Throughout the rest of the day, Shiemi indeed kept on sitting beside either Naruto or Sakura, completely ignoring the poor Sasuke.
The last bell rang, letting the students free for the day.
The Mikazuki stretched out and let out a content sigh. "That was such a long day! I'm glad we're friday. But I'm curious why the others all left so suddenly after our last class."
Not even Sasuke waited for me..Well I did ignore him...but still..
Naruto shrugged and put his hands on the back of his head. "Maybe you're so tired that everything seems to be going too fast for ya. Ne Shiemi, would you mind me coming over? I would like to show the new ninja game I bought!"
"Sure. My parents are probably still working so no one's waiting for me at home." she smiled.
The two friends quickly arrived in front of the Mikazuki house. Shiemi put the key in the keyhole and opened the door. The whole house was dark and Shiemi frowned before turning to face Naruto who was still at the door. "Sorry my parents probably left everything in the dark again-"
"SURPRISE!"
A flick of light, and all of Shiemi's friend along with her parents and Naruto's were standing in her living room, confetti in hand.
A mix of confusion and happiness was visible on her face.
In front of everyone was the one she ignored all day, a box in hand.
"Sasuke..? What- What's this? How are you guys-"
"Shhh. Just enjoy your birthday party Shiemi-chan!" Naruto said from behind her. By now, the blonde had a party hat on his head and the biggest grin ever.
Sasuke approached the brunette and held her hand gently. "Happy birthday, love."
The ravenette bent down to kiss her lips, which earned them a bunch of whistles.
"Not so close to my daughter, young man."
Quickly, the Uchiha straightened himself and apologized to Shiemi's father.
The brunette chuckled and stared at her boyfriend with a soft smile. "Did you..prepare this for me?"
He nodded with an endearing smile. "Yeah. I asked the permission from your parents and everyone here played along."
"So you truly did not forget my birthday."
"How could I? After all, I'm Uchiha Sasuke." he smirked.
Shiemi rolled her eyes and pecked him in the corner of his lips.
"Shut up."
"Now let's have an amazing party!"
"I'm going to get something to drink."
Shiemi parted ways with her friends to walk over the buffet. But on the way there, a familiar group was blocking her way, all of them handing a package.
Shiemi gasped and smiled softly. "My favorites college students!"
Yahiko scoffed and engulfed her in a hug. "We're the only college students you know."
The brunette giggled and patted his back. "That's true. But you're still my favorites!"
Itachi hummed and patted her head with the most wholesome smile. "Happy birthday Shiemi."
"Thanks Itachi!"
One by one, the rest of the Akatsuki hugged her and wished her a happy birthday.
"So tell me, how's college-"
Just when she released Konan from a never-ending hug, Kushina called her over.
"Gotta go. But we will catch up later, promise?"
Hidan grinned. "Of course!"
"Thanks for coming guys. I really really appreciate it."
"Enjoy your party pretty." Deidara replied.
The brunette sent them a thumbs up and a wink before walking toward the adults.
"Happy birthday my love! You're becoming a fine woman!" Kushina shouted as she hugged the breath out of her.
Minato shook his head with a small smile before separating the two women. "Happy eighteenth birthday Shiemi!"
"Thanks Kushina, Minato. I appreciate it." she bowed with the same smile plastered on her face.
"No need to be so formal with us! You're like my daughter!"
Shiemi chuckled and nodded. "That's really sweet of you."
Once again, Shiemi got called out, this time by Naruto who truly wanted to try out his new game.
