Chapter: Reinserting One's self
OOOOO
After a few minutes, the kids let each other go and Sakura wiped the tears from Sam's cheeks as he gave a watery smile in thanks. Naruto rubbed his head and Sasuke patted his back while Haku smiled holding the boy's hand.
"Get used to it, kid. We're very affectionate and cuddly in our pack but we'll fight tooth and nail if anyone messes with you" Naruto said and Sam scoffed with a smile, looking up at the blonde.
"Kid? I'm older and taller then you" Naruto chuckled
"In age and beauty but not in wisdom" ruffling his hair one last time, Naruto went back to his seat as did everyone else. Kakashi kissed Dean's head and sat back in his own chair so the boy can slip off Zabuza's lap but not before said man nuzzled his cheek.
"I'm sorry for bringing everyone down" Dean started but Sasuke stopped him
"You didn't, don't worry about it. Like the dobe says"
"Hey!"
"We're a pack and we take care of our own" and held out a piece of sausage to the blonde who frown but took the piece offering. "Then again I've never been in a pack but if it's anything like this family, you'll love it" Naruto smiled at him and knew he was forgiven.
"But what brought it on anyways?" Haku asked as he took a bite of his eggs
"Um"
"Because of Dean's work, he doesn't go out during the day" Sam helped his brother in answering a question he'd never liked answering to anyone.
"Dean's former work" Zabuza said as he started on his own plate and both the brothers looked at him in confusion. "You're not working there anymore. You don't need to" was all he said,
"Oh" Dean was actually surprised because he assumed he'd still have to work to pay for stuff and the look must be on his face because Haku spoke up.
"Don't worry Dean sweetie" eyes to the other boy "As long as you are ours, you never have to worry about money ever again. Isn't that right Zabuza-san?" Haku said as he took a sip of his drink.
Both brothers looked to the boy then each other as they mouthed 'Ours' and smiled when they realized they liked the word.
"That being said. We are going to their place to pack up while Kakashi and Naruto head over to your former workplace to tell them your resignation and get your final pay" Dean went to open his mouth but Zabuza turned to him and held his face in his hand.
"No body of mine is going to work in a place they have to, to make ends meet. You will work in a place that you want to with a job you are passionate about" Zabuza rubbed his nose with the boy "Besides, Haku is right, money is of no option when it come to this pack, isn't that right?" a chorused agreement all around and Zabuza pecked the boy "I meant it this morning; as long as you are mine, you'll never have to worry about things like that for you or for your brother. Okay?"
Dean was speechless but nodded.
"Okay" Sam said with a smile as he relaxed and ate his waffles.
"Then it's settled" Zabuza leaned back in his chair and looked around "We'll head out after breakfast"
"Then what?" Sakura asked
"Shopping" Zabuza smiled at Sakura and Haku cheering.
"Yeah…. We might be awhile but by all means take your time with that" Kakashi said and winked at the blonde who stifled a smile but nodded with the scarecrow
"Yeah…. I'm going to go with them, they'll need the hand and I'll keep them in line" Sasuke added as the thought of shopping without his blonde sounded like torture and the look Kakashi was giving his blonde was something he like to keep to a minimum.
"You don't even know where we're going" Kakashi said cheekily as he scooped up food in his mouth.
"Yes but the thought of you and Naruto in the same room calls for trouble"
"Hey!"
"And I'd like to keep my dobe the way he is, thank you very much"
"Aww teme" Naruto melted a little then blushed when Sasuke leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Anyways" Sakura looked to the boys but Sam spoke up,
"Dean worked in the red district"
"Sam!"
"That's why he doesn't like going out during the day"
"Sam" growled in warning
"We had a couple incidents and we had to move a couple times because of that"
"Dammit Sammy" Dean grumbled as he rubbed his red face.
"But only as a waiter, nothing else"
"That's where I recognized you from!" Naruto exclaimed and everyone was stunned into silence to look at the blonde. Sasuke quirked a brow in question and a hint of jealousy in his eyes that said blonde saw.
