Nejis POV:
-flashback-
"He's the only one standing, get him" someone yelled and I couldn't turn in time. They knew how my bloodline worked and then it hit. The surging pain in my chest. It felt like fire. Something painful. My bloodline shut off and I looked down at my chest. A giant mutated hand was pulling out and the warmth of my blood was gushing now.
I couldn't fight anymore and this pain I was feeling was something I had never felt before. I fell and hard. I was lying on my stomach and I looked around me. Everything felt like it was going in slow motion and I could see Itachi laying on his back. He was taken out first. They were yelling about his eyes and he was more dangerous.
Little did they know he only had one eye but they were scared.
"Help me" I tried to cough out but the blood from my wound was rising into my throat a bit, no one would hear me.
My vision started turning black, was this it? Was this how I die?
"You'll meet your maker soon. Our Queen will rise again" one of the villagers said and my vision was near gone.
-end of flashback-
I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't, they felt tight. My chest was on fire and my body felt like it was hit by a train.
I needed to get to safety before they figured out I was awake. I needed to save myself.
I used all my strength to remove myself from where I was. I moved and it hurt.
I tried to open my eyes again but I managed to open them a little bit, the sunlight was strong and it didn't make matters better.
Thud. I hit the ground again, damn it. They were going to know I was awake if I kept on making noise.
"Byakugan" I whispered and my bloodline activated and the sharp pain rain through my mind. It felt like someone was stabbing me.
My vision was still distorted but I could see a staircase and I was still on the floor. I pushed myself off the floor with whatever strength I had and my legs were numb.
They're not taking me down like this, I was a fighter and if I had to escape this house. I would.
I stumbled into the hallway and grabbed onto something, a railing I think. Great, at least I have a guide now.
I had finally got outside, that much I knew from the temperature change. My vision was blurring out again, black spots were taking over. I tried to see around me but it didn't matter anymore. I could hear noises coming from down the street. My bloodline was deactivated and I was officially back to darkness since my eyes wouldn't open at all. I could feel a little warmth on my cheeks. I'm sure it was a little blood from completely overuse of my eyes.
I just hoped these noises were friendly and not the enemy. A gamble I was willing to take. At least if they were friendly I could eventually get home.
My body slightly fell into the side of the structure and I used my hands to guide myself the rest of the way. I felt around everywhere and eventually found what I thought was a doorknob.
I opened the doorknob and I fell inside. The door slammed open made a loud crash. Whomever is in this house definitely knows I'm here now.
"What the hell are you doing here?" A familiar voice asked but I could trust anything since I couldn't see.
"Stay back" I tried to say, my voice cracked. I was on the floor and I had my arms in front of my face.
I could hear more movement, how many other people were here.
"Neji, it's me. Kakashi. You're safe" he said, kakashi? Was I already home or was it a lie?
"I can't trust you" I coughed off.
"Nii-san" a soft female voice said. Was that Hinata? Now I know it was a lie. She couldn't be home, she was taken. These people were deceiving. Trying to call me brother, pretending to be someone they weren't.
I started throwing my hands because I could feel these people coming closer to me. I hit someone and I wasn't sure who.
"Neji, stop. You're home and safe" a deep voice boomed and I knew I was home. There wasn't anyway my uncle would leave the village. I was really safe. That really was Hinata and Kakashi then. She was safe, she was found.
"Hinata.." my voice cracked, I need my cousin before anyone. It took a second before I could feel small arms around my neck. She was hugging me, it hurt but it was worth it.
"You're awake" she whispered and I felt warmth on my neck. Was she crying?
"Can you open your eyes?" Another female voice asked. Why was everything so foggy in my mind?
"No, I nearly walked here blind and why can't I remember anything?" I asked and I heard movement.
"It's me, Shizune. I'm going to give you some healing to your eyes so you can at least open them" she said softly and I nodded my head. Hinata had removed herself from me but she held onto my side.
I felt another set of hands touch my face where my eyes were and I felt cooling. Medical jutsu was so weird to me but I appreciated it.
I could feel the pain around my eyes diminishing and my headache was a small throb now.
"Try to open your eyes now," she said, removing her hands from my face and that's what I did.
