Reflections Across Time: Katara and Soma

by blackamber41

Two girls from different places learn to live through hardships, love and betrayal. One from the Sand village with no recollection of her past. Another from an infamous village and is a secret member of the Akatsuki.

31. Home

Soma walked in minutes later… most of the food was already gone. "What the… Katara!" she exclaimed. "Tough luck," Katara said, with her mouth full. "Well… it's not my fault you get in fight after fight like every ten minutes," Soma sighed. Their mother poked her head in "oh?" she said, questioningly.

Soma took it upon herself to explain since Katara's mouth was still full. "Oh… did you give that one up too?" their mother asked. "Nope… she just got beat real bad," Soma scoffed. "Shut-up," Katara said, her mouth still full. "Katara don't talk with your mouth full," their mother scolded. "Sorry mom," Katara said, her mouth still full. "Haha sucker," Soma laughed. Katara swallowed her food, "I said shut-up."
"Are they arguing again?" a familiar, male voice asked. "DAD!" Katara and Soma yelled, happily. "You look really beat up," Katara commented. "Aha, you don't look so hot yourself," their father laughed. "Katara got in a fight… again," Soma sighed. "With who?" their father inquired. "Don't encourage her," their mother warned.
Their father laughed, "they're ninja's now… they need all the encouragement we can give." Both Katara and Soma beamed at their father's words. It meant a lot to them when their father, a Jounin, commented them on being ninja's.
