Chapter 4
The new Siblings
Last time:
They get to their home and put the kids into bed, they had fall sleep halfway here. Then they go to their bed to sleep for the long day that they will have tomorrow.
And now we return to our story:
The next day Shinji was slowly waking up, he feel really rested and well, he hadn't sleep this well in weeks and even didn't have that recurrent nightmare where he see her mother died and his father abandoning him. He felt so relax and comfortable that he only wanted to stay in bed and keep hugging this warm pillow.
That's when his brain completely awake, wait a minute, pillows are not warm, but if it's not a pillow then what I'm hugging? That's when he remember all the events that he live yesterday, from his quiet normal morning, from him getting lost and depress, to the point when he was found by Naruto and meeting Kami and finally playing with Kushina and falling sleep with her, and that right now he was hugging her and not a pillow like he tough. He immediately get nervous and jump as far as he could heavily blushing, this make Kushina start to awake by the sudden movement and lose of warm, she slowly sit on the bed and start to rub her eyes to get rid of the laziness.
She realize that Shinji was at her side and after yawning she said "good morning Shinji onii-chan, did you sleep well?"
Shinji "Mo-morning Ku-Kushina-chan. I-I did sleep well, tha-thanks for letting m-me sleep in your bed." He nervously answer while looking to his feet.
"It was not a problem onii-chan, and now that we are siblings you can come here and sleep whenever you fell scare, lonely or you just want to sleep with me!"
Shinji blush even redder by Kushina's comment, but he inwardly though that it sound really good and he would do it again soon.
Kushina turn to see the clock in her room and seeing that it was early in the morning she look back at Shinji and tell him with a smile, "hey onii-chan want to help me and go to wake up mom and dad?"
"But Kushina-chan, won't they be mad if we wake them up?" asked a nervous Shinji.
"No they won't, I wake them all the time, and beside we are their children, they can be mad at us for that."
Kushina take Shinji's hand and drag him to the master room as quiet as they could, she carefully open the door without making a sound and both walk to the side of the bed and in an instant Kushina jump into the bed dragging a surprise Shinji and shout "WAKE UP mommy and daddy! it's MORNING!"
Despite how many times Kushina had wake them this way Naruto and Hinata always react the same way, their shinobi instinct take over and they both tried to jump out of the bed and get ready to fight, the key word being tried, because every time they collide in midair and fall hardly to the floor into suggestive positions, (think of how Rito from To Love Ru falls over Yami, or Haruna, or any other girl in that manga) this time Naruto fall on his back with Hinata's groin at his face, making both of them break apart and blush heavily when they realize the position they were.
Kushina was laughing her ass off while Shinji just look at the scene in front of him, he was a little embarrassed at how Naruto and Hinata had landed, but also confuse with all this. "Is this how families behave in this place? Or is this what normal families do and mine was the one that didn't do it."
"Kushina Uzumaki Hyuga! How many times have a told you to stop waking us like that! Do you want to be grounded for a week?" Said an irritated Hinata."
"Not to mention that if you continue to do this you will force me to prank you in retribution. Do I have to remind you what happen last time I prank you?"
"NO SIR! I will not do it again! Please don't Prank me, pleeeease!" Beg a scare Kushina remembering the last time Naruto prank her, she ended cover in a banana paste and chase by several monkeys that wanted to lick the bananas of her and tickle her in the process . Of course she wasn't in any danger since the monkeys were summon by Konohamaru who was willing to help Naruto like old times, but after that she hadn't eat or even get near a banana for months.
"Then stop jumping into our bed so you can laugh at us, but now that we're all awake we better get ready for the day, Hinata why don't you go and start making breakfast while I take the kids and give them a bath."
"But Naruto-kun it's not proper for a boy and a girl to bath together!" reprehend Hinata.
"But they are little kids Hinata, and from now on siblings so what is wrong with that, besides Shikamaru told me that Tonka and Shido always bath with him and Temari." He got closer to Hinata and whisper to her ear "or are you afraid that if they bath together they will end like those times we take a bath together and you feel kinky?"
"Na-Na-Natuto-kun! Don't say those things in front of the children!"
Naruto began to laugh "relax Hinata-chan, I was only messing with you.
As Shinji was seeing all this he couldn't stop thinking that while all this was really strange to him, but that it make him feel warm and cozy inside, and that he would enjoy being part of this family, so he decide to join the fun.
