Cinderella; Once In A Plot Twist

🍰 Chapter 1 🍰

• NOT YOUR USUAL CINDERELLA STORY •

Everybody knows the Cinderella story. A beautiful girl gets mistreated by her step mother and siblings, goes to a ball with the help of a fairy godmother, falls in love with the prince, loses her glass slipper, finds it, marries the prince and lives happily ever after. Yeah that story.

You know it? Good. Now trash that story somewhere at the back of your mind where your memory can't reach. This is going to be another Cinderella story.

Of course there's the beautiful girl who gets mistreated by her step mother and sibling in this story! What kind of Cinderella story doesn't have that cliché damsel in distress?

Yes, I know I said my story's different and it is! So shush that tiny voice in your head up and just read as the story unfolds.

It all begins in a town called Konoha, when a noble man made the mistake of marrying a second wife. No. No. Nope. This isn't a royal 1600s au. Nain. This is a modern story, with iPhones and cinnamon buns and a better sense of fashion, thank you very much!

Hiashi Hyuga was easily one of the town's richest men. His company had many branches in all of the Five Elemental Nations and he was a member of the Hokage council. He was as influential as they got. Blessed with a beautiful wife and two ethereal daughters, Hiashi Hyuga could have asked for nothing more.

He was happy until his dear wife died. Then out of loneliness and his children's need for a mother he decided to remarry. Fortunately for him there was an available widow who went by the name Mebuki Haruno. She had a daughter too. They had like minds and instantly hit it off.

Now his daughters had a sister and a mother and he had a companion, what more could he need? Hiashi most certainly did not need death but look who decided to drop by and pay him a visit? Okay, ouch, that was a cruel joke.

Hiashi died and Mebuki's true colours as a gold digger was revealed. The blond woman instantly gave her younger step daughter, Hanabi Hyuga to the girl's uncle claiming that three girls were a bit too much for her as a two time widow to handle.

Why she let the first one stay with her, nobody knew. Perhaps it was to mock Hiashi. Perhaps it was to give her daughter a disposable maid. Perhaps it was media service to hide the fact that she loathed the girl. Who knew?

So that was how Hinata Hyuga grew up in a lion's den. Her half sister, Sakura Haruno was definitely nicer to her than her stepmother but sometimes she made the fact that she was the superior sibling known. All in good faith though, because Hinata didn't mind doing all the chores and having little to herself.

Hinata and Sakura were two sides of a coin.

Hinata had midnight dark hair, pretty pale eyes and an incredible body figure that Sakura had once admitted to being jealous of. She was also kind and gentle. Literally anybody that saw and spoke to Hinata, boys especially, liked her at once. It was however so easy for girls to be jealous of her after all she was everything they wished to be.

Sakura on the other hand had hair the colour of cherry blossoms, her name sake, and stunning green eyes. While she was not as endowed as her counterpart she still cut a figure. She wasn't as nice as Hinata was and she was definitely not gentle, leaning more on the fiercely aggressive side but she had a heart of gold. She could not cook though. Bummer, because cooking would be our glass slipper in this story.

So there you have it– the main cast of our story! Starring:

Hinata Hyuga as Cinderella

Sakura Haruno as the step sister

Mebuki Haruno as the step mother

And

Cinnamon bun-kun as the glass slipper.
