In the midst of a dream, the longhaired male moaned. Whether or not the young teen was having a nightmare about the attack, the medical nin did not know. All they really knew was that Tsunade assumed that it was a relapse of the Genjutsu.

This was also the cause of the Hyuuga not responding to anything the Hokage tried to make the boy regain consciousness.

Friends and family had visited the boy on and off in between being sent out to retrieve the Kyuubi vessel from the clutches of the evil organization Akatsuki.

The nurse tending to the boy gave him a sympatric look even though it was likely that he would ever know. The reason for this look was that he had been in this state for nearly a month and because no one visited as much as they used to. It was as if they had given up all hope on him.

"You poor thing." She whispered, stroking back the dark hair to reveal the acid green curse mark on his forehead. "You were up against one of the strongest shinobi that Konoha had ever seen and because of that you're stuck in this state."

The whimpering began to crease as the woman continued to soothe back the long hair. Soon the only sound she could hear from the prodigy was his soft breathing.

Shaking her head lightly, she picked up her clipboard and left the room in its total darkness state.

Two minutes after the middle-aged woman left the room, a solo shadow entered the room. His features cloaked, though a set of deep crimson orbs glowed clearly in the low light.

For a few moments, he stood over the pale figure before shaking his head lightly. "I think you've learnt your lesson for going against me." He purred as he performed a short string of hand seal's to revive the younger.

Slowly silver eyes fluttered open to stare into the darkness. Blankly, the Jounin looked around the room slowly before his eyes fell on the dark intruder.

"This is a warning for the next time we meet, NEVER disobey my commands." The crimson-eyed male snarled as his hand snaked across to grip the helpless boy's throat. "Next time you won't get away with such a fatal mistake."

A small amount on pressure was pressed to the Jounins jugular before the feeling faded away along with the other male. Silently, the young Hyuuga looked away from where the interloper had previously been to look at watch the ceiling.

"Itachi…" He breathed softly. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't pleased that the elder had awoken him from his constant nightmare, but at the same time, he wished that he hadn't.

He was sure that by the next day the Hokage would know of his awakening and would expect an explanation along with the information about the disappearance of one Uzumaki Naruto.

There was no way that he could lie without feeling guilty. It was against his nature. It was something that his father had praised his son on the most. To keep such an act made him feel closer to the deceased man.

Sighing, he looked to his other side to find a call button that most of the hospitals usually had. Picking up the button connected to a long white wire, he braced himself. Once he pushed, the button there was no going back. He would be declared conscious, then everyone who knew about this would know and the questioning would begin.

However, in the same aspect, he couldn't pretend to be in a coma for long if he didn't do anything.

With the reasoning done, the Hyuuga looked back up to the ceiling and squeezed the red trigger.

It seemed the act wasn't expected, as he heard a large crash along with multiple fast-paced footsteps heading to his room. Closing his eyes, he reframed from flinching when the door pushed open with a force to slam it into the wall beside it.

Reopening his eyes, he watched as the nurses all collectively gasped before a familiar head of pink hair made its way through the group.

"So the button is working properly." The owner of the pink hair mused. "It's good to see your finally awake, Neji."

Though she was smiling, the Hyuuga could see through it. Her eyes contained a large amount of sadness while her smile was faked.

"I take it you haven't found him yet." Was his only response. Hell, Neji knew that it was probably too late to get the young blonde back the second Akatsuki had control over him. "I'm sorry Sakura. I'm sure you didn't need to go through this a second time."

"There's nothing for you to be sorry about." The younger growled as the group of nurses began to deplete. "You were up against Uchiha Itachi, there wasn't much you and Naruto could do by yourself."

"It's still inexcusable." Neji protested, as he forced his body to sit up despite the stiffness in his joints. "There's still hope though."

Slowly the medical nin shook her head as her green eyes fell from his face. "You've been out for a month and without the information that you could have provided, our search was useless. He's most likely dead now."

Silence fell between the two shinobi as the female of the two began to go over some of the Hyuuga's vitals. This was mostly because Neji was wondering how he should feel.

Their silence was broken when a busty blonde woman entered the room and looked over the prodigy. "So you're finally awake, ae brat." She said with an eyebrow raised. "You took your time."

"My apologies, Hokage-sama." The Hyuuga sighed bowing his head forward slightly out of respect. "If I could have control my lack of consciousness, I would have awoken earlier."

"I'm sure you would have." The blonde-haired woman replied thoughtfully. "I'll get your report from you in the morning. For now, I think it is best that you rest. And no, I don't care that your been sleeping for a month, you still need your rest."

Blinking, Neji nodded as the woman left with Sakura following in behind her and did as told.

It was early the next morning that the Hyuuga awoke. As a branch family member and a shinobi he was accustom to getting up at dawn.

