Yawning as he got off the airplane, Naruto cracked his back in a place where he would get in no one's way. "I really do hate these rather long flights."
After cracking his back for a moment, Naruto finally trudged to his destination, albeit willingly. He never was a fan of how over crowded Japan was. The only reason he was here was to see how little brother and sister.
"Maybe I should have kept in contact better?" Naruto wondered out loud, getting some rather weird looks from passerby's.
He wasn't the best of a brother, that much he knew. Immediately after graduating from his sixth high school he left. Of course, they weren't his real family. The age of ninja had long passed but for the first time in ages this family took him in when they had nothing. He had never seen such kindness, especially when most people these days were just complete assholes.
But the Hikigaya Family was to kind for their own good, before they had children they would adopt who they could and feed anyone in need. The result of that was them working overtime.
Naruto remembered the days when he henged into a six-year-old and acted his age, how kind they were. He remembers the days when Hachiman and Komachi finally were born and grew up to where they are today. Well he hadn't seen them in almost three years but eh, who cared about the facts.
"Sir please move, you are blocking the baggage claim." Someone told Naruto, knocking him out of his thoughts.
Looking up Naruto saw that he was indeed blocking the rather small doorway from the terminal to the baggage claim. "Oh my bad, I just haven't been in Japan in a rather long time, memories were flooding back to me." Naruto told the security officer with a smile.
The officer smiled to Naruto, "Well, have a good stay here sir." Naruto bid farewell to the man before going to get his bags.
After getting his bags, the line taking a rather long time. Naruto rushed outside to get a taxi. The car ride back to his home town was rather long and he would have liked to get there before the night settled in.
"So what makes you want to go all the way out there? Any special ladies?" Naruto gave a short chuckle to the taxi driver as they were leaving the airport.
"No nothing so special, I haven't seen my family in such a long time. I thought it might be time I come on home. I didn't really say anything when I left." The taxi driver jumped.
"What! What kind of son doesn't go and see their own parents! My boy we better get going!" The taxi driver hollered to Naruto. "How long has it been since you've seen them?"
Naruto gave the man a sad smile, "About three years, I didn't want to trouble them with money. Now that I have more than enough I can pay them back for all they have done for me." It wasn't technically a lie. At the time the Hikigaya family was struggling just a bit with the amount of money they had. Even when they were working overtime, they weren't making enough.
"My boy! I'm a dad, trust me when I say I know that a parent will always take care of their children. Even when they are short on money." The Taxi driver looked up to his rear-view mirror and stared directly at Naruto. "You know, you look like quite the charmer, got a girl friend?"
Naruto rolled his eyes but smiled anyways, "I believe we already had this conversation but no, I do not."
The Taxi driver laughed, "Man if only all you young folk were as kind as you these days. My god, earlier today I had some famous lady in here who was just as kind as you. Of-course it looked a little fake to me unlike you, still she was rather nice as well."
"Oh? Tell me about her Gramps." Naruto couldn't stop his smile as the man became rather outraged at Naruto.
"Oi! I'd have you know I am only forty years old, thank you very much."
"Ma, I couldn't tell, what made you hit on young ladies than?"
The Taxi driver started to fake cry, though the smile on his face was still plastered there. "I like you brat! You know how to be kind when needed and at other times can be a savage. I'm almost jealous of you."
Naruto let out a short laugh, "Most people want to be me, though I feel like your jealousy comes from somewhere else. Now why don't you tell me who this fair maiden of yours was?"
The Taxi driver got a short blush, "Oh yes you'd be surprised who it was! The famous Haruno Yukinoshita was in here earlier! My goodness, you would think someone like that would take their own- Hey kid, you alright?"
Naruto hadn't noticed himself but he had gone deathly pale. Who would have thought that out of everywhere in the world that she would have come here out of all places? "Oh my apologies, it's not every day you hear someone as famous as her going somewhere. Why exactly was she here in Japan?"
"She said she was going to visit her family. Apparently, her little sister goes to somewhere called Soubu high school. I heard that the place was hard to get into! Well it would make sense since how rich that family is. Aren't they the richest family in Japan? Isn't that just ridiculous. Man, what I would do with money like that.
Naruto squinted his eyes just a little bit, was it coincidence that she just happened to be here at the same time as him? It wouldn't be surprising since both of them had siblings that went to the same school.
On the other hand, this was Haruno he was talking about. Even though he covers his tracks, the addiction that she had to him in high school never did end.
Just the thought of seeing her once again sent shivers down his spine, it was one of the very few reasons he decided to leave his home.
Actually, it was the only reason, when her exact words were "I will have you." Kind of creepy, even to someone like him. There weren't many things that scared Naruto but he was damn sure that she was one of them.
"Hey kid, are you sure you're okay back there?"
Naruto looked up to the man, "Don't worry about me gramps, I'm just thinking over some things. I completely forgot about Haruno is all. It's just memories.
He hadn't forgotten about her, as much as he would have liked to. Once something like that happens, one does not simply 'forget'.
Letting out a deep breath he smiled as the long car ride fortunately came to a close. "Take care old man,"
"Hey you to kid, get some rest for me. You look like you should be bedridden after the car ride."
Naruto smiled at the taxi driver, "Don't worry about me, I've been through worse." After paying the taxi driver the correct amount of change, Naruto stepped out of the car and looked up to his house.
"I'm home."
Oh damn that's the first chapter. Expect the next one this time next week. Most chapters will be 1k-5k.
