Just a few weeks ago Natsumi Hitama changed to Natsumi Namagaki and managed to have twins. The girl was named Aya Namagaki. She had black hair and a red streak running down the middle of her part. Her right eye was blue like Kureji and her left eye was purple like Yushiro. The boy was named Isamu, his left eye was purple like Yushiro and his right eye was red like Natsumi's. Like his father he had a purple streak going down the middle of his part with black hair.
Like Tsunade had said prior to them being born, Natsumi and Yushiro had already realised that their children were highly skilled in power. Maybe a new type of Kekkei Genkai? Hitama and Namagaki blood in their vains, who knew what they could become...
Isamu was bad for exploring and getting himself in trouble while Aya like to keep to herself, she took a high liking toward Kureji, never really left his side even when he tried to give her back to Natsumi.
Natsumi and Kureji were still on a thin line, but tried to get along.
"Ah! You're going to drive me insane!" Natsumi screamed glaring at Kureji.
"Ah... I'm sorry... I was trying to help...," He trailed off as he began to pick up the broken plate.
Natsumi sighed. "How is it that you're so much older, yet so useless in a kitchen?"
"Hey! I've been out fighting while you've been banging my little brother!" He snorted.
"Why you-!"
"Nat! W-why don't you come to town with me," Hikaru suggested nervously as he pulled on his sisters wrist.
"W-wha? B-but the kids?"
"Yushiro's got em', come on, you need a break. I already told Yushiro I was gonna take you out," He said as he finally got her out the door.
Outside Natsumi crossed her arms and glared at Hikaru.
"W-what?" He asked awkwardly.
"Isamu and Aya will be needing me, Yushiro can't keep them un-bored forever," She pointed out.
"Would you stop already? Come on," Hikaru began walking away.
Natsumi gave in and began to walk along side her brother.
"Must be odd," She said breaking the silence.
"What is?" He asked keeping his gaze ahead.
"Being the only Hitama left,"
He was silent for a moment before sighing. "Not really, I already thought I was before... remeber I thought you were dead,"
"O-Oh yeah... s-sorry...," She trailed off.
The two walked in silence until they reached two girls, Hinata and a girl whom Natsumi had never seen before, or maybe she had, but she had no idea of her name.
"H-Hikaru... N-Natsumi," Hinata blushed as Hikaru gave her a quick kiss.
"Hey Hinata," Natsumi greeted.
"Um... I-I ah, this is Hikari Komomoto," Hinata told the two as she looked over to her friend.
Hikari stood about an inch or two shorter than Natsumi. She had long but straight brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. Her outfit consisted of a short black skirt and a plain white dress-shirt that was buttoned up except for the top couple buttons. A black tie hung loosely around her collar as she stood there, fidgeting restlessly. She'd never been one to stand still.
Hikari stood there with a smile and stuck out her hand. "Hi hi! Like Hinata said, I'm Komonoto Hikari! Who are you guys? Hinata was just going on about her boyfriend, and I was like totally wanting to meet him!" She explained brightly.
Hikaru smiled as he took Hikari's hand gently kissing the back of it. "Well I am her boyfriend, Hikaru Hitama,"
"Oh well hello, kind sir!" Hikari replied with a giggle. She turned to Hinata, feigning seriousness. "I guess he's okay. I mean, I'm sure you could do better, but... he will do."
Hinata laughed nervously as she looked up to a confused Hikaru. "I will... do? Who do you think you are?"
"H-Hika, don't bother," Natsumi said sighing. She turned to face Hikari. "Hikari Komonoto... I sware I've heard your name before," She admitted.
"I was kidding," Hikari assured him laughing with a small pat on the shoulder. "No worries- I haven't heard anything bad about you, so I'm absolutely confident you'll be nice to her!"
She pushed a piece of hair from her face and turned to the Natsumi, tilting her head to the side. "Really?" She wondered, surprised and a bit happy. She was always joyed when people had heard about her from one place or another- well, as long as it was good things anyways.
Natsumi nodded. Who was your sensi at the academy?" She asked shuffling her feet awkwardly.
Hikari gave a laugh and scratched the back of her head. "Well, you see, I'm still a genin, and now Iruka-sensei is a jounin and he's our squad's sensei! We've failed the Chunin exams three times now!" She replied with a grin.
