Gusts of wind blew through Rean's red hair as he sat next to Taichi on the green grass that stretched as far as the eye could see, minus the fact their was a river nearby, but other than that the lucious green grass was everywhere. One would not be able to even tell that this had once been home to fierce battles between the rival Uchiha and Senju Clans. As Rean listened to Taichi's story, after all he had Reans undivided attention due to the fact that Taichi had asked him a question he deemed very interesting.
- "Hey Rean? Ever wonder what it would be like to live one with the nature. Like literally, live with nature."To Rean this question was just simply something he couldnt answer. He could imagine being able to watch the way the world works, the way the natural food chain could be affected by the natural elements, the elements that just happened on their own unlike the elements that the ninja use. He began to ponder on whether ninja world was as unforgiving as the natural world. Yes Rean did want live one with nature and yet he was afraid of the uncertainties as well as the unpredictabilities of it. Where in the ninja world one problem with cause one effect where as in the natural world one problem could cause one or magnitude of effects that could build up and affect things in the future. Rean continued to listen to Taichi as he continue about returning to the age of our ancestors with no large cities or wars, just nature with its trees and beauty. Rean decided to add a mental note next to Taichi's description of nature with the addition of natures unpredictabilities.
After Taichi's question of nature he then proceeded to shed some light of who he is. He described himself as the son of nobody and a prostitute which isnt the nicest way to describe yourself or even your parents however Taichi soon made it understandable why he called his mother a prostitute as he was raised by his own grand parents instead of his mother as she was too busy sleeping around with other men. The moment Taichi then proceeded to say that a few days after his 12th birthday both of his grandparents died of a stroke Rean began to feel sorry for Taichi although he seems like one to not liking to be pitied he couldn't help it as it was just such bad luck and a terrible situation to be in since he effectively had to raise himself after his grandparents had died.
Soon after Taichi had got up and smiled at Rean indicating to him that he was ok and he didnt need to be worried about. After getting up he looked down and spoke to Rean:
- “So tell me about yourself. After all you are very, very different from all the Hyugas I see in Konohagakure. Do you have red hair because one of your parents is from the Uzumaki clan? Do you wear different attire as a form of rebellion? Come on Rean, I’m interested."As he heard this Rean inwardly sighed as he knew this was coming as soon Taichi begun to tell him about himself. However Rean decided to comply and told Rean about himself.
"I seem different from the other Hyuga's?" Rean asked rhetorically not being rude in anyway.
"I guess you could say that. You see, I wasnt born in Konoha. I was born of somewhere the border of the land of fire and my father as you know is of the Hyuga Clan. For the first 6 years of my it life was an extremely pleasant one, as young children should I had no care in the world and the only thing he had to worry about was when he was able to go out and play again with my best friend at the time Shimo. Shimo and I played together everyday and as the years past we grew even closer until my mother had died. My mother died when I was at the age of 6 and no one could look after me, Shimo's mother was to poor to look after Shimo and I at the same time. It seems my mother knew about her illness for quite sometime and had prepared an arrangement for Rean to be taken care of. A few weeks after my mothers death her funeral was arranged and an unknown man at the time who turned out to be my father had come to take me to Konoha. I never had a chance to say goodbye to Shimo before I left as my father took me straight away after the funeral had finished. To little me everything was moving to fast for me to comprehend what was happening and before I knew where he was being taken he was inside the village, looking around at the large buildings and the unknown adults and children before him especially those with the same eyes my own. A few days after I came to Konoha my father induced me into the academy to start classes."
Rean paused for a couple of seconds to allow Taichi to sink in all the information that Rean had just shared.
"I dont really know why my hair is red, my mothers as I remember was not red and my father's is not red. However there is another red headed Hyuga in the Clan, although I've never spoken to him."
"As for my clothes,I dont like the traditional Hyuga wear so I dont wear it." Rean stated the one of the reasons why he doesnt wear typical Hyuga clothing, he didnt want to worry Taichi with how he clan treated him whenever he went into the compound and Rean himself didnt talk about it as he remembered one day in the clan compound that stick with him for the rest of his life.
~~Enter Flashback ~~
Rean was on his way home from a boring yet tiring day at the ninja academy and was walking to him room in the Hyuga compound. Rean could hear his fellow clan members talking about him as though he was not there walking by.
"God look at him, how could the clan leader let that abomination live in the clan compound" - One of the elders stated loud enough for him to hear. Another lesser member of the clan called over to Rean calling him a bastard.
"Oi bastard!" the clan member called repetitively to get Rean's attention whilst throwing pieces of broken training dummies at him. As Rean turned around to tell her to stop calling him a bastard he turned to narrowly avoid being hit by the pieces of training dummies being thrown. Although he had seen her throwing the pieces of the training dummies thanks to his byakugan, he had underestimated the speed of the flying object coming towards him. Seemly spurred on by the act of another clan member more began to re throw the pieces of training dummies that had missed Rean. The amount of debris flying around the air made Rean had to make an effort to avoid them, having enough of this he shouted at them.
"STOP IT!" seemly having tears in his eyes for being picked on.
Upon hearing a shout from inside the compound the clan leader stepped out of his chambers along with Rean's Father.
"Enough of this!" commanded the clan leader as all everyone stopped what they were doing and all eyes were upon him and then towards Rean's father. Many of the clans people began to muster again, only one was audible towards Rean's father and the Clan leader.
"Look, its the bastards father. It seems as if he was having a meeting with the clan leader probably about his pathetic excuse of a son and the shame he has bought upon the clan." After hearing what was said Rean's Father looked at the Clan head and then quickly looked down as being ashamed of what he has done.
"Go to your chambers" the clan leader told Rean's father
" and take your son with you. We will continue this on a later date." he quickly stated after.
Rean's Father quickly went to where Rean was kneeling due to being exhausted from his day at ninja academy and the recent events of him having to play avoid the debris being thrown at him.
"Come.." Rean's father said with little to no emotion in his voice after Rean called up to him
" Tou-sa..." only to be cut short by his father. The look he was receiving from his father was mix between disappointment and embarrassment. This was the day Rean was to tired to defend himself from the other clan members and could only act like a child.
~~End Flashback~~
As Rean was remembering his terrible past he hoped that Taichi didnt pick up on the bluntness of his last sentence.
Rean could not help but notice much time has passed when he was just spending time training and talking to Taichi. As he looked up into the sky, putting his hand over his eyes creating a makeshift eye shield to prevent himself from looking directly at the sun. The orange/yellow ball of gas in the sky was directly above them, with almost clear skies as there was the odd small fluff could here and there, making the sky look almost perfect. Whilst looking at the position of the sun in the sky Rean realised that it must be past midday, and he had something he must do then with his father and other members of the Hyuga clan or he would never hear the end of it if he was to be late. Deciding to make a swift exit he told Taichi.
"Later Taichi, I have something I have to do at midday, and as you can tell by the suns position its roughly around that time. Sorry I should of told you about this at the beginning of the session, however this is something I cannot be late for as it involve my father and other members of my clan"
Rean turned towards the direction of the village and headed for the nearest tree to begin his journey back to the village. Rean turned back to see Taichi giving him a wave good bye with a smile on his face. Reaching the tree Rean turned back to Taichi and gave him a two handed wave goodbye. Once finished his goodbye once again turned and darted to the tree branch to begin his journey back to the village.
