Goddess Of The Sun, Queen Of The Stars

Goddess of the Sun, Queen of the Stars

On a night shooting stars cross over Konohagakure the life of 12-year-old Hinata changes forever. A white wolf named Shiranui searched for her to end the reign of the “Planet Eaters” as she calls the enemy. The young Hyuuga awakens power beyond her imagination. But will it be enough to end the millennia-old conflict?

OP!Hinata

Goddess!Hinata   

Chapter 3: Beginning

Slowly breathing in and out Hinata stood before her classroom door.

When she goes through this door…she will start her life as kunoichi of the village hidden in the leaves.

Even with all the training she had done over the year with Shiranui, the Hyuuga Heiress was still in disbelief that she managed to become a Genin yesterday.

Also, Iruka-Senei congratulated her, as being kunoichi of the year. 

A spot Haruno Sakura would have gotten if her Hoshi-Kami friend never had stepped into her life, she was sure.

“Nervous, Hinata-Chan?”, asked Shiranui in the form of a star brooch on the dark blue Obi she wore.

As a graduation gift, Shiranui had given her a new ninja gear. 

Hinata wore a sleeveless black turtleneck made out of soft fabric. Woven in it was the plate of a headband from Konoha.

An off-the-shoulder white kimono jacket with golden trims and the already named dark blue Obi with Shiranui in the form of a silver star brooch.

Simple dark blue baggy pants and the standard ninja sandals, kunai holder and pouches on her back completed the outfit.

It was one of the most beautiful things she ever wore.

It also made her nervous.

Showing her shoulders…also her clothes did nothing to hide her..erm…developed figure…if this wasn’t a gift, Hinata would never wear such a thing.

Nervously she played with a kimono sleeve, answering her wolf companion: “Kind of…I’m not used to such clothes…also what will happen now that I’m a Genin.”

“We will cross the bridge when we get there.”, advised Shiranui. “Already making yourself freak out will do nothing good. Keeping a calm head is the key to being a good shinobi and one day a powerful goddess.”

Only because she heard the Hoshi-Kami say this for a year, Hinata managed not to sign and again saying she would never be the goddess, the Messiah, Shiranui wanted.

Did the hellish training of Shiranui turn her into the best kunoichi of her class?

Yes.

Did it turn her into the heiress her father wanted? 

Also yes.

Could she use advanced Jutsu like Kagebushin and was she not affin to all 5 elements?

Yes, Yes!

But it didn’t mean she was a goddess.

Maybe, and even thinking this made Hinata feel unworthy, a prodigy in the ninja arts.

There were still a lot of shinobi out there who would clean the floor with her without breaking a sweat.

Sadly she couldn’t win against Shiranui. She was a blockhead trough and trough.

Hinata only waited for the day she WOULD undoubtedly screw up and her wolf companion would see what big mistake she made in laying all her hopes in the Hyuuga Heiress.

So she only thanked Shiranui for her words and entered the classroom. 

Swift, she found a place to sit down, hoping no one would take note of her.

Thankful no one did.

But she took note of something pleasing.

Naruto was in the room, proudly wearing a headband.

Naruto-Kun was able to graduate…she thought happily for him.

Then Sakura and Ino formally burst into the room and all got downhill from there.

Our goddess-to-be didn’t need to see Naruto and Sasuke accidentally kiss. 

Naruto's first kiss was stolen in such a stupid way. 

She wanted to cry.

In her brooch form, Shiranui nearly died of laughter seeing the scene.

Over the past year, the Hoshi-Kami had learned that the blond boy was always good for a laugh.

Still, neither of the two females liked that Sasuke’s Fanclub beat the poor boy up.

It was a stupid accident, not like both boys wanted to lock lips.

Anyway, Iruka-Sensei finally arrived, which calmed the class down. 

He sends them all a warm and happy smile.

“Starting today, you are all official ninjas, but…You all are still new Genin…”, he began. “It’s going to get harder from here.”

He explained how they would form a group of three with a Jonin instructor as their sensei doing missions together.

Again Hinata played with her kimono sleeve. It would be nice to be with Naruto-Kun in a team…I don’t know who should be our third. I’m open to anything.

For her growth and allies, she needs…Uzumaki and Uchiha., thought Shiranui. No doubt the reincarnations of the sons of the Sage of the Six Paths will play a major role in this world…

Calmly Iruka-Sensei began to read the teams aloud, Hinata got more twitchy any second she didn’t hear Naruto’s or her name.

She didn’t want to hope…but it would be so nice to finally talk and interact with Naruto. 

Even if they were only teammates, Hinata wished to be closer to her crush.

“Next the 7th group, Uzumaki Naruto…”

So hard Hinata gripped her kimono sleeve so that Shiranui thought she would rip it apart any second.

“...Hyuuga Hinata…”

…Did she hear right?!

A tiny happy squeak came out of her mouth. Blushing she put her hands over it.

Please, let nobody have heard it…

If someone did it was forgotten since the third and last name was Sasuke Uchiha!

Not only did Naruto crumple like a balloon, but Sasuke’s Fanclub, mostly Sakura and Ino, screeched in outrage!

“Why her?!”

“This is not fair!”

“She doesn’t even like him!”

“No Sasuke-Kun belongs with me, how could destiny be so cruel!”

Oh Kami, Hinata wished to crawl into her kimono, why did it have to be off-the-shoulder?

“Girls calm down!”, shouted Iruka-Sensei over the hyestric fangirls. “Hinata was placed on the team since she is the top kunoichi. It’s tradition to put the Rookie of the Year, Sasuke here, the top kunoichi and the dead last in one team. It balances their weaknesses out.”

Naruto didn’t seem to have listened since he asked how a top student like him was placed in a team with Sasuke. Again Iruka-Sensei explained the reasons. 

Sasuke told Naruto arrogantly to not get in his way.

The two boys would surely fought each other if Iruka-Sensei hadn’t stopped them.

I take it back…not anyone with Naruto and myself…even Sakura would be better…

Damn, that sibling rivalry transcends lifetimes…my poor Hinata-Chan…

The Hyuuga and the wolf in brooch form had a sweatdrop running down.

After Iruka-Sensei called for the other teams, Shiranui took only note that Team 8 would be the Inuzuka boy, the Aburame and the Haruno-Fangirl and Team 10 Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi, it was time for lunch.

Thoughtful Hinata ate the Bento she had prepared for herself. She had wanted to ask Naruto and Sasuke out to eat with her. 

