CHAPTER 1

BROKEN MEMORIES

A fully grown Hyuuga was in an apartment, looking at a worn-out photo. She had a lavender hoodie on, and her sleek raven hair shone through the moonlight emitting out of her bedroom window. It had been years since that fateful day, the day she'd never be the same.

5 yr old Hyuuga Hinata rubbed her small hands in anticipation. She couldn't wait! Her father had told her that some very special guests were coming over.

A maid helped the wriggling child into her blue kimono. "Hinata-sama, the evening won't move any faster if you keep on fidgeting." she scolded.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and in stood a very beautiful lady. She looked cross. "Lina, leave the scolding to me." She went and picked up the little girl.

"Oka-chan!" the little doll squealed.

The older woman gently calmed her down. Taking her by the hand, she calmly led her down the stairs to the main entrance.

There was a family waiting there, obviously greeted by the lord of the manor, Hyuuga Hiashi.

Hinata immediately recognized him to be her father. However, she did not jump up and run to him. After all, there was visitors and she knew he wanted her to be on her best behavior.

"Lady Hinata, my name is Uchiha Fugaku." addressed the tall, dark man with a cleft chin.

The said girl only nodded. He went on, "Since the things we will be discussing won't be of much use to you, you can go play with my two sons here."

He pointed to the older one. "My oldest son is named Uchiha Itachi. And this one," he indicated with his head, "is Uchiha Sasuke."

The youngest of the family peered out from under his mother's kimono. "Hi." he answered shyly.

The Hyuuga gave him a dazzling smile, causing his shyness to get the better of him.

"Well, we better get down to business," spoke Hiashi after observing the small communication between the two children.

The adults went to another room, leaving Itachi, Sasuke and Hinata in the room.

"I-Itachi-san? W-would you like t-to play w-with us?" she suggested tentatively.

"Hn."

The younger girl took that as a yes. She turned to the younger, who seemed to like to hide behind things.

"W-wh-what g-games do you l-like to play, Sasuke-san?"

"..."Sasuke.

Itachi-san and Sasuke-san are peculiar, she thought.

-------------------

"NO! I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOW IT!" roared the Hyuuga warlord.

"..." Uchiha Fugaku.

"Dear...don't be so...ups-" began his wife, but Hiashi silenced her with a look.

Hyuuga Hiashi looked at the Uchiha dead in the eye.

"I will not betray Konoha. If this village falls, who knows if we'll be able to fend from other enemies, and I KNOW that they'll attack once they see a weakness.

"Do you want to take this risk?"

At first the Uchiha didn't speak. Then he stood up. "Has any one of your family been a candidate for Hokage, Hiashi-sama?"

"That isn't the poi-" but the sharingan user cut across him.

"You want to know the point? The point is, is that the Senjus and Namikazes have been ruling this goddamned village for DECADES my friend. It is time for us to reclaim our power within the village."

As he was listening to the Uchiha leader, Hiashi felt nothing but hatred. He stood up too. "Is this what you call strength? You know nothing of Konoha's ways. The reason the Hokages probably don't choose us is because of our selfishness. And, after what I have heard, I can only assume that much!" The tone of his voice started reverberating out of the room.

The man named Fugaku looked as if he regretted ever bringing the subject up.

"If you won't back us up, I understand. But promise me you won't betray the Uchiha Force."

Hiashi knew that it was useless, that the Hokage would never believe him if he told them of Fugaku's plans.

"I give you my solemn vow..."

--------------------------

"4...3...2...1...Okay Itachi-san and Sasuke-san! Ready or not, h-here I come!!" she ran off trying to find them.

Sasuke looked from his hiding spot. He was really good at this game. He decided to scare the Hyuuga girl silly.

Itachi watched from a distance, standing on the ceiling. True, it did waste chakra, but he also wanted to make a statement.

Meanwhile, Hinata was on the third floor, looking under cupboards and stairs for the two boys. Little did she know that the younger one was slowly approaching her.

"KYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" the mini-Uchiha pounced on her. Together they landed in a heap.

"S-sasuke-s-san?" she stuttered, words failing her.

Hiashi watched all of this from a corner. He had forcibly ended his session with the Uchiha clan leader and was getting ready for dinner.

Coming out of the corner, he asked, "Having fun, Hina-hime?"

Sasuke and Hinata brushed themselves off. Hinata blushed. Sasuke, on the other hand, was a bit nervous around the Hyuuga leader.

