While Kiba and Sachiko chatted, Sakurai found himself a little overwhelmed by the number of children and dogs running underfoot. He didn't often work in pediatrics, so he felt a little inexperienced already, but even when he did help with the kids it had never felt this chaotic before. (And for another thing, animals were not allowed in the hospital unless they had specified permission.) It felt like some of them were in danger of getting stepped on as Sakurai found himself being dragged further away, despite his half-hearted protests that he needed to help unload the food cart. Apparently games were much more important. Ah, to be young again.
At a certain point, Sakurai kinda gave up on fighting them and figured if he promised one game to them, he could hold them to an obligation to let him help the adults as needed. It wasn't until he was being pulled out into a courtyard of sorts that he ran into another familiar face who seemed to be heading towards the kitchens he'd just been kidnapped come from.

Hinaji had his own gaggle of kids around his feet, but he'd grown at least semi used to it, and he rather liked the change from the stoic and silent Hyuuga compound. Although he did feel bad for feeling overwhelmed most of the time, since Kiba always seemed so happy when he visited. He'd nearly made it to the doors to the kitchen, one toddler on his shoulders and two others clinging to his legs, when he heard someone he hadn't expected to.
"Sakurai-san?" He smiled brightly to see the other man being pulled by kids, and carefully slogged his way towards the other ninja as the kids around his ankles protested. "I didn't know you had arrived yet. Kiba said others were coming, but I never heard a specific time." He glanced back at the kitchen area. "Are the preparations already finished?" More than likely not, considering the chaos that was the Inuzuka Compound, but he felt it polite to ask.

"Just got here a few minutes ago. I didn't know you'd be here at all. Wow, guess this place is the hot spot for the holidays, huh." Sakurai eyed the number of kids Hinaji had hanging around him and wondered if there was any particular reason why these children had apparently chosen them as their playmates. Maybe they just knew better than to mess with women when they were busy. Hm, smart kids.
"The food still needs to be unloaded but I think Kiba and Sachiko are handling it. I was going to help, but I kinda got kidnapped. ...Literally," he added after realizing the pun.
...something happened.hyuuga_hinajiJanuary 2 2009, 01:58:22 UTC
The Hyuuga boy smiled at the pun. "Yes, that happens a lot around here. They aren't afraid of outsiders at all." He ruffled the hair of one of the kids attached to his leg and the boy grinned. He finished his slow trek towards Sakurai and the kids released him to tackle their kin around the other man. "And I don't think Kiba-chan would mind too much if we didn't help, so long as we keep the kids away." He'd come to realise just how important that duty was to this clan.
"This is your first time here, right?" The girl on his shoulder tugged at his hair and he winced slightly but began to move around again. "Is your family not doing anything for the holiday?"

"Ah, Hinaji. You're here too, huh?"
