Japan, Narita International Airport
"Mum, I told you, there is absolutely no reason for you to worry. We are gonna stick to the plan which you and Mrs. Tsume drilled in our heads. We are not gonna do anything what is inappropriate." Said Naruto to his mother for thousand time.
Kushina fumed, "Don't play smart with me, young man. It is not to late to cancel this trip."
Naruto signed, "Mum, really. Please don't worry. I wanted to go to America for so long. Every time Dad needed to go on one of his business trips, I thought that he will let me go with him. But he didn't. And now I have a chance to go, so please, just be happy for me and let me enjoy it."
Kushina looked at her son's face. She took deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. It was only natural for her to worry over Naruto. She loves him so much that, if something bad happen to him she wouldn't know how she would survive it.
"Ok, I will try to calm down. But just to make it clear for the last time, I am expecting from you to be in your hotel room every night by 10:30. If, by any chance, you and Kiba are not there when I call, I am coming for both of you to get you home, and believe me, you wouldn't like what will happen next. Did I made myself clear?"
Naruto and Kiba gulped, "Yes, ma'am."
"Good." Said Kushina, pleased with herself.
In that moment over the intercom was announced that boarding started. She looked at boys and hugged them tightly. Kissing their forehead, she said last good bye to them. After they gathered their stuff, they got in plane with the rest of the passengers.
When both of them were seated, Kiba said, " You know, your mum can be very scary person. I truly don't won't to get on her bad side."
"Don't worry about it." Said Naruto. "We just need to make sure to be in hotel room when she calls. She can not truly supervise our every movement there."
" I don't know, she looks capable of hiring a secret agent to look after us." Kiba replayed.
"Noo, that only my father can do, and since she doesn't want to ask for anything from him, it's not likely to happen."
"Ok, if you say so."
"Relax, man. In couple of hours we are gonna be free from our parents like birds to fly high, high trough the sky toward the Sun."
" Hm." Kiba's head start hurting. He made himself more comfortable in seat, and tried to relax a little.
'I just don't won't to finish like Icarus with burned wings,' thought Kiba. Shortly, the brunette was fast asleep.
Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean
Kiba opened his eyes. He moved and cringed. His neck was hurting, and shoulders were stiff. Good news was that his headache was gone.
" You are finally awake." Said Naruto. "Look, you need to meet someone."
"Kiba, this is Haku. Haku, this is my best friend Kiba."
Kiba looked over Naruto at other person, who had long black hair, pale skin and large, dark-brown eyes. 'What a beautiful girl.' He thought. That was, at least 'till he heard Haku's masculine voice.
"It's nice to meet you. Naruto was telling me a lot about you, of course everything nice." Haku said smiling.
"Nice to meet you, too." Kiba replied.
"So, you two are going to States. Nice. Do you have any special plans? Do you know what are you gonna do there?" Asked Haku.
"We are supposed to go to Universal Studios. I don't know if we will have time for anything else." Said Kiba.
"Hm. What about clubs? Do you want to go out partying?"
"Well..." Started Kiba, but he was interrupted by Naruto.
"Of course we want to go! I heard that parties in States are crazy."
Haku chuckled, "Well, some of them. You just need to know right place to go. You know, I can give you my number, so if you wanna go out and have some fun, just give me a call."
"Cool, thanks man." Said Naruto.
"No problem."
"Haku, what is your reason for going to States?" Asked Kiba.
Haku's face was instantly light up with beautiful smile, " I'm art student and I just got transferred to Art Academy In Orlando. I am so excited! And also, I am going to meet a very dear person of mine."
"That's so nice. Good luck with studies."
"Thank you."
With that, Haku put his headphones on and closed his eyes. Naruto turned to Kiba, " He is such a nice person. He also offered to show us around."
"Yeah, but how we will go out when we have a curfew?"
"We will think about that later. Oh, I'm getting so excited about this trip."
Kiba couldn't help but to smile to Naruto's enthusiasm. He put his own headphones to listen to some J-rock music.
Glancing at Naruto he saw that blonde was doing sudoku on his phone. He closed his eyes and tuned out in his own imaginary world.
Orlando International Airport
"Yay! We are finally here!" Beamed Naruto at Kiba.
"Great. Couple of more hours, and my backside would grow in that damn seat." Grumbled Kiba.
"Well, good for you that you didn't, or you would miss a lot. Now, let's go to check in hotel and to start with fun!"
"Ok, lead the way. God knows that I need a hot shower."
"Ooh, we could do that, and much more. My Dad made full arrangement for us. What are you saying for some spa time? We could order some drinks. Heck, we could also have some hot chicks give us massage!"
"I'm saying, WHY you didn't mention that earlier? Get us checked in that hotel this moment, Naruto. And FYI, your father rocks, man."
"Yeah, he does, at least sometimes. I think he did this because he felt guilty that he is no longer with us. This is his way of saying 'Sorry'." Naruto said with sadness in his eyes.
Kiba could feel his friend's sadness. They never talked about it much, but he new that his friend was suffering that his parents are not together anymore. His mom, Tsume Inuzuka, raised his sister Hana and him alone, because his father died in car accident when he was only three mounts old. He couldn't say that he missed his father as he didn't have any chance to meet him, but he could sometimes hear his mother's soft sobs from her room late at night. Or, to see that same expression like Naruto's in his sister's eyes. He could just guessed what they are going through.
So, wanting to cheer up his friend, he put his hands on Naruto's shoulders, and said, " Let's go. We have to use your birthday present properly. And to figure out how to go around your mother's police hour, so we could go out to some club. We can even give a call to that Haku guy."
Naruto smiled at his friend's attempt to cheer him up, and let to be led out of the airport on the noisy street of Orlando.
