Suigin Tou's reddish-purple eyes trembled slightly due to intense emotion, but her tone remained deep and clear, like the echoes of magma boiling beneath the earth.
"So, after I arrived, you've been here all along, right?"
This question made the Byakugan girl kneeling there shiver. She could discern the near-hysterical rage in Mercury Lamp's words.
"...Yes."
Even though they shared the same body, as 'Hinata', the part currently within Suigin Tou was undoubtedly a solidified embodiment of dark desires. While she wantonly indulged in desires, she was also driven by various desires, just as darkness itself is part of darkness.
And the part that remained, currently within 'Hinata's' body, was undoubtedly the very existence from the original story that radiated light through her strength and gentleness, illuminating herself and comforting others. Besides that pure and firm admiration, she harbored almost no other malice.
"It seems I made a spectacular mistake, thinking this was an empty house. So, those previous times this body wavered after I left, that was you doing it too?"
Black Hinata's lips curved slightly, a sharp and fierce arc revealing the wild fury in her heart. It was as if a long-held understanding she had about herself had now been proven wrong. And she had been so proud of this understanding, showing it off and using it to prove herself everywhere. The mix of shame and anger she felt now, recalling it, almost made her feel like she was on fire!
"Yes..."
White Hinata knelt opposite Black Hinata, lowering her head and answering softly. Clearly, she also understood Black Hinata's current feelings.
"If that's the case! Why hide??"
Gritting her teeth, Black Hinata forcefully lifted White Hinata's chin, aggressively forcing their gazes to meet: "Are you afraid of me?! Or, are you afraid to compete with me for the body?!"
"...Yes..."
Instinctively turning her eyes away to avoid Black Hinata's gaze, White Hinata's body began to tremble. But her timidity only made Black Hinata violently grab her hair and fiercely growl.
"Then! Why did you come out again?!! Huh?! If you hid at first, why come out again?!"
Black Hinata's aggressive and vicious interrogation made White Hinata's body tremble uncontrollably, and tears welled up in the Byakugan girl's eyes. Clearly, as someone who was very weak and introverted in the original story, she had no ability to resist Black Hinata, not even when her scalp was painfully pulled without showing any resistance.
"I knew it!! You played your cards well! You've been secretly observing my every move! Watching me use this body to accumulate so much capital!! You just waited for the right opportunity to strike, to claim everything I painstakingly achieved as your own?! Isn't that right?!"
White Hinata's lack of resistance only fueled Black Hinata's rage. She fiercely grabbed the other's shoulders and slammed her down onto the ground, then straddled White Hinata's waist. Black Hinata cupped White Hinata's face in her hands, forcing her to look at her, her tone growing increasingly hostile.
"Why aren't you speaking?! I'm right, aren't I? That's why, after I left twice before, you secretly ran out to see your sweetheart! That idiotic blonde fox! And this time, you actually dared to obstruct me in battle! Where did you get that nerve?!"
As she spoke the last sentence, Black Hinata lowered her head ferociously, their foreheads almost touching, and their reflections were clearly visible in each other's eyes.
"No... I just... wanted to see Naruto-kun again, and... Neji-nii-san shouldn't have died..."
It seemed that when the person she cared about was mentioned, a glimmer of courage finally appeared in White Hinata's eyes, but compared to Black Hinata's aura, her expression was more like a plea.
"Shut up!! You!!"
White Hinata's rebuttal instantly ignited Black Hinata's fury. Suigin Tou's body raised her right arm high, then brought it down fiercely. With a crisp smack, five swollen finger marks immediately appeared on White Hinata's left cheek. The immense force instantly twisted White Hinata's face to the side, yet she didn't utter a single whimper of pain.
"Ugh~!"
The one who whimpered, however, was Black Hinata.
As she slapped White Hinata's cheek, Black Hinata simultaneously felt a burning sensation on her own left cheek. This feeling made her momentarily stunned, but then it was followed by an even fiercer surge of anger!!
That's right, the Soul Transference Jutsu had another significant flaw: if the user's main body was harmed during the technique, even the soul that had entered another body would also suffer damage.
Even though 'Hinata's' body was currently being used by White Hinata, the slap Black Hinata dealt to her face still inflicted the same damage upon herself.
"...So that's how it is..."
Turning her head, Black Hinata raised a hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes, however, had cooled down, replaced by a calm yet cruel sense of determination.
"Did you see that? The owner of this body is me. In light of this fact, what else do you have to say?"
