Chapter 4

The Picnic

Neji entered the room and Hinata was playing with Naeko. She let out a gasp. Naeko hide and Hinata started to talk with Neji.

Why are you here? Hinata asked.

I'm here because Hiashi sent me. Neji said.

What does he wishes to tell me? She asked.

Hn, I got no idea. Neji answered.

Then he got out of the room.

Just as I thought she has a pet. It's not fair, pets aren't allowed here.

Hinata then went to sleep.

Morning came and light reached Hinata's face. Then she looked at the clock hanging on the wall. She had overslept it was 9:00 am.

Ohh no I'm late. She thought.

Then she hurried herself and got a bath and then got dressed; took a basket full of food. Naeko smiled at her on her way out of the mansion; then got on Hinata's arm. Hinata smiled and continued walking. When she last saw the clock it was already 9:30 am and the picnic was scheduled for 10:30 am. Hinata had to hurry to the park. On her way to the park she met up with Kiba and Akamaru.

Hi Hinata, mind if I join you walking to the park? Kiba asked.

No I don't mind. Hinata said.

Then as they kept walking, Akamaru started talking to Naeko.

Hi. Akamaru said.

Hi, what's your name? Naeko asked.

My name is Akamaru. What's yours? Akamaru said.

My name is Naeko given to me by my friend Hinata.

So are you going to participate at our picnic too? Akamaru asked

Yes. She replied.

They all continue heading towards the park until Kiba asked:

So where did you met this Naeko? Kiba asked.

Hmm, you know her name why? Hinata asked.

Akamaru told me her name. He said.

Ohh, well we met in a forest close to the Hyuga's mansion we became friends and then she became my pet.

Good story you too have there. It's nice when an animal gives you his loyalty and friendship sometimes it can be valued more than a friendship of a human.

Hinata looked at him and nods her head up and down. After a while they reached the place. Shino and Kurenai were already there. They started placing their food on a mat and the site on it they placed some picnic baskets.

It's been a while since we been together like these. Kurenai said.

Yes, it's been a long time since we stopped to get a rest together. Shino said.

I feel ready for eating already. Kiba said.

Hinata why had you been so quiet? Kurenai asked.

Ohh, so..rry I was thin..king I had be..en feel..ing ha..ppy lat..ely, and it's so ni..ce. Hinata said.

Good for you. Shino said.

Shino stop being so cold. Kurenai said.

Ok. Shino said.

Don't worry much; let's eat and enjoy the moment. Hinata said.

At last let's eat; I'm getting hungry. Kiba said.

They opened the basket and got out curry, ramen, etc; and started eating.

They played many games and talked over hours. Hinata had never feeled so happy with her friends than this. Night came and then the group realized that it was getting late.

Well it's getting late this was a great day kids. Kurenai said.

Yes it was I ate to my heart contents. Kiba said.

It was more than an average day to me. Shino said.

Thanks for all guys. Hinata said.

Bye, dear Naeko it was a pleasure meeting and talking with you.

The pleasure is mine. Naeko said.

Then Naeko and Hinata like all days went to their home but this time with a smile at there face and love in their hearts.
