This is really nerve racking. Today is the day that Naruto and Hinata is coming over to my house. This has so many ways of going downhill. The most definite thing that's going to happen is that my mom is going to realize is where she's going and get pissed off. The question is whether or not she accidently gave me away in her frustration which probably wouldn't happen. Either way, that would have to wait since I had school today and I missed the ceremony.
When I was at the school, I entered the school with everyone else. After I went in and explained why I wasn't here for the ceremony at the front office, I went to my homeroom. I was surprised and happy to find Himawari in my homeroom class. Anyway, after homeroom, I went through my other classes as scheduled and was happy to find my sister in some of them. After school, I started walking home when I saw Himawari so I ran up beside her.
"Hey, you're Himawari, right?"
"Yes." She seemed a little shy but I still wanted to be nice.
"Where are you going?"
"Home." Such simple answers. I didn't want to press anything but I kind of wanted an actual conversation.
"Same, say you want to walk me home? It's really scary and I don't know if I could go by myself." Maybe a joke could get her talking.
"Are you making fun of me?" That didn't go as expected. She didn't sound angry though, she just sounded even more shy.
"No. Of course not. I was making a joke about me living in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention I don't have that many friends so I thought I could talk to you. You seem like a nice person."
"Oh, well, that's nice. But I've got to get home quickly because of the homework we got today." Well, it's a conversation so I'm good with it.
"Yeah, I've got to get home too. Their are some people coming over and I've got to get things ready."
"Who's coming over?" This is progress. Now she's asking the questions.
"The Hokage and his wife."
"Those are my parents." I put on a face of moc surprise to keep my cover.
"Is your brother Boruto by chance?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I hung out with him yesterday."
"That's nice, but I have to get home so see you tomorrow." It made me happy to get a little smile out of her but I also had to go.
"I should probably get going too, so see you later."
When I got village wall, there was Naruto and Hinata waiting for me. It made sense that I would have to lead them since neither knows where "Mogane Kume" lives. This was really going to suck since mom's going to figure out that I have not been staying away like she wanted me to. When I got to them I said hello to Naruto and introduced myself to Hinata since Shikadai did a horrible job.
After we greeted each other, we went off to go to my house. After a while, mom started to get nervous. It was only little things she did that tipped me off to the fact that she was nervous. It wasn't things that Naruto would notice. Then the house came into view and I thought she would die from nerves.
"Ok, here we are." At that exact moment, I looked mom dead in eyes and she was pissed. I gave her a look that said calm down and we won't get caught.
"So, Mogane, how was your second day at the academy?" It was Naruto who asked the question. Mom was still acting like she wanted to discover every nook and cranny but in reality, she was seething and didn't want to talk to me.
"Technically, it was my first day since I missed I missed the first."
"Why was that?"
"The police detained me for not being registered." This made mom tense up a bit.
"Yeah, I don't know why but they've started to bully newcomers. Anyway, are their jutsu you're good at?"
"Actually yeah. I'm good at the transformation jutsu, the shadow clone jutsu, and I'm good at genjutsu." Mom tensed up with every word. She would be mad at me for divulging information about my strengths and weaknesses. The thing is, every good lie is on a basis of truth. That way, you don't have a hard time with holes in your story.
"Well, that's nice. Have you made any friends here since you got here other than Boruto and Shikadai?" This time it was mom that said something. I wasn't sure if she was trying to discreetly gather information or if she was just making small talk to not seem out of place so I answered.
"Actually, I made friends with a girl named Himawari." When I said that, mom immediately had the realization of why I did what I did. I don't know how the Boruto thing didn't set it off but oh well.
"Himawari's actually my daughter." It was Naruto talking and there seemed to be something strange in his voice. It wasn't overprotective or angry. It was just off.
"She told me as much."
"Anyway, it's getting late. We don't want to make him late tomorrow do we Naruto?"
"Not to mention all the homework I got.
"Well, in that case, I won't keep you distracted from your work. I guess we don't want to make you so tired you look like a zombie. Well, Mogane, See you around."
"You too, and thanks for not turning me into a zombie." After that, they left, so I stopped my transformation jutsu and turned back into myself and went to sleep.
