2nd Tenketsu

[twinlionfists]

[Action]

[Hinata is in the kitchen on the floor of the apartment building she shares with the other shinobi, writing up a list of things she wants to do and people she wishes to see. If anyone looks over her shoulder, it would look something like this:

1. Visit Naruto-kun and his parents - bring red bean mochi?
2. Shikamaru-kun, Chouji-kun, and Kida-kun - bring chips of some kind or cookies
3. Ino-san and Tenten-san - Tea and cookies, remember to mention shopping trip to Tenten-san
4. Neji-niisan and Lee-san - Dinner
5. Asuma-sensei - Bring him an actual meal
6. Kiba-kun and Akamaru - find jerky for both and see about serving steaks for dinner with him
7. Stop by the clinic and check in on patients
8. Attempt to find something for a thank you dinner for Sakura-san
9. Clean apartment from head-to-toe tomorrow

She nods to herself as she rolls up her sleeves and stands up. None of the things she wishes to make is going to be easy and it will be a few days before some of them will be ready. But first, she needs to get ingredients, so she is going to take a trip to the grocery store and then come back to cook.

Later, she can be found at the grocery store, gathering the items she wanted for her huge projects.

Or, you can find her coming and going from the small village clinic that she works at a few hours in the morning.

Or, hello, if you're on her list, she's ringing your door bell with gifts.]

[believeit]

[That sure was someone at the door! The thump thump thump of someone dashing down the hallway can be heard before the oor springs open.]

Ah, Hinata!

action;

[fervidity]

[Noisy kid. Naruto beats her to the door but that doesn't stop her from joining and squeezing herself next to him to see who's visited.

Nobody she knows.]

Who's this? More girlfriends?

action;

[twinlionfists]

G-girlfriend? [Her face flushes deeply as she looks between the woman and Naruto-kun. Aside from the red hair and the whiskers on Naruto-kun's face, they look very much alike. She must be his mother.]

A-ah, my name is Hyuuga Hinata. [She gives a deep bow and holds up the box of red bean mochi that she made specifically for her visit.] I-I arrived to this village not long after your son, but I have only now been able to pay my respects. Please accept this gift!

action;

[believeit]

M-MOM! [Look at that beet-red face. More girlfriends?? So embarrassing!]

[Action] Clinic!

[thefinaljedi]

[He'd seen the new helper around, but he hand't actually take the time to talk to her yet. And that's not cool, so today he makes it a point to walk up and introduce himself during a lull in the work.]

Afternoon miss. I don't believe we've met.

[Action] Clinic!

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata put down the paper she'd been looking at when the tall, blond man approached her. She gave him a polite bow. Mizuno-san had said that this was Luke-san, the other person who was "in charge" of the clinic.]

A-ah, please forgive me. My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I am new to the village and the clinic.

[Action] Clinic!

[thefinaljedi]

[At 5'6", Luke is not one people would call tall, but he'd be extremely grateful for not being called short for once. He inclines his head right back.]

It's nice to meet you, Hinata. Ami said we've gotten some new hands. I'm Luke. Luke Skywalker and it's nice to meet you.

[Action] Clinic!

[twinlionfists]

[She's only 5'2", so he's taller than her!]

It is very nice to meet you, Skywalker-san. Mizuno-san told me that you were the other person in charge of the clinic but that she did not think you would mind me coming to help out.

Action

[medicalpunch]

[She does take a quick peek, just a little curious at what Hinata's got going that's so engrossing.]

Oh! You've got plenty of plans, huh?

Action

[twinlionfists]

[For once, Hinata isn't surprised to have someone looking over her shoulder and speaking suddenly. It is something she's adjusted to quickly since she'd arrived in Luceti, what with the communal kitchen for the floors.]

Yes! I wish to make formal visits to all of my friends now that I am settled in. It is only proper to do so.

[medicalpunch]

[The response earns a moment's contemplation from Sakura before she nods.]

You enjoy it, right? Going through those formal steps...

[twinlionfists]

[That question has her thinking for a moment. The steps had always seemed soothing, to be honest, with their rigidity.]

Y-yes. They are not difficult to follow and they make sense if you think about it. [She gives her friend a small smile.] Besides, it is only about being respectful of those around you, yes?

1/Neji

[niceguypose]

[When Lee hears someone at the door, he sprints across the apartment to answer it.]

I shall answer this door!

[And he swings the door open dramatically.]

Ah... Hinata-san! Good evening.

[twinlionfists]

[She smiles as Lee greets her, a bag of groceries held tightly in her hand.]

Hello, Lee-san! Are you well this evening? I-I have come to make dinner for Neji-niisan and yourself, if you two are available.

[screw_fate]

[Well, Lee's beaten him to the door, but Neji appears behind him in enough time to hear at least the second half of what she's said.]

Hinata-sama, good evening. You've chosen an opportune moment.

[niceguypose]

Neji it is correct. The time is very opportune indeed. [He smiles as he gives a quick bow and steps back, motioning for her to enter.]

[generalflirt]

[And Masaomi is the one that gets the door. Alas. But no really, he leans against the door frame, a crooked smile plastered on his lips when he sees who's there]

My, my, if it isn't Hinata-chan.

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata stops and gives him a polite, but brief bow, before holding up a plate of homemade cookies.]

H-hello, Kida-kun. I have come to see Shikamaru-kun and Chouji-kun. Are they home?

[generalflirt]

Oh, you're breaking my heart. You aren't even here for me.

[He hangs his head here, dramatically shaking his head. He doesn't take the cookies, or get out of the way]

doorbell!!

[weaponry]

[ Her previous visit with Hinata did not go over well, but Tenten still remains as plucky and unaffected as ever. The front she's put on in pretty much stonewalling her way through Neji's death is still successful, even if there are dark rings formed under her eyes. She sees Hinata and smiles briefly. ]

Hello, Hinata. What brings you here?

Wow, no pressure there, hm? [Action]

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata immediately notices the other girl's eyes and it makes her feel beyond guilty. The fact that Neji was dead in their world because of her made her stomach turn and twist. She'd lost two kilos since she arrived, but was afraid to tell anyone of that, lest it get back to Neji.]

Hello, Tenten-san. I am doing my formal visitations since I have been in the village for a while now. Is now an appropriate time for you?

NEVER ANY PRESSURE [Action]

[weaponry]

[ Tenten doesn't notice Hinata's weight loss. It's not severe yet. ]

Yeah. There's only so little to do in Luceti. Come on in. [ Her voice has a torn, yet velvety texture behind it. It's obvious Neji's death has slightly rattled her, still. ]

Action;

[lastsmoke]

[ It doesn't take Asuma long at all to answer the door, as he'd been about to head out to do a few crosswords and such in his floors kitchen. He's pleasantly surprised to see Hinata there, and gives her a smile. ]

Hinata, hello.

Action;

[twinlionfists]

[She gives the man a bright smile before holding out a plate of food out for him.]

Hello, Asuma-sensei. I have come to visit as I said I would, and I have brought you something.

Action;

[lastsmoke]

It's good to see you, and thank you for this. [ He takes the plate from her, opening the door a little wider and stepping aside so she could enter. ]

Come in.

[ His apartment is pretty bare. There are a few things, a pot of poppies on the window, a few knickknacks and puzzle-books around, and a rather unassuming chair. But for the most part it doesn't really look like anyone's been living here. ]

Have you been settling in well?
