no nones pov.

Sasuke stared into the council's souls, if they even had any, and looked away before deciding on how he currently felt. He breathed in slow, trying to understand how he was actually feeling at the news he had just received.

He turned to Kakashi who looked straight at Sasuke not blinking once. Sasuke sighed and stood up abruptly from the meeting table, he walked towards the door, and everyone just stood still as he opened the door and walked out.

Sasuke walked forward and towards the entrance of the Hokage tower, where he abruptly stopped. He was about to turn a corner when he saw the Hyuga girl he had just talked to a day before. He looked at the child that had her full attention. Sasuke gulped as he had only seen the back of the child's head, he waited patiently for the boy to turn, and the small child did, and onyx eyes connected to onyx eyes. He was sure that was the child they had just been discussing. His nephew, It felt unreal as if he were in an alternate universe.

Sasuke felt like time had stopped moving, and then he saw the small child frown and withdraw behind the Hyuga's figure, which made him snap out of it. His anger returned tenfold, and everyone in the nearest vicinity could feel it this time. He no longer cared about control as everything came back to him. The good first, then all the bad, and he frowned and started to breathe heavily.

"Sasuke!" Hinata said a little louder from the last 3 calls she had made.

Sasuke looked at her and saw she had her Byakugan activated, and then he noticed that he had unconsciously activated his eyes. He quickly calmed down and frowned at himself, how could he had let himself loose his control at a moment like this.

Sasuke walked calmly towards Hinata, and she smiled at him. She grabbed a handkerchief out of her pocket, and she looked at Sasuke gently.

"May I?" she said

Sasuke raised a brow and crouched on the ground, ignoring her. The child grabbed onto Hinata even more and hid his face on her side.

Hinata blushed beet red at the way the child held onto her. She looked towards Sasuke, who crouched beside her and sighed. She wasn't sure if she should tell Sasuke his eyes were bleeding, as he had just ignored her help he didn't want her help, and that most likely the reason the child was so afraid of him was for that reason.

She decided to gulp down her shyness and tell him because the more he just crouched down and stared at the child with ought moving the more the child stayed scared. Like any other child, no one likes to see blood specially from a strange man who is just staring at them with bleeding eyes.

"umm Sasuke your eyes are bleeding and i think youre scaring the child a bit." She said the last word silently because she finally wondered if Sasuke knew the child.

It was the way he was looking at the small boy assessing every single inch of his face. Not in a bad way he actually had a sort of softness in his eyes.... Which was something she had never seen before. His features which were normally stoic had a soft look on them. Hinata was unsure if he himself knew what kind facial expression he had at this very moment.

She never thought the day would come.? granted it's not like she had seen him many of times. In fact Hinata could count the times she had seen him in person in 1 hand after he left Konoha. But as hard as it was for her she held back the gasp that wanted to pass through her lips as she saw Sasuke Uchiha smile at the child.

It was not a forced smile nor a smile you practice while looking in the mirror. It was actually a genuine smile. It was a small smile that tugged lightly at his lips and was kind and gentle.

She blinked when Sasuke put his hands to his eyes and whipped his cheeks. Hinata offered the handkerchief again and Sasuke finally looked at her and took it and nodded towards her. He proceeded to clean his cheeks and he cleared his throat once he was done.

Still crouched down eye level with the small child he finally spoke.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha what is your name." Hinata smiled as the boy looked at the man infront of him and then back to Hinata as if asking her permission to answer this strange man.

Hinata nodded at him as he looked at the man infront of him and he let go of Hinatas leg and clenched and unclenched his tiny  hands as he contemplated saying his name.

He finally looked back at Sasuke and gave a tiny smile. The boy was unsure why he felt safe at first he felt startled at seeing this man very angry he had never felt this nervousness before. Even though he felt nervous he also felt something else... happy? He was unsure as he had never felt this feeling before.

He knew he was smart from what every single man in white told him after playing games with him. They were boring and he had never seen outside of his 4 walls it was always dark in the place he was at except for a lamp.

The day everything around him started to shake he was scared and everyone was running and then he saw so many new things that he had only seen in pictures.

He felt everything around him it was new. He was still small and didn't quite understand but he was smart enough to know that there was so much more here then we're he used to be.

"Itachi." The small boy answered and Hinata gasped and looked at Sasuke who had frozen and his eyes had widened a fraction while hers were an inch away from falling of her face at how wide they had turned.

Hinata turned to the cat Anbu but he was no longer there. She frowned and looked around them but there was no one in sight and everything was quite between them.

They all turned to the person walking up to them and Sasuke stood infront of the boy.

Kakashi looked at his student and almost wanted to frown but he didn't blame the hate he had in his eyes for him at the moment he didn't understand.

"I see you've met your nephew!" Kakashi said since no one was breaking the silence and the staring contest between them was going nowhere.

"You had no right." Even though the sentence was not  screamed out loud. It sure felt like it had, Hinata felt a shiver run down her spine at the cold chilling tone.

Hinata felt her shirt being held and she turned to the child as millions of questions ran through her mind. What exactly was going on. She felt like she had just heard information that shouldn't be heard by anyone.

"Sasuke you don't understand this is a good thing-." Sasuke clenched his fist.

"This place is a curse. This village is a curse for us Uchiha. You had no right."

"It was what your brother would have wanted."

"What do you know  about what my brother would have wanted." Sasukes eyes turned and hundred of Anbus appeared surrounding them instantly.

Hinata picked up the child and held him to her in a protective stance and his small arms held her instantly. She was unsure what was about to happen but a fight wasn't to far away.

Sasuke turned to her and she jumped from the stare she wasn't completely scared she was just lost on the situation on hand.

She didn't blink as Sasuke walked towards her and gently took the child from her.

She fought the urge to hold onto the child but if what the hokage said were true and this was Sasuke Uchihas nephew then she had no right to argue about him.

Before Sasuke could take his nephew the boy grabbed onto Hinata and she yelped as the only thing the boy could grab onto was her shirt and parts of her hair.

In the consequence of Sasuke taking the child and the child holding onto Hinata she was pulled into Sasuke bumping onto his chest and almost making him loose his balance.

Sasuke looked into Hianats eyes as she blinked up onto his. Neither aware any longer of the scene they were portraying to the audience around them.

Only Confused at the current situation now.
