Hinata Pov:

Point clings to me as we walk.

I quietly hum a song to him and stroke his dark hair. Poor Point. He's been through so much.

Point starts humming the tune in time to the lyrics and I blink startled.

"Where'd you learn that?" I ask him.

"My Mumma would sing it to me." He mutters drowsily. "Don't stop." He begs.

"Of course." I start singing again.

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out
But you never go away
So I guess I gotta stay now

Ooh I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide
But I can't find one here
Want to feel a life outside
I can't find my fear

Isn't it lovely
All alone
Heart made of glass
My mind of stone
Tear me to pieces
Skin and bones
Hello welcome home

I finish off before the second verse as we walk into the dining room.

"Aww. Keep going!" Point pleads.

"Time for dinner now. Okay?"

"Mm otay." He grumbles.

"That's the spirit y'know." Naruto shouts. Both Point and I wince.

Hmm.

"Sorry Honey." He apologises.

"It's okay. Just lower your voice sometimes 'kay?" I say. Especially if there are now three elves living in the castle.

I take a peek at Sasuke. He's not paying any outward attention to us but that doesn't mean he isn't paying attention.

"So Pointy Objects-"

"King Pointy Objects." Point corrects Meiko.

"Right sorry for the mix up." Meiko rolls her eyes. "What's your favourite food?"

"Umm, I don't know. Not rotten things y'know?" He shrugs.

My lips pucker.

"Have you eaten rotten food before?" I'm very angry at this fact.

"Yuh huh. That's what Lord stupid face would give me y'know."

"Lord stupid face?" Meiko hums in thought, "Was he the one that killed those refugees with black magic?"

He narrows his eyes suspiciously.

"Did you go through my memories?" He asks glaring.

"Yep. I'm sorry, that was rude of me too pry in your personal memories but we needed information to know you weren't a threat to the kingdom. Not that you could ever be." Meiko answers.

He looks offended. "I could be a threat to the castle. I think I would do great y'know." He huffs. I giggle at his attitude.

"Yes, you would be." I kiss his cheek.

"The other one too?" He looks up at me.

"Of course." I kiss his other cheek. Meiko and Temari are laughing behind us.

"The subject remains the same. I would be a great threat!" He sticks his thumb in his mouth.

"Of course you would be." Sasuke encourages. A grin emerges under Point's thumb.
