I'm so glad you guys liked the past chapters, I hope you'll like this one even more! I had fun writing this though the introductions are slightly boring. Not much to say but thank you for all the reviews, favourite alerts and story alerts! You guys rock. Wheat else can I say... sorry for taking so long, homework and exams are killing me though I'm in a week-long break that is still filled with homeworks. Gosh I hate teachers... Anyway, i'm sorry but I still wrote it and here you go. I do not own Naruto, guys, so be happy. Anyway, enjoy!
"I love the sea" she came beside Neji who smiled at her,
"You've improved greatly little one" she smiled and splashed some water at him.
"yeah, but I'm not so little any more"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She walked out of the sea and plopped down on the sand. 09:58. She'd been surfing for way too long. She closed her eyes and sighed as she panted, trying to regain her breath. She heard the girls laughing and the boys as well. She felt warmth beside her and she turned to Gaara.
"Tired?" he asked cutely. Hinata grinned.
"It was worth it" she said with a heavy breath. Gaara took advantage of her open mouth and plopped a cinnamon and brown sugar poptart in her mouth. She squealed and quickly took it with her hand and stuck her tongue out.
"Oops... forgot to tell you it was hot" he said with a sheepish smile that made her giggle as she, carefully, took a bite of the sweet treat.
"Delicious" she said savouring the pastry. He smiled and continued eating his banana cupcake. She smirked and bit his muffin, stealing a small piece as she grinned broadly. He glared at her.
"Hey! That's mine! It's the last one!" she danced lightly and laughed.
"Poor you, then. But they're good" she said with eyebrows raised.
"Your mother made them. The cook left to shop. Still up for the kickboxing session?" she sat up and stared at him curiously.
"Why do you even ask? You already know the answer!" she said before standing up and dusting the sand off her bottom. Gaara stood up and pulled her arm and pushed her in the house. Hinata smelled the air and almost moaned due to the scent. It was heavenly.
"Mum! What are you cooking?" she said curiously. She heard a light hearted giggle and a chuckle.
"Hinata!" she stared at her father who was laughing and hugging her mother who was blushing. She sighed.
"Dad... are you harassing mum again?" she asked warily, lightly glaring at her father who sheepishly gave a chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck. Her mother laughed.
"Honey, leave your father alone... he hasn't been here for a while. I'm making some pastry... well since your father's friends are coming over to play poker. So I made some muffins, cake, meat pockets and some things of the sorts, plus the actual meal- that is a secret so don't even bother in asking little lady" Hinata giggled sheepishly.
"You know me too well" she said with a grin. "Anything for breakfast?" her mother pointed at the table where various different things were laid out. Rice, chinese buns, fish, miso soup, waffles, bacon, pupusas(courtesy to her father's trip to El Salvador), pancakes, muffins, oeufs à la Benedictine, pain au chocolat (chocolate bread), fresh strawberry mouse... mmm... pop tarts... She smiled and grabbed a glass and poured in milk and grabbed four pop tarts. Her mother's face dropped slightly as she glared softly at Hinata.
"Honey why do you always pick the most unhealthy thing?" she asked slightly pouting as Hiashi simply laughed at the simple argument. Hinata smirked.
"You're the one who puts them in the toaster and lays them on the table, if you didn't make them I'd probably not eat them" she said smiling. Hiashi burst out laughing.
"She's got a point Hanako..." she pouted.
"But... I know she loves it... but I thought that when she saw the other food she'd choose the other things" she said with a 'sad' look. Hey, who do you think Hinata learnt manipulation and puppy face from? Hinata laughed.
"You know I love all that but I'm going to kickboxing class and I can't eat too much" her mother sighed and smiled.
"You silly kid. Don't think I didn't know you were out since 5:00 am..." she grinned sheepishly again.
"I thought you wouldn't realize it..." she said rubbing her neck. Her mother laughed and kissed her forehead and ushered her out.
"Gaara-kun, please take care of her, she's so clumsy, and I'm afraid that she isn't eating as much as she should" she turned to her mother.
