It was six months after Hinata's pregnancy and all was well. Baby Kiri was able to sit up and babbled all the time. If she cried her seal would get brighter but that was okay. Naruto and Hinata spent all of their time with their baby girl. Both knew they were low on money but they needed to commit themselves to protecting the baby. One day somebody knocked at their door. It was a strong knock and consisted of four firm but not loud knocks.

"Hello? Oh Neji!" said Naruto when he opened the door.

"Neji!" Hinata was excited to see him again.

"Hi! I just came to see if little... Kiri was it, has done justice to her Byakugan"

"Don't you worry! She is the cutest little thing we've ever seen. Isn't that right Kiri?" said Naruto. Kiri babbled her answer.

"I see. Has she accidentally triggered the Byakugan before?"

"No, I know some Hyuga babies may do that at a year though" said Hinata looking at a book with a baby on it.

"Is that the book that Ino bought for you?" asked Naruto.

"That's it" replied Hinata.

"Oh that reminds me. I have a little gift for you two" Neji held out an envelope.

"Thank you Neji!" said Naruto as he took the envelope. He opened it and his face lit up. "Five-thousand dollars!"

"I just went on a good paying B-rank mission and that's about half of what it paid. Thought I'd do my part for little Kiri"

"Maybe I should go on a mission to get some extra money Hinata. That would serve as income and if they all pay that well I do maybe one in a month and we're set"

"But Naruto, they're dangerous! And if you, well you know..."

"Well we do need money Hinata, we can't just make nothing all year" said Naruto.

"He could do missions with me Hinata" suggested Neji.

"Well, okay. That would be okay" said Hinata. Kiri garbled. "Oh right, time for the baby to eat" Hinata took Kiri into the kitchen to fix her lunch which was a bottle and a bit of mushy bananas.

"Hey Neji" said Naruto

"Yeah?"

"What have you been up to since the exams?"

"Well I did a little traveling and stuff..." just then the theme of CSI: Miami started to play and Neji said "But I still remember you favorite show" they both laughed and sat down on the couch.

Whoooo are you? Who who, who who? Whoooo are you who who, who who

That is the theme to CSI Miami for you pop culture impaired. Love that song )

Hinata walked into the room with Kiri and her food and sat down to watch. She liked the show as well and Kiri liked the way everything flashed and would look and babble the way babies did. The show ended on a cliffhanger as usual and Neji left. It was getting late so Hinata took Kiri and laid her in her bassinet. Naruto and Hinata got into bed and slept soundly the entire night.

I put Neji in here just for you Chibi-Tickbalang. I thought I should put him in there for one of my friends 