They finally opened, the sunlight was still overpowering but it only took a second to get used to. I could see everyone's legs at first and the first face I saw was Hinatas. I smiled, it was nice to see.
Then I looked around, I was surrounded. Kakashi, Itachi, Shizune, Yugao, My uncle, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hanabi and Tenten were all looking at me. What a weird bunch to wake up to. Why was everyone here?
I continued to look and looked down at my body. I could see all the marks on my body, my arms were covered and I noticed my chest.
I was bandaged up and the warmth and feeling of someone's hand was still fresh in my mind. My breathing hitched a bit and I touched my chest and it was sore.
"You're safe, don't touch it" Hinata said and grabbed my hands. I escaped death but I knew it was going to haunt me for a long time. I wanted to go back to that village and give them what they deserve.
"Let's get you back home," she said, helping me off the ground. I leaned on her and I noticed her stomach, she had grown a bit from the pregnancy.
"How long was I out for?" I asked out loud, waiting for someone to answer me.
"Nearly three weeks" Kakashi said and moved a little closer to me. Three weeks? Holy shit.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"I thought I died" I said honestly.
"You almost did but you're a Hyuga, we don't quit" Hanabi said and ran her way through everyone. She crashed into my chest and gave me a bone crushing hug. I almost went to instant tears from the pain but it was worth it. I hugged her with my free arm.
"Easy, hes injured" Hinata tried to reprimand her.
"Its okay" I said, I lied because of the pain but I wasn't going to make her feel bad.
"You two get him back home and situated. We have to move all this stuff" Kakashi said and everyone turned their backs to go back into whatever room they had come from.
"What did I barge in on?" I asked and they started walking with me. I looked around, I was in the district and I could see my house. We really weren't far from home.
"They threw me a surprise babyshower" Hinata answered my question.
"I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm sorry" I said, go figure today would be the day I wake up. But it did make sense now on why a majority of people in the room were female.
"Don't apologize. You're the best gift I got today" she said and I looked at her. She was smiling a bit.
We didn't say much for the rest of the walk but we made it home and we went straight for the living room. They placed me on the couch and took their own seats.
"Are you going to be okay? You seemed really scared when you entered the house" Hanabi asked me and I looked at her.
"I'll be fine eventually. Can you get me some water?" I asked her. My throat felt dry, like I had eaten an entire bag of sand. She nodded her head and got up from her seat.
"Who saved you?" I asked Hinata, I wanted to know everything that had happened since I was out.
"I saved myself. I fought both of my kidnappers. I ended up back in the mist village" she answered and it was a short answer.
"How did you end up escaping two people while pregnant?" I asked her, that I was curious about. Everything was interesting to me right now. I felt like I was missing a lot in the three week time frame.
"We're Hyugas, we're fighters," she said and giggling a bit.
"Did you just call yourself a Hyuga?" I asked her, my mind spun for a second and she nodded her head. It made me smirk a bit. It had been almost five years since she didn't violently object to that last name.
Hanabi came back into the living room with water for me and I took it.
"Drink that slowly" Hinata said to me and I nodded my head. I wanted to giant chug the entire glass but I knew I would end up getting sick.
The water felt amazing going down, like it was repairing every small crack from being dry. I finished it and held onto the glass.
"Do you want more?" She asked and shook my head no. I was content.
"Was I really out for three weeks?" I asked them and they nodded their heads.
"When those people attacked you and Itachi, they ended up skimming your heart in the process. Your body went into shock from it and you went unconscious. We didn't think you were going to wake up" Hinata filled me in.
"We've all remained hopeful though and here you are" she finished saying, smiling too.
"I'm glad I'm awake. Once I'm healed, I'm going to get stronger and take the rest of those people out" I said, my voice left no room for jokes. They were going to pay, my lust for revenge was real.
"You can't fight them by yourself, don't be an idiot" Hanabi hissed at me.
"I never said I was going to. I will do what I must" I shot back at her.
"Guys, he's been awake for an hour. Stop bickering" Hinata raised her voice and he stopped.
The front door opened and relieved some of the tension.
We waited for everyone to come in and everyone did. Every single one of them.
