A/N: Okay so here is the new chapter lol I hope that you guys like it!
Chapter 26- Meeting the Family prt.2
There was nothing but silence between the three brothers as they walked down the silent halls of their home. Hachiro wanted nothing more than to run away from this, to run away from his father. He and his father never had a perfect relationship, defiantly not the one that Hachiro longed for. His father barely talked to him, and when he does he never truly talks to him. His father would usually berate him and criticize him whenever he made a mistake or fail at something. Hachiro felt that he was somewhat of a disappointment to him, like he was nothing but failure. Hachiro knew that he could never reach the standards that his brothers and sisters have reached but he didn't believe that his father had the right to treat him the way that he treats him. He wanted his father to for once acknowledge him for the things he can do and not to always criticize him for the things that he cannot do. The three stopped in front of a dark brown wooden door.
"Chibi you ready?" Hachiro looked up at Akihiko and sighed.
"I guess….." Hachiro said with a downcast gaze to the ground. Akihiko looked at his brother and sighed. He knew that this was something that Hachiro did not wanted to do but he knew that he had to; he was his father after all. Akihiko nodded and softly nodded on the door in front of them and waited for a response. Eventually they heard a muffled come in and slowly opened the door. Hachiro forgot how organized his father was when it came to his office. It was full of all different types of scrolls and documents neatly placed on shelves. The floor was polished wood and the walls were a tan like color. 'Nothing has changed….' On the other side of the room was an old but well-kept desk with papers neatly piled and an older man with dark brown hair and a very masculine yet slightly aged face. The man looked up and gave a small smile to his sons.
"Why hello Akihiko and Hideo, what do you need?" Hachiro frowned and looked away. HE didn't even take the time to great him.
"Hey Dad…." Akihiko waved to his father.
"Hello to you too Father." Hideo bowed and looked over at Hachiro then his father. "Hachiro has returned from his mission." Hideo motioned for Hachiro to step forward. His father's smile slowly decreased and a serious look fell on his face.
"Hachiro, I did not see you there." His father stood up. "It is good to see that you are back from your mission." Hachiro frowned at his father.
"Yeah Dad…." Hachiro spoke softly. His father nodded and cleared his throat.
"I hope that you have worked on your skills during your travels, knowing how behind you are compared to your fellow shinobi." His father said with a minimum of no emotion in his voice. Akihiko frowned at his father and rolled his eyes. How can a man treat his own son in such a way that he's basically beating him down with his words and treating him as if he's a complete failure?
"Yes Father….I have…."
"From the looks of it I do not see much of a change…" Hachiro felt his heart decrease and his mood lower at his father's words. "Well, I shall see you at dinner then." Hachiro nodded and turned on his heel and walked out of the room. Hideo sighed and turned to his dad.
"Father, why are you so cold towards Hachiro?" Hideo felt that he needed to ask.
Akihiko nodded and crossed his arms. "Yeah Dad what's up?" Their father turned to them and shook his head.
"A child should stay in a child's place."
Akihiko rolled his eyes. "Well I don't know if you've noticed Dad but we haven't been children in a while." He said then faced away from his father. "And neither has Hachiro…." He walked out with Hideo following after him, feeling that his brother has already said what he wanted to say. Their father sighed and sat back down in his desk to continue his work.
Hinata's Respite
Hinata must admit she never would have thought that Hachiro would live in such a large home. The floors were perfectly polished without a speck of dust in site and the rooms, at least from what Hinata could see, were all well organized and clean. Their dojo was defiantly something to brat about as well. IT wasn't as large as the Hyuga's but it was still amazing looking, Hinata was so surprise on the large amount of weapons that they possessed, and slightly afraid. Right now they were sitting down in the very beautiful yet simple garden. It had a stone pathway that lead to a small pond with peaceful swimming koi fish. Beautiful Sakura trees shielded them from the setting sun and small petals feel onto the round. Hinata and her family were simply discussing common topics between ninja such as jutsu and technique until Fumiko decided to talk on a subject that tried to ignore.
