Chapter 19

Passion Fruit Slush

"Sasuke said you weren't coming." the blonde female strangled him in her embrace

"That's what he told me."a more monotonous voice followed through the door. "Aniki."

"Otouto."

"Okay, you two. Have some manners, we have a guest." Mikoto admonished as she began to prepare the table. "Your brother brought a girl home."

"Nooo," Ino whistled in disbelief as Hinata followed Mikoto out

"You sound too disappointed." Sasuke raised his brow at his girlfriend

"I'm just surprised." she shook her head before hugging Hinata without warning.

"Welcome to the family! If he's an asshole to you, let me know." Ino smiled as she stepped back, her blonde bangs framing her face.

"Language Ino." Mikoto rebuked, shaking her head

"Gomen Mi-kaa-chan!" she laughed it off, before engulfing Mikoto as well, whose eyes turned soft in return

"I see she hasn't changed." Itachi smiled to his brother

"She's probably worse now." the younger Uchiha gruffed before turning to Hinata

"Welcome to the family." he smirked, knowing full well what it implied as he sat down

Embarrassed and overwhelmed, Hinata excused herself, that she had left something in the car.

"She's a shy one. You sure do pick 'em." Ino giggled

"Yamanaka."

"Uchiha."
