Together Always

Chapter 24 - Family Talk

Third Person's POV

Miyuki opens her eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling.

"Dammit... I hate this place..." Miyuki whispered.

"Why? It's quite peaceful without the kids"

She tilt her head to the side and saw Kakashi with his book in his face.

"I hate the smell here. And its too bright..." Miyuki said, looking up at the ceiling.

Kakashi keeps his book away.

"Miyuki... How are you feeling?" He ask.

Said girl sigh.

"I was supposed to be in the finals, looks like I have to come up with another plan..." She said.

"Miyuki---"

"I'm fine, Sensei. Really I am. I just, can't get rid of this feeling... Am I suppose to be happy that there's a survivor in my clan? In Kouji-nii's clan I mean... Or am I suppose to be sad that he became like that because of me? Am I suppose to be glad or should I feel remorse? What am I suppose to do?  Where is my aim now? How am I suppose to use this knowledge? Why me? Its all so confusing... There's just do many questions in my mind... More about my clan, the village, the people, what to do, how to make things right...I-I... All this things in my mind, I cant get rid of it..." Miyuki place her hand over her eyes.

Kakashi frowned.

'have she been keeping all this questions in her mind? How am I suppose to answer all of this?' Kakashi thought.

"Don't mind about it"

They both look towards the door and saw the Third Hokage standing there.

"You remind me of a boy I once know. Your thinking is as wise as a Hokage. But Miyuki, I cannot change for who you are, but the best advice I can give you is, try being yourself. Just let everything go. Don't bottle it up. After all, if you keep doing that... It will destroy yourself" The third said.

"That boy you mention went through more... Much, much more than me... I can not be compared with him...." Miyuki whispered.

'Boy? Who are they talking about?' Kakashi ask himself.

"That's why I said you both are similar. The way you think, act and talk. Its like having the same people all over again" The third said.

"Just stop talking about him... And don't talk as if he's dead. He is still very much alive... Although not for long..." Miyuki said.

"I see you know his end as well..." Third said.

"Yeah. He's suffering. But in the future, killed by his own flesh and blood..." Miyuki said.

"But anyways, I'm glad you're okay. Protecting the village and as well as your clan, I'm proud of you" The third said.

Miyuki just nod slightly.

"how's....how's the kid?" Miyuki ask.

"That Amuro kid is fine. He's been keeping quiet ever since your fight with him" Kakashi said.

"I see... How about Kouji?" Miyuki ask again.

"Kouji is keeping an eye on Amuro-kun. But he is fine, don't worry" Third said.

Miyuki just sigh.

The door to the room open.

"I'm really getting a lot of visitors aren't I?" Miyuki said.

"Onee-chan...."

Miyuki's eyes open wide.

She look to the side to see Kaito looking at her with tears in his eyes.