"So, how long have you and Chibi been dating?" Fumiko smirked. Hinata blushed and smiled kindly at Hachiro's sister, knowing that this question was going to come up.
"Um about a month…." Hinata answered honestly. "Though it seems like I've known him my whole life…" She giggled. It was still almost unbelievable of all the things that they've been through together over such a short amount of time. In the Hyuga family is it taught that destiny plays a huge part in the life of a human on this planet. Though Hinata believe that some things were not planned….deep down in her heart she had a strange feeling that maybe….it was destined for Hinata to meet Hachiro. Maybe some great and powerful being created her only for Hachiro and Hachiro only for her…What if….they were destined for each other?
Fumiko nodded and crossed her arms. "So, how do you truly feel about my little brother?" Fumiko said with a serious tone.
Hinata took a deep breath and looked up at Fumiko. "I've never felt this way about someone in my life. He's been so kind to me and he's able to truly make me laugh, which is something that I have not done in a while….." Hinata sighed. "I love him with all my heart and I would not do anything to hurt him, for I know that he would never do anything to hurt me. I'm not one to put my whole heart into believing in destiny but….I think that maybe Hachiro and I…were meant for each other. I know that were both young and that most people would simply cross this off as simple teen love but I truly cannot imagine myself with any other man than him….I really truly love him. " Fumiko was surprised to see a girl who was only about 14 years old would have so much love within her words when talking about her brother. Sure she has heard a larger amount of women give obvious flirtatious hints towards her brother but never had they ever showed true care for him as this girl showed. It was actually kind of cute.
"That's nice to know." She smiled at Hinata. Suddenly a thought came to her and a smirk appeared on her face. "So….one last question…." Hinata nodded and smiled at Fumiko. "….How far have you and Chibi gone?" A blush quickly grew on Hinata's face and her heart started beating uncontrollably. Neji glanced at Hinata with both eyes of sudden anger and fear. If Hachiro truly did something to Hinata he would personally dispose of him quickly and painfully.
"U-Um…..W-We haven't gone beyond kissing." Hinata played with her fingers, a habit that she thought she lost long ago, and refused to look up at the older Kunoichi. Neji and Hanabi left out a breath of relief. They were certainly not ready for that moment when they find out that Hinata has lost her innocence, especially at a young age.
"Really? I've always categorized Chibi as the most perverted out of all my brothers." She chuckled. Hinata couldn't help but smile at Fumiko, silently agreeing that Hachiro was a pervert of his own right, even though it was mostly towards her.
"I can um agree with you on that…." Hinata giggled. Fumiko smirked at Hinata and leaned forward with her hands on her goddess like hips.
"So….what has he done to you that seemed so perverted?" The smile that Hinata had was quickly replaced with a face of complete embarrassment. Hinata was new to this whole meeting the family thing but she was sure that a girlfriend does not discuss what her boyfriend does with her with his older sister. The look that Fumiko was giving her was not helping either, it was like she was staring into her soul with those icy blue eyes, like she was searching through her mind and unlocking her secrets by just a small glance. Neji noticed Hinata's dilemma but stayed in his place, for one Fumiko looked like the type of girl that did not like others butting into her conversations and two, he wanted to know about Hachiro's perverted advances just as much as Fumiko but for different reasons. As everyone knows, Neji takes his job as Hinata's protector very seriously and if someone like Hachiro, who he may see in a slightly different light but still had his trained eyes on, try anything that Hinata did not feel comfortable with….Neji was going to have to intervene. Hanabi on the other hand truly wanted to know about Hachiro's perverted side just for the sick amusement of seeing Neji blow up with anger and Hinata exploded with embarrassment.
"U-Um….." Hinata stuttered. Thankfully she heard her name being called and turned to see Hachiro running up to her with a huge grin on his face. The grin however seemed off to her, like it was covering up something….like pain or loneliness. Hinata stood up and smiled trying to play along; knowing that he would eventually tell her on what has been bothering him.
