Hinata looked down at her hands. They were bloody and filled with dirt from the hours spent of training after her team left.

"Your not going to improve if you do the same mistakes over and over again."

Hinata looked up. She knew who it was before she saw him. Itachi.

"What are you doing here itachii-niisan?" she asked.

"Your father asked me to bring you home, its late and he has something to speak with you about Hinata-chan." he said.

"I see. And why should I even come back? Its not as if he actually care if I did." she whispered barely audible.

"That's not of my concern, he's just a basterd anyways. Now hurry up, I have business to attend to."

Itachi harshly uttered. They had been best friends for as long as she could remember, but no matter how close they got, Itachi always seemed to be distant and cold.

Hinata slowly got up but collapsed from the pain in her body. He sighed, "You overdid it this time."

he muttered and picked her up bridal style.

She bit her lip. It didn't seem fair that the more she worked herself the weaker she got.

She hated being so weak. No matter how hard she ever tried she always failed and disappointed herself and worse, her father.

They reached the Hyuuga compound and Itachi dropped Hinata off at her fathers office.

"Thank you Itachi-niisan." She said softly. Itachi nodded and walked back to the Uchiha compound.

Hinata carefully walked into the room and met her fathers gaze. He always seemed to glare, but she was immune to it by now- being friends with the coldest person in the village had its advantages.

Hiashi stared at his daughter, she was quite developed for a 14 year old, and even he had to admit she was breath-taking- long navy sparkling hair went down her back and her large doe-like pearly white eyes laid delicately across her porcelain skin contrasted beautifully with her cherry red lips.

" The council and I have decided that you are now to live with the Uchiha family." he said as if he were talking about the weather.

"What? Are you insane?! I'm your daughter! Not some piece of trash you can throw away!" she cried out.

Hiashi stared at her, she had never lashed out at him like that.

Never.

Hinata herself was shocked but proud that she built up the courage to say that.

"Well, for starters you are not right to be heir, you're a weak, pathetic excuse for a chunin and the quicker I your out of here the quicker Hanabi can become the rightful leader of this clan, to put it bluntly." Hiashi spat.

Hinata was dumbfounded, how could her clan, her family, betray her like that? Was she nothing more than a cloud in the way? "Fine. Better there than here." she answered truthfully.

"You are to leave tomorrow. Pack your things tonight and be ready to go by dawn." Hiashi excused her and turned to his work.

Once she had finished scrubbing every inch of her body in the shower she stepped out feeling refreshed and ready to face the fact that she had one suitcase and a lot of necessities a girl needed, one of those things being her pads -.-.

She looked over at her closet- not that she needed many clothes, but still needed enough to last her a week. She packed a few training clothes, her brush, her shampoo, teddy bear, weapon pouch, her… er…girl needed stuff, and the last thing she had of her mom, a long white gown with lace and pearl details. It was her most cherished possession and she was planning on saving it forever.

The next morning Hinata awoke at around five so she could say goodbye to her cousin, Neji. She walked to his room, wondering how to part from the only person who kept her staying here throughout the years, but then she remembered she would be living with her bestest friend ever and felt a little less tense.

She tapped lightly on the door and when it opened she got glomped by a flying hairball.

Oh wait- no, it was Neji.

She hugged him and tears fell down her cheeks. She may be moving in with Itachi but it didn't make up for leaving her only loving family member.

They hugged again and knew they had to let go. She waved and Neji's normally stone face was filled with sadness.

She held back tears and walked with her father to the Uchiha compound. When they reached the house Hiashi greeted Fugate and Mikoto.

Her father looked at her with no emotion in his eyes and bowed to the others.

Hiashi left quickly and Hinata was glad she knew them so well or she would have felt even more awkward than she already was.

Mikoto immediately ran up to her and hugged the ex-heiress in a slightly suffocating lock, yelling out "I GET A DAUGHTER! I GET A DAUGHTER!".

Once Hinata was nearly blue, she decided to let go, not wanting to kill her.

Itachi chuckled and announced "I'll take her to her room.".

He lead her there and she noticed it was connected to another room by a bathroom.

"What room is it connecting to?" she asked. "My room." she nodded and innocently said "Then we can play easier!"

Itachi smiled and tried his hardest not to think of that perversely.
