When they got back to the hospital Sakura was still a little reluctant about facing Sasuke and the rest of them again. She didn't know what to tell everyone. When she saw Tsunade round the corner however, she decided to enter.

"SAKURA" Tsunade called her but when she turned to face Tsunade she gave her a 'I already know' face. Tsunade wasn't shocked about this though, between Naruto's big mouth and Sakura's curiosity she was bound to find out one way or another. What DID shock Tsunade was the fact that she was holding Lee's hand.

When Sakura saw Tsunade's face she looked down and realized this, she quickly took her hand back and blushed. But when she grasped that concept as well she made a 'how can I be falling for Lee' face. This made Tsunade simply laughed at the strange sight and the three of them entered Sasuke's room.

Under Tsunade's arm were the test results. As the three walked in the saw Naruto, Hinata, and Hanabi in a line across the back of Sasuke's bed. Poor Hinata was crunch between her boyfriend and sister who both were more concerned about Sasuke then this fact. She was trying to help mutually but, alas, had failed her attempt. Hanabi's hand was in Sasuke's who still sat upright but now was drinking some water with his other hand.

Naruto stood up and quickly asked Tsunade "How is Sasuke?" then looked over toward Lee and Sakura. This made him a little curious 'why did Lee tag along with her and why had she decided to even bother to come back with here.' Naruto thought. Sakura just smiled at him though. She knew what he was thinking and how easily his mind would wonder when Tsunade opened her mouth.

"Sasuke is emotionally scarred. For the majority of his life his emotions have been fixed on his brother. When he was little he looked up to his brother. After Itachi killed his entire clan, Sasuke lived only to seek revenge on him. After he did, he felt he had nothing else to live for. Tobi found him in his weak state and told him to help rebuild their clan. After Sasuke learned he wasn't the only Uchiha left my guess is he wasn't so confused. Tobi must have just pushed him so he wouldn't think. Then he drug Hanabi into this mess to help them in their quest restoring the clan. After Tobi left he felt like all was lost. He had no emotion left. This caused his emotional pain to affect his physical being. Now, The only person who can help Sasuke is Sasuke. If he doesn't care about something soon, his condition is only going to continue to get worse. The way its going now he won't be alive for another year." Tsunade drug Naruto and Sakura in the hall to tell them this. Both felt the painful blow. They had not impacted his life enough when they were a team. But they felt even worse for Hanabi. She was his wife and he would just die without giving her one thought. His children obviously didn't matter to him either. To have absolutely no emotions whatsoever, they couldn't possibly imagine it. However, they knew Sasuke wasn't like them. They've felt he never really cared about anything except his brother's death.

"Tsunade, how are you going to tell Hanabi that?" Sakura asked with deep concern in her voice. She couldn't possibly imagine being in that situation. Being in this situation at all was rough enough.

"Naruto, tell Hinata what is going on. I think it is best that Hanabi finds out from her. Tell Hinata that if she has any questions to come straight to me, no one else. Don't even answer any of her questions Naruto, Understood?"

Naruto nodded and went back in the room. Sakura however couldn't go back in. She asked Tsunade to tell Lee she was going back on duty.

"Sakura, don't push yourself to hard. And take breaks if you need them."

She nodded and ran off down the hall. She wanted to get as far away from Sasuke's room as soon as humanly possible.

Back in the room, Naruto sat quietly next to Hinata. He didn't know exactly how to tell her. She knew that Sasuke hadn't loved Hanabi, but this was beyond that. Sasuke had no emotion for anyone. Hate or love he had neither. To fully contemplate this was impossibly. So how do you explain it to the one you love who you know has to tell someone she loves that her husband is dying because he can't feel love. This thought made Naruto head spin. Hinata looked over to see this odd sight so she giggled. He shook his head and smiled at her. He immediately looked down to the ground while rubbing his head after realizing this. He felt bad as he caught a glimpse of the back of Hanabi's head.

Tsunade motioned for Lee to go into the hall. They both left the room and neither returned.

Hanabi sat holding her husband's hand while they talked. The last few hours he had been awake they did nothing but talk. How can you not feel anything for someone you spent several months with? How could you not look forward to your children? Why did he not love Hanabi when they could spend all day talking about absolutely nothing? He had only been Hinata's guy for a week and even though the world around them crumble the ground they stood on wasn't even shaking. Then how… how was this even possible? Did he just keep up appearances for her? Why go through the trouble though?