"It's nice to see you awake again" Tenten said, smiling at me. My heart skipped a little bit when she smiled and I smiled back at her.
"How are you feeling now?" Shizune asked, taking a seat next to me on the couch.
"The more I'm awake the better I feel. Except my heart feels heavy" I answered honestly.
"Well talk about this when it's more private. I'm glad you're feeling better though" Shizune gave me a small smile but I didn't like the fact she said we'll talk about this later. I could see it in her eyes, something was wrong.
"Hanabi, it's time to go home" Hiashi said and Hanabi got out of her seat. Then it dawned on me, my uncle was in my house. What the hell happened that transpired him to become.. human.
"Well be by tomorrow morning" Hiashi said and then both of them left. Man, I had so many questions.
"You need your rest Neji, I'll be back soon" Tenten said softly and I nodded my head toward her. I knew she meant well but I did just technically rest for three weeks. I was enjoying seeing everyone for once.
"Well walk you home" Sasuke spoke, nodding his head towards Naruto and Sakura. The four of them left just as soon as they got here. The group of people was growing smaller.
Only Itachi, Yugao, Hinata and Kakashi remained but the tension quickly built back up. It was making me uncomfortable.
"Can we discuss my medical issues now?" I asked Shizune, hoping she would say yes. The silence was killing me.
"I say this nicely but Itachi and Yugao need to leave. I need Hinata's eyes and Kakashi is Hokage, he can be told everything" Shizune said, looking at everyone. Itachi nodded his head and started leaving. Yugao was glaring daggers at Hinata.
"Itachi, can you walk Yugao home?" Kakashi asked him. Itachi nearly choked. Well. That's weird.
"She'll be fine on her own"
"Yes, please walk me home"
They spoke at the same time. I nearly didn't understand them.
"Fine" Itachi spoke again before anyone could say different and they left the room. Leaving the three of us alone.
"That seemed uncomfortable" I said out loud to myself.
"Hn.." Kakashi said and looked at the doorway they had just left.
Once the door was shut, they all looked at me again.
"Now that you're up, were going to remove your bandages and check everything out. Hinata check his chakra and heart out" Shizune said, getting right into it. I watched the veins in Hinata's face go and she became concentrated.
It didn't take long for her to remove the bandages and I couldn't help but look at my chest. I could see the scar where the hand was, it felt like it was still there. I knew I was safe but it was giving me anxiety to see it with my regular eyes.
Shizune hands lit up and she placed them over the dark red scars. They weren't open anymore but they were still delicate.
"Do you remember what happened? Itachi hasn't really talked about it" Kakashi asked me. His eyes were scanning my body.
"They were scared of his sharingan so they attacked him first. I tried my best to fight them but I couldn't. We thought they were normal people but then these white things started flying towards us" I said, trying to remember it in order.
"White things?" Kakashi asked.
"They were white spikes. They looked like bones. They were hard and not forgiving" I said.
"How many of then attacked you guys?" He asked me, his face was growing more serious.
"Eight. Two of them used the white spike jutsu, they reminded me of Kimimaro. The last six were cursed, like Orochimaru had created them. We didn't know until it was too lateâ" I said and remembered the fight we put up.
"Stop talking, your heart is racing. I need it calm" Hinata hissed at me and I listened. It was racing?
"Your wounds are looking great. No need for bandages anymore but be careful because they're going to be sore" Shizune said and the green light of her hands faded. I looked down, I had minor scars all over my arms from defending myself but they were faded. However, I knew the scar on my chest was going to be a reminder to me. A reminder I survived near death.
"Hinata, is it looking how I think it is?" Shizune asked her and Hinata's face went back to normal. Her regular eyes were back and she nodded her head.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked them. Worry had come washing over me now.
"Because your heart was damaged in the process of the attack. It left you with an irregular heartbeat. It could be detrimental to your career as a shinobi" Shizune said lightly. Did she just say I couldnt be a ninja anymore?
"Now, I'm not saying to take his shinobi title away but send him on a mission with someone in case something happens. He could faint in the middle of a battle" Shizune said, looking at Kakashi while she talked. He sighed after she finished speaking.
