Destined for each other?
Chapter 2- Helado, Nieve, lobos y abrazos
After school
As soon as the bell rings in school the entire student body scramble wildly, all trying to leave as quickly as they can. Naruto and Hinata have lockers next to each other and they both coincidentally meet at the lockers putting their things away. When Naruto sees his sister Hinata, he smiles and asks, "Hey Hinata, would you like to go somewhere with me?"
She turns her head over to her brother, "What? You wanna go out? Like where?" Hinata asks.
"I don't know anywhere, how about the ice cream parlor? Its just one train stop away from here." Naruto says.
Hinata thinks but quickly replies, "OK, that sounds fine."
Naruto smiles to himself and fist pumps the air, "Yes, finally maybe I'll finally get a smile out of her!" he thinks to himself.
Hinata puts her things in her locker and asks, "Why do you wanna go out today?"
"Well, its such a nice day today and I think we should have it just to ourselves." says Naruto as he shuts the locker door and begins to walk outside with Hinata.
They both go down the road to the train, without really talking to each other they take out their passes and go inside the train heading towards town where the ice cream parlor is located.
"So, do you know what flavor you're going to get?" asks Naruto.
"Oh, I'm not sure, maybe vanilla." Hinata replies, thinking about all the flavor possibilities.
The train only takes three or four minutes to get to their destination. When they arrive Naruto grabs Hinatas hand, which makes her feel a bit weird since it had been such a long time since they've held hands.
"I wouldn't want you go get lost now." says Naruto as he takes her by the hand towards the outside of the station.
"Lets get going! I could really use some ice cream!" Naruto says loudly.
Hinata smiles, "Well, you sure are excited! Lets go!" She finally begins to think positively.
When they finally arrive, they immediately buy the ice cream and take a seat and table. Naruto starts his, it was a cinch. He looks at Hinata who is vacillating on eating her sweet treat.
"Are you okay Hinata?" Naruto asks.
"I'm okay, I just... recently I haven't been feeling to well." She answers.
"I know what you mean." says Naruto, "Things have been real hard since... well since, you know... mom left.. and now dads always gone. But we have to try to remain positive Hinata!"
She lightly smiles and takes a first lick off her ice cream. Naruto, seeing his sister a bit cheered up, stares at her and smiles to himself. Hinata lowers her face as she blushes out of embarrassment.
"Why are you looking at me like that for?" Hinata mutters out.
"Its just that you look much cuter when you smile." Naruto replies.
"Uh.. you think so?" She asks.
Smiling to himself, "Of course." Naruto says, "All girls look cuter when they smile."
She then licks her ice cream again in a fluster.
"I think its nice that you'd want to spend some time together." says Hinata.
Naruto then sets his ice cream on the table,"Good, glad you're enjoying it. But the day is not over!" Naruto yells, "We still have places to go!"
They finish their ice cream and go to as many stores as they can in one day. They visit a toy store, an antiques shop, the bike shop, then finally a stuffed animal store. Both walk around looking at the selection of stuffed animals.
"Man, this place sure has a lot to choose from." Naruto says.
"You've telling me. I don't know if should even get one though." replies Hinata.
"What do you mean, I'll get whichever one you want, my treat. Don't worry about it!" Naruto says.
Hinata looks at her brother and nods. "OK then." she says as she picks up a pair of cute wolves. The two wolves being held together by one hand.
"Here, I want this one so both you and I can have a wolf." says Hinata. She takes one and hands Naruto the other, both wolves were identical and adorable in all the same ways.
"I think that's a good idea." Says Naruto.
They go up to the cashier and hand him the stuffed animals for their purchase. The old man with a whitening gray bread looks at them for a while.
"Is something that matter?" Asks Naruto.
"Oh its nothing, its just that these cute little things have been in my store for years and you kids are the only ones to even notice these poor creatures. You know there's an old story that goes along with these critters." Says the old man.
Naruto raises his eyebrow in curiosity and asks, "Really, can you tell us?"
The old man nods and says, "Well, once upon a time there were two wolves and they lived on there own. They went through many problems. But they helped each other grow..."
Naruto then looks at the old man and waits for him to continue, but he gets desperate and says, "OK, then what?"
The bearded old man then chuckles and says, "You know, suddenly I can't remember. This old brain of mine is drawing blanks. I sincerely apologize."
Hinata and Naruto look at each other and chuckle along with the old man and pay for what they wanted. They begin to head out, just before they leave the door the old man says to them, "Listen kids, come by another day, hopefully I'll remember the end of my little store by then."
Naruto gives a big thumbs up and says, "Of course... By the way I'm Naruto and this is my sister Hinata." They both give a bow and leave promptly.
Naruto and Hinata hold hands as they walk back to the station and go on the bus. The train was full and people were squirming to get space for the ride. Hinata begins to feels claustrophobic and tries to go towards Naruto who is now separated from her because of the squirming from the other passengers. She reaches out her hand in a gesture to try to grab Narutos hand, but has no luck. Right when she is about to give up searching for her brothers hand she feels a tight grip and it pulls her towards the side of the train near the entrance. She sees that its her brother coming for her rescue. He pins her near the wall protecting her from oncoming riders.
Hinata, being shorter than Naruto, can feel his chest almost right on her with his presence and she suddenly reddens up. Naruto looks from left to right to make sure everything is all right then sees his sister with her face red from the experience. He lowers his face to hers and sees his sisters expressions.
"Are you okay Hinata, your face is really red." Naruto says, then puts his hand on her forehead. "Plus your getting really hot."
Hinata shakes, "No I-I'm fine." she says.
Suddenly more passengers come by their way and they get even closer, until someone pushes Naruto closer to his Sister, so close that his face is next to his and Narutos mouth is next to his sisters left ear.
Naruto then whispers into Hinatas ear, "Oh, sorry about that."
Hinata feels the warm air from Narutos mouth come to her ear and makes her blush even harder until she just gives in.
"Why... why do I feel like this? … he is... he is my brother... Am I sick?" Hinata thinks to herself as she wraps her arms around her brother. This makes even Naruto blush lightly as he can feel his sisters body on him. They finally arrive to the stop where their house is at. She lets go of her brothers body and grabs onto his hands.
"Come on Naruto, its time to go home, I think I'll make something for the two of us!" Hinata says happily as she holds tightly onto her brother, still blushing.
We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
