A/N:Not my favorite chapter, but it isn't terrible.


Sasuke kept his mouth shut as he watched the arguing of the so called people who all believed they knew what was best for Hinata in her current state.

One side, Neji Hyuga. Sasuke just rolled his eyes at this. Neji was arguing that she should return to the clan estate and get proper care by her family. His whole argument was crap in Sasuke's mind. The Hyuga clan was not supportive. And the fact that her own father was not even pleading for his daughter's safe recovery was enough proof of that. Even her younger sister had not bothered to show up.
The other side, Kiba. Apparently Hinata's blatant rejection and refusal to his previous attempt to take her back had not deterred him at all. In fact he was probably more determined.

Stuck in the middle was Sasuke. He made no argument on how Hinata should be left in his care. In his own honesty he believed being around him was probably the worst thing for her considering her confession, but he also knew he was probably a better option then either of these two idiots. So he sat back and watched the two go at each others throats.

"ENOUGH!" The loud cry from the hokage. Her face in a scowl as she looked at the two men that were now the reason for her migraine. "I don't care what either of you think. Hinata doesn't remember anything about either of you. So I already decided Sasuke will be caring for her-And that is final!" Tsunade gave glare to both of them men. Silently waiting for either to challenge her. When they remained silent she made a quick glance to Sasuke, seeing if he had anything to say on the matter. His expression told her 'no', so she looked down at her desk.

Hinata is in a fragile state. She maybe a ninja still, but we can't even be sure that she remembers her training. Right now her safety and care are more important than what anyone of you want. So Kiba, I'm sending you on a mission to the Cloud village. Take this scroll to read the details and take Naruto and Sakura on the mission with you. You need to leave a noon today, so you have to get prepared quickly." Tsunade explained handing him a wrapped scroll.

"Neji, you already have a mission scheduled and you should be leaving now, so I suggest you both leave now."

Tsunade waited as both men left the room. Although they were leaving with slumped shoulders. The woman gave a sigh rubbing her forehead. She needed a drink, but she had one other thing to attend to.

"Uchiha...I suppose you already figured out that all of rookies of your generation have been sent on missions." Tsunade sighed looking up to the man who stood over her desk across from her.

"Hinata isn't the best ninja or even the best healer in this village...Her abilities from her bloodline are great, but I don't see what makes her so important that the Hokage is adversely working to do unnecessary per-cautions to insure her well-being." Sasuke said calmly, in his well know smug nature shining through.

"Hinata's potential is greater than even she realizes. You'd be wise to remember that." Tsunade commented with smugness of her own. "Now, after Kiba leaves you need to take Hinata to his apartment. Seeing her belongs might help her remember some things. Even if it doesn't I do suggest going anyway so she can gave some clothes for herself."

"I'm guessing you didn't factor that I didn't know where that is." Sasuke stated crossing his arms over his chest hoping to have out done the woman for once.

"Well considering how sociable you are that is quite shocking." Tsunade faked her disbelief. "Kakashi will be taking you both there...in fact he's probably already waiting at your apartment." Looking up Tsunade smirked, Sasuke was long gone already. She gave a satisfied sigh before leaning back in her seat.


"So you're Sasuke's old teacher." Hinata asked sitting next to Kakashi on the couch. She had been shocked when he showed up at the door, but he said he was a friend of Sasuke's she willingly let him inside.

"Correct." Kakashi praise smiling to her beneath his mask. He gently reached out and grabbed her hands, holding them within his own. "I must apologize now for Sasuke's terrible attitude. And if he ever hurts you then just come to me."

Hinata's eyes widened in confusion and some shock as she looked at him..."Thank you." She let out the timid reply only to be more shocked when Kakashi released her hands only to pull her into a hug. She didn't fight it though since she didn't want to be rude to the man that had been Sasuke's teacher.

Hinata could hear Kakashi's voice in a small whisper next to her ear. "3...2...1-"

The door slammed open making Hinata jump in surprise, but Kakashi's arms were still firm around her body keeping her close. She glance to the door and felt her cheeks burn with embarassment as Sasuke stood with a glare. She tried to wiggle out of the older man's hold, but he refused to release her.

"Kakashi. Let her go." Sasuke's voice was low and threatening.

This made Hinata wonder if Kakashi had been lying to her about being a friend of his. Though she was too relieved when she was finally released to care. She pulled away from Kakashi till she was almost still on the arm of the couch.

"Home already. Pity, things were just getting interesting." Kakashi sighed.

"You planned that so don't bother. Also stay away from her. The last thing she needs to remember is a perverted teacher like you." Sasuke rolled his eyes slamming the door shut behind him.

"You are exactly right." Kakashi said. "Which is why I brought Hinata a present." Pulling out a tatered orange book he handed the object to Hinata.

She carefully took it in her hands..."Icha Icha Paradise."

The book was snatched from her hands swiftly. She looked at Sasuke now standing over her with a glare on his face gripping the book violently in his fist. "Why...would you give her this?" Sasuke was using every ounce of willpower he had now not to blow up and try to kill his previous teacher.

"So she can remember Jiraiya. He was one of the legendary sanin." Kakashi explained innocently shrugging his shoulders.

"If she's doesn't need to remember a closet pervert like you then I doubt she would need to remember the king of perverts." Sasuke groaned tossing the book to the table. His eyes focused on Kakashi.

"No need to get grumpy. You know why I'm here." Kakashi said giving a small smile or smirk, it was difficult to determine which from beneath the mask.

"You do realize he doesn't leave till noon." Sasuke stated.

"Well that just gives me another hour to talk to Hinata." Kakashi mocked. He was getting amusement from see how Sasuke's face would contront with anger and disgust at the idea. "Isn't that right, Hinata?"

Kakashi and Sasuke both looked to Hinata. Their eyes widened when they saw the female passed out, a small stream of blood coming from her nose, her face pale and the Icha Icha Paradise book within her hands.

Sasuke looked up to Kakashi giving him a glare. Silently telling him that Hinata's current state was his fault.

Kakashi raised his hands in surrender. "I didn't make her read it."

Sasuke only rolled his eyes in response. He turned back to Hinata. Leaning down he lifted her from the couch and took her to the bathroom trying to ignore the stare of Kakashi's eye on his back.
