Hinata walked down the long twisting halls of her family home, it had been 2 and a half years since she first met her first and best friend Sakura Haruno. As time passed and Sakura stayed the night with Hinata, eventually Hiashi gave Sakura a room beside Hinata's. While in the Haruno home Hinata and Sakura virtually shared the same room, the Hyūga main compound was big enough to give Sakura her own room. The Hyūga clan guards eventually stopped questioning Sakura's presence at their gates and the clan itself grew used to seeing the giggling bob of bright pink floating through their compound.
"Sakura-chan are you ready?" Hinata asked as she stepped into the pinkette's room, smiling softly when she saw her friend pressing a lock of pink hair irritably against her forehead.
"You're not even dressed," Hinata giggled, closing the door and approaching her friend; her own blue long coat swished against the tatamati floor in a soft whisper. Hinata was dressed in her clan's signature pale tan, her kimono edged in violet and blue butterflies; her obi was white with bright sky blue flowers and a snowy white cord. Her coat that she chose to wear over her kimono to keep her warm for the winter was as deep a blue as her hair with little violet butterflies fluttering against it, making the coat look like a stream at midnight from a distance.
"I'm sorry Hinata," Sakura grumbled, looking up at her blue haired friend. "I've brushed and brushed my hair a hundred different times but it still won't do what I want it to do."
"Trying to braid your hair again?" Hinata asked with a grin, Sakura pouted up at her. "Let me try, then we can get you dressed."
"Thank you Hinata-chan!" Sakura squealed wrapping her arms around her friend. Since the hair cut incident, Sakura and Hinata had made a deal: They would grow their hair out together. Hinata was surprised when the three girls responsible still had neon pink hair even after six months, looking as if they've always had pink hair. After a year she was completely impressed with the special die that had yet to leave and seemed to tint the roots as they grew out; after two years with no changes, Hinata was convinced that Tayuya and Fubuki had somehow managed to distort the gene in the three's hair.
"Fishtail or normal?" Hinata asked as she pulled a comb through Sakura's hair. After two years both girl's hair ended just above their elbows, Hinata figured that Tayuya and Fubuki had a hand in their hair growing so fast (it had to be the home made shampoo the two were boosting about a few months back, there weren't any other options).
"Can you do a fishtail?" Sakura asked curiously, obviously wondering if Hinata knew how. Hinata smiled at the mirror in front of Sakura, easily raking her fingers through the soft strands of the pinkette's hair and separating them just as easily. Hinata hummed softly as she folded strips of Sakura's hair over each other, pulling and tugging gently. In record time for Hinata, Sakura's hair was braded, leaving only her shorter bangs to frame her face annoyingly. She had tried to pull them out of Sakura's view, but some strands are more stubborn then others, as it was she had managed to pull Sakura's bangs back in a gentle sweep, intertwining what she could into the thick braid.
"Thank you!" Sakura shouted, jumping to her feet and hugging Hinata tightly
"Do you need help with the kimono?" Hinata asked, laughter dancing in her pale eyes
"Nope," Sakura grinned at Hinata, remembering the first time they had met "I remember how! I can finally do it myself!" Hinata smiled and waved a hand out towards Sakura's hanging kimono, waiting patiently to be used. It wasn't that different from Hinata's in terms of design, Sakura's was just red with flowers instead of off-white with butterflies.
"I have to thank your dad," Sakura said as she pulled the first layer on, a smile twisting her features "I didn't know anyone could make my clan crest look so beautiful," chuckling Sakura lifted her sleeve for Hinata's view. The white flowers wove together with little green leafs and a deep dark red that was supposed to look like the limbs of a tree. The deep maroon curls of the branches, the gentile swirl of silver leaves and the beautiful whirls of the white flowers all formed large and small circles, hidden well with the elegant design. It was something Hinata knew her father had wanted to give to Sakura; she was one of the few people he trusted with his daughter outside of the clan. He no longer picked Hinata up at the Haruno house; he simply left a note at the Haruno house the nights that Hinata didn't come home, telling Hinata when to return and to do so safely.
"Happy seventh birthday," Hinata smiled, Sakura gasped and snapped around, her eyes wide as she tried to fight a smile from her face.