"I'm eating four pop tarts mom.. not only that but that is a light breakfast for me... are you trying to fatten me up and cook me or what?" she asked teasingly, her father still laughing. Gaara nodded.
"I'll take care of her Hanako-oba-sama... Hiashi-oji-sama Ja, itekimasu" they both called out behind them a "Iterashai!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Girls?" the four ladies turned to Neji and Lee who stared at them seriously.
"Yes Neji?" Tenten asked.
"What happened yesterday?" they rolled their eyes.
"nothing, she simply challenged the Uchiha, that's all" they stared at them with an eyebrow raised.
"Suuure, spill" they looked down and spilled everything, from the flirting of Kiba and Shikamaru to the kiss between her and Temari to Hinata kicking the ball so hard it almost broke the mesh. Neji was wide eyed, and along with Lee he had a small amount of blood at was dripping from his nose. Hinata and Temari... hearts could almost place themselves in their pupils while they imagined it, disgusting the girls.
"Perverts..." they muttered as they looked around. "Speaking of Hinata, where is she?? I don't remember her telling us she was going elsewhere" Ino said as she looked around again. The other girls nodded and frowned.
"She always tell us where she is going" Temari added. Neji chuckled.
"She's probably inside, I saw her enter the house with Gaara, who actually fed her pop tart" he said slightly fuming. The girls giggled.
"Aw! So cute!" the girls squealed. Almost everyone in the house was aware of Gaara's crush on Hinata, it was such a sweet puppy love. The only one who wasn't aware was the ever clueless Hinata and Hiashi who thought it was simply brotherly love... how naïve (A/N xDDDD ROTFLMAO) And everyone in the house, except Neji of course, supported Gaara's love towards Hinata and found it so cute when he blushed around her and got protective... actually Neji got over-protective himself but... the idea of a crush never went through their minds. Its Neji! He won't fall for Hinata, he's too much about decency and even if in Japan cousin x cousin was allowed, he considered it wasn't decent so the idea of him being in love with her was out of the question.
"Kids!! Come in! It's breakfast time!!" The girls laughed and ran out of the water and laid their boards on the floor followed by them running towards the house. Neji and Lee took it more calmly and walked out of the water, doing the same thing the girls did and walked calmly towards the house.
"hanako-oba-sama?" Hanako turned to Ino.
"Yes Ino-chan?" Ino pouted softly.
"Hanako-oba-sama do you know where Hinata left to?" Hanako giggled.
"Yes, she went to kickboxing session with Gaara" the girls widened their eyes.
"I thought she didn't like it" Temari said softly, the other girls turned to her and nodded.
"Well apparently she did, 'cause she left with Gaara happily" the girls smiled and Neji frowned.
"Hanako-oba-sama... don't you think Gaara's been spending awfully way too much time with Hinata-chan" Hanako giggled again.
"So? Are you jealous Neji-chan?" Neji blushed. "Do you think she'll be stolen away and you won't be able to be with her any more?" the girls burst out laughing at Neji's face and almost began rolling on the floor laughing.
"...You know what Hanako-oba-sama? Forget I even said anything" everyone laughed, including Lee. The girls couldn't stop laughing.
"You were so pwned!" he glared at them.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Okay... raise your leg a bit" Hinata did as she was told as she stood before Gaara. He corrected her posture and raised his arms that had the pillowy kicking cushion. "Okay now, give me ten of those" Hinata nodded as she began kicking the cushion non-stop. Gaara raised his arms. "Good girl, well done. Let's take a break" she panted but nodded nonetheless. He pulled her to a railing where they sat down. "Stay here I'll bring us some water" she nodded, still breathless. She diverted her gaze and found several gazes directed towards her. She sighed. She saw a guy who walked towards her, glancing back to his group of friends and showed two thumbs up. The guys grinned and did the same to him. Hinata wanted to be swallowed by the earth right there. The guy stood beside her.