"Not like that Teme. It was one of those nights where Kakashi needed a wingman and we'd sneak out" Sasuke face palmed and dropped his head on the table, mumbling 'of course you did'
"Anyways. I lost him one night. Freaking guy took off on me while I went to the bathroom and I couldn't locate him because someone lowered their signature" Kakashi whistled "So I had to search the old fashion way by looking into each and every club of the district"
"They wouldn't let some kid into the clubs, it's illegal" Sam said
"But they would let in a pretty legal aged blonde"
Sasuke thumped his head on the table "You didn't"
"I did. My Jutsu can work wonders if used in the proper setting. I'd usually transform into an older version of me when we go out but in desperation to find the damn scarecrow and not wanting to be held up by a line, I transformed into a woman version of me"
Sasuke thumped his head on the table again as Sakura looked confused between both boys. Haku, Kakashi and Zabuza looked intrigued while the brothers looked worried.
"If I remember correctly, I looked like this that night" Naruto stood from the table and did the hand signs.
Poof!
"Whoa!" Sam whispered with his eyes wide.
"Damn!" Dean exclaimed as he tilted his head to the side just a bit.
Zabuza whistled his appreciation of the view.
Kakashi turned to stone.
Sakura was gobsmacked.
Haku giggled and Sasuke thumped his head on the table again.
In place of a small blonde boy now stood a tall busty, thin waist and long blonde haired woman dressed in a red miniskirt with pink stockings and mid length white tank top with a high pony tail and makeup. Girl Naruto twirled to show off her figure then brought a finger to her cheek and gave a wink to the table.
"Hey! I remember you!" Dean said as the table turned to him "Yeah, you came in a month ago to the club dressed like that, I thought you were a new girl. Then a couple of regulars grabbed you and I tried to help but you said"
"Don't worry, big boy. I got this" Naruto repeated what he said in a very sickly sweet voice with a manicured hand on Sasuke's shoulder as he thumped his head again on the table.
"Right. Then you took the guy to the back room" when Dean said that part, Sasuke's head snapped up making Dean wince and Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand but a finger to the lips silence the boy as Naruto looked to Dean.
"You only saw me take him to the back room but instead I took him to the back exit of that back room and smashed every bone in both his hands" Sasuke released a breath then tugged the boy-girl down where he placed a kiss on a cheek. Naruto smiled at Sasuke then smirked at everyone else.
"After making a grown man cry, I told him to never show his face to that club again"
"And I never saw him again after that. Thank you, that guy was a piece of work" Dean said with a nod as Naruto nodded back. Then Naruto felt a squeeze of his hand and rolled his eyes, dispelling the jutsu and sitting back down on his seat.
"Never do that again" Surprisingly it was Sakura who said that.
"I don't know. I think it'll be an experience to dress up Naruto" Haku said and winked at the blonde "Especially with a figure like that"
Sasuke groaned but waved his hand for the others to say their piece.
"I'm not saying don't do that for your benefits, Sasuke-kun. More like for the mental health of our sensei" Sakura pointed to the still statue Jonin "Either he turns to that or have a heart attack. I don't think they'll have a Jonin for us if this one bites the dust"
Naruto snapped his fingers and waved his hand in front of the Jonin's face but nothing and Naruto sat back down, turning to his friend.
"I think I broke him, teme"
OOOOO
When Roxanne got back to the apartment and opened her door, she wasn't surprised to see purchases all over the kitchen table and chairs. Seeing that her clones were organizing these purchases by group, Roxanne went over to her room and laid back on the bed, cracking her knuckles.
After listening to the bustling of the other room, Roxanne tuned them out and reached out her senses to the village limit around her. Locating both groups at different ends of the village and with the spikes of chakra admitting from them, they are all training. Sitting up and standing, Roxanne went to the kitchen and gave out orders to her clones who nodded back as she took off.
Standing on the railing and breathing in the afternoon air, Roxanne smirked before leaping off and free falling until she closed in on the ground below where she disappears. Appearing far away above the trees, Roxanne started running over the tops then dipped down to jump the branches until she reached a training ground and stopped.
Looking out to the distance, she could see three figures in defense mode against their sensei and so, Roxanne sat down on a branch and watched their movements.
