Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Demon's of Konoha ❯ Moving in with the boys ( Chapter 2 )

Hinata knew that her life wasn't normal; she just didn't realize how accurate that thought was. At twelve years of age her world was no longer her own. Hinata remembered a time when her father and mother looked at her with love, instead of the looks of hatred she received the last two years from her father. Or actually the man she had thought was her father. Today she found out just how wrong she was. Today she was disowned and kicked out of the Hyuuga forever. Grabbing a duffle bag Hinata quickly filled it with some clothes, her school uniform, her saved money, and the few things she considers precious. Putting on her shoes, Hinata place the duffel over her shoulder and walked out into the rain to the one place she always knew she would be welcome.

 

The rain was dropping on Hinata's head as if mocking her. Bringing her hand up to her cheek she felt the glowing red mark that would soon be a bruise and in a few days would be gone forever. Hinata had always healed faster then the rest of the Hyuuga's but she didn't think that was wrong enough to make her different. With tears running down her face Hinata began to remember her life until now.

 

*************FLASHBACK******************************************* ****

 

“Gaara, did you hear Mommy had a little girl. I'm a sister.” A five year old Hinata said jumping around the boy reading a book. Looking up from his book Gaara seen the happy smile on Hinata's face but that still didn't stop him from picking on her. Reaching up he grabbed one of the ends of her pigtails and tugged lightly.

 

“So what am I considered then Neji's socks?” Gaara asked the now standing girl. Sometimes Gaara could not figure out where Hinata got her energy from. He had known Hinata his whole life and she was always able to bring a smile to his face.

 

Watching her face scrunch up in thought Hinata finally came to a conclusion and said “You're my older brother so that makes me a little sister. Now I have a little sister.” Hinata said, happy with herself at the conclusion.

 

“You do know I am not really your brother though right?” Gaara asked the bouncing girl again.

 

Hinata stopped bouncing before giving Gaara a big hug “You will always be my brother Gaara. No matter what happens” getting her face into the puppy-dog look Hinata said “don't you want to be my brother Gaara?”

 

“Yes I will be your brother, Hinata. Stop making that face.” Gaara said before hugging Hinata back.

 

“Yeah” Hinata said bouncing around again “now I have a brother and a sister.”

 

Things began to change around the house though little by little. All the attention instead of being on Hinata and even Gaara were all on Hanabi. Thankfully though instead of getting jealous the two had each other and were allowed to go and play at the park with only one guard.

 

It was at the park that the two met a little blonde haired, blue-eyed little boy with whisker marks they later found named Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto, Hinata thought, was a cute but sad boy. For some reason unknown to her, no one would play with him, either because they didn't want to or because there parents wouldn't let them. To Gaara and Hinata that just wasn't a reason not to play with someone. Hinata grabbed Gaara's hand and walked up to the little boy sitting by himself on the swing.

 

“Want to play with us?” Hinata asked the little boy watching his face light up with a smile. “We're going to make sand castles in the sand box.”

 

“Alright” the little boy said grabbing Hinata's other hand as they made their way to the sand box. “My name is Naruto Uzumaki what's yours?”

 

“I'm Hinata Hyuuga and this is Gaara no Sabaku, my brother.” Hinata said cheerfully.

 

“You and your brother have different last names?” Naruto asked, not sure that that was how siblings were.

 

“Technically I am just a close friend that lives with Hinata's family for now, but Hinata wants me as a brother.” Looking at Naruto and smiling Gaara said “Since we were raised together she pretty much is my sister.”

 

“Hey that's neat” Naruto said. “I don't have any siblings at all” he left off sadly. “But that's ok I can have friends. Want to be my friends?” Naruto said with a smile again.

 

“Yeah I have a new friend” Hinata said jumping up and down again before jumping into the sand box.

 

“That would be nice” Gaara said “would be nice to have another boy to play with instead of nee-san here all the time. I can only play dolls so much.”

 

“Hey what's wrong with playing dolls?” Hinata asked putting her hands on her hips, glaring at Gaara.

