Setsuna's POV

I yawned as I waited for Hinata outside her house . I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Naru-chi .

Yesterday ~

"Hina-chi , you won't get his attention by standing here all day you know ."

She blushed ,only giving me a soft reply in return "I-I know , but this i-is enough for me . Being able to see Naruto-kun makes me happy enough ."

Sighing , I continued to stand beside her as we watched Naru-chi trained in the forest by himself . She didn't get too close to him so we're standing quite far from his training ground . We're basically acting like a stalker buuut I wouldn't tell her that ,and I would make sure nobody do .

"Ah! He-He's hurt..." Hina-chi almost blew our cover , thankfully Naru-chi didn't saw us .

"Relax Hina-chi , it's just a scratch , he won't die from it ."

"Ointment... He needs to put healing ointment on it ." Seeing her worried face , made me want to smack Naru-chi . Suddenly a wonderful idea crossed my mind and I decided to tell her .

"Well why don't you give it to him ?"

"I mean the ointment ." I added when she seemed confused . Her cheeks flared up , her hands immediately rose up and covered her face .

"I-I can't ! What if he has one at home ? What if he thinks I'm annoying ? What if -"

"Shhh, those what-if's will eat your brain . Stop thinking about it , you're giving him the ointment tomorrow , it will ease your mind and it will ease his pain . It's killing two birds with one stone !"

"......okay ."

Present ~

"What business does an outsider have  here ?"

I turned my head , only to notice that the monotone voice belonged to the Hyuga boy I saw the other day .

"Oh , greetings . I don't think I have introduced myself . My name is Akimichi Setsuna ,and you are ?" I smiled , stretching out my hand for a handshake .

".....I will ask once again , what business do you have here!" I lowered my hand , seeing that he clearly didn't want to socialise .

I raised one of my eyebrows "And who are you to demand an answer from me ?" He gritted his teeth while glaring at me .

"Outsiders like you should just stay out of the compound . You don't belong here , it is not your destiny ."

"First ,it's my choice to enter or leave the compound . Hiashi-san as the head of the clan doesn't seem to have a problem with it . Who are you to complain? Second ,of course I don't belong here ! Didn't you hear me introducing myself ? I am an Akimichi not a Hyuga ."

"Setsuna-san , I'm sorry- Neji Nii-san ! Why are you here ? Do you need anything ?"

The boy merely switch his glare to Hinata before leaving . Tch, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning . Hinata looked so depressed when he ignored her , I just wanted to give him a good slap on his head .

"Are you done Hina-chi?" She finally snapped out of her gloomy cloud and nodded .

"Ah , hai . I'm sorry for taking so long ."

"It's fine , we still have time before the bell rings . Did you get the ointment ?"

With a hint of blush on her face , she nodded . "Then let's go !" I took her hands and left the compound .

It took Hina-chi the whole day before she gave Naru-chi the ointment . Not to mention , she would've given up ha d I not mentioned that Naru-chi was hurting .

Naru-chi looked elated when Hina-chi gave him the ointment and so did Hina-chi . I felt like the third person, so I quietly left them alone .

On my way back home , my mind  thought of a certain Hyuga . Neji.... I remembered him now , he was a prodigy but I didn't remember him being cruel to Hinata when I met him before . In fact , he was too protective of her , could me coming back have something to do with their current relationship ?

I was so into the thought that I hit the front door . "Ouch!" I rubbed my forehead , hoping to ease the pain away . "Tsuna ? What happened?"

"Iie papa , Tsuna just hit her head , hehehe ." He shook his head , chuckling as he bend down and picked me up .

"A guest ?"

"That's right , he's your grandfather's friend , the last time he saw you , you're still just a baby ."

"Ojii-chan no tomodachi ? (Grandfather's friend?) Woah! He must be very old then ." Papa snickered before entering the living room where I spotted an old man sitting on the couch .

"Oooohhhh , you're so big now eh , Setsuna ?"

"Un ! Who are you mister ?" I asked as papa put me down on the couch .

