Edo: She owns nothing.

Jun: Except faulty eyeglasses she doesn't wear.

They didn't go to the hospital immediately. Edo was nervous about his family's reception. Jun was terrified of facing his last relatives, who may think he had just abandoned them.

And thus, they sat at Ichiraku, Edo picking at skim ramen while Jun tried to eat something other than the liquids he had been on since the near drowning. Beef ramen with little meat and few noodles.

"You know Jun" Edo began "I don't think you have much to worry about, Your family lobes you. I'm sure they will hear you out."

Jun finished drinking the broth of his ramen and set the bowl down with a small tap. "You're probably right." Jun said with a sheepish smile "As always."

"Glad to see we are on the same page."

"Uchiha?"

Both men stopped what they had been doing, Jun opening his mouth to reply to his mate, and Edo eating the last noodles out of his bowl.

"Hai?" Jun said nervously, turning around to face the unknown voice.

Instead he faced a deranged battle cry and a kunai to the face.

Rather than being wary, or oblivious, their first act had been to attack Jun with kunai. Apparently, since growing his hair out. He looked like Itachi. And while Itachi was now welcome in the village, the announcement was to be made later, hence, the attempted stabbing.

And by attempted, it means Edo grabbed the blade of the kunai a mere inch from Jun's face, thus laying his hand wide open and dousing both his arm and Jun's face in crimson.

In retaliation Jun slashed the man across the face with his claws.

They of course carried him to the hospital anyway. And after Edo's hand was bandaged and the blood mostly cleaned from their skin and clothing they decided to go find Sasuke.

Sasuke smiled gently in his drug induced state. Sakura stayed with him day and night, which made him happy. And Neji, was keeping her company, he decided lazily that he really liked Neji too. Though he didn't like Sakura spending so much time with him. She should go home. For a while at least. Naruto, Hinata and Kakashi were back. They had even brought Gaara for reasons unknown.

They had once again been discussing the supposedly dead family members Hyuuga and Uchiha when a gentle knock interrupted the conversation.

"Come in!" Sasuke called softly.

They expected a nurse, doctor, random fan girl, or possibly Tsunade. They didn't expect two tall men who looked like mirror images of each other, differing only in eye color and hair color.

The man in front bore an eerie resemblance to Itachi Uchiha, minus the lines by his nose. His eyes were molten silver and his skin looked paler than snow. Both of their complexions did. He was tall and lithe, and was, true to Uchiha standards, gorgeous.

The man standing behind him looked much the same, though he bore no real resemblance to Itachi, he also had silver-white hair and icy blue eyes.

Kakashi was the first to regain composure "And you are?"

Thefirst man smiled, flashing a bit of fang "Jun Uchiha, pleasure to make your acquaintance Kakashi Hatake."

His voice was a little hoarse, but it still managed to sound like crushed velvet.

Neji looked up "How do you know him?" This kind of thing just didn't happen, you didn't talk about supposedly dead people, only to have them show up, midway through the conversation.

The man slightly behind the alleged Uchiha, was every bit as tall and lithe, his skin tone so pale that his white/silver hair stood looked like a painting, or a statue, so they were reasonably surprised when he spoke.

"We know all of you. Tsunade filled us in before we came." He said kindly. The ninja marveled at his voice. Every bit as soft as Jun's but if Jun's voice was like crushed velvet, this man's was pure silk.

Sakura decided this was enough. "Why do both of you look, and sound, like, like…"

Another soft smile from the second man. "we are demons, we are supposed to be physically attractive to lure our prey. Our voices are no different. I'm Torike Hyuuga …Though I actually go by Edo Phoenix now."

"Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Phoenix." Sakura said in shock.

"And who are the lovely ladies?" An obnoxious voice called from behind the four

"Pervy Sage!" Naruto shouted immediately leaping from his seat on loopy Sasuke's bed to gesture violently at the white haired older man.

Jiraiya walked calmly over between Edo and Jun and slid an arm around each of their waists, and pulled them closer to him. Laughing he asked if they would model for his next book.

Edo was not pleased, nor was Jun.

"If you don't let us go, old man, I'm going to castrate you." Hissed Jun

While the other nin mused on how Jiriah had mistook two men for women, a slight chirping noise began filling the room. At first Kakashi thought Sasuke was accidentally activating chidori, until he looked over at the two men. Edo standing in a relaxed manner didn't look stressed, worried or angry, but looking at one of his hands, with fingers lightly outstretched, he noticed a problem.

Edo's partially curled, clawed hand seemed to be showing emotion that its owner was not. Torike's hand seemed to be giving off the chirping noise as a small chidori like flurry of sparks danced around his fingers and up his wrist, like he was preparing to throw the tiny jutsu. It looked like it could seriously damage the receiver.

Jun seemed unperturbed, merely smiling at the small display of power. Inwardly though, worrying at the ever deepening shadow in the blue eyes. Sometimes it built up like this, growing and growing until the normally gentle young man lashed out, harming others with vicious displays of power. Jun had never been hurt, but he knew that others had.

"So you're Torike's friend?" Neji asked calmly

"Well, Hiashi's going to be pissed." Neji mused

When given a questioning look from the others, he elaborated.

"You were supposed to marry Jun to prevent you having children." He said apologetically to Edo. Who promptly snorted.

"I don't really want children, but I did wind up with Jun."

Hinata blushed, "Ah,s-s- sorry Hyuuga-s-san, you both just d-d-didn't seem like a coup-ple."

"I don't show much emotion." Edo explained "Comes from being alone and terrified since I was eleven."

Kakashi remembered a tidbit from the file on Torike's disappearance.

"Didn't your father go with you, and your mother? Why would you be alone?"

Jiriah took this moment to escape the room before Jun could make good on his treat, because while he had let them go, Jun seemed to be getting more intense.

"Mom promptly went bananas and now stops in regularly to try and kill me, but dad was murdered one year in. His killer actually adopted me."

That was sick and twisted.

"That's awful." Sakura stated sadly

"Yes, but I expect no less from the man who eventually forced me to destroy my fathers soul."

"Destroy his soul?"

Edo looked away, he wasn't reliving that.

Jun, had slipped to the bed in the midst of this conversation. And was currently stroking drugged up Sasuke's hair back with a tender smile. He always had, had a soft spot for his little cousin. And he could still see the little boy behind the glazed over eyes.

He couldn't wait to talk to him. To hear what he sounded like when able to speak. To know him once this was over. He had his surrogate little brother back, and he wasn't letting anyone take him away again.

Glancing over at precious person, he knew that all of this would work out at some point. He wouldn't lose them.

Sasuke's determination. And strong will

Edo's kind smile and soft voice that made anyone around him, love him.

He could never live without three important people, or any of his friends on Academy Island, and he just was wondering about Itachi, when he walked in.

Whoo, biiig edits here.