 

“Nothing is wrong with it. If you're a girl” Gaara said girl like it was an icky word.

 

“I am a girl Gaara, I can play dolls.” Hinata said before putting on her big puppy dog eyes that always works on Gaara “You don't want to play dolls with me anymore Gaara?” Seeing that the look wasn't working Hinata changed tactics “Fine then I challenge you Gaara. I bet that Naru-chan and I can build a better sand castle then you can Gaara.” Hinata said sticking her tongue out at Gaara.

 

“I accept your challenge. If you win I will play dolls with you, if I win you have to play ninja.” Gaara said with his hands on his hips glaring at Hinata.

 

“Deal, come on Naru-chan” Hinata said grabbing Naruto's hand again to an area of the sandbox. “Let's build a better castle then meanie over there.” Sitting down Hinata, let go of Naruto's hand, began building a castle with Naruto following.

 

Gaara sat down across from Hinata and Naruto and began making a castle. He was only working on it for a few minutes before he began using his hands to move the sand without actually touching it. If he lifted his hand up then the sand went up. He moved his hand down, the sand went down. Moving his hands around it wasn't long before he had an amazing castle sitting there including a bridge over a moat.

 

“Done” Gaara said pointing to his masterpiece, grinning happily at his finished castle. He wasn't entirely sure how he was able to build the castle without touching the sand but he was happy he didn't have to play dolls for a while.

 

With a pout on her face Hinata said “fine we will play ninja's tomorrow. Want to play tomorrow Naru-chan if we can come to the park?”

 

“Sure” said Naruto. “I will look for you guys tomorrow. I have to get back to the orphanage now anyways. Bye Gaara-san, Bye Hinata-chan it was nice to play with you.”

 

Little did Hinata know then but they would soon be great friends, although she wasn't sure why some of the Hyuuga family referred to Naruto as a demon-child. If it wasn't for the stepping in of Yuri, Hinata's mom, Hinata and Gaara wouldn't be able to play with Naruto at all.

 

“Gaara, Gaara I did it. I finally did it” an eight year old Hinata said running up to the boy sitting on a bench in the garden looking in the pond. “I finally activated my Byukugan.”

 

“That's great Hinata I always knew you could do it.” Gaara said giving her a hug. Stepping back he had seen a sad smile on her face though. “What's wrong Hinata?”

 

“Hanabi is only three and she can already activate her Byukugan. Does that make me weak nii-san?” Hinata asked taking her shoes off and putting them in the pond.

 

“No you are not weak, Hinata. Maybe your areas of specialties are in something else, besides the Byukugan. Aren't you also learning to cook from Aunt Yuki also?” Gaara said taking off his shoes and putting his feet in the pond also. “Maybe that is your area of expertise. You won't find me cooking.”

 

“True” said Hinata “don't worry Gaara I won't make you starve or Naruto either. Hey speaking of Naruto we were going to meet him a while ago” Hinata said standing up and putting her shoes back on. “Come on Gaara we are going to be late.”

 

Hinata and Gaara began running to the park and soon saw a group of villagers with some ninja surrounding the sand box screaming as if chanting: “Kill the demon. Kill the Beast. Protect our village.”

 

Making their way inside the group they were shocked to see a beaten up Naruto, lying on the ground in a puddle of blood. “Naru-chan” Hinata said jumping to cover the boy with her body to avoid him from being hit. “Leave Naru-chan alone he's bleeding.” Hinata screamed at the group.

 

Stopping to look at the Hyuuga heiress who was protecting the boy and the red-headed boy standing next to her the group didn't know what to do. It wasn't long until someone from the back screamed “Kill the demon supporters” making some of the crowd become rowdy again. A few people left the group not wanting to be involved with hurting the Hyuuga heir. Seeing someone go to throw a kick at Hinata to move her off of Naruto, Gaara sprung into action. Concentrating and raising his hands up Gaara lifted some sand up from the sandbox and began knocking people back with it, trying to protect Hinata and Naruto from being hit.