Shikamaru, Ino and Choji used their weapons to fight and dodge all attacks from their sensei's clones from all sides. Said sensei, Asuma's clones were many and didn't give any leeway to his squad.
Roxanne watched all their footwork and hand coordination, studying their techniques in the Taijutsu levels and thought how they would do with her as their training partner. Then she thought on her own training and smiled when she remembered that she had to increase her weights. Then frowned when she thought how she missed training with her boys but smirked when she realized that when they do train together again how surprised they'll be.
Looking up to see the group pause in their training to see Shikamaru pointing at her and she gave a wave in greeting. Their sensei's shoulder slumped then nodded to his squad before puffing away in a cloud of smoke.
Disappearing and reappearing in front of the group, Roxanne smiled: "Sup guys"
"Roxanne!" Ino screamed then launched herself into Roxanne's arms who picked her up and twirled her around while laughing and hugging her tightly. Setting the girl down, Roxanne pushed her to arms length and took a good look at her.
Ino's hair grew longer, she grew probably an inch taller and could see small amount of muscles lined her body. All in all, Roxanne was enjoying the view and when Ino noticed, she blushed then swatted her arm.
"Roxanne" and giggled.
"What? Can't someone appreciate such a difference in their friend's" Roxanne's eyes ran up and down her body "physique" and wiggled her brows, making Ino blush and giggle.
Ino then pulled Roxane back to her and hugged her tightly one last time before stepping back. Choji, munching on a bag of chips, stepped forward and leaned into Roxanne, who wrapped her arms around the big boy and squeezed. Words didn't need to be said between them but Choji lifted a piece of chip for her and Roxanne took it in her mouth, winking at the boy. Choji hummed then stepped back.
Shikamaru watched as his teammates greeted the girl but all he saw was someone entirely different then the last girl he saw. This one's muscles were more defined, more compacted as she moved flawlessly. Her tail looked more silkily and smooth. Her hair looked like it was recently cut because the blue streak is shorted then last time he saw it. Her chakra was another big difference because Roxanne was hiding it or keeping it at the same levels from when she left, something she didn't do before. And when those eyes meet his, Shikamaru's breath hitched. Those eyes told a lot more then it should know at her age but in a split second that look was gone and in it's place is a childlike glee.
Filing that away to exam later, Shikamaru held his arms out and soon those strong arms wrapped around his neck as his own wrapped around her body. Burying his face in her neck, Shika took in a breath and sighed. Roxanne copied Shika but purred at his scent, making Shikamaru shake with laughter. They held on longer then she did with the other two but they didn't mind, they knew Roxanne and Shikamaru had some kind of an understanding with each other that they didn't understand but will stand by.
Soon, Shika loosen his grip and held Roxanne back at arms length and smiled at the girl.
"You have been gone far to long, missy" Roxanne snorted "And what's worse, you didn't even get us anything on your travels" tsk, tsk, tsk "Bad friend, bad little miss Roxanne" Shikamaru scolded with a straight face and Roxanne couldn't hold it in as she threw her head back and laughed then hugged the boy again as the rest of the squad laughed with her.
When Roxanne let the boy go, she smirked then snapped her fingers and Poof! A clone appeared beside her and in her arms are a wooden box with a smaller velvet box on top.
"You'd really think I'll go out of this world just to come back empty handed?" tsk, tsk, tsk "You wound me, Shika! How will I ever go on knowing you have no faith in me" a hand to her chest and the other hand on her head as she threw her head back in mock misery but that illusion cracked when Roxanne snorted and straighten up.
Shikamaru shook his head and Ino laughed while Choji kept on munching. Smiling, Roxanne waved at the clone to hand out gift to their respectful places.
Shika got the big box and Ino got the small velvet one while the clone handed over an envelope to the munching boy. They all looked at Roxanne and when she nodded they opened them up.
"Wow" then a scream in excitement as Roxanne and her clone covered their ears.
"Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god, OH MY GOD!"
Roxanne and her clone smiled at each other then the clone puffed away to continue on with her other duties as Roxanne watched Ino scream and dance around.
