Chapter Twelve: Touchy Subject

- Uchiha Sasuke -

Hinata and I were the last ones to arrive to the dinner, everyone who was normally happy was happy. Except for Hinata, "Sasuke, Hinata, you have finally come." my mother stood up.

"Hello mother, How are you?" I sat down between her and my father. As Hinata sat down between her parents. Her parents didn't look very happy just plain, her mother gave me a quick smile to ease my worries. She could tell it was tense.

"Hinata," Her mother, Hana lightly touched her shoulder. "You seemed happier last time I saw you," she gave her a small smile. "Hinata?"

"Hana.. " she said her mothers name and her fathers eyes became angry, you could see war in his eyes. "Hanab." She is even struggling just to speak Hanabi's name. She must have been scared by her sister for life.

"Hinata?" Her brother looked at her and sighed. "Maybe she is still tired out from earlier. Do you need to rest?" He stood up ready to take her to a room.

"Hanabi!"

"What?" My family was just as shocked as hers.

"You mean, Hanabi, banned from the village Hanabi," Neji slammed his hand on the table. "What am I saying it couldn't be anyone else but her. "That is just like her to show up like this, considering what she did before."

"I seem to be the only one here that doesn't know what she did before," I looked at all of them. Even my brother seemed to have some past with a girl my age.

"Hanabi, was a very bad girl, she tried to kill a lot of people and succeed in killing some. One person she didn't succeed in killing is you brother over here," Hana, Hinata's mother pointed at Itachi.

"Of course then she was hated by Uchiha as well, and you weren't as powerful as the name we gave her so she wasn't punished," Hiashi was definitely mad about this.

"Stop!" Hinata yelled. "Hanabi said she wouldn't ruin the dinner! Us talking about her is ruining the dinner!" She was out of breath from yelling at al of us. "I would like to talk about our days and how we have been not some sadistic bitch!"

"Hina.."

"I know I brought her up but I just thought you should know and I didn't want to go home unhappy because I told you after the dinner so there, it's out now let's not do this." She sighed.

"As you wish Hinata," Hana, Hiashi, and Neji all spoke at the same time. My parents followed and I was smacked in the back of the head.

"What was that for?" Itachi pointed his head towards Hinata.

"As you wish, Hinata," I bowed my head. "Um.. Mom, so if you knew we were going to do this why did you still participate in the fight? You could have gotten hurt."

"Is my young Sasuke worried about me?" She grabbed my cheek and smiled. Hinata was giggling at me.

"I am not young anymore mother," My cheek hurt from her pinching it so hard. She always did it when I was younger and it never hurt, now that I am older it hurts. Maybe I didn't notice it before.

"You will always be young Sasuke, because you the littlest and the worst at jutsu," Itachi added in his very un-needed two cents.

"I am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Remember how long it took him to do the fireball Jutsu ma?" Itachi elbowed her and she started to laugh. I wanted to be like Itachi so much The fireball jutsu was my main priority back then.

"He would spend every night and day blowing over the water waiting for the fire and even sometimes have little tiny ones. Always came home with so many burns," she pushed back the hair in my face and stared at my eye. "Sometimes I thought he was sick."

"But it was just the heat from the fireballs," Itachi chuckled.

"Come on," I was almost whining. "That isn't far."

Hinata looked like she was enjoying herself watching my family squabble. "That is why I am glad my little Sasuke met her," My mom smiled at Hinata. But Hinata was of course in shock.

"Why?"

"You turned him into a better person and of course he turned that one girl into a better person, you know the one he brought over to the house a lot," My mother was trying to think of Sakura's name.

"Sakura, mother," Itachi reminded her.

"Ah, right? I never understood why he always had her over but was dating Hinata, he would never bring Hinata to the house," I wanted my mother to stop talking now.

"I think that is enough Mom," I pulled on her arm.

"No," Hinata leaned in, "I would like to here more. It always fun to sit down with family and talk over food." She scooded closer to the table.

"Hinata you don't remeber?" Her mother interfered. "You would always be so excited when Sasuke asked you to go out but some nights he would cancel on you for studies with a friend."

"Him and Sakura would always been in his room studying with some help from Naruto every once in awhile."

"You guys don't remember?" Neji had already dug into the food. "Sasuke would always cancel then Ino started coming over whenever it happened and soon Naruto."

"After that Senior year you guys never talked again and I was fine with that. Now you are roommates. Ino never said anything because she never wanted to hurt you."

I didn't know anything about what they were saying, "I thought Sakura and Naruto were dating for a while but realized it was an act and she was playing him." Hana smirked.

"She is one hell of a girl, I am glad she is working for us now, thank you Hinata," Hinata nodded but didn't say much she must have been processing it just as I was.

"Nevermind, it isn't a good thing to talk about the untalented poor rats," Hiashi spoke.