It would be good to bond with them, but she had chickened out.

For all the power she was wielding now…she still was shy and timid.

Also, her wolf friend wanted to talk with her.

So she sat down alone on a secluded bench and waited for Shiranui to speak.

“What do you know about the Sage of Six Path, Hinata-Chan?”, was she asked.

Okay, she didn’t expect that.

“Not much.”, she admitted. “Only that legends say he was the one who first unlocked Chakra and he taught it to the rest of the world.”

“Remember when last week I returned for the weekend to my home planet?”

“Yes, you didn’t want to tell me why.”

“I needed some information on this world, just in case you would be placed in a team with Naruto and Sasuke.”

The Hyuuga stopped mind-chow. Confused she looked down at her brooch.

“What? Why Shiranui-San?”

“Both are reincarnations. Important ones. Let me tell you the story of the Sage of the Six Paths.”

And she listened.

Nothing is True

… Everything is permitted.

What is real?

What is not?

Is she just turning crazy or are other powers at work?

One thing is clear Kohana will get to the bottom of this and maybe change the whole Ninja-World at the same time.

S.I. Third Shinobi World War 

Prologue: Awaking

She felt like, she was run over by an angry mob. 

Anything hurt.

Even her eyelashes.

How was that possible?!

The young girl struggled to open her eyes and slowly sat up on her bed. 

Confused she rubbed her face.

Something was…off.

She couldn’t truly explain why she felt like this. 

It was on the back of her mind. She could nearly grasp it.

Boom!

The door to her bedroom opened.

A young man with pink hair and blue eyes stepped into her room.

He had a wide grin on his face.

Who-?

Where-?

What-?

“Wakey, Wakey, Imoto-Chan!”, he hollered. “You will be late for the Academy!”

At this moment she wanted to say many things. 

Who are you? 

What are you doing in my room? 

What Academy?

But the words that came out were: “Kizashi-Nii! When did you come back from the war front?!”

From the outside, she seemed surprised and happy, on the inside the girl was freaking out.

She had no control over her body! It was like she was a passenger.

What was going on?

Kizashi-Nii or whatever, what does it even mean, gave her a huge grin saying: “Just returned a few minutes ago. I had to check up on my favourite sister, Kohana!”

Kohana?

The name…

Something in her reacted to it.

Like an avalanche memories swept over her. 

Years and years worth of it.

It was so much that she hissed at the pain in her brain, holding her head between her hands.

“Kohana? What’s wrong?!”, shouted Kizashi…her older brother. Yes, he was her older brother, she remembered now. 

He kneeled in front of her, petting her knee in worry.

“A bit of a headache.”, she could now speak freely. 

What a strange awakening this was. 

How could she forget Kizashi and herself?

Maybe she had a fever running? You could be confused when you have one.

Yeah, Kohana decided that it was probably it, ignoring the strange feeling of calling herself Kohana.

Something told her…that this was not her normal name? 

Does it make sense? 

Absolut not. 

Will she think more about it? 

No.

It turned out she didn’t have a fever so their parents made her go to the Ninja Academy, and Kizashi accompanied her. He wanted to spend some time with her after being away for so long.

Kohana felt all fuzzy inside, having such a loving brother, till she remembered what a stupid teasing baka he could be.

Then she hissed at him to go to bed, she could walk alone to the Academy. She didn't need his teasing right now.

Alas, Kizashi didn’t listen.

He even insisted on holding her hand while they walked to the Academy.

Was she a baby?

No, she was a grown-ass woman…no… wait, she was nine.

Why did she think she was a grown woman? 

The strange happenings didn’t stop at thoughts for Kohana.

For a few minutes, she couldn’t recognise her parents or the home they lived in, till again her brain was filled with memories.

Now walking with a bubbly Kizashi by her side through Konohagakure, the ninja village hidden in the leaves, Kohana recognised the place…yet somethings were off.

She felt it in her gunt that the Konohagakure she remembered had more stone faces on the Hokage Mountain.

It was also a lot bigger.

And the childish laugh of a blond-haired boy with whiskers marks on his cheeks was missing.

Kohana shook her head, which made her ponytail swish around her back. Other than Kizashi, she had the green hair of their father, while he had got the pink hair from their mother.

She envies Kizashi for his hair colour. Pink was pretty and better than plain green.

Also, her brother didn’t need stupid glasses to look.

But on the other hand…the glasses comforted her.

Like it was something familiar, something she knew….from before?

She frowned.

What was that before?

“Can you believe, you will soon take your Genin Exam!”, told her Kizashi eagerly, squeezing her hand. “Damn, I remember mine. I was so nervous and hoped I would be with Mebuki in a team. Now my little Imoto will follow her Nii-Chan.”

Mebuki?

Who was that again?

In her mind, she saw an adult blond-haired woman wearing a white dress with three red circles, till the image switched to a blond-haired woman with long hair, wearing a Chuunin vest, under it the standard shirt of the Konoha shinobis, a white battle skirt with black shorts under and black ninja boots.

Okay, that was weird.

Just ignoring it.

“We were and are at war Kizashi-Nii.”, she reminded her brother. “Yet you only thought about being with your crush on the same team?”

“Hey, you are still little you wouldn’t understand. Even if we are at war, love is still important!”

“A girl is more important than winning this damned war?!”

“It’s true love! What would you understand, the boys are scared of you, which of course I’m glad about. No boy should get their grappy hands on you!”

For that, she rammed her elbow in his stomach which made him grumble a bit, but her brother was a seasons shinobi, and her little hit was nothing against the punches he had taken from enemy shinobi.

“You are not my boss.”, she grumbled at him. “Also I don’t care for boys right now!”

“Aww, you make your Nii-Chan so happy, Imoto!”

He had the call to lean down and rub their cheeks together. the younger girl's left eye twitched.

Kohana decided that her older brother was not only a baka, but also a fanboy.

He was 19 didn’t he know any shame?

Strangely a pink-haired girl in a red battle dress and a blond girl in purple came to her mind.

Huh?

Why did the pink-haired girl look like she could be the love child of her idiot brother and Mebuki?

The green-haired girl was sick of this…flashbacks or whatever she was having.

It would be a long day, she felt it in her bones.

