Miss Independent Ch. 4

Discalaimer: I don't own naruto


"Hey Mom, We're home" Hinata said as they walked through the door.

"Hey kids, I'm in the kitchen" Their mother said from the kitchen.

Neji and Hinata sat their backpack by the door. They walked into their kitchen. Their mother, Hitomi was pulling out chocolate chip cookie out of the oven. She sat on them on the stove to cool. Neji kissed her on the cheek and Hinata hugged her. Hinata was the splitting image of her mother except her mom was taller.

The typical Hyuuga has long black hair but Hinata's hair is midnight blue. Hitomi is very sweet, compassionate and caring person. How she married their father is a mystery. He's cold, distant, nags a lot and complains a lot. Their mother doesn't like it that they talk bad about their father even if it is true.

According to her, he wasn't always like that. Every time they asked what happen, she would get a sad look and say to ask him. When they ask him, he would say that they're not ready to hear about it. They stopped asking because they knew that he wasn't going to tell them anytime soon.

"How was your day, you two?" Hitomi asked curious.

"Same as usual" Neji said shrugging.

"Some of my teachers are a little… out there but they're cool. I've made some friends" Hinata said smiling.

"Especially one in particular" Neji said snickering.

"Shut up Neji" Hinata said glaring at him.

"Who?" Hitomi asked smiling.

"No one" Hinata said blushing.

"Mmmhmm who is it, Neji?" Hitomi asked curious.

"It's Naruto Namikaze" Neji said smirking.

Hinata put him a headlock but Neji managed to get out. He walked the room, laughing. Hinata glared at him. She blushes when she realized her mom was smirking at her.

"What?" Hinata asked blushing.

"You have a crush on Naruto. He's cute" Hitomi said smiling.

"Mom, I don't like that. I just met the guy" Hinata said shaking her head.

"Sometimes it's love at first sight" Hitomi said sitting a plate with 2 cookies and a glass of milk.

"Well I don't believe you can fall in love at first sight" Hinata said biting the cookie.

"Why not? I fell in love with your father at first sight" Hitomi said getting a dreamy look on her face.

Hinata snapped her fingers in front of her mother's face. Hitomi snapped out of it.

"Mom, stay in this century" Hinata said smiling.

"I am in this century" Hitomi said snapping her fingers.

Hinata laughed. Her mom could always make her smile no matter how sad she is. That's what she loved the most about her mom. Hiashi walked in. He sees the cookies in front of Hinata and frowns.

"Hitomi, you shouldn't be feeding her cookies. You know about her diabetes" Hiashi said taking the plate away.

"Hiashi, calm down, these are sugar free cookies" Hitomi said taking the cookies away from.

"What? They don't taste like sugar free cookies" Hinata said surprised.

"It's a recipe that I found on the internet" Hitomi said setting them in front of her.

"She shouldn't be eating sweets"

"Hiashi, I'm her mother and I'll decide what she eats. You can't cook so go in your office" Hitomi said pointing at the door.

He snorted and walked out the door. Hinata is amazed on how her father allows her mother to talk to him. If it was her or Neji, they would have gotten a lecture on respect and things.

"Oh my goodness, your father is something else" Hitomi said shaking her head.

"I can see that handle and I live with that. These cookies are good thought, mom" Hinata said smiling.

"Thank you baby, what are your friends like?" Hitomi asked curious.

"I actually found a friend that's a diabetic. His name's Choji"

"Really? That's great. You should bring him by sometime" Hitomi said holding her hand.

"I will and I can't wait to go back to school tomorrow. I have homework to do" Hinata said going upstairs.