"If Kushina-chan can't keep waking you up like that can I do it instead?"
For a moment everyone was silent processing what Shinji just said, which make Shinji nervous.
"Yeah Shinji that's the spirit, now we can team up and prank mommy and daddy!" said an overly excited Kushina.
"What did you just say young lady? I seriously recommend you to think about that unless you want to be grounded until you graduate from the academy." Hinata reproached her daughter.
Naruto just look Shinji with a serious and emotionless face, making him feel a lot more nervous, until Naruto smile to him and said "Shinji, I can tell that you are going to fit perfectly in our family with that attitude, so Shinji embrace your inner prankster."
Hearing this Hinata hit him in the head, "NARUTO! You are not going to indulge our children to make pranks like you did when you were younger!"
"I'm sorry Hinata-hime, I promise I will not help them with any prank."
"That is not what I mean Naruto! Now promise me that you will not encourage Kushina and Shinji to make any pranks!"
"Ok I will not encourage our kids to do any pranks."
"Good, now take them to have a bath while I make breakfast"
"Come on kids you hear Mommy, lets go to take a bath." Said Naruto guiding Kushina and Shinji to the bathroom. He undress them and put them in the tub, he create a clon so he could bath both kids thoughtfully, when he finish he dry them and finally change them.
They all go downstairs where Hinata had finish to make a simple breakfast, only eggs, bacon and pancakes and milk and orange juice. They all eat while making small talk, mostly discussing what they should get for Shinji's would like for his room. When they finish Naruto made a clone and send him to work and take care of the paperwork for Shinji's adoption and his work at the office.
They go to the shopping district were they start by going to a furniture store where they purchase a bed, a desk, a pair of drawers and some lamps. After that they go to a clothes store, they buy Shinji a bunch of clothes since he didn't bring anyone of his clothes from his old home, they got him various sweat pants, shorts and t-shirts, some pajamas, including one with toads that Naruto chose, and they even buy for him a couple of formal kimonos for whenever he would need them. Finally they go to a toy store and let him go and chose whatever he like, he go around the store choosing some toys but not getting too many, he even get big plush version of Kurama that Kushina chose for him.
When all of their shopping was done and store in scrolls, Naruto took them to a paint shop so Shinji could chose the color he wanted his room would have, he surprise everyone when he chose a dark metallic purple (surprise surprise), and after a little discussion with Hinata and Kushina it was Naruto who said that it is Shinji decision and they should accept it, also he wasn't one to tell something to Shinji since in his childhood he like orange too much and to the date he still wear at least a little of orange, not only because it is his favorite color, but also to remember his parents.
They return to the Uzumaki House and start painting the room that will become Shinji's room, with Kushina and Shinji were having a blast by painting some childish things in the walls before Hinata and Naruto paint over them, by the time they finish it was already lunch time so they decide to go out to eat at Ichamaru's.
When they got to Ichamaru's they were greet by Ayame. "Welcome to Ichamaru's Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan and Kushina-chan, what will you have today? And who is the little boy with you?"
"Hello Ayame-chan, this is Shinji, where is your old man?" ask Naruto.
"I´m right here Naruto, it's been a long time since you had come here, is Hinata's food so delicious that you have forget about us?" said Teuchi.
"While Hinata's food certainly is delicious I could never forget your ramen, it's just that now that we have Kushina we have to check her diet."
"Don't worry kid I understand, besides you still come here from time to time so it´s not a big deal, and I see you bring someone else with you, what is your name little boy."
"Teuchi this is Shinji, an orphan boy that we bring to live with us, and now that my clone had finish all the paperwork for his adoption and now he is officially our son why don't we celebrate his adoption with an extra big bowl of miso ramen?"
"Yeah! Miso ramen! And after that could I have a pork ramen daddy?"
"Yes Kushina-hime, you can have all the ramen you want today, and you too Shinji."
Shinji look a t him with a confuse look and said "I never have ramen, is it good?"
Everyone was silent, "WHAT! You never had ramen BEFORE!" Everybody except Hinata shout.
