NaruHina: Past (Discontinued)

Gifts

Only writing this cause I'm in a good mood thanks to listening to Naruto op 2 from part one. And my friend who's dying for me to write it (づ｡ ｡)づ

****************************************************************************

Closing the door to my bedroom, I eagerly made my way down the hall wanting to devour my breakfast. Walking down the stairs, I was greeted by our dog Marley, which we got not so long ago.

With every movement my feet came in contact with the freezing cold floor. To be clear, I regretted not wearing socks. Or at least slippers or something that would make the coldness go away.

Walking down the long hallway, taking a couple turns here and there. I admired the paintings that were hanging up. However, there was always the same exact one that caught my eye. It was about a medium sized picture frame covered with a long white cloth.

I'd always asked aunt and uncle about it, but they would find some way to change the topic. Or get away with not answering it. One of the usual responses were 'Sorry sweetly, busy right now' or even 'maybe ask later' and things like that.

All those thoughts quickly vanished when I neared the kitchen. However, the smell was different from the usual. We'd occasionally would have the traditional Japanese breakfast. But this smelled surprising like... Eggs?

Stepping into the kitchen, was my aunt who was over at the stove and my uncle reading the newspaper and sipping his coffee.

Walking over to the polished table, I took a set next to him. "Good morning," I said resting my chin on my palm.

"Good morning Hinata/Hinata-chan," they both greated me.

As aunt was setting the mouth watering food on the plates, my uncle turned to me. "Tired kid?" He asked going to get another cup of coffee.

"Y-yeah, practically had to force m.. myself to get outa bed," I said with a slight laugh.

"Well to wake you up, I made some omelettes." Aunt then placed the plates down at our seats."Arigato auntie."

"Hinata-chan, we have some news. Since your parents have to go on a long business trip they want you to move in with us, same with Neji." Aunt said looking a little worried.

I stopped eating for a moment, "that's great, when will I be getting my stuff here?" Then I continued with my food.

"That's good dear, and in a couple months."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast, I helped clean up and wash the dishes. But not that long later there was loud knocks on the door.

"I'll get it!" I yelled scurrying over to the door. Who could be here at this time?

Heading to the door I was accompanied by Marley. Unlocking and opening the door, I was met with some familiar faces...

"Ohayo, Hinata."

" Ohayo, Ino, Sakura..." I greeted them then allowed them to come inside instead of standing out in the chilly weather.

"Omg, this is the cutest thing ever!" Ino squeals as she bent down and pet the dog. "What's it's name?"

"Her name's Marley, she's only a year old." I stated.

"Hinata-chan! Who's at the door?" My aunt yelled from the kitchen.

"Just some friends, don't worry!" I yelled back answering her.

"Ahh, so no stuttering?" Sakura asked winking at me.

"O..oh, I've been practicing a lot." Answering her question.

"That explains it."

"Soo.. Why you h-here?" I mean they gotta be here for a reason.

"Ah, that's right!" Ino said standing up, "tomorrow is Naruto's birthday. So we wanted everyone to get him a present."

"Basically we want you to come with me and Ino to go get him a gift." Sakura said clearing everything up.

"Follow me," I said turning to walk back to the kitchen.

~~

"Aunt, uncle this is Ino and Sakura, my... My friends!" I said the ending part quickly.

My aunt smiled at that, "hello Ino, Sakura, the name's Eleanor Uzumay and this old guy over here is Daiki Uzumay." She pointed to him.

"Nice to met you Mrs. Uzumay, Mr. Uzumay." The girls greeted with a bow.

She took their hands, "No need for that, just call me Eleanor and him Daiki." She said doing a closed eyed smile.

"Of course Mrs. Uzu- I mean Eleanor.." Ino said.

"Auntie, I'll be heading out with them is that okay?" I asked hoping she'll allow it.

"Of course dear, just get dressed and then be on your way."

"That's right!" I said realizing I had to get dressed and started scurrying over to the stairs. While hearing some laughs in the background.

~~

Putting on a simple tee-shirt, jeans and a jacket, I ran down the stairs and went up to my friends at the door.

"Looks like we got a sonic here," Sakura said as I rolled my eyes and put my shoes on.

"I'll be leaving!" I yelled to my aunt so she'll know we'll be taking our leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We drove to a party store that's for all occasions. There we got some party decorations like streamers, birthday hats, balloons, noise makers and some other things. Including candy, cause who has a birthday party without candy?

We were planning to have Naruto be out of the house at the time and decorate his house. Since he lives with his godfather Jiraiya, we asked him if we can and he agreed to get Naruto out of the house that day. Then they would come back a couple hours later. We'd surprise him and have fun.

The girls and I headed to the next store to get the gifts. Strolling through the aisles, I noticed chopsticks that were custom made. Knowing he likes ramen, I looked through them. When one caught my eye. It had little pieces of naruto on it. I decided to get that one since he eats his ramen with some pieces of naruro in it.

Meeting back up with the rest of the girls, we paid for our stuff and headed out.
