The Veil Of Time

Ch 1: The Girl With a Gift

Pale lilac eyes fluttered open and a soft sigh escaped her lips. This all too familiar feeling had overtaken her once more. The urge to... 'go'. For most the urge to get up and go would be to get out of the house, but for her, it was a much different sense of the word. A small smile crossed her lips as she hopped out of bed and began rummaging through her clothes. This was always an adventure for her, there was never the same thing twice. She loved that though, sure she would see some of the same people, but nothing was ever the same each time. Those around her...They wouldn't notice she was gone, the difference in time was significant. She felt like she was there forever, when she would only be there for maybe a day or so.

That's right... she could use time space ninjutsu, however it was different than that of what most shinobi could use. She could actually travel through time.

She sighed once more as she slipped on her shoes and made her way out of the compound. She couldn't help the smile as she strolled down the streets of old Konoha, it was hectic and strange. Everything was bustling with activity, much like in her own time; but it was still much different. Her eyes spotted her father as he strolled down the street, her mother in tow. She could tell they were her parents because her father was a spitting image of Neji, the boy beside him looked exactly like him as well. Hiashi, Hizashi, and her mother were an odd bunch.

Her mother had long deep blue, almost black tresses that hung down her back in a low ponytail from the base of her neck, unlike Hizashi and Hiashi's hair, which was bound near the end of their hair. Her father reminded her of Neji, he had a cold and ignorant look adorning his face. Her mother walked beside him with a dirty look on her face, Hinata's mother had the personality Hinata's own thoughts held. A fierce fearless woman who took no trash talk.

In her mind Hinata had this confident and strong voice, which was the exact opposite of what she actually was. Hinata's mother on the other hand was quite the... well... quite the bipolar one... Hinata had always guessed that their mother is where Hanabi had gotten her explosive personality from. Her name, meaning firework, fitting her younger sister to a point. Hiashi said something and her mother punched him across the street towards her. Not long after her fist had connected with Hiashi's face her mother blushed dark red and ran over to him, asking if he was ok and apologizing profusely, proving Hinata's point of her mother's personality.

Hinata frowned and turned off in an alleyway, trying to avoid contact with the Hyuuga. She never did like making contact with people she knew. It always ended up in trouble when she returned, being as why she only associated with vendors. The vendors would be too old to remember her in her own time, or they would think she was a cousin or something of the version of her they met. She loved interacting with everyone here as they treated her respectfully despite not knowing her strength or weaknesses. Unlike in her own time where everyone knew of her as the meek girl who lost against her cousin in the exams. A sigh escaped her once more as she continued on towards an all too familiar place that always beckoned to her.

She was adventuring more towards the Uchiha district now, for some reason walking by their compound has always given her a sense of... well she wasn't sure how to explain it. It made her feel welcome and safe, as if she belonged there. The Hyuuga compound wasn't that far from it, but the Hyuuga compound had never quite felt like home, not the way the Uchiha compound had... the Hyuuga compound had always given her a paranoia that dwelled deep within her and made her think the entire clan was out to get her.

She strolled by the Uchiha gates and the Uchiha that were out and about began muttering and talking. She nodded to them respectfully and some of them nodded back. Others, like Izanagi, advanced on her. Izanagi and his group enjoyed talking to her every time she walked by. Izanagi had a thing for pouring his heart's deepest feelings out to her every time she came to this time. "My lovely Hinata, will you not take my proposal this time?" he asked and Hinata smiled. Izanagi looked like an older Sasuke with the stress lines Itachi had, yes, he was good looking... but you don't go to the past to date people....
