At the end of the day.
.
Kuraiya came back into the game room, only to find it packed to the brim, "I guess I got the other room's to myself then", he shrugged, then left without a word.
He went straight into the karaoke room after, without disturbing the others.
Kuraiya was unaware he was being watched as he went into the room, that person, quickly followed behind him silently.
As kuraiya was searching the song list, he felt a presence behind him, so he turned slightly, only to find hinata staring at him.
"What's up, are the games not to your liking?", she shook her head, before responding, "not interested, I can't get used to the controller's", hinata continued to shake her head, remembering how she had already struggled to use and play the games.
It kind of annoyed her, especially when tsunade came out of nowhere and started shaking her shoulders, while asking if she's interested in playing a gambling game.
Kuraiya nodded and he tapped the seat next to him, "come sit here, if you're interested, why not have a contest on who'll win in a singing contest".
She froze for moment, then walked over to kuraiya, "I don't know any of song's though", kuraiya chuckled, "don't worry about it, I can play the original, for you to understand it first, before you jump into it".
Hinata thought about it for a while, then nodded, "okay, let's go with that", kuraiya smiled brightly, before putting on his song first.
(He played, 'escape, ft, Enrique'.)
Throughout the process, due to kuraiya being a saiyan, he didn't have any voice breaks or shortage of breathing, so he quickly found his rhythm, kuraiya played the song, because Enrique was his go to pop star in his past life.
Hinata was just staring blankly at kuraiya, her cheeks flushed, because kuraiya kept turning back to her, "♪you can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love♪".
When the song finished, kuraiya smiled and passed her the notepad, to pick from the list of song's, he made sure to only put the girl type song's that are easy to sing on the list.
Hinata's cheeks were still rosy, struggling to breath while trying to pick a song, after a while she gave up, so kuraiya picked a duet song instead.
"This should be better, I'll sing along with you, this one isn't high on your vocals", kuraiya chose Enrique again, the rest were all too old for his liking, 'heartbeat'.
He grabbed another mic and pressed play, let it play, so she understood it, then he replayed it without the vocals.
Hinata's cheeks didn't stop the flush, seeing kuraiya getting into it, she resolved herself and sung along with him.
The two didn't realize that when they got to into it, that they were being watched by a few jealous people, due to how loud the sound was traveling.
When the song finished kuraiya and Hinata were staring at each other with heat in their eyes, each of them were breathing heavily, "ahem", just as the two were about to lunge forward, they turned to the sound.
Hinata who turned around, activated her tenseigan in anger, she raised her hand, kuraiya seeing this jumped in front of her.
"Ah, sorry, we didn't know you guy's were here, since when did you guy's arrive", hinata felt her hand get grabbed by kuraiya hand softly, so she snorted inwardly before deactivating the tenseigan.
Kuraiya sensed it and he let go of her hand, while smiling bitterly at the group, [getting in the way of my time with husband is courting death.]
Her anger towards the group was only temporary, but it still irked hinata a little.
Shizuka just smiled softly, "we heard the noise, so we came over to check", kuraiya nodded, "I guess this room needs some sound dampener's, if it's that loud".
He muttered under his breath, as he was musing to himself, Hinata re-grabbed kuraiya's hand.
He turned slightly and when he saw Hinata still annoyed, he could only relent for, "you wanna head out for a bit".
Hinata nodded, "can we go now", "sure", he answered quickly without thinking.
Kuraiya turned back to the group, "I'll see you guy's later, I'm gonna head out with Hinata for awhile".
Kurenai who snuck behind shizuka, gave Hinata a glare, [she's acting like this again, it's best to just let it be, unless we want to startle her further.]
She tapped the one's around her, giving them signals not to show any displeasure.
Kuraiya was already pulled away from the other's, leaving him no chance to apologize or continue to try appease both parties.
