   One-Shot Request: Pocky?
I. Hiko looked out his window in Mi's hideout. His long, wet black hair was draped over his pale shoulder. He had let his robe fall so he could feel the pleasant summer breeze. His hitai-ate was abandoned on his bed so that his curse mark was showing. He sighed. There were no birds in Otogakure. He wanted to see those beautiful, free creatures again. He pulled his white robe over his shoulders, sighing again.
Yamitsuki watched other children play from her hospital window. Her long, shiny black hair had ben put into a stylish up-do by Sango and Kureko earlier that day. It was primarily for the doctors so they didn't have to constantly move it when changing the bandages on her wounds. She sighed. The birds flew freely in Konoha. She watched the animal's her teammate so admired with tears in her eyes. She hung her head, thinking back.
Flames. Most of the Hyuga household and land was engulfed. Yamitsuki watched in horror. "H... Hanabi-oba-san... Miko-kun..." she whispered. she jolted upwards at the sounds of a cackling boy. "Hiko-san!" she screamed, running towards him.
Hiko looked abslutely insane. He held a bloody kunai in one hand, and there were the marks of Rotation beaten into the ground around him. "H..Hiko-san?" Yamitsuki whispered. Hiko chuckled menacingly. "What happened, Hiko-san?" she whispered again. "I snapped. The Hell do you think happened?" Hiko said in his calm, usual voice. Yamitsuki shuddered. It was so... so...
"You did this?" she asked, her throat dry. Hiko nodded. Yamitsuki felt sick. "Why?" she asked, tears in her eyes. "You're so totally trusting, Lady Lotus." he said. Yamitsuki really started crying at that. "No..." she hiccuped.
Hiko wasn't Hiko anymore to her. He looked like Samaru, that day she had followed him, tried to bring him back by killing them both. He had the same mocking smile Samaru had. The same hate-filled eyes. The same facial expression. It all screamed Samaru.
Hiko turned to leave.
"I CANNOT FAIL AGAIN!!" she screamed, getting off her knees. She lunged for Hiko.
Hiko had been prepared to fend off an attack, but instead felt a warm embrace. His eyebrows were raised in perplexion. Yamitsuki was crying, hugging Hiko from the back. "I can't lose you too, Hiko-chan... Not after losing Samaru, and Sanosuke, Yashako..." she said weakly. Hiko couldn't understand the feeling that gripped him. It was suffocating,
(and releasing)
Painful,
(and wonderful)
Sickening,
(and healing)
and a cage.
(And freedom).
He heard three words from a child's mouth ring in his ears.
"Hiko-onii want pocky?"
He knew it was love in that instant, like he had realized it as a child.
"I'll... make you some more pocky, Hiko-chan." Yamitsuki sobbed. "Just... Don't BREAK me like this..." she begged. Hiko remained silent.
A kunai dug into her left lung as a juken attack pierced her chest.
Just before conciesness left her, she saw the man she called rival... the stoic, mistreated boy... Leader of the Hyuga Cadet Branch... actually...
Cry?
Yamitsuki's head hit her desk as she sobbed. Her heart was shattered from then on. She tried to speak, but her mouth would not say the damned name.
"Hiko"
II. His favorite food was pocky. He'd never admit it. Hiko had never liked strong foods, but he loved pocky. It was innocence to him. Kindness. He took a bite of pocky and chewed, lost in thought. His hitai-ate was still on his bed. His curse mark showed. He was lost in memories.
"Hiko, you must be a good boy and protect Yamitsuki-san. Hai?" Hanabi instructed the young leader of the Cadet Branch. "Hai, Hanabi-sama.' Hiko responded. He was 4 at the time, still 'innocent'.
He was escorted outside, where Hinata and Yamitsuki were waiting. Hiko smiled. Hinata-san was always so kind! Like the mother he never had. And Yamitsuki... He didn't know much, but if Hinata was 'mother', that made Yamitsuki 'sister'.
Hinata was somber, though. She didn't smile back. Hiko cocked his head in confusion. "Hinata-san... Yamitsuki-sama." Hiko said with a small bow. He giggled. How was Yamitsuki on a higher level than her mother? It was funny to the young boy. Hanabi gently smacked him upside the head. Hiko rubbed the area where hand met head, scowling.
