The Eclipsed Hyuga (Oc x various) sequel to the cursed Hyuga

Of Cakes And Crystals

Amani sat at the bakery with stars in her eyes as she gazed at the cakes before her. Her mouth was watering. It had been so long since she was last here and the memories still stung a little but she pushed it down.

As the childlike ninja was taking the first bite she felt a hand on her shoulder causing her to jump and drop the cake. With eyes of fury, Amani turned and glared at the monster.

"Amani the hokage-", Shikamaru began. Choji was her eyes and smirked a little he knew what was coming.

"Die!", Amani jumped at him and held a spoon to Shikamarus face. Shikamaru blushed at the position they were in whilst Amani was oblivious.

"My cake", Amani sighed at she looked at the squished baked heaven. She pushed her chakra through the spoon and it began to rust.

"I'm sorry! The hokage says that she-", Shikamaru tried to explain. The now rusty spoon was close to his eye.

"Here Amani", Choji waved a new cake twice the size of the old one in her face. Amani instantly changed from killer to squealing.

"Thank you Choji!", she giggled and ate the cake still sitting on Shikamaru.

Shikamaru sighed again and looked up at the beautiful woman. "Oh yeah Shika! You were saying something", Amani giggled.

"Man you are such a troublesome woman. The hokage is sending you out to catch up with team Kakashi and Yamato. They are having issues", Shikamaru explained as Amani finished the cake.

The lazy ninja saw icing on her nose and remembered when they were kids. He leaned up and wiped it off her nose causing her to wriggle it like a bunny.

"You're still the same as when we were kids. No matter how much you have changed over the years, you are still a child at heart", Shikamaru laughed. Amani pouted and got to her feet. She grabbed one of her other cakes from the table and handed it to Choji then shoved another in Shikamarus mouth.

"Well I'm off then", she mumbled and vanished.

Shikamaru turned to his big boned friend and sighed, "and that is the woman I love".

Choji laughed and patted his friend on the shoulder.

Amani was moving at fast as she could through the trees. Karuma was bouncing besides her with her nose in the air. The large bunny stopped at the vibrations to the east and turned to her master.

"That way mam", the bunny stated and they headed off.

Amani found herself staring at the a large crystal dome. Titling her head she clutched her fist and slammed the ground. At the same time Naruto had attacked the crystal causing it to shatter.

Naruto watched as Amani ran towards the team. When they saw Hinata in a crystal, Amani screamed and ran to her cousin. A familiar sense of pain  filling her chest. As she lunged at the crystal user, she found herself stopping at the sense of a familiar chakra.

Her anger filled her as she jumped in his direction, ignoring the sounds of her team calling her name. Amani sped off, her anger was aflame. She ran to him and growled. Releasing her complete seal, the shadows lased around her.

Kabuto smirked at the girl, "well if it isn't the little experiment", the medical ninja laughed.

"Die", she glared. The shadows around her took on two forms. One of a man and one of a woman.

Amani took a deep breathe as familiar voices whispered within her.

Are you ready Amani?

Are you sure you want to do This?

Mina... Rin.... we will use that jutsu.

"What is this puppet girl?", Kabuto asked.

The figures placed their hands together in the form of a jutsu. Amanis eyes widened, her archive was activated. With a single step she began to crush the ground beneath her. "Their darkness, their shadows. It became a part of me", she whispered.

The chakra threads on her spine latched on to the shadows and it flickered. The wind began to take the form of a typhoon. Spider shaped shadows with lightning emitting from them. This caused the wind to absorb the spiders within them. Kabuto felt a familiar chakra.

Amani focused her chakra into her hands and a tree grew from the ground before decaying. The three forms of jutsu came together.

"Kin shadow style: lightning clycone of death!", the cyclone spun rapidly at  Kabuto. The earth around them died, she was absorbing the chakra from everything.

If that hits me I'm dead.

Suddenly Amani found herself frozen in place. A crystal began to spread up her body. Her eyes turned to the crystal user who had stopped her jutsu. She glared at Guren as the crystal user laughed.

"Now you will die".

"I can't die...", she whispered as the crystal engulfed her entire body.

She felt her insides also begin to crystallize, she saw how the shadow figures faded away and watched the world around her.

Come child. The shadows shall guide you. The eternal slumber shall be your home.

Amani could feel the call of sleep. Whilst immortal, the eternal sleep was the closest thing to death. Amani felt a tear escape her as the crystallized tear hit the ground.

She thought of her friends, her family. Pain is all I know... loss and hurt and yet there is a light...

Come child. Sleep.

But there is light left. Minariin.... I must survive for Minariin.  Then there is him.

A image flickered in her head. His warm smile, hopeful eyes.

Thump thump...

His spirit... His dreams. The song of sleep was signing louder. She watched as everything slowed down. Kabuto and Guren ran off leaving the Hyuga within her crystal. 

Amani saw the figures of Mina and Rin stand before her. Uzuki was grinning away.

"Come on Amani! It's time to head home!", Mina giggled.

Amani smiled at her friend, she wanted to run to them when she felt thread wrap around her wrists.

"Stay with me, Amani!", a voice called out. She felt her heart beat hard against her chest. She turned to him.

I need to live. I can't sleep. I need to live for Minariin. I need to live for him! I love him! He is my anchor...

Then the darkness settled in.