"That could be dangerous for you and your teammates" he told me and I nodded my head. I understand that part but what if I didn't faint? Then what? All these years of training would be useless.
"Let me think about it. But now, for the moment. You can keep your anbu captain title and when Shizune clears you to train again, I'll decide then" he said seriously but I knew what that meant. At the end of all of this, if I couldn't beat Kakashi in a fight. I would no longer be a ninja.
"I won't give up this easily" I deadpanned and he knew I wasn't kidding. They all knew. I wouldn't just let something so small get in my way. I worked way too hard for it to just be taken.
"I'll be by your side the entire time" Hinata said and took my hand in hers. I nodded my head towards her.
"Now that this is all said and done. I recommend a long and warm shower. It will open up some muscles for you" Shizune said, patting my shoulder and then removed herself from the couch.
"Let me help you" Hinata said and offered her hand to me. I took it and stumbled forward a bit. My legs were still jello but I caught myself.
"I have a hard road ahead of me" I said and we started moving towards the staircase.
"I'll go get you some food while you're showering" Kakashi said as we were leaving the living room.
"That's appreciated" I said so he could hear me.
Kakashi and Shizune had left, leaving Hinata and I alone.
"I'll sit in the bathroom with you incase you need help" she said to me as she opened the bathroom door.
"That's a little weird" I told her.
"Not if I sit in the corner. You won't be able to see me and I can't see you. It's only for safety" she brushed off my comment like nothing and turned the water on for me. The bathroom was big so she went to the corner and I could no longer see her.
I stripped my clothes off slowly while I waited for the water to warm up.
"Hinata, something's been bothering me," I said to her as I opened the door to the shower. I was glad it was designed the way it was. There was a ledge in here that I could sit on and just let the water hit me.
"Which would be?" She questioned me.
"Why did the tension feel so thick before Itachi and Yugao left?" I asked her, closing the door behind me. The water felt good on my back.
"Don't worry about. You just woke up" she told me. Don't worry about it? I wanted to know or I wouldn't have asked. Talking about anything other than the condition of my body and the ambush were welcomed.
"Aw, c'mon. I want to be distracted" I told her and that was the truth.
"If you insist," she told me and sighing out loud.
Itachi's POV:
"I'm so glad Neji is awake" Yugao said as we reached her front porch. I never realized how far away her house was from everything. She was nearly by herself out here. I guess being part of the anbu had its perks.
"I am too, it was a pleasant addition to the day" I said to her. It was getting nearly dark by the time we got here today flew by quickly.
"Will you come in? Let me apologize for earlier" she asked nicely.
"Sure" I said skeptically. How does one apologize for that?
She opened her front door and it was dark.
"I'm glad you ended up coming today, by the way" I said and shut the door behind me. I really did, it meant she was at least trying.
Then I was bumped into the wall again, just like this morning.
"I came to see you, don't be fooled," she whispered to me and I could feel her breath on my lips. The same feeling I had earlier of wanting to actually do things with her had returned. It frightened me in an exciting way.
"Doing this is only going to add to your emotional whirlpool" I whispered back to her.
"They need to learn that when you play with fire, people get burned," she muttered to me and her lips met mine.
Her hands moved quickly, going back to how they were earlier. All thoughts of mine went void, I wanted it.
I grabbed her face in my hands to deepen the kiss and I pushed myself away from the wall.
"I knew you liked it," she whispered and bit my lip seductively and started guided me somewhere. It lit a fire in my chest, this woman had some sort of seductive power and fighting it was pointless.
She led us down a hallway and into a room. Our lips remet and her arms were around my neck. I knew I shouldn't lift her but I couldn't help it. She jumped up, her legs were wrapped around my waist now. The adrenaline inside of me was fighting off the burning of my chest.
I walked forward slowly, looking for her bed. Which didn't take long to find. I fell forward a bit so she was underneath me.
"You know were only adding to the fire, right?" I asked her as I moved my kisses down her jaw and neck, turning them into small bites. Her hand slid down my body and stopped right above my pants.
"They need a taste of their own medicine" she hissed and pulled me closer to her. She eventually flipped us around and was straddling me now.
