Chapter 3

Winds of Change

It has been two months since Nahiko had come to live with Maleficent, and a lot had happened sense then. During that time, the crow that had once served under Maleficent had appeared before her one early morning. It was the morning of December 26th and it was a big day for the village, first because of the peace talks between Konoha and Kumo where underway and the two shinobi that had been hand selected by the 3rd Raikage have just arrived in the village, just as she was walking with her daughter to the park. Young Nahiko wish to go and play with the other children and had made a friend there the other day, so she hoped that little Hinata would be there today to play to. Which brings us to the second biggest thing going on in the village today: The Hyuuga Clan Heiress 8th birthday, which sadly was also the day that her eldest cousin would be marked with the family curse seal, forcing the young boy into becoming a slave to his young cousin and clan heiress.

Hinata had asked her mother if they could go to the park for a while before all the clan business got underway. With a gentle smile, Minako nodded her head and took her daughter to the park to play with the only child who seem not frighten by her eyes. In other reason to go is that she enjoys her chat with the little girl's adoptive mother, even though the woman was quite strange.

"HINATA-CHAN! You made it!" Yelled Nahiko as she ran while waving her little arms wildly in the air at her best friend.

Minako brought up her left hand covered in her long lavender sleeves and giggled at the little girls antics.

"H-Hello N-Nahiko-kun." Stuttered Hinata as she bowed to her best friend in greeting.

Maleficent comes walking up over the hill to see the little girl's mother, that appeared to be heavy with child and ready to pop any second now. "Good morning Minako." Said Maleficent with a nod of her head to the woman before her.

"Good morning Maleficent-sama." Said Minako with a small smile. "How are you this lovely morning?" She questions.

"I am well. Just out enjoy this fine crisp December morning with my little beasty." Said Maleficent with a smirk as she looks over at her daughter making flower crowns with the other little girl.

Maleficent pet her pet crow as she glanced back over at Minako. "It appears you will be having your second child any day now." She tells the Clan mother.

"Yes. Hinata-chan can't wait to be a big sister." Said Minako as she softly smiles while rubbing her swollen belly.

Nahiko and Hinata giggled and talk while making their crowns until a little girl with long blonde hair in a high pony tail wonders over to them as she is being shadowed by a little girl with long pink hair being held back with a red ribbon.

"What are you two up too?" Asked the little blonde.

"We are just making flower crowns." Replies Nahiko, not looking up from the daisy's she is wrapping around several red roses she had found in the Forest of Death before coming to the park to play with her best friend.

"Do you mind if we join you?" Asked the blonde hair girl.

Hinata looks up and softly smiles. "S-sure." She tells the two girls.

"Ino, I don't know if we should play with them." Said the little girl with pink hair to the now named Ino.

Ino's pale teal eyes look over at the jade green eyes that hold fear and anxiety within them. "Why not?" She questions while putting her balled up fist on her cocked left hip while looking at the pinkette with narrowed eyes.

"It's because the villagers don't like me, and I think her mother or father is on the civilian council and have drilled into her head to keep away from me." Said Nahiko, looking up for just a second to grab several more daisy's.

Ino looks over at Nahiko and back over to the pinkette. "Well, Daddy and mommy told me it is fine to play with her. She has never done anything wrong. Also my Daddy is on the shinobi council and knows more then what the civilians do." She told the pinkette with a grin. "So we are going to play with her."

The pinkette sits down, not close enough to get into trouble from her mommy, but still close to her friend.

"I'm Ino Yamanaka and this is Sakura Haruno." Said Ino as she smiles at the two girls.

"I-I'm Hinata Hyuuga." Says Hinata while bowing to the Yamanaka heiress.

"I'm Nahiko Uzumaki, and future Hokage of this village." Said Nahiko with a cheesy grin on her face. "It's nice to meet you both." She adds as her mother's crow lands on her head and pecks her. "I know Diaval. I did tell them it was nice to meet them." She whined before batting him away from her head.

Ino arched a brow to the strange bird. "Nahiko, Who's bird does that belong to?" She question the little blonde.

Nahiko looks over at Ino. "He belongs to my mommy Maleficent." She tells the girls as Hinata just giggles behind her powder purple sleeve.

"You mean that devil woman with horns is your mommy?" Question Sakura with wide eyes as she heard her mommy talk about Maleficent and had seen her mommy point the woman out to her friends while Sakura was just standing right next to her, hiding behind her leg in the market place.

