CHAPTER THREE: SMILE FOR ME FATHER...
Hinata got up the next morning with a small smile on her stitched face. She looked around at the bloody cell that became her home all these years, this dark cell that she grew up in. Looking back at it now, this blood tainted place held so many painful memories. Memories of mutilation , memories of a small child crying alone in the shadows and the fear that consumed her each night she lay in wait dreading the return of her other self...but today would be different. Today was the day she would cast aside those fears and become one with the demon inside her...
Hinata looked down at the shackles on her ankles, shackles that were tainted with her blood all these years. The pale girl smiled softly, caressing the dried up blood on the metallic chains. Before she would wonder why her mother had cursed her this way, why her mother wanted this pain for her child,but, Hinata now realized that revenge and freedom could only be achieved by one person...yourself. Not your friends, not the authorities, not even God...
That is why instead of waiting and taking all this abuse and pain, Hinata would free herself today and avenge her mother for all the pain they both suffered at the hands of those monsters. Yes. She was not the monster here, they were.
The cell door creaked open as Hiashi unlocked it and threw the rusted keys at his daughters face, the keys stinging her cheek as they fell on her lap. Hinata picked up the keys and began to free herself from her shackles, she limply stood up and bowed her head before her father, eyes blank without emotion. After today, all of this would end...so for now, she would just have to wait...
Hiashi hardened his eyes in distaste as the pale girl meekly gave him back the keys.
"Today we are having the Uchiha over to discuss the marriage for your sister. Make sure you are nowhere in sight . Am I clear? They better not be another mistake like last time!", Hiashi spat out, turning to take his leave.
Hinata nodded and waited for his presence to disappear before making her way to rinse herself off with the cold water her father left outside. She stripped off her tattered dress and began wiping down her body with a small rag and the water provided.
Her sisters marriage...
The thought made her fume inside. Hanabi was only twelve and they were already marrying her off to the Uchiha clan, but she had no time to worry about her sister. After today, she will never see the little sister that shes loved so dearly all these years because after today she will finally be free of all the things that tied her down...
Hinata ran her hands down the black stitches on her body, each stitch that held her fragile frame together, each stitch that held a sad part of her life story. She wondered how things might have been if she were to be born in another life, maybe she and Naruto would have ended up together? Maybe she would have lived with Neji and Hanabi and her father and mother as a happy family?
Hinata smiled at the thought but then she frowned, this was not a fairytale, this was reality.
She silently put on her tattered dress and made her way to sit in the corner by the small window that was her only link to the outside world. She could not start cleaning yet since the guests were arriving. She would have to wait here until they were gone in order to avoid another happening like last time. Hinata did not want to encounter Fugaku again.
The pale girl sighed as she looked out the window. It was probably just about noon, only twelve more hours until midnight...
"Come have a seat!", Nomiko gushed as she lead the young man towards the living room, her heels clacking with every step she took.
The four guests sat down and waited for Hiashi to arrive. Mikoto smiled politely and Fugaku nodded his head as he took a seat next to his wife.
Itachi looked as expressionless as ever, in all honesty, he did not want to be here surrounded by these fake people. Looking at his brother now, only he knew the real reason Sasuke accepted this proposal. Itachi knew his younger brother better than anyone else in this world, and while Sasuke may deny it...The real reason he came today was to see that girl.
Hyuga Hinata
Sasuke's first love...
Itachi internally sighed at the thought. Even when their father had said that the Hyuga girl had a mental disease and that marriage was impossible with her, Sasuke had still remained stubborn, accepting this ridiculous marriage all in the hopes of seeing that girl again.
It was a real pity that things had to turn out this way...a real pity indeed.
This whole first love scenario was cute was Sasuke was small. It was cute when Itachi would catch him staring at a pale timid girl caring for the flowers and blush. It was cute then, but to have carried that childlike infatuation up till now and to have ended up in such a situation was not cute at all, it was just sad.
Itachi didn't want his little brother to be throwing away his happiness, to be engaged to a twelve year old girl when there was so many opportunities waiting for him was a real shame. Even if it pleased their father, Sasuke's happiness would make Itachi feel even better then knowing he was throwing away all of that today.
For the sake of the Uchiha clan...For the sake of seeing that girl one last time...
"Thank you for coming", Hiashi stepped in to the room, behind him trailed his daughter dressed in a plain white kimono with her hair pinned up. Itachi snapped out of his thoughts and took that moment to observe the younger Hyuga as he stood up to bow before the Hyuga head, the only comment that came to mind was 'different'
This girl was the complete opposite of that shy little Hyuga he remembered from the past. Hanabi was tanned, with strong features and a hardened gaze. The flowers adorned in her hair and the elegance of the kimono did nothing to soften her features.
"My daughter, Hyuga Hanabi", Hiashi bowed before Fugaku, Hanabi following her fathers lead.
"Ahh Hanabi chan, You have grown so much since I last saw you", Mikoto smiled gently at the small girl who bowed her head in thanks.
"Well let us begin then", Fugaku nodded his head at his friend and they both sat down.
Sasuke cleared his throat and Itachi internally sighed once again, knowing what was to come next. " Hyuga san, why is Hinata not present?", Sasuke asked with a small frown. Hiashi hardened his gaze , "She does not need to be here, she is an embarrassment to our name", Hiashi spoke those words with such cold indifference that even Itachi felt anger well up within him. This man was speaking about his own child as if she was nothing more than dirt.
"Nevertheless I wish to see her", Sasuke stated. not a request, but a command.
