Fade to Black

Chapter 2

After the fateful day of her father's funeral, Hinata became ice cold to everyone in the main family, especially Neji.

In that same year she entered the academy and graduated when she turned eight years old, she was the Hyuuga pride, almost on par with Uchiha Itachi.

Whenever she sparred, Hinata would give Neji no mercy and defeated him every time. Leaving Hiashi to wish she was his child. Hinata rose through the ranks and by the time she was eleven years old she was next in line for head ANBU, behind Uchiha Itachi.

At age eleven, she found out her clan was planning a double coup alongside the Uchiha.

At age eleven, she killed her entire clan.

Hinata slammed the shoji door shut, she fell to the ground and began to sob, she usually cried her days away.

She had no parents, no siblings, no love.

Her mother was killed by the main family when she was too young to remember, all she had was photos and her clan pendant, a yellow circle with a small flame encased in it.

But today was different, Hinata had just talked to Hiashi, he gave her a golden scroll written to her by her father.

Flashback

"Hinata."

Said girl turned around, feeling her hate boil at the sight of her uncle Hiashi, "Hai, Hiashi-sama, do you need something?"

Hiashi stepped forward and placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder, who then flinched away from the contact, making Hiashi drop his arm and sigh softly, an unreadable emotion in his eyes, "Follow me to my study."

Hinata followed obediently, her face an emotionless mask as she inwardly glared at Hiashi's back. Once they entered the study, Hinata sat on the cushion in front of Hiashi's desk.

Trying her hardest not to let her disgust show on her face, Hinata stared blankly at Hiashi, directing her gaze between his eyes, "What can I do for you, Hiashi-sama?"

Hiashi sat at his desk and opened a drawer, he placed a gold and red scroll on the mahogany lightly, "Hinata... I know your feeling towards the main family, Neji especially."

Hinata's eyes narrowed slightly, 'So he's going to disown me, isn't he?'

Hiashi quickly continued, "But I want you to know your hate is wrong. This scroll contains your father's final words to you, he told me to give it to you when you turned eleven, read it if you want, but if you don't, just remember he loved you."

Hinata grit her teeth and fisted her hands on the material of her trousers, not able to hold back the menacing glare, "This could've been easily written by a main family member, Hiashi-sama."

Even though she refused to believe him, Hinata grabbed the scroll and about ripped it open, "T-This handwriting..." Hinata felt tears well up in her eyes as she desperately tried to hold them back.

'Hina, I know you're probably in a dark place. I know you'll hate the main family, I do as well. Just please, you need to know that I wasn't forced to do this, I chose this of my own free will to save your uncle.

I promised to always be there for you ever since your mother... passed... but I wasn't, and I don't know who will teach you the basic needs for a teenager or how to act like a child.

Hina, I want to apologize, the full reality of my decision is hitting me full force and I know you won't have a regular childhood, but please, don't make Neji's life bad, it wasn't his fault, nor is it the main family's.
