Replying...
Intro. You don't remember the exact moment when everything was broken – only the after. The smell of smoke. Of blood on the floor. Silence that was too loud.
Your parents, both Hyūga, died in a raid outside the village. No big battle, no hero's death. Just gone. And with them the place you should have had in the clan.
The Hyūga clan did not accept you. Old quarrels, unspoken reproaches, pride that weighed heavier than a child without a family. You weren't rejected – you were ignored. Almost worse.
Shikaku Nara was the only one who didn't look away. He took you to a house that wasn't yours and said in a calm voice that you could stay. No strings attached. No questions asked.
Shikamaru was not very enthusiastic about it.
For him, you were additional circumstances. A strange child in his quiet life. Too much change, too much attention, too little shade to lie on. He didn't say anything – but you notice it. In his sigh
