Hinata and Narumi arrived at the coffee shop without a fuss and sat outside after ordering and paying for their bubble-tea, cinnamon buns and sweet pastries. They chatted about their lives with earnest and laughed every now and then as Narumi began to relax and enjoy being in her body. They had chatted for almost two hours when Hinata updated Narumi on the dating statuses of everybody.
Kurenai and Asuma were finally out about their relationship and engaged.
Shikamaru had something going on with Temari.
Ino already had her claws dug into Sai much to Sai's oblivious emotions.
Gai was dating Yūgao.
It wouldn't be long before Neji and Tenten got together.
Lee was courting Ayame. Youthfully.
Shino and Kiba were an item.
Narumi had choked on the last information and started laughing. "I knew it! I knew Kiba didn't swing for our team. Hehe, but those two are cute together really. They rile each other up and complement each other well" She wasn't the one to discriminate gays and would support Kiba and Shino's relationship. "What about you, Hinata-chan? Is there anybody you've got your eyes on?"
Hinata shook her head lightly as she released a light sigh. "No matter who I look for, there's no connection."
"Why not Iruka-sensei then?" Narumi pointed out. "He's kind, great with kids and knows when to take lead. He has a big-heart and is completely loyal to his partner. Iruka-sensei will also be approved by your clan as an ideal husband. You should try talking with him and I assure you, Hinata-chan, you won't regret it and find yourself a nice man."
Hinata took Narumi's words into consideration with a nod.
Narumi always knew what she was talking about and wouldn't ship her off to a bad person who wouldn't fulfil her or her clan's needs. Iruka was a nice man and had a splendid track record. He was even good with kids and had that dreamy smile that Hinata used to adore on male-Naruto. Hinata never knew she was blushing while thinking about Iruka.
Narumi only smirked. Iruka was at the age to get married anyway. "Let's go, Hinata-chan." Narumi pulled Hinata back from her thoughts and both left the coffee shop. Both heading over to the Inuzuka store to by treats for Kakashi's Ninken. Quickly entering the store and brought what Narumi needed before heading back to Jiraiya's home. Both were chatting happily and didn't notice a two pairs of envious and hated eyes being directed at Narumi till her spine shivered.
"Narumi-chan, are you okay?" Hinata asked when Narumi stopped walking and had a slightly pale. Holding onto the dog-treats tightly in her arms. Hinata went to lightly touch Narumi's shoulder and caught the girl's startled gaze. "Are you okay, Narumi-chan?"
Narumi looked to Hinata and said clearly in a quiet voice. "I need you to listen to me and not argue right now. Hide in the shadows and don't come out till I give the okay. Now." Narumi hissed when Hinata opened her mouth to argue.
Hinata shut her mouth and didn't want to hear her idol plead with her and did as she was asked. Hinata slipped into the shadows and watched Narumi carefully.
Narumi looked around the pathway and noticed that the people were just out of hearing range. Narumi frowned and looked to a tree. "You two can come out now. I know you've been following me for a while now." Narumi's eyes widen as she held onto the pack of dog treats till her knuckles went white and her face lost its tan. "W-what do y-you want with me?" she whispered as she took a step back as the two followers appeared before her. One was Sakura, but her eyes were not what Narumi remembered.
