This is my latest update yet! I moved last week and haven't had internet until today.

BUT I have the next two chapters already written (there's some things I still have to fix though) and I'll put them up in the following nights.

Here's chapter 5!

Disclaimer: Naruto not mine.

xXxXxXx

Sasuke dropped Hinata off at the side door of the main building, leading into the basement floor. After their parting Hinata wandered up the staircases to her locker. Dropping off her books, she organized them neatly by period among the folders and binders. Since she lacked any homework from her first day, she had no need of them on her person. Her bag felt lovely, freed of the weight. Soundlessly closing the metal door of her cubbyhole, she turned and left.

She was half hoping to see Hidan at his locker, but he was not around. She merrily skipped down to the first floor, receiving lustful stares from the male population. As she had been getting all day and just like before, Hinata was ignorant of her spectators.

The Hyuuga decided that the retrieval of her little sister was priority. Her father entrusted this task to the indigo-haired girl and she was not going to screw it up. That made her sigh doubtfully. Hinata managed to make a mess of everything in her family life. Hanabi was almost forced into picking her up. Hiashi's eldest daughter wondered if her father was that worried about her getting lost or kidnapped. The kidnapped part wasn't that outrageous though, oddly it happened to her on more than one occasion.

Entangled in a web of self-pity, the pouting girl wound up staring at her feet as she walked. A horrible trait. Considering that if she walked while looking downwards she could not see any walls or people in front of herself. Realizing this she hurriedly check for any objects in her path and that was when two arms wrapped around the girl's midsection.

"Hinata-chan!" came a gleeful voice, from behind, that she knew belonged to an energetic dark-haired freshman.

Tobi's entire body was pressed to her backside, a wave of self-consciousness came over the Hyuuga girl. Her face flushed red and her knees gave out on her. She went limp in the boy's arms, struggling to hold onto her awareness and not pass out.

"Tobi-k-kun!" she protested, struggling away from him. Trying to be compliant, and consider Hinata's feelings as Itachi had commanded, Tobi released her and Hinata almost fell to the ground. She caught herself the last minute by grabbing onto the boy's arm. At least she could breathe as she took a wary step away from her friend.

"Gomen, Hinata-chan!" apologized Tobi, his voice very serious, appearing to be ashamed of himself. "Tobi doesn't mean to make you mad! Tobi is a good boy, really! Tobi just gets excited when he sees Hinata-chan! Tobi promises to restrain himself!" He made a motion of crossing his arms tight across his chest.

Hinata was struck with a pang of guilt. Tobi was obviously hurt by her inability to hug him without getting too embarrassed and fainting. She took it upon herself to ask for his forgiveness.

"It's n-not y-your fault it's m-mine!" she stammered, a hand pressed to her chest to show how deeply she was sorry. "I-I sh-should be th-the one apol-l-logizing! I'm t-too w-weak r-right now. . . I pr-promise, one d-day I'll b-be able to h-hug you!"

The dark-haired boy was surprised by her strong reaction and it made his heart soar. Her confession showed that she cared, that was enough. Grinning happily, he confessed,

"That's okay! Hinata-chan is so sweet! When Hinata-chan is able to hug Tobi, Tobi wants fall in love with Hinata-chan!"

The Hyuuga girl blushed crimson, unable to hold back a smile. Tobi definitely knew how to make the blood rush to her head. He was too innocent for his own good.

"A-arigato, Tobi-ch-chan," she quietly thanked, her heart was pounding in her chest as he beamed in her direction. Tobi was so cute and sweet and caring. There weren't any other guys like Tobi out there, he was one of a kind.

"Hinata-chan called Tobi Tobi-chan!" the grinning boy hollered triumphantly. "Tobi and Hinata-chan are best friends!"

Hinata giggled at his outburst. She'd like having Tobi as a best friend, he would make things fun. The Hyuuga girl then remembered that she was supposed to be on her way to the middle school already.