Hello, welcome to my absolute and gross self-insert fantasy adventure in the Naruto World sprinkled with some Assasin’s Creed Elements! 😀

Always wanted to write a self-insert and live out my dream of being a ninja/assasin and smooching a certain Uchiha XD

I hope you will like the twists and turns I have planned and give it at least a chance.

It’s still crack, even if treated seriously.

Nothing is True

… Everything is permitted.

What is real?

What is not?

Is she just turning crazy or are other powers at work?

One thing is clear Kohana will get to the bottom of this and maybe change the whole Ninja-World at the same time.

S.I. Third Shinobi World War 

Chapter 5: Bonds

!!!!PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!

Kohana spent the next few weeks training rigorously, honing her skills and pushing herself to the limit. She practised her Chakra control, improved her physical strength and speed, and worked on perfecting her jutsu techniques. With each passing day, she could feel herself growing stronger and more confident in her abilities.

She tested out her Eagle Vision, to understand it better and was surprised. It seemed to show the Aura of persons, animals and things. Already she learned that blue meant allies, gold was important or a target and white was mostly neutral.

Also, she spent as much time with Obito and Rin as she could. If they would go training together, eat something or just enjoy a fun afternoon at the movie theatre, the bond between the three depended, which pleased the green-haired girl greatly. For that, she took Rin’s blatant and nearly shameless matchmaking between her and Obito.

Kohana loved Rin, she really did, but she wanted to strangle her sometimes.

Obito didn’t even seem to SEE Kohana as a girl. For him only Rin matters.

Perhaps she had screamed into her pillow a few times for it. She had read in Sakuya's diary that the Uchiha-Clan was famous for loving long and passionately, which meant she probably would never have a chance with the Uchiha.

Sign.

Anyway, their Genin Exam was up in a few days, so the trio decided to get some more training in.

They would first study for the writing exam in the library and then train their jutsu in a free training field.

As Kohana entered the library and only saw Obito reading with a frown over the books, she got a bad feeling.

Rin had made strange comments throughout the whole day.

Like that, her mother had said she needed her to help with their shop. Rin didn’t know how long that would take. They should get started without her.

The brunette wouldn’t, wouldn’t she?

She wouldn’t leave Kohana alone with her crush.

Then Kohana thought it over and groaned.

Of course, Rin would do that!

Her best friend, and after weeks of bonding she could say that without a doubt, was, even more, invested in her love life with Obito, than her own.

Urgh.

What should Kohana do?

They were scheduled to learn together, she couldn’t leave Obito.

Kohana took a deep breath and decided to focus on the task at hand. She approached Obito and sat down next to him, opening her own book. They studied in silence for a while until Kohana couldn't take it anymore.

"Is something bothering you, Obito?" she asked softly.

He looked up from his book and sighed heavily. "It's just that I'm having trouble understanding this concept," he admitted, pointing to a paragraph in the book.

The glass-wearing girl smiled reassuringly and began explaining the concept to him in simpler terms.

As they continued studying together, she couldn't help but feel a tiny bit grateful for Rin's matchmaking attempts. Without them, she never would have gotten so close to Obito and been able to help him like this.

After finishing their study session, they headed out to the training field where Rin was waiting for them with a mischievous grin on her face.

"What's going on?" Kohana asked warily as Rin handed each of them a blindfold.

"We're going to practice our sensory skills," Rin explained excitedly. "One person will be blindfolded and the other two will try to sneak up on them without making any noise."

Kohana nodded eagerly and put on her blindfold as Obito and Rin took turns sneaking up on her.

As they continued training, Kohana couldn't help but feel grateful for both Rin's matchmaking attempts and their upcoming Genin Exam. It had given her something positive to focus on instead of worrying about whether or not she could stop the end of the world.

Okay, it was a bit dramatic, but the future wasn’t as bright as it should have been.

Nonetheless, Kohana was sure that she was doing anything in her power to avoid a terrible future.

Keep Rin alive.

Don’t let Madara Uchiha get Obito in his hands.

Get rid of the old Uchiha.

Kill Black Zetsu and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Space, yeah she finally learned the name of the creepy thing, thanks to a vision.

Also, Danzo had to go too, because he was way too fishy.

The kunoichi to be had her hands full for the next years that one was clear.

***

Proudly Kohana caressed her forehead protector, which she wore as a bracelet on her left arm.

A week ago was the Genin Exam and she had passed with flying colors.

Mai-Sensei even congratulated her on being kunoichi of the year. This had pleased her greatly. It showed that her hard work had paid off.

Now she was sitting in her classroom, for the last time, between Rin and Obito.

Rin gripped her hand and squeezed.

“We really did it!”, whispered the brunette excited.

“Of course we did it, Rin-Chan!”, told Obito proudly, fiddling with his forehead protector he wore in the intended way. “We three are the best!”

This made both girls giggle.

“You mean, because Hatake-San already is a Genin, so he can’t be Rookie of the Year again, didn’t you pass by sheer dumb luck, since you got the clone jutsu down, the day before our exam.”, reminded him Kohana playful.

She may be crushing on the Uchiha, but he was first and foremost her friend, and what kind of friends didn’t tease each other in good humour?

“Kohana-Chan don’t remind me!”, whined the Uchiha, which made Rin giggle harder. “Ah, Rin-Chan come on!”

More complaining the boy couldn’t do, because Mai-Sensei finally entered the classroom. All brand new Genin fall into silence.

The woman smiled at them all, congratulating them on becoming Genin. She explained how now they would go out on a mission for the village and help in the war.

This sober all up.

The Third Shinobi World War was still going on and seemed not to end. That’s why their class was promoted to Genin at nine years. Konoha and her allies needed Shinobi forces.

“As you know, normal a team is made up of one Jonin and three Genin.”, began Mai-Sensei in her explanation. “However due to a few drop-outs these years, we are now an uneven number. So one team will be a Jonin with four Genin’s.”

The classroom erupted into whispers and excited chatter at the news. Kohana's heart raced with anticipation. She exchanged nervous glances with Rin and Obito. They had become such a close-knit group over the past few weeks, that she couldn't bear the thought of being separated from them. Also, it was better for the future if she stayed with them.

Hopefully, the three were a team.

Mai-Sensei began to read aloud the first teams. Automatically Kohana gripped Rin and Obito's hand. Both her friends squeezed back.

All three of them wished to stay together but were scared they wouldn’t.