"Hey honey... you alone?" Hinata smiled and softly shook her head no. "If you're not alone then why would he leave such a doll unattended" he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She gently slipped out of his grip and smiled awkwardly.
"He's just bringing some drinks" she said softly, trying not to get the boy mad.
"... then why don't you ditch him and come with us?" she softly, once again, shook her head no. "Okay then, bitch! Why would you dress like that if you wanted to be like that, you whore" she widened her eyes and the words seem like they stung.
"Man, buzz off, she's with me. Have a problem with that?!" Hinata didn't think about the voice of her saviour since she was concentrating in not crying before the jerk who just insulted her. She felt a pressure on her shoulder, she turned slightly and turned to see the guy she just didn't want to see.
"Sasuke" she said shocked. He flashed her a sexy smirk that for some strange reason made her heart skip a beat. 'My hatred for him must be growing... that must be why...'
"Oh...Uchiha-sama... I... we... didn't know about it... I'm so sorry" Sasuke shoot him an ice cold glare.
"... It's not use asking me for forgiveness... why not apologize to the beautiful lady?" the boy rubbed his neck sheepishly.
"I'm so sorry, miss, I... wasn't aware of what I was saying. I apologize" Hinata nodded, still slightly shocked about the fact that she was called a bitch and a whore... in the same phrase! And that Sasuke had appeared and hadn't been a total ass... but a relatively decent person. 'I think I'm going crazy... Uchiha Sasuke is physically and Psychologically incapable of not being a jerk' Once the other guy left Sasuke approached Hinata and, leaning on the railing as well, he brought his thumb to Hinata's cheek and wiped the traces of the beginning of her tears. He smiled at her warmly.
"Tears don't suit a girl as pretty as you" Hinata for a second felt as if entranced by Sasuke but soon woke up from the daze. She drew away.
"What are you doing here Uchiha?" she hissed. He chuckled and faked hurt.
"Aw... do you know how much this indifference of yours hurts me Hinata-chan...?" she glared at him.
"Sure... and now you want to be nice. Maybe it would've gone better if you hadn't been such a jerk in past years" he cocked and eyebrow and sexily leaned into her, whispering into her ear.
"Maybe I was just trying to hide my obvious love for you" Hinata felt a shiver shake her frame and she even had to stabilize herself due to it. He chuckled a sexy chuckle that made a hue of pink taint her cheeks. "You know... you surely did grow up into a beautiful lady" she turned to him with hopeful eyes but soon shook every single emotion left her eyes and face.
"This won't help you into making me lower my guard and let you win" he chuckled again.
"You're funny honey. Hey, that rhymed!" she glared at him as he cleared his throat and put on his serious mask "yeah about that, I'm waiting for my new girlfriend you know?" she glared at him with all her might. Sasuke diverted his gaze a bit and stared at a red head that approached them. He saw the glare the redhead sent him and he took it as a sign to leave. He pushed slightly the railing with his back and stood up, he began to walk away until he stopped and turned slightly to Hinata.
"See you around, honey" and with that he left. Hinata turned her gaze to Gaara who came towards her, slightly annoyed.
"What was the Uchiha doing near you Hinata?" she glared at Sasuke's back.
"Stalking me" he nodded.
"here you go, I couldn't find some normal water but I did find your favourite flavoured water bottles, so... here- Lemon, your favourite" she smiled at him cutely, which made him blush softly, and took the bottle he offered to her. She opened it and slowly drank the cool liquid. She exhaled.
"Thank you so much Gaara-kun" he nodded and opened his own. "You know Gaara-kun... I've never tried strawberry before... how about you let me drink a sip" he widened his eyes by a fraction and unconsciously nodded. She smiled at him again and replaced her water for his. She drew the transparent pink liquid closer to her lips and drank a sip. She moaned. Gaara had to resist a nosebleed due to the soft, unknowingly(by her) sexy noise. "It's delicious! But... not as good as my lemon water" he nodded absently as he controlled his mind, avoiding bad images from flowing into his mind. Soon an interesting thought flew into his mind. 'Indirect kiss' he saw her stand up and grab his wrist.