 

Within minutes the group of attackers had ran off leaving a sweating Gaara. Reaching a hand down Gaara helped Hinata take Naruto to the hospital to get healed. It was then that they had met the Hokage Sarutobi and explained what had happened. While Naruto was being healed they saw a seal form on his stomach the minute chakra hit it, but it was quickly covered. After reassurances from Sarutobi that Naruto would be alright, Hinata and Gaara left to go to the library.

 

“Hey Gaara I think I found something” Hinata said placing the large book on the table called “Seals and Sealings of the World. “This looks like Naruto's seal here and according to this it's a demon's sealing seal.” Looking at Gaara Hinata continued “no wonder the town considers Naruto a demon. He has one sealed in him. What do you think Gaara?”

 

“I don't care that he has a demon sealed in him. I mean we've known him for three years now. If he was a demon I think we would know.” Gaara said after some thought.

 

“That's true Gaara. If anyone would know it would be us. I don't see how people can be like that though.” Hinata said.

 

“I don't know either Hinata. People fear what they don't know. It's been like that for eons and will always be like that.” Gaara said.

“Don't be so serious Gaara. Let's go and visit Naruto tomorrow at the hospital.” Hinata said “and we can tell him we know about his demon” Hinata decided.

 

“We can't say anything about that Hinata.” Gaara said “there is a good chance he doesn't know. Also we will wait until he tells us. Promise me Hinata.”

 

“Why do I have to promise?” Hinata asked.

 

“Because I know you Hinata you want to tell him and you can't. Trust me you have to wait until he tells you. Would this be something you would want to be confronted about?” Gaara asked already knowing the answer.

 

“No” said Hinata sadly before she thought of something else. “Hey Gaara how can you move sand like that? What did you do to move it?”

 

“I'm not sure Hinata I was pulling chakra and next thing I knew I was in control of it.” Gaara said.

 

“Try doing it again I want to see something” Hinata said before concentrating and activating her Byukugan. Gaara began channeling chakra but stopped when he heard Hinata gasp. “You have two charkas, one blue and one red. Do it again let me see something.” Hinata said as Gaara began to channel chakra again. Slightly lifting up Gaara's shirt Hinata saw a seal similar to the one on Naruto's belly form on Gaara's. “Gaara you have a seal also” Hinata said dropping his shirt. “It's slightly different than Naruto's but I would still keep it a secret. I wouldn't want Mom and Dad to worry.”

 

Gaara agreed with Hinata as they put the books away and headed home. That night Gaara began to have a hard time sleeping from hearing a voice in his head. It wasn't until Hinata held him in a hug did he begin to sleep. At eight years of age, Gaara's demon was beginning to awaken.

 

One night when Hinata was laying in bed listening to the storm outside when she thought she heard some strange sounds outside. Moving towards her window she went to look outside to see if she could see what it was. Just as she made it to the window she went to attempt to see what was there only to find in a flash of thunder an unfamiliar face was there.

 

Screaming with all her lungs Hinata was soon grabbed by the strange ninja as he jumped out the window. Hearing the screaming Yuki and Gaara ran into Hinata's room to see the stranger run with Hinata over his shoulder. Following after the kidnapper, Yuki and Gaara began a fast pursuit. It wasn't long until the kidnapper put Hinata down and turned to fight his followers. Yuki went to attack first and began to use the Gentle Fist on him. It wasn't long before the ninja was able to move.

 

“Who sent you?” Yuki yelled over the rain. “Why have you come for my family?”

 

“I'm not telling you anything” the ninja said.

 

Seeing his village's symbol Yuki said “Why does the Cloud Village want Hinata? Tell me.” Seeing he wasn't going to answer Yuki grabbed one of the paralyzed mans finger and broke it. “I asked you a question.”

 

“The Kazekage was just delivering a message, said we could have the Hyuuga's eyes as payment. He said Gaara was being treated to soft and should be on his own, and that your death would assure that. That was the message your death.” The Cloud Ninja spoke “The Cloud just wanted the Hyuuga girl's eyes to discover the secrets of the Byukugan.”

