For all you Kagome/Deidara fans, go check out my newest story upload: Letters That Transcended Time!
Disclaimer: I suppose since these are required, I must say, "I do not own anything of this fic but the idea!"
xxvi — accidental
"K-K-Kagome-san, are you s-sure that this will w-work?" stammered out Hinata, the Hyuga heiress much more unnerved than usual.
"I'm not only sure, Hinata-chan, I'm positive!" the raven-haired female beside her assured, lifting up a hand.
A squeak of surprise poured through the lilac-eyed kunoichi's lips when she felt a playful, encouraging slap right above her bottom.
"Now go get 'em, tiger!" Kagome prompted with a wide grin, pointing at a particular blond male in the distance. "Chop chop!"
Hinata gulped, her complexion accentuated by crimson.
"O-o-okay, Kagome-san."
Kagome observed her 'pupil' with pride as the latter waddled ahead with the questionable grace of a penguin.
—only to collapse midway on the road.
She made a reflexive start towards the Hyuga, when Uzumaki Naruto beat her to the punch from the opposite end.
"Huh? Hinata-chan!" the boy exclaimed.
Her mouth crooked up in a smile.
"Well, I suppose it could work out this way, too," Kagome mused as she watched the pair.
I still think my whole career was accidental. I didn't pursue it. I feel like I'm cheating sometimes.

Author's Note: 'Cause Hinata really does need some form of moral support in the backdrop. Planning on 20+ new additions for Reverie this weekend in celebration of Thyme Spirit's birthday. :)