"Naruto, wake up" Hinata whispered in his ear. He looked over at her and kissed her nose. He hoped she knew how much he cared for her. Maybe it was the time thing, maybe Hanabi and Sasuke had been together too long. He never wanted to end up like them. "Naruto, are you ok? You keep starring at that plant. Is it that interesting?" Hinata joked.

"I'm sorry Hinata, I've got a lot on my mind right now. Come on lets leave these two alone while he is still awake." They took each other's hand and walked out the door. They continued down the hall to the main exit where the waiting area was. He took Hinata to the back of the room and sat her down on one of the couches. Naruto took her hands in her lap, sighed and then started explaining all that was happening. It didn't sound right coming from him though. It made it even more real when he told Hinata.

Several minutes into the subject Naruto saw Hinata couldn't handle this. She would loose it if she had to tell Hanabi. Naruto gently kissed her, which made her start to cry.

"Hinata what's wrong?" She leaned her head against his chest. He wrapped his arm around her and she cried for what seemed an eternity. She felt so much pain for her sister but facing her, telling her he was just going to die with what he thought was nothing, how do you tell someone that? Naruto kissed the top of her head and lightly guided her to a lying position. She cried till she fell asleep. He just watched her sleep. It was hard enough to tell her. He couldn't imagine telling Hanabi. Hinata was glad that she had a great support system around her, but this caused her even more anguish knowing Hanabi had no one to run to in times of need. "I'll be there for you." She whispered her sleep. Naruto gently laid her head on the couch and got up so she wouldn't be so smooched. He took the other couch in the room. He wasn't tired but merely watching Hinata sleep made him the happiest her ever was. He had done it many time before but always felt the same about it. "I wish I would have known sooner. Thanks for always being there for me Hinata." He smiled at her, knowing she couldn't see him made him a little depressed but in the end he knew he wanted to always be there for her too. He walked over to where her couch, kissed her cheek, and sat on the floor beside her. His arm on the edge of the couch, his hand dangled off, and he fell asleep.

The next morning Sakura found the two in this state and laughed. 'looks exact opposite of Sasuke's room' she thought. Sakura shook Hinata awake to see this funny site. They giggled and Hinata bent down to kiss him. He woke up startled, which caused the girls to giggle more. Naruto didn't look to amused however. He started to tickle Hinata. He got on the couch and sat over her. He bent down and gave her a kiss.

"You two are so cute," Sakura interrupted. Naruto rearranged himself beside Hinata and put his arm around her shoulder. She placed her head against his and they both smiled at her.

"Well, I saw you guys back here last night talking," this made their faces become serious, "and didn't see you leave so I thought I'd bring you guys some breakfast. Its just hospital food so don't get to work up though" She placed the food on a table near the couch and headed back to work. Naruto got up, grabbed the food on the table, and brought it over to Hinata. He opened it, it was bacon and pancakes. Four of each, but none of it looked very edible. He handed her the best looking piece of bacon. She nibbled on it as he poured some syrup on the pancakes. He made she was stuffed before he finished the rest of the food. She didn't eat much though, she was concerned about the news she had to tell Hanabi.

Hinata thought it might just be better if she just told her straightforward what was going on. So after breakfast she went to Sasuke's room. She knocked softly on the door.

"COME IN," she heard Hanabi say. Sasuke was fast asleep and Hanabi looked like that where she needed to be as well.

"Hanabi, how much sleep have you gotten in the last week?" Hinata asked as she slowly crossed the room to where she sat.

"Enough to keep a wife where she is supposed to be, by her husband's side."

"Hanabi has anyone told you what was really wrong with Sasuke?" Hanabi shook her head no. Hinata took her sister to the hall and told her everything Naruto had told her. Hanabi didn't look too surprised when she found out that he didn't love her. But the fact that he had nothing to live for made her crack. She knew though, that she still belonged to him. She turned pale white, got up, and slowly headed back to Sasuke's side.

"Hanabi, where are you going?" The pale white girl couldn't speak, she merely continued back into the room. She looked as if in a trance. Obedience, loyalty, respect, the three things she had grown up on. Everything she had shown every one of the men in her life but they never showed her. 'Why should this time be any different right' she told herself. 'Raise two kids on my own, sounds about right.' She sat down beside her husband, took his hand, and fell asleep as a tear slowly trickled down her face.
