Byakugan Princess: The Cursed Jewel [Book 1]

Part 11

"But there's nobody in here Lee-san" Hinata said. "We should go and-"

"We can't Hinata. Not until Tenten comes back" Ino replied.

"But what if-" she insisted but suddenly someone bursted into the house.

"AND WE'RE SAFE!!!" yelled the brunette.

"TENTEN!!! THIS IS MY HOUSE SO YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK-" Sakura yelled before turning around to see Lee, Ino and both Hyugas staring at her. "Ino-chan, Lee?"

Then she turned to see the Hyugas, "And who are you?"

"Those are Hinata and Neji Hyuga." Tenten said. Sakura looked at them and crossed her arms.

"Okay, start talking. Why are you in my house and from who you're ruuning away?" Sakura asked. Then Tenten and Ino decided to exolain her everything.

"So you want me to help you? Why?" she said while scratching her head.

"Well, since you're no longer wanted here I bet you'll need a fair reason to escape" Tenten replied.

"I think it's your only hope Sakura." Lee added.

"Hmmm...but there's something I don't get. Why they want Hinata alive when the Uchihas only want the pearl?"

"It's because they want me to marry him" Hinata said while lowering her head. Everyone, specially Neji turned around surprised.

"What?! They what Hinata!?!?" he said.

"It's either I marry lord Sasuke or they kill us all Neji nii-san. I accepted it because I had no other option" she said while sobbing.

"Dammit!!" Neji cursed.

"Wait so they no longer care about the ir bloodline? Hmm, that's interesting coming from the Uchiha's" Ino said.

"Anyway" Hinata said. "We need to move as soon as possible so we could rescue my sister and save my kingdoom."

"I support what Hinata-sama said. We should stop speaking and keep moving" Neji added.

"That's good to hear! But we need to wait -till tomorrow. It's too dangerous to go outside at thia hour" Sakura added.

"So you're coming Sakura-chan?" Lee asked excited.

"Yup, as I heard your journey's too risky ao you're gonna need someone who's an expert in medical techniques" she replied while smiling.

"That's why the guards are looking for you?" Hinata asked.

"Yup. This men here thinks they know it all and when a woman stands up for herself they think it's a witch!!" Sakura said. "So they sentenced me to death because apparently, a woman who is a skilled medical nin must be accused from witchcraft. Bakas"

Sakura sighed, "Anyway, we should get rest if we're leaving tomorrow morning"

Everyone nodded and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, in a far far away land a guard went into the main hall of the castle.

"You confirmed it?" said a man wit dark brown hair who stared at his servant.

"Hai my lord. It's been confirmed and also the rumours seem to reflect the same information" he said.

The young man nodded. "Good, you can leave" Then he walked to the balcony where another man stared blankly at his city."

"Gaara" he said. "The rumours are true."

The red headed boy didn't move muscle. "Everything about it?"

"Hai, the invasion, the escape and also..." he trailed off, not knowing how he should say it.

"Say it Kankuro" he turned around. His green eyes surrounded by his typical dark lines watching him closely. He didn't had eyebrows, but the Kanji of Love he had on one side of his forehead distinguished him from the others. "What is it?"

"The legend of the pearl is real. Also it's power. They said the Hyuga escaped with it when the Uchiha's tried to take it from her" he added.

"So, it's power it's already to affect the others..." he murmured before walking away from his older brother.

"G-Gaara?" he asked.

"Prepare some guards. The Uchiha's are following them so I want you to stop them. I know Dragon's Eyes will bring them so your job is to protect them"

"But why don't I look for them first?"

"They move quickly" Gaara added. "It'll be impossible to catch them up. Besides, this will be the perfect time to finally start our revolution. Now go"

Kankuro left the balcony to complete the mission. When Gaara lost sigh of him suddenly he felt another familiar chakra walking calmly towards him.

"You surely are a perfect liar, little brother" a blonde girl who's hair was in 4 ponytails and wore a black dress said. "Revolution is not the only reason you're doing this against the Uchihas"

"Then why you ask?" he replied.

"Because I know that you're dying to see that Byakugan Princess. How long it has been?" Temari thought for a second. "6 years! Ah, how time flies right?"

Gaara blushed lightly as Temari smirked. She knew that the last time he saw lady Hinata was on his last visit to the Hyuga lands.

"Hn." Gaara only managed to say before leaving while Temari giggled.