"Sasuke!", Fugaku reprimanded his son, turning to face Hiashi, " I am so sorry about this, my son has no manners-"
"Its alright Fugaku, I will bring Hinata up and show young Sasuke just what a shame she is."
"Really there is no need to," Fugaku said. Knowing just how much of a commotion it would cause. He wanted to at least spare Hinata Chan the pain of being degraded in front of his family.
"No, I think I will bring her out. Nomiko, send for a maid to fetch Hinata", Hiashi commanded and Nomiko smiled delightedly in return.
The four Uchiha's remained silent, the atmosphere now tense and uncomfortable.
...
It was about ten minutes later when a quiet Hinata had appeared, head down as she bowed before the guests. Mikoto had gaspes , Sasuke had looked shocked too, it was only Itachi who remained indifferent and bowed back.
Hinata internally sighed, this was obviously supposed to be a situation where she became embarrassed and weepy, but, much to the disappointment of Nomiko and Hiashi, she was calm about everything. That was because she had now already accepted herself and the demon inside her. what was there to be be embarrassed about?
"H...Hinata san", The pale girl looked up from where she was standing at a handsome dark haired teenager. He gazed at her with intense eyes. she could not decipher the meaning behind them.
"Hai Uchiha san", She spoke softly and demurely , not even stuttering. "Sasuke is fine", the dark haired man complied before raising his eyes to meet hers, "howdid you get those stitches?".
Hinata stilled as did everyone else in the room. " I..I had an accident with the kitchen knifes when I was small...", she trailed off, parroting her fathers words. Even as she said them, she felt disgust and hate course through her.
"ahh that must have been horrible, but even so you still look pretty Hinata chan", Mikoto spoke tenderly, her smile sincere. Hinata nodded at her compliment and remained standing as they continued to discuss her sisters marriage. She could feel Sasuke staring at her throughout the whole process and it made her uncomfortable.
pretty? what lies.
Hinata just wanted this to be over with and she was thankful when they had finally decided to leave bowing before excusing themselves.
Sasuke had turned back to catch a glimpse of her before leaving, one thought running through his mind.
She's still beautiful
...
"Get in the cell...NOW!", Hiashi hissed, his face breaking out of its calm demeanor into an angry scowl. He was seething, probably because instead of the embarrassment he had anticipated, there was none. Hinata didn't cry, she remained calm and normal.
"Hai", She followed behind her father. They had reached the cell and he threw her inside, slamming the door behind him. He gave the pale girl a shove and shackled her feet to the wall. Taking a step back with a sneer as he looked down on her.
"You are going to go this ball, and this time you will shame yourself!", Hinata kept quiet as he continued on.
"I think its good. People will see the monstrosity of your features, the freak that you are!", He continued on, talking and degrading her with his hateful words. It was now 11:30...interesting. Hinata didn't realize it took that long for him to chain her up.
"See the disgusting rag doll? you think they will feel sympathy for you? please, you are NOTHING! WORTHLESS! The prince will probably order his guards to get rid of you!"anger built within Hinata as her eyes once again flickered to the clock. She could hear the words but her mind was elsewhere, anticipating what was to come.
"DISGRACE!", The clock striked twelve and Hiashi froze as her eyes met with his, a small smile spreading along her lips as her eyes began to darken. She stepped forwards, feet easily slipping out of its shackles as she was so thin. He stood frozen in shock and she smirked, this only made things easier...
He seemed to realize what was happening, but it was too late. Hinata's hand shot forwards, wrapping around his wrist, the nails digging in to the tender flesh and drawing blood.
Hiashi cried out, "HOW DARE YOU!", But the girl merely laughed, the nail on her thumb digging in to the vein. The pain made Hiashi writhe in agony and she took that opportunity to slam her hand in his mouth.
An attempt to bite her hand only made her chuckle. The blood that ran down her wrist was merely warming her body.
Fear, despair, oh how she loved the emotions that played across his face. She smiled, yanking out his tongue and watching with glee as the wet muscle flopped in her hand, the blood splashing across her face.
Hiashi yanked back, screaming in silent agony which only caused her to take more joy in his whimpering form.
he truly was a pathetic sight. She smirked, reaching into her pocket for the small knife she had stowed away. Hiashi was now against the wall, weak and on the verge of unconsciousness as he continued loosing blood. Hinata thought he truly was a pathetic sight, unable to endure this much of pain, yet she had endured being cut up on a regular basis. pathetic indeed.
She lifted the blade to his face,pressing the sharp object inside his mouth. The blood already began to trickle down and she truly relished in the sight.
"Smile for me father", Hinata grinned before ripping apart his cheeks, watching as the blood splattered on her face and the walls.
Like art, it was beautiful.
She felt satisfaction as Hiashi fell to the floor but she was not done yet, no, she was far from done.
The pale demon took out a silver needle and black thread and walked over to her fathers corpse, ready to complete the final touches in her masterpiece.
and once she would be done, she knew exactly who would be next.
Nomiko...
With that thought in mind, Hinata got to work, sliding the needle and thread in and out of the skin, brutally ripping the insides of his face.
"There, now you're smiling. I'M so glad father!", Hinata smiled happily, looking down at the bloody mess before her. The walls where covered in red and Hiashi was on the ground, his eyes lifeless yet his face ripped in to a huge stitched smile as he bled on the floor.
The pale girl smirked, getting up and unlocking the cell door with the keys, she slipped outside, ready to play with her other victims...
she could hardly wait.
ahhhhh! enjoyed writing this, hope you all enjoyed it too!
Two more chapters till the ball!