I wanted to argue with her, she was wrong. They didn't need a taste of anything. It wasn't right what we were doing but I couldn't stop the other part of me. The part of me that absolutely wanted this.
I could feel her shifting a bit on top of me and then I heard a small thump on the floor. I moved my hands a bit and she had taken all top articles of clothing off.
She leaned forward and her lips met mine once again. I couldn't help but to feel her everywhere I could.
She pulled me upwards and took my shirt off, throwing it somewhere behind her.
She pushed me back down, trailing down my body with her lips as she went. It was exciting for me and I was enjoying it. She reached the hem of my pants and started moving them off of my hips.
"You feel so good" I moaned out loud to her as her mouth and hands were at work.
She stopped and started moving back up my body. I wanted to give the pleasure back to her.
I flipped us both over, she was laying on her back now.
"You don't have to," she said, grabbing a hand full of my hair gently. She pulled me closer and our tongues started dancing again.
I was losing it, I knew once this happened. There wasn't taking it back. Then she bit my lip again and my sense of right and wrong left.
I entered her and it was exactly what I wanted.
Neji's POV:
Hinata had filled me on everything and anything that happened in the past three weeks. I didn't know what to say. I knew her and Kakashi had made a mistake in his office that one time but I wasn't prepared for her to tell me that.
"I understand why everything is weird now" I admitted and tied a towel around my waste. My shower had lasted about thirty minutes but it was worth it. My muscles were finally not aching and I had some energy back in my legs.
She didn't say anything but we walked out of the bathroom. I needed new clothes and I was anticipating eating.
Getting dressed didn't take nearly as long as removing them did. I was happy about that.
"You didn't have to make my bed" I said to Hinata as I left my closet.
"Its okay, really" she said giving me a smile. I could tell she was holding back tears. I felt bad but she brought it upon herself. Kakashi did too
"Let's go see what Kakashi got for us," I said, changing the subject. She gave me a small smile and headed towards the kitchen.
"I'm eating with you guys, I'm hungry" he said as we entered the doorway.
We all made our plates and sat at the table.
"So when do we get to find out what the sex of the babies are?" I asked, hoping the mood would shift.
"I'm sure if I asked Shizune we could find out tomorrow when she comes for our appointment," she answered.
"Do you want to know? I should of asked that first" I said, backtracking a little bit.
"I don't mind. It's up to Hinata" Kakashi said, glancing at her. I could see it now. He looked at her like he did when they were dating. A long time ago now.
"I only want to know so we can pick out names" she said with a small smile.
Dinner went by quickly and Kakashi went home. Hinata and I went into the backyard, to the garden.
"Will you meditate with me?" I asked her as I sat on the porch. It was dark out now but between the moonlight and small garden lights, it was peaceful.
"That sounds great, I haven't done that in awhile" she spoke and sat directly across from me.
We used to do this all the time, we meditated in an old way that our ancestors used to. True meditation is what we called it.
We held each other's hands and my eyes closed. It only took a few moments but soon her and I were sitting on top of a tail chi symbol, surround in black.
It was weird to explain to someone who wasn't a Hyuga but the place we were in was truly peaceful.
My light blue chakra created a film around my body. Hinata's light purple chakra formed around hers. To everyone on the outside, our eyes were closed but in her we could see each other. Our chakra linked together more every time we did this. It was helpful when we were looking for her. I could feel her.
"Hinata, do you see what I see?" I asked and looked at her stomach. The babies were throwing off their own chakra colors, one is silver and the other was dark purple.
"I'll have to find ask father about this, I don't remember the colors" she said and was smiling at the babies.
We remained silent for the rest of our time here. I was focused on making sure my chakra was returning to normal. I needed it.
Kakashi's POV:
Today was going to be a good day too. Yesterday was the best day I had had in awhile. The baby shower went by smoothly, I apologized to Itachi, Neji woke up, Kabuto had also woken up and we were going to find out the sexes of the babies too.
Now I just needed to talk to Yugao, we hadn't talked in since she left my house the other day. It had only been two days since then but still.
A knock on my front door had distracted me but I needed to answer it. I headed downstairs and opened the door.
