If it's you

Travel to the moon,

You're asleep, as you work out your dreams

There's no one else here, while I manipulate

the stars' lights

“a little pain” Olivia

Please don’t flame, I hate to think one of you guys is a pyromaniac. ;)

The sky held the moon in its embraced, letting the moon quietly cast a faint light into an open window. The light curtains gently fluttered from the breeze outside, this made the dark haired beauty who sat in bed, clutch the white silky sheets in her hand. She look to the window, her lips unconsciously parted, a breath was caught in her throat. Her skin glowed with the help of the moonlight. While her eyes, two stunning white pearls, tinted with a hint of lavender at the centre, these eyes held an unnatural calm as if she was expecting something or someone.

She glanced at the clock beside her bed, it was only 12:30 in the morning and she sighed, knowing well, the feeling of uneasiness at the pit of her stomach. She pushed back the covers and climbed out of bed. She reached for the cigarettes and lighter that was lying on the table. She walked over to the little balcony. Her hands, slightly trembling fingers she put a long thin cigarette to her lips and lid with skill and ease. She sucked in the taste of her cigarette, letting it calm her mind escape from the static of her erratic thoughts.

Hinata Hyuuga, today is your special day she thought to herself as she blew out the trail of smoke into the night air. As eldest daughter of the one of the most prominent, respected business Hyuuga family, it was expected of her to engage to someone who has a similar background. It didn’t occur to her that father would the matter into his own hands when the time came. Her father, who never seem to taken interest in her personal life before, he allowed her to do as she pleased. Even when she choose to study music and art instead of business, her father didn’t interfere and paying for her tuition at Julliard in New York for the last five years.

Before Julliard, she was locked in an all girls fancy private school, where all the girls tend to be power hungry and she became the victim of bullying and teasing. It didn’t matter if she was the daughter of Hirashi Hyuuga, all the other girls were daughter of nobles, politicians and other powerful and famous people. They weren’t scared of her, that period of her life made shrink into herself. She became shy and awkward, and her stutter made it worse. Her only sanctuary was art, music and dance. In the roughest times, she hid herself away at the art and music room and dance studio. Soon, she excelled at piano and ballet.

Her dream was go to Julliard and study music and dance. When she finally plucked up the courage to ask her father, it surprised her how easy her father allowed her to go. She didn’t think much of it then, since she was just glad to get away from Japan. In New York, she began to meet people around the world, from France to China. In her new environment, little by little she gained courage and faced her fear of people. Soon, she was more comfortable at parties and large gatherings. In that five year, she gain more knowledge about the world and experience things that made other’s eyes glow with envy.

Just six months ago, a call of the blue, her father wanted her to return to Japan after graduation. She stalled as long before she gotten on the plane to Japan. As soon she as she arrived, her father had told her the news about her engagement to a son from a very powerful business clan. Now, she knew that her father allowed such freedom in exchange for her willingness to marry which ever money, connected family that offered best deal. How calculating her father was, she felt toyed with and trapped by her father’s methods. No matter how, she changed she thought, she still remain on the palm of his hand.

Why should he tell me who to love? she thought bitterly. She blinked back the tears, she felt frustrated like a little kid that couldn’t scream. She took a deep breath to steady her self. She had to do something about this, she wouldn’t …couldn’t let her father do this without a fight. She had promise herself, she wouldn’t end up like her mother, married off to a man who only cared the business than her. She knew that if she let her father control it now. There was no way; she will ever find happiness that she longed for. She finished the last of her cigarette and stubbed it out on the metal rail. A bitter smile touched on to her lips as she strolled back into her room. Her mind was already working on how to ruin her father’s plans for her.

“Next up on Celebrity New: The Hyuuga heiress is going to announced when the official wedding date is at tonight’s engagement party. And we will tell you who the lucky guy is after the break. ”

Ino Yamanaka raised an eyebrow and flicked the T.V off. After, stretching like a cat, she leaned back on her black leather sofa and took a sip of her orange juice. He sure wasn’t going to be happy, when he see that the engagement all over the news and papers. Her phone suddenly buzzed, making her jumped. She picked it up, knowing exactly who it was.

“Mornin’” Ino chirped cheerfully into the phone.

“Un, it’s on the news” replied the mono tone from the other line.

“Yeah, I just watched it, you know that … Hiashi , sure knows how to play it with the media ”

“It doesn’t matter, what he does now, I’ll still have the upper hand”

“Poor girl, you are going to break her heart …”

“Hn”

“But then again its your speciality isn’t it ?”

After several minutes, she hung up and nodding to his instructions, it was time for her to start on her job as well. Since, it was going to be harder than she thought it was. She smiled to herself, loving the challenge.