"Come on! It's already 2:50 pm... we need to get home. Gaara nodded and, after taking his jacket and lending it to her(it was "cold"according to Gaara AKA- you're showing too much skin, cover up) followed after her.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Bo-oring!" Temari said loudly as she channel surfed. (xD)
"Who would've thought if Hinata wasn't here it'd be so quiet?" Sakura asked as she filed her nails. Tenten nodded and stared at the ceiling.
"Tadaima!" the girls all jumped up and walked(cough- ran –cough) towards the door.
"Where were you guys?!" Ino yelled.
"Yes!! We've been waiting for a long time and due to you we've been bored!!" Tenten said as she twirled a kunai with her fingers. Hinata sighed.
"We were out exercising" she said softly as she entered the house and let go of Gaara's hands. The girls turned to Gaara and saw his disappointed expression and cocked their eyebrows... consequence: Gaara went red. Think of a tomato exploding, something like that.
"Well... I'm bored... there's nothing to do" Ino said as she remembered why they were so bored in the beginning... which still didn't change even if Hinata arrived.
"... hinata?" she turned to Ino with a wary expression.
"Yes Ino-chan?" Ino smirked.
"What do you think of shopping?" Hinata rubbed her chin and shrugged.
"Not too fan of it, why?" Ino chuckled evilly, enlightening Temari, Tenten and Sakura of her plans. Soon all of them were chuckling evilly and eyeing Hinata.
"Girls... why are you looking at me like that for?" They neared onto Hinata and once close enough they locked arms with her and carried her out the door. The door closed and opened once again.
"Gaara, come here, you'll carry the bags for us" Gaara was pulled outside by Temari... and they were never seen again... yeah right! Just kidding, neh, they arrived at Hinata's most hated place... The MALL...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oh My God! This shirt is so cute!! I love it!" Hinata wanted to be crawl into a hole and stay there... she had been wandering around that... accursed place ever since she returned from her kickboxing session... The girls had pulled her into every single store, and she meant that literally, how in the world they were still full of energy and happy was a mystery to mankind.
"...I can't take this any more!!" she yelled and pulling her arm out of Ino's fierce grip she fell down on the floor. She maintained herself there. The girls widened their eyes and blinked.
"Hina-chan?" Hinata frantically looked in every direction for a way out. ...It was an understatement to say she HATED the Mall... a true understatement... Temari sighed and stared at Gaara.
"Gaara... go fetch her" the poor redhead simply glared at his sister and sighed, already approaching the desperate girl and pulled her up, he walked over to the other girls.
"...Will you torture her any more?" the girls laughed.
"We are not torturing her... we want to buy her nice clothes" Ino said staring at her fingernails.
"Besides, Hanako-oba-san said Hiashi-oji-san's friends were coming over and you should dress like a girl not like a wannabe boy" Sakura added with a wiggle of her index finger as a way of saying 'no, no'. Hinata sighed.
"Dammit..." she mumbled and glared at her friends.
"Come on... good girl, lets buy you a nice casual dress" Hinata walked behind them, head hung low in defeat. Gaara rubbed her back and she turned to look at him, almost pleading him to save her. He chuckled.
"Everything will be fine, it's just one dress... not a death row walk" she glared at him with all her might.
