Chapter I
It was late night in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The moon showed full with a bright and calming aura to it's midnight glow. The streets were empty for the most part, aside from a few ninja here and there entering and leaving on missions. Among these ninja was a tired Hyuga. His pale eyes expressed tiredness, wanting to drop where he stood if it meant he could rest. He had already departed from Tenten and Lee, who was a bouncing ball of energy even now. Lee had wanted to treat his team to a late night meal for their victorious mission, but after Neji expressed he just wanted to go home Lee opted for just Tenten. Neji figured Lee was just as happy to be alone with their female teammate anyway.
Finally reaching the compound, Neji felt relieved. But he couldn't rest just yet, for he had to check on his beloved cousins. Yes it was true things with Hinata hadn't started on a lovely basis, but ever since encountering that blonde knuckle head his mindset was changed for the better. He was her older cousin, he had to be someone she could look up to and be that person she could come to for anything. It sure wasn't going to be her father who had her back. He had to be her support beam when no one else was there, so he would try his best. Reaching Hinata and Hanabi's quarters, Neji first checked on his youngest cousin. Peeping in on her ever so slightly he saw her asleep in her bed. Good. He sighed. That's one cousin sleeping tight and now for the other.
Neji closed Hanabi's door and walked down the hall, coming to a stop in front of Hinata's door. He peeped in and saw her on her bed under a heap of cover, head and all. He then looked to the side seeing her window open, she must've been very cold with the cool breeze flowing into her room. He stepped in, heading straight for her window and closing it. He then stood in front of her bed, a smile on his face. It felt good being the nice cousin instead of the harsh one. He may be overprotective of Hinata and Hanabi, but it made him feel all fuzzy and warm inside to know he was doing the right thing. As he was taking the cover from over her head his eyes were on the door to Hinata's bathroom. The light was on and he could've sworn he heard something. Like water running... And then it stopped... Neji then looked below him, seeing the pale face and dark hair tinted with a hint of purple of, "UCHIHA!?" Neji exclaimed as his hands wrapped around the young avenger's neck in attempt to strangle the bastard in his sleep.
Sasuke's eyes flew open, quickly recognizing the male Hyuga and the situation he was in. 'What the hell? He wasn't supposed to be back till tomorrow!' Sasuke thought quickly as he grabbed the wrist of Neji, trying to free himself of his grasp. And that was when her voice was heard.
"Neji nii-san! Stop!" Hinata exclaimed, coming out of her bathroom clutching a loose white long sleeve shirt together that stopped at her knees, just over her thigh length shorts. Water dripping down her face with hair just as wet. She had taken a shower.
Neji's grip on the Uchiha's neck tightened, becoming even more firm. His anger flared, "What the hell is going on Hinata?!"
...
It took a minute for things to calm down. Hinata was sitting on her bed with her legs folded beneath her, she starred at her hands rested on her thighs. She was burning with embarrassment, her cheeks as red as tomatoes. She didn't expect her cousin to arrive a day early... She was fighting the instinct to just give up and faint...
Sasuke sat beside the Hyuga heiress, one leg hanging off the end of the bed and the other pulled close to his chest to help support the arm he rested his head on. He was looking directly into Neji's eyes, giving the man an annoyed glare. Ugh, why did he have to ruin his sleep, now the Uchiha was cranky and pissed off.
"What the hell is going on here? Please tell me this is some sick genjutsu... I mean Sasuke is supposed to be gone! A rogue! He's supposed to be lost and he's right up under our noses! With you of all people, Hinata!" Neji sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Why wasn't the damned Uchiha wearing a damn shirt! He stood in front of the two younger teens seated on the bed. He didn't dare let his mind wonder! No way his sweet little Hinata would indulge in such things and with the Uchiha asshole no less! But the signs were there... Had they already?! No, no, no! He must not think like that. "Explain yourselves now." He groaned out.
Hinata opened her mouth to speak, but nothing happened. No words were audible... She froze up... This was too much for her poor heart to handle. Oh, how she wanted this to be over!
Sasuke didn't glance at Hinata, his eyes trained solely on Neji. No arrogant smirk present on his face. No Sharingan flaring in his eyes. No hand of lightning aimed Neji's way. He was Hinata's cousin, so no matter how much he wanted to silence the fool, he mustn't... "It's normal..." Was all he said.
Neji was clenching his fist tighter than he ever has. "Normal? This is madness!"
Sasuke sighed finally taking his eyes off the older Hyuga. He ran a hand through his hair and gritted his teeth showing frustration. "We always do this. Just not... here..." He looked up to see Hinata's cousin reaction. Maybe this would be interesting after all.
Neji nearly blew a fuse, as veins popped from the sides of his eyes. This was completely unbelievable! Impossible!
Sasuke glared at the Hyuga male and smirked, "It's not like this is our first time. Right Hinata Hime?"
If Sasuke were to look over at Hinata he would see her hyperventilating with her eyes shut. She wasn't prepared for this encounter... At all!
"Ugh." Sasuke looked over at Hinata and put a hand on her shoulder. He squeezed it tight to get her attention. She opened her eyes and slowed her breathing by looking into the dark orbs that were Sasuke's eyes, "You said you were prepared if something like this happened..." He then grunted.
Hinata shook her head, no, rapidly. She was not prepared, she wasn't ready, "N-no, no, I-I lied!" She spoke quickly as she dug her head in Sasuke's chest. "I didn't t-think I'd break this f-fast..."
Sasuke could feel his chest getting wet, it had to be Hinata's tears. He pulled her away from his chest and gave her a look of disappointment. "And I thought you changed. Don't go back to the weak Hinata. You showed me the strong you, remember? Naruto wouldn't sit here and cry..." He didn't want to mention the blonde bastard's name. It made him angry sometimes... But he refused to see her revert back to the old Hinata so easily.
Hinata wiped the tears staining her blushing red cheeks away and looked Neji in his Byakugan activated eyes. She stood up and forced a smile on her face, "I love Sasuke Uchiha!" She quietly exclaimed.
