Hinata lay curled up on her cousin's bed, her face streaked with tears as she stared into complete nothingness.
Neji entered the room again, and placed a sturdy hand on her back.
"Do you need anything, Hinata-Sama?" He asked softly.
Hinata shook her head, and sat up.
"I just don't understand… Who would want to attack Hanabi like that?" Her voice was hoarse, as she got the words out.
"She's future head of the Hyuuga clan. A lot of people might've wanted her gone." Neji replied in turn.
Hinata sighed and got to her feet.
"Do you know the time?"" She questioned, slipping on her shoes, and jacket.
Neji pulled his phone out of his pocket to check.
"It's exactly 2 in the morning." He responded blankly.
"Thank you." Hinata smiled, pecking her cousin on the cheek and going to leave the household.
Her father, and mother were on the couch- holding each other tightly. She found it best to leave them be. As she opened the door though, her father called to her.

"Hinata… My daughter…" He spoke, his usual firm tone vanishing from sight.
Hinata turned to him slowly.
"Yes, father?" She watched as he stood up and walked over to her.
Soon they were eye-to-eye.
Hiashi Hyuuga stepped forward… and pulled Hinata into a loving embrace.
"Father…?" She asked softly, not sure if she should return the gesture.
"I'm sorry for treating you harshly in the past… Your mother and I… We love you- and we always will love you. No matter what happens. You are my flesh and blood, and more importantly… You're my baby girl…" He started to tear up. "And nothing will change that. No matter how far apart we are- I hold you close to my heart."
Hinata finally hugged her father back, allowing the parental warmth she never had to seep through her.
"I love you too, father."

Hinata arrived home by taxi at 2:35 AM.
She slipped off her shoes as she walked through the front door, and placed her bag and keys down on the kitchen bench.
Curiously, the Hyuuga opened her daughter's bedroom door to find…
Sasuke had fallen asleep next to Sari, as the two slept soundly in an embrace.
Hinata smiled softly, leaning her head against the doorframe.
Sasuke may not be her father… But Sari IS his daughter.