"Yeah, as far as you know..." she muttered under her breath, making Gaara continue laughing. The girls were inwardly grinning for they loved the couple those two made.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sasuke, Itachi, are you two ready?" a groan and a pair of footsteps resounded as the stairs announced a new pair of occupants in the house's lobby. Fugaku looked up from his tie tying and stared at his two sons dressed in black slacks and casual dress shirts. Fugaku smiled. "Nice clean up, you two, almost like totally different persons. Come on, lets go" Itachi grabbed his iPOD and walked out the door, after grabbing his coat. Sasuke grabbed his jacket and walked out, his hands in his pockets and Fugaku grabbed his coat and closed the door. He pressed the 'unlock' button of his car keys and Itachi opened the door, letting himself in and closing it. Sasuke did basically the same thing but instead of the passenger seat her took the back seat. Fugaku prayed that the night would carry on with no problem at all... but hell was he in for a wild ride.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"This one is adorable!" Tenten squealed as she twirled Hinata around once again. A black and amethyst dress with details in silver dressed the body of Hinata. It was strapless and it had a slanted hem that at the right side ended at her mid-thigh and at the left side at her mid-calf. It was made of black silk and chiffon petticoat. It was skin tight down to the beginning of the thigh. It had a lighter violet obi in the waist, tied in the back by a big bow. The threads were bright violet and silver and the background of the dress was in black silk. The details basically formed the shape of geraniums. At the black silk hem(not the violet chiffon hem) you would find a very delicate design in black lace, as well as in the upper hem of the dress, just over her breasts. Also the dress had a pretty good emphasis in the cleavage. They complimented it with a black and silver choker with embedded amethysts and black long earrings and the end with a small onyx and amethyst. In her forearms she had black fishnet-like gloves and violet and black high heeled sandals, strapped at the back by a small strap.
"It doesn't suit me... look at my hair and eyes... doesn't go together" the girls looked at each other.
"I've always wanted to see Hina with blackish hair even if her hair now goes well..." Tenten said as she stared at the other three girls. They frowned slightly and soon turned to Hinata.
"Uh-uh, no- My hair is mid-night blue no matter how you look at it- you will NOT dye it!" Gaara simply chuckled. Ino rolled her eyes.
"We will simply put you a wig, I wanted to see you with short hair for once" the others nodded. Hinata closed her eyes tight and closed her fists.
"Nope. Let's try another dress, okay?" the girls turned to one another and shook their heads.
"We're taking it, come on, we have our dresses ready!" Temari and Sakura squealed as they rushed to the counter, Hinata about to commit suicide and Tenten and Ino satisfied with their work.
"Don't you think it's too... formal for a simple gambling night? You know I can use a simple skirt and shirt" Hinata reasoned. The girls turned to each other.
"...She has a point" Sakura, reasonably, pointed.
"...But we're still taking the dress!" Tenten countered with a glare. Sakura laughed.
"Of course silly! I mean when will she find a dress as cool as this one?!" Hinata almost thanked the heavens before that line, she pouted.
"Well you two, hurry up. We have to go to the other shops. Does everyone have decent clothes?" they all nodded.
"We only needed dresses... but skirts we all have- except little miss tomboy" Hinata scratched her cheek.
"Hehe... what can I say... shorts and pants are comfier" the girls turned to her unbelieving.
"What?! Skirts are waaaaaay better" Ino said with a smug look. Hinata sighed.
"Can we just buy a freaking skirt or even better, one of you lend me one" Tenten raised her hand.
"Girls... I have a problem... I don't have a skirt..." the girls turned to Tenten.
"Dammit! Okay, lets go, no Hina, we can't lend you one, you and Ten are the tallest ones... they'd be too short for you two. Now lets go" Temari pulled the two girls towards another store, after placing the dresses in Gaara's shopping bag filled hands.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Dad... how long till we get there?" Fugaku growled and stared at Sasuke from the mirror.
"Sasuke, how many freaking times will you ask the same thing?! We left the house 15 minutes ago!!" Itachi looked up from his cell phone and turned to his watch.
"16 minutes 25 seconds" he corrected with a bored expression. Sasuke glared at Itachi and turned to the side, staring out the window. Curiously his eyes caught sight of a big mansion in the beach, cars of all his friends parents were there. He could see all his friends outside the house talking to Lee and Neji. He chuckled and sat up straight, already aware that they had arrived. "Father... can I call some friends over?" Itachi asked curiously, staring at Fugaku. Fugaku almost banged his head in the steering wheel in frustration and sighed.
"Is the house mine?" Itachi pouted.
