[Rewritten] Out she came in...Naruto

Chapter 23: In tou~san's embrace

Hellaw Everyone!

Its been such a busy week. My niece came to spend sometime with the family and since everyone is either working or studying for GRE, guess who's playing babysitter for who knows how long?

*Vigorously waves hand in the background*

Yep. So I'm sorry but you guys are no longer top priority on my list. My niece is first, followed by our expensive books and missing crayons, then there's the tv remote that must always stay hidden.

My phone's gonna become a victim...obviously(silently curses cousin for teaching a four year old how to operate youtube) and don't even get me started on my laptop.

------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with the worst hangover a person could ever have in Naruto. Don't get me wrong, there was no drinking at my welcome party. In fact, there was no welcome party at all.

As soon as I managed to escape the idiot trio, my short-lived relief had been doused by the elders of the clan. There, I sat in meeting after meeting, listening to boring reviews and clan disputes.

Have you ever been to a court hearing you have no interest or connection to? Its just like that.

BOOOOORRRING!

The worst is when the oldies start measuring their dicks. One comeback is enough to give you a migraine. Especially when they think they're funny.

It was after the third meeting when I felt like pulling my hair of my head that I felt pity for Hiashi. It was no wonder why he scowled so much.

Hinata's and my room was still the same, save for the change in beds to accommodate our new size. Hanabi's room was right next to ours.

I wore a bright purple top and black shorts, then paired it up with comfy ninja sandals and tied my hair into a pony tail.

The door opened, revealing Hinata in her usual outrageous jumpsuit. Her eyes widened a bit when she saw me.

"Where are you going Rin-san?" There was no stuttering, but her voice still had that soft innocent tone.

"The Nara compound. Tell tou~san I won't  be long when you see him, though there is a possibility I'll be training late."

I poked her nosed with my index finger and rushed out, but not before blowing kisses.

"Rin." My father called as I stepped into the hallway.

I turned to meet his stern gaze and he nodded at me. "Follow me."

We walked outside the house, going around and deeper into the trainig grounds. "How was your training?"

"Alright." I shrugged slightly.

"The elders think you're a prodigy. You'll make a great kunoichi someday." He spoke as we walked pass the many trees.

I remained impassive, the headache from the previous night dulling into a silent throb.

We broke out of the forest and into a clearing. My body stiffened as my eyes made contact with the flowers in the meadow. In the middle of it, a single grave.

"Your mother loved this place. I remember, it was at that spot that we first met, right there." He pointed at the grave.

"She hated my formalities, and I had never laid eyes on such a reckless hyuga before. But our parents were comrades and her grandmother was an elder. The alliance was inevitable."

Hiashi stroked his chin, sentimental eyes staring distantly at the carved stone. As if he could see an invisible phantom of her laying on the flowers with  smile on her face.