“Now Team 7 under Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi, Nohara Rin.”, read aloud Mai-Sensei. Sweat broke out all over Kohana's body. One of her friends was already away in another team. She was happy Rin could be with her crush Kakashi, but how should she protect her friend now? “Uchiha Obito and Haruno Kohana. You will be our five-member squad.”

....Did she hear right?!

Obito let out a happy yelp and hugged herself and Rin to him.

“At least we are together!”, he celebrated. “Even with stupid Bakashi!”

That earned him laugh around the classroom and even more as Kakashi deadpanned at him and said: “I rather have Haruno, the kunoichi of the year and Nohara, the second best in my team than be with you, deadlast!”

Immediate Obito stopped his hug and waved a fist in Kakashi's direction.

“What was that asshole?! Who is here the death last, you stupid protege! Only because you became a Genin at six, doesn’t mean you are better than us!”

Kohana and Rin couldn't help but laugh at the banter between Obito and Kakashi.

It seemed like things were going to be okay after all.

As Mai-Sensei continued to assign teams, Kohana felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was grateful that she would still be with Rin and Obito, even if they were now part of a larger team.

With Kakashi.

The protege.

Come to think of it, was not Namikaze Minato his mentor?

So they just joined them, huh?

Well, whatever, at least she would have Rin and Obito by her side.

***

After lunch break the Jonin Senseis came to pick up their Genin.

Both girls blushed as they saw their Sensei.

Namikaze Minato was a young beautiful man, probably Kizashi age, with golden spiky hair and blue eyes like the sky.

With a gentle voice, he greeted them, made them feel welcome and led the four Genin to a free training field.

There the kids sat down on the ground, while Minato sat on a stump.

“As you probably know, I’m Kakashi-Kun's mentor, so I know him quite well, but I would like we all introduced each other to each other.”, he said with a smile.

You could clearly see, how Kakashi didn’t want to.

“Is this really necessary Sensei? The three are friends and I know them, no need for that.”

“That may be true, but I don’t know the other kids.”, Minato reminded gently. “I will even start. My name is Namikaze Minato, proud Jonin of Konohagakure. I like creating new jutsu and the food my girlfriend cooks and dislike blind hatred. My hobbies are reading and training. My dream for the future is to help you all become great ninjas and one day be Hokage and serve our village.”

The blond-haired young man couldn’t help but chuckle a little at the little awed faces of his three new cares.

“How about you now?”, he pointed at Obito.

“I’m Uchiha Obito! I like dango and spending time with my friends, mostly Rin-Chan and Kohana-Chan. I dislike arrogant assholes and people who left behind their friends. My dream for the future is also to become Hokage! I wanna make the world better for all of us and end all wars.”

Minato smiled at him. “Then we have something in common, how about the brunette lady, now?”

“Hello, I’m Nohara Rin.”, began the girl. “I love anything with strawberries, cake, sweets you name it. I like training and having sleepovers with Kohana-Chan. I hate to mean people and suffering. I would like to become a medical ninja, as great as Senju Tsunade and help where I can.”

“An admirable dream. Now how about you with the cool glasses.”

This made Kohana giggle, no one ever said her glasses were cool and said: “My name is Haruno Kohana. Maybe you know my older brother Kizashi? Anyway I like my best friends Rin-Chan and Obito-Kun and would kill for the Tonkotsu Ramen of Ichiraku and my Kaa-Chan Okonomiyaki. I also like learning new things and history. I dislike ignorance. For my dream of the future...I just want to be the best kunoichi I can be and help create a better world.”

This earned her a nod from her Sensei, till he turned to Kakashi.

Both mentor and protege stared at each other, till Kakashi spoke. “I’m Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…hobbies are a waste of time you could use to train.”

The three other Genin sweat dropped at this.

“He only told us his name.”, hissed Obito to his two female friends.

The girls nodded, still in disbelief.

Minato just rubbed his forehead. He should have known that Kakashi would pull something like that. His protege hadn’t been happy that he suddenly had to work with a team.

“I can see in all of you a great potential.”, told them Minato. “So we will do a training exercise to see how good you all really are.”

Under the curious eyes of his Genin Minato showed them four bells.

“Now, your object is to get these bells from me. Come with me with anything you got or you won’t get a bell. Understood? If you aren’t ready to use all means, you can go straight back to the academy.”

This shocked all four, even if Kakashi hid it the best.

“Now on my go, get ready. Alright?”

The four Genin stood up and nodded as one.

“Ready! Go!”

With that, all jumped into a safe location to assert the assignment.

Kakashi was already in the trees, observing his new team.

Let’s see if you can keep up with me..., he thought.

Kohana could feel her heart racing with excitement and anticipation. She had heard stories about Kakashi's legendary skills and was eager to see them in action. Rin looked just as excited, while Obito seemed a bit nervous.

As they began their attack, Minato proved to be a formidable opponent. He moved quickly and effortlessly, dodging all of their attacks with ease. Kohana tried using her Chakra control to create illusions, but Minato saw through them immediately. Rin attempted to sneak up on him from behind, but he sensed her presence and knocked her away with a swift kick.

Obito tried using his fire jutsu, but Minato countered it easily with his own wind jutsu. Kakashi remained hidden in the trees, watching silently as the battle raged on.

Despite their best efforts, none of them were able to get even close to the bells.

As Kohana, Obito and Rin sat on the ground to catch their breath, was when Kakashi made his move.

The Hatake attacked their Sensei with such force and precision that it was impressive.

Even more impressive he got all bells!

“Oh come on!”, whined Obito and let himself fall on the ground fully.

Rin was blushing and admiring her crush, while Kohana realized that she was far from being a protege like Kakashi.

This meant she had to train even harder.

Oh, kami!

Kakashi stood in front of them, holding the bells triumphantly. “See Minato-Sensei I don’t need a team. We two work fine together.”

Kohana couldn't help but feel disappointed in herself. She had hoped to at least get close to one of the bells. But she knew that this was just the beginning of their training together and she had plenty of time to improve her skills.

Minato walked over.

“Kakashi we talked about this, let’s not have this discussion again.”, reminds the blond-haired man, then he turns to the other three with a smile.

"You all did well," he said encouragingly. "Remember, teamwork is key in any mission. And don't worry about not getting the bells today, it was just a test to assess your strengths and weaknesses."

Rin nodded eagerly while Obito grumbled under his breath about wanting another chance to get those bells. Kohana smiled at her Sensei's words and made a mental note to work even harder in their training sessions.