 

Yuki turned to look at Hinata and make sure she was alright not checking the ninja's movement. Yuki had her Byukugan deactivated and didn't see the ninja regain movement in his arm and Yuki was in his reach. Grabbing a kunai he quickly slit Yuki's throat in front of Hinata and Gaara, splashing the two of them with blood.

 

“If I can't leave I will just have to kill you kids and take the eyes with me.” The cloud Ninja said making his way over to the kids.

 

Gaara at seeing Hinata scared covered in blood and in shock, had gotten mad. Looking at the dead body of the woman who took care of him and treated him as her own, he was beyond mad. He was pissed. Without realizing it he said “Sabaku Kyu” covering the man in sand. Reaching his hand out Gaara said “Sabaku Soso” and closed his hand crushing the man inside. Releasing his hand he saw that there was nothing inside. The sand had completely absorbed the man. When the sand made it back into the gourd is when Hiashi showed and ready for battle. Seeing his dead wife put Hiashi into shock when he asked what had happened. Gaara explained what the Cloud Ninja said and that Yuki had protected them.

 

Hiashi taking this all in began to laugh insanely. “You're telling me I lost Yuki, because of some demon child?” A few minutes later Hiashi stopped laughing and looked at Gaara. “I want you gone Gaara. I allowed Yuki to bring you in against my better judgment, as a favor to her sister, and your father has her killed. I want you out of my house and out of my life Gaara. Gather your stuff and go. Your father was sending money for your care. We didn't touch it so it's yours.” Hiashi said glaring at the boy. Gaara had packed his stuff, grabbed the money and left with Hinata crying and begging him not to leave the whole time. That night Gaara ended up staying the night at Naruto's apartment. That night Hinata and Gaara had turned ten. That night Hinata began to be beaten.

 

“Hinata” Hiashi said “I want you to fight Hanabi. I want you to take this seriously. This is for the title of heiress.”

 

“Yes Father” a twelve year old Hinata said softly. In the two years since Yuki was killed Hiashi had begun to hate Hinata. If he could have, he would have sent her away with Gaara, but because of Yuki he couldn't. She wanted to protect Hinata and claimed her has her own, making her an heir. Anytime since Gaara had left that Hiashi got mad at Hinata for not training hard enough he would beat her. It wasn't long before Hinata became quite and shy, to afraid to say anything. Gaara and Naruto had their suspicions but couldn't actually do anything about it. Hinata was no longer able to leave the complex without bodyguards making it she couldn't see her brother and best friend. It was Hyuuga business in the eyes of the village. They could do what ever they wanted. The only friend then that Hinata was able to have was a boy who lived in the complex over named Sasuke.

 

Sasuke and Hinata ended up having a lot in common, they both wanted acceptance from their family and neither of them getting it. In Sasuke's family it was always about Sasuke's genius brother Itachi. Itachi had graduated from Konoha High Ninja Academy at the normal age of sixteen. You are required to be a Genin for two years before you can apply for the Chounin Exams. At eighteen years of age, Itachi not only became a Chounin but he was moved up to an ANBU captain for the skills he displayed, making him the youngest since the Shinobi Wars.

 

In Hinata's case Hanabi got all the attention and so did her cousin Neji. Neji wasn't so bad since his father kept him from getting prideful but Hanabi had become a royal brat. She blamed Hinata for the death of their mother and Hiashi didn't disagree. At seven years of age Hanabi Hyuuga had become a miniature Hiashi.

 

Hinata had gotten into stance in the courtyard by the fish pond and activated her Byukugan. She then watched her sister standing across from her doing the same. For a while there Hinata was able to hold her own, but soon began to feel the drain of using the Byukugan for to long, making her deactivate it. It wasn't long before Hanabi had Hinata beaten, but didn't stop there. Hanabi was going for a killing strike and no one was going to stop her. Getting angry that they were just going to let her die Hinata screamed in rage making the water from the pond shoot up from behind her. Feeling chakra flow through her body Hinata threw her hand forward and encased Hanabi in a water ball.

