Chapter 1

He grabbed his chest hard and let out an irritated groan. He massaged his chest for a bit without grabbing much attention, then got both of his hands back on the wheel as soon as he saw the traffic light turn green.

"I told you to take your heartburn pill before dinner" said his wife who was sitting on his right. She had been nagging him before leaving the house to take his medicine so they could enjoy the food, and here they were once again. Him struggling with the burning feeling in his chest and her scowl nagging him about being right.

"Mikoto did you tell Itachi about this weekend."

She rolled her eyes knowing he was trying to change the subject, but knew deep down that he was nervous about visiting his son after a long time. Who wouldn't be, he had basically pushed him to the limit, and now he sees how harsh the treatment was towards sasuke. Any parent that accepts how wrong they treated their child would be nervous to see them and ask for their forgiveness. Well let's not go there, Fugaku wasn't going to apologize but he was guilty for pushing his son away.

"yeah, he agreed that it's better for us to arrive first then he will show up"

"Isn't it better we all arrive together?"

"Well maybe sasuke might feel cornered, and it is a good idea for Itachi come in later to deal with any aftermath"

She noticed how his hands gripped the steering wheel harder not because of anger, but of nervousness. It's been some time since they've seen their younger son, and like any mother of course she misses him, and she could see that in her husband's eyes he was missing him as well. She grabbed his shoulder and squeezed it.

"You guys will fight, but trust me as long you tell him how much you love him and how you've changed he will accept coming back"

He let out a sight and stop at a red. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. Her heart melted, those moments when her husband was affectionate were truly refreshing about how much he cared.

"I hope so darling"

He saw her beautiful smile, however behind her head there seemed to be a light coming quite fast towards them. Before he could have processed what was happening, he felt his head hit the window then the steering wheel, his ears heard a piercing noise. He opened his eyes, everything was blurry, he felt like he was floating and moving everywhere. He moved to look at mikoto, and he saw the glass spread all over her clothes and few cuts on her face. He tried reaching to his wife, but he felt hands on him and heard a laugh.

(SOMEWHERE ELSE)

Damn she recently had just bought a package of hair ties, where do these bastards hide. Keeping three on her wrist seemed like a good idea but then all the nurses come to her and ask to borrow one. Borrow, yeah right, more like lend and never see them again. Giving up on her search, she closed her locker and put on her white robe and stethoscope around her neck and headed to the hallway. She inhaled the clean smell and loved every second of it, most people would say that they hate hospitals, but for her it was heaven. She enjoyed working, the constant movement of being on your toes since there was always an emergency. Of course her most favorite part is the late hours she has to stay doing paperwork that would keep her out of her single lonely apartment.

Her friends have been saying how she is turning into a workaholic and maybe even be asexual. In her defense that is absurd, Hyuuga Hinata is not some man avoiding workaholic monster, no sir. She just preferred finding that right guy who would understand that work comes first, and yeah and it seemed to be that she loves her job but that doesn't mean she hates men, just that she has priorities. Yes, priorities that's it. Did she also tell you she loves her job? Well she does.

Suddenly a nurse bumped into her, she was ready to apologize but saw that the nurse was out of breath and had a panicky look.

"Doctor Hyuuga, two patients just came in very badly wounded"

Just by hearing that they started walking quickly to the trauma room, Hinata gave a motion to the nurse to keep talking about their injuries. It seemed to be that the woman had punctured her lungs from broken ribs, and the man seemed to have hit his head and have a possible brain bleed. Once entering the room, she saw two beds, the woman was already being treated by one of her colleagues cutting the woman through her side to inflate her lung to keep her breathing. She went straight to the man, with blood over his face you could still tell he was good looking.

"How are we in the head scans"

She whipped her stethoscope and started to listen for a heartbeat.

"We sent a notice to the department and it seems they are full on schedule"

Hinata was ready to argue back but as soon as she let go of her stethoscope, the man had turned and vomited all over the floor and his own clothes. She quickly held him so he wouldn't fall and she tried to talk to him, but he lost consciousness right away.

"Alright let's take him into the Operating Room now, seems he might have an intracerebral hemorrhage"

As I was pushing his bed towards the exit of the room, he seemed to regain consciousness. His eyes were roaming everywhere. He scrunched his face up like he was getting a headache. He zeroed in to her face and tried talking to her.

"Tell them…."

she was confused "tell who? Sir are you allergic to some type of medicine?"

He shook his head slowly "my sons….I'm proud" that's when she noticed that he was giving her a message. It broke her heart, even though she loved her job, she loathed these cases where patients felt they wouldn't make it.