Nahiko puffs out her cheeks. "My mommy isn't a devil. She is a Fae." She tells the girls as Ino and Sakura look at her confused.

"What's a Fae?" Question Ino as she had never heard that word before.

Nahiko grins. "Fae is in other word for Fairy. She was once the Queen of Fairies, but she became a dark Fairy when a bad king cut off her wings long ago, and then a Fairy Godmother too the daughter of said bad king. So now, one could say she is my Fairy Godmother." She told the girls as their eyes widen at hearing the woman that Sakura's mommy calls a devil, is really a Fairy Godmother.

A man and woman with forehead protectors with the same pale eyes as Hinata and her mother came walking over with a little girl, about four years younger than Hinata swinging in their arms. "Mommy!" Yelled the little girl as she jumped out of the two people's hands and raced over to her mother.

Maleficent studied the two new comers and child, and could feel a strange energy coming from their foreheads. So, she swirled her hand over the green circle crystal on her staff to see what the strange energy was on the two people. As she gazed into the staff crystal ball, she saw what was happening. She saw how their clan branded their lesser clansmen as slaves and those two before her are slaves, but her crystal also shows her that the same fate will befall Hinata and maybe the other child. But it appears the younger daughter is favored by the Elders of the Clan as the parents...well more the mother, loves her children dearly and the father...he is just a freaking puppet for their clan elders.

Maleficent didn't enjoy what she had seen and scowled heavily.

Minako watched the swirling in the strange little ball, but wasn't able to see what was making the woman across her scowl.

"What's wrong Maleficent-chan?" Asked Minako with a tilted head to the side.

Maleficent looks over to the woman still with a frown. "Your clan will be your child's downfall." Was all she said as she saw a man with long brown hair and pale eye marching over to them with a frown on his face. He scowled over at Hinata as the silent eldest child giggled with other children, just proving to himself and the other Elders of his clan that she is just useless.

Minako looks up and smiles at seeing her husband walking over to them. "Oh Hisashi-kun. What are you doing here?" She questions her husband as she slowly raises to her feet.

Hisashi closes his eyes. "It is time to come home. The Elders wish to begin Hinata's birthday and Neji's sealing." He tells his wife.

Just hearing this, Minako's smile fades away and she frowns at hearing this. "Dear, I thought you said you wouldn't be doing that to Neji-kun." She protests.

Maleficent cocked a brow to this. 'Really. They are cursed by their narrow mind and foolish pride.' She thinks to herself.

"Minako-chan it is final. It will be happening after Hinata's birthday." Said Hisashi with another frown.

Minako looks over at Maleficent. "I am sorry Maleficent-sama. We will have to meet up another day." She tells the Fae woman.

Maleficent waves her off. "Do not worry about it Minako. Just have a safe night." She tells the woman with a smile on her face.

Hisashi walks over to Hinata and grabs her hand as she is covering her face, giggling at Ino and Nahiko. Hinata eeps and jumps slightly as her father yanks on her arm and pulls her up to her feet. "We are leaving." He tells his daughter, just dragging her along as his other daughter runs behind them.

Green and black flames could be seen licking at her feet. This enraged her how his man is treating his daughter before her. This was uncalled for.

Hisashi never saw this as he was too busy with his head so far up his ass.

Nahiko looks over at her mother with tears welling up in her eyes as she did not understand why her best friend's father was so mean and pulled her that way. What frighten her was the fact that she heard Hinata's arm pop out of its socket. That what was making her want to cry this very second.

Diaval flies up into the air and shifts into a man with raven hair and green eyes and kneels down before his little Mistress. "Please do not cry little kit. I will watch over your friend tonight and make sure nothing bad happens to her. If I see something wrong, I will swoop in and spirit her away." He tells her with a large smile on his face.

Nahiko smiles and jumps into his arms as Maleficent walks up behind him. "You better keep your word to her. Her trust is golden and pure." She tells her feathered servant.

"My lady, I will always keep my word to my little kit." Said Diaval as he bows to his Mistress.

"Good." said Maleficent as she nods her head and turns away from them. "I will be leaving to the Hokage tower soon. I have a meeting with the old monkey, and I do expect you to keep an eye on my little beasty." She tells him and walks back over where she had been sitting with Minako. 'What I saw in my crystal. Minako will not be long for this world and I am unsure if her son will live or die tonight alongside his mother.' she thought grimly to herself as she watches her little beasty play with the other two beastly.