“Tomorrow we will have our first mission as Team 7, so off you go kids. Have a healthy dinner and then early to bed early. We will meet each other here at 7 p. m., sounds good?”

“Yes, Minato-Sensei.”, the kids chorused together.

Thus ended the first day as a Ninja for Konoha, she hoped she was ready for the real-life ninja work starting tomorrow.

!!!!PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!

Chapter 2: Training

On a night shooting stars cross over Konohagakure the life of 12-year-old Hinata changes forever. A white wolf named Shiranui searched for her to end the reign of the “Planet Eaters” as she calls the enemy. The young Hyuuga awakens power beyond her imagination. But will it be enough to end the millennia-old conflict?

OP!Hinata

Goddess!Hinata   

Chapter 2: Training

“Why did you lead me here, Shiranui-San?”, asked Hinata curious.

The school day was over and her wolf companion had told Hinata they had plans.

What plans she wouldn’t tell, till Hinata walked them to one of the abandoned training areas of the village.

The place was overgrown with plant life. 

It was clear that no one had used it in years.

The brooch shimmered and turned into Shiranui's floating anthropomorphic wolf form.

“Is it safe to show you like that Shiranui-San?”, wondered the Hyuuga Heiress, carefully looking around.

It wouldn’t surely be good if someone saw Shiranui. She was too alien, too strange. 

The people in Konnoha would not accept her.

“Don’t worry Hinata-Chan.”, reassured Shiranui. She made a fast sequence of hand signs and a dome of Chakra built around the training ground. “This place is one abandoned and thanks to my Jutsu we are safe from prying eyes.”

 “Oh alright.”

“And what we are doing here well…”, the Hoshi-Kami made a dramatic pause for effect before she told Hinata: “It’s time to start your training! What you learn at the Academy and at home is quite frack not enough. Maybe for a normal person, it is enough, but you aren’t. We need you to get in top shape to handle your godly powers.”

Dejected Hinata looked at the ground.

Even after a whole week with her, Shiranui was still so sure she was the Messiah.

Did she not see how weak in the Juken she was? Had she not heard how her father had dismissed her as a failure.

Did she not comprehend that even if she was a Clan Child people like Sakura Haruno were better in Chakra control than her?

The blue-haired girl had been so sure that Shiranui would see that Hinata was to wrong choice, yet it didn’t happen.

“Now Hinata-Chan, what is it with this gloom?”, tutted the wolf, rubbing in comfort their cheeks together. “You don’t see or feel it, but your body is already changing. Your Chakra is. Why did you think your Chakra Control got so bad all of a sudden?”

“Because I’m a failure…”

A growl came out of Shiranui. “I will eat your father's heart for breakfast if he doesn’t start to treat you with respect!”

“N-No, please don’t.”

“You are way too kind Hinata-Chan. On one hand, it’s a wonderful trait on the other some people don't deserve it.”

The Hyuuga didn’t know how to answer that. But Shiranui didn’t need an answer, she just petted her cheek.

“Where was I…Ah yes, your Training. From this day forward I will train you to become the goddess, the savoir you are meant to be…So…to start I want you to run 50 leaps around the Training Ground!”

Hinata wasn’t a person to deny training, even if she didn’t believe she was a goddess, more training was always good.

So she started to run.

The training was brutal.

50 leaps around the training ground.

Then 50 leaps, while using the leaf chakra control exercise.

And then 50 leaps, leaf chakra exercise and Shiranui throwing Shurikens and Kunai at her.

If she lost the leaf, the round started anew.

After that Hinata lay like a starfish on the ground. Her lungs were on fire and she felt how close to Chakra's exhaustion she was.

But Shiranui was not done with her.

Oh no.

50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups and 50 squats.

Then again while doing all this she needed to keep the leaf on her head.

Sadly this was only the first day of her hellish Training. The Hoshi-Kami pushed for more any day.

For the first time in her life, Hinata wanted to die.

Death would be a mercy to this!

Everything hurt! Everything!

Three months went by and Hinata couldn't believe it but…she had gotten stronger, also she could control her Chakra again.

She was faster and swifter.

More flexible and resistant.

Her senses became sharper.

Shiranui had a smug look on her face as Hinata noted all the changes in herself.

Then came the day Shiranui tested her Chakra Nature.

Shocking would have been an understatement.

The paper split into five parts, one got wet, one caught fire, one turned to dust and crumbled up.

She had all five Chakra Nature.

“I told you.”, sing-songed Shiranui. “You are the one!”

Now besides the “normal” training, elemental manipulation was also practised.

For that, her wolf friend taught her the Kagebushin-No-Jutsu.

Without a problem, Hinata made on the first try 100.

“Look what power lies in you!”, told her Shiranui proud.

The Hyuga Heiress and her clones just looked dumbfounded at each other.

So now with Kagebushin on her side, Hinata could train even harder and faster, since what her clones learned, she learned to.

Another three months passed and it was now half a year ago that she met Shiranui.

When Hinata looked into the mirror, she didn’t see a meek girl, she saw a shinobi.

Things had changed also at home.

Thanks to Shiranui's training her Juken was so good, that she hadn’t a problem defeating Hanabi. 

Her father had been surprised. Even more, after she defeated him.

“You may have even surpassed Neji, daughter.”, said her father with a proud glint in his eyes. “You are truly the heiress of the Hyuuga Clan.”

In school, she was also the top kunoichi. No one stood a chance against her. Her Shurikenjutsu hit always bullseye and in the battles, she always won.

This should make her happy, but Hinata felt nothing. 

She still didn't believe she was the Messiah, yet couldn’t deny her extreme progress.

She was something different.

Whether it was good or not would show the future.

The next six months Shiranui made her training even harder.

It was unbelievable that it could get harder, yet her Hoshi-Kami friend managed again that Hinata wanted to die.

Any day she was brought to her limits, only to surpass them.

It seemed Hinata didn’t have a limit, she only grew stronger and stronger.

And then a whole year had passed.

It was time to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

Now it would show if this hellish year would pay off in the real world.

Goddess of the Sun, Queen of the Stars

On a night shooting stars cross over Konohagakure the life of 12-year-old Hinata changes forever. A white wolf named Shiranui searched for her to end the reign of the “Planet Eaters” as she calls the enemy. The young Hyuuga awakens power beyond her imagination. But will it be enough to end the millennia-old conflict?