Natsumi laughed outwardly. "R-really? W-well I'm sure you'll get it... S-sorry! I didn't introduce myself... My name is Natsumi Hi- Namagaki," She laughed nervously, it was still confusing knowing herr own last name was different.
"Oh, I'm not too worried! If we don't make it next month, then I'm sure next year will get it! We meet so many different ninjas from different countries- it's absolutely fantastic and great getting to make so many friends!" Hikari assured her happily. She loved the exams, even if her team goofed up a lot, they had fun. "And it's nice to meet you, by the way, Namagaki!"
Natsumi laughed nervously. "I-it's still weird..." She mumbled to herself.
"D-don't worry, Natsumi, y-you'll get u-used to it," Hinata assured her.
"O-Oh I will, i-it's just weird..." Natsumi mumbled again.
"You must have started in the academy a bit later than the rest of us eh, Hikari?" Hikaru asked changing the subject again.
"Well, of course he is! He is my brother after all! Plus, you are my friend and he isn't really mean, anyways," Hikari said with a nod.
Natsumi sighed; this girls bubbly additude may be the end of her. "W-well t-this has been fun, b-but I need to get back to Aya and Isamu, n-nice meeting you, Hikaru," Natsumi began walking off when Hikaru caught her wrist.
"You need a break a I told you," Hikaru said smiling.
"B-but brother," Natsumi whined.
Hikari stood there, practically bouncing from one foot to the other- she was getting bored already. She fiddled with her tie as she stared at the - what she assumed to be - brother and sister conversation taking place in front of her.
"I need to get to Aya an Isamu, Yushiro can't look after em alone forever!"
"Natsumi would you stop? Kureji is there too, remember?"
"I don't care, he can't even make food let alone look after my kids!"
"Natsumi he's family now, you have to try and trust him," Hikaru stated sighing.
"No! I will not trust him... y-yet... h-he's just... gah!"
"H-Hinata would you like to come over, Hikari can come too," Hikaru suggested to the girls.
"Ah um... w-well if Hikari wants t-to than sure," Hinata said looking over to her friend.
"Oh sure!" Hikari replied with a playful smile.
Hikaru smiled as he let go of Natsumi to grab Hinata's hand. The four of them strolled through town until they reached Natsumi's house. When they walked in they could hear the sound of a plate breaking followed by voices.
"Oh shit... d-do you think s-she will know?" The one voice asked.
"Naah, she's not even home yet- Aya get off of him!"
"KUREJI NAMAGAKI!" Natsumi yelled stomping toward the kitchen.
"W-welcome to our sweet little home," Hikaru said, sarcasum evident.
Hikari observed the house with a nod. "It's cute," She stated happily, completely oblivious to the situation that was occurring in the kitchen.
Hikaru led the two to the kitchen where Natsumi was literally stragling Kureji.
"L-let go of him, Nat," Yushiro told her helplessly as he held onto the two kids.
"No. More. Cooking. For. YOU!" Natsumi glared at Kureji before releasing his throat, ignoring his hacking.
Natsumi turned and smiled at Hikari. "Komonoto Hikari, this is my husband, Namagaki Yushiro," She said happily taking the little boy from his arms.
"Hey," Yushiro said with a small smile.
"Hey! Nice to meet you!" She greeted brightly.
"W-wait... n-not gonna introduce me?" Kureji asked sounding offended.
"Hikari, that's trash, trash, meet Hikari," Natsumi said dryly as she kept her gaze away from the oldest boy.
"I'm not trash!" Kureji snorted, his eyes turning red for a split second. "My name is Kureji Namagaki, Yushiro's older brother and unfortunatly her brother in-law," He said just as dryly as Natsumi had.
Hikari nervously stuck out her hand, the other scratched the back of her head as she gave an uncomfortable laugh. "Oh c'mon! You guys shouldn't talk about each other like that!" She exclaimed, offering a smile to the pair of them.
Hikaru laughed, then said, "Good luck, Yushiro and I haev been trying to get them to understand that since the day they met,"
Hikari pulled back her hand after a moment, before looking over at Hikaru. "Well, I don't see the point in worthless bickering," She told him with a giggle and a shrug. It was true; she never was big on arguing or fighting.
