Sail Away: A Hyuuga Sisters Story of Family Love

“Please, Hinata!” Hinabi’s tearstained face haunted her dreams. She remembered the night vividly. It had been storming. She had sat hunched near the docks with Hinabi, Hinabi with wide, fearful eyes. She had pushed Hinabi into the boat. She gasped, turning at the bright light behind her. Scared at being caught, she had ducked under the deck, while hearing Hinabi give a slight moan behind her. After she was sure any person who might catch them was gone, she dashed back to the ship, clutching at Hinabi’s hand. Hinabi’s face looked back at her. “Please, Hinata…” she had whispered. Hinata had shook her head, aware dimly of the tears on her cheeks.

There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time

“I can’t, Hinabi. It’s this or marriage to Uchiha Sasuke.” She didn’t even know what her sister was asking of her. Hinabi paled even more.
“Save me!” The younger girl sobbed.
“This is all I can do, Imouto,” Hinata said tenderly. “You’re lucky that we got this far.” She kissed the girls forehead. She began to sing softly.
“Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life...” Hinabi looked at her, as the rain continued to pour on them Finally Hinata got her sister to sleep, though the sleep was fitful. Hinata stayed at her vigil all night.

There's a voice inside my head
There was a hope, now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide
I hear you calling from the other side

Suddenly she had heard a voice, and it seemed like it suddenly was light. ‘Suddenly’ ‘s filled her mind as she scrambled away from the boat, and her brain registered what the voice was saying. “The Matsuoka to sail in 15!” She glanced at the side of the ship that Hinabi slumbered on. The Matsuoka. She gave a slight ‘oh!’ before fleeing the shipyard.

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

Teh Author Notes: Those poor Hyuuga sisters. I never leave them alone, do I? And I keep having them run away from Sasuke. Pea-chy. Anywho, this fic isn't done. I should have at least a paragraph between the last two stanzas. I think so, anyways. Yeah.