Shinji timidly said no and Teuchi quickly prepare him a miso ramen and gave it to him, everybody stare at him in anticipation of his reaction, making Shinji really nervous, he hesitated before he take his first taste of ramen and he immediately froze in his place, nobody could see his face so they couldn't see his reaction, Teuchi and Naruto couldn't believe that someone would show no reaction at the ramen and start to think the worst, before anyone could ask Shinji if he liked the ramen he look up at everyone and with tears in his eyes he said "this is the best thing I have ever eat, why haven't eat this before, can we eat this all the time, please?!"
"YEEES, lets eat ramen everyday!" Shouted Kushina.
Everybody laugh at the antics of the children, "No kids, it's not healthy for you to eat ramen all the time, but you can eat it once in a while and in special occasions." Answer Hinata while giggling.
Teuchi serve everybody their bowls and they all keep eating and talking, after 24 bowls were eaten, 12 by Naruto, 2 by Hinata, 6 by Kushina, and surprisingly 4 by Shinji, Naruto took Shinji to the Hokage tower, where they would get the papers that make his adoption official, he also took this opportunity to talk to Shinji about what it is to be a ninja.
They get to the tower and went directly to the Hokage office, Naruto salute everybody politely while Shinji shyly follow him from behind. When they reach the hokage office Shikamaru was there waiting for Naruto.
"Hello Shikamaru, how have you being?" Asked Naruto.
"I was actually waiting for you, what were you thinking when you send a clone to do your work instead of you? You perfectly know that your clones hate to do paperwork! Do you realize how much trouble was to make him do your work? He keep prioritizing the adoption papers over everything else! And he probably would have dispel himself once that was done, so I have to force him to leave that to me while he do all the paperwork, it is a good thing that he put all his concentration and effort in your paperwork that he actually finish early! So I went to the roof and relax watching the clouds."
"Sorry about that Shikamaru, as a reward why don't you take the rest of the day and latter bring your family to have dinner in my house?"
"I will have to ask Temari first, but I seriously doubt she will say no, she will take any opportunity she has to don't cook, and if Hinata is cooking it will be a plus."
"Perfect, be at my house at 7 o'clock, and it will be a great opportunity for Shinji to meet other kids, are you exited of meting new kids Shinji?
Shinji replied nervously, "I-I don't know, what if they don't like me, and if they hate me?"
"Don't worry Shinji, Tonka will be very happy to meet you, she may tease you a little but she does that to everyone, and Shido will be ok as long as you don't either wake him up or take his food." Shikamaru reassure him.
Naruto take Shinji's adoption papers and said goodbye to Shikamaru and left a clone in the office in case he was needed in the office, then he and Shinji went home, only to find Hinata and Kushina talking to Hanabi and Konohamaru, with their son in her arms, they had have him 6 months ago and name him Sarutobi to honor the third Hokage.
"Hello Naruto nii-chan, where have you been?" asked Konohamaru, only to be reprehend by Hanabi.
"Konohamaru! Don't be rude and ignore little Shinji! Forgive my Husband Shinji-kun, he gets really excited in company of Naruto."
"Sorry Shinji-kun, I didn't mean to ignore you, so tell me, how are you adapting to your new family? Do you like it?"
"Yes I like it very much, everybody has been really kind to me."
"It is good to hear that Shinji, and I have a big new for you, your grandfather is going to come for dinner and meet you." Said Hanabi.
"My grandfather? But my grandfathers are dead and in the other world, or is Kami bringing him alive?"
Everybody was surprise at first by what he had said, but it make sense, he has only being part of Naruto and Hinata's family for a day.
"No Shinji, I mean Hinata and my father, who become your grandfather when you where adopted."
"Oh. Wait, I get to have a new grandfather!? Does I get a new grandmother too!? And when I will met Naruto's fathers?" Said a surprise and excited Shinji.
Everybody was quiet for a moment until Naruto answer Shinji, "sorry Shinji, Hinata's mother died when she was little, and my parents both died the day I was born."
Shinji regret asking when he hear that, Hinata had also lost her mother like him, and Naruto's case was even worse, he didn't get to meet his parents, at least he had some happy memories of his mother, but Naruto didn't, and that make him sad and ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring back bad memories, please forgive me for making you sad."
"Don't feel bad Shinji, you didn't know it, beside it is something that happen a long time ago and we all have move on." Reassure Hinata in a calm voice.
"Yeah Onii-chan, don't worry it´s all in the past, besides now you can meet grandpa and see how awesome he is!"
