"I'm home!" Sasuke yelled, taking off his shoes and walking into the house.
"Sasuke! You're back so early! I thought you were going to the..." Mikoto's voice drifted off as her eyes landed on Hinata. The small girl stood by the now closed door, her head down and her hands shoved in her pockets.
"I was but something came up," Sasuke said, turning around and looking at her. Hinata didn't look up or say a word. She slowly bent down and took off her shoes, careful not to put to much pressure on her hurt ankle. In doing so Mikoto caught a glimpse of Hinata's bloody hands. The woman let out a small gasp and set her book on a nearby table. She quickly approached the girl and grabbed her hands.
"What happened!?" she asked looking at her son then at the Hyuga standing in front of her. Hinata frowned and looked down. Her chin touching her chest as her eyes filled with tears.
"She got upset and..." Hinata looked up and gave Sasuke the death glare well Mikoto looked at her youngest, waiting for an answer. Sasuke swallowed and looked away from her hard stare. His eyes met his mothers. She raised her eyebrow, waiting for him to finish.
"I fell," Hinata spoke. Her voice hallow like she wasn't the nervous little girl they met a week ago. "Sasuke helped me."
"Well, we should get you cleaned up. Come, I'll wrap that ankle." Mikoto said, pulling Hinata along. Said girl limped behind Mikoto. She turned to look at Sasuke only to see him walking the other direction.
Sasuke turned the corner and slammed right into his brother.
"Sorry, Sasuke. I didn't know you were home yet," he said, crouching to his little brothers level. "How was your walk?"
"Good I guess. I ran into Hinata and she-" Sasuke stopped as Hinata's dead glare popped into his mind. "She got hurt."
"Well, what happened?" Itachi asked, standing but still looking at Sasuke.
"Her ankle..." he said. Itachi's eyebrow raised. Sasuke stood in front of him with his head down. Not making eye contact. He studied his brother's posture until his eyes landed on Sasuke's arm. Red smeared from his sleeve to just above his elbow.
Itachi grabbed his arm and examined the blood. "What's this?" he asked.
"It's nothing," Sasuke said, his voice shaky as he tried to get his arm free. "Just a little blood from Hinata. It's nothing."
"Nothing? Look at this. It's a lot. She's lucky you found her! Where is she now?" Itachi said dropping Sasuke's arm.
"With mom. She helping her with her ankle."
"Oh, Itachi! I was just coming to get you. Can you help me in here." Mikoto asked looking at her eldest. Itachi nodded and left, following closely behind his mother after giving his brother one last glance.
Sasuke frowned and looked down at the blood on his arm. He let out a sigh and walked to his room. He slowly slid the door open and walked inside, plopping on the bed and staring at the ceiling. After some time a soft knock on the wood by his door caused his head to snap up. Hinata stood looking at him. Her pale eyes smiling and her hands all wrapped up.
"May I come in Uchiha-san?" she asked. Sasuke sat up and crossed his arms. He tried his best to copy the hard expression she gave him earlier but failed and looked away. Hinata giggled and stepped inside the room. Her whole body now visible. She looked at her feet then back at Sasuke's wide-eyed expression.
"W-what?" she mumbled nervously. Sasuke shook his head and looked away once more.
"That's Itachi's shirt." the black haired kid said. Hinata looked at the shirt then back at Sasuke who was now looking at her.
"My close had blood on it. Itachi-kun let me wear this well your mom cleaned it..." she explained. "I'll be heading home after my hoodie is don't being cleaned." Sasuke's expression softened as his eyes wondered to his lap.
"Well since your gonna be staying a little do you wanna play in here." Sasuke asked
"Sure!" Hinata smiled looking at the boy.
"She ran off?" Sakura said looking at her sensei. Obito nodded and looked in the direction she ran. Sakura followed his gaze and sighed.
"Maybe we should go find her?" he said.
"She's fine." a voice called causing the two to turn.
"Itachi-kun?" Sakura asked looking at the older kid.
"She's at my house with Sasuke. She hurt her hands and ankle. I came to in form you." he said walking closer to the two.
"Why thanks Itachi." Obito said giving him a wide grin.