"Hiko is now to become an official member of the Cadet Branch, Ane-san." Hanabi said. Hinata nodded. Hiko suddenly felt excited. Him, an official Cadet Branch member! Yamitsuki smiled and waved furiously at her second cousin. "Hi!!" she squealed. "I'm 3 today!!" she giggled. "Oh, congratulations on Yamitsuki-sama's 3rd birthday, Ane-san." Hanabi said pleasantly. Hiko giggled. "Happy Birthday, Yamitsuki-Ne-chan!" he said. Hanabi glared at Hiko. "It's Yamitsuki-sama!" she exclaimed in a voice reserved for her ANBU subordinates. Even Hinata flinched. "Hana-chan, it's no big deal!" she said with a sweatdrop.
Hiko didn't know what he was in for. He reflected on that as he picked his ink brush up. He knew what to draw. A lotus, with a bird. She'd like that. He smiled warmly with the first ink mark he put upon the scroll.
11 years earlier, Hiko had been crying somewhere on Hyuga land. A few footsteps came within mere cenimeters. Let them find him. He was caged anyway.
Yamitsuki stepped towards him. Hiko spat at her, then brought her small, pale hand up to the mark on his forehead. "You're the reason I have this! YOU are my cage!" he screached. Yamitsuki did not flinch, like others would have done at such an outburst of fury. She brought her free hand out from behind her back. "Pocky?" she asked. Hiko blinked, looking at the item in her hand. A bar of ramen-flavored pocky. It looked super gross to him. "Ramen and pocky? I think I'd rather barf!" he said, letting go of her. yamitsuki shook her head and pulled another bar of pocky out of her kimono obi. This one was teriyaki flavor. Hiko liked teriyaki.
"Hiko-onii want pocky?" Yamitsuki said, etching her memory into Hiko's mind. She took a bite of the ramen-flavor. Hiko accepted her gift. "Thanks..." he muttered.
Yamitsuki hugged him as they both tumbled to the ground, pocky in hand. "Onii-kun likes Yamitsuki's pocky! Onii-kun doesn't call Yamitsuki 'Sama'! Onii-kun, Yamitsuki loves her Onii-kun!"
Hiko finished his work, smiling. He put on a dark blue cloak and walked out of the hideout.
III. Yamitsuki slept peacefuly in her hospital bed. It had ben three days since her heart had shattered, a week since Hiko left. She was lost in dreams of her and Hiko training and talking in an endless sunset.
And Hiko had wings, so he could fly with the birds and carry her away from her fate.
Hiko walked silently into the hospital room. He set a wreath of black roses and lotus' in her hands. He set the scroll he carried on the table next to her bed. He looked at her as she slept.
He cried as he thought of the pain he inflicted upon her. "Forgive me, Yami-kun..." he whimpered.
He then kissed her lips, on impulse. "My Lotus, blooming freely..." he whispered, smoothing her shining hair out of her face.
He left an hour later, when he heard his old sensei and his now-rivals for Yamitsuki's affections, Tentori, his old teammate, and the Kazekage, Yashako, coming down the halls. "I Love You, Yami." he whispered, crying as he spoke.
He crawled out the window as Yamitsuki awoke. She batted her eyes for a moment, then felt the wreath in her hands. It consisted of her favorite flwers. She blinked in confusion. "Who--" She looked at the table next to her. A scroll was placed with care on the edge closest to her. She opened it, hands shaking.
'FORGIVE ME, LOVE YOUR BASTARD TEAMMATE'
the top read. She giggled slightly. She pulled the rest of the scroll out.
Inside was a beautiful drawing of Hiko and herself, eating pocky in the Hyuga gardens.
Tentori entered the room first, only to see Yamitsuki crying, clutching a scroll. "Yamitsuki-kun?!" he said, concern playing with his voice.
Hiko walked up to a sweet shop just before he left Konoha.
"One Teriyaki pocky, please."

ARGH! I always write the pairings I HATE the BEST!!! HayaTsumi and HikoYami! WHY GOD WHY CAN'T I WRITE A GOOD HAYAAKI AND YASHAYAMI?!
Hiko: Because it was not fated...
Me; shut up, Lover Boy...
Hiko: I'M BRINGIN' SEXY BACK!
Me: *hits him with a bag of macaroni* OH SO TAKASHI AND AKIKO SHOULD GET TOGETHER BECAUSE HAYATEKO BELONGS TO TSUMI!? NU-UH!
Hiko: THREE-WAY TSUMI AND AKIKO WITH HAYATEKO IF YOU'RE SO HELL-BENT!!
Me: SHUT UP, LOVER BOY!!!

Um, this was a dedication to Wolfe-Ane! She even asked I RP a fight with Hiko-san, because she thought that'd be interesting...