Shikamaru stood staring in the open box in his arms, ignoring the screaming from his teammate.
Choji, however, gave a loud belly laugh then grabbed Roxanne in one of his big bear hugs, being mindful of the hands still covering her ears.
When Ino finally stopped screaming, she started crying instead and she latched on to Roxanne like a lifeline after Choji set be back on her feet. Roxanne held the crying girl in her arms and rubbed her back as she watched the different expression crossed Shikamaru's face.
After a moment, Ino calmed down enough to thank Roxanne profusely for her gift and let the girl go. Roxanne patted the girl on her back one more time before stepping over to Shikamaru, tilting her head to the side in question then giving out a squeak of surprise when Shikamaru slammed her body to his, burying his face in her neck with a shudder.
"Thank you" he whispered into her neck and Roxanne relaxed, wrapping her arms around her friend and gave a squeeze. Shikamaru held on for his own lifetime and when he let go, he rubbed his nose with Roxanne making her smile.
"You didn't have to" He whispered but Ino jumped right in
"Don't listen to him, Roxanne. We appreciate and accept any and all gifts you want to buy us"
Shikamaru glared at his teammate then sighed before turning to his best friend.
"What did you get?" Choji smiled then waved a bundle to the boy who could clearly see vouchers for restaurants and if his eyes are correct, he also sees it's all you can eat that had him grinning and chuckling. Choji, however just beamed with unrestraint glee as Ino laughed at her friends before showing the boys what she got.
Nestled in the little velvet box is a opal encrusted scrunchie in purple and just all shiny that Ino squealed again. Shikamaru's brows shot to his hairline at the hair accessory in stunned silence just as Choji who dropped his bag of chips. Both looked up to the tailed girl whose said tail is swishing side to side in glee and smiling at the boys, giving a shrug as she turned to Ino's giddy expression.
"I saw it and thought of you so naturally I would get it. It's no big deal"
"No big deal" Shikamaru whispered as Choji nodded.
"And I'd gladly take any gifts you think I remind you of. Thank You!" Ino yelled, bowed then again launched herself into Roxanne's arms.
Shikamaru sighed, pinched his nose then looked down to his own gift. 'I can't say I agree with Ino but then what does that say about me accepting her gift' Then at Choji who now resuming his chip eating and gripping onto the bundle of vouchers with an iron fist.
"So, Choji?" Said friend turned to Shika "Any of those vouchers have a group discount?" Choji nodded "Ok, well, we might as well make good use of it" again Choji nodded then Shikamaru turned to the girls.
"Rain check guys, I still have a bit of errands to run" Roxanne said as she lightly pushed Ino to the boys "But when we're all not going on missions, then we'll do some cloud gazing" all three nodded.
"Laters" Blowing them a kiss and wink before puffing away.
Ino smiled then turned to the boys, latching onto Choji's arm and pulled them away from the training grounds as Shika followed next to them.
"She's a bit off, don't you think?" Ino asked Shikamaru who nodded once.
"Do I even need to ask if you know what that means or are you going to keep that to yourself?"
Shikamaru thought about it for a moment then nodded.
"Of course you are" Ino shook her head then asked Choji which restaurants they're using today as Shikamaru looked up to the skies, following instep with his friends and shaking his head of a violet colored eyes.
OOOOO
Knowing where the other group is, Roxanne went a different route as she had gifts for one household and putting in the hands of the right person is the best idea then giving it to anyone else would cause disaster.
Landing on a branch in one of the taller tree around the property, Roxanne reach out her senses to find that none of the pups, human or dogs, were around and searched around to make there are no unwanted visitors. Satisfied with that, Roxanne jumped down and walked to the front door, ringing the doorbell and waited patiently.
When the door opened, Roxanne smiled at Kiba's mother who looked surprised to find her on their doorstep. Roxanne then bowed in greeting:
"My lady, I know Kiba's not home but I have a gift to bestow on the family that I feel would be best in your hands" Straightening back up, Kiba's mom looked confused but nodded her head.
Roxanne snapped a finger and a clone appeared holding two metal urns, handing one to Roxanne.
"My lady, please accept this gift. It is only for you. What you do with it is all entirely up to you" and bowed before hold it out to the mother.
