After the mission, it was a long journey home. Team 7 was quiet on the way back and everyone had one collective thought. That they survived their first B- rank mission and it was a miracle. Sakiya didn't think she was going to be any help on this mission but it turned out that that wasn't true at all. She was a huge help and it was thanks to her teammates and her sensei having her back.

"Hey Saki," Sakura said, getting Sakiya's attention.

"Yeah, Sakura?" She said looking at her.

"Do you think maybe you could try teaching me the medical ninjutsu when we get home?" She asked shyly. Sakiya was taken back.

"Sakura, I have no idea how I even used medical ninjutsu. I need to train with it before I can show you how to use it." She said. Sakura looked down.

"Okay, that's fine." She said. Sakiya put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Sakura. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I need to know how to use it before I can do anything." She said with a small smile. Sakura smiled at her.

"I understand Sakiya, I didn't really think of that." She said. They continued walking back to the village. Sakiya didn't know how long they had been walking, but it was hot and she was tired. Just then, the Leaf village gates showed up over the hill. All of team 7 got excited and started running towards the gates.

"We're finally home!" Naruto yelled. Sakiya and Sakura were just as excited to be home. Right as they entered the village the team stopped to catch their breath.

"Finally... We... are... home..." Naruto breathes out. Sakiya and Sakura nodded. As they caught their breath they saw that Kakashi walked up to them.

"How come you're not as excited to be home Sensei?" Sakura asked.

"Well, I've been going on missions for a while now. So, I'm used to being away for long periods of time." He said nonchalantly.

"I'm going to go let the Hokage know that we are back and let him know how the mission went. You four can go home and rest and we will start missions tomorrow." Kakashi said. The four nodded and walked to their homes. As Naruto and Sasuke walked in separate directions, the twins walked home together.

"So, do you want to tell mom and dad about the mission?" Sakura asked.

"I mean, I can. I thought that maybe you would want to be the one to tell them." She said. Sakura smiled.

"Well, you are the one who did most of the mission. So, I think you deserve to be the one to tell them." Sakura said. Sakiya was surprised. Normally Sakura wanted to be the center of attention. This was new to her.

They walked up the steps of their house and walked in, taking their shoes off and walking into the kitchen where they smelled food.

"Oh my! My girls are back!" Their mom yelled in excitement. Their dad must have heard because he came running down the stairs.

"My lovely girls! We've missed you dearly!" Their dad yelled and embraced them into a big hug.

"Okay dad, you can let go," Sakiya said. He released them and looked at them with a huge smile on his face.

"Girls, come sit and eat. I know it must have been a long journey home." Their mom said ushering them into their seats. The twins sat down at the table.

"So, tell us. How did the mission go?" their mom asked. The girls looked at each other and Sakura nodded. Sakiya told them everything from the beginning of the mission all the way to the end of it. At the name of Zabuza, their parents looked at each other.

"He's in the bingo book though, isn't he? He's dangerous." Their mom said. Sakiya explained what happened and continued with the story. As Sakiya ended with what happened on the bridge, their eyes widened.

"You can use Medical Ninjutsu? How is that possible? No one in our family has used it before." Their dad explained to them. The girls shrugged their shoulders.

"We don't know, but Sakiya used it. It was amazing. She healed Sasuke and brought him back to life." Sakura explained proudly. Sakiya smiled at her sister. She really couldn't believe how she's changed through the mission. They used to argue all the time about who was stronger and who was going to succeed as a ninja, but now they were getting along and helping each other.

After they got done eating, the twins went to their room to unpack their things and get ready for bed. As Sakiya was unpacking she saw someone outside their house. She looked out the window and saw that Kakashi was at their door. She furrowed her eyebrows at this and walked towards the end of the hallways and looked downstairs at the door. Her dad and mom had answered and were talking to Kakashi.

"Oh, hello Kakashi. What can we do for you? The girls are upstairs, probably already asleep." Her dad said.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Haruno. I'm actually not here for the girls. I've come to talk to you about them. If I may?" He said and motioned inside. Her dad nodded and let him in. They went into the living room and Sakiya slowly made her way downstairs and quietly as possible.

"So, Kakashi. What brings you here so late?" Her mom asked.

"Well, while we were on our mission and when we were fighting Zabuza I noticed something that the girls did and it made me wonder if you knew." He started.

"The girls told us everything that happened on the mission." Her dad said.

"They may not have told you everything, but that could be because they didn't even know it happened," Kakashi said.

"What happened? Are they alright?" Her mom asked. Sakiya heard Kakashi sigh.

"Yes, I believe that they are alright. What I witnessed was Sakura's and Sakiya's chakra infused together. They created Sakiya's jutsu to become stronger and to keep hold of her jutsu. It was when they touched. I don't know if they have ever done this before or not, but I needed to talk to you about it before I did with the Hokage." He explained. Sakiya's eyes widened. What did that mean?

There was a slight pause before her mom spoke.

"There was this one time. They were arguing when they were younger and I couldn't get them to stop. The girls don't know this because we had Inoichi block the memory from them. Sakiya got mad and burst one of the pipes and when I yelled at them to stop, Sakura grabbed Sakiya's hand and they flooded the entire house. I know it isn't much, but they didn't have a lot of chakra individually. But when they locked hands, their chakra combined ruined the house. That's why we had to move. They don't know this yet Kakashi." She explained. Sakiya felt like she was going to cry. She didn't know this and she felt bad that they were the cause of them moving.

"Listen, I know that this is hard, but I think that if they knew they could create powerful jutsu together," Kakashi said.

"We know Kakashi, but it makes us nervous." her dad said.

"Why? They could become very strong together." Kakashi said. Her dad sighed.

"We know, but you have to remember. They are twins. They live together and if they argue or fight, they could really hurt each other or someone else." He said. Kakashi chuckled.

"Well, then they live and they learn. They need to know and if I could have your permission to tell them, I would appreciate it." Kakashi said. She figured her parents nodded because she heard Kakashi get up and say his goodbyes. She ran upstairs and quickly as she could and checked to see if Sakura was awake. When she opened her door, she saw that the lights were off, so she didn't bother. She walked into her room and laid down, turning off the light.

What did this mean for them? How would they train together and how would Sakura react to knowing this? Sakiya knew she would find out in the morning so she wasn't worried about it. Although, she was wondering how Sakura would take it.