"Yes, Father," Neji and Hinata spoke in unison. Their mother just shook her head, she was definitely the fun parent just as my mother is.

"How as Neji and Hinata's childhood, Lady Hana?" Itachi smiled.

"It was mostly her and an older brother with a little sister complex and the best thing about it was that he had two," Hana was smiling until she realized what she said. "Excuse me."

Hinata's mother stood up and left the room I guess having her banished is like losing a daughter, "I'll assist you." Hiashi stood up but she waved him off.

"I guess we can't avoid it," Hinata sighed. "The fact that she still lives bothers me everyday, now that she has come for me is even worse."

"This is never a good subject for Hinata to talk about, hard on us all," I can just imagine Hana crying everyday over a daughter gone bad. Hiashi feelings the void of three with two. Neji holding one closer than the other and Hinata losing a piece of her.

"My family can not relate not unless I had some evil twin."

"You would be the evil twin," Hinata and Neji spoke in unison which made them both smile.

"You know what, let's make this a monthly thing, once a month we all get to get her for a dinner. I would love to know more about you all," My mother smiled.

"I would like that," Hana appeared. "Well, I think we should go," I guess Lady Hyuga can be stiff. "Hinata, Neji, let's go." Hiashi stood up and grabbed his wife's arm as the children followed.

Hinata turned around and motioned I'll see you at home.

***

When I got to the dorm Hinata and Naruto were there laying on the floor together. "Jeez." I had stopped at my parent's house to grab another scrap book.

I went to my room without distrubing their sleep and turned on my desk lamp. I laid the book under it and started to flip through the pages. She talked about Sakura being over a lot but most of the pictures were of Hinata and I.

Some of these I don't even know how she got:

Sasuke wins the Anbu Games.

Some Time Alone

Hinata and Sasuke's first festival.

Costume Party

Out All Night.

Especially out all night that is just creepy that she would even take pictures of Hinata and I kissing. Let alone follow us to get it.

"So, you are being some creeper and Photoshopping photos of you and Hinata together, that is low Sasuke," Naruto was in my door way. This is where I say it's not what it looks like.

But before I could say anything someone else did, "Those are real. I took them," A girl with brown hair like Neji's and eyes as beautiful as Hinata's jumped in between us. "I left them in front of Sasuke's house long ago."

"Who are you?" Naruto looked pissed.

"Hanabi," we both spoke. She smiled while I had a frown on my face.

"I thought Sasuke was the boy toy, I just pay attention more, well, I will see you around Naruto. The new boyfriend. That blonde hair of yours is adorable by the way," and like that she had disappeared again.

"Just get out my room."

"Who is she?"

"Ask Hinata." I pushed him out and slammed the door in his face. Hanabi took those pictures? I woke up to see a very sleepy Hinata sitting on my bed.

"What do you want?"

"You wouldn't wake up, so I waited," She was rubbing her eyes and yawning like a child. "Do you know where Naruto is? We fell asleep and when I woke up he was gone.

"Maybe you will see him during class," I got up. Classes will be starting soon. "Come on."

Hinata was like a zombie all morning until after class when I say her and Naruto. Her mood from earlier had completely changed and she looked might I say happy. I was going to walk right past them but then Naruto said something.

"Are you coming to lunch with us, Sasuke?" Naruto had his arm around Hinata's shoulder with the biggest grin on his face. Ino was standing next to Hinata. She didn't look so happy.

"I think I would just be an intruder, maybe another time, yeah?" I started to walk away but stop when Ino and Hinata called my name.

"Sasuke!"

"I want you to come, I don't want to just be that random third wheel on a date," Ino sighed and crossed her arms as she looked at the so called happy couple.

"Then what would I be?" I looked at Hinata then back at Ino. "I would be a fourth wheel just another to add to the collection."

"You would be my friend and invited guest," Hinata spoke up. "Also Naruto's." It was sudden that Naruto and Hinata were something. I don't see them as a couple because she rushed into without thinking and I hate to watch him fall for a girl who doesn't even think about him everyday.

"It was just a thought you don't have to force him," Naruto turned around with Hinata, but Ino hadn't left her spot. Hinata was looking back at the both of us. "Ino?" Naruto stopped but didn't turn to look.

"I going to go to lunch with Sasuke, you to make it a date," Ino walked towards me and smiled. "Follow me, we're going to get Sai and Sakura," she whispered and we walked away.

"Why?"

"I just thought maybe because they are our friends, so let's talk to them I am sorry they can't go on all the adventures with us, now just come on and don't ask anymore questions," Ino was being stricter and not like the fun stricted sister.

I am still worried about that visit from Naruto and Hanabi. The scrapbook was just to see if I could remember what everyone was talking about over dinner. Now I have this twin visiting me when ever. Is she living in our dorm?