"Okay, okay. I'll ask Hyuuga-sama... sheesh... stingy!" Fugaku chewed on his lip to contain his exasperation and pulled over, near Tsumi's car. He finally turned off the engine and exhaled loudly. He heard his two sons open the doors to each of their seats and close them again. He took out the keys and got off.
"God... what did I do to deserve them?!" he asked in a murmur. Itachi and Sasuke snickered and hi-fived when their father entered the house.
"Nice, little brother, I wouldn't have been able to do it any better" Sasuke smirked.
"Haha, well, I guess we should go inside greet the adults and get out, right?" Itachi chuckled.
"Knowing dad, he wants us... like... 60 metres away from him. Well lets go in and cause a 'good' expression" Itachi said with a very, and I mean EXTREMELY, evil smirk.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"...That..." Temari began, gaping.
"... is..." Ino continued, almost drooling.
"...amazing!" Sakura finished. Tenten and Hinata sighed.
"Now you understand my grief?" Hinata asked Tenten. The brunette sadly nodded.
"Remember me to never allow me to be one of the test subjects" Hinata pouted.
"hey! You know that would imply I'd be the subject again!" Tenten shrugged.
"Hey, it's either you or me" Hinata pouted.
"Okay girls lets go. I'm going to pay, stay here for a second" Temari said once again. Gaara went with her to avoid any soon-to-be blood-shed...basically a very bloody nose.
"Tenten... don't you think it's too short?" Tenten laughed.
"hell yeah! I'm glad they chose mine to be below the knees! How aren't you freezing?" Hinata glared at her.
"Who said I wasn't" Tenten laughed even harder, catching Ino's and Sakura's attention.
"What's so funny?" they asked curiously. Tenten simply laughed even harder making Hinata pout and blush a bright red.
"Okay, ready. Let's go. We'll have to enter through our secret passage" Temari said sighing. "I just talked to Kankuro, everyone is already there. Come on" the girls sighed and hurried up outside the shop, knowing they had to get there soon.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey man, what's up?" Naruto hi-fived Sasuke and the other guys waved or nodded at their leader. Sasuke laughed and turned to his brother, who was calling his friends since Hiashi allowed him to.
"This is gonna be sweet" Sasuke muttered as he stared at his brother closing the cell-phone and opening it again.
"Sasuke... um... about the girls yesterday..." Sasuke turned to Neji and Lee.
"Yeah? What about them?" Neji took in a big breath and exhaled.
"Um... they aren't lesbians... and please don't take to mind their challenge" Lee turned to Neji panicked.
"Neji, I don't think that's a good idea...they'll kill you!" Neji gulped.
"please... forget about it" Sasuke cocked an eyebrow and smirked.
"Neji-chan, pal, who do you think you're talking to? You know how hard that hottie had to work to get me to accept the challenge?" Neji swallowed his anger at the nickname 'hottie' for his cousin and continued his pleading.
"Please!" Sasuke chuckled.
"no way, unless you tell us who she really is, I'll consider it" Sasuke knew he had just pinned Neji against a wall.
"Um... h-hey, how a-am I supposed to know? Right Lee?" Lee nodded hastily. The guys turned to one another.
"Man, what's up with you two?" Naruto asked confused.
"yeah, normally you two are cool, slightly eccentric but cool" Shino said with eyebrows cocked. Neji and Lee could count their time in earth- they knew Hinata's anger a little bit too well...
"Okay... shit! The 'hottie' you're talking about is my cousin, okay?!" the guys pondered on it for a second.
"I thought you only had one cousin! That big-chested chick from some years ago!" Kiba added. Neji bit his lip to contain his anger once again.
"Yeah, well that's her..." he said with a tightly clenched jaw.
"Wow... she truly changed" Shikamaru said blowing out the latest puff of his cigarette.
"I'm glad you told us the truth Neji-chan" Sasuke said grinning, fully aware that the -chan and the ways the guys were speaking about Hinata were driving him crazy. "now... nope, I won't back from the challenge. She truly is cute now, you know?" Neji held back his fist and Lee simply tried to calm him down.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Phew! Finally in! Why don't you tell your Dad to make some stairs in this side, you know how hard it is to go from the tree to the balcony?" Ino said dusting herself off. Hinata nodded.
