It felt like a prison. This house was supposed to be a home. She had even thought that they might start acting like a family again. It was hard not to interact with others in such a small place. But her father remained as cold as ever. Not that she should have expected any different. This leopard had no intention of changing his spots. Hinata stared at the ceiling, the slight downward tilt of her mouth the only hint as to the cascading waterfall of words gushing through her mind. Their nature was not pleasant. Under the circumstances, why would they be? Kabuto made her skin crawl. He would not leave her alone and Hinata’s plea

“And you are only telling us now? A complete stranger is moving into our house this afternoon and it didn’t cross your mind to inform us that you have invited some doctor in training to live with us! Do we even have the space?” Hanabi struggled to keep her voice level and her tone without anger and it showed. It wouldn’t matter if it was anyone else but she knew about Kabuto. She knew about the deal her father had made with the boy’s parents in order to pursue his dream of a business empire. She had not meant to overhear them but she was small and easily unnoticed in her favourite hiding spot beneath her father&

He could feel it: The breeze on the hills by his home. He was stood in the old vineyard. The smell of fresh grapes was soothing and familiar to him. It always had been. He had grown up here, under sun and rain. But mostly sun... at least that’s what he remembered. He could hear it again. The call of his name bringing his search for activity to a halt. He had been running through the workers again. Dodging the same people he saw every day. Of course he did, this was his family’s vineyard, why wouldn’t he go through and see them all. Suigetsu always had something special for him to try, if he was good and helped pick grapes

For Tomorrow- Chapter Nine

Two figures were conversing at the entrance to the dimly lit main dining room of the house. Both dressed in finery many could only imagine, as would be expected of two men in such high standing of their careers. "I must admit I was expecting something on a larger scale would be needed to draw out such influential people. Even the great Hiashi Hyuuga has deigned to show his face." There was a slight accent that tried and failed to cover the layer of coldness in his voice. "Such a thing is not needed when someone has as much power as I, you should know that." The man grinned and the deep light showed slightly pointed teeth that were even pal

Hinata knew there were people staring at them. She could feel the pressure of their disapproving glares even as she stared into the baby blue eyes of the stranger with whom she had collided. He was striking, with his bright blond locks and slightly tanned skin, which spoke of long hours in the sun, so different to the indigo's own pale skin that was considered beautiful, yet, if anything, added to his handsomeness. The chiselled jaw line and broad shoulders didn't hurt either. Desperate to escape, the Hyuuga heir grasped at his wrist and hauled him to the dance floor, hoping to re-order her thoughts before she stuttered her chance away. Co

There! The smile that graced Hanabi's lips was more than noticeable. Many knew it was not in the young Hyuuga's nature to show any part of her inner thoughts. A polite nod here, a curtsy there, never showing the swirl of emotions she held within her. In her mind, it gave her the upper hand over the weaker beings that could not control their emotions in proper company. Despite many noticing her smile, it was Hanabi who had no idea that it had chosen to take residence on her usually neutral complexion. She was so caught up in the image of the Sarutobi heir, drinking from an engraved glass with the mischievous grin she had come to associate wi

For Tomorrow Chapter Six

"You know the plan, right?" It was the first time in a long time that Naruto had seen Konohamaru this nervous. His usual overconfident and scheming demeanour was subdued, barely flickering beneath the surface as he stared across the room. This would have worried Naruto but he was more than familiar with the behaviour expected at such gatherings. Even he, who would normally have cleared out the entirety of the kitchen under normal circumstances, was restraining himself with the politeness and grace his homeland prided itself on. Self control was essential during such a time... They have those fancy French puddings. One or two platefuls would

"You should have heard her, Naruto." "Oh, really?" Naruto was failing to force down his grin. He really liked seeing Konohamaru this happy. Whoever this Hanabi is she must be really special to make him so happy. I've never seen anyone else make him this excited to be going to a formal ball. It's... Nice to know someone else can make him happy. I'm not always going to be here, after all. Heh. "I've never seen someone with eyes like that either. They look like... Like you can fall into them if you wanted to, maybe even if you didn't. They pull you in even as her words push you out." Konohamaru had started to fidget in his place, his tone r