Kiba's mom took the urn: "Thank you" she said with a smile as Roxanne stood back up,
"This, my lady, however, is a treat for your offspring and their other halves. You will understand once the seal has been open and closed by you and only by you" Roxanne said as her clone handed over the other urn.
"Ok" was all the mother could say then thanked the girls.
"Ok, well, take care and be careful" Roxanne said before they both puffed away, leaving the mother standing in the doorway and looking down at the urns in confusion,
"Be careful?"
OOOOO
When Roxanne was speeding towards the training ground, she saw both Kiba and Akamaru on their way back home towards her. When the dog pair saw her coming, they yelped and tackled her to the ground in array of limbs, tail wagging and licking.
Roxanne laughed when a puppy tongue licked her cheek and a human tongue licked her neck, both in greetings. Akamaru's tail wagged faster then it has ever been while Kiba kept laughing into her neck as his arms hugged her tight to him.
"I've missed you too boys" Roxanne said as she wrapped her own limbs around Kiba, nuzzled and purred into his neck while Akamaru rubbed his head on hers. They laid there in the dirt of the forest, not caring who saw or thought they were in a compromising position, they were in their little bubble.
Then Kiba lifted his head and bared his fangs at Roxanne, who did the same to Kiba, both growling loudly enough to scare the little pup in confusion as he jumped away from the pair. Kiba then pulled Roxanne on top of him then she pulled then he pulled. They were basically rolling around in the dirt, growling and baring their fangs at each other, with a pup watching from the sides with funny look on his face.
Suddenly Roxanne flipped Kiba on his stomach, straddled his hips with her legs holding down his, held his arms behind his back with one hand while her other hand gripped his hair to pull his head back and clamped her teeth down on the bared exposed neck making Kiba gasped then fall into limp submission with a sighed.
Holding him in place for another moment and then let his neck go, licking the teeth indent to sooth the boy, who is literally liquid under her as he hummed in content. Sitting up, and lifted just a bit for Kiba to turn around on his back and he looked just as content.
Eyes closed, lazy smile and teeth marks on his neck with dishevel hair while his hands gently gripped her hips to his. Roxanne smiled,
"Well hello to you too" She said and Kiba chuckled underneath her then a bark. Roxanne open her arms for the pup to jump into and she kissed his head, hugging him while Kiba lightly rubbed circles on her hips.
They stayed like that for who knows how long. Kiba was in bliss the whole time. Roxanne and Akamaru whispered to each other about what they've been up to since she's been gone.
All the while, Kiba's hands never left Roxanne's hips as his thumbs rubbed circles on her skin.
OOOOO
Roxanne had to carry Kiba back home and quietly explain to his mother what happen. She stifled a smile and patted her head. Then Roxanne remember the gift she wanted to give to the pup and so snapped her finger and handed it over to the mother. Bowing then making her leave, Roxanne smiled when she heard from a distance the crinkle of bag then laughter.
OOOOO
Deep in the woods of the village, Roxanne walked and hummed. Her senses picked up on one other team member of Kiba's and smiled when a bug flew by her. She then disappeared and appeared behind Shino with a knife to his back that he tensed at first then sighed.
Turning around to face the girl, his brow lifted and she smiled at him, putting the weapon away.
"Shino. I have something for you and no, you can't decline" his other brow lifted.
Snapping her fingers, her clone appeared with a large glass jar with a metal lid filled with holes for air and held it up for the boy to see.
"This is a flesh eating beetle I've found. It can tunnel into flesh quickly and make a quick route to your brain where it will devour you from the inside out" Handing the glass over then the clone puffed away.
"I thought you'd like it and the challenge to tame it would be well worth the effort"
Shino stood staring at the insect in the jar as it tried to get to him in a furry of movements then looked to the girl smiling at him.
"Um" he had nothing to say but Roxanne understood and tapped her cheek for him.
Leaning over and placing a peck on her cheek, Shino's own cheeks blushed at the display of affection as he leaned back.
Roxanne smiled then nodded before puffing away, leaving the boy to watch the little beetle as he made his way home.