After several minutes of lying and watching the ceiling, the Hyuuga decided that he was bored. Like the rest of his team when he was a genin, he was a rather active person…though he and Tenten were a little less…energetic than their old sensei and Lee.

Slowly, Neji forced himself up slowly though his muscles protested the movement after such a long time. Clutching onto the headboard of the bed, he forced himself to stand on shaky legs. With his arms holding tightly to the bed, the silver-eyed teen began to move around the room until he got to the point where he could move around without being aided.

Finally pleased with the fact that he had regained control over his body once more, Neji knelt down in front of a small cupboard next to his bed and regained his clothing. Moving swiftly to the adjoining bathroom, the teen changed into his clothes and set to brushing his long dark hair.

Even after a month, the long strands were still very much untangled and neat. Even though this would be odd for others to have almost perfect hair after being asleep for a month, Neji brought it down to the Hyuuga genes. It was rare to see a Hyuuga with bad hair.

Once his full attire was in place, Neji left the small room and entered the plain white walled room. He had a strange feeling that he wouldn't be getting visitors today, but he knew was that the news of him awakening would have gotten around Konoha by now.

Sitting back down on his bed, he sat still for a while but became restless. Usually he would train at this time then he would have breakfast with Hiashi, Hinata and Hanabi.

Hours later, the Hyuuga had been feed and one of the nurses gave him a Sudoku book and a pen to work on to kill his boredom.

By the time the Hokage had arrived, he was more than halfway through the book. Even though it claimed that they would get more difficult as he went through them, he was yet to find one that challenged his prodigy mind.

"It appears that you are ready to leave." The Hokage started as the Hyuuga continued to work on the puzzles. "I'll let you go after you've had a final check up."

Finally placing the last number into the puzzle, he closed his book and placed it on the bedside table. Slowly he recounted the details of the mission excluding the part about Kisame calling him Itachi's pet. Once finished, he waited for the Hokage to say something.

"So what your saying is that Itachi and Kisame showed up, you tried to get Naruto to run but Itachi caught you and used Naruto's need to protect his friends against him, then once they had bound Naruto Itachi kissed you…" The Hokage recounted as the Hyuuga blushed deeply. "But after that he attacked you."

"Hai." Neji nodded not looking directly at the blonde woman. He didn't exactly know what drove him to say that he'd been kissed by the missing-nin.

"I guess that Itachi's actions can be justified in some ways." Tsunade sighed before turning to leave. "You can go home Neji."

As soon as Neji go back to the Hyuuga compound, he was greeted by his uncle. The elder seemed more standoffish than usual. It was almost as if knew something about Neji that he himself did not.

Shrugging it off, the young Hyuuga made his way deeper into the compound until he came across the Hyuuga library that contained all the clan's ledgers and diary's for the head clan and only main house could enter.

What the clan didn't count on was Hyuuga Neji. Like how he was able to escape the compound undetected, he could get into any place he wished within it…including the Hyuuga library.

Quickly, he gathered all the information he needed to figure out a way to counter a curse seal before leaving the large building.

He had done the exact same thing when he wanted to learn the main house jutsus, but he only ended up with barely enough information so filled in the blanks while watching the head of clan as he trained Hanabi.

Entering his room, he spread out the papers on his bed and began to go over the aspects of the caged-bird seal.

He discovered that the seal was more complicated than he first thought. To be able to place the mark on any Hyuuga, it had to be in the right position. If it were off by a millimeter, it would be useless. Sadly, Neji knew this was not the case for him. His seal was functioning, as it should.

After what seemed hours (it most likely was due to the setting of the sun), the only thing that repeated its self through out the papers was the words 'When the seal is removed then so is the Kekki Genkai.'.

Growling at the masses of text, the Hyuuga pushed it to one side of his room and collapsed onto his bed. It was beginning to seem that such a feat to please the one man he loved most was going to be impossible.

It was only after this conclusion that he realized that he really did love the Uchiha even if he did not return the feeling. Not to mention, the thought of being in a one sided relationship seemed to make his heart clench to the point he felt as if he was going to throw up.

A small timid knock brought him out of his thoughts and slight despair followed by the soft voice of his young cousin informing him that "That dinner had been severed."…but with the stuttering.

Politely, he declined the offer of food claiming that he wasn't hungry which seemed to suffice the girl who left shortly afterwards.

Sighing, he buried his head into his pillow and attempted to come up with a way to rid himself of the strong bars that held him to his clan.

'Regarded as a genius but somehow getting stuck in a situation with no easy escape…that's just like me isn't it.' Neji concluded snorting at his own luck. 'All I need is for Itachi and give me a deadline and I'm screwed.'

Its not finished yet!

ONTO PART TWO!!