"Hello Hachiro." Hinata was surprised however to find Hachiro wrapping his arms around her waist and quickly placing his lips onto hers, sending waves down her back. For a moment she had forgotten that both his and her family was watching the couple's intimate moment and the only thought on her mind was Hachiro and his tender lips on hers. Eventually the two needed the air that they are depriving each other of and slowly backed their lips away from each other. The two stared into each other's eyes with small blushes growing on their faces, realization on where slowly started to soak in. Hinata glanced at her cousin and sister and saw the grinning face of her sister and the building anger of her cousin, while Hachiro only saw the mischievous grins of his siblings.
"So….I see that you two missed each other." Akihiko chuckled while walking over to his brother and sister. He wrapped an arm around Hachiro's shoulders and gave Hachiro a smirk. "So, who's hungry?" He asked but buried the thought when he saw someone coming from the distance.
"Can you shut up for five seconds?!" They all looked to see a girl with long curly brown hair and bright blue eyes glaring at another girl who looked exactly alike. The glaring girl wore a short sleeve green shirt with black sweat pants and ninja sandals. "God Aimi you're so annoying!"
The girl named Aimi gasped. "How like dare you talk to me like that?!" Aimi shouted. She wore a bright pink sleeveless shirt and purple arm warmers. She also wore a black skirt that buttoned on the side and long black ninja boots. Both had their headbands around their forehead but like their other family members it was mostly covered by their curly bangs.
"Come on guys, fighting is not going to solve anything." A boy ran behind them said with a concerned face. He had long light brown hair that had one small strand sticking upward while the rest was tied into a low ponytail. He wore a grey shirt with a mesh shirt underneath. He also had on a white triangular cloth over white ankle high pants and black ninja sandals. His headband unlike the others was wrapped around his neck, which was the way Hinata used to wear hers.
"Whatever Tadao, I say let them go at it." Another boy, who which Hachiro narrowed his eyes at, smirked while walking up to them. His hair was dark brown and short with bangs cover his headband. His eyes were the same shade of blue as Hachiro and his family, which caused Hinata to assume that he was a brother of his. He wore a black vest with a mesh undershirt and black fingerless gloves. He also wore ankle high pants and ninja sandals. The boy looked up and smirked at Hachiro's destination. "Well look who decided to come back." Hachiro growled and looked away. The other three looked towards Hachiro's direction and smiled.
"Chibi!" Aimi shouted and ran up to Hachiro. "Like Oh my gosh what's up little bro!" Hachiro groaned at his very loud sister.
"Hey Aimi….." Hachiro smiled up at his sister until his other sister wrapped her arm around his neck playfully.
"Well if it isn't little Chibi, how's it going?" Hachiro frowned as his older sister continued to chuckle at his expense.
Nice to see you too Akiko, now can you please let go of me." Akiko chuckled and slowly let him go.
Soon the other boy walked up to Hachiro and gave him a kind smile. "It's nice to see you safe and sound Hachiro." Hachiro gave the man a small smile and nodded.
"Nice to see you too Tadao…." Hinata saw the kind look in Hachiro's eyes and couldn't help but smile. The smile however was short lived as the other boy walked up to Hachiro with a smirk on his face.
"Still short as always huh Chibi." Hachiro narrowed his eyes at the boy and stuck his tongue.
"Shut it you ass wipe!" Hinata gasped at Hachiro's words. The boy simply snickered and turned to Hinata and her family.
"Who's the Cutie?" The boy smirked at Hinata. This caused Hachiro to glare at his brother.
"Back off Toshio!" Hachiro was defiantly not going to let Toshio of all people near his Hinata, knowing full well that his brother has no boundaries when it comes to girls.
