Foreword

Konohagakure City, Fire County, Japan, July 7th 2029, 8:45 AM

A man mumbled to himself as he sat up, his back popping a bit as he leaned forward on his bed, resting his elbows just above his knees as he looked to his left, at the mirror he had hanging on the back of his closet door. He stood up and reached his right hand to his left shoulder, rubbing the sore muscle he groaned, "Damn, Kiba, you look like hell." A snicker could be heard coming from the door to his room as his oldest child and son stood there, nodding in agreement. "No one asked you Kado." He said with a smile as he ran his left hand through his shaggy, mid-length hair. "I know you didn't dad," Kado began to walk away as he stopped and remembered, "oh, and uncle Naruto is here, he said it was important." With that he walked down the hall to his own room and closed the door. Kiba walked over to his dresser and pulled the top drawer open and grabbed a clean pair of boxers, he closed the drawer as he walked out of his room and started down the stairs.

He reached the landing of the stairs and sighed to himself, "I don't want to deal with anyone today." Putting on a façade smile, he finished walking down stairs and opened the front door, "Hey Naruto, what's up?" The blonde quickly rushed through, nearly pushing his friend over in his bum rush of manic thinking, "Kiba, Kiba, Kiba! I have awesome news!" He yelled out in his excitement. Before Kiba was able to reply Naruto shoved a letter into his face, "Man, the record company, they want us to do a reunion tour! Do you know how amazing that is?" he was smiling ear to ear as he let Kiba read the letter. As Kiba stood there, his jaw was beginning to drop as he read, "Either I'm not reading this right, or it says they'll pay us each, fifty thousand just for signing up for the tour." He lowered the letter and looked up at Naruto with disbelief all over his face, "But, why now? It's been twelve years since we last performed. Why do they want us after so long?" Kiba was asking himself aloud as Naruto was barely containing himself. The brunette was still thinking as he heard the doorbell ringing, 'Now who's here?' he wondered as he opened the front door to see a delivery woman standing there with a package, "I'm looking for a Kiba Inuzuka?" She said in a questioning tone as she lifted the box up to show him.

Naruto pointed over Kiba's shoulder to indicate that's who the woman was looking for, she gave a soft sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank goodness, I've been looking for this address for hours it seems." The woman giggled softly "Well if you'll sign this?" she lifted an electronic pad from her hip and handed it to him, pointing to the line he had to sign. Kiba nodded as he took the pad from her, "Do you know who sent this?" He asked as he signed on the line and waited to hand it back to the woman. She took it back from him and browsed through the paperwork in her other hand, "According to the order, Hiashi Hyuga sent it." She handed him the paperwork and let him see for himself. Taking the papers, Kiba looked through them, with Naruto looking over his shoulders, "Hey, Naruto, you married Hinata, and isn't Hiashi her father?" Naruto silently nodded and snatched the paperwork from Kiba's hands "Yea, but why would he send you a package….?" He asked himself as he started to read the order forms.

The delivery woman lifted her eyebrow, "So, you're Naruto Uzumaki?" She asked the blonde and waited for a response. Not getting one the woman cleared her throat, snapping both men from their collective thoughts as she asked again, "Are you Naruto Uzumaki?" Both Naruto and Kiba nodded, "Good, I have a package for you too. Do you have any ID?" Naruto started to pat his jacket down, finding his wallet in the right breast pocket; he pulled it out and showed her. "Ok, here take this." She handed Naruto the package meant for Kiba and started to walk back to the truck by the road. "Kiba, what do you think he sent us?" the now confused blonde asked as he shook the box in wonderment. "Stop that." Kiba slapped his friend's hand and took the package from him, "Moron, what if it's breakable?" he asked back, ignoring the blonde's question as he walked over to his couch and sat the box down. "My only question is why would he send ME something, you, you're understandable, you're basically the man's son, but me? I'm just his daughter's childhood friend." He looked around, rubbing his head as he was thinking of how to open the package, "I need some scissors, or a knife." Naruto started to say something as Kado pushed pass him, "Did you look in the kitchen? Like the silverware drawer or the chop block?" the teen said as he walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Kiba walked into the kitchen and playfully slapped Kado across the head "No one asked you, but thank you son." Kado nodded and rubbed the back of his head with a chuckle as he grabbed a bottle of Mountain Dew, "You're welcome dad, Yuki woke up, and she's saying she's thirsty."

