Bad Influence

Admittance of His Truth

Hinata's arms were crossed over her chest and she glared at anyone and everyone that entered her room. Just because guess where she is once more. Oh yeah, she's right back in the hospital, and this time there's no escaping because they have security posted at her door. Her eyes flickered over to the gamer box that Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna, and Madara had left with her. She sighed as she stared at it, not one of them would tell her who spent all the money to get her these nice things. They all had one so she had no idea who had actually done it.

A knock at her door brought her out of her thoughts and she looked up to see Izuna standing in the doorway with a sly look in his eyes and a grin on his lips. "Hey Izuna-kun." She greeted and he shuffled past the guards at her door. "Have you come to visit me while I'm imprisoned once more?" she asked with a noticeable amount of stale humor. "Sadly,so. I can't break you free, and if I tried they wouldn't let me come see you anymore. But I do have secrets to spill." He said and she sat up in her bed swiftly. "Oh really?" she asked with a grin and he nodded. "Yeah... a lot of people have come through my shop today complaining about one thing or another, but the main one was that Madara hasn't showed up to work today." He said and she looked at him oddly.

"Don't you live with him? Wouldn't you know if he went to work or not?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah, but here's the thing, he said he was going to work today but never showed up." Izuna said and Hinata furrowed her brows. "Are you sure you shouldn't be worried about him? I mean really, isn't that like how people end up murdered on the side of the road somewhere?" she asked then he frowned at her. "I mean... he isn't the nicest of guys... I think you should be worried." She said and he shook his head with a sigh.

"He's fine, trust me... he has been seen everywhere but at work today." He said then eyed her oddly. "What's the deal with you and my asshole of a brother anyways... yall have like... this love hate thing going on. Is there something I should know about?" he asked and a deep red blush covered her cheeks. "So I suppose there is then?" he asked and she redirected her gaze away from him. "I promise I won't tell him..." Izuna said and she looked at him unsure.

He offered a smile and she sighed. "Fine..." she said with a sigh and he laughed lightly. "Is it that embarrassing to think about?" he asked and she nodded. "When I was in the coma... he was... exceptionally rude, but he had his moments that made me wonder if he was really as rude as he put off to be, he is by the way..." she began with a frown and he nodded. "Yeah, my brother is a bit unorthodox... the reason I'm asking is because he's different around you, and I've never seen him like that. And then there is the fact I think he ditched work for a reason that he would refuse to admit." Izuna said and Hinata shrugged lightly.

"I don't understand why he would suddenly just act differently after I woke up... he was always mean to me before I even fell into the coma." She said and he nodded. "I remember, he used to taunt you and bother you when we were younger, but I think it was because of something he had said to mother when we were all children." Izuna said with a laugh and Hinata eyed him carefully. "What do you mean?" she asked and he blinked. "Oh... uh... well I'm not sure if I should actually bust my brother's bubble." He chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck.

Hinata smiled slightly and shook her head. "It can't possibly be as bad as the dream in my coma where he tortured me because apparently I had called him cute as a child." She said with an eye roll. "I never called him cute though... so I've been wondering where that had come from." She said and Izuna was staring at her wide eyed. "Hinata..." he began and she looked at him oddly. "Hm?" she hummed her response and he watched her carefully. "Uh... when you were in the coma... do you know if my brother ever came to visit you?" he asked and she shook her head. "I don't think so, I don't think I ever heard his voice, only Hashirama's, Tobirama's, my family's voices, and the voices of my friends. I think I would remember hearing his voice." She said and he nodded, not quite as sure as she was but he wasn't going to press her upon the matter.
