You stared at the village you left 12 years ago. There was Konoha, in all its glory. As you reached the gate, you took the headband you had earned at age twelve, and showed it to the guards. "Come on Aiko!" You called out to the thirteen year old girl with brown hair and startling green eyes.
"I'll be right there Hikari!" Aiko called. You smiled at the girl who was as carefree as a butterfly. You were 25 years old, with butt-length blond hair, and blue eyes. You were wearing an orange battle kimono, your favorite. You were very tired, and all you wanted at the moment was food and a bath. You especially wanted ramen.
The guards let both of you in without saying a word. You immediately walked towards the Hokage's tower. When you reached it, you walked in. You stopped.
"Aiko, wait here."
"Okay!" You reached into your bag, and pulled out the headband that had the symbol of the Fire Nation on it, and tied it around your neck. You were officially a genin, but you had the power of a jounin. You walked into the Hokage's office. The Hokage was sitting at his desk, signing some paper.
"Hokage-sama?" You asked, wondering if he remembered you.
He looked at you very hard, and then gasped. "Hikari?"
"Yay! You remembered me!"
"I could never forget you, Hikari," He said, looking at you sadly.
"I have completed my twelve years of training, as you can see."
"Yes, I was expecting you any day now."
"I would like to rest a while, and then I'll come back here. I also wanted to see my little brother."
"Of course. Come back here in three days, and I'll have a mission waiting."
"Thank you!" You squealed, while running across the room and hugging him.
"You're welcome. I'll see you in three days."
You smiled brightly. "I'll be here! I missed missions. I also would like to tell you that I am now at jounin level. I would also like the keys to my manor."
"Of course," He said, throwing the keys to you
"Thanks old-man!" You squealed again, caught the keys, and ran out the doors to his office.
They are so much alike, the Hokage thought, while looking back at his papers.
"Come on Aiko, I got the keys to the house! After we get settled in, we can go to the hot-springs."
"Coming Hikari!" Aiko trotted after you, giggling. She had never seen a village. However, under that carefree attitude, there was a tremendous power.
Later
"Here we are!" You called, staring at your manor. I looked just like it always did, big, blue, and gold. You walked up to the door, and opened the door. Everything looked like it did 12 years ago. You squealed and ran up the stairs to your room. There it was, all gold and pink, just like you left. You smiled, and threw your bag on the bed. "Aiko, you have the room over there," You said, pointing.
"OK!" Aiko yelled, ecstatic.
You walked down the hall, past the guest bedrooms. At the door at the end of the hall, you turned right, and walked into the nursery. You smiled sadly at what should have been where your little brother's room. You backed out, and walked in the doors at the end of the hall. This was your parent's bedroom. You walked up to the bed, and stuffed your face into the comforter, smelling your parents. You started crying. You cried there for about fifteen minutes before, exercising supreme willpower, stood up, and stopped crying. You walked out the door, and called to Aiko to get her swimsuit, you were going to the hot springs.
Sorry this is so short, the next chapter will be longer. Review please.