As he was pulled away he heard a good song come on, [aghhh!, Enrique.. I'm sorry!.], "♪maybe I just wa....♪", kuraiya hearing it fade into the distance felt heartbroken.
(Just for the ones who are interested, it's called 'love to see you cry').
Hinata seeing his expression, couldn't help but twitch her mouth, [you make it out as if I'm stealing you from your precious.]
(To him, it is).
When they left the house, kuraiya instinctively pulled away from Hinata upon seeing Gine alone.
Hinata at first was displeased, but when she saw kuraiya pulling Gine into his arms, she completely softened upon seeing him like that.
"Wanna come with your mom and dad", Gine looked around confused at first, before she nodded in excitement.
"I wanna bully grampa", Hinata hearing this, couldn't help but show a smile, before she shook her head, "alright, then you can go see him later, for now we're going around the village".
Gine pouted, "but those people outside give me weird looks, I don't like it", hinata frowned hearing this, kuraiya spoke up for her, "obviously they'll look at you like that", he pinched her cheek and continued, "it's because you're too cute".
Hinata felt relaxed hearing that, [good, if they're staring at her because of her tail, I'll obliterate them.], kuraiya felt a cold feeling coming from Hinata, so he walked over.
"Gine, show your mom, that trick I taught you", hinata who was feeling murderous, just stared at Gine awaiting to see the trick.
"Let me down and let me show it", kuraiya placed her on the ground, soon after "aghhh!".
'Boom'
A bright yellow light appeared, "this.. is this?", kuraiya smiled, before it turned into a haughty laugh, "hahahaha! Not bad, it seems your control is better than before".
"Hmph, of course, if dad can do it, so can I", she crossed her little arms, feeling proud.
Hinata, who was surprised became erratic, "agh! No! Why do you look so angry, where'd my cute..".
Kuraiya covered her mouth, "I've already told you, this form is like this, besides, if you be like this, you'll hurt her feelings", he whispered into Hinata's ear.
Hinata paused, looked down and indeed saw tears forming already in Gine's eyes, to quickly stop it, she crouched down and rubbed her little head, "I was just joking, this golden hair is bright and colorful".
(She's not lying, super saiyan hair glows after all)
Gine's aura flared up for a moment from excitement, kuraiya placed his hand on her head, "calm down, you're letting your emotions take over", Gine pouted.
"But..", "no but's, look at the ground", she followed his finger and saw a small crater.
"I want you to stay in this form for the rest of today, to get used to it", "but it drains to much energy daddy", kuraiya showed a smile and crossed his arms, "I thought you can do whatever I can".
Gine hearing this, immediately changed her demeanor, she put her hands on her small waist, while smiling as well, "hmph, I can, just you wait".
She raised her arms asking for kuraiya to pick her up, he didn't hesitate and placed her on his shoulder.
Hinata smiled at the two, before she said to them,"alright you two, let's go, I'm deciding on the places to go".
"Ahh!, Mom, no cheating, let me, let me choose", Gine kept squirming on kuraiya's shoulder, almost jumping off.
"No", 'sniff' 'sniff', "does mom hates me", hinata hearing this couldn't help but give a look towards the two, kuraiya turned away from her gaze.
"It seems she hates you, but don't worry, your dad will always love you", he scuffled Gine's hair as he gave Hinata a slighty scared gaze.
Hinata herself just stared at him without saying anything, for a moment the atmosphere went cold, Hinata finally moved and she appeared in front of him.
Grabbed his ear, causing him to lean down, "ahh! I'm sorry!", Hinata didn't say anything still, she opened her mouth and bit down on his cheek.
Gine seeing this, mimicked Hinata's action's and she also bit down on his cheek, because she was in super saiyan, it actually hurt Kuraiya a little.
His face showed absolute pain for a moment, but it was enough for him to fall down, so they took the chance to make him feel more pain, for a while it looked like two lion's mauling on it's prey.