"Ok, tell her I'll get her something to drink in a little bit, try to get her up and dressed, your uncle and I have something we need to discuss." Kiba said as he moved pass his son and walked over to the counter. Kado nodded and started back up the stairs, "Hi uncle Naruto." He waved and said as he walked back up stairs and to his sister's room. "I found the scissors." Kiba commented as he leaned over the stove and pulled them out of the wooden block. Hearing the delivery woman coming back, Naruto looked up to see her carrying a box slightly smaller than Kiba's, "Do you need help with that?" He asked the woman as she stopped walking in front of him, she shook her head no and placed it down gently as she took the electric pad from her hip, "No, but thank you, and sign here." She said as she handed the pad to Naruto, who took it and signed quickly, "Thank you for your patronage today, Mister Uzumaki, and you as well, Mister Inuzuka." She smiled and waved softly as she turned to leave. Naruto picked his package up and walked inside with it, slightly pushing the door closed with his foot.

Kiba walked back into the living room and around the couch, "Time to see what Hiashi sent us, don't you think?" Naruto nodded as he sat his package down with next to Kiba's. Watching his friend as he started to cut the tape, Naruto started to bounce a little in excitement, "Come on Kiba!" the blonde yelled in his friend's ear. The brunette face palmed Naruto and pushed him down onto the couch "Shut up Naruto, Yuki is just waking up!" he dropped the scissors and clamped his hands over his mouth as he cursed himself in his head for being so loud. Looking at the stairs hoping he didn't wake his daughter any more than she already was, Kiba lowered his hands from his mouth and picked the scissors back up and resumed cutting the tape. A few moments later, Kiba handed the scissors to Naruto as he pulled the flaps open. He looked at his friend who took the scissors and started to slice the tape along the top of the package, putting the scissors down he mimicked his friend and opened the flaps.

Both of them looked down into their packages, with twin gasps the two reached down into the boxes and pulled out guitar cases, both made of black vinyl material and metallic zipper. They looked at each other in disbelief as they held the cases in their hands, "Do you think?" Kiba started as he looked back at the case he held. "No, there's no way Hiashi knew about the record company, is there?" Naruto answered and asked his own question as Kado and Yuki came down the stairs to see their uncle and father. "Dad what is that?" Kado asked as he carried Yuki on his back and came down the stairs. Kiba looked up at his children and smiled, "This, these," he motioned to Naruto's and his new guitar cases, "are going to made us much happier." He said with a grin as he said as he put the case down and heard it something else in the box, "Kiba, I think there's something else in the box." Naruto said as he looked in his own box and pulled out a replica version of the old 1971 Gibson Les Paul his father gave him, he reveled in the memories of playing his old guitar as he looked over the new one in his hands. While Naruto looked over the guitar in his hand, Kiba reached down, looking down into the box, he smiled as he lifted a new Stratton Fender Guitar from the box and called Kado over, "This is a near perfect copy of the first guitar your mother gave me for our second year anniversary." Kado sat Yuki on the couch and went to move the box over, "Uh, dad, there's something else in here." He said as he leaned over and lifted another guitar out. Kado noticed it had a note attached to it as he handed the guitar to his father. "What's the note say dad?" He asked as he watched his father stare at the guitar.

