Naruto sighed as he looked at the necklace he dangled on the tips of his fingers. Every grim reaper had a piece of clothing or something that they could wear to allow humans to see them other than those who they were supposed to kill. When Naruto had signed up to be a grim reaper, he had chosen the necklace that his father and mother had given to him before they left. But he hadn't put it on ever since unless it came to driving and buying the things he needed for his human home. It had just been sitting inside of his pocket just in case he needed it. He never thought it would need it though.
Wrapping it around his neck, he slipped on the oversized white sweater he had and made sure his hands were covered as well before changing into black jeans, white shoes and a white hat. Grabbing the fake glasses on his bedside table, he walked out of his bedroom and towards his front door. He needed to do some things before he met up with Hinata so it was a good time to do that since he had no idea how long he would be spending with her. Picking up his wallet, cellphone, and keys, Naruto walked out of the door.
Walking to the side of his home where the parking lot was, he unlocked the doors and stepped into the driver's seat before turning on the engine and putting his seatbelt on. Looking into the rearview mirror, he made sure no cars were behind him before putting it into reverse and backing his car out of the driveway. Putting it on drive, he drove off to Tenten's house.

Hinata sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror and continued to turn around as she looked at what she wore. For some reason, she felt stupid standing in front of her mirror for the 20th time with a different outfit on just to impress someone that she had met less than twenty-four agos. Groaning, she finally settled with a tight white crop top with a black skirt with suspenders on top. She wore her white sneakers and had put her hair into a side braid.
Grabbing her tote bag on her bed, she made sure her phone, car keys, wallet, laptop, and notebooks were all there before walking out the door of her bedroom. Walking down the hallway, she knocked on the door of her father's office, "Father, I'm coming in." she told him before turning the brass knob of the door and stepping inside, "How do I look?"
Hiashi looked up from his paperwork and looked at his daughter, "Like how a teenager's suppose to look on her first date. Are you going to visit your sister before you go?" he asked her as he looked back down at his paperwork.
Hinata knew that her dad was always busy with their company. He woke up before the sun rose and went to bed past midnight, she wondered when he got his sleep in. But for him to even make the effort of looking up at her made her smile just a little bit, "I will. It would be wrong for me to not go when I've been going every day. Well then, I'll be going now father. I hope you have a good day." she told him before bowing.
Hiashi nodded, "Don't forget to call me if something happens Hinata. I'll get there as soon as I can." he told her without looking up. After a couple of seconds, he heard the door close softly behind his daughter. Despite the fact that Hinata didn't reply back to her, Hiashi understood why. Ever since Hinata and Hanabi had been children, maids and butlers had always told them that when Hiashi said his final words while looking down at papers, they should leave without another word.
Though he did feel kind of bummed about the fact that his two daughters didn't talk to him, he didn't want to bother them either and make them confused on who they should listen to. But somehow, knowing that it would soon all end and only silence would fill his office sooner or later made him more lonely than he did when they were kids. At least then he could hear the laughter of his wife, Hinata running back and forth by his door, and Hanabi chasing after her sister just like how Hinata had chased their mother when she was still alive. It was like needles piercing his heart when he thought back to the happy memories of just sitting behind his desk and laughing at what he could hear behind the door. He thought by staying away from his family, he could protect them but in the end, he would end up alone once more.