She will need to keep an eye on the pink hair one the most, for her mother is an accursed banshee that has somehow made it from the old world and should know who her TRUE MASTER IS! She then sighed as she just enjoyed the peaceful park, sense the other parents feared her and did not want to allow their children around her little beasty.

Evening Hokage's Tower

Maleficent slowly walks through the village, watching the villagers making their way home from the party they had earlier for the Kumo Shinobi earlier that day. Those fools honestly believe there will be peace between these two villages. She just scuffs as she saw one of the Kumo Shinobi walking down the street. He appeared to be looking for a restaurant as he had a map of all the local shops in the village. But she narrows her emerald green eyes at him as he gave her a bad vibe.

The two Chunin standing at the entrance of the Hokage tower open the double doors for the tower. "Good evening Madam." They tell her.

Maleficent walks up the long staircase to the old man's office. Without knocking, the door opens, and the three elders came storming out, glaring at the Fae that stands before them.

Danzo narrow his single eye at her.

"What do you want monkey?" Question Maleficent as she glares at the bandage wrapped man.

"You shouldn't have the jinchuriki." He growls out at the horned woman.

With a smirk, Maleficent's eyes flash a sickly green. "She isn't a weapon. She is just a child forced into something that was out of her control. But now do not worry about her now." She tells him.

"You should just hand her back to me." Growled Danzo.

"No. You will not have my daughter." Said Maleficent, ready to kill the man right then and there.

The 3rd Hokage comes walking to the door. "Danzo if I were you. I would stop here before she ends you here and now." He tells his old teammate.

Danzo looks over at the foolish old man. "What do you know. You are the fool that handed over our greatest weapon to this creature." He hisses out at the man.

Sarutobi lets out a tired sigh. This had been the same fight he had been having with the old war hawk for the past several months, since Maleficent had awoke from her slumber and had taken the girl home with her into the forest of death. With a smirk, an idea came to mind. "Under Uzumaki Clan law. I must hand over the Clan heiress to the last living member of the clan to be raised in the clan ways. As Nahiko is the last Uzumaki living that we know of, and Maleficent-sama is also an Uzumaki. Nahiko has every right to be with her family." He explains to Danzo and the two other elders in hopes this would work and save him from a headache for a few days.

"If she is an Uzumaki, then she should be placed in the CRA." Demand the only female Elder.

"No, I will not be used as a bred mare." Said Maleficent as she pushes past them and walks into the office, she was done with them and their demands.

Before the three fools could say anything else, Maleficent pulls the Hokage in and slams the door in their faces, what needs to be talked about did not matter to them.

Sarutobi chuckles at her. "I see you still haven't come eye to eye with them just yet." He tells her.

She looks over her shoulder. "That would be a very cold day in hell when it happens." She tells him with a smirk on her face as she walks over to the chairs.

"So what is this about the Uzumaki Clan and myself?" Question Maleficent with a raised eyebrow.

Sarutobi walked over to a wall that began glowing before him. "The runes you use. It matches the ancient symbols the Uzumaki clan use in their seals. I am sure you have seen the seal on the Hyuuga clan branch family. It was stolen by one of the elders once the village fell. But with Nahiko being the last of her clan, I figure you would be the best to teach her in her clan mystical arts." He tells her as he picks up several large seals and walks back over to her.

Hyuuga Clan Estate

Hinata was in her room balling, her eyes out as she was forced to watch her older cousin being sealed before her eyes. The pain he was forced to go through. "Why?" She question between her tears.

In the shadows of the of the Hyuuga compound, a man stalked the shadows and quickly sidestep out of sight of the all-seeing eyes of the branch family slave guards. But behind the man, a Main member of the family chuckled as he could not believe the money that he received for sealing the eldest daughter of the Clan head. The man figure his granddaughter was useless and that his useless daughter-in-law was going to give him a grandson soon. So Hinata would be replaced no matter what, as his eldest son was useless and worthless as well. He should have branded him and taken his second born into the main family, for that fool did something right and gave him a grandson.

Minako walked slowly to the kitchen to make herself and Hinata a cup of tea to place both of them at ease. A nice lavender mint tea would do some wonders for their nerves with the hell they had been placed through. She was just grateful her youngest did not have to see the branding of her cousin.

Once the Tea's done, Minako set it all on a tray and slowly walks out of the kitchen, with her large swollen belly giving her a little trouble of holding the tray. She makes her way down the dark hallway that was normally lite with candles to her eldest child's room. 'Hmm...this is strange. Did Ko forget to light the candles again?' She thought to herself as she slowly made her way to her daughter's bedroom, where she found the door open slightly and could hear something.