"I'll tell him, this is truly tiring me out" she said softly, until she squealed due to Temari and Sakura pulling her inside her room.
"come on! We need to change! Also, Ino-chan, you don't mind using one of my skirts, right?" the blonde shook her head.
"As long as it isn't red it's okay" Sakura nodded.
"Okay, let's go. Tenten, get dressed with Hina!" Tenten sighed and nodded, fully weak due to the sprint they had to do. Hinata pulled out the mid-thigh grey and black denim skirt. She searched in the bag for a violet off-the-shoulder, short(like... just below the ribs), short-sleeved shirt that said 'WARNING- Hot Stuff' in neon yellow writing. And underneath a sleeveless neon purple tank-top that reached an inch below her navel, a slightly bit over her skirt, showing a tiny bit of skin. She put on her black fishnet fingerless gloves and her black and white converse. On top she added a black short (rib-low) jacket. Tenten had placed on the bed some neon purple "thick"(referring to the diameter of the edge of the earring not as in high density and thus high weight) hoop earrings. Hinata sighed and stared at the mirror.
"I hate this..." Tenten laughed.
"You look good. Definitely attention catching" Hinata pouted.
"I hate skirts" HInata murmured, Tenten hugged her.
"I know, I know, I do too but I'm here, am I not?" Tenten wore a turquoise ruffle layered skirt with a black and brown striped long-sleeved shirt underneath a slightly darker brown short-sleeved shirt that had a cute monkey face. She added a pair of low-heeled brown and turquoise flip flops and she took some tear-drop shaped earrings with a small tear-drop shape in the middle cut out in sea green and brown, almost striped.
"Ready?" Hinata nodded but pondered on it for a second.
"You don't think this is too girly for me?" Tenten laughed at the question.
"Trust me hun, you look good in both girly and boyish. How do I look?" Hinata cat-whistled and licked her lips in a teasing fashion.
"sizzling hot" they both laughed and Tenten hit Hinata softly. Hinata stuck out her tongue smiling showing that she was kidding. "Okay, okay, really good. Hey... so... have you talked to Lee?" Tenten's face ignited. Hinata couldn't contain her laughter.
"I can't believe all of you have fell in love since you came here and I haven't. I haven't fallen in love, even once" Tenten patted Hinata's head and smiled.
"Don't worry, you will, eventually, you can't force yourself to do so..." Hinata nodded like a good child.
"Come on, let's go, those three will be furious" Tenten nodded softly and followed the younger girl outside, a big smile plastered on her face.
When they reached the hallway they met Sakura, Ino and Temari. Temari was wearing a knee-high black skirt and a white and grey tank top that said 'Look, but don't touch'. She was also wearing black stilettos and black bow-shaped earrings.
"You two look so cute!! We did a totally amazing job!" she said squealing. Ino and Sakura were squealing as well.
Sakura was wearing her always favourite red colour. She wore an off-the-shoulders ivory white pullover and a red mid-thigh skirt with white mid-thigh socks with diamond-pattern and red ballet slippers. She was also wearing small ruby earrings and a pair of red ball bracelets. She grinned. Ino, instead, wore a blue mid-thigh skirt as well with silver tights and then glittery blue ballerina slippers. She also wore a baby-blue short sleeved shirt with colour degradation (begins with very light blue and gets darker and darker until it reaches blue). She had on white and blue ball necklaces and a pair of light blue bracelets in her left hand. She smiled wide and posed for them.
"What do you think?" the girls all smiled and placed two thumbs up. "Aww you're so adorable! Lets go" the girls went down the stairs and were received by delicious scents. They saw Hanako holding some cards along with Hiashi, Inoichi and Gai. There were some other people they didn't know but supposed they were Hiashi's friends.
