If I owned Naruto I wouldn't be living off of the cafeteria food at my college, now would I?
All other characters are original, and mine. But you can borrow them if you e-mail me and ask politely. ^.^

Oh, slight yaoi warning for this chapter. Nothing steamy, it's just a relationship, so I promise not to expose anyone to anything that sickens some of you too much. But, if you really can't stand yaoi in the slightest, even the mere mention of it, I suggest not reading this chapter. There is kissing. ^.^

Chapter Five: Family

Neji groaned as the door bell was rung again, rolling over to stare at the clock, and cursing under his breath. He had just gotten back from a a particularly long ANBU mission, and had finally eased himself between clean, bug free covers. Well, maybe not totally bug free but still, he did not want to get up.
"Shino, you get it," Neji moaned, nudging at his husband.
"Takeshi's your son too, you kill him," Shino mumbled, nibbling at Neji's arm.
Neji sighed, realizing that Shino, once near a decent sleep, would not be roused for anything less than screams of blood and murder. Which Neji was actually thinking of doing simply so that he wouldn't have to get out of bed, but the door bell rang once again.
"Stupid brat, he's old enough to buy his own groceries!" Neji swore, grabbing a robe from beside the bed as he shuffled out of the room, brushing hair out of his eyes. His son was notorious for showing up at the door asking for food, as he more often than not never did his own grocery shopping.
"Takeshi, buy your own damn food... Zatoichi? Kaneda?" Neji stopped, his anger dissipating quickly as he looked at two of Hinata's sons.
He was surprised to see the two of them standing there, especially Zatoichi. Hinata rarely let the thirteen year old out of the house, claiming his blindness as an excuse to shield him from the real world, even if everyone else knew that was a pathetic lie. Zatoichi was a better martial artist than even Neji had been at that age. And his younger brother, Kaneda, was never far from his side, just to make sure nothing ill befell him.
"Sorry to wake you, Uncle Neji, but Mother and Father have had a fight, and Akira has disappeared. Have you seen him?" Zatoichi inquired, his voice soft and strong.
"What did Sasuke do this time?" Neji groaned, ushering the two children into the house with a yawn.
"Father did a very bad thing," Kaneda hissed, gritting his teeth as Neji's eyebrows rose questioningly.
He knew that Sasuke was not well loved amongst his children. His obsession with rebuilding the Uchiha's legacy of power and supremacy in the village ran too deep in his blood, and his training. But Neji knew also that Hinata gave as good as she got when he yelled a little too loudly or a little too much at their children, her temper more intense since she had married the man.
"How badly did Hinata hurt him?" Neji asked, closing his bedroom door before either could hear Shino's snores.
"Mother kicked Father out of the house, and declared us Hyuuga's," Zatoichi explained, sitting down on the couch, his brother next to him, moving a glass away from the edge of the coffee table.
"Declared you to be Hyuuga's? That must have been one damn fight," Neji whistled, tying a spare bandanna around his curse seal, noticing Kaneda eyeing it grimly.
Kaneda had killed three Hyuuga ANBU when they had come to place the curse on Zatoichi three years before. Zatoichi had killed five, and Hinata two more. Hinata's sister had stopped attempting to place the curse seal on the children after that. The lives of ten ANBU spent trying, in vain, to seal the children was simply too pricey.
Sasuke threatening to slaughter the entire Hyuuga clan if they tried to curse his children also lent a decisive edge to the decision.
"Father hit Mother during a fight, and Akira witnessed the slap. It was hard, and it knock Mother unconscious, and she's still a bit sick. She's pregnant again," Zatoichi explained, and Neji nodded, "But Akira had a complete mental break down. His sharingan awakened, and Father was going to slap him. That's when he went out the window, and when Mother kicked Father out,"
"About damn time," Kaneda hissed, cracking his knuckles.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen Akira, or Sasuke. Try Iruka, his door is always open, especially for his students," Neji offered, leading the two out of the house once again.
As much as he cared for his cousin, and her children, he really needed a good night of sleep.
"Thank you, Uncle Neji. We'll inform you directly when we find Akira," Zatoichi bowed politely, "Be sure to slap Father if you see him."
"I'm sure I can greet him with the proper.... response," Neji smiled, shutting the door and dead bolting it behind him.
"What's going on?" Shino yawned, stumbling out of the bedroom.
"Sasuke pissed off Hinata. He nearly hit Akira," Neji sighed, sinking down to the ground, "What are you doing out of bed?"
"It was cold without you," Shino explained sheepishly, gathering the exhausted ANBU into his arms, and heading back to bed, Neji already asleep.

Kakashi looked at the shattered wreckage of the window, amazed that Akira hadn't been cut by the debri. The little boy was, considering the situation, incredibly lucky. Of course, Kakashi reminded himself, he would have been even luckier if he had never been involved in such a catastrophe in the first place.
"Kakashi-san? What are you doing here?" Hinata asked, drying her eyes with a handkerchief as she looked out the window.
"I have Akira at my place, with Setsuko," Kakashi reassured her, knowing that all she wanted to know was about her son.
"Good, good. Thank you Kakashi, but could you take care of him for the night? It's already past his bed time, and I don't want to disturb him," Hinata whispered, playing with her handkerchief.
"Hinata, what happened here?" Kakashi asked, turning to face the quite woman, "Why was Akira running down the street, screaming?"
Tsuzuku (To be continued)
Author's Note: Yeah, yeah, I know. There was mention of yaoi in this chapter! Deal with it. I happen to think Neji and Shino make an adorable couple. ^.^
But yeah, that's about the only yaoi in this story. So no Sasuke x Naruto later on, don't worry. ^.^;
I had to laugh when I wrote Neji, I really did. After I saw Neji for the first time I thought he was cute. And then I saw his fight with Hinata in the Chuunin Exams, and I was pissed. I hated him for the longest time after that, but I got over it. I heard his story, and I really felt sorry for him.
I feel sorry for all children who lose their parents young. My mother's death tore me apart for years, and I'm still sensitive about it.
But I decided that Neji would get over it. He grew up, realized that Hinata had nothing to do with his father's death, and grew to like Hinata as a little sister. And had to put up with having eight, soon to be nine, kids calling him Uncle Neji. ^.^
Just as a side note, Shino and Neji adopted Takeshi, the son who is mentioned but never shows up in this chapter. To be honest, he never really shows up at all, ever. There really is no reason for him to, and there really isn't any back story for him.