"Come here you little brat. I paid good money for you." Growled a man as he grabbed Hinata by the hair and throw her into the burlap sack he had laying on her bed. Muffed cries could be heard coming from the bedroom as the man slid open the bedroom window as it lead to his freedom.

"What are you doing?" Came a female voice from behind the man. He glances over his shoulder to see the mother of the girl standing before him.

He had a sickening grin on his face. "I am just taking my future bride with me." He told her with an evil look in his eyes as a kunai appeared in his hands and he threw it at her. Before she could react in time, the kunai struck her in the left shoulder with such force her body slammed into the wall and she went into labor with screams of pain and horror as the man vanished into the night.

Hokage Tower

Maleficent felt the magical charm she had placed on Minako be broken from being attack. But luck was on her side, she had just finished speaking with the Hokage about the scroll from the girl's mother's home village that was sadly lost so long ago. With said scrolls tucked away, she left the Hokage's tower to just wonder around the quiet village. Just a villager making his way home from the bar, or a shinobi returning or leaving from a missions. It was a lovely night in her mind as the full moon above lit her path towards the clan district. She would pay Minako a visit before returning home and reset her magical charm. For it could have been only false labor pains that could have set it off. But in the corner of her eye, she caught sight of something that she saw in her little crystal ball. The sight of a mysterious shinobi not of this village running in the shadows with a burlap sack over his shoulder and the cries of a little girl coming from it.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Question Maleficent as she used her mighty wings to push off the ground and fly over the man. As he saw darkness over take him, he stopped and slowly look up. The last thing he saw was flaming emerald green eyes before his body busted into green flames and the sack he was carrying fell to the ground and rolled away from him.

Hyuuga compound

Minako cried and pushed as she gave birth to her son while Hiashi held her hand in a rare gesture of comfort. "You are doing find my dear." He reassures her.

"You bastard. Why are you not out there looking for our eldest daughter?" Minako cries out with one final push. Cries filled the room with the midwife and nurses take the child away to have him clean.

Hiashi looked away from his wife. "She is gone." He tells his wife. She begins sobbing as she is losing to much blood and is slowly dying from the poison from the kunai that had stabbed her. "You bastard I will never forgive you. Maleficent was right, you will always put those bastard's first before your own children. I pray our son doesn't turn out like you and those bastards." She tells him with her final breath.

Seconds after, a circle of black and green flames encircled a forms. The form begins to take shape, one of a woman with long black hair and flaming green eyes, ivory skin and black wings with horns sticking out of it. "I see she has passed. As a final gift to her will she'll be enacted now." declared Maleficent as she held a sleeping Hinata in her arms and vanishes to reappear in the Hokage's office once more.

Hokage Office

Swirls of green and black flames appeared before the old Hokage as he was finalizing his paperwork for the evening. Looking up, he let out a sigh, Maleficent returning to his office like this after leaving it not even in hour ago, could mean nothing good at all.

"We have to talk about something you witnessed for myself and Minako not to long ago." Said Maleficent as she walked over to the leather chair before his desk, still cradling the sleeping Hinata.

Two days later, Hisashi had appeared in the Hokage's office to report his eldest daughter missing as well as the passing of his wife and birth of his son Hito.

"Hokage-sama. I have come to report to you that Minako has passed away on the eve of December 26, and that my eldest daughter has gone missing." Said Hisashi as he looked up to his village leader.

Sarutobi for his part, just let out a sigh for he already knew of Minako's passing with his crystal ball after Maleficent had appeared in his office with a sleeping Hinata, after informing him of killing the shinobi from Kumo, who had claimed little Hinata to be his future bride.

"I already know of Minako-chan's passing Hiashi-San, as well as Hinata-chan going missing. She had been kidnapped the night your wife had gone into labor." Said Sarutobi as he held up his hand, stopping Hisashi from yelling.

"And before your wife died, she had come to me and asked me to take care of Hinata and made a will, one you knew nothing of, Nor those your clan elders." Came a voice from the shadows of the office.

Both men turn to look into the darkest shadows of the office that had not been there before, and out stepped Maleficent. She had a wicked smile on her face as she threw Minako Hyuuga's final Will and Testament on the Hokage's desk before the woman's former husband.

