It was a cloudy afternoon in Kōgakure, the town was bustling as always, people in the streets, business booming, all the like. Hotaru was in her house as usual, reading up on scrolls as she lay on her living room couch. She was dressed in her pjs since she had planned on staying in; it consisted of sweats and a loose T-shirt. A knock sounded on her door and she jolted a little from it; she wasn’t expecting company, and Obelisk was somewhere in the house. Hotaru closed her scroll and got up, throwing her messy hair in a bun before opening the door. She could have sworn her heart skipped a beat; before her was none other than her father and brother. Hotaru looked as if she was about to cry, how long has it been since she’s seen her father? About 2 years she supposed, he had come to her graduation from the academy. Her father’s goofy grin was enough to prove it was actually him and not a mirage, as well as her brother’s permanent scowl. She latched onto her father and hugged him tightly; he laughed and hugged her, gently petting her head. “Little Nana, it’s good to see you too.” He said, holding her till she let go. “You waste of space, you made father miss a very important meeting because he got word of you leaving. I knew I shouldn’t have let you move out.” Her brother Hayate’s words were always like venom. Her father frowned at him, “Come now, family is more important…although I’d be hypocritical with that, but at least I’m trying.” He was right; her father was always trying to find ways to spend time with them.

“Please, come in.” Hotaru stepped aside for them to enter, glaring at her brother once their father walked in. “Nice place Nana, I’m surprised at how spotless it is. With you gone, the house is extremely dirty.” Her brother Hayate scowled at this, “I was going to clean it a week ago but you came out of nowhere without a notice!” Their father merely chuckled. “Father, why did you and Hayate come here? I thought you weren’t allowed to leave the leaf.” Hotaru said, watching as her father took a seat on the couch and her brother took the love seat. “That’s the thing; I have come to bring you back. I came with the Hokage’s and the Lord’s permission, it wasn’t easy, but I had to bring my late wife’s joy home.” Hikaru, her father, had said this with a serious tone. “Mothers’ pride and joy? She died before seeing her walk, let alone crawl.” Their father shot Hayate a deathening gaze; if looks could kill. “Your mother loved the both of you equally. Even if she never saw Nanalu grow up, she is always with us here in spirit.” This was the side of father that was rarely seen; he was usually happy-go-lucky. Hayate kept his mouth shut after this, not having a comeback. “Father…I changed my name to Hotaru legally…” Hotaru said, giving him a small smile. Their father blinked and looked up at his youngest, “Why? What have I missed?” Bless this sweet soul. Hotaru let out a shaky breath and began to tell their father everything, meeting her first friend all the way up to now. For once Hotaru didn’t have a mental break down when explaining the death of her dear friend to her  father. She looked over at him when she was finished, he looked heartbroken, she then glanced at Hayate; it didn’t seem to faze him, he used to be in a squad too, but she did see a small hint of jealousy; must’ve been because of her spider seal.

Hikaru stood up and hugged his petite daughter, “You’ve grown up so much, been through so much, and you’ve become a remarkable woman. You’re still my little Nana despite your name change though.” He said, grinning. This made Hotaru giggle, she loved her father dearly. Hayate cleared his throat and gestured to an invisible watch on his wrist. “Father, we don’t have long. Finish talking to the useless Hy ūga and let’s go.” “One more interruption and you’ll be waiting outside with my guards and the rest of the villagers that wanted to live here.” Hikaru said with a growl, he hated to be pestered. Hayate glared at Hotaru, she was sure as hell glad not to be living with him anymore; he’d insult her to no tomorrow once their father left.
