Hidan drives up to the gate and I jump out of the car. The gates won't open no matter how much I bang on them. A voice comes from a speaker in the wall, scaring me. "Hinata, what on earth do you think you're doing?"

I dance over to the speaker and press buttons. "Hiya, Daddy!" When the gate opens, I run inside, spinning all the way to the door. He's waiting at the top of the steps, arms crossed. He must be tired, too, cause he looks even grumpier than the gang did.

"Hinata Hyuuga. Where do you think you've been? And what is that awful smell?"

I crinkle my nose as I get near him. "You mean your smell?" After that he looks like his eyes could shoot lasers from his eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused," I tell him, dancing on the spot. Then I get serious. "Have you ever put penut butter in soup?"

"No, I have not." His eyes get narrower. "Don't try to change the subjet."

"But there is no subject," I argue. He can be so dumb. " Do we have any horseradish?"

Suddenly his eyes widen. Hopefully that means he knows where it is. He grabs my arm and drags me inside the living room. " You really need to cut your nails," I complain as he sits across from Itachi. Itachi looks very confused, so I wave at him.

"The principal called," Father tells me.

"About what?" I ask innocently.

"About how you left at the beginning of third period and didn't show up at all for fourth. Itachi was kind enough to come over and see if you were alright. He told me everything."

I'm amazed "Everything in the whole wide world?"

Father looks like he'd explode at any moment. I looks like he'd realized something. Maybe the wonders of horseradish. "Stop fidgeting. He told me what happened at lunch."

Itachi puts a hand on my knee to stop my wiggling. It tickles. " , I think your daughter is … To put it gently, under the influence of…" His hand flops around like a dead fish. "Marijuana"

Father turns around, eyes as big as the moon. "Is this true?" His expression makes me giggle.

Itachi's angry now. "Hidan put you up to this, didn't he? I should have known he would do something like this. It was foolish of me to leave you alone."

"Hidan? Hidan and me are beessssst friends. He says they're called 'joints'."

Father couldn't take another word. He grabs my arm and pulls me upstairs. Once I'm in my room, he locks the door from the outside. "You're not leaving this room until you've calmed down.

"Okay," I tell him, twirling to the bed. Hopefully he'll bring me some horseradish.