"Oh, no! I h-have t-to g-get going!" she told Tobi, already becoming frantic. If her father knew she was late, there would be hell to pay.

The boy's face fell as he inquired,

"Where's Hinata-chan going?"

"T-to the m-middle s-school to p-pick up m-my sister," she replied hastily. Tobi's face rose just as quickly as it had fallen when he exclaimed,

"Tobi's going there too!"

Hinata stared at him quizzically. What were the odds?

As the two walked, Tobi convinced Hinata to let him hold her hand. It was a battle for the bright red girl. Tobi didn't understand that she was completely unused to so much physical contact. Actually, she'd never held a boy's hand before. That realization further stoked the growing flames under her skin that made her blush. Tobi, on the other hand, was humming a cheery tune and swinging his arms along with Hinata's. The boy was fully enjoying his stroll.

When Hinata asked him why he had to go to the middle school he replied,

"Tobi's brother goes there! He doesn't let Tobi walk alone though. Tobi was supposed to wait at the school, but since Hinata-chan is with him, Tobi can surprise his brother!" He seemed to be very excited about that last part.

The Hyuuga had noticed that he mentioned staying at the school. Did that mean his parents really were going to have is little brother pick him up!? How childish was Tobi!?

Hinata instantly felt like a kidnapper. She felt as if she was the bad guy, dragging this poor innocent child along with her. What had she done? Tobi's little brother was probably going to scold her.

Maybe it's not too late to bring him back to the high school . . . ? she wondered, about to turn around and insist that he go back.

Then Tobi suddenly took off in a run, bringing Hinata with him.

"Come on, Hinata-chan!" he shouted gleefully, his arms out like an airplane. The Hyuuga girl couldn't do anything aside from hurry to keep up with him.

The two were winded and breathless when they arrived at the middle school. The last bell was audible from the sidewalk on the other side of the street. They headed towards the school entrance, where kids were already leaving the main building.

"That was fun!" declared Tobi, beaming as he pulled Hinata across the black pavement. Avoiding a speeding car, they reached the other side and stepped onto another sidewalk. Hinata scanned the growing crowds for Hanabi.

"T-Tobi-chan do y-you see your brother a-anywhere?" asked Hinata, nervously scrutinizing his odd expression.

"Ya!" he suddenly burst out, excitedly. "Obito, over here!" He was waving manically toward the front door.

Hinata easily picked out which boy Tobi had been calling out to. The child was around Hanabi's age, a pair of orange goggles strapped to his forehead. He had the same dark hair as Tobi and the boy looked like Tobi's miniature. But the simplest way she spotted him was from the shocked look that washed over his face when he spotted his aniki.

Obito marched straight up to his big brother and said sternly,

"Niisan! You were supposed to wait at the high school! What if you got lost!? Or worse, hit by a car!"

"Yay, Obito cares about Tobi!" cried Tobi happily as he embraced the frowning little boy.

Hinata was amazed by how different the two were. Tobi was hyper and carefree while Obito appeared to be stern and down-to-earth. As Tobi swayed his little brother back in forth in his tight grip, the younger boy looked miserable. Then the older of the two said,

"But Tobi wouldn't get lost because Hinata-chan was with him!" Then he pointed the to blushing girl and Obito stared at her.

"Thanks for looking out for him," he mumbled, shoving his brother off him. "I swear he's clueless. I don't know how we're related."

"Tobi knows! Oji-san said that Tobi's dad and mom--"

Horror-struck, Obito hurriedly slapped a hand over his brother's mouth before the older sibling explained the birds and the bees to the unsuspecting Hyuuga.

"That's not what I meant, Niisan," he told his brother exhaustedly. Then he turned back to Hinata. "I'm Obito Uchiha, Tobi's little brother. Nice to meet you."

Uchiha? she mentally questioned.

"Oh, uh, n-nice t-to m-meet y-you too," replied Hinata, bowing her head to the little boy. For some reason she felt inclined to do so. Obito acted much older than he looked. "I'm H-Hinata H-Hyuuga. I g-go to y-your n-niisan's sc-school."