"Hey, aren´t your mother and me awesome?" Said an little annoyed Naruto.
"You and mommy are really amazing, but I see you all the time and grandpa always show me something amazing or tells me a really interesting story of you two!"
"Wait, What kind of stories have dad tell you?" Asked a worried Hinata.
"All kind of stories, my favorite one is when daddy fought that Pain guy and you jump to save him and confess your love!"
Hinata and Naruto blush a little when they remember that moment, it was that moment that could be considered the start of their relation, with Hinata finally confessing her feelings and Naruto starting to see her as more than a friend.
"Anyway, I also invite Shikamaru and his family for dinner, sorry I didn't ask you Hinata but it was something spontaneous, and I want to Shinji meet new kids."
Hinata sigh at this, it wasn't that she was mad at Naruto, he actually did this a lot, it was that she always worried that she wouldn't cook enough for everyone. "Okay, but you are going to being helping me in the kitchen."
"Alright Hinata, but remember that you prohibited me to use the stove, and oven, and the toaster."
A few years ago Naruto had caused a big fire in the kitchen when he got hungry at the middle of the night and try to make some snack, he tried to put it off but only manage to make it bigger, so after many failed attempts he use a water jutsu that not only put the fire off, but also destroy the kitchen and wake Hinata, after that Hinata banned him from entering the kitchen, and he slowly permission to enter the kitchen and use it, but Hinata still prohibited him to use the stove, oven and anything that could start a fire.
"Don't worry, you can still chop vegetables and do other things, just don't get near the stove or oven, and I mean it Naruto! I don't want to have to redecorate the kitchen again!"
Hinata and Naruto go to the kitchen and start cooking while Hanabi and Konohamaru watch the kids, at 7 o'clock Hiashi and Shikamaru and his family arrive, they introduce Shinji to everyone, he was really nervous at the beginning, but after a time he feel comfortable enough to talk to everyone and get to know them.
During the evening he learn that Hiashi, Hanabi and Hinata where part of the Hyuga clan, a noble clan in Konoha that have especial powers related to their eyes, and that Kushina and Sarutobi would probably develop when they grow up.
He tough that Hiashi act too stiff around everyone except her daugthers and grandchilds, and despite the fact that Hiashi told him that he wasn't a Hyuga and would never get a Bakugan, he told him that he would teach him the basics of the gentle fist if he prove to be worth it.
He confirm that Shikamaru was a lazy guy that like simple things, and that Naruto make his job a lot harder than what it should be. He also notice that he did everything his wife Temari told him, she was the one with the pants in the relationship and despite being bosy with Shikamaru she was sweet and kind to her children.
Tonka and Shido were the dauther and son of Temari and Shikamaru. Tonka was 5 years old girl with messy blond hair and a cocky attitude, much like her mother. She bombard Shinji with questions of where he come from, if he like his new family and other stuff, and contrary to Shikamaru's predictions she didn't tease Shinji even once.
Shido had turn 2 last week he look like a younger version of Shikamaru but with blue eyes, and despite not talking a lot it was clear that he understand everything they say to him, making him as smart as his parents, but also having that lazy ass vibe that all Nara's have, but not as much as his father.
Konohamaru was really friendly and he like him a lot, especially after he told him some adventures that Naruto had in his youth.
Hanabi was mix of Hiashi and Hinata, while she act royal and pompous at times she also was caring and loving, toward Shinji.
The last person he meet was the little Sarutobi, and all he could tell was that he was a joyful baby that laugh a lot.
After everybody finish eating, and then following talk end and everybody leave Hinata get to clean everything while Naruto take the kids to bed, after Naruto put him in his bed and say goodnight he was thinking that today had been a very good day, and that if every day from now on would be like this he would enjoy his new life.
He was almost sleep when he hear his door open and see that Kushina was entering, he ask her a little nervous when she get in bed at his side "What are you doing Kushina-chan?"
"What does it looks like! I'm keeping you company, so that you don't feel lonely in your new room!"
"Oh, I guess it's okay, goodnight Kushina-chan."
But she didn't respond with a goodnight, instead she told him "Shinji, stop calling me Kushina-chan all the time, we're brother and sister now so call me onee-chan."
"I-I will try, goodnight… oneechan."
"Goodnight onii-chan."
And with that Shinji and Kushina fall sleep after their first day as siblings.