OP!Hinata

Goddess!Hinata   

Hinata has always been my favourite character. I see a lot of myself in her. Maybe that’s why I love and admire her so much. There are a lot of OP Naruto stories out there, it’s time for the Hyuuga Princess to kick ass and take names.

Enjoy!

Prologue: Falling Stars

The night Hinata Hyuuga's life would change forever started with a beautiful meteor shower. 

One Konohgakure hadn’t seen in a good 100 years.

Enchanted Hinata watched from her window seat the shooting stars racing against each other in the night sky with a brilliant full moon taken vigil over them.

It was so calm and serene. For a moment all life problems seemed to vanish.

Her role as heir is being treated.

Her father's aloofness towards her.

The elders of the clan with their hurtful words.

Neji-Niisan hate filled gaze.

And Hanabi’s looks of pity.

No.

For a moment she could all forget this as she watched this miracle of nature.

Are you watching the stars too, Naruto-Kun?, she thought with a sign. Are you amazed by them too…or are you feeling alone?

It wasn’t the first time nor would it be the last time Hinata cursed herself for her shyness. 

She was 12 years old, the graduation from the Academy was a year away and she still couldn’t manage to utter a single word to the boy who had saved her.

The boy that brightened her day only with his smile.

The boy who had her heart, even if he didn’t know.

Some Ninja to be she was.

Another sign escaped her lips and she turned her attention back to the shooting stars.

Her late mother, Kami bless her soul, told her if she wished upon a shooting star, the wish would come true.

Father would chest her for believing in such fairytales, but anything that came from her mother was precious to Hinata.

She missed her any day with a burning passion.

So she closed her eyes, like her mother told her, and thought about a wish.

What was a good wish?

Of course, it would be nice if Naruto-Kun would fall for me…but I want his love because he likes me and not because of a wish…maybe…just…I just want to find my place in the world. I want to feel I’m useful and belong somewhere.

Yes, this was a nice wish.

Hinata put her hands in a prayer position, still, eyes closed and sent her wish to the shooting stars.

She imaged how her wish reached one star. The star twinkled, taking her wish and carrying it away to be fulfilled.

It was a comforting thought.

Slowly she opened her eyes.

Only to have them wide comical as she saw what was happening.

I’m imagining things or is a star falling down in my direction?!

The young girl couldn’t even scream as the twinkling orb smashed through her window and then knocked her over. With a hard thud, she landed on her bedroom floor and was knocked out cold.

She didn’t see how the orb was sitting on her stomach changing forms.

It stretched and expanded, till it took the form of a little anthropomorphic wolf.

Its fur was white like snow and its eyes the colour of gold. A little red bandana with a yellow star it wore on its neck, and also some gold, orange, and red bracelets.

The wolf blinked a few times, then floated over to Hinata's head. It was a bit taller than her head.

“Ups didn’t mean to knock ya out!”, it said in a feminine voice and winced as she saw how more glass of the broken window fell down. “And didn’t mean to break your window, hehe.”

Of course no anwer came from Hinata.

“Meh, better fix the window and look for any curious human who might want to check out what happened here.”

But first, she put the human girl on her bed with a wet rug over the bump Hinata was forming.

Yeah, Shiranui, the name of the little wolf, had imaged meeting HER also in a different way.

Well, beggars can be choosers.

Shiranui is inspired by Shiranui from the amazing game Okami. :D Play it, it’s amazing <3

Anomaly

Anomaly; noun: something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.

While her older brother Zack rises in the ranks of SOLDIER, Dalia Fair is one of the biggest Idol’s Midgar has ever seen! All seems well for the siblings, till the Whispers appear and try to kill Dalia. Now brother and sister must unrevail ShinRa’s dark secrets and why Dalia is an anomaly in the eyes of the spectral beings.

Or:

Zack has a younger sister whom the Whispers want to get rid of because they must protect the sacred canon.

Spoiler Alert: Dalia won't let herself get killed or erased by the spooky grim reapers wannabe!

Also, canon who, it's her show now!

Chapter One: Idol-Sama

Zack knew what he was doing was wrong.

Departing without notifying his parents, solely to pursue his aspirations of becoming a hero, was unwise.

However, he couldn't remain in Gongaga; only by joining ShinRa Corp's SOLDIER program in Midgard would he realize his dream.

 The raven-haired youth sighed deeply and placed a hand over his mouth as he attempted to slip out undetected.

The prospect of being caught by either parent or worse yet, HIS sister - who despite being two years younger possessed an impressive swing - loomed ominously.

He had dedicated himself to teaching her how to fight so that she wouldn't be relegated to the role of damsel-in-distress; contrary to popular belief, Zack knew that she wasn't fragile like a flower – far from it!

 When Dalia was born, she fell gravely ill. The esteemed physician, Old Doc Brown, even feared for her survival. However, he sensed within his sister a tenacious spirit and remained by her side for three days straight, holding her tiny hand and urging her to fight on. Despite the despair in their parents' eyes, Zack refused to give up hope on Dalia's recovery. His unwavering faith was vindicated as she gradually regained strength.

Zack beamed with pride at his little sister's resilience - an indomitable force of nature despite their parents' overprotectiveness.

 Therefore, it came as no surprise when he found her waiting for him in front of their home - blue eyes fixed squarely upon him and hands firmly planted on hips - sporting a fierce scowl that only added to her already formidable presence.

 "And where do you think are going?", she inquired.

 Until his death, he vehemently denied his whining.

 "Dali, Lia, my precious songbird-"

 "Flattery will not get you anywhere, Zack-Nii!"

 "Imoto, please understand. I must go! I cannot become a hero here!"

 Dalia scrunched up her adorable nose and let out a huff of frustration.

 "You do not seem like much of a hero to me if you run away from home in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye or letter left for me!"

 Now he truly whined; the sight of disappointment on his sister's face was unbearable.

 "I’m sorry, Imoto-Chan," Zack began.

 "Just stop right there, Zachery," his sister interrupted sharply.

 Oh no, he realized with a sinking feeling as she used his full name - this was serious. It seemed that things were not looking good for Zack.

 As Dalia made her proclamation, "You have two options before I start screaming for Ma and Pa! Option one: turn around and get inside; never try to leave me again. Option two: leave a goodbye letter and we will go."

 The older boy couldn't believe what he was hearing.

 "We?!" He almost shouted but caught himself in time; there was no need to wake up the whole neighbourhood or alert their parents.