When they had enough and let go, kuraiya looked at them with a hint of betrayal in his eyes, [why..why did you both attack me like this.]
Hearing the two in front of him laughing, he felt his pride crumbling, but seeing the two already happy again, Kuraiya gave a wry smile.
He had no idea, he had teeth marks covering his face, that's why the two were laughing, Gine and Hinata stopped, then looked at each other.
Gine was the first to respond, she raised her arms up towards Hinata, Hinata seeing this picked her up, then turned her head away from Kuraiya, in her own way of ignoring him.
She walked away soon after and kuraiya followed behind them, still gloating to himself about being attacked.
As the three were roaming around the village, Hinata heard Gine's belly growling, she showed a wider smile, "you're hungry, let's go and have a meal, your dad's paying, when we're finished, you should head back home and look after your little sister Sasha".
Gine nodded, before turning around slightly, "Dad's, still unhappy, we should do something".
Hinata followed her line of view, and indeed she saw him sulking, Hinata chuckled and she whispered into Gine's ear.
"Okay, I'll do it", Gine smiled brightly, "daddy!, I'm hungry, can you buy some food please", kuraiya who was watching his surroundings, turned to face Gine's watering eyes, his face grunted with helplessness.
"Alright, how about we go have some meat, how about BBQ", Gine nodded quickly, already drooling in anticipation.
Hinata herself copied Gine and she too couldn't help but drool at the thought of the grease.
They quickly arrived at a BBQ restaurant owned by the Akimichi clan, Gine's glowing golden hair quickly caught the attention of the passersby's as they entered.
Kuraiya took them to a corner and he waved his hand towards a waiter, half an hour later, their first feast started, since kuraiya's been here a lot, he's recognized as the bottomless pit there, by the owner.
It wasn't long, until they reached their second feast since their arrival, kuraiya looked around before whispering to the other two, "we should order our last, we've already brought in a crowd".
Hia face was slightly displeased seeing it, Gine seeing Kuraiya acting displeased, raised her little hand towards the group.
Kuraiya's eyes widened and quickly stopped her actions, "easy.., doing that, is dangerous, haven't I already told you, they're not strong", he whispered in a low voice.
"But they're clearly interrupting", she looked down pouting, Kuraiya smiled a little, [at least it isn't just my temper seeing things I dislike, perhaps it's just a saiyan thing.]
"Ahem, alright let's have another round, before leaving", Hinata interjected the two's little talk.
Kuraiya nodded as well as Gine, before she glared at the crowd in displeasure.
.
Some time later.
.
Hinata and the two left after eating a little, Hinata was about to speak when they left, but Kuraiya cupped the two of them in an embrace, before flying off.
"Sorry about being abrupt, but that atmosphere is suffocating me", he quickly appeared in the hyuga residence and he placed them onto the ground, "should I go grab a fish to finish off, from where we left".
She saw him still rubbing his stomach while frowning, Gine was the first to speak, butting in before Hinata could, "yeah!.. umm.. Daddy can I come too".
Kuraiya thought for a moment before nodding, "why not, let's go now, we'll grab two extra for the other's as well".
Hinata was speechless for a moment, seeing the two fly off without waiting for her to say something.
After they disappeared, they reappeared a while later with three large fish.
On the way back, Gine asked Kuraiya if she could watch how to cook the fish, to which he nodded.
So when they arrived back, he placed one of the fish down, before disappearing again to send the other two back home.
When he returned, he clapped his hands together, "well then, let's feast!".
As the three were about to eat, they were interrupted by Hanabi who had sneaked over at some point, followed by a reluctant Neji.
Neji instinctively flinched when he saw Gine, the scene of him being knocked out two years ago, was still fresh in his mind.
Hinata glared at Hanabi for sneaking around and joining her alone time, Hanabi ignored her glare and ran over to Gine.
It was now a group meal of five, Hiashi at some point came out and saw the scene, for a while he stood to the side with a slight smile on his face.