Obito looked between Tobi and Hinata and then said,

"Hyuuga? Are you related to Hanabi Hyuuga?"

"Oh, um, h-hai. Sh-she's my--"

"Onee-chan!" called another little Hyuuga, hurrying to her big sister. The girl had long brown hair and wore punk-style clothing. She was smiling until she realized there were two others with Hinata. She glared at the younger boy. "What do you want Uchiha?" She crossed her arms over her chest, standing protectively by her sister.

"Nothing from you, Hyuuga," spat Obito, acid in his voice. Then he smiled at Hinata. "I was just have a conversation with Hinata-chan." He looked smug as Hanabi's jaw dropped, turning desperately to Hinata.

"Onee-chan, how do you know him?" she questioned, anxious. Her eyes pleaded with the older girl to deny her affiliation with the Uchiha boy.

"Um, I w-well, T-Tobi-chan is m-my fr-friend a-and, um. . ."

"She's a friend of my niisan," clarified Obito, helping the distressed girl.

Hanabi's porcelain eyes glided to the older version of her arch enemy. They looked identical. Her eyes stayed locked onto the older of the boys.

Hanabi couldn't believe that the annoying Uchiha boy from her class was making a move on her precious sister. The youngest Hyuuga would never allow it. She despised Obito with a passion since the first day they met. He was arrogant and talked big, but Hanabi was the best in the class while Obito was the worst. They couldn't stand each other since they shared a class in the third grade. A rivalry began and they'd been in the same class ever since.

"Does Hinata-chan and her pretty sister want to walk home with Tobi and Obito?" asked the taller boy in his signature third person.

Hanabi blushed at being called 'pretty'. She already liked this older version of Obito, Tobi was much nicer.

"Niisan!" hissed Obito, glowering at Hanabi.

Empowered by Obito's obvious objection, Hanabi firmly accepted the offer. Tobi was ecstatic and Hinata didn't mind. The four of them set out towards home, which was coincidentally in the same direction. Tobi was holding Hinata's hand again, Hanabi possessively took her elder sister's free hand in hers. She didn't like that he was cozying up to her onee-chan, no matter how sweet the boy was. Obito trailed behind the threesome, hands stuffed in his pockets. Of the entire group he was the most mature and felt the desire to look out for them, stuck up little Hanabi included.

The younger Uchiha's eyes widened with fear as he saw his older brother obliviously walk out into the street as a car came barreling down the road at full speed.

"Niisan!" he shouted, reaching out to pull him back onto the sidewalk. Hinata and Hanabi were yanked backwards along with him, thank goodness.

Hinata was terrified when the car went flying by honking it's horn at the foolish kids.

"W-w-we c-c-could h-h-ha-have b-b-been k-k-ki-killed!" she shrieked, her eyes were as open as humanly possible as she turned to an equally frightened Hanabi.

"I-it's okay, Onee-chan," assured her little sister shakily.

The rest of the trip home went without another incident, they were all far more cautious walking despite the fact. They all silently vowed to look both ways before crossing the street.

The Hyuuga household was closer to the school so they reached their home first, Hinata repeatedly thanked Obito for saving their lives. And in a brief moment of silence, the air was filled with the ringtone: When I Grow Up by The Pussy Cat Dolls.

•When I grow up,

I wanna be famous

I wanna be star

I wanna be in movies!

When grow up,

I wanna see the world

drive nice cars

I wanna have boobies!•

That was a little weird, what was weirder was Tobi pulled out his cellphone and answered,

"Hi, Oji-san! Tobi was a good boy today!"

Obito looked expectantly as his older brother conversed over the phone.

