Still had the Byakugan activated.
She must have found his chakra with the Byakugan, that's probably how she found this place…
"Hinata? What happened to her?"
"Aiya, just come with me and you'll see!"
"..."
Seeing this, Uchiha Kage quickly shut the door, then let the anxious Hyuga Hanabi pull his arm and head toward the Hyuga clan grounds.
———
"Why are you here? Did Lord Hokage send you?", Arriving at the Hyuga clan residence, even before entering, Uchiha Kage saw Hyuga Hiashi, who seemed mentally unwell.
'Did something really happen to the Hyuga clan?'
Uchiha Kage grew curious.
"It wasn't the Hokage, it was…", Faced with Hyuga Hiashi's question, Uchiha Kage pointed to the small hand on his arm.
"Big sis is not going to make it, hurry!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Hanabi!"
Ever since Hiruzen suggested that the Hyuga clan form their own guard unit, Hyuga Hiashi had been sleepless for an entire night.
'Is Lord Hokage planning to use our Hyuga clan as a target?'
'Is the Hyuga clan going to walk the same path as the Uchiha clan?'
All these speculations gave Hyuga Hiashi a splitting headache.
"Your sister is fine, don't bother your brother Kage…", Ever since the Kirigakure incident ended, Hyuga Hiashi no longer regarded Uchiha Kage as just an ordinary youth.
Although the last banquet ended a bit unpleasantly, at this moment, Hyuga Hiashi felt that the young Uchiha in front of him might be his last hope.
'Maybe he can solve the Hyuga clan's current predicament?'
"Right, Kage, I have something to discuss with you, would you come inside for a chat?", Holding the mentality of treating a dead horse like a live one, Hyuga Hiashi wanted to first ask Uchiha Kage about the matter of establishing a Hyuga guard unit.
"This…"
"Father, big sis is seriously sick, and only brother Kage can cure her," Hanabi stubbornly tugged at Uchiha Kage's sleeve.
Her sister's condition was worse than yesterday. If this continued, something bad would definitely happen.
"Hanabi, I have serious business to discuss with Kage! You can play later…"
"Sis's problem IS the serious business!"
"Hiashi-senpai, I'll go see Hinata first, we can talk later,".Compared to Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Kage was obviously more concerned about what had happened to Hinata.
But just a few days ago, Hinata was fine, what could have happened to make Hanabi so anxious?
'Big sis really didn't fall for the wrong person.'
Seeing Uchiha Kage choose to follow her to see big sis and refuse father, Hanabi's little face lit up with joy.
"What's wrong with your sister exactly?", Though he hadn't seen Hinata yet, Uchiha Kage's Byakugan already saw her chakra.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong.
That's right, if it were something serious, how could her father possibly block him?
"Sis has been weird these past few days…"
She couldn't get up in the morning, was listless during meals, got distracted whether playing or training, like her soul had drifted away.
Especially today…
Yet the doctor came and couldn't find anything wrong.
Hanabi, desperate, had searched for the Uchiha Kage that her sister often mumbled about in her sleep.
She thought, maybe only by bringing the person her sister constantly spoke of could she bring her back to normal.
"Anyway, you go in first and see, she's waiting for you on the bed," After speaking, her small hands pushed against Uchiha Kage's back, shoving him straight into her sister's bedroom.
"..."
'What do you mean, your sister is waiting for me on the bed?'
'That sounds way too suggestive.'
But, after stepping inside, Uchiha Kage did see a very different Hinata than ever before.
———
"Mm…"
The Byakugan girl lay on her little bed, face flushed.
Eyes tightly shut, lashes and eyelids trembling nonstop.
Her pale pink lips were whispering slightly.
"Kage… Kage-kun…"
For several days now, Hinata hadn't had her usual "dreams" of being bullied by Uchiha Kage.
The thing that made her feel most comfortable had vanished without warning, leaving the girl very unaccustomed.
From early withdrawal symptoms to now an indescribable emptiness and… itching heart…
Even her body was starting to… go out of control.
Hinata herself felt ashamed of her own state.
How could she be like this…
But even feeling ashamed, the dazed, fragrant-breathing girl still couldn't help but start fantasizing again about her "dreams."
Dreaming of being held in Kage's arms, having her ankles grabbed and played with by him…
"Ugh…"
What Uchiha Kage saw was just this scene.
The girl's cheeks red as blood, her body slightly arching on the bed, sometimes lying flat, sometimes curling on her side with legs together.
Her delicate jade-like hands rested unconsciously between her legs, occasionally her calves kicked off the thin blanket… revealing a pair of curled-up white radish-like feet.
Her soft toes glistened like glass under the light, occasionally clawing the white sheets like a cat's paw, wrinkling the fabric.
Walking toward the bedside, Uchiha Kage could clearly see Hinata curled sideways facing him, her youthful curves and the snowy-white foot extending cutely from under the thin blanket.
"Hinata."
'Sleeping at this time, this really doens't fit Hinata's usual diligent behavior.'
Uchiha Kage had come to Hinata's room more than once.
Not to mention, in the dream realm he had visited this familiar residence countless times.
So he habitually sat by Hinata's bed.
"Kage…", Upon hearing the familiar voice of the person she was just fantasizing about in her half-dreaming state, Hinata slowly opened her eyes.
'Ah… This dream feels so real, just like the old ones…'
Opening her eyes to see the person she missed most sitting at her bedside, Hinata instinctively thought it was just another illusion of her dreams.
"So warm…"
The girl boldly, or rather, couldn't wait, to reach out and pull the boy's hand to her cheek.
After rubbing her cheek gently against the back of his hand, Hinata slightly opened her lips again…
"Hinata?", Uchiha Kage didn't understand why Hinata had suddenly become like this.
'Is she having a fever?'
Just as he thought this, he suddenly felt something strange about his hand.
'This…"
The red-faced girl looked at him in a daze, like an innocent little deer.
"The moment you arrived, sis woke up!", Hanabi closed the door and came to the bedside too, seeing her sister holding Kage's hand.
"Sis, are you hungry? But brother Kage's hand isn't for eating…"
"Ha-Hanabi?", Only then did Hinata notice her "fantasy" Uchiha Kage actually had her little sister beside him…
'Aah!'
Then, realizing what she had done, she quickly let go of Kage's hand with a bright red face.
'No, this is wrong!'
'I can't possibly imagine Hanabi while fantasizing about Kage-kun…'
'So this is…'
'Kage-kun really came to see me?'
'Oh no, that means just now…'
Looking at Uchiha Kage's fingers, Hinata blushed so hard steam puffed from her head and quickly buried her whole face into the thin blanket.
"Sorry, I… didn't… know it was… I…"
'This is bad!'
'To have such a lewd and indecent side of myself seen by Kage-kun!'
'Now he'll definitely think I'm a weird girl, and hate me completely…'
Hiding under the covers, Hinata couldn't help but feel sorrowful.
Her little feet sticking out from the blanket also curled up tighter from her panic, the ten jade toes tensing hard.
With their pink soles, they looked just like cute cat paw pads.
"Is it a fever?"
Although not disgusted by Hinata's drool, Uchiha Kage still wiped off his fingers.
'What a surprise, I didn't expect Hinata's tongue to be so…'
"Yes! A cold… I caught a cold, cough cough…"
Hinata timidly peeked out from under the blanket with just her eyes, watching Uchiha Kage's expression carefully, while quickly using the cold as an excuse to cough several times.