"I am now Hinata's legal guardian. Those are the wishes of your late wife sense your Elder Council have been working in the shadows behind your back to get rid of her, and you allowed yourself to be a puppet to their whim for far too long." Said Maleficent as Hisashi glares at her with his pale eyes.

"You will return my daughter now." Growled out Hisashi, not believing what she just said.

"No." Was all Maleficent said as she smirks at him.

"What do you mean no?" Hisashi demanded as he was beginning to stand up.

"She means no for Minako took this out of all our hands and had our Fire Lord approve this, sense he was her brother after all." Said Sarutobi as he took out his old pipe to light it up.

"As such, you nor your foolish clan have the power to demand that damn seal on the girl and if you try...…" Said Maleficent as her emerald green eyes began glowing and turning into a sickly yellowish green color with slits. "I will show you a creature that make what the Kyubi did 8 years ago look like child's play." She told him.

Hisashi made a fist as he glared at the woman that stood before him, "This will not be the end of this." He growls out as he storms out of the office to inform his father and the other elders of this new turn of events.

Maleficent turns to the Hokage. "If anyone from his clan comes after Hinata, I will take lethal force, I hope you understand." She warned him and vanished into a spiral of flame.

Hyuuga Compound

Hisashi returns back to the Clan Compound, storming in past the two branch members standing guard at the entrance. "Lord Hisashi." Both of them say as they quickly bow to him. He waves them off and walks straight towards the Clan Council Chambers to have his meeting fallowing up with the one he just had with the Hokage about his missing daughter.

Pushing the doors open, all the Elders of the Main Clan glance over at him, as the only Elder for the Branch Family bows his head to the man standing at the open doorway.

"What did the Hokage say about your daughter?" Demanded Hisashi's father and former Clan head.

Taking in a deep breath and walking across the room to his seat, he sits down slowly before them and leveling them all with a cold leveled glare. "It appears my daughter was kidnapped. But was saved the very night she was taken." He tells them.

"Who saved the girl and why isn't she here with you?" Demanded his father. 'Dammit, this does me no good. Oh well. I can always sell her once more later.' He things to himself while gritting his teeth slightly.

''The Devil woman that Minako was friends with, Maleficent, as well Minako herself had the bad idea that if anything would ever happen to herself, then Hinata would be placed into that devil woman's care out of the clan's reach, and has the backing of both the Hokage and the Fire Lord. Leaving us Powerless." Hisashi informs them all.

"What do you mean leaving us powerless over the girl. We have every right to brand her as a branch member if she will not be in the protection of our clan walls." Growls Hisashi's mother.

"We are not allowed to brand her, and even if we managed to, that Devil woman knows how to break our clan seal." Said Hiashi while looking away from them.

The room fell quiet as the only branch member Elder had his wheels turning. with this new information, they could be free of the hell they had been forced into.

This also left all the Main Clan Elder's that were left all speechless at that little statement, and slowly looked at the lone member of the Branch family as the poor man held his hands up. "I promise you. We are all loyal to our family and Clan." He tells them with all honesty as he would not tip his hand this early on.

They nod their heads in an agreement. "Good, or you wouldn't like what would happen." Said Hisashi's mother as she smirks at the poor man.

'She is my own mother and is heartless and cold to even myself.' Thought Hizashi.

"This is enough. One way or the other, we will find a way to seal Hinata and take her back." Growled out Hiashi as he looks at the others.

Forest of Death

Nahiko and Hinata sit in their shared bedroom, reading the Uzumaki and Hyuuga scrolls that Maleficent had given them and having Diaval watching over them.

"Nahiko-chan." Said Hinata just above a whisper.

Nahiko looks over at Hinata. "Yeah Hinata-chan?" Question the little blonde.

"Do you really think Maleficent-Kaasen will keep me safe?" Question Hinata as she looks over at her adopted sister with worry in her eyes.

Nahiko grins. "Don't worry, mommy will take care of us and if your piggy daddy comes for you. She will turn him into what he truly is." She tells her with a large grin on her face, knowing that was one of Maleficent favorite tricks.

Hinata slowly nods her head to this.

"Do not worry my little bunny. Mistress will keep you safe from your old worthless, power hunger clan." Said Diaval with a smirk on his face as he is willing to do everything and anything to help his darling tiny Mistresses before him.

Maleficent stands in the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest as she listens in on what the little girls say and what her pet told them to keep them at ease.

"Do not worry my darlings. For I will do all in my power and will to keep you safe." Said Maleficent as she walks into their bedroom to see how far they have gotten in their studies.
