Discovery (Old)

Secrets

Hi peoples, I'm back with a new story.

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

This is happening too soon. I never thought that the Fire Moon would come so quickly. This is actually happening, it's actually happening.

What you are seeing is the mind of one the one and only, prestigious and composed Hiashi Hyuga, falling apart.

No, a better way to describe this is completely shattering, but being who he is he must stay calm- even though that is virtually impossible.

Looking to the setting sun getting ready to step down from its pedestal in the sky and surrender it to the moon, Hiashi inwardly cursed. He didn't have much time, 2 hours tops. Frowning, he snapped his fingers as his personal assistant, Nachi Hyuga, rushed to his side waiting for a command. Hiashi turned his head to his left and uttered a simple command.

"Summon Hinata and tell her to meet with me and tell her to pack up her stuff, only what is necessary."

Nachi's eyes scrunched up in confusion, but before he could find space to question why Hiashi narrowed his eyes and finished his sentence,

"now."

With that, Nachi was gone in a blink, headed towards Hinata's room, leaving Hiashi alone with his thoughts. Which ended up with them leading him to think about his late wife and a mysterious man that he's only ever met once and could never forget, I mean, he nearly killed his lover.

Ryaui. (Pronounced Ri-oo)

-Flashback-

"Stay away!" a 19-year-old Hiashi shouted while deflecting a multiple senbon heading toward him and his girlfriend with a kunai.

The man just snarled and took out a sword in response and pointed it at them-no- at Hikari. He then charged forward with a killing intent and resentment in his eyes, for who though, Hiashi will never know, for it wasn't directed at any of them.

Before this all happened, he an Hikari were heading back from the Summer's Eve Festival. He knew it was weird to keep a weapon on him at such an occasion but his father always taught him and Hizashi 'never leave yourself unarmed and open for attack'. And thank Kami for that.

"She can't continue to live! She must perish for the world to continue!" the man continued running toward Hikari, blade at the ready.

Looking to his girlfriend he saw not fear but dread. What was going on in her mind was a mystery. Although it didn't take long for it to be deciphered.

"You know exactly why!" The man roared, "She doesn't belong here, she shouldn't even be here!"

Before Hiashi could cut in to defend his girlfriend verbally and physically, she spoke up, "Stop this madness Ryaui."

The man now given the name of Ryaui stopped his pursuit and chuckled, which soon turned hysteric. "MADNESS!?" He suddenly stopped laughing and became grave. Putting his sword back into its scabbard, his face became grim.

"Lady Hikari, Queen Opal is dying."

Hikari's face suddenly became solemn and her eyes started to tear up.

"Who's Opa-" Hiashi tried to ask but he was cut off.

"How?" Hikari finally spoke, "How is this happening?" her face began to resemble Ryaui's as she stared him down with tears starting to get ready to fall.
