Hinata

A few months passed since school started. Students were only supposed to learn history, math and other really basic stuff that Dix learned so long ago. He usually just let his clone sit trough the class while he kept practicing his newer abilities especially his sharingan. It was quite problematic to progress with it, considering he isn't part of the actual bloodline, so his own exploits won't make the sharingan evolve faster. Its going to take its sweet time. Dix tried to take a few measurements and understood its around 10-15% filled. He would need quite some time before he can evolve it into the Mangekyo Sharingan. After that he would have to do something with the going blind business, which is worrying to say the least.

So some time passed and it was already snowing. Dix knew there will be a somewhat important event around that time, which already had some impact on the story, so he wanted to participate. It was connected to Hinata, someone who he had a favorable impression of. He wasn't in love for sure, but felt like he wanted to help her out, because she is one of those truly pure and goodhearted girls he liked even in his previous life. Not like he ever had a date or something, but he learned that being around people like her by itself had a good effect on his psyche. Something which he was in dire need of.

So he decided to follow her home from school after it started snowing. He knew that's when she will be ganged upon by a few bullies. He prepared a red scarf, just to recreate the scene from the anime (this actually happened in the movie, but lets call that anime too). With one difference.

He follower her home quite a few times. He felt like a pedophile creep, but he didn't want to leave the event to fate, so he decided to protect her from the shadows, not caring about the moral implications. Days, weeks went by and after quite a while, on one crucial afternoon when school finished and Hinata was walking home on her own, they approached her.

They were 3 simple nobodies, who felt like bullying a girl would give their existence some meaning. Well, considering they never showed up in the anime, they probably died somewhere in a quiet and dark alley. Or at least that's the thought Dix liked to play around with. Well, it doesn't matter, he doesn't have to go that far.

The 3 bullies approached Hinata and started badmouthing her for the Byakugan she had. It made anyone who had it have eyes that are totally white with no distinguishable pupils. It really does look alien, but that's no reason to bully someone, especially not Hinata. Dix wanted to jump at them right away, but he had to pretend he was just coincidentally there and rescues her on impulse. Dix started running towards them in a slow pace and shouted at the bullies.

Hinata was already on the ground, with her hands on her face to hide her eyes. The bullies took away her scarf and started tearing it for some reason.

"Hey, you dumbass, what are you doing?! Let her go!" Dix shouting with audible anger in his voice. All three of the bullies got scared for a second and turned around to see who disturbed them. They noticed its just a kid, probably as old as the girl, so he's not a threat. They were probably around 10 years old, meaning they were all a bit bigger then Dix. That doesn't amount to anything though.

"Heheh, kid get outta here, who do you think you are? Imma let you go 'coz I had a good day. But if you anger me... you will eat snow for sure!" came the retort from the tallest of them. He seemed like some sort of leader for them? Pitiful. Dix had to suppress his urges to behead the kid right there and then. It took him a few seconds, then continued the 'conversation' with a frown and a quite scary face.

"You have three seconds to get out of here before I break your bones." he said in a cold tone and cold blue eyes. He really wanted to activate sharingan to scare the shit out of them, but then he would have to kill them too, and that would be too troublesome. Hearing what Dix said Hinata took her hands off her eyes to see who came to help her. For a second she was worried for the boy that stoop up for her. She didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her and would hate herself if that happened. But seeing the incredible confidence in his eyes Hinata knew that everything will be alright.