Hikaru smiled. "Agreed,"
"Easier said than done," Natsumi took Aya from Yushiro before walking off.
"S-sorry about her," Yushiro said nervously.
"Oh, no worries!" She assured him with a careless wave of her hand. "I'm used to people arguing over silly things and getting all grumpy!"
Yushiro raised a brow to the girl - she was seriously ... happy. "W-well I b-better go and help Nat," He quickly walked off.
Hikaru wrapped his arms around Hinata and Hikari, leading them to the livingroom.
"Don't take their ... ways oddly... Yushiro and Natsumi are majorly alike in the way that they don't know how to deal with people like you," Hikaru explained to Hikari.
"Oh wait... what?" Hikari asked, blinking up at him in confusion. Had she been doing something wrong? She wasn't all too sure what he'd meant by that.
Hikaru laughed as the three of them sat down, he removed his arm from around Hikari to pull Hinata closer.
"You're a lot like Naruto Uzamaki, they have nothing against him, they just don't know how to deal with his personailty because he's so bright, that's all I meant,"
"Oh am I?" She wondered, looking up at the ceiling. She hadn't put much thought into him, since he was more of her brother's friend than her own. She gave a laugh and shrugged. "I didn't mean to disturb them!"
He laughed. "You didn't, don't worry!"
Suddenly there was a knock to the door. Kureji could be heard talking to some people before Gaara and Naruto entered the room.
"L-Lord Kazekage!" Hikaru stood abruptly.
"Where is Natsumi and Yushiro?" Gaara asked.
"U-Upstairs," Hikaru told him.
"Hey Hikari," Naruto greeted with a wink.
Hikari gave a tiny wave. "Yo, Naruto! What's up?"
"Same as always, I didn't know you knew the Namagaki's," He said walking around and sitting down beside her as Gaara went upstairs.
"Oh well, we just met, you see!" She explained with a smile.
He laughed as he casually wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Nice," He said simply with a small but cute smile.
Hikari tried to not take notice in the arm around her shoulders- she knew that Kazuk wouldn't be impressed if she felt his friend was hitting her up. "Yeah!" She agreed happily.
Gaara and Yushrio finally came downstairs while being tailed by Natsumi with the twins.
"W-what do you m-mean sir?" Yushiro asked like he was trying to clairlfy something.
"You heard me right, Yuhiro,"
"T-this can't be right s-sir, w-we just got settled," Natsumi broke in.
"I'm sorry, and you, Hikari," Gaara suddenly said looking at her.
"Wait, what? Hm?" Hikari asked, confused as she looked up at Gaara.
"I need you to come as well," The sand ninja said before walking out.
"He means to Suna," Naruto explained.
"I don't get it," She stated, her airhead quality kicking in. Sure, she was a good ninja, but she was still only a genin, so that meant she couldn't really do anything big and important, right?
Naruto stood up and smiled. "Gaara is passing you to be a Chunin so you can be uselful," He explained.
"W-What? But the rest of my squad! And well, that isn't fair," Hikari quickly got out, jumping up off the couch and shaking her head.
"Them too, see he needs more ninja up there again, you and your squad how great skill, even though you have failed all the exams... He's going to pass you all and take you up to Suna along with me, Sakura and Sai. These guys have to move back up there," He said guestering to the Namagaki's.
"B-But, I haven't even done a C rank mission! This is totally like uncool!" She exclaimed with a pout.
"Don't complain to me, complain to the Kazekage," Naruto said simply.
She wrapped her hand around her tie and let out a huff. Hikari was alright with change, but not something to this extreme.
"Gaara is with Grandma Tsunade right now, go talk to them," Naruto suggested.
Hikari gave a nod and headed out the door. As the door closed she skidded to a halt, popping her head back in. "Sorry to leave so soon! That is rather rude of me, but I promise next time not to be so rude!"
Hinata ran after Hikari. "I-I'm, coming with you, s-sorry Hikaru, I-I'll be back," She smiled.
The two girls headed to the Hokage's and Hikari banged on the door. "Granny Tsunade!" She called, her voice whiney.
There was silence from behind the door before Shikamaru opened the door. "Oh, hey guys," He said moving aside.
"Oh, Hikari... what're you doing here?" Tsunade asked.
