I happen to have had a lot of ideas for a Sasuke love story and this one is by far the best and I couldn’t wait to write it! Enjoy.
~~~
I gazed at my reflection in the cool shimmering water… lavender eyes, very long and dark brown hair, pale skin… Sometimes I wonder if I look ordinary. Not that it matters all that much. I’m not like those girls that care only about whether or not the Uchiha will look at them.
Uchiha Sasuke. We were neck and neck for the position of number one rookie of the year. That is, until the final exam. It just so happens, that Sasuke made five clones… I made four. And so, he took first place by one point in our silent rivalry. By ‘silent rivalry’, I mean we never actually made the rivalry official. It was kind of like we both wanted the title but it wasn’t like we hated each other over it, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, Neji Onii-san was a little disappointed in me. I know he wanted me to be the number one rookie of the year like he had been last year, but what can I say? It wasn’t like Iruka-sensei gave us an exact number of clones to make.
I stood at the edge of the small pond and activated my byakugan. I made a clone and dropped to a fighting stance. I darted forward and struck out at the clone, which blocked and struck back. For a while, I battled the clone, steadily increasing my speed. Suddenly, a human shaped chakra came into my field of view. I ignored the figure until he stopped and hid behind a nearby tree. Evidently he didn’t know of my abilities otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered hiding.
I sighed, inwardly and turned towards him. A short blond haired boy wearing an orange jump suit strolled out from his ‘hiding place’. He scratched his head and laughed nervously.
“Hey…Umm, sorry to interrupt…I recognized you from Iruka-sensei’s class. You’re that girl
who never talks! Ya know, you’re pretty strong so I’d like to fight you some time!”
I raised an eyebrow. Does he really think he stands a chance against me? This boy was Uzumaki Naruto. The class clown. There is no way I am going to waste my time on someone like him.
He pointed a finger at me and yelled, “Don’t even think about doubting me!” Too late. “I am Uzumaki Naruto and I will become Hokage one day! Tell me who you are!”
“My name… is Hyūga Hotaru. I don’t have time to deal with the likes of you.”
Naruto stumbled backwards and gasped, “Whoa! Who was that! I heard a voice in my head!” He looked around franticly.
I rolled my eyes. “That was me you idiot. You see, I cannot talk verbally. That ability was taken away from me when I was three years old. Instead, I speak through telepathy.”
His eyes widened as I explained this to him. “HOW?!” he yelled, “That’s not possible!”
“Clearly it is.” I closed my eyes as images flashed through my mind:
flashback
I was three years old when it happened.
Neji and I walked through the forest. “Ne, Onii-san! It’s is your birthday, so you get to meet Hinata-sama! You’re lucky! I have to wait until next year.”
Neji laughed. ”I will get to watch her train too. I would like to see how skilled she is with our kekkei genkai.”
I knelt and plucked a daisy from the lush grass, “Onii-san, will you teach me the new things you learn while you are with Hinata-sama?” I asked eagerly.
Neji sighed and replied, “Of course I will. I have to go now so I’ll see you later okay?”
I smiled and nodded.
Once Neji had gone, a figure approached me. Startled, I jumped to my feet. He was tall and had long black hair and his face resembled that of a snake’s. He sneered and said, “You are of the side branch and have not yet been placed under the Hyūga family’s cursed seal. I could make good use of you.”
I found the man frightening and I slowly backed away. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me and hit the back of my head knocking me out. He grabbed me by the waist and jumped away with me hanging limply at his side.
When I awoke, I discovered that I was strapped to a cold metal table. Tubes were attached to my throat, head and near the corners of my eyes. It was unclear of what had happened, the only thing that was different was that from then on, I was unable to speak verbally and I could use telepathy. I remember wrenching myself free from the tubes and leather restraints with the help of my byakugan. I managed to find my way out of the hideout and return to konohagakure.
Apparently, I had only been gone for a day but nevertheless a search party had been sent out to find me. Once I was returned home, I visited the Hokage and the elders. I could not speak, however, as long as I know a person’s name and face, I can speak to them. From the information I gave, they determined that I had been kidnapped by an S-ranked villain named Orochimaru.
A little time later, I concluded that Orochimaru had not been trying to readjust my vocal organs or my optical organs. In fact, what he had really been trying to adjust was my brain waves. Because he had done very few experiments with brain waves, he mistook my vocal brain waves for my optical brain waves. Orochimaru was most likely attempting to alter my optical nerves but ended up cutting off the vocal waves. In the process of doing this, he must have accidentally unlocked a section of the brain that normal humans have not been able to reach. That is what activated the telepathy.
I was also told that the main branch had disposed of my father. Mother was devastated and abandoned her role as our mother. Neji and I became different ever since that day. When I turned four and received the cursed seal, Neji began to think that there was no way to change the fate of the low-life side branch.
Neji worked hard and became strong though, and I believe that is because a part of him wanted to prove himself wrong. I on the other hand, searched for a way to break the curse but my efforts were to no avail. I too trained hard and became strong. I hate the main branch and everyone in it. I have good reason too. They destroyed our lives and even if my cousin Hinata-sama had no part, the fact remains that she I of the main branch; she sees our pain and does nothing to lift the weight away. What is more is that she is weak; she trains but not as much as she should. She is called the princess of the Hyūga clan and yet she does not live up to her title. It is infuriating that the daughter of the main branch elder is weak and lacks confidence. If I became the strongest shinobi in the entire Hyūga clan, I would still be looked down upon and Hinata would still be treated like a queen.
end flashback
I snapped back to reality when I heard Neji calling my name. “Hotaru-chan, let’s go. We need to train.”
I turned and saw Neji, Lee and Tenten heading towards the training grounds. I followed after them, leaving Naruto to freak out over the abnormal fact that telepathy did actually exist.
I usually trained with the three of them. Neji and I practiced the normal taijutsu and trained to expand our byakugan’s 360 degree visual field. Lee worked with me on speed and I had progressed a lot. I was almost as fast as Lee was without his weights but I still needed training because it tired me out. Tenten worked with me on my ultimate defense; rotation. I practiced Ninjutsu on my own.
A few hours later, we decided to call it quits. The next day, all of the rookies were going to receive their squads. I sighed wondering if I would get a team with anyone that would actually be of some use….