"H-hi" I said awkwardly, I guess Yugao came to me instead. I felt the guilt rage threw my body once more. She stepped inside and I closed the door behind her.
"I was just coming to talk to you" I said softly. She turned around and I leaned against the wall. We were all of three feet from each other.
I was trying to read her but it wasn't working.
"I'm ready to take my post back" she said with no emotion attached.
"Are you sure?" I wasn't expecting that at all.
"Yes. Sasuke needs to be here with you" she said.
"What made you want it back?" I asked her curious as to the sudden change. I knew she didn't like Hinata right now.
"A friend of mine really helped me figure things out last night" she said and a slight hue of pink brushed her cheeks. I knew that shade of pink, it was the same one that appeared after we did things.
I felt a small surge of anger go threw me but I couldn't even act on it.
"Who?" Was all I asked. I had no right to ask her questions like this but I wanted to know. I knew what I did to her was low but I didn't think she was going to sleep with someone else.
"Hokage sama" an anbu said from the side of me. I almost jumped. They were getting good at being discreet.
"Kabuto has woken up" they said and left the room. Wonderful timing.
"I need you to get back to your post when we walk by, I need Sasuke" I told her and she nodded her head.
"To answer your question. I'm not giving you a name but know it'll hit close to home if you find out. When you play with fire, you get burned" she said casually like hearing her tell me this didn't hurt.
"Did you do this out of spite?" I asked her.
"I did. I need you to know how much it hurts when someone you love sleeps with someone else. It doesn't feel good, does it?" She hissed at me and I could see her eyes become watery.
"I know what it's like and I wish I could take it back. I didn't mean to hurt you" I said honestly. I had been through this before when Hinata couldn't choose between Itachi and I. I could feel myself unraveling from all of this.
She took my face in her hands and looked me in the eyes.
"I need you to reflect on everything. We can work on things if you want but I need to know you want me and only me" she said and my brain stopped racing. My heart slowed down. I nodded my head and she let me go.
"We need to get going" I said softly and we left the house. I had a lot of thinking to do.
Sasuke and I were nearly inside the interrogation room and my adrenaline was going a bit. Just knowing Kabuto was so close.
We entered the door and traveled to the room he was being kept in and I opened the door. The few anbu members and Ibiki greeted me and Kabuto and I locked eyes. Seeing him look so much like Orochimaru nearly made me shiver. It was disgusting.
"Long time no see Sasuke-kun, Kakashi" he greeted us as well and I knew Sasuke's anger would eventually take over. We needed to be quick here today.
"What do you know about Shikotsumyaku?" I asked him, going straight to the point.
"Always so serious. Hmph" he said back but I waited for him to speak again.
"Well, since I can't leave. What's the point in keeping secrets? It's a wonderful jutsu, a nearly perfect one at that. Why?" He asked me, did he think he could ask questions so freely?
"What do you know of the Otsutsuki clan?" I asked him.
"Oh, I see where you're going with this. What's the point of trapping her in another realm if you just wanted to bring her back?" He asked me, I couldn't even be mad that was intelligent.
"Were not bringing that demon back" Sasuke spat, his attitude was coming about.
"Well, it sounds like it" Kabuto rebutted quickly.
"How would one bring her back anyways?" I asked him and he smiled.
"There are currently four living people who share the same bloodline of Kaguya. Once you have all of us together, you pour our blood on a scroll and she'll come forward" he said casually like killing himself and four other people wasn't something serious.
"You will remain in this village under protection. Nobody is dying. We don't need another war on our hands" I informed him. I would be damned if Hinata's kidnappers came in here and grabbed the both of them.
"You're not telling us something" Sasuke intervened and Kabuto smiled.
"Your brother's girlfriend is the most important part of the ritual. Someone with the byakugan needs to die in order for Kaguya to rise again. You know, bloodline things" Kabuto said and he smirked while he talked. Sasuke didn't hesitate to punch him in the face either.
"We're leaving" I snapped.
I really wanted to shake Hinata for being stupid now. She didn't know how serious this just became. Her protection needed to be on lockdown this time.
I left the room and Sasuke followed me.
"Have a great day!" Kabuto yelled after us and the door to his room was slammed shut.