"Tobi is at Hinata-chan's house! . . . Oops. . . Tobi's sorry. . . She's Tobi's new friend. . . Okay!" He held out the phone to Obito, who took it with a huff and answered,

"Yeah? . . . Mm-hmm, he showed up with the girl. . . No, she seems okay. . . We waked her and her sister home. . . Yeah, we're already there. . . Uh. . ." Obito suddenly glanced around, pausing when he found the street sign. "Tsubaki Street. . . You don't-- Oh. Okay. See you." He passed the phone back to Tobi and informed him that their uncle was on his way to pick them up.

"W-we'll wait outside w-with you," offered the indigo-haired girl. She would feel rude leaving them on the curb to wait.

"Okay!" agreed Tobi, grinning happily.

The brunette Hyuuga stayed to protect her sister from the Uchiha brothers. She was also curious as to what Obito's family was like. Hanabi remained silent as her older sister giggled and chatted with the two boys until a dark blue sports car tuned down their street driving over 60 miles per hour in a neighborhood that had signs posted everywhere reading '15mph, Children at play'.

"Oji-san!" exclaimed Tobi excitedly, waving his arm to flag down the racing car.

The car swerved to their side of the road, screeching to a stop by the curb where they were standing. In the driver's seat was a young man with a pair of black sunglasses shading his eyes. His hair was black, long, and shaggy in the back. He was dressed in a pristine black suit with a dark blue tie sloppily knotted at the front of his neck. He turned his head in the children's direction, a hand pushing his sunglasses from his eyes and into the back mess of his hair. His eyes were obsidian, the same as every other Uchiha Hinata had ever met. A wolf-like grin stretched over the man's features, eyeing Hinata deviously.

The girl in question was clueless to this, but her younger sister was fully aware that this stranger was looking at her onee-chan with the eyes of a predator.

"Hey, kids," the man greeted them.

"Hello, Madara-oji," replied Obito, opening the back door, pausing to introduce the two girls. "This is Hinata and Hanabi Hyuuga."

"Nice to meet you ladies," Madara told them, receiving a glare from the smaller Hyuuga and a shy smile from the older. "Thanks for looking after my two nephews. They tend to get into trouble, especially Tobi."

"Tobi is a good boy!" protested the highschooler, invoking a throaty laugh from his uncle. Then the boy turned to the Hyuuga sisters. "Tobi will see Hinata-chan tomorrow at school! And maybe Hanabi-chan too?"

Hanabi blushed, inwardly hoping that she would see him again.

"B-bye, Tobi-chan, um, O-Obito-chan," said Hinata, smiling at the two.

Obito hurried into the backseat of the car, saying "Later." The younger boy was hoping to hide his blush by gaining some distance. Tobi followed behind his little brother.

"Tobi is a good boy and will put his seat belt on. Bye-bye!" he called and then the car jolted to life, zooming down the street and around the corner in a blur.

"Onee-chan?" calmly asked Hanabi, still staring after the car after it had vanished from sight.

"H-hai?"

"Take care of yourself. I worry about you sometimes."

"Hai," promised Hinata, grinning at her sister.

The two headed into the house and Hinata continued to smile uncontrollably. After all, she'd survived her first day of high school, gained a group of new friends, and knew that her sister cared about her. She was so blessed and in one day, her life was looking up.

A/N:

Thanx for readin', su!

--Don't you think Tobi would be dead in real life going around with his head in the clouds? He needs a protective little brother to look out for him, that's where Obito comes in. I really hated how Obito died in Kakashi's Gaiden. So, I decided to bring him back to life! In child form because he was soo cute! :D

Also I decided Madara should have a part in his life, considering they were one in the same. So, he gets to be the young rich uncle who takes care of them. [Tobi has no parents.]

And I'm introducing Pein in the next chapter! (I swear this time)

To everyone and AKAHINA97 --I'm not putting PeinKonan in this. I don't like them together (sorry all PeinKonan fans!) There will be PeinHina in later chapters ;)

Also I'm glad so many people liked having SasuHina! I will definitely write more and lots of AkaHina :)

Please review and tell me what you thought 3
