10.) Unlikely Match
I'm pathetic. No, really I have to be pathetic for this to be happening. I didn't think that one day with my sister would be this painful but it is. More importantly, being away from Sakura for over 12 hours is what's painful. And maybe the fact that Hana brought home a guy too, I'm not entirely enjoying that either.
So maybe Nagato isn't that bad. He's actually really funny and a lot like me. Maybe that's the uncomfortable part, my sister is dating an older version of her brother. Eww.
Actually no, he doesn't bother me at all. I'm only irritated because I haven't seen my girlfriend today and since I have been back from camp we haven't spent more than half a dozen hours apart if we are lucky. I'm going through withdrawals and it blows.
"So mom said that you and Sakura are finally together. Took you long enough." Hana teases me from across the kitchen table.
I roll my eyes and rest my chin on my palm as I lean against the tabletop. "Funny, mom never talks about what you are up to." I retort with a glance over to Nagato who is at the kitchen counter with my mother prepping dinner.
This time Hana rolls her eyes. "Like you have ever been interested in who I am with."
I raise my eyebrow at her. "You don't normally bring guys home. I guess you could say I'm intrigued." I say.
Hana leans back and studies me for a good minute. I can tell she is debating whether or not to tell me something, I just can't figure out exactly what.
"How's the food coming?" Hana asks turning in her chair to face Nagato and our mom.
Nagato flashes her a grin. "Just finished prep. All that's left is to cook it all up once we are ready." He says wiping his hands on a towel before taking a seat next to Hana.
My mom brings over a kettle of hot water and begins to make tea for us all. I can't help but feel like a gigantic cat is about to be let out of a bag. Hana keeps glancing up at Nagato, talking in that secret couple language. It normally makes me gag but I understand how it is now. Sakura and I do the same exact thing.
Once my mom sits at the table Hana smiles. "This visit was pretty unexpected but I wanted to share this kind of news with my family in person."
My mother gasps. "You're pregnant aren't you?" She asks in shock, clearly sure that has to be what is going on.
Hana laughs. "Oh no! I would have sent that news in a text." She laughs. "No actually..." She begins digging through her purse on the table until she pulls out a slim silver band with a decent size diamond attached.
My mother gasps again, only this time in excitement. "Oh, congratulations honey!"
My reaction isn't as graceful, hell it's not even polite. I choke on the sip of tea I was taking when she pulled out the ring and am now convinced that I am dying as I hack away trying to clear my lungs.
"Kiba, manners!" My mother scolds as she examines Hana's engagement ring that she has now placed on her left hand.
"This is worse than a baby!" I sputter before getting up and going to the sink for water.
Hana laughs loudly. "You would think that wouldn't you." She says turning in her seat slightly.
I fill a glass full of water before leaning against the counter, contemplating what I should really say. I know who Nagato is, he's Naruto's cousin. The last thing I want is to be related to that kind of crazy. But since my sister has been home I see a different side of her that is actually pretty befitting to her. I should be supportive, even if I'm not 100% happy with this.
"If it was a baby I wouldn't have to get dressed up!" I complain loudly. "Suits are so uncomfortable and the ties make me feel like I can't breathe."
Nagato laughs as Hana rolls her eyes. "Well, at least he approves," Nagato says with a smile, rubbing my sister's shoulder gently.
Hana looks at me before shaking her head. "That's the thing, I can tell he doesn't." She says with a frown. "Is it because he's related to that Namikaze kid?"
"Who? Naruto?" Both Nagato and I ask at the same time causing both of us to chuckle.
"Listen, Naruto is a special kid. I'm only really half related to him since only my mother is related by blood. Most of that special is an intense mixture of genes between Minato and Kushina." Nagato offers with a smile.
I shrug not sure what to say. "So then there is nothing to worry about." I grin, even though right now the only thing I can think is how much holidays are going to suck now if I have to spend them all with Naruto. There goes any chance of a normal quiet holiday vacation, oh joy.