"Daddy, Mommy" Hinata greeted softly and politely. She saw her parents raise their gaze and widen their eyes.
"Girls! You finally arrived!" Hanako stood up and turned the cards upside down and walked to the girls. "Honey... you're wearing a skirt and girly things!" Hinata pouted.
"I was made to use skirt and these things. Though I balanced it a bit with my gloves and converse" she said smiling widely. The girls laughed.
"You're still the same. Well, come on girls, let me introduce you to your father's and my friends" the girls followed Hanako who sat down and stared at the people in the table. "I hope you didn't dare look at my hand, right?" the others looked away suspiciously but all laughed. Hiashi motioned for Hinata to walk towards him and kiss him in the cheek. Hinata sighed but eventually did so. Didn't her father realize she was older now?!
"Guys these are my girls, this is my eldest daughter, Hinata. She's a sun, adorable and an excellent future heiress. These are her friends and my protegées. This here" he motioned for Tenten "is Tenten Yang, also an adorable girl, very athletic, I think she will win the olympiads in a future" he motioned for Sakura. "This is Haruno Sakura, extremely intelligent and sweet. This blondie here is Inoichi's daughter. Well I just helped them out but she's still one of my girls. I love her as one. This is Sabaku no Temari. Remember Gaara and Kankuro, from a little while ago? Well she's their older sister. Responsible and adorable. These girls are the best thing that can happen to you" Hanako giggled and the others laughed as well.
"Temari, was it?" a blue eyed blond man said. Temari smiled and nodded. "How old are you, honey?" a woman intervened. She had spiky brown hair and brown slightly rough looking eyes but a soft and gentle tone of voice. She had a pair of red teeth like tattoos on her cheeks but a sincere smile. Temari giggled.
"16" she answered with a bright smile.
Hinata tried to sneak out but couldn't due to her friends grip on her. She sighed and pouted.
"Ino, Sakura and you two?" the woman asked. They stepped closer to Temari.
"I'm 16 as well!" Ino said smiling brightly, not shy at all.
"I'm 15 and a half" Sakura said softly but with a smile. The woman nodded.
"Tenten?" Tenten looked around and had to pull Hinata closer towards them since she knew if she released the young girl she would sneak out.
"Haha, I'm 15" the woman turned to Hinata who was pouting and making a puppy face at Tenten. Tenten didn't budge.
"Hinata-chan?" Hinata sighed and walked closer, placing her aristocratic mask on she smiled.
"I'm 14" she said softly but warmly. Hiashi slapped his forehead.
"That's right! Sorry guys, forgot to introduce you. Girls, this woman here is Inuzuka Tsume. An old high-school friend, she studied veterinary and now is the owner of the chain of veterinaries in this place. This guy here is Namikaze Minato, he also studied business with me. You already know Gai and Inoichi. This other guy is Aburame Shibi, he is the owner of the forests near here used for breeding bees for honey and worms for silk. Also a business student and a high-school friend. This other guy is Nara Shikaku, owner of the famous factory of medicines 'Nara'. This is Hatake Kakashi and Hatake Jirayia, father and son, Jirayia is the husband of Tsunade, the town's mayor, and Kakashi is their son. Kakashi studied business, he was two years my junior. Jirayia I met him since he was one of our teachers. Really known for his books in business and... romance. Akimichi Chouza, owner of most of the food chains in this area and last but not least... Uchiha Fugaku, my company's rival but my best friend" the girls all said their hellos.
"Man, Hiashi your girls are all well behaved and polite, they at least come and say hello, my son stayed outside with the other boys!" Minato said disappointed. "You know what, I'll call them over here to introduce them" Hinata began to fiddle with their fingers. Other boys? Not possible... no they didn't bring him... nooooO! "Boys, come over here, we want to introduce you!!"
I finally finished. Sorry for the delay, as I said before, school. I'm finally in a short week-long vacation but I've been filled with homework so it doesn't feel like vacations at all... anyway sorry for any grammar or spelling problem. English's not my native language so... hehe. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and please review people!