"Is that what he was trying to tell me earlier?" Sakura asked, letting her whimsical smile stretch wide into a bright and blinding smile that Hinata had steadily grew used to. Hinata nodded in agreement, not surprised that her father had tried to tell Sakura but ended up not saying the words he wanted to. Hiashi was just as impaired with showing affection as Hinata was at speaking in front of large crowds, she rarely spook at a normal volume when she wasn't with Sakura.
"You missed a tie," Hinata grinned at Sakura, stepping forward and quickly fixing the mistake.
"I hadn't gotten there yet," Sakura grumbled at Hinata. She raised her arms anyways, when Hinata got into the habit of fixing something, she typically didn't let anyone help. Hearing a soft knock on the door, Hinata turned as it opened, revealing her younger sister Hanabi and her elder cousin, Neji.
"Are you ready, Hinata-sama?" Neji asked coldly, still mad at her for the death of his father. Hinata flinched at the tone of voice and nodded, she opened her mouth to speak when she saw her little sister stumble forward.
"Sissy!" Hanabi giggled, smiling as brightly as any two year old could. Hinata smiled softly and hurried forward to catch her wobbling little sister, her mother wouldn't be happy with her if she let Hanabi get hurt. The thought hurt but not nearly as much as the thought of disappointing her deceased mother, who died trying to bring Hanabi to term.
"Sakura-san are you ready?" Neji asked politely, turning his milky white eyes on the pinkette.
"Yes I am," Sakura smiled, her answer surprising Hinata. Turning from where she held Hanabi's hands steadily, Hinata stared at the obi that was wrapped tightly around Sakura's waist, the golden rope in place.
"That's strange Sakura-san," Neji said, tilting his head to the side curiously, "You usually have trouble with the belt."
"Well I didn't this time," Sakura pouted at him, her shoulders slumping slightly.
"Then if you're both ready," Neji said turning away from the three so that he could return to the party taking place in the gardens. "Please hurry, everyone's waiting for you."
"Turn and let me see," Hinata ordered when Neji was out of sight, Sakura grinned and did as she was told, revealing the crocked back piece.
"See? I can tie my own belt!" Sakura said cheerfully, turning to go out the door.
"Not," Hinata commented, turning Sakura back around and fixing the belt properly, "How are the ties?" Hinata asked turning her friend back around and examining the front piece critically.
"Hinata-chan are you dressing me up like a doll again?" Sakura asked with a smile, when it came down to it, Hinata was more of a girl then Sakura was at times. When it was time for the both of them to get dressed up, for the plays at the academy, the performances of the music school or the monthly clan get-togethers, Hinata often dressed Sakura up. When Sakura had asked Hinata one time about it, Hinata informed her that Sakura was like the perfect doll when she wanted one.
"Only on days like today," Hinata agreed with a smile, pulling a loose strand back into the kimono, hiding it from view. She gently tugged and pulled at the edges of the kimono, making sure it was tight enough to stay in place but loose enough to let Sakura breath. The last time the kimono was too tight, the pinkette passed out on the stage in the middle of a performance. Luckily, Hinata and Sakura had been placed at the edges of the second row in the performance, close to the curtain. Hinata had literally pulled Sakura off stage too fast for most people to notice, the only exceptions being their relatives, the other musicians and those in the audience who had a very good eye.
"Sissy!" Hanabi whined from where she sat on the floor, glaring up at Sakura, "My sissy!"
"Of course Imoto," Hinata chuckled glancing back at her sister as she picked up Sakura's crimson silk coat, nearly identical to her own but again with flowers instead of butterflies. Hanabi pouted as Hinata wrapped the coat around Sakura's shoulders, showing her how to wear it with the long sleeves of her kimono.
"There all done," Hinata chimed, stepping back from Sakura as Hanabi cheered. Sakura giggled, raising her hand to brush back a lock of hair. She froze when she saw something dangling from her wrist, she didn't remember putting it on.
"Come on Hanabi, ups-a-daisy!" Hanabi giggled as Hinata pulled her to her feet, smiling she turned to see that Sakura had noticed the bracelet she slipped on her earlier. It was a simple silver chain with little trinkets evenly spaced on it: there was a crimson teardrop, a silver flower, a snowflake, a crimson cat eye, a silver crescent moon and a tiny yellow sun.
"Thank you!" Sakura cried out, wrapping her arms around both Hyūga sisters, tears dropping from her eyes and splashing on Hanabi's head, making the younger girl slightly panicked. "Thank you, thank you so much Hinata-chan."
