Starting over

#15 Vacation

Temari POV

We arrived at the spa after a few hours of traveling. I was amazed by this place. I never even had heard of it, before Naruto had suggested it. But one thing was for sure; it looked way too expensive for two kids. I worriedly looked at Naruto who just smiled at me and confidently walked to the counter while I silently followed behind. "Hi, what can I do for you two?", the receptionist asked leaning over the counter to look at us, since we were too little to look over it. Naruto just smiled and looked at the women from under his hood. "I would like to have the keys to the Namikaze-Rooms, so that we can relax for a few days here. I suppose that that won't be a problem?", he asked still smiling. The women's eyes widened slightly before she regained her posture. "I'm sorry, but this part of our spa is reserved just for members of the Namikaze-Clan, so I can't give you the keys. But you can rent another room if you want.", she proposed smiling apologetically at Naruto. Naruto just chuckled and lowered his hood so that the receptionist could see his face and hair grinning at the shocked women before him. "I think that, as the son of Minato Namikaze, I am entitled to getting the keys to my family's rooms.", he said holding out his hands for the keys, or at least that's what I thought he was doing. "Ye-Yes, of course Namikaze-sama.", his counterpart stuttered before reaching under her counter and presenting a small safe with a seal on top of it. She gave it to Naruto and he just nodded at her, before making a small cut on his thumb with a kunai and letting a bit of blood drop onto the seal. It glowed and Naruto gave the safe back to the women, who looked as if she had seen a ghost, while quickly opening the small safe and getting a set of keys out. "Here you go, I'm sorry for my behaviour, have a nice vacation.", she said as she handed Naruto the keychain. She then proceeded to signal for a coworker of hers to come and guide us to the section where we would be staying. Naruto turned to me and winked at me, then he took me by my hand and we went after the man to see where we would be staying.

Now we were standing in front of a big wooden door with a sign that said 'Only for members of the Namikaze-Clan. He who is not of our blood will suffer horribly.', while Naruto was trying to find the right key to unlock the door. It clicked and the door swung open. Ahead of us lay a bright hallway made out of the finest stones and decorated with wooden statues. Naruto happily went through the now open door and proceeded to head down the hallway when he realized that I was still standing in front of the door. "Are you not coming in?", he asked, walking back to me and holding out his hand. "Have you not read the sign? I'm not of your blood, so I will suffer horribly if I should enter.", I said sadly, letting my head down. "Ah that sign is just to scare potential intruders away, it's just hollow phrases.", he said, almost whispering as if someone could be spying on us. He took my hand and I slowly crossed through the doorway. Somehow I still was expecting something to happen, but everything stayed still. I let out a sigh that I didn't even know i was holding and smiled at Naruto. We walked through the hallway admiring the detailed, and probably extraordinary expensive, statues and the well processed marble floor. I winced when I heard the door fall back into its case, which caused Naruto to chuckle quietly. I glared at him mockingly, before continuing to look around, occasionally opening a door to find a few private baths, a beautiful bedroom with a gigantic bed, and a seperate bathroom. When we reached the end of the hallway Naruto opened the door to his right and went into the room. I followed him and found myself standing next to the blonde boy in a comparatively small but still astonishing beautiful room with a single normal sized bed. Naruto smiled at me before turning around and went to the room on the opposite site of the hallway. He opened the door and I saw an almost exact replica of the room I had just left, the only difference being that the walls were of a light blue instead of dark green. "Which room do you want?", Naruto asked grinning at me. I looked at him confused until I remembered that we would be staying here for two more days. "I guess I'll take the dark green room I said pointing at the right room. "Okay.", the boy simply said before going into the left room wanting to close the door in the process. But I put my foot in between the doorcase and the door, causing a questioning look from Naruto. "Naruto. What is this place? How do you think we can pay for this?", I asked him the questions that had been troubling me since we had arrived at the spa. His face cleared and he smiled at me, gesturing for me to come into the room and to sit on the bed. "This is the Namikaze-Uzumaki-Spa, founded by the fourth Hokage, before he was to become Hokage. As you know my father Minato Namikaze was said Hokage, so technically I own this whole place. My father had it run by some guy so that he wouldn't have to deal with even more trouble than his job as the Hokage already brought him. I think that this guy still runs this place, even though it doesn't matter, since my father has left instructions to give me the ownership of this spa when I reach either Jonin-rank or then age of 18. He also had seen to it, that everyone that is from his family would have access to this part, which is closed off from the rest of the spa without paying a single ryo. So we don't have to worry about a thing.", the blonde boy explained after sitting besides me on the bed. "That is why the keys to this part of the spa are held in a specially sealed box which can only be opened by a Namikaze.", Naruto finished. I just nodded trying to process what he had just said. After a minute my eyes went wide. "You are the son of the Yellow Flash?", I basically screamed at him. He looked down on his hands, the topic seemed to be a delicate one for him. "Yes, I am.", he admitted after a little time had passed.

Naruto POV

I readied myself for a lot of questions from the blonde girl that was sitting next to me but was surprised when she got up and turned to leave the room. "That's so cool. Well, I'll get ready for a bath. If you want you can join.", she offered before going to her room, closing the door behind her. I was kind of shocked that she didn't press the issue but was also thankful, since I never really had a chance to find peace with it.
