Chapter 07 - Hard working mice
"Hand me the scissors, will you?" Ino asked, holding her hand out towards her dark haired peer.
"Uhm… Here." The Hyuuga put the scissors in her friend's hand.
The Yamanaka girl thanked her friend and looked down at her handicraft again. It was nearly finished now. All that was left was to wrap it up and then she could fasten all the loose ends.
"What are you making, Ino?" Tenten was leaning forward in her seat, looking at the bundle of dark red threads.
"A scarf," Ino told her, a slight blush in her face. She had never been very good with craftwork, still, she was quite proud of being able to complete the craft. Holding it up, she let the others have a look at it. "What do you guys think?"
"You still haven't learned to count I see?" The pink haired girl remarked. The words were a bit harsh, but Ino knew, that even though it might didn't sound like it, her friend's words were just friendly teasing.
"Oh, shut up, forehead," She spat back. "I don't see you doing anything like this."
"Well, not all of us have the time to," Sakura bit back, snipping a thread of her own. "And if I had had the time to knit, you know my scarf would at least look like one."
"Sakura..." Hinata protested. That comment was just a little too much. "I-I think it looks good, Ino. Who is it for?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet," The blond girl lied. "Probably someone that I feel could make use it." She turned her attention to her rival once again. "So anyway, forehead, what are you so busy making over there?"
"A bedspread." Proudly she lifted the fabric high enough for the others to see. The fabric was of a light sky blue and had small white and blue birds of different kinds floating on it - looking like they were flying on the sky.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Tenten complimented. "You really have outdone yourself this time. I mean, wow! I would totally buy one of those if you'd let me."
A blush appeared in Sakura's cheeks and she lifted her hand, putting a stray hair behind her ear in an embarrassed motion.
"What are you doing over there, Tenten?" The blonde cut in, irritated by the fuss over some stupid bedsheet.
"Me? Well," Tenten looked down on the desk in front of her. "I'm not doing anything special, really, not like you guys. Basically. I'm just making some Christmas cards. You know, cutting paper figures and gluing them one before adding some glitter."
"That's cool! Who are you making them for?" Ino replied. She really loved the Christmas card tradition, and in her mind she noted that she had to make some herself when she got home.
"Everyone. I mean. In the beginning I was just thinking of you guys and my team, but then I thought: Why not, It's not like there is a terrible amount of work to do one, and I know that everyone will be happy to receive one."
"That-that is so nice" Hinata said, smiling at her friend. "If only I could have thought of that too..."
"You're free to join me if you like. All of you are. Just help me getting the rest of them finished and we can all sign them."
"You sure?" Sakura asked. "It's a nice offer, but, I mean, you put down a whole lot of-"
"Don't sweat it, okay?" The weapon kunoichi cut her off. "Think of it this way: You'll save me some time."
The other girls smiled and nodded.
"So, Hinata, you never told us what you were working on." Sakura noted, looking over at the shy girl.
"Ehm..." Fastening her needle, she held up her work in front of them.
"That's, That's. Oh my god, Hinata. That is some of the most beautiful embroidering I've ever seen! Where did you learn to do that?"
The Hyuuga girl blush tremendously at Tenten's compliment.
"Ehm… My mother showed me… I was thinking of giving this to her..."
"That is an awesome idea. Could you show me how to that that? I really wanna make some of my own!"
"Yeah, me too!"
"I think I'd probably fail at it, but I would like to give it a try."
The girls gathered around the Hyuuga heir, watching and listening to her explanation of the art. Who knew, maybe next year they all would give away an embroidery?
