The first thing that Hizashi noticed was voices, one was familiar and sounded slightly worried, the other voices belong to strangers.
Slowly, he opened his pale eyes, flinching at the light then opened them again.
The room was dark blue and smelled like Fugaku. He let out a groan, moving to rub his eyes with the palm of his hand.
"Oh, you are finally awake." Emerald green eyes stared at him, a beautiful face framed by short, bright pink hair that simply could not be real.
"What…..happened?" Hizashi managed to ask, coughing.
"You passed out from exhaustion, you haven't been taking good care of yourself, sweetie." The pink hair lady replied. Her hand moved to run through his hair, a warm expression on her face, it looked like she was about to cry.
A clearing of someone's throat seem to snap her out of it.
Pale eyes turned to look at the other two faces, first it was Fugaku who looked slightly worried, Hizashi wanted to take off those glasses and stare at the pale blue eyes, what did they look like?
The second face surprised him, it looked exactly like Fugaku's but more mature and eyes as dark as onyx with a sadness that made the younger Hyuga's chest ache.
"Right, sorry. Fugaku brought you to his house and called me, I am his aunt, Sakura Lee Haruno." She smiled warmly at him then turned to Fugaku and the lookalike "Make sure he follows the diet I left him and that he gets enough rest." She ordered, a hand on her hip.
Hizashi tried to get up but the room began to spin, the guy with the onyx eyes was there to catch him right away "Be careful." The voice was deep, similar to Fugaku's.
"Hizashi, you are under bed rest!" Sakura's firm voice snapped.
"I have to leave…..my mo-father, he will worry. " Would his mother even care?
"I already took care of it." The man calmly said.
Hizashi stared at the man, then glanced away, he didn't know Fugaku had an older brother.
"Sasuke, could you please come with me?" Sakura sweetly asked, the man glanced at Hizashi once more before leaving with Sakura.
"How long did I sleep?" Hizashi asked softly, running a hand through his hair.
"6 hours. You should go back to sleep." Fugaku replied, moving closer, after hesitating a moment, he ran his fingers through the brunette hair.
"Who was that man?" Hizashi asked, cheeks already turning red, he really wasn't used to affection, even something small like this.
"That was my father, he wanted to check on you." Fugaku pulled his hand away, sighing "Take better care of yourself, Hizashi."
The Hyuga was about to snap once more that he was fine but one look at the worried male made him shut up and nod.
Fugaku couldn't stop thinking about his father's expression when he brought Hizashi into the house.
The older Uchiha had turned pale and Fugaku swore that he heard "Neji?" Before the younger Uchiha had rushed to his room.
He had explained to his father that the smaller male was his friend, Hizashi, then watched as his father flinched at the name before that calm mask came back up.
Who was Neji? Fugaku had a few theories already and he was rarely wrong.
"Go back to sleep, Hizashi." Shin would throw a fit if he finds out about the Hyuga fainting.
He watched the smaller male hesitate, then sighed and moved to lay next to Hizashi, ignoring the surprised expression.
There was something about Hizashi that made Fugaku want to protect him, the same feeling that made him want to always protect Shin.
"I am not leaving." He promised lowly, eyes closing as he took off his glasses, almost opening them when he felt soft fingers tracing his eyelids then Hizashi pulled away from him.

"You are not going to tell him anything?" Sakura hissed once they were in Sasuke's office.
"I already promised Neji that I wouldn't, how would it benefit me?" Sasuke calmly replied.
"But that's your son! He deserves to know…...Fugaku deserves to know that he's close to his brother, his twin brother. " Sakura was furious, it was Naruto, Itachi and her who had to pick up the pieces that Neji left broken, in her eyes, the Hyuga had no right to add his two cents anymore!
"And what will I tell them, Sakura? They both need to be eased into it. Do not tell me how to handle my family!" Sasuke gave her his famous Uchiha glare.
"Oh, that's rich coming from you, Sasuke. Naruto and I have both been much of a parent to Fugaku as you! Or have you forgotten how you tried to d-" She was stopped by the sound of Sasuke slamming his hand down on his desk.
"Get out, Sakura…..just get out."He coldly ordered her.
"I am worry about you, Sasuke…...I am worry about all of you." She refused to cry as she glanced at her best friend then left, calling Naruto.
"He's back, Naru…...Neji is back." Her voice broke, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She heard silence and frowned "You knew?! " She yelled, getting in her car.
"I….had my suspicion. " Naruto mumbled.
"Did you also know about Hizashi and Fugaku knowing each other?" Sakura growled out.
"...WHAT?"
"Hizashi is resting in Sasuke's house, I won't let Neji ruin Sasuke again." She had made a promise to Fugaku and Sasuke when Neji had left that she would protect them, even if she had to be the villain.
"Fuck, I am on my way…"There was a pause, some banging and shuffling noises a;
"Sai, get your shit together." and then a "I'll call you later, Sakura!"
Sakura sighed, thinking about her boys. If she had known what her actions would have resulted in, she would have never done it but as it was, there had been no way of knowing about the bomb she was about to set off.

A.N;/ Hello everyone, so I had this written a few days ago but I've been getting a lot of really bad Asthma attacks. I am actually quite impressed with how this one turned out since I was apparently having one of my attacks while writing this [I swear, I hadn't realized it was severe while I was typing this chapter.]
Anyways, shit gets real! I feel like the chapters are going to be more fun now. As always thanks for reading, please let me know what you think.
-Y-