"It's your birthday today," Hinata sighed, patting Sakura on the back and whipping the tears from her cheeks. "That was our gift to you, a gift from the Hyūga clan."
"I'll never forget it," Sakura whispered holding her wrist close. "I'll wear it always, I wont ever take it off."
"You will on missions," Hinata laughed gently pulling Sakura towards the door. "After we graduate, we can't wear bracelets like that. Especially on missions, it'll get ripped apart."
"Then I'll find away," Sakura grinned stepping out of her room, holding one of Hanabi's hands while Hinata held the other.
"You two ready?" Hinata and Sakura jumped at the voice, looking up the hall they saw Neji leaning against a nearby corner. "Took you both long enough, I'm supposed to escort you both, remember?"
"S-sorry," Hinata apologized lowering her gaze in apology to Neji.
"Glad to see you're feeling better," Sakura grinned when Neji frowned at her in confusion. "Come on Neji, it's a party! Loosen up!"
Neji rolled his eyes and lifted off the wall, silently telling them to fallow. Hinata sighed and Sakura grinned, together they both made their way down the twisting halls and to the garden. All three girls flinched when the door opened and fridge cold hit them hard, they pulled their coats tighter and followed the older boy closely. Neji lead the way to a close group as if the cold air that brushed against him didn't affect him.
Itachi and Sasuke were huddled together behind their parents and Sakura's siblings (Fubuki, Tayuya and Naruto) were huddled close together just behind Mebuki and Kizashi. Although the Haruno's didn't legally adopt him, Naruto had his own room beside Itachi's in the Haruno house and spent more time with them then he did at the orphanage. Much to Fubuki's irritation and Tayuya's occasional joy, Tayuya and Naruto often went out and pulled pranks on anyone who happened to make Naruto mad or sad or if someone said something mean about their family. It was the only thing the two had in common, when they weren't working together to wreck havoc on some unfortunate soul, they were found arguing loudly.
"Uncle, we're here," Neji said as he walked passed, not stopping as he spoke. Hiashi sighed as Neji continued into the garden, heading towards the far corner where he could watch everyone present in silence.
"Father, we're ready," Hinata called as she stopped before Hiashi, smiling when Sakura launched herself at the man laughing as he stumbled.
"Thank you for the dress!" Sakura grinned up at Hiashi, a bright blush staining her cheeks. "And the bracelet too! Do you know of everyone who helped with it? I want to thank them!"
"Unfortunately I don't know," Hiashi answered with a pointed look at Hinata, not sure if he should be happy that she told Sakura about the dress and curious about the bracelet that Sakura spoke about, he wasn't aware about the bracelet Sakura spoke of.
"Well then I'll just have to thank everyone here!" Sakura said cheerfully, extracting herself from the man and turning to her mother. "Mom is my violin here? I don't remember if I brought it."
"It's by the table," Mebuki answered with a smile, "You want me to get it?"
"Not right now," Sakura answered shaking her head, "Before everyone leaves, I would like to play a song for everyone..." Sakura trailed off as a thought occurred to her. "Fu-nee can I ask for your help? I can't sing..."
"Sure what song do you want?" Fubuki asked, smiling at Sakura. "Is it 'butterfly' again?"
"Maybe..." Sakura answered thoughtfully, "I was thinking the 'I am' song that mister sings..."
"I think the 'butterfly' song would be a better choice," Tayuya giggled, shivering beside Naruto.
"Plus you can play it by your self," Naruto chimed with watery eyes and a wobbly smile, Naruto had always loved the snow but he hated it when it got his clothes wet and dragged him down; like now he felt like he was fighting off a particularly bad cold. "It's a violin piece; you don't need anyone up there with you." Sakura thought about it for a moment before she nodded and smiled at the blond boy cheerfully.
"Great idea!" Sakura grinned, nearly bouncing in place. "Before everyone leaves I'll play that piece for everyone! Thanking everyone for both the party and the bracelet!" The group laughed, Mebuki stooping to lift Sakura high into the air. It was pure luck that the day of the clan celebration just so happened to land on Sakura's birthday and that the Hyūga clan was housing it this time around. The Haruno's gathered together, laughing together with the grinning Hyūga's and chuckling Uchiha's; all unaware of the pair of pale eyes watching from afar.