To appease himself, he bowed slowly. "I'm sorry to cause a d-disturba-" The Hyuuga lord waved a hand dismissively.

"You two, go on downstairs and eat. I will be down there momentarily."

They didn't telling twice. Hiashi could hear their little footsteps pattering.

"Kids these days..." muttered the warlord. Laughing to himself, he went down to his office, unaware of what was to come.

----------------------

Suddenly, Sasuke realized that in their hurry to eat, they totally forgot about his brother.

"Umm, Hina...chan?" he asked shyly, turning into a tomato. "Could w-we look f-for m-my b-b-brother." he faltered under her steady gaze.

"Oh! O-of course!"

Hina-chan? Secretly she liked that nickname.

22 year old Hinata hugged the photo to her chest. The photo had a picture of a small Uchiha Sasuke and her in her blue kimono. She sighed.

"I looked so carefree then. If only things didn't have to be this way, if only i'd have been stronger, if only..." but she knew that it was useless.

She didn't have the power to turn back time and correct her mistakes.

Collapsing on the bed, she sobbed till her heart broke.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Yuuhi Kurenai. I'm your new jounin sensei."

None of the three students moved.

"Well," evidently trying to dispel all awkwardness in the team, "How about we get to know each other?"

Looking at the students, she picked one. "You are an Aburame, aren't you? Well, why don't we start with you?"

She went on. "Just say something interesting about you, like what's your favorite color and so on."

The Aburame started. "My name... is Shino Aburame.....I like bugs." There was an eerie silence.

Moving on, she asked the girl to introduce herself.

"M-m-my n-name i-is Hyuug-ga Hin-nata..."

Finally only one person was left. He seemed an energetic one. "MY NAME IS KIBA AND I THINK HINATA'S CUTE!......AND I HAVE A DOG NAMED AKAMARU WHO HAS A CRUSH ON HINATA-CHAN!" the dog gave an equally loud bark.

Yuuhi Kurenai sweatdropped as she saw the boy run around with his dog, evidently unleashing newfound energy into the air.

The shy Hyuuga was giggling. Even Shino smiled behind his coat.

She remembered her team. She remembered the sweet dog smell of Akamaru, how sweet Kiba was to her, and how Shino always helped her in awkward situations.

And it hurt.

She had to move on. She knew it was weakness, the feelings she was having right now, but it was useless.

As Neji-nii-san would put it, she was caught in the cruel hands of fate.

"HELLO HINATA-CHAN!!!" mumbled Naruto very loudly.

"H-hello." Hinata turned a violent shade of purple and began to sweat. Shino was muttering words of encouragement to her.

"S-s-so," she continued. "Y-y-you c-came b-back fr-rom t-t-training?"

"Yeah?"

It was a week after Naruto had defeated Pein, and during this time, Hinata was very nervous.

"L-l-listen, Naruto. I truly m-meant what I said to you during th-that battle with Pein-san. I love you."

Naruto smiled. "I know Hina-chan. I love you too."

"HINATA! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!!" shouted a loud and angry voice.

Hinata refused to budge or make a sound. She knew that it would mean certain death, but it was worth it.

"NOW! DON'T MAKE ME COME UP HERE, YOU WHORE!"

She closed her eyes, trying to numb the emotional pain she was feeling at that moment.

She couldn't believe that the once-kind Naruto could turn into this controlling monster.

She braced herself for the pain, as she heard him stomp up the stairs.

"W-w-wait,t-this isn-t w-w-wise, Uchiha-s-sa---" she moaned. He gently suckled her skin, giving her goosebumps.

"You know how long I've waited for you...longed for you...it's been too long."

She knew she was engaged to Naruto, yet she longed for Sasuke too.

"N-Narut-o...a-a-ano...s-s-stop h-hurting m-mme...." she moaned. The man named Naruto ignored her pleas.

He was forcing himself on her. Even though he was her husband, it was terrifying.

Ever since he heard rumors about Sasuke being in the village and having an affair with Hinata, he never was the same.

After a few hours, he left her there, broken, weak and bruised.

"What-t's w-w-wrong N-Naruto-ku--" she gasped.

Her lover was drenched in blood and smiling. "I-I killed him, Hinata."

She just stood there.

"I killed Uchiha Sasuke. Now you'll be mine forever, Hina-chan.

"It's just you and me now."

WHADDYA THINK?? You know what to do now. Review!!