"What's your deal Chibi?" Aimi giggled. "You act like she's your girlfriend or something." Hachiro looked at his sister and blushed which gave hint to what he was trying to say. "O…M….G!" She squealed. "She is isn't she?!" Hachiro covered his ears as his sister started jumping around with an unbearably bright smile on her face. 'Oh great….'
Hinata's Respite
"Wow that was really delicious!" Hinata smiled up at Tadao. After they all introduced each other and conversed for a while, Tadao asked if everyone was ready for dinner, which was responded by a loud yes by Hachiro and Akihiko. Hinata was amazed at how skilled Tadao was at cooking, far beyond her skills. Tadao smiled at Hinata and chuckled softly.
"Well, I thought that I'd try and cook the best meal that I could do for Hachiro's girlfriend." Hinata blushed and looked over at Hachiro who was smiling at Tadao.
"Man Bro I seriously missed your cooking." Hachiro said with a true smile on his face. Being away from home did teach Hachiro that he truly did miss his family, at least a few of them. But the one thing that he truly missed was his third oldest brother Tadao's cooking. Ever since the day that his mother died his brother Tadao took the role as both the cook and the house keeper. It was hard sometimes seeing his brother work so hard as both a ninja and keeping the house straight but Hachiro knew that he was neither the best cook nor the cleanest person so helping out Tadao was something of near impossible for him.
"Thank you Hachiro, I'm just glad that you still have your appetite."
"Tadao simply looking at Chibi could tell that he still has his appetite." Toshio chuckled, ignoring the glare from Hachiro. "So Chibi how is this mission that is so damn important that you can't even tell your own family?"
"Pretty well, how's not being on a mission assigned by the Fire Daimyō." Hinata watched as Toshio glared at his brother. She could already tell just from looking at them that these two are defiantly not the best of friends. 'They kind of remind me of Naruto and Sasuke before they were placed on team 7; it's actually kind of funny….' Hinata giggled which eventually caught Hachiro's attention. He turned to the smiling girl and couldn't help but smile at her. This was starting to look good; maybe Hachiro was overthinking this whole meeting his family thing, maybe….."
"So Chibi, when do you and Hinata plan on knocking boots?" Both Hachiro and Hinata gasped and turned their gaze to Akihiko who was simply smirking at their embarrassment.
"W-What the hell kind of question is that?!" Hachiro stuttered while trying to hide his blush from his siblings.
"Don't bother Akihiko." Fumiko chuckled. "Apparently Chibi and Hinata haven't even gone past kissing yet." Akihiko's smirk widened at this information. He never would have guessed that Hachiro, a Nakamura man, would wait as long as he has known Hinata to seal the deal.
"Wow Chibi I never knew you were celibate." Akiko smirked at her younger brother.
Hachiro turned to Akiko quickly gave her a death glare. "S-Shut up Akiko!" Akiko ignored Hachiro's comment and continued her deadly teasing.
"Maybe she isn't giving it to him." She turned to the Hyuga heiress to see that she too was blushing uncontrollably.
Hideo noticed Hinata's uncomfortable aura and sighed. "I don't think this is a proper subject around the dinner table." Aimi giggled at her brother.
"Well this is new for us, like first like little Chibi like comes with a girlfriend and like now he's like totally telling us that they haven't even done it."
"They could be simply waiting for the right moment." Tadao said with a concerned gaze at Hachiro and Hinata. Neji sighed with hidden anger. He did not want to make a seen in front of these people but if this conversation continues he might have to.
Hanabi was too starting to grow a little irritated at how they were talking about her sister. She was actually starting to like Hachiro for not behaving complete how his brother's apparently seem to act and behave.
"I believe that Tadao and Hideo both have a good point." Everyone turned to see Hachiro and his sibling's father standing at the door. Hinata was surprised to see a well-built man with a very strict looking face. He had long brown hair tied into a low ponytail and a goatee gracing his chin. He wore a simple black robe with light brown trimmings. Hinata never imagined him to be as tall as he was, and how strong he looked. Aimi stood up and ran to him with a smile on her face.
