The guardian chronicles : Nirvana (Todoroki Shoto x Uzumaki Naruto)

Chapter 67

Uzumaki Tomoyo was only three and half when she learnt just how wonderful her Quirk, or Kekkei Genkai as her father called it.

It was a memory she remembers so well even though she had been young. At that age, children were curious and waited with excitement for their Quirks. Your Quirk defined you or so Tomoyo understood from watching the children in her nursery. She doesn't fully understands why people say that. Her Daddy didn't actually have a Quirk but he never gets annoyed whenever Mummy uses her Quirk in front of them.

He never lets it defined him.

Her family lives in a nice neighbourhood, close to Uncle Kenji and his family. Eisuke was her older cousin, only older than her by a year. They have a lot of family members but Eisuke was the only one close to her age and was just like her. Both of their mothers had been born here and not in the strange lands of their fathers. Eisuke lives near her and Tomoyo guessed it was why they were so close.

It was probably that and the fact her parents always heals him whenever he does something stupid. I'm All Might. That was what Eisuke will always say whenever they play in the playground with the other kids. Tomoyo likes All Might and heroes but she was never going to become a hero.

She know what she wants to be and it was to be a doctor like her parents.

If Eisuke becomes a hero then he will need a doctor and Tomoyo will be that doctor, because her Mummy and Daddy would not always be there to fix his booboos. Her Father finds it funny when she tells him this, while her Mother shakes her head and tells her that she shouldn't worry about Eisuke becoming hero.

"Just wait till the both of you go to high school, maybe the both of you will change your mind." Her mother said when she puts on her doctor coat and gets ready to go for work. Her father comes in, rubbing his chin and putting on his coat too. The little girl wrinkles her nose and looks away when her parents peck each other on the lips.

Tomoyo jumps off from her seat, heading straight to the living room to take her bagpack and head to her nursery with her father. What happens next was something Tomoyo will never forget. At the age of three, Tomoyo was still innocent and has no understanding that it was possible for a kid near her age to get hurt. When she thinks of booboos, she thinks of tiny cuts but not of big wounds.

The doorbell rang throughout the house and Tomoyo drops her bag, hurrying straight to the door with her violet eyes shining with curiosity. She looks to the kitchen and sees her parents were still talking, her mother flickering her eyes to the crib where her little brother slept, before looking at her. Her father stared at her with harden eyes and later Tomoyo will learn that her father was trying to convince her mother about letting her learn how to defend herself.

She pulls open the door and blinks at the sight of Eisuke with a frail red-haired boy filled with so many cuts and bruises. Compared to her older cousin, the boy was just a little bit shorter and thinner than her cousin if that was even possible. But what really stood out to Tomoyo at that time was his turquoise eyes. It wasn't how pretty it look but the amount of fear and growing rage in them.

"Is Obaachan here? Or even the Old Goat?" Eisuke asked her, gently pushing the boy into the house. Tomoyo nods and flickered her eyes to the kitchen, where her parents were still talking quietly. Neither of them noticed the fact that her cousin was here with a little boy filled with so many injuries, they seemed more concern with looking at each other and arguing in hush whispers.

"What did you do this time, Ei-kun?" Tomoyo asked, grabbing Eisuke in the arm. Her cousin frowns at her, looking offended that she would blame him for putting the hurt little boy in that condition. At the time, it seemed logical. Eisuke could never play gentle. He takes after his father in that way. That was what her Daddy tells to Uncle Kenji and his wife whenever Eisuke comes to their house with any broken bones or bruises.