Snapping out of his stupor, Kiba reached down and pulled the note from the strings and opened it, reading it aloud, "Dear, Kiba. If I and Hanabi have our dates correct, and remembered correctly, then by the time you open this, it will either be your birthday, or the day after. I just thought that, as your old manager, and with the news, I'm sure somebody has brought to your ears, you may need these. Have a happy birthday, Kiba, sincerely Hiashi and Hanabi Hyuga." Kiba put the letter down and looked over at Naruto, "Do you think that he remembered what each band member used to play?" Kiba asked Naruto in disbelief as he looked over the acoustic guitar in his hands, smiling even more now as he remember the first guitar he ever got, the one his mother gave him for his eleventh birthday. "I don't think so, but he did remember your birthday and like the note said he was our manager, so maybe he did?" Naruto asked in a questioned tone as he continued to look over the guitar. Kado now seemed confused as he sat down with his sister, "Dad, what are you talking about? You never played an instrument, have you?" He asked as he watched his father strum the guitar and leaned back on the couch.

"Kado, your father was one of the best guitarists in this part of the country, trust me, I would know." Naruto said quietly as he moved the box out of his way and sat down, putting the guitar on his lap as he threw the strap over his shoulder. "And how do you know that, uncle Naruto?" Yuki finally spoke up as she looked at her father and surrogate uncle. Naruto smiled as Kiba answered his daughter, "Because Yuki, I used to play acoustic and lead guitar for your uncle, back when you were a happy thought of your mommy and daddy's, even before your big brother was born." Kado head tilted and shook his head in disbelief, "Dad, used to play guitar in your band? And was the best in the country?" he asked with a snicker. "He was the best in this part of the country, young man." A new voice rang out from the opened door.

An older woman, in her early-to-mid fifties stood in the front door, a gentle smile laid on her lips as she looked at the small group, "Hello there everyone." The woman said. "Auntie Shizune!" Yuki yelled out as she jumped off the couch and ran to the woman. Naruto and Kiba both put the instruments down, looking towards the woman with happy smiles, "Shizune, did you know Hiashi was doing this?" Naruto asked as his happy, playful tone dropped quickly to a more serious one. She nodded and knelt down, lifting Yuki into her arms, "Yes, as a matter of fact I did know, who do you think gave him the idea?" she asked as she answered Naruto while hugging the young girl in her arms. Kiba looked at her and asked "So it was your idea for a reunion tour?" Shizune nodded as she put Yuki down, "Yes it was, is that a bad thing? And I don't get a hug, Kado? Are you too old to hug your aunt now?" she asked the teen with a feigned look of anger as she walked into the living room as Kado stood up and hugged the older woman.

"But how did you get our manager to get us a reunion tour without consulting any of us?" Kiba asked as Kado helped the elderly woman to the couch. "That's easy to answer, everyone else said yes already." Naruto and Kiba both looked at her, then each other, "Everyone else? Hinata agreed too?" Naruto asked as he picked the guitar back up and placed it on his lap as he sat down, adjusting it to balance the weight evenly on his thigh. "Yes, she was the first to agree, she said that she'd love to do it again, even just once, to relive the old days, before the band fell apart." Naruto nodded in acknowledgement as Kiba partly growled out, "We didn't fall apart! We broke up because…." he couldn't finish his reply, both Shizune and Naruto looked out down as Kado and Yuki just looked confused, "Because why, daddy?" Yuki finally asked to break the silence as she moved over closer to her father. "We broke up the band because your mother died, you were just born, and Kado was only a few years old." He answered the little girl and looked down at her, his eyes threatening tears as he tried to hold a façade smile of happiness for his daughter.

Kado stood up and walked over to uncle, "What happened?" was all he asked, making his uncle start to think. He rubbed his chin in thought before answering, "Honestly, I think your old man should answer that." Naruto looked over to Kiba who was about to speak before Shizune spoke up, "Why don't you start at the beginning?" she suggested hoping to turn the mood happier again, Yuki smiled and bounced on the couch, "Yea, yea daddy, tell us. Tell us." Kiba looked up at Kado, who nodded in agreement, "Yea, start with the beginning dad, how did you guys managed to form a band?" he asked as he sat back down on the couch with his sister and aunt. "Well, that's not exactly a quick answer, as Shizune knows, it was difficult, and tiring at first, wasn't it, Naruto?" Kiba looked over to the blonde who sighed, "You can say that again, fu….heck I can't recall a single night that wasn't tiring really."