 

With tears in her eyes Hinata watched as Hanabi began to struggle for breath. Feeling a jarring pain on the side of her face Hinata released Hanabi, not even sure how she had enclosed her.

 

“Get out of here” Hinata heard. Looking at who had spoken Hinata went silent seeing her father's face full of rage. “You are a demon just like your brother. Get out of here Hinata. I never want to see you again. You are stripped of being a Hyuuga and are no longer heiress.”

 

“But father why” Hinata asked trying not to stutter.

 

“You are not my daughter and you never were. Yuki saved your life and you almost killed her daughter. You are just like your twin brother Gaara. You are a demon. You have ten minutes to get off my property or I will kill you.”

 

At hearing that he would kill her and recognized it for the truth Hinata took off running into her room.

 

*****************END FLASHBACK**************************************

 

Standing in front of the apartments door Hinata was scared at the way her life had turned. She knew that in her heart these were the people who would never turn her away and all she had to do was knock. Hearing yelling coming from within the apartment Hinata was about to leave and come back later when the door opened revealing Gaara with his normal annoyed look on his face, but his eyes had the beginning of dark circles around them. Taking in the sight of Hinata with her bag on her shoulder and an obvious mark on her face Gaara quickly brought Hinata inside.

 

Dropping her duffel on the floor by the door Hinata began to cry, only to be pulled into a bug by her brother, which only made her cry harder. Grabbing on to Gaara for dear life Hinata was soon brought down to a couple of sobs. When Hinata had finished crying Gaara said “go take a shower and get cleaned up. We will talk when you get out.”

 

Grabbing her duffle bag again Hinata quickly made her way to the bathroom and began a shower, trying to relax in the hot shower. Hearing the door shut and the water start Gaara went into the spare bedroom and began to move things around.

 

Hearing all the commotion Naruto stuck his head out of the room and checked to see what the noise was. Finding Gaara moving things from the room Naruto asked “Gaara what are you doing? I thought we were just going to use that room for storage and stuff.”

 

“Change of plans Naruto. Help me out here. I have a feeling it's about to be in use.” Gaara said no longer angry at his blonde roommate. In fact seeing Hinata in front of his door crying was still on his mind that he didn't even hear Naruto speak. “I'm sorry did you say something Naruto?”

 

“I asked if there was someone in the bathroom, because the water is running.” Naruto asked wondering what was on his roommates mind.

 

“Yes there is, and you will find out when I find out. Come on I think she will be out in a few minutes the water stopped.” Gaara had said after mostly cleaning out the room. Following Gaara Naruto found himself sitting in the living room waiting for their guest.

 

“Gaara” Hinata said stepping into the room wearing an old pair of black baggy sweatpants and a long shirt that went to her knees. Walking into the room Hinata saw both Naruto and Gaara sitting there.

 

“Hinata” Naruto said rushing to give Hinata a hug. “How have you been?” He asked as he wrapped him arms around Hinata's back to give her a big hug.

 

Seeing Hinata wince in pain Gaara said “Naruto let her down now. I think she's hurt.”

 

Naruto taking in the look on Hinata's face quickly put her down and began to apologize. “I'm sorry Hinata I didn't know.”

 

“It's ok Naru-chan” Hinata said with a smile. “I missed you also.” Walking to take a seat on the couch next to Gaara, Hinata took in both of their serious faces.

 

“Hinata” Gaara said “while I am always happy to see you. What are you doing here? I don't want you to get into trouble.”

 

“I won't be” Hinata said sadly.

 

Taking a deep breath Naruto asked “Why wouldn't you be?”

 

“I've been disowned and denounced. I am no longer a part of the Hyuuga clan and apparently never was.” Hinata began.