"Find out their kids and call them" she told a nurse when they reached the elevator, the nurse nodded and ran back to the main desk. "I won't have to sir, right after this you will tell them yourself" she could see his small smile and his eyes were closing like he was going back to a deep sleep.

(ANOTHER PLACE)

Everyone in the trauma room could hear the sirens coming from the outside. A few doctors were fighting with someone outside that had left their car in the middle of the entrance were ambulances normally come in with patients. Itachi had pushed everyone out of his way and ran to the first nurse he could find. There were cops and doctors running after him thinking he was a danger to everyone. He grabbed the nurse and started asking questions.

"My parents, where are they? I got a call that they have been in a car accident"

He seemed surprise, but of course who wouldn't be if a man twice your size started to manhandle you. He couldn't think straight; his chest was hurting from the thought of losing his parents. The nurse looked at his eyes and saw they were red and glassy, normally he would assume he was high but now it was more towards crying. Itachi shook him again since he wasn't talking at all. The cops were getting closer and some doctors were ready to tackle him down

"Sir calm down, let me go or you will be kicked out of here"

Itachi then was grabbed by two security guys, he struggles to get free but everyone was just shouting to calm down. He gave up, he just needed to know what was happening. He stopped struggling but the guards didn't let him go, He looked up to the nurse again now with a pleading voice.

"Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, please tell me where they are"

Itachi saw the man go to the main desk and started asking questions. He could hear the lady type as fast as she could and mumbled her answer to the nurse. He came back to him and slowly chose his words. Having an emotional aggressive man was a normal routine for some nurses, and they could tell this was just going to be another one.

"They are still in surgery sir, you will ha-"

"FUCK NO, tell me who are these doctors and what room, I need to know what happened NOW"

The nurse didn't flinch, knowing his reaction would of been that. The guards still held him tight and telling him to calm down. Then he saw a woman with violet eyes jog up to him, she had a tired face. She took her floral cap off and dismissed the nurse.

"Are you Itachi Uchiha?"

"Yes, I need to talk to the doctor who is in charge of my parents"

"Please take a seat, my name is Dr. Hyuuga"

The guards pushed Itachi to the side of the room and forced him to sit. They were going to handcuffed him but the lady seemed to scoff and stare them down.

"He won't be a problem; you can leave officers"

Itachi wasn't listening that much he just wanted to know what was happening. He couldn't see anymore, tears were falling down and the pain in his chest just got heavier.

"no, please no… tell me they are okay"

She got down on one knee, he could see her pain and how honest she was being. However, no matter how nice or beautiful this woman was, her words left him broken.

"I'm sorry we did the best we could" She held my hands. He was late, and he could never see them again.

(SOMEWHERE ELSE)

BEEP BEEP, I hit the alarm and heard a soft sigh after.

"Why did you leave the alarm on?"

I slid out of bed and started heading towards the bathroom. I didn't want to see who the girl i had brought home last night. Seems like the more drunk I get, the crazy the taste I go for in women. The worst one was a loud very touchy blonde, who took forever to understand she was a one-night stand.

"I have to shower, get your clothes, I left some money on the counter for you to buy coffee, bye"

I walked into the shower before she could say anything back. I locked the door and got under the shower head, I shivered from the cold water that would help me wake up. I leaned my hands on the wall readying myself from the flashbacks of last night, and oh man did it come with a vengeance. My head started pounding, seems to be I took a red head this time whose name is Marin? Or Katie? Well who cares now. I just had to focus so all the contents that I drank wouldn't come out.

I got out of the shower and went into my room, and just like the others she was gone. I noticed a note on my mirror, and reality hit me. My parents were coming over tomorrow but knowing my mother she would probably come tonight. I felt annoyed, I can tolerate my mother, just that he gets on my nerves very easily. I got my clothes on and reached for my phone. I noticed that the battery was dead. While I left it to charge, I decided to go downstairs and check what other groceries I needed.

The phone started to ring which was very confusing since nobody calls this early to the house phone, especially since I only had three contacts that knew my house number, it wouldn't be my brother since he prefers texting, my mother would be too busy cooking breakfast, ah the dobe probably wanting to ask about his sexuality. I kept looking through the fridge leaving the call go to voicemail.

"Sasuke"

my body froze, that voice it wasn't my brother right?

"I don't know why you haven't picked up your phone…listen brother"

no way it's him, he sounds so… broken.

"mom and dad…..they.. ugh just….you have to come back home please"

this was definitely not Itachi, never would he plead especially to a touchy subject like that.

"Itachi what the hell is wrong with you?"

"With me? Why haven't you picked up your phone?"

"It was out of battery, what's got you acting weird?"

"Sasuke, mother and father….they are gone…"

My stomach churned, I needed to throw up.