Neji sighed as he watched the group tighten around each other, their children in the center, the smaller ones being held by their parents. He crossed his hands inside the sleeves of his own Kimono, trying to keep his hands warm. Neji stiffened as the fingers of his right hand brushed against something small and square in his left sleeve, pulling the small object out Neji glared at the little yellow box that was hidden in his sleeve pocket. Glancing up at the group, just to make sure they didn't notice the red bow on top of the box, Neji twitched as he locked gazes with a pair of pure white eyes staring at him over the shoulders of her father. Neji glared at Hanabi warningly as he stuffed the tiny box back into his sleeve, hiding it from sight. Hanabi pouted at him and turned around in her father's hold, looking at the others surrounding her.
Hanabi had seen him buy the present a month before, he didn't know if she still remembered it, but he knew she knew that he had planned to give it to the pinkette as a birthday present. He had told her to be quiet about it, that it was a surprise, she giggled and quickly agreed—with the condition that he buy her a new stuffed animal. So far, she hadn't said anything to anyone about the present (either of them, her stuffed animal counted even if it didn't go to the pinkette) and Neji figured that Hanabi had simply forgotten all about the little yellow box.

A few hours later
…
…
Neji glared out his bedroom window, the party was a success as both a clan celebration and a birthday party. However, he didn't get to give his present to the birthday girl. Neji's glare increased as he watched the pinkette leave the compound with her parents, sleeping on her father's shoulder. She had played a violin peace before the party was over, surprising everyone at the party.
After words, Neji decided to give his gift to her as she approached the gift table with Hinata and Hiashi on either side of her; he ended up behind her when she made her declaration.
…
"So only the people I know gave me presents today?" Sakura asked Hiashi curiously
"That was the plan," Hiashi agreed, brining a smile to Sakura's face
"That's great!" Sakura said not noticing the boy standing behind her, a present in hand. "Presents from strangers are creepy!
Neji turned right around and marched away from the girl, he swore that the adults were laughing because they saw him approach and then promptly leave after her declaration. Tayuya and Fubuki all but fell over as they laughed, a few nearby adults were grinning and chuckling together, a few others were shifting nervously and some were glaring at their feet or the person next to them. They properly didn't know the girl but had gotten her presents anyways and after such a declaration they didn't know if they should give it to her and be misunderstood or not give it to her and possibly get scolded by their wives.
…
Thinking back, that was a very logical way of thinking. Accepting things from strangers could be dangerous, especially to children who don't understand the double meaning behind some people's presents.
"Neji are you there?" Neji turned at the sound of his mother's voice, he quickly closed the box he had been toying with and quickly stuffed it under his pillow; straitening just as his mother opened the door.
"Have you been up here the entire time?" She asked leaning against the doorway tiredly
"No mother, I went down stairs for a while," Neji answered as he hurried towards his mother, supporting her weight as she swayed dangerously. "You shouldn't be out of bed, you need your rest."
"Don't be silly," the woman giggled, fighting another yawn, "You're father used to make me get up and walk around the house all the time."
"You were pregnant with me," Neji reminded his mother with a sigh
It was rare in the Hyūga clan but some members were just naturally weaker then the others. Some, like his mother, were so weak that they were lucky to make it to their twentieth year. His mother was pushing forty; he wouldn't be surprised if she passed away in her sleep soon. It'd be sad but not surprising, his mother was the only reason he hadn't moved in with his uncle yet. When she was gone, there was nothing to keep him in the branch sector of the compound; his uncle would properly ask him to move in with him and his family. He had asked before, saying that his mother could move in as well, that she'd get better care in the main house but Neji reminded him that the main house was not only far away, too far for his mother to get to without passing out or getting worse, but also further away from the doctor and even the hospital, where she needed weekly check ups.
"Did Sakura-chan enjoy her present?" his mother asked as she climbed into bed, smiling as Neji pulled the blankets up to her chin. "Did she like the bracelet?"
"She loved it," Neji smiled at her, glad that he had snuck it to Hinata with a small note to give it to Sakura. "Claimed that she'd never take it off."
"Hmm... dangerous for a kunochi," She mumbled sleepily "I can't wait for next year... think I'll be stronger next year?"
"Maybe," Neji smiled at his mother, "What do you have planned?"
