Naruto Gaiden: The Next Generation

Dealing with emotions

***honoro's PoV***
I always run when I'm nervous, I ran a lot when I was training, I ran when I first became a genin. That's why I'm running now.

I don't regret running away, I regret what I said. I see Koki nearby and he smiles a little. He's a nice guy and he's been making sure I'm ok every ten seconds. 

He's also my roommate, I think he's seventeen which would make him the youngest.  Apart from me of course.

He opens his mouth to speak and I answer before he makes a sound 'yeah I'm alright'
He just laughs 'that's good, I was actually going to tell you that Idris got some info and your dads have made a group and is coming to try and find you.'

I nod, I want them to leave me alone. I want to train, get stronger and then I'll go back and show them what I've learned. I don't want to end up how either of my dads did, I want to make my own path...

Godamnit I sound like a philosopher!

I laugh at myself and Koki smiles at me, 'I still think that you shouldn't have come ' He doesn't mean anything rude by that, he's looking out for me.
So I just smile 'I know '

****Touka's PoV****
I've always been the mature one. It's just one of those things.

But what do I do now?

I've lost my cousin, or whatever we are, it hit me hard. I can't let on that I'm upset because Sachiko will think I'm a wimp.

She's more amazing than I first realised.

She's smart, she's witty, she's really pretty. I want to be with her.

But I can't, she's probably straight.

Anyway can you imagine how mom would react to me dating a girl? I mean, She never really accepted when dad and Naruto were married apparently.

That's why she got with dad as soon as possible after Dad and Naruto got a divorce. She thought it was only logical.

But I'm glad she did or I wouldn't be here and me and Sachiko would be incest.

I remember being a mature child... But what does a mature person do when they need someone mature?

They talk to their twin sister apparently.

That's why I'm curled up on Saradas lap. Crying whilst she braids my hair.

She knows everything about me and my feelings and the such. She makes me feel safe when I'm really upset.

She speaks softly 'Touka-chan, aren't you supposed to be at the gate soon?'

I don't move 'Kakashi and Obito won't be there on time, why should I be?'

She shrugs and says 'true' and starts to hum and braid my hair again.