 His little sister nodded vigorously, causing her spiky locks to bounce - another shared trait between them - while pointing at a bag by her feet. "If you go, I go! We are a team Nii-Chan! I won't be separated from you. You are the only person who treats me like an equal rather than some sick child."

 "You're not sick; you're strong and clever- how did you manage to escape before me?" Zack complimented her with a grin.

Dalia grinned back mischievously.  "I had an excellent teacher who sometimes makes questionable decisions."

 Zack knew he deserved that jab at his character- it wasn't easy being the older sibling responsible for taking care of someone younger than him all the time after all...

 "Shall we proceed now?" inquired the little girl, extending her hand to him.

"And what about the letter for Ma and Pa?" he wondered aloud.

The mischievous grin on her face returned as she replied, "I have already left one."

He snorted in amusement at his own naivety and took her hand as they embarked on their journey together.

"So I intend to join ShinRa and become a SOLDIER. What are your plans for Midgar, Dali?"

She squeezed his hand tightly before whispering conspiratorially, "I aim to become the biggest Idol that Midgar has ever seen!"

"Idol-Sama, Idol-Sama! Rosethorne? For goodness sake, Dalia, wake up!"

With a hefty yawn, Dalia Fair arises from the couch in her backstage room and stretches herself. She had dozed off - how peculiar that she dreamt about the time she ran away with Zack. 

"Rosethorne!", the voice called out her stage name.

Dalia rubbed her drowsy eyes.

It seemed to be Amelia, her manager's voice.

Oh yes, it was Amelia!

"Hey Amelia, what is happening?" 

The brown-haired woman facepalmed at Dalia while grumbling something about why she was stuck with such an unruly child - hey!

"You have a photo shoot in 30 minutes, Dalia. Get ready quickly," Amelia said with a stern expression.

Dalia groaned and checked her PHS for any messages or notifications.

Thus far, solely her cherished sibling had sent her a message.

A meme featuring a chocobo that elicited an amused snort from her.

Zack unfailingly knew how to lift her spirits.

The idol resolved to dispatch a brief message to her brother.

Songbird: Hey Nii-Chan, isn't Mister Angeal giving you a run for your money? You'll never advance beyond Second-Class SOLDIER if you're preoccupied with memes!

The response arrived promptly.

Puppydog: I'm on break! Kunsel says hi. Don't you have something to do, Imoto-Chan?

Blast it all!

Dalia hastily freshened up and donned the attire hanging on the door before adorning herself with makeup and affixing her crimson wig.

She couldn't help but ponder what mischief Zack was getting into at ShinRa today; it was nothing short of miraculous that he'd achieved even Third-Class SOLDIER status thanks to his mentor Angeal Hewley despite having caused significant damage during his acclimation period.

"Dalia, we must go now!" Amelia hollered from outside the door, rudely interrupting Dalia's thoughts.

With that said, Dalia retrieved her purse and accompanied Amelia out of the room in readiness for another day masquerading as Rosethorne - an idol worshipped by legions yet known by few except for Zack himself.

It suited Dalia just fine since she could lead a normal life as a sister to a SOLDIER without having crazed devotees swarming about while also experiencing life as an idol with fame and love from her fans.

As they stepped out of the building, Dalia couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. 

Another successful photoshoot was completed without any hiccups.

She glanced at Amelia who was checking her PHS, probably making sure everything was in order for their next appointment.

Dalia's mind drifted back to Zack and she wondered what he was up to now. She quickly pulled out her PHS and sent him a message.

Songbird: Hey Nii-Chan, how's your day going so far? Any interesting missions?

She waited for a response but none came. She shrugged it off and slipped her phone back into her purse. He would message her when he had time or he would tell her when they were both home.

As they made their way to the car, Dalia thought about how lucky she was to have a sibling like Zack. Despite his antics and carefree attitude, he always managed to make her laugh and forget about any troubles she had.

The car ride was quiet as both Dalia and Amelia were lost in their own thoughts. Dalia couldn't wait to get home and take off the wig that was starting to itch her scalp.

As they arrived at their destination, Dalia took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. Another day as Rosethorne awaited her, but for now, she just wanted to relax and be herself with Zack by her side.

Amelia playfully inquired of Dalia if she was prepared to showcase her latest single.

Dalia responded with a smile, affirming that she had been eagerly awaiting this moment.

She went on to explain that the song held a special place in her heart and she couldn't wait to share it with everyone.

Observing Dalia's excitement, Amelia nodded in agreement - clearly just as thrilled for the performance.

As the lights dimmed and the crowd cheered, Dalia transformed into Rosethorne - embodying her Idol-Persona.

The red-haired vixen donned a short black sparkle dress adorned with a single red rose, knee-high white socks and black high heels featuring small roses.

Gloved hands grasped the microphone before taking a deep breath and beginning to sing.

The melody flowed effortlessly from her lips as she poured her heart into each word; it became increasingly evident that this was more than just a performance - it was an emotional journey that resonated with every member of the audience.

By the time Rosethorne finished singing, every member of the audience was standing on their feet applauding wildly.

It was clear that Rosethorne's music had touched them deeply leaving them inspired and uplifted.

As Rosethorne stood there beaming from ear to ear, she felt grateful for sharing her music with such enthusiastic fans.

In response to the enthusiastic demands of the audience for more music, Rosethorne graciously delivered some of her classic Number One hits.

The crowd was elated and joined in with her, their voices melding together in a beautiful harmony. The atmosphere was electric as the entire room filled with joy and the sound of music. Rosethorne's energy and passion were absolutely infectious, leaving all members of the audience craving more of her amazing tracks.

As she wrapped up her final song, there was a collective sigh from everyone present that it had come to an end.

However, Rosethorne had made an unforgettable impression on each person who was lucky enough to witness her performance that night.

 Expressing her gratitude, Rosethorne exclaimed into the microphone and humbly bowed down. Applause reverberated throughout the room accompanied by joyous cheers and exclamations of adoration.

Smiling radiantly, she blew kisses to her devoted fans before announcing a special opportunity for one lucky audience member to meet with her for five minutes.

With bated breath, the crowd anticipated as she paused momentarily before calling out in suspenseful triumph: “The spotlight is on seat number 77!”

The occupant occupying seat 77 exhibited extreme shock, as evidenced by their reaction.

Rosethrone observed that the youthful gentleman with spiky blond locks and piercing azure eyes turned pallid like a sheet of paper.

