Hideki was used to being surrounded by either her family or friends, so being alone for once was a well deserved. Not that she didn't like being around people all the time, it was just nice to be alone with her thoughts. To analyze her situation. She needed to.

So, she was reborn. She was killed by her mother when she was 16, yet her she is. Four years old, with a loving mother and father. Not to mention, her new life included ninja's since her parents own the shop where most get their weapons. Everyone here spoke Japanese, she even had a new name.

She'd heard of reincarnation in her past life, though she didn't actually believe. And when she did entertain the idea, she assumed she'd be reborn as a bug. Waiting to have a shoe dropped on her.

Did she deserve this life? What had she done to get this opportunity? To have a great family. To be surrounded by love and warmth.

She didn't feel like she did anything special to live in this life now. Yet her she was. Four years old. Happy.

And watching Asa speaking with a customer with Hiro making funny faces at her, she didn't want to leave. She wanted to be selfish and think she deserved this.

Feeling another body collide with hers, the young brunette found herself being pulled into a group hug with Ino, Choji, and a reluctant Shikamaru.

"What're you guys doing?"

"You looked sad, and we're gonna cheer you up! That's what friends do!"

Choji just nods along with Ino, gripping at my shirt. Shikamaru lets out a long sigh, though he pats my head.

"Even if you are a drag most days."

Yes, she deserves this and she's going to make sure it lasts.
