Era

~1~

It had been two years since her first kill, she was now seven and had a baby sister named Hanabi, who was five years her junior.

When Hinata has turned six, she was deemed the 'Hyuuga prodigy' after defeating a main branch member, who was said to be the strongest of their clan, save for Hiashi.

Today, was Hinata's graduation. She was only seven.

Her along with the Uchiha heir, Uchiha Itachi, both rose through the Academy, both excelling in everything they did.

Ever since she witnessed what war had brought upon the Shinobi of this world, Hinata had promised to end the war. Of course, this was an internal promise, she didn't pump her fist in the air and shout it from the rooftops. She was a Hyuuga, she had to keep herself composed.

Hinata looked at the headband that rested in her palm blandly, wondering why she still felt nothing.

Ever since her first kill, it's like her body had never registered what had happened. She mind was always calm and thinking, she never stopped thinking. It's what caused her insomnia.

The Hyuuga female looked to Itachi to find him staring back at her, his eyes calculating. She had noticed this when their eyes first met, that his eyes were like hers. He seemed to be holding a deep intelligence within him, his coal eyes always dull.

She wondered if he noticed it as well, their eery similarities, that is. Hinata concludes that he must have since he always is staring right into her translucent lavender eyes.

Some people would assume these two are best friends, graduating the same time, both having the weight of clans on their backs, they think the two heirs would have confided in each other.

But they haven't, Hinata doesn't even recall a time they've actually spoken to each other. Yes, they look at each other, trying to figure the other out, but not a word is uttered between them.

Until today that is.

Itachi initiated the conversation, "Spar with me?" Hinata responded with a nod.

-Line Break-

This simple spar would lead to many others, which would then lead her to meet him.

His name was Uchiha Shisui, his curly head of dull black hair, his high cheekbones, proud nose. Hinata felt drawn to him and his optimistic attitude, it was odd really, she was such a pessimist, yet here she was, looking to her complete opposite for support and warmth.

"Hinata-chan!"

Speak of the devil, the boy who lingered in her thoughts was jogging toward her, a smile adorning his flawless features. Hinata felt her heart flutter.

It made her gasp and clutch her chest, what was that?

Did she feel? Her eyebrows furrowed, she didn't know how to respond, it was the first time she felt something than unfathomable emptiness.

Hinata released a small breath she didn't even realize she was holding and watched as Shisui caught up to her, maybe feeling wasn't such a bad thing.

-Line Break-

It was an odd sensation really, feeling that is.

Hinata had gone her whole life without fully being able to feel. The only time she felt anything was when she saw her two year old sister, Hinata had always felt a need to protect her sibling, no matter what.

But... This feeling... This warmth, this giddiness that Shisui caused Hinata to feel in her heart, the warmth her face felt when his smile was directed at her, Hinata wasn't so sure that feeling was a bad thing.

"Hinata-chan! Your hair has grown so long now!"

Hinata merely blinked at the curly haired Uchiha before her, she was entranced by his dull, black eyes, "Yes. I've been permitted to let it grow."

Shisui made a face, causing Hinata to feel the need to touch his face, she internally cringed as Shisui began speaking, "Your clan... Is very strict, isn't it...?"

Hinata cocked her head to the side, she had no idea, she thought this was how other people were raised.

Did... Did no one else receive emotion training? Did they all feel what she was just now experiencing?

Suddenly, an arm was slung across her shoulders, "Don't worry 'bout it, 'Nata-chan!"

Hinata decided she rather liked having his arm around her.