Staring at the silent White Hinata, Black Hinata sneered and extended her hand, then gently stroked the finger marks on the other's face: "do you still think you are 'Hyuga Hinata'?"
And turning her face, White Hinata's eyes looked at Black Hinata in front of her, and the Byakugan girl spoke softly.
"No... I just thought... you were me..."
This unexpected answer seemed to freeze Black Hinata's anger in an instant, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, as if to provide time for the two souls to contemplate.
"Heh... hehehehe... Ah hahahahaha~~~!"
After an unknown period, Black Hinata's abrupt and hysterical laughter once again broke the silence. She even laughed, holding her stomach, gasping for breath, bending over. Then, her laughter suddenly stopped, and she fiercely opened her eyes, glaring at White Hinata beneath her, her tone becoming sinister once more.
"Yes~~ There's no point arguing about this anymore. Who would be foolish enough to make things difficult for themselves? Alright, regardless, we are both 'Hyuga Hinata,' aren't we?"
Gently stroking the finger marks on White Hinata's cheek, a hint of cunning flashed in Black Hinata's eyes: "Besides~ you must have seen me kill, haven't you? Including my private collaboration with Danzo and the Akatsuki organization, and you didn't expose me to outsiders or anything. For that, I am very pleased."
"Ugh... I just... didn't want innocent people to die in vain..."
White Hinata replied softly, gritting her teeth, her voice tight. Clearly, the conversation with Black Hinata put immense pressure on her, to the point that her body instinctively felt fear.
"That's right~~ The samurai I killed were originally wicked types who deserved to die, and those genin in the Chunin Exams were just pawns from other countries, no need for pity. But why?"
Leaning down, Black Hinata ambiguously and alluringly extended her pink tongue, then lightly licked White Hinata's delicate neck. This sudden stimulation made White Hinata's body tense up sharply, and a different kind of panic seized her heart.
"No... don't..."
Instinctively trying to break free from Black Hinata's grip, but White Hinata was clearly far inferior to Black Hinata in fighting spirit, and Suigin Tou's body already had an overwhelming advantage in strength. Realizing White Hinata wanted to struggle, Black Hinata merely sneered and with one hand grabbed both of the other's wrists, then pinned them above her head.
"Relax~ After all, we are partners so intimate that we even share a body. Although I detest your personality to the core, your identity, body, and status, however, satisfy me greatly. If it weren't for this Hyuga clan young lady's identity, I probably wouldn't have achieved my current status so smoothly."
Looking mockingly at White Hinata's frightened expression, Black Hinata unhurriedly continued to speak: "Never mind~ No matter what, since this body has half of you, then logically~ everything earned through this body should indeed be half yours, so be it~"
With her right hand, Black Hinata lifted White Hinata's mesh chest protector, then lowered her head, gazing at White Hinata's face, half pale and half flushed from shame and terror. Her tone abruptly shifted, becoming filled with a lewd suggestion: "Oh right~ I forgot to ask, during my times with Haku and Karin, how did you feel anything~?"
"Ugh~~ No~~ I don't know~~"
Closing her eyes tightly and turning her face away, White Hinata clearly knew what Black Hinata was asking. And with a cold sneer, Black Hinata lowered her head and greedily took White Hinata's nipple into her mouth, biting down hard with malicious intent. Suigin Tou's pristine white teeth seemed to sink into a snowdrift, immediately engulfed by the tender, snow-white skin. The ensuing pain and stimulation made White Hinata's body instinctively jerk upwards with a sharp "Ah" scream, which only intensified Black Hinata's breathing.
"Hehehehe~ How peculiar~~ It's clearly your reaction, but I can feel it too."
Releasing White Hinata's tender skin, Black Hinata greedily licked a trace of crimson from the corner of her mouth. On the raised, snow-colored peak, the bite mark she left was perfectly clear, even seeping a faint trace of blood. This vivid red, now combined with the surrounding snow-like skin tone, showcased an unspeakable ambiguity to the fullest.
"Ugh... This isn't..."
White Hinata's tone was already an unmasked gasp, but the next moment, her cherry lips were greedily blocked by Black Hinata, who was pressing down on her. The muffled sounds of their breathing immediately made the atmosphere of the entire basement turn wild again. Just as it had been not long ago.

(ANs: Hmm~ o(￣▽￣)o~~ Very good, you wanted black and white~~ However, even after being messed with, it doesn't mean White Hinata will submit~~)
