Chapter Five
She didn’t like this apartment very much.
Mahina wandered around the empty apartment knowing that Naruto would wait in the living room for her. She also knew the blonde knew exactly how she felt about the apartment to begin with, but she’d look around anyway.
The little girl stood in the doorway to the first of her potential bedrooms and looked around the room quietly. No, she didn’t like the room. It was too big, too many places for people to hide if they wanted to hurt her. No, it wouldn’t work. She didn’t like this apartment due to the fact it was too big and would be far too empty, even with Naruto’s stuff.
She wandered back to the living room and shook her head at Naruto, silently telling him that the apartment was rejected. “Too big?” Naruto questioned.
She nodded a little before wrapping her small fingers around Naruto’s larger hand. “Sorry, Mahina, I guess I forgot you don’t like large spaces. The next apartment’s a bit smaller, I promise. Has a homey feel to it too.” Naruto said with a small grin.
Neither one spoke a word as they left the apartment building, blending in with the crowd of shoppers. “Hey, Naruto! Over here!” a voice called.
Mahina stiffened in fear when a boy with wild brown hair and tattoos on his face ran towards them with a grin on his face. The girl’s fear slowly ebbed when she saw a woman with white eyes coming towards them. “Hey, Kiba! Hi, Hinata.” Naruto greeted with a grin.
“Hey, who’s the squirt?” Kiba questioned.
“This is Mahina. Mahina, this is my friend Kiba and my other friend, Hinata.”
Mahina looked up at the two, suddenly feeling very shy. She hid behind Naruto and peeked out from under one of his arms, hiding again when the woman smiled at her. “She’s cute.” Hinata said with a smile before kneeling down in front of Naruto. “Hi, Mahina. How are you doing today?”
“She doesn’t exactly talk, Hinata, so don’t expect words.” Naruto said quickly.
The little girl peeked out from under Naruto’s arm again, staring in amazement at the woman’s white eyes. She had never seen anybody with white eyes before and wondered if they were real. Slowly, she mouthed Hinata’s name before her eyes lit up in realization. She and Hinata had the same part of their names! Mahina and Hinata! Hina!
Naruto and Kiba chuckled when the little girl began pulling on Naruto’s jacket, her eyes bright with excitement. Naruto would understand what she had just figured out, he always knew what she was thinking! “Is she okay, Naruto-kun?” Hinata asked cautiously as she stood back up.
“She’s fine. She just figured out that your names are a little bit alike.” Naruto said with a laugh before scooping the little girl up into his arms. “Right, Mahina?”
Mahina nodded excitedly and grinned at Hinata before reaching her arms out towards the woman. Naruto looked surprised for a moment before allowing the little girl to be handed over to the white eyed woman. “I swear that’s the fastest she’s ever warmed up to anybody other than me.” Naruto stated with a grin.
“Oh, hey! Naruto, a bunch of us are getting together for lunch. Would you and Mahina like to join us? It’d give her a chance to meet the rest of Rookie Nine as well as the others.” Kiba said quickly.
“I dunno. Mahina doesn’t like being around large groups of people at once.” Naruto said thoughtfully, looking surprised when Mahina looked at him with pleading eyes. “What’cha think, Mahina? You wanna take a break for lunch?”
Mahina nodded before reaching towards Naruto, silent giggles escaping her lips when she fell forward into the blonde’s arms. He was trying hard to make her feel comfortable, she could try hard to give his friends a chance. “You know, Sakura said that you had sorta taken in a kid but she was really shy. Is that the same one?” Kiba questioned as they started walking.
“Oh yeah. We’re hunting around for an apartment that’s not too big since Mahina hates large rooms and one that’s not too small since I don’t like cramped places.”
“How many do you have left to look at?” Hinata questioned.
“Two. I personally liked the apartments, but the one we just got finished looking at was far too big for Mahina’s comfort.” Naruto answered, shifting the little girl so she was riding on his back. “If neither one works, then we’ll do more hunting.”
“If you need some help, we’d be happy to help.”
“Hey, Hinata, I wanted to ask you if you’d be willing to go shopping with me and Sakura once everything’s finalized and we’ve got an apartment.” Naruto said with a grin. “Kakashi thought that he’d take Mahina for the day to get her used to him since he likes hanging around us.”
Mahina shook her head stubbornly, her eyes showing her determination to stay with Naruto. “Hehe, looks like someone could have a crush on you.” Kiba snickered.
“Be nice!” Naruto said, slapping the brown haired boy on the head. “God only knows what the hell Kabuto did to Mahina and Kakashi wants to show her that not all guys with that same hair color are terrible.”
“Kakashi’s a hentai!”
“So was Ero-sennin.”
Mahina smiled faintly at Naruto’s attempt to defend himself. She knew he was planning a surprise for her and apparently Sakura and Hinata had a part in the surprise, whatever it was. “Just remember, Mahina, no one’s going to hurt you. If you get scared, just let me know and we can go back to hunting down apartments.” Naruto said gently.
“Chances are, Naruto, she won’t get scared. After all, Chouji managed to book a private part for lunch.”
She’d get nervous, Naruto knew, but she’d at least try. Patting the girl’s back reassuringly, they went into the restaurant.
Mahina stared in wonder at Naruto’s friends, seeing how they each were so different. Her attention went to a man that had a scar going across his nose, seeing the kind look in his eyes. “Lunch break?” Naruto questioned when he saw the man.
“Nope. Day off. Figured I’d meet that little girl I’ve heard so much about from Kakashi.”
A gasp escaped the little girl’s lips as she hid behind Naruto when Iruka knelt down so he could look at her. “Mahina, he’s okay. He’s the best teacher I’ve ever had at the Academy.” Naruto said with a grin. “Seriously, he’s my favorite.”
A light blush dusted Iruka’s cheeks as he looked at the blonde, seeing the pride in his blue eyes. He glanced at Mahina and saw the thoughtful look in her eyes, noticing how they were a gentle shade of blue while Naruto’s was bright blue. Iruka jumped slightly when the little girl reached out and brushed her fingers against his nose, her eyes narrowing slightly in thought.
Naruto made a move to stop the little girl from touching the scar across Iruka’s face but stopped when Iruka told him that it was okay. Obviously the teacher knew that the girl was simply memorizing the feel of scars. “If you’re impressed by that, you should see some of the scars other shinobi have.” Iruka said with a small grin.
Mahina allowed her hand to drop to her side before shaking her head. The look in her eyes told him that she already had seen the scars from other shinobi, she just never had been allowed to touch when she wanted to. “Hey, Mahina, look over there. I think Sakura has a surprise for you.” Naruto said, noticing the pink haired kunoichi.
The little girl’s lit up slightly as she wandered over to Sakura, effortlessly avoiding being touched by others. “Quite a handful, isn’t she?” Iruka questioned.
“Not really, but she’s been in the hospital for the past couple of days.”
“I heard. How does she sleep at night?”
Naruto shrugged a little before answering, “Wakes up every time she hears someone come within ten feet of her. I left my jacket with her last night and apparently she slept the whole night though but chances are she’s going to want to take a nap once we’re done apartment hunting and clothes shopping.”
“You’re going clothes shopping?” Iruka questioned, unable to keep from grinning.
“Of course. I wanna get a good idea of what kind of clothes she likes before we move.”
“I heard you were setting up a surprise.”
“Yeah.”
“Hopefully she won’t mind it.”
“Hopefully.”