"Daddy!" She giggled and embraced her father. "Like what's up?"
"Nothing Aimi, return to your seat." Aimi nodded and ran back to her seat next to her twin sister. The man sat down at the head of the table and nodded at his children. "I see that we have guests….Hyugas if I'm not mistaken." Hinata stood up and motioned for Neji and Hanabi to do the same.
"Hello I am Neji Hyuga, sir." Neji bowed to the strong looking man.
"Hanabi Hyuga…." Hanabi bowed as well.
Hinata saw that it was her turn to bow and took a deep breath. 'Here I go….' "Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga clan….it is a pleasure to meet you…"
"Hinata Hyuga….?" Hachiro's father pondered. "Would that by chance make you the Heiress to the Hyuga clan?" Hinata raised her head slightly and nodded. The man nodded. "I have heard of your clan amazing kekkai genkai as well as their renowned shinobi, including both Neji and Hanabi Hyuga." The man folded his hands together. "It is an honor to be in the presence of such a renowned woman of such a high ranking clan. I am Akihiro Nakamura." Neji quickly looked up at the man before him. Akihiro Nakamura was known throughout many nations as one of the great shinobi of the Land of Fire. His skills in almost every single art known to the shinobi of any generation has rivaled by that of a Kage. Not also was he known for that but he was also known for being one of the only men to have ever fought and defeated the fourth Hokage, which by itself is a feat that deserved recognition. To simply be in his presence was an honor. "But I must ask why is the Hyuga Heiress of Konoha is gracing my home with her presence?"
Hinata immediately blushed and looked down. "U-Um ….."
"Apparently Chibi and her are an item." Aimi giggled. Akihiro raised his eye brow and cast a small gaze at his youngest son.
"Is this true Hachiro….?" Hachiro nodded, trying to not look at his father. Akihiro nodded and turned back to Hinata. "Well….You may sit Hyuga family." The three nodded and quickly took their seats. "Its funny son, I would have thought that you would have worked more on your ninja skills then your personal affairs." Hachiro narrowed his eyes at the ground and nodded.
"I am sorry father…." Hachiro muttered. Akihiro nodded, not looking at his son's face and simply picked up his plate and stood up.
"Well son, I am however interested that you have meet a woman with such prestige as the Heiress to the Hyuga clan." Tadao noticed Hachiro's shaking shoulders and sighed.
"Father, why don't you stay for dinner?" Tadao offered.
"I am sorry son but I have work that needs to be attended to." He looked down at Hinata. "It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Hinata." He said then walked out of the room, leaving behind him a quiet room. Hinata looked over at Hachiro and noticed the hurt look in his eyes before he turned back to face Hinata. She seriously wanted to do nothing but hold him and tell him it was okay but she was in this situation before and knew that at this moment he did not want anyone to see him for how he truly felt. Lost and broken, abandon without the love of someone that should bring you nothing but love but instead give grief and shame, This was something that Hinata knew well, it was something that she had felt for so long. So instead she just touched his hand and gave him the softest smile that she could conjure up. Just the sight of her smile brought on to his face, which surprised his siblings greatly. Never have they truly seen anyone cause Hachiro to smile the way he was now, not the fake grin he puts on to hide his pain but a genuine smile that came from the heart. Tadao let a small smile on his face and stood up.
"Now that dinner is done, if you would like I would like to show you the guest rooms-."
"Actually Tadao, I was wondering if maybe I could walk with Hinata for a bit…." Hachiro said softly to his brother. Tadao smiled down at his brother and nodded. Hachiro grinned and grabbed Hinata's hand before walking away with her. Toshio looked at Hachiro's direction and rolled his eyes. 'Love sick moron…..'
Hinata's Respite
Hachiro and Hinata were taking a very romantic walk through his garden, simply enjoying the love the other was giving.
"So….how'd it go with my sister?" Hachiro finally asked. He feared that maybe Fumiko might have said something to Hinata that might have changed her impression of him and seriously wanted to disprove anything that she said. "If she told about that time with the toads, I was young and stupid and-."