"Ah , I'm Sagamiya Kakeru . I am a glass artisan ." He gave me a smile which I gladly returned .

"Tsuna's name is Akimichi Setsuna , nice to meet you .Ne ne Sagamiya-sama ,why didn't Tsuna see you before ?"

"You're just a baby the last time I saw you moreover due to some health problems ,I moved back to my village to live with my daughter . That's why you never see me around ."

"Then , why did you come back ? Aren't you supposed to be sick?" Titling my head to the side , I waited for his answer .

"Well....after living there I started to miss working with the glass , I am a glass artisan after all . Doing nothing but sit around all day makes me uncomfortable .That's why I decided to return ."

"How do you make arts from glass?"

He proceeded to explain the method happily . Only a blind person couldn't see how passionate he was about his art .

"Can Tsuna see you work ? It sounds really interesting !"

"Eh ? But it will be hot , and it won't be interesting for you setsuna ." He pat my head , saying that it wasn't a place where I should be .

"Just once ? Pweeasseee"

"W-well , you should ask your father then ."

"Papa?"

"I don't see why not ."

"Hurray ! Tsuna's going to the workshop ! Tsuna's going to the workshop !" I chanted happily .

One week later ~

"Alright here it is !" I squealed happily at the sight of the workshop .

"Now what do you want to make ? A glass ? Plate ? Bowl?"

"A plate please , and Tsuna has decided the color and the pattern ." I handed him the pattern .

"Hmm, well this is quite hard to make . Are you sure you want to make it using this pattern?"

"Un , it's mama's favorite after all . And it's going to be Christmas soon , so Tsuna wants to give it to mama as a present ."

"Heee , okay let's get started then !"

=============

"Sagamiya-sama, when can Tsuna see the result?"

"Perhaps tomorrow morning , you know ....You're quite good for your first time , Setsuna . You seem to know what you're doing ."

"Ah, hahaha , you're exaggerating Sagamiya-sama . I'm not that good ." It was then did I notice the dark sky. " I should get going otherwise mama and papa will get worried ."

"Be careful on your way home Setsuna !"

I waved my hand and left the shop , running towards my destination . I didn't notice a green spandex running the same way ,which caused us to bump into each other .

"Ah , I'm sorry mister , are you okay ?"

"Lee! Don't go running off on your own !"

The boy with a rather bushy eyebrows apologised to me and helped me up . "I'm really sorry , he is just too excited ." The girl with two buns on her head said , shaking her head at the bushy eyebrows boy , who replied with a rather blinding smile .

"I can't help it Tenten , we finally got a  C-rank mission ! After all our hardwork Hokage-sama finally thinks we're ready ! This means I'm one step closer to my dream !"

Then I heard the voice of a certain someone "Hmph , shut up Lee , you're only embarrassing yourself ."

"I see you're still sour as ever ." His eyes flew to me , almost immediately they morphed into a glare .

"Trust me Hyuga , the feeling's mutual , no need to show it with your oh so powerful glare ." I commented , feeling my own face copying his glare .

"It is indeed unfortunate to meet you again Akimichi ." He replied through gritted teeth .

"Fortunately , the sky is getting dark so please excuse me . I need to go home ." I stuck my tounge out before leaving the scene quickly . But not quick enough to not hear his teammates asking about me .

Upon arriving at my home , nobody greeted me , making me panic . Thinking that they might have been captured , I went into the living room , then the kitchen where I saw a note . Letting out a sigh , I read the note .

Setsuna,

Pack some clothes , you're going to stay at the Nara's for a couple days .When your father and I are back from our mission , we'll come and get you . Shikaku will come and get you .

Don't forget to lock the door .

Love,
Mom

Well , I can kinda guess why she don't want me to stay home with only my brother , who still has no ability to protect both of us . With the girls kidnapping still happening , and no signs of the kidnapper , it made sense .

Buuuut , Shikaku's quite smart , I'll have to be careful or he may find me suspicious . Ugh , so troublesome .