"A necklace," She yawned tiredly, her eyes closing sleepily, "To... go wi-ith... th-thos ear-rings..."
Neji sighed as a soft snore escaped his mother's mouth; he swore that she hadn't seen it when he was trying to wrap it the previous day but then again, she did give him the box for the earrings along with the bow and string. He slowly rose to his feet and quietly left his mother's room, closing the door and walking down the hall silently.
I'm sorry mother, Neji thought as he entered his room and flopped on his bed. I don't think you'll see her next year...
Neji pulled out the box from under his pillow and flipped it open. Inside was a pair of simple pure silver crescent moon earrings, they weren't expensive at all but were of high quality. Neji didn't understand why he had the sudden urge to buy them but he did and there was no going back on them now.
He would just have to try again next year

A few months later

…
Mebuki and Kizashi chatted softly with Fugaku and Mikoto all four waiting outside the Academy doors beside the only tree in front grounds of the academy; Sakura, Hinata, Sasuke and Naruto beside them chatting cheerfully. The bell rang and the two families snapped to look at the academy doors, the final bell hadn't stopped ringing before the doors burst open and Tayuya ran straight for them grinning widely with Itachi close behind her.
"We passed!" Tayuya screamed out, wrapping Sakura and Naruto in her arms as she skidded to a halt, Fubuki, Mebuki and Kizashi soon joining in the dog-pile of hugs. The Haruno family laughed together, faces glowing proudly and voices ringing together in laughter. The Uchiha's weren't much better then the Haruno's, Itachi had stooped to lift Sasuke into his arms and Mikoto had simply wrapped her arms around all three of her boys, the only Uchiha in the group mimicking the Haruno's beside them almost perfectly.
"Who're your teammates?" Naruto asked excitedly
"Yeah Nee-chan, who are your teammates?" Sakura asked, bouncing excitedly in her sister's arms.
"Well... I'm sure you can guess one of them," Tayuya said glancing over her shoulder at the Uchiha's there.
"Itachi?!" Naruto and Sakura asked together, bouncing excitedly
"Ita-nii is on you're team?!" Sakura asked loudly making Tayuya laugh as she leaned back, trying to brace herself with her palms pressed against the ground.
"Is he really?" Naruto asked a smile splitting his face in half.
"Yup!" Tayuya grinned when both children in her lap cheered for joy, leaping from her lap to dance in circles together; quickly making Hinata join them before dragging Sasuke into the dance when Mikoto let go of Itachi so he could put Sasuke down.
"Who's you're third member?" Fugaku asked, scanning the crowd curiously, Tayuya and Itachi shared a look, one that said that neither one of them were practically happy with their third teammate.
"Another girl," Tayuya grumbled, nearly whining to her parents. "I thought it was supposed to be two boys and a girl? Why dose our team have to have two girls? Almost three?!"
"Who are you calling a girl?" Itachi asked with a warning look to the pinkette still sitting on the ground; Tayuya didn't look at Itachi, choosing instead to turn away and chuckle humorlessly at no one in particular.
"Cut your hair and no one would mistake you for a girl," an amused, cocky voice called out, stilling the two families. Fugaku turned with a lifted eyebrow (he did have long hair but not nearly as long as his wife's or son's), watching amusedly as both Tayuya and Itachi glared at the approaching kunochi.
"I'm Hana Inuzuka," the girl grinned at Fugaku and Mikoto, before glancing down at Tayuya, "and I was talking to you pinky."
"Why you-you" Tayuya jumped to her feet a snarl on her face, Tayuya stopped her angry shouting to look down at her side. Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata were all paying very close attention to what she was going to say next; likely memorizing everything happening at that moment.
"...I hate you," Tayuya growled out instead, ignoring the growling of the three almost puppies standing just behind a very smug looking Hana.
"Not that thrilled about you either," Hana smirked back, canines glinting. She knew Tayuya couldn't say anything to curl in front of her parents and especially not in front of her siblings.
"Hana be nice to your teammates," Tsume scolded as she approached with Kiba behind her, riding her own wolf. "I should hope you're not doing anything to set our clans on edges with each other."
"No, just our children," Mebuki chuckled, pulling Naruto and Sakura close, letting Hinata hide behind her while Sasuke scurried to his parents. "It's been awhile Tsume, how have you been?"