Despite his condition, she couldn't help but notice how strikingly handsome he appeared; if she had to guess, he was her agemate.

So 14?

It seemed apparent that he wished to be anywhere else but here.

This piqued Rosethrone's interest; such a response was novel to her experience as normally her admirers would jump for joy or even faint (one time someone foamed out of their mouth), however, this particular reaction was quite intriguing indeed.

 She walked towards him, her heels clicking against the polished floor.

As she approached, he looked up at her with a mixture of fear and awe in his eyes.

Rosethrone smiled warmly at him, trying to put him at ease.

"Don't worry," she said softly. "I won't bite."

The audience chuckled at her joke, but the young man didn't seem to find it funny.

"Come on," she said, holding out her hand. "Let's go backstage and chat for a bit."

He hesitated for a moment before taking her hand and standing up from his seat.

Together, they walked towards the back of the room as the crowd cheered them on.

 Once they were alone in the green room, Rosethrone offered him a bottle of water and sat down next to him on the couch.

"So," she began, "what's your name?"

He told her his name was Cloud.

Cloud Strife.

Who named their son Cloud, she wanted to ask, but had a feeling he was asked that a lot and it would annoy him.

All in all, he really seemed to not want to be here.

 Rosethrone cleared her throat, attempting to alleviate the tension in the air. "So, Cloud," she inquired, "what brings you here today?"

 Cloud shifted uncomfortably on the couch before responding. "I... I obtained tickets from one of my comrades...he couldn't attend and no one else had time or said their girlfriend wouldn't allow them to go to the concert of the Beautiful Rose of Midgar, their words not mine," he whispered softly.

 "Comrades, are you affiliated with ShinRa?", she asked with interest.

 "Yes Ma'am erm Idol-Sama?"

 "We are the same age; Rosethrone is fine."

 "Erm, right, okay. Yes I'm a part of ShinRa. I aspire to become a SOLDIER!"

 Wow! What an unexpected surprise it was that a SOLDIER candidate would be her guest.

Did he know Zack?

Unfortunately, she could not ask him since no one could know who Rosethorne truly was.

 Rosethrone listened attentively as Cloud shared his aspirations for becoming a SOLDIER and described his training process. Despite his initial reluctance to be there, she sensed determination in his voice. As they conversed further, she became increasingly impressed by this young man's character.

 Then Cloud realized how much he had been talking about himself and turned adorably red-faced. "I apologize for prattling on about my SOLDIER training without letting you speak at all," he whined slightly.

The young Idol waved it away."No problem at all! You didn't want to waste the ticket and just went ahead with attending anyway", she said."Well, I hope you're satisfied with your prize."

Cloud shook his head vigorously."No, no! It's just...it's all so overwhelming," he admitted."I'm not good with people."

Rosethrone smiled kindly at him."I understand exactly how you feel", she told him."Sometimes, it can be tough believing that all of this is real."

Cloud looked incredulous when hearing this statement. He asked hesitatingly, "You feel like that too?"

Rosethrone nodded affirmatively once more."Of course!" she exclaimed; "Don't get me wrong- I adore what I do, and am grateful for each fan, but sometimes, it can simply be too much."

They both sat silently for some time until Rosethorne spoke again: "Do you have any questions for me?"

The young men hesitated momentarily before nodding slowly ."Um, yes actually...How did music come into your life?”

 Rosenthorn grinned broadly as she began recounting her origin story.

She explained how singing and performing were always passions but never thought it possible career-wise until Amelia, her manager heard her singing on the streets, was charmed by her voice, and took her under contract immediately after discovering her talent.

 After a while, Rosethrone realized that their five minutes were up. She stood up from the couch and offered her hand to Cloud, who took it hesitantly. "It was really nice meeting you, Cloud," she said with a smile. "I hope you achieve your dreams."

 Cloud nodded gratefully before turning to leave.

As he walked away, Rosethrone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.

She had met many fans over the years, but there was something special about this one.

Perhaps it was his determination or the fact that he didn't fawn over her like so many others did.

 Whatever it was, Rosethrone knew that she would never forget meeting Cloud Strife.

And who knows? Maybe one day she would see him again - perhaps even in the newspaper as a full-fledged member of SOLDIER.

Finally, Dalia was home!

With a groan she took off her shoes and jacket, walking into the living room like a zombie.

Zack was already there, playing on his Gamestation.

“Hey Imoto-Chan, rough day?”, he asked grinning.

She just hit him over the head with a pillow from the couch.

“Hey, for what was that for?!”

“Zachery, I had a photo shoot, a concert, then two interviews, one for the television and one for the newspaper, while wearing high heels, I’m this close to murdering someone.”

Wisely her brother shut up and just kept on playing.

“What’s for dinner?”, she wondered, as she made her way into their kitchen, specifically looking for food.

There was a pizza carton.

“Again, pizza, Zack? I wanted Sushi.”

“How can you like the uncooked fish is beyond me.”

“How you can be a fit SOLDIER Third with the much pizza you eat is beyond ME!”

 Groaning, Dalia opened the pizza carton and started eating, not bothering to heat it up.

Zack shrugged, "I didn't feel like cooking tonight."

"Well, I'm too tired to argue," Dalia said between bites.

As she ate, she thought about her upcoming schedule and sighed.

"I have another concert tomorrow night and a photo shoot early in the morning," she said to Zack who was still playing his game.

"Sounds like another busy day," he replied without looking away from the screen.

Dalia finished her pizza and went to take a shower, hoping it would help her relax after the long day she had just had.

After her shower, Dalia sat down at her desk to go over her schedule for the next few days.

She had a rehearsal with her band in the afternoon, followed by an interview with a music magazine.

Then, she had to attend a charity event in the evening.

The following day was even busier, with a radio interview early in the morning and a music video shoot later in the day.

 Dalia felt overwhelmed just thinking about it all.

She knew she needed to stay focused and organized if she wanted to succeed in the music industry, but sometimes it felt like too much. She took a deep breath and reminded herself why she loved what she did - the rush of performing live, the connection with her fans, and the thrill of creating something new.

 With renewed determination, Dalia got to work on preparing for her busy schedule ahead.

She made lists of everything she needed to do and packed her bags for each event.

As she drifted off to sleep that night, she felt ready to take on whatever challenges came her way - one concert, photo shoot, or interview at a time.

The young woman didn’t expect to face some kind of freakish grim reaper wannabe that night!
