Hinata was taken home in his bed. Seno touched his head and noticed a fever. The stress seemed to get over his head. He brought a wet cold towel to his forehead. He took the child's clothes on the change into some white pajamas with small duck imprinted around them. He pulled the blanket over the kid.

"I'll have to call Ukai to bring some medicine for you."He mumbles and left to call Ukai.

He couldn't have adult medicine, not even painkillers. They were warned not to use it for kids of course. He called but the male didn't answer. Not even Takeda.

"Shouyou!"Hinata turned and saw his mother.

"Mommy?"He asked and she shook her head.

"It's all in your head. I am shaped as your mother because that's your memory of her."He frowned.

"I know you miss her, but we have to grow up Shouyou. You can't be stuck in the same loop again."She said and Hinata just started to get confused.

"I made a mistake."Hinata turned to see a taller version of himself.

"What mistake?"

"Letting it take over me. It hurts so much like thorns. You have to face it so we both can be free."He told the smaller Hinata who nodded.

The older Hinata looked up which made the smaller Hinata head turn. "That shadow will swallow us all."

"And that's because it's our conscious is affecting us. We really don't have much time."He said and smaller Hinata raised an eyebrow.

"Is that why you told me to save you?"He asked and the older Hinata nodded.

"Now you go."

"Hey, Ukai! Thank god you answered. Does your store have medication for children specifically for fevers?"He asked as he looked at his son.

"Yeah. Wait, he's sick?"Ukai asked surprised.

"Yes...he was fine at the park but after that, his nose bled and he fainted."He sighed and watched as his kid groaned.

"I'll be right there."

Ukai hung up and Seno went beside Hinata. He sat on his bed and rubbed his hands together. He just looked at his son who had a frown on his face.

"Hinata. Wow, the orange head is here. How stupid!"He heard and turned to see a male with a paper.

"I heard you're disowned, but I remember you were beaten up by your parents to death weren't you? Ha! They even hated you."He glared as he knew exactly who the male was and how he looked.

"Nishimura Atsushi."He mumbles annoyed.

He hated the male's guts. He remembers this was the person who beat him up when he wanted to be alone. He didn't want to attract attention from anyone. He made that happen. This all happened in the beginning because of him.

"You remember how I first did it?"

Hinata gulped in disgust. He remembers being pushed in the alley and used as bait for women. He remembers being hurt and seeing how much they would hurt the victims. He hated it. He felt disgusted and all he could ever think was his last piece of hope he had lost that first day. He felt pulled by the arm and punched him the face.

His eyes widen and his heart dropped. "HELP! HELP! DAD!"

"I'm here!"Ukai said taking a deep breath.

"DAD! NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! DAD HELP!"Hinata cried which Seno was shocked.

He took Hinata into his arms and hugged him. Ukai gulped and put the medicine by the nightstand. He slowly walked away and went to the kitchen. He started making some miso soup for Hinata. Seno held his son tightly and gulped. He hated this so much. He held him and he himself started crying.

"LET ME GO!"Hinata yelled trying to push Seno but he held him tightly.

Seno slowly got into bed as Hinata stayed in his arms. He had to change the sheets later but not now since it wasn't important. He held him tightly as the boy cried. He couldn't take this anymore. He hated seeing him cry, scream and be in so much pain he should've noticed.

Eventually, Hinata calmed down in his slumber and Ukai brought the soup in. Seno mumbles a 'thank you' before taking it to put it by the nightstand. Seno sat back down and wiped his tears. Ukai just pats his shoulder.

"This is all my fault. I should've paid close attention to him!"Seno mumbles punishing himself for it in his thoughts.

"It's not your fault. Not only it was hidden but you did the best you can ever do as a father. It's those people who made him this was."He said and Seno sighed.

"Go eat and I'll watch him."He said and the male hummed.

Seno went to go to the kitchen and sat on the table. His tears still dropped and he wiped them. He started having rice into his mouth. Then a ring came from his phone which made him take it from his pocket to answer.

"Hello is this Hinata Shouyou Guardian Kenta Seno?"He heard and hummed.

"Hello this is from Himari Adoption Center to inform you, Hinata Shouyou has a sibling that can be adopted."He coughed as his eyes widen.

"Wh...what?"

"Yes, he has a six-year-old sister named Hinata Natsu. It seems like she was born right after her mother died. We tried to locate any relatives and couldn't until we found her older brother."He heard her say which shocked him to the floor.

"Is there a way for you to meet her? Can she meet her brother? She needs a home."He stood and took matter to his own hands.

"Yes, just give me the address and I'll be there when my son is ready. Thank you."He told her and she gave him the address.

He couldn't believe it. "Take care and hope to meet you soon!"

They hung up and his eyes widen in shock. Hinata had a sibling he didn't know about. He doesn't know how Hinata's life is right at the moment or how bad his past is. He's far from knowing anything at all. All he knew was that Hinata was seven when his mom died but was never told she was pregnant. She didn't seem like she was. He seemed confused but right now, he had to take care of the kid who was a mess.

He went in and looked to see Ukai feeding him the soup. Hinata just coughed and continued to eat. How is he going to tell the boy he has a sister he never knew?