"I've been well," Tsume answered nodding politely at the blonde, knowing that Mebuki meant well but was still distrusting of Kuroon, her black wolf partner. Mebuki never did forgive him when he accidentally turned on her when they were young; the scar on her upper right leg only strengthened her reason for putting space between the children and Kuroon. Tsume understood and couldn't find it in her to be irritated, even Kuroon was still trying to show Mebuki that he regretted what he did to her.
"Cute kids, funny how they all look like their father." Tsume grinned as she pointed at her hair, winking amusedly at Mebuki. "But they have your eyes. I'm surprised, Green eyes are pretty rare."
"Pink hair just as much so," Kizashi agreed smiling at his wife as he pulled Fubuki and Tayuya close, showing just how close their hair truly was. "How's you family doing? The pound alright?"
"I can't tell if that was an insult or not," Tsume replied calmly, physically frowning at him but mentally grinning; she always did like making him squirm.
"...I didn't mean for that to sound like an insult," Kizashi answered, scratching the back his neck nervously.
"Mebuki, why did you ever choose him over my brother?" Tsume asked with a smirk, cocking a hip and raising an eyebrow at the blonde. "You do know that he still likes you right?"
"Wait what?!" Hana's voice cried out, stilling the parents as everyone turned to see her slightly panicked expression. "Mom are you saying that there was a chance for me to be related to that?!" Hana asked pointed at Tayuya meaningfully.
"Move your hand before I bite it off," Tayuya growled out, snapping her teeth for good measure. Hana jerked her hand back fast enough to nearly slap herself, her wolfs were growling and it wasn't long before Hana was doing the same.
"Now she'd make a great Inuzuka!" Tsume laughed, wrapping one arm around her stomach, "No questions about who her mother is, that's for sure!" Tayuya smirked up at Mebuki, then frowned when she saw that both of her parents were frowning at Tsume in slight confusion.
"You're not planning on having your son woe my Tayuya are you?" Kizashi asked with a raised eyebrow and pointed look at the disgusted look the eight year old had on.
"Mom! Please say no!" Kiba whined to his mother, his eyes wide with the memory of what happened to Ai and her friends flashing behind his mind's eye. Anyone but that maniac!
It's been two years since the die Jutsu was performed on the three bullies' hair and it was just now starting to fade away. It didn't just end like most hair dye did when the roots started to grow, for an the past two years the three girls had to live with the fact that their hair had been genetically altered to that specific shade of neon pink. Once this year was over and Tayuya's chakra had faded from their hair, the three girl's original hair color would started to show again, after another year the three would be able to cut their hair so that the pink no longer showed. Unfortunately, the short dark locks of their original hair color would be so short they would look completely ridicules; in other words it would take about two more years for them to have their normal hair back
"Don't worry you're too young," Tsume replied ruffling her son's hair reassuringly, "I was thinking about one of your cousins."
"Absolutely not!" Tayuya shouted, looking horrified at a different Inuzuka standing with his parents on the other side of the grounds, as if to reinforce her disgust the boy turned to the side and launched a logy into another girl's hair as she passed, at least his parents started punish him for it. "I'd rather marry Itachi then him!" Tsume glared at Mebuki, who was looking at the Uchiha couple warningly. Kizashi was chuckling and clapping Itachi on the shoulder, saying loudly that he already had his blessing; much to the boy's confusion.
"I recall a certain woman saying something similar years ago," Tsume said staring pointedly at Mebuki.
"It was a long time ago," Mebuki said coughing to clear her voice, "Let's not make any comparisons now, it might not happen..."
"You said that a long time ago!" Kizashi laughed hugging his wife and pulling Tayuya close as well, "Look what happened after fifteen years of trying!"
"Do I want to know what these three are talking about?" Tayuya asked Fubuki, who was smirking amusedly at her.
"Properly not," Fubuki answered, glancing at Mikoto mischievously. The older black haired woman was grinning at her in a similar fashion; clearly, plans were already forming in their heads.
"Mother please don't," Itachi sighed beside his parents, Sasuke looking up at him curiously.
"Too late~" Mikoto chimed, leaning into her husband's side, grinning like a cheesier cat.
"Why do I feel like I just signed my own warrant?" Tayuya asked tilting her head to look at her older sister. Fubuki snorted and quickly wrapped a hand around her mouth, the corners of her eyes watering with her determination not to laugh.