"I-I can't be a chunin!" Hikari replied, walking into the room. "That just is totally uncalled for!"
"Oh, that, um, Gaara needs more chunin ninja down in Suna, and well, you are capable of being one, you and your squad," Tsunade explained.
Hikari stood in front of the Hokage's desk and brought her hands down swiftly. "My squad and I clearly aren't! Otherwise we would have been chunins by now! Wait for next month when more genins become ninjas!" She demanded, shaking her head. She didn't like the idea of becoming a chunin.
"Suttle down, Hikari, if you're that against it we can find someone else," Tsunade said nervously.
Hikari paused in the middle of another sentence. "Actually, I'm over it," She told Tsunade with a yawn. "Though, how long would we be stuck there? I mean like, I doubt they have good places to like shop and stuff!"
"Um... I have t-to disagree, Hikari... T-they h-have some very n-nice places to s-shop," Hinata said happily.
"It would be a couple months at most," Tsunade told her.
"And my whole squad would come, right? Even Iruka-sensei, right? We've never gone on a mission without him..."
Tsunade nodded.
"Well, I guess that's okay then!" Hikari agreed brightly with a nod. "But... when we get back can you like make us genins agai, 'cause this is like cheating and we want to make it through becoming a genin on our own eventually! You like know?"
"Why don't we put you into one more try to be a chunin? If you fail, you stay here, if not, you go," Tsunade suggested.
She blinked in surprise at Tsunade's idea. "Really? You'd be willing to wait that long? That's so radical!" Hikari exclaimed, bouncing on her feet.
Tsunade sighed. "Yes well, we want to take everyone all at once, and it will take a bit before the Namagaki's are ready to go," She said. "They are moving up there yet again,"
"Again?" Hikari wondered, sitting down and putting her feet up on Tsunade's desk .
Tsunade nodded. "Yushiro and Natsumi had to move there about five years ago, they had just gotten back a few months ago, we held off because they had kids but now we need them back in Suna, along with their brothers."
Hikari nodded. "Wait, wait, okay, so they went there five years ago, right?" She asked to clarify. "So does that mean they're from here like Konoha ninjas? Or wait, are they like from there but then like came here, then like left again? Or wait, no no. Tsunade, I'm confusing myself."
Tsunade laughed as she walked around to the front of her desk. "There is a lot you don't know about Natsumi and Yushiro. Their pasts aren't exactly the brightest... they are both originally from here, but we moved them to help, and now we need them out there again, though they will most likey stay there this time," She explained.
"Oh wait, so you're like ditching them there? Or do they like wanna go back? Do they know they're gonna stay there? I wonder if they're are any hotties there...," Hikari spoke quickly, playing with her tie. "Oh gosh! This is gonna be like a vacation! I've never been outta the village before, not once!"
Gaara cleared his throat. "This is not a vacation, when we need your help you will be called,"
Tsunade laughed nervously. "We are not ditching them, and they don't really want to go, but they knew that Lord Kazekage would be calling on them soon,"
"Wait wait," Hikari said, standing up and pointing over at Gaara. "Who are you, anyways? Like you've been walking around and acting like you're the Hokage, but Tsunade is and I've never seen you before. Are you like a knew sensei or something? Or like her grandchild or something? Wait, granny Tsunade! When did you get kids? Can I be their godmother- oh please?"
"N-no, Hikari d-don't talk to him like that!" Hinata warned tugging on Hikari's arm.
"Wait, what, why not? I'm not talking like anything!" She exclaimed with a laugh, still pointing at him.
"H-he's the Lord Kazekage," she said nervously.
"Oh!" Hikari responded with a laugh. She took a step forward. "Well, I am Komonoto Hikari! What's your name?"
Gaara lifted a non exsitent eye brow. "I am Sabaku no Gaara," He looked down at her outstretched hand and sighed. "You aren't very bright, clearly,"
"Wait, what? No, no, I truly am!" She assured him with a bright grin, still holding her hand out. "Isn't that right granny Tsunade? I'm one of the brightest genin from the academy!"
Tsunade faced palmed. "Gaara isn't like me, Hikari, holding out your hand is useless. But yes, you are very bright... Just not so much when it comes to respect toward important people," She mumbled.