"This is getting really serious. We need to make a plan to eliminate the rest of that clan" I grumbled out.
"Neji gave me small details about the attackers, two of which have the same jutsu in them as Hinata. This needs to end" I said and we quickly made our way back out onto the street. I was power walking and I didnt mean to be.
"Hey, calm down" Sasuke said, trying to stop me from walking.
"You're in public. You're the Hokage, don't lose your temper" he reminded me and I took a few deep breaths.
"You're right, even though you lost your temper inside" I said to him and we made our way back to the district. The appointment was in a little bit. Between talking with Yugao and Kabuto an hour had passed.
We approached the house and Yugao was sitting on top of the house. We made eye contact before I walked into the house.
"Finally. You're here. We can start" Hinata immediately said once we entered the kitchen. Shizune and her got up from the kitchen table. Hiashi and Hanabi had brought breakfast.
"Good morning all" I greeted everyone, except Itachi wasn't at the table. He was normally in here when there was food.
"Let's go" Hinata said impatiently, she grabbed my wrist as she walked by. She was dragging me as we went upstairs. She was more excited about this than she was yesterday.
â.
Twenty minutes had passed during her checkup, but it felt like forever.
"Alright, are you guys ready to know what these babies are?" Shizune asked and we both nodded our heads.
Hinata was laying on her bed and I was leaning against the wall next to it. I didn't want to invade Itachi's personal space anymore than I had by sitting on his bed. It was a stupid thought but it made me feel somewhat better about the entire situation.
"Alright, baby number one.. it's a girl" Shizune said and I felt my heart warm. I was having a daughter.
"And baby number two.. is.. a boy" she said and removed her hands from Hinata's stomach. I was overgrown with joy and I couldn't stop smiling. We were having one of each.
"Are you done yet?!" Hanabi shouted up the staircase. I laughed out loud.
"Hanabi!" Neji yelled at her.
"She's so impatient" Hinata said giggling.
"Let's go let everyone know" I said to Hinata and offered her my hand to help her up. She fixed her shirt and stood up. She gave me a hug and I returned the favor.
"Thank you for checking that" I said to Shizune and she nodded her head and smiled a bit
We all left the room and headed back towards the kitchen to join everyone.
"So what are they?" Hanabi asked first as we entered the kitchen. Hinata started laughing again.
"One boy and one girl" she answered her sister and Hanabi ran to her and hugged her. They were squeaking a bit and it was heartwarming.
Everyone seemed to be happy with the news, it was a breath of fresh air.
"I need to go tell someone else" Hinata said, looking at me.
"I'll come with you" Neji said before I could ask if someone could join her. I was grateful for that. I didn't want to ruin the moment with what Kabuto told Sasuke and I.
Every single Hyuga that was in the house had left, leaving Sasuke and I.
"Do you know where my brother is?" Sasuke asked me.
"I'm right here" Itachi said as he came into the kitchen. He looked overly tired.
"How come you weren't eating breakfast?" He asked him.
"I had a really long night, I was napping on the couch," he said and scratched the back of his head. He walked by us to go for the cupboard.
"Well, Kabuto has informed us of something ill. We need to keep close quarters on Hinata" Sasuke said, filling his brother in.
"Were already doing that," he said and filled his glass with water. He had moved his hair off the right side of him and revealed a dark purple mark on his neck. It looked like a love bite and then it all clicked. Itachi and Yugao slept together. I needed to keep my composure or Sasuke was going to witness the murder of his sibling.
"No. Its serious. Hinata is the key to bringing Kaguya back" he said and Itachi's eyes grew wide.
"Shit.. where is she now?" He asked.
"She's with Neji, she said she needed to tell someone else about the genders of the babies" Sasuke said and I watched Itachi's face drop a little.
"She went to tell Kisame.." he said softly.
I needed to leave this kitchen before I blew my cover.
"I'll go over there and let them know what we know" Sasuke said and I stopped him by putting my hand on his shoulder so he couldn't move.
"No. I'll do it and Itachi one more thing. When you play with fire, you get burned" I hissed at him and I watched his eyes grow big. He knew I knew now.
