I don't own Naruto.
Across Time
Chapter 7
Brothers
"DAMNIT YOU TWINS GET BACK HERE," screeched Kushina and Mikoto, together chasing after the Hyuuga twins of Hiashi and Hizashi. Kushina's hair was full of tomato sauce and Mikoto's hair had white cheesy sauce and bits of fried octopus on her. They were pissed. It was actually an accident on the twin's part.
You see, Kushina and Mikoto were eating out talking about their respective boyfriends (Minato and Fugaku) who were currently out of town on mission to Suna. Hiashi and Hizashi were spying on them because they were trying to find out what made them like Minato and Fugaku. Hiashi just so happened to have a crush on Kushina while Hizashi had a major crush on Mikoto. They both thought they were a thousand times better than Namikaze Minato or Uchiha Fugaku, their ass of a teammate. They accidently distracted the waitress who was carrying the food that was currently on the two women chasing the Hyuuga twins down the streets of Konoha.
Luckily, the twins go to Hyuuga compound before the two women reached them. Kushina and Mikoto were stopped by the Hyuuga guards and they left with dangerous looks on their faces.
"That was close, Nii-sama," said Hizashi.
"Maybe we're going about this all wrong," said Hiashi, the colder and smarter of the two. "We only have three more days before Namikaze and Uchiha come back to get Kushina-chan and Mikoto-san to like us and not them."
The next day, Kushina and Mikoto were still out for Hyuuga blood so the twins decided wisely to let them cool down before approaching them anytime soon. So another day was lost in the brothers' quest to get girlfriends or rather steal girlfriends of Minato and Fugaku. However, the following day, Hiashi bought red flowers for Kushina and Hizashi bought white flowers for Mikoto to go and apologize for getting food in their hair and messing up their lunch.
The two women were in training ground 3, sparring viciously against each other when they noted the twins watching them with their hands behind their backs.
"What do you want," asked Kushina, twitching. Mikoto coldly glared at them.
"We wanted to apologize for the other day," said Hiashi, handing Kushina flowers.
"Yes, it was really an accident," said Hizashi, handing Mikoto flowers. Both ladies stopped their cold glares.
"I'll forgive you this time," said Mikoto.
"I suppose it's all good," said Kushina, shrugging. Then suddenly the Hyuuga males felt imminent doom while Kushina and Fugaku looked confusion and so cute. Fugaku and Minato were standing in the trees, dark looks on their faces. They knew exactly what Hiashi and Hizashi were up to and they were not happy men who just came back earlier just to see their girlfriends receive flowers from other guys.
"You're back early," said Mikoto, smiling. Kushina just grinned.
"Hiashi," said Minato, not a happy almost Hokage.
"Hizashi," said Fugaku, a never happy Uchiha head.
"We need to go for a little talk," said Minato, grabbing the future Hyuuga head and father of Hinata and Hanabi. Fugaku grabbed the future father of Neji. "We'll meet you ladies at Ichiraku's later."
Hiashi and Hizashi never again thought about trying to go after Kushina or Mikoto, ever again.
"Hiashi-sama, I need your help," said Hizashi, to his older brother who was now head of the Main Branch of the Hyuuga Clan. He was holding a wailing one year old Neji, who would not stop crying. It was driving the younger twin insane.
"Hizashi, how am I supposed to know how to shut the child up," asked Hiashi.
"You're going to have a baby in a few months, do something," said Hizashi, one of the last times he will ever whine to his older brother. "She just had to go on a mission this week."
"Both of you are useless," said one of their female cousins (main family member), coming up to them. She took the wailing Neji. "No offenses, but seriously you better learn how to make a baby stop crying Hiashi-sama." Neji was asleep in a few minutes and handed back to his father.
"She's good," said Hiashi.
"Insanely good," said Hizashi.
Over the years, Hiashi and Hizashi grown apart and soon Hizashi was gone, leaving his son orphan and in the care of the Branch Family. Hiashi was used to brooding as of late, with the death of his brother and the illness of his wife weighing heavily on his mind. He knew the thing with his brother was his fault but he recently chose to blame little Hinata. All rational thought told him that it was Kumo's fault and not his nor Hinata's but somehow with Hinata so timid and shy, he'd rather blame her.
"Geez, Hizashi, I'm a crappy father," said Hiashi. He told himself that when Hinata graduated from the Academy and became a genin. Again he told himself that after the prelims of the Chuunin exams and he also told himself that he was crappy uncle to Neji, his twin brother's only son.
"Otou-sama, I'll be leaving for a mission with my team and Team 7," said Hinata, now a fifteen year old Chuunin. She was standing before him in his office, more comfortable with him lately because of his kindness to her, Hanabi and Neji. "Oh and Neji-nii-san should be back today from his most recent mission."
"Alright, Hinata," said Hiashi.
"Bye, Otou-sama," said Hinata, turning to leave the room.
"Hinata," said Hiashi, before she was completely gone.
"Yes, Otou-sama," asked Hinata.
"Be careful," said Hiashi.
"Yes, I will," said Hinata. He sighed as she left. He was worried since she was going on a mission to locate Uchiha Itachi so Konoha could technically locate Uchiha Sasuke. His old teammate's sons better not hurt a hair on his daughter, but he knew she was capable and she had two Jounin (Kakashi and Yamato, for her sensei is pregnant) and four other Chuunin (Sakura, Kiba, Shino and Sai), not to mention she had Uzumaki Naruto. That boy looked exactly like Minato but he had the personality of Kushina. He partially smiled.
"Otou-sama," said Hanabi, knocking on the door, "I'm leaving for D-rank missions now." Hiashi nodded. Hanabi was now a genin and soon she will be rising in the ranks like Hinata.
He sure was getting old.
"Am I screwing up anymore, Hizashi," asked Hiashi, whispering.
