother as both of them sought each other's comfort. But Hinata felt lighter, she felt the invisible shackles were gone. The truth was hard to take all of it. It revealed to her everything she needed to know. Then they returned to the Yuu's compound. Everyone comforted her by letting her cry it all out in her room. When she came out of her room everyone worked very hard in cheering her up. That was the day she felt truly loved, cherished and confidence. She had finally found a place where she had belonged.
