When Vee discovers Hunter used to be the Golden Guard, she gets upset and refuses to speak to him. But since neither of them have anywhere else to go, they're stuck navigating an extremely difficult relationship.
It doesn't help that Hunter is keeping a secret from her.
"It's time Hinata, no more waiting." Hiashi orders and she withers under his stare, knows her time is up. Though she's known about this day for years, she'd been wishing, hoping he would change his mind and not give into one of Konoha's oldest and cruel traditions. When a suitable girl comes of age and the bribe isn't made, you're sacrificed to the village's jinchuriki…Canon AU
