Ch 2- Complications

Next morning Hinata woke up to a beautiful sunrise which filled her up with happiness and hope, she hummed to herself as she made breakfast for herself and Hanabi. She had decided to follow Shino's advice and not be upset about going, heck now she was even a little bit excited as she would be meeting new people and seeing new things.

She had neatly placed the omelet on the plate when Hanabi walked in wearing a short white skirt, a striped white and blue t-shirt and a dark blue scarf wrapped around her neck; she greeted her sister and sat down to eat her breakfast.

She noticed her sister was in a pretty good mood, she had also made Hanabi's favorite breakfast dish. Curious, Hanabi spoke up, "Hey sis you're in a pretty good mood today, what's up?"

Hinata who was now finished with her breakfast and was cleaning her dishes looked up at Hanabi, "no particular reason."

Hanabi smiled, that's how she liked her sister, happy and smiling. She knew why Hinata had gotten up late yesterday and was upset the day before yesterday but she hadn't talked to her about it, she was waiting for Hinata to talk to her.

Getting up abruptly Hanabi started pulling Hinata out of the kitchen and out the door, leaving her dishes dirty as usual.

Hinata let her sister drag her to the car while complaining about the dirty dishes. Hanabi would never learn, she was young, energetic and impatient.

As Hinata dropped Hanabi off, she noticed a young boy approaching her to walk with her. Now she understood why Hanabi was so impatient to leave the house.

……

"Hyuga Hinata congratulations you got an A on your assignment," announced Iruka, their English professor.

Hinata's face beamed with happiness and she had a big smile on her face. She had worked really hard on that paper.

Iruka proceeded on to hand other people their assignments, mostly people had gotten Bs, only Shikamaru had managed to get an A beside Hinata.

That day Iruka divided the class into two groups and gave them a topic to debate about, testing the counter arguments they presented to each other's arguments.

It was an invigorating class and even Hinata had gotten really enthusiastic.

Hinata was in a good mood even though her professors had dumped the students with piles of homework for the summer break and more was going to be given in the days to come, she still walked around with a big smile on her face.

Hinata was almost done with the last class of the day when Ino and Tenten grabbed her from either sides. Startled, Hinata asked them what was up.

Ino smiled mischievously, "we are taking you to the mall for some shopping."

Hinata's eyes bulged, "But I have tons of clothes, I don't need any, please I don't want to go for shopping."

"Yes and that's why you always come in a pair of jeans that you wear alternatively with a few t-shirts," replied Tenten.

"But…"

"No friend of ours is going to go out of town looking like you are now," stated Ino.

"You said it," piped in Tenten.

Hinata looked at one friend and then the other; she knew talking to them was pointless, once they set their mind to something they would achieve it no matter what.

"Look Hinata you're going to a new place, you'll be meeting new people and you'll definitely want to make a good impression on them," reasoned Ino.

"Ya and what if you met a really cute guy, you would want to look good, right." To which Hinata didn't reply but a slight blush could be seen on her cheeks.

The first shop they visited Ino and Tenten both grabbed clothes from various racks and shoved Hinata into the try room with them. Hinata felt a bit awkward trying them on, they were short and body hugging, and she wasn't used to wearing such revealing clothes. While Hinata wrinkled her nose from disapproval, Ino and Tenten both ranted on about how good Hinata looked in them.

In the end they all compromised buying some really cool shirts, to go with skinny jeans, three skirts that were not too short and two cocktail dresses in case Hinata had to attend a formal occasion.

They were now done with buying clothes and off to buy some shoes to go with them, Hinata whined about how the fatigue of buying clothes was bad enough but now they were going to shop for shoes! Hinata wasn't so positive anymore; her perfectly happy day had been ruined. But she was stuck so she had to make the best of it. They spent another hour buying a few pairs of pumps/dolly shoes and a pair of black heels to go with the dresses.

Finally they were done and Hinata sigh with relief, she dropped Ino and Tenten at their houses on her way home. It had been an all together fun day. When she opened the front door she saw Hanabi waiting for her in the lounge, which was weird; why would she be waiting for her to get home?

"Hey big sis did you forget that we were suppose to spend tonight together watching a movie," holding up the DVDs for emphasis.

Uh oh thought Hinata, shoot I totally forgot, we had planned this almost a week ago, "well you see Ino and Tenten grabbed me today after classes and took me for some shopping, you know how they are, they don't take no for an answer, please Hanabi I am really sorry, I promise I'll make it up to you."

Hanabi just looked at her with disbelief, "you know we planned this a week ago and I was really looking forward to it."

Walking to stand in front of Hanabi, Hinata made her puppy dog look, "come on Hanabi I am really sorry."

Hanabi didn't waver but after a minute smiled slightly, "well ok, but you promise to make it up, right, besides I know you hate shopping so you've suffered enough." Hinata nodded.

They ended up having a pizza delivered and eating it outside on the patio.

"Hanabi do you know that dad is sending me to live with his friend's family?" asked Hinata.

Hanabi nodded. "I didn't even know that dad had a friend like him."

Hanabi stopped eating, "well I was looking at family photos a few days ago and I saw one in which you're three standing next to a boy who is slightly taller than you with black hair. Behind you our dad is standing with another person who looked like that boy's father. Come to think of it, he looked just like that Fugaku guy" Looking at Hinata Hanabi continued, "Behind the picture it was written, 'Hyuga and Uchiha union'."

Hinata looked at Hanabi curiously; she didn't remember ever meeting her father's friend before neither did her dad mention that she had met them before. "Can you show me the picture?"

"Sure sis, I'll show it to you tomorrow, I'll have to look for it."

Hinata nodded, see she knew there was something going on.

That night Hinata couldn't sleep, she wracked her brain for answers that she couldn't find. Tomorrow looking at the picture might unlock something, she decided and with a determined mind went to sleep.