OOOOO
Now the Hyuga compound was something that Roxanne expected and then sniffed at because no one even bothered to ask her what's her business here. Having put her chakra as low as some of these regular non-ninjas might have been the reason why plus wrapped her tail up around her waist but still, no one even looked her way.
Searching out her senses, Roxanne went unnoticed to an area where she felt Hinata is and when she slipped into a dojo, she figured out why. The dojo was huge and all over the walls around had all the shinobis under the Hyuga clan lined up and sitting down. Far ahead up front sat Hinata with her head down by an older gentleman who Roxanne assumes is her father.
In the middle of the hall, two figures were squaring off with each other and one caught her eye as it was a little girl that looked like Hinata but with longer hair. The other was a fully grown man and Roxanne now understood what's happening.
They were showing off, or at least showing off the girl's strength and speed.
"Fucking peacocks" Roxanne mumbled.
That statement however caught the big man in the front when his eyes snapped to her. Hinata noticed her father looking at something and she too looked.
"Roxanne" she whispered, gasped and smiled all at once and Roxanne melted at her look.
"I'm sorry but this is a private affair" Roxanne snorted and felt those eyes glaring at her.
"I didn't hear you, Speak up!" the big man growl, halting everything as the assembly of men watched silently.
Roxanne smirked and took a step forward.
"You might as well have her bare ass on all fours, presenting herself then this display of ritual arrangement dance"
Gasps, whispers and growls. The girl who was fighting looked at her in question;
"Honey, how old are you?"
"Seven" Roxanne scoffs
"Figures. You're being auctioned off, Honey, to the highest bidder. When you come of age, then you'll be in an arranged marriage by one of these gawking men that'll pay for your hand now for when that time comes later"
"Silence!" the big man in front yelled as he stood,
"Hinata never had that because you took her place as Heir to the Hyuga clan" Roxanne looked to the young girl as realization dawned upon her and she whipped her head to their father.
"A clan like this usually waits for the age of Ten but since you proved to be advanced in mind, age and strength then your sister, they probably thought they could waive it" Roxanne took a couple more steps
"Still wished to be the Hyuga Heiress?" Roxanne asked and smirked at the girl who paled and shook on the spot.
"Roxanne" Hinata whispered and Roxanne could see that she was on the brink of tears with her hands clutching her robe on her knees.
"Darling" Roxanne whispered back and appeared in front of the girl, surprising her father who stood by and watched. A finger under her chin, Roxanne lifted up her face to see that face trying to hold everything in to not disappoint her father.
But before Roxanne could speak, a hand swiped at her that she dodge by flipping back. Hinata's eyes widen at her father's action and widen more when Roxanne beckon him on with two fingers. The men stood and pressed back against the wall as the little girl scurried over to her sisters side.
"Come on, Big Boy, Let's Dance"
Growling, the father got in a stance that Roxanne recognized and smirked. The Hyuga father activated his eyes and his chakra while Roxanne stood waiting for his first move and she didn't have to wait long for the first swipe at her chakra points.
For that swipe of the hand/chakra made on her person, Roxane would shift just slightly that it went unnoticed and miss the chakra points on her body. Hyuga father though thought he had already won with just one touch but Roxanne flipped on her feet and held out those two fingers with a smirk.
"Come on, Daddy, you barely touched me" Roxanne said sweetly that made the Hyuga father growl and attack full on. Hinata squeaked and covered her mouth as her sister watched stunned at this turn of events
Roxanne love it! Whenever she shifted, twisted, flipped and bounce from that chakra powered hands and eyes, she would smirk at the Hyuga father and say:
"Come on, Daddy" and those three words would fire him up more in a blinding rage after he was sure he made contact.
Enough so that an opening opened up that Roxanne took on the first chance to render the Hyuga father shocked.
"I like it like that, Daddy" Roxanne whispered in the fathers ear before he lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Silence.
Then clapping and squealing.
Hinata couldn't believe it and couldn't hold it in!
She ran to her friend and bounced on her feet.
"Roxanne, that was amazing! Just like the first time I saw you fight" and clapped happily. Then noticed the men all around the hall and cleared her throat while taking Roxanne's hand.
