[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

“Hinata, Come make breakfast!” called Hinata’s father, Hiashi, from downstairs.
Hinata stirred, her vision blurry. Her hands still gripped the journal that she kept about Naruto. She got up, not even bothering to change out of her soiled clothes from the previous day.
Groggy, Hinata descended the stairs and headed to the kitchen. She started to cook up rice cakes for breakfast. But she was still very tired and did not have her ninja-like grace. She stumbled as she took the extra rice to put it away in the pantry. Hinata twisted her ankle and dropped the barrel in which the rice was kept.
She gasped and gripped her hurt ankle, trying to keep her father or another family member from hearing.
“what’s this?” Hinata’s father walked in to the kitchen.
“I-I…”Hinata couldn’t speak. Her father grabbed her wrist and lifted her up off the ground. Hiashi looked into Hinata’s eyes, and slapped her hard. He let her go and she fell to the ground.
“clean this up” he turned away and continued to wherever he was going. Hinata hobbled over to the dustpan and broom and cleaned up the dirty rice, throwing it away after she was finished.
Hiashi returned after a short time and looked at Hinata.
“Looks like you’re finished cleaning, now get back to cooking” he said.
“I can’t father, I need to meet Kurenai-sensei and my team for training today.” Hinata replied. Hiashi laughed.
“You think your team needs you at all? You’re useless, if anything your team would benefit from your absence”
“That’s not true!” Hinata shouted, Hiashi stepped back a tiny bit “I know my teammates care about me, they know I’m essential to the team. Even if I’m not as skilled as them” Hinata blushed, not expecting herself to stand up to her father like that.
Hiashi walked over to her, and raised a hand to slap her. Just as he was beginning, he stopped himself and walked back to where he came from.
Hinata watched Hiashi until she knew he was gone. Then looked at the clock on the oven.
Oh no! she realized she was late to training!

She helped herself up and walked as best she could to the training ground. Meeting not with Kurenai, Shino or Kiba…but with Neji.
“it seems your teammates have realized that you’re useless, Hinata” said Neji, smirking.
Hinata felt like crying, after what happened yesterday and today, she couldn’t hold herself in.
“Stop it Neji! You and father stop it!” Hinata shrieked “why are you doing this to someone of your own flesh and blood? Are you two so unable to feel that you’ve forgotten who your family really is?”
Neji gritted his teeth “you little…cunt” he said through his teeth. He charged at Hinata, Hinata could only raise her arms to defend herself before she was battered by a series of strikes from Neji.
Soon, her legs gave out under her and she fell to the ground. She coughed up a little blood as Neji stood above her. She couldn’t move, she was completely at the mercy of her brother.
“such a nobody, if you just disappeared I would not be surprised” Neji smirked and walked away, toward the Hyuuga estate.
Hinata lay paralyzed for what seemed to be hours, but in reality it was only around ten minutes. She heard someone call to her.
“Hinata?…Hinata!” It was Kiba’s voice. He ran to her side and asked her is she was alright. All she could do was grunt, as Neji had paralyzed her vocal chords. Kiba picked up Hinata and cradled her in his arms, sobbing.
“Hinata, who did this to you?” he said, as Akamaru whimpered and licked Hinata’s face. Only a few minutes later Kurenai and Shino walked onto the scene, rushing in once they saw Hinata.
Kurenai used her limited medical Jutsu to relieve Hinata of her paralysis. She asked who did this to Hinata, and Hinata could only hold herself to Kurenai and cry, terrified of what Neji would do if he found out Hinata had told anyone.
