Hospital

( Hinata's point of view )

"Mrs. Uzumaki, I'm terribly sorry for waking you up at this hour, I'm a nurse from the Uchiha hospital I'm calling to tell you your cousin Neji Hyuga has woken up from his coma" I hear the person say.

That fully wakes me up, I sit up on the bed, "W-What? Neji's awake?" I say not sure I heard right. "Yes, that's correct" the nurse response. I smile as I am overcome with happiness "I will be there as soon as I can," I say then hang up. I get up from the bed and fix my hair, I already have on my shoes and jacket since I didn't bother to take them off earlier. I get my keys and purse and drive to the hospital in a hurry not caring if I get a speed ticket.

When I get there I sign in and go straight to Neji's room. I walk in and see him sitting up on the bed watching tv. I run to him and hug him. I feel him tense surprised by the sudden hug but slowly I feel his hands wrap around me. "I missed you Neji," I say.

I pull away and look at him, he's smiling at me. Then he gives me look and I prepare to get scolded, "What are you doing up? Its 3 in the morning you should have waited till you at least slept more before you came," he says.

Then he touches my face, "look you have dark circles" he says worriedly. "I don't care how I look, as long as your awake and healthy," I say. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to go get you something from the vending machine?" I ask. "No that's okay," he says.

"Are you sure?" I ask. He smiles, "Yes I'm sure," he says. "Hinata just rest, take a nap on the couch," he says and points to the couch on the other side of the room. I reluctantly agree and lay down on the couch. Before I realize I fall asleep.

I am shaken awake, I sit up and rub my eyes and look for the person who woke me from my slumber. I see Itachi smiling at me and handing me a cup of what I assume is coffee.

I move over and make room for him to sit on the couch. I look around the room but I don't see Neji anywhere. I look at Itachi confused, he reads my mind.

"Neji's getting a check-up don't worry he will be back in a couple minutes," he says to me. I take a sip of my coffee and look at my watch I see its 6 in the morning. I stand up, I forgot all about work.

"Relax I don't think you should go to work today" I hear Itachi say I look at him. "Besides what are you going to do? Sasuke isn't there," he says.

I sit back down on the couch, "Do you think Sasuke's going to be okay?" I whisper he looks at me and smiles. "You must really care for my brother," he says.

I blush in embarrassment and look down, "H-He's my boss that's why..." I say in a hurry. Itachi just laughs, I look at him "And you must really care for my sister that's why you're here isn't it" I say and it's his turn to be embarrassed.

The door burst open, in comes a nurse. "Doctor Uchiha, you have to come it's your father!" she yells in a hurry. We both stand up, "What about him?" he says and begins to follow the nurse to his father's room. "He's locked the door we hear screaming from inside we think his wife is in there with him," she says in a hurry.

I follow behind him, we stop in front of his father's door, from inside we hear Tsunade screaming. Itachi yells at the nurse to go get the room key. He begins to kick down the door and after the third try, he successfully breaks the door open.

Itachi runs in, I stand by the door. I see his father in the corner standing over Tsunade. Itachi pushes his father away from Tsunade. I go inside and help Tsunade up and take her out of the room the nurse leads us to another room and they start cleaning Tsunade's wounds. She has a broken nose and multiple bruises all over her body. The nurse gives her painkillers and leaves the room.

"Tsunade..." I start not sure what to say to make her feel better. What can I say to a woman whose husband just finds enjoyment in making her bleed? She looks at me with her left eye, her right eye swollen shut. "Do you still think you deserve this pain?" I whisper. She turns away from me and lays down her head on my lap.

I begin to pet her hair, "I don't want to feel this pain anymore Hinata..." she says so low I almost don't hear her. "You'll feel better soon..." I say gently and continue to pet her hair.

Soon she falls asleep, I gently move away from her and lay her head on a pillow and leave the room. I go back to Neji's room and see he's back, I don't tell him about what just happen instead I just lay in bed next to him. Comfortable just being in his presence.

About an hour later more of the family start to show up. I walk out to get myself a coffee as I'm walking back I see Itachi, he walks up to me. "There you are I need you to do me a favor," he says to me. "Sure, what is it?" I ask. "I need you to go pick up Sasuke from the police station, my father has dropped the charges," he says.

"Okay," I say, "Thanks," he says then walks away. I go back to Neji's room and tell them I'm leaving and get my keys and purse. I drive to the police station. When I get there I see him outside on a bench nodding off I see how tired he looks he must not have slept.

I run up to him and hug him happy to see he's not hurt. I must have hugged him too hard, "H-Hinata... can't... breath" I hear him say. I pull away from him and blush embarrassed, "Sorry" I say. He smiles, "I thought I called my good for nothing brother to pick me up. Did he conn you into doing it instead?" he says, I shake my head.

We get in the car and I drive him home and tell him what happened at the hospitals between his father and Tsunade. He stayed quiet the entire time not interrupting me. "Sasuke?" I say worried since he hasn't said anything.

"Hm"

"What do you think about the situation?" I ask.

He looks down, "I think he hurt her because he found out she pressed charges against me..." he says. It would make sense if that's true.

After that, we stay quiet for the rest of the ride home. After I drop him off, I drive home and take a much-needed shower then I flop onto my bed and fall asleep.