"Someone take my father to the medical room. Another take my sister to her next lessons" looking to the girl "I'll be with my friend" and started to lead said girl towards the entrance when a voice called out:
"But Princess!?"
"Silence" the man shut his trap at the authority in Hinata's voice as did everyone else in the hall as they never heard their princess speak as such. "I am with the strongest person here and I'm safe with her" Squeezing Roxanne's hand as she smiled back. "Let me know when my father wakes up" and went to leave when another voice called out along with footsteps.
"Sister!" Both girls turned to see Hinata's sister running to them "Can I come too, I don't want to be alone with anyone but you" She said in a small voice as she looked around the hall
Hinata smiled and held out her other hand where her sister latched onto quickly. As Hinata lead the two out towards then exit, Roxanne's tail finally announced its presence by unwrapping itself and waving in the air lazily, making the already stunned hall more shocked.
As the trio went out, a pair of eyes followed them with interest.
OOOOO
Hinata lead the three of them to the gardens with unrestrained glee if the smile on her face was anything to go by. But she knows her manners:
"Roxanne, this is my sister, Hanabi. Hanabi, this is my friend Roxanne"
"Nice to meet you Honeybee" Roxanne said as she gave a small wave to the little girl
"Hanabi" the girl corrected
"Honeybee" Roxanne said
"Hanabi" Hinata said and giggled
"That's what I said. Honeybee" and gave a fangy smile to the little girl
Said little girl puffed out her cheeks then stomped her foot.
"Fine! But only you can call me Honeybee" then humph away.
"I wouldn't have it any other wat, sweet cheeks" and reached over to pat Hanabi on her head.
Hanabi gave a mild glare then tugged her sisters hand so they can keep walking while hiding a small smile at the compliment and gesture.
"So tell me, my friend" Hinata started "How? From when you fought in the academy to now?"
"Honestly?" Both the sisters nodded "I forgot my weights" and lifted a leg to show nothing but her shoes on and Hinata giggled.
"I can't wait to tell father that the only reason you beat him was because you forgot your weights" Throwing her head back and laughed, Roxanne watched the laughter and freedom on her friends face.
Never in their days at the academy would Hinata dared to be this carefree and even after graduating, she still had a hard time speaking up.
Now all it took was seeing her big man of a father be taken down by someone her age to be free of that mold.
Then Roxanne stopped and in turn made the sisters stop, who then turned to her with confused looks. Roxanne smiled at them before wrapping her arms around Hinata's waist and hugged her tight as she nuzzled into her neck with a smile. Hinata was momentary stunned then wrapped her own arms around her and laughed into her neck.
Hanabi watched in fascination and a little left out at their display of affection then tugged at Hinata's robe. The girls let go and looked down but still had an arm around the other as they saw Hanabi nibble on her lip and looking away. They knew and pulled her into their little hug.
Somewhere behind a tree a pair of eyes watched again with interest.
After everyone felt nice and warm, Roxanne pulled away and snapped her fingers where a clone appeared behind her.
"The reason I came and disrupted your home world is this" Hinata snorted at the phrase as Hanabi looked to the clone holding a medium grey velvet box. Holding out the box to Hinata, the clone bowed and again Hinata snorted but took the box and bowed in thanks. Both Roxanne and her clone stepped back as Hinata opened the box and she almost dropped it when she saw the contents.
"What is it, sister?" then peaked in the box when Hinata showed her and she quietly gasped.
Amethyst encrusted hair pin, hair brush and mirror. Hinata looked up and started to shake her head but Roxanne stepped back to her and put a hand on her shoulders.
"You say thank you and" tapped her cheek. Hinata giggled.
"Thank you" she said then leaned up and kissed Roxanne cheek but at the last second Roxanne turn her head to get a kiss on the lips instead that Hinata squeaked at. Roxanne pulled away and smiled when Hinata's face burned red. Hanabi and the clone laughed.
"You're very welcome my sweets" Roxanne purred and Hinata's face turned even redder.
A pair of eyes widen at the display then hummed his interest at the scene
OOOOO