"What's that granny? I couldn't catch that last bit there! I swear I'm so bright I'd light up a darn room just by lighting in, Gaara-san, it's true!" She exclaimed, still not retracting her hand.
"H-Hikari, y-you're making yourself l-look like an idiot in front of the Kazekage," Hinata said nervously.
"You remind me of Naruto Uzamaki," Gaara told her reaching out his hand to hers.
Hikari's grin grew even bigger as she shook his hand. "I seem to be getting that comment a lot," She told him with a laugh.
Gaara looked to be almost smiling as he took his hand back. "I suppose it would shock you to know I am only a year older than you," Gaara said to her.
"Really? I didn't know that! And you're a kage? Holy crap! You've really done a lot! When I finally pass the chunin exams I wanna do something cool like that, too!" Hikari told them all, throwing her fist into the air. She jumped on top of the desk and pointed down at her friends. "All of you in this room, right now better listen up! I'm gonna become something great! Really am! And I promise I'm never gonna fail from now on!"
Shikamaru laughed. "If you're going for Hokage, you gonna fight Naruto for it,"
Flames burned in her eyes. "No, Shikamaru! I am gonna be bigger than Hokage! I will take over the entire world!" Hikari exclaimed, knowing that the thought sounded twisted, but when she said it, it sounded pretty darn cool.
"Good luck with that," Shikamaru said smirking.
"I don't need luck! From this day on out; I will not stop until the day I die!" She cried out, bouncing with excitement.
"Stop what? You're not making sence," From behin everyone stood Naruto with a smirk on his face. "I came to talk to Gaara, I thought you'd be gone by now, Hikari,"
She pointed her finger straight at him, determination showing itself fullforce. "I will not stop until I have control over the world! And there will be no more fighting! And no need for anyone to get hurt!" Hikari replied.
Naruto laughed as he stepped into the room. "Not before I do!" He hopped up on the table beside Hikari.
"Is there a reason yuo two idiots are on my desk?" Tsunade asked irritated.
Naruto ignored her and looked to Hikari. "Believe it!"
"Just because you're a year older than me means nothing! Hokage? Pft! Screw that! I'm not gonna be taking care of one country- it'll be the world that's way bigger than your dream!" Hikari exclaimed with a confident nod, also ignoring Tsunade's question.
Naruto glared at her. "You can't do anything better than Hokage!" He told her getting frustrated.
A grin was still on her face- completely oblivious to his frustration. "Yes I can! I'm gonna bring a whole new world order! A Hokage can't do that, right granny Tsunade?" Hikari questioned thetorically.
Tsunade sighed deeply. "Get off my desk and take your fight outside, I'm busy,"
"Wait, fight? Where?" Hikari wondered, looking around the room.
Shikamaru sighed. "Sure you aren't blonde like Naruto?"
She pulled on a strand of hair and studied it before shaking her head. "Nope! I am totally not blonde!" Hikari replied brightly, neither of them getting off the desk yet. "But no really; where's the fight? Gaara and Hinata aren't causing that much of a ruckus!"
Naruto laughed. "Let's go Hikari!" He said happily grabbing her wrist and taking her out if the room.
She followed behind him. "Where?" She questioned.
Naruto smiled and said nothing as he continued to run dragging Hikari along. Finally they stopped at a field of lillies. Naruto blushed as he picked one and handed it to Hikari. "I-I know you l-like lillies, s-so I thought I should show you this," He said awkwardly trying to loose the blush from his face.
"Aw thank-you!" She thanked, accepting at with a bright smile. "I've always liked lillies! My mom used to bring them home almost every week and put them in a vase and leave 'em on the kitchen table! They smell so good and are so pretty!"
Naruto's blush grew. "Y-you're welcome... I ah... n-need to go see Natsumi, w-wanna come?"
"Sure!" Hikari answered, completely oblivious to how awkward the hyper-active ninja in front of her was behaving.
"Ah okay," He said as he started running.
She followed beside him, feeling like she was going a lot slower than normal. She'd always been at a faster pace than people around her- talking, running, shopping. She was just always so hyper and ahead of the game at times.
AN: Well it took me FOREVER to com up with a way to continue this, but thanks to my friend and her OC Hikari Komonoto, I have one! ^^ Update soon, I do not own Naruto or any of the characters :/
