They finally made to the hospital and were greeted by the receptionist because Kō need to sign their names on the visitors list.

"Hmm It seems he already has some of his family visiting him, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing someone as cute as you to cheer him up," the older lady grinned at Hinata.

Hinata instantly hid behind Kō unsure how to take the compliment while her caretaker gave her a look that said don't be rude.

"T-Th-Thank you M-Madam," she stuttered shyly while clutching on to Kō's back of his shirt. They were led by a nurse to the burn unit where Hinata saw patients with some horrible burns and scars with some even in wheelchairs. She really hated seeing the pain in their eyes and it reminded what happen to most of her family members.

It was like she was back in the fire all over again as she buried her face in the bouquet as more memories of that night resurfaced.

Flashback

Hinata awoken to screams as her eyes open to bellows of dark smoke filling her bedroom. She stood up in a coughing fit unable to breath scrambling to the doorway. She forced the door open only to be greeted by more smoke and fire.

"Father!" Hinata cried in complete fear. Over and over she screamed for her Father, Kō, and for anyone that could hear her. She ran for her life with desperate tears in her eyes unable to find anyone to help her.

She made down to the second floor and just thought of jumping out of a window thinking she might survive a two-story drop, it was that or be burned alive. That is when she slammed into someone making her fall back on to her butt. Hinata could barely see who it was because the smoke and tears blurred her vision.

"H-Help me P-Please!" She coughed drenched in sweat from all the heat as she crawled to the person feet. The person crouched down to her level and roughly grabbed by her chin. Now staring into it bright lantern like eyes with the fire from the background gleaming in them.

"I don't think you want my help…but Mother always favor you Hamura," He said in a contemplating way. Hinata felt more afraid with each and every passing second because she had no idea what he was talking about or if he was even human. Before she even knew it, she was plucked from the floor hurl into a nearby closet knocking the wind out of her.

Hinata got up dizzily not understand what was happening and questioning if she was even awake because this felt like a terrible nightmare. Whoever he was, he was now blocking the door frame and it was looking at endless sea of abyss because he drowned out the light from the embers.

"Shhh you can't say I didn't warn you," He whispered putting a finger to his jagged smirk while slowly melting in door creepily. She reached up towards the door with shaking hands to touch it thinking he was going to pull her into the darkness, but only found solid wood and that she locked in the closet.

Hinata activated her bloodline seeing that the humanoid disappeared without a trace. She watched as members from her clan either perished or were injuried trying to get to her.

Flashback over

"Lady Hinata were here," Kō slightly alarmed that she didn't respond right away and started to think bring her to hospital was a bad idea because even the nurse was looking at her with concern.

"Y-Yes s-sorry," Hinata blinked several times because she wasn't sure where or what that creature was. It one of reason Hinata told her father she didn't remember seeing who it was because it was like coming face to face with a monster that lived in a nightmare and her father would never believe her. She barely believed it herself.

The nurse knocked on the door and open it.

"Obito you got a few more vis-Kakashi Hatake how did you get in here because you never check-in on the guest sign-up list!" the nurse huffed pointing accusing finger at him.

"I had no idea I had to sign-in," He said looking as clueless as he possible because she told him several times this week.

"He climbed through the window again nurse Fumiko," Obito laughed. Sasuke gave Kakashi a suspicious look while thinking that his cousin was way too trustful into strangers.

"Well you better be leaving soon because it beyond the maximum capacity of guests he can have!" Fumiko glared at the copy ninja as Obito trying to see who the new visitors were.

He only saw a man with a bunch of flowers stick out behind his back until saw Hinata peeking over his side timidly. Obito could not prevent the smile from gracing his lips because for the longest time he thought she was stuck at the hospital somewhere and often he tried to sneak out of his room to see if she was ok, but he always got caught by one of the medical employees.

To see her healthy with a daisy chain around her head like a halo and a bundle of wild flowers in her hands it filled him with happiness he could not describe.

"Kō I actually need to speak with you it about the investigation," Itachi said as soon as they entered the room. Kō was surprise at first on how fast the Uchiha police force was getting involved and no doubt their clan didn't want any other clan in their affairs, but he could only comply.

"Of course, is there any where we can speak privately?" he replied none too happy that he had to leave Hinata alone.

"Before you leave Itachi is there any way I can get my book back that you took from me?" Kakashi said in a serious tone.

"After we come back because we need you to supervisor the children," Kō gave him a look that said book? while Itachi just shook his head with a look that said don't ask as they followed the nurse out.

Sasuke became highly upset that Itachi would just leave them with some strange man while Kakashi became extremely depressed that his book was taken from him and now he was trapped babysitting some brats.

"Why do have that stupid smile on your face for dummy?" Sasuke asked irritated about the situation as noticed Obito was in a daze like state.

Obito just straight up ignored him and hugged Hinata tight that he thought he was going to start crying.

"I'm glad you're ok," Was he could think of saying.

"I-I'm glad you're a-alive," she said in completely honesty while staring at the all bandages up and down both his arms. Hinata quickly moved away from him realizing they were crushing the bouquet and the fact she was getting more flustered the longer they hugged.

"Sakura helped me made this bouquet for you," shocking Obito because he didn't expect the flowers at all.

"You know boys don't like flowers," Sasuke suddenly giving his opinion causing Hinata to rethink giving the flowers to him.

"Don't listen to him I'm not like other boys I love them!" He glared at his cousin wishing he would shut his mouth while taking the flowers and holding them close to his chest.

"Well she better not start following me around," he said unfazed by his glare remembering her mentioning Sakura. He just didn't understand why he was friends with this Hyūga girl.

"Hinata is not like those girls!" Obito snapped with his sharingan blazing because he hated having to imagine Hinata being one of Sasuke's crazy fangirls.

"Shouldn't be able to achieve sharingan especially since you can't do the right of passage at all," changing subjects because he was royally pissed that he got sharingan before him and the fact he was youngest right now to have it in their clan.

"Nyaaaah someone is jealous, but it doesn't matter cause I still have it," Obito taunted while doing akanbe at him.

"But I achieve it because I risk my life. That is what Kakashi told me anyways,"

Sasuke looked at Kakashi wondering how and why he knew about Uchiha secrets while mistrusting the older man even farther.

"You should never have run into a burning house in the first place that is just dumb,"

"I-It mostly m-my fault Sasuke-san, but If it wasn't for Obito I-I'm sure I wouldn't be here and I'm basically indebted to him," Hinata proclaimed not wanting have him take all the blame.

"A Hyūga indebted to a Uchiha? Is best thing I ever heard you said so far…"

"Sasuke just stop being jerk to her!" he wished Itachi would come back and just take him home already. Obito try to convince Hinata that he didn't owe him anything because he told himself when he first met her that he would protect her.

Kakashi couldn't help to be intrigued while listening to the children bicker as he stared out the window pretending to zone them out. It made him reminiscent of the past events and his childhood which was usually smother in harshness of a shinobi life. He began thinking was Obito in love with Hinata? Or was he reading too much into this because they were just kids after all.

Kakashi just hoped this younger generation wasn't as tragic as his for their sake while children's laughter filled the hospital room.