"What toads?" Hinata asked with confusion in her eyes.
Hachiro blinked. "N-Nothing!" He chuckled nervously. 'Thank god she didn't tell her about the toads.'
"Your sister is actually very nice; I think everyone in your family is nice." Hinata gave him a truthful smile.
"Yeah you say that now….." Hachiro muttered. "I um…sorry about what happened at dinner with that whole….conversation….about um….us…." Hinata blushed and looked down.
"I-It's alright…." Hinata giggled. "But um I was wondering um….."
"What….?"
Hinata had no idea how to word this. "W-Would you um….like to um….you know do…I'm n-not saying now but….eventually…..sometime in the future…." Hachiro slowly got what Hinata was trying to say and blushed uncontrollably.
"O-Oh um of course I mean….if you want too…." Hachiro was seriously going to curse someone if he found out that this was all a dream. The girl of his dream was basically asking if he wanted to eventually have sex with her.
"I-I don't want it to be too soon but….let's say in about a year or so….." Hinata turned to Hachiro with a look of both love and fear. "…..I want you to…..be my first…." Now if someone were to wake up Hachiro right now Hachiro was defiantly going to kill someone.
"Hinata…..I don't just want to be your first….." Hachiro grabbed her hands. "Being your first means that you're going to have a second…..I want to be your only…. " Hinata blushed at the seriously look in Hachiro's eyes. Hinata thought about it for a second and realized that they were basically promising each other sex. This thought brought a smile to her face. "What's so funny?" Hachiro felt that he needed to ask.
"N-Nothing….." Hinata gently peck him on his lips. "….I love you…." Hachiro grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love you too….." Hachiro whispered. "….but do we really have to wait a whole year I mean I have a room all to myself and all we need to do is just be very quiet-." Hachiro shouted in pain as Hinata punched him hard in his cheek sending him flying into the pond.
"Your sister is right about you! PERVERT!" Hinata shouted at the now wet Hachiro.
"But you love me either way Cutie." Hachiro winked at the now blushing Hinata. Hinata turned on her heel and began to walk away. Hachiro quickly stood up, not realizing that a frog was sitting peacefully on his head. "Hey, hey wait up!" Hinata stood and noticed the new companion on his head and smiled. Hachiro gave her a confused glance before watching her pick something off his head and placed it down on the ground. As soon as he saw that green thing blinking up at him he quickly screamed and jumped away. "G-Get that t-thing away from me!" Hachiro shouted while pointing at the frog.
"Hachiro what's wrong?"
"F-Frogs and Toads, they freak the hell out of me!" Hachiro stuttered. Hinata was surprised that of all the things that he could be afraid of and it turns out to be frogs and toads. Hinata giggled and placed the frog into her hands gently and placed it back into the pond. She turned to Hachiro and smiled. 'Great now she thinks I'm some dork who's afraid of stupid frogs…..' Hachiro was surprised to see Hinata taking his hand. Hachiro smiled at her but frowned when he remembered that she needed to know where her room was. "Come on….I'll show you your room." Hinata nodded and walked hand in hand with Hachiro.
Hinata's Respite
Now Akihiko has seen many things in his life that he deemed strange. From an eight-headed man to a strange blob monster, he's basically seen it all. But never would he think of seeing Hachiro walking down the hall, dripping wet, with a goofy smile on his face and his cheeks as red as a freaking tomato.
"….um, what's up Chibi?" Akihiko said with a confused look on his face.
"Nothing Akihiko….everything is perfectly fine….." Hachiro muttered with a distant look on his face. He wanted to ask him why was he wet but decided that maybe it was best if he didn't know.
"Okay then…." He said then walked away. Hachiro was completely in heaven, the pure memory of how passionate Hinata's goodnight kiss, how raw that passion was. 'I love being in love with someone as awesome as Hinata…..'
