Chapter 7

Fireworks

Kagome was extremely excited, she was going to get to see something called fireworks Shikamaru and Choji were going to be there and she was extremely excited! She wasn't sure what fireworks were, or what they did, but Shikamaru compared them to his clouds so they had to be worth watching.

"Daddy, what exactly are fireworks?"

"You'll see at the festival." Asuma smiled lightly.

"What's the festival for?"

"The creation of Konoha." Asuma snickered, his father would be extremely anger if he heard that question!

"Oh…Who made Konoha again?"

"The first Hokage."

"Oh…" Kagome finally stopped, she really didn't care about the first hokage.

She sighed, before she skipped along with her father though it was a bit hard, he'd made her wear a kimono and she didn't like it at all! But it was a cute kimono, with its small silver and blue sparrows flying about, with naked trees climbing the kimono allowing some of the small birds to land on branches.

Blinking, Kagome sighed, she'd gotten separated again. She was really good at getting lost, or misplacing her daddy. Huffing up into a pout, she yelped when she ran into someone, "Owwie."

"Neji-nii, are you alright?" A soft voice asked.

Kagome blinked to find two people who looked very much a like standing in front of her. One was a girl with extremely short hair, while the boy had long hair, both had light purple eyes, and purple tinged hair. They had to be Hyuuga's Kagome thought to herself, "Oh, Sorry about running into you." Kagome stated, blushing when the two turned those pupil less eyes on her.

Neji raised an eyebrow, she was….small…..tiny…..and very young. "Apology accepted."

Kagome sent him a very large happy grin.

"Ano….where is your mom or dad?" The girl asked.

"I don't know….I misplaced daddy again, and my mom didn't want me." Kagome stated, completely oblivious to the surprised looks on the adults faces. "I just wanted to see Shikamaru and Choji." Kagome pouted.

Hiashi and Hizashi shared a look, those had to be Chouza and Shikaku's brats. "We will accompany you there."

"Kay…" Kagome nodded, before settling in beside the older girl. They introduced themselves properly, as Hinata and Neji Hyuuga, they were cousin's and seemed to be extremely close. As they talked, Kagome found out that Hinata liked Cinnamon buns to the point of being rabid, while Neji did not…in fact Neji didn't have a whole lot to say. And Kagome wasn't certain if this was because he disliked her or if it was because he just didn't have anything to say.

"Nee, Kagome? Will your dad get mad at you?" Hinata asked, worried for her new friend.

"No….I misplace daddy a lot." Kagome replied.

Neji quirked an eyebrow….she kept saying that, "What do you mean?"

"Oh….Daddy says I get lost a lot…but I think I just misplace him."

Neji tried not to choke at this comment, while Hinata broke out into helpless giggles. Even the older Hyuuga's broke into small amused chuckles, Neji still not sure what to make of this asked, "In what way?"

"Well, like the time I tripped into a crate thingy and got shipped to the bad side of town and met Lee and Naruto and Banky. Or the time I met Shino….or Kiba….Kiba had to carry me to daddy….I don't think he has daddy scenes."

"Daddy scenes?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah….Spiderman has Spidy senses so don't Daddy's have Daddy senses?" Kagome asked, she'd gotten to watch the movie several days ago when she spent the night a Choji's with Shikamaru.

The muffled laughter of Hiashi and his twin grew, children really did say the darnedest things. Neji stared….that made a lot of sense…. His mom definitely had momma senses…she always knew when he was trying to sneak out to the Dojo.

Kagome suddenly grinned, before flying off tackling a tall boy with a pineapple hair style.

"Gah, Kagome…you're so troublesome….you saw me like yesterday." Shikamaru complained, before the weight was gone reattaching to Choji.

Choji just smiled, in amusement Kagome had clambered onto his back and seemed perfectly content to stay there. "Maybe I like Choji more than!" Kagome pouted.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, before waving at the Hyuuga cousin's "Well are you going to watch the Fireworks with us?" He asked.

The two youngster's looked up toward their father's who nodded, there would be no harm in sticking around.

"Kagome….how….why?" Asuma sighed, scratching his head. Damn, he looked like a bad father. Kagome was always sneaking of to go do or see something, anything that might get her into trouble or lost.

"I'm sorry I misplaced you daddy." Kagome replied with an amused grin on her small cute innocent looking face.

"You misplaced me?" Asuma asked, unsure how to feel about this new…..development.

"Yay..." Kagome grinned, she'd squirmed down from Choji's back and was happily rolling back and forth in the grass, seemingly mindlessly and heedless of her kimono.

"Kagome…..did Gai give you sugar before I picked you up today?"

"Hai, hai, hai, hai!"

Asuma groaned in agony, he was going to kill that blasted spandex suited idiot. Most of the parents glanced at him with sympathy.

"Kagome, stop rolling…you're going to mess up your kimono."

"Pfft, Daddy you know I don't mess up clothes." Kagome cheered, finally settling in between Choji and Shikamaru again. Who had settled on a picnic blanket, they were joined by Neji and Hinata, and the four tried to keep up with Kagome's hyper-excitement.

Asuma could only sigh in relief when the Fireworks started going off, completely taking up Kagome's attention. He would never allow Gai to babysit again….never, never ever again.