 

Not sure if he should be there for the discussion Naruto said “I will go and get some Ramen for dinner and will bring some back. Do you guys want anything while I'm away?” Seeing the two shake their heads no, Naruto got on his shoes, jacket and umbrella and went out the door.

 

“That was surprisingly smart of Naruto” Gaara said with a small smile. “Now tell me everything Hinata, since I left.”

 

Hinata told him about not being allowed to visit either Gaara or Naruto, but could visit the Uchiha family and her friend. She explained the draining affect she had on her chakra using the Byukugan.

 

Interrupting her Gaara said “That's nice and all Hinata but why are you here now?”

 

Continuing on Hinata explained about the beating for losing in battle with Hanabi and the final fight. When Hinata got to the part about almost killing Hanabi with water because Hanabi was trying to kill her and no one was going to stop her Gaara got mad. When she explained how Hiashi stopped her and what he had said Gaara was shaking his fist.

 

“Can I stay here Gaara?” Hinata asked in a small voice hoping that her brother would let her.

 

“Of course” Gaara said “it's why I got a three bedroom. I had a feeling you would come and stay some. Besides I can't throw my own twin out in the rain can I?” The last part he said with a genuine smile and reached out and tweaked her hair, like he did when they were children.

 

Seeing Gaara be so accepting Hinata reached over and gave her brother a hug. “Thank you nii-san” Hinata said with a smile. “I always told you, you were my brother.”

 

Laughing at the memory Gaara said “Yes you did. Now how did you control water?”

 

“I'm not sure” Hinata said “I just remember feeling it there and lifting it up. I don't know how I did it.”

 

“I need to see something Hinata” Gaara said. “Let me see your stomach, and start channeling chakra.” Hinata did as she was asked. If anyone else had asked, Hinata would have refused but she knew her brother would never try anything. Feeling the chakra flow through her Gaara soon said “You can stop now; I think I figured it out.”

 

“Really oh wise one and what is that?” Hinata said with a teasing grin. It was nice to pick on her brother again.

 

“You have a seal like I do. I would say you have a demon in you also. Considering we are twins that isn't too surprising. We will have to wait until your demon awakens before we can find out.” Gaara said. “I'm not going to say anything to Naruto, Hinata it's not my place. Whether you decide to or not is your choice. For the record he finally told me about his and vice versa, but he was always more open with you.” Standing up and giving Hinata a hug Gaara said “It's good to have you back nee-chan.”

 

“It's good to be back” Hinata said returning the hug. “Now where is Naruto with the food? I am starving.”

 

“I'm back” said Naruto from the door “and I brought ramen!”

 

“Yeah!” said Hinata controlling herself from jumping up and down into the kitchen. “Is it any good?”

 

Putting a hand over his heart Naruto said “Hinata-chan, how can you not try the wonderfulness that is ramen?” Leading Hinata to a chair in the kitchen Naruto placed a bowl of the noodle goodness in front of her to eat watching her take a big bite.

 

“Hey this is good” Hinata said before getting another small bite. While she may not be one she did have the manners of a Hyuuga.

 

Setting the bowls down in front of Gaara and himself Naruto quickly began to eat through the bowls. When dinner was done Gaara said “Alright everyone off to bed, we have school tomorrow.”

 

“About that I will need to transfer over so can I walk with you guys tomorrow?” Hinata asked unsure if they want to be seen in public with her.

 

“Then we shall get up earlier” Gaara said standing up and without even looking over his shoulder he continued “and that means you Naruto.”

 

At that Hinata began to laugh for the first time in a long time. “Glad to see I am your amusement Hinata-chan. Now your room is the one in the middle. Sorry it's a mess we will finish getting it ready tomorrow but for now that beds made.” Giving Hinata a small hug Naruto said “It's great to have you back Hina-chan” before heading off to his room to sleep.

 

Standing up Hinata put her dish in the sink before going to her room with a small blush on her face. Lying down on her freshly made bed she pictured Naruto's big blue eyes and blond spiky hair and thought `now when did Naru-chan get to be cute?' before falling asleep.
