A/N: How's it going everybody!


Still Friends

Summary: Hinata has a chat with Oboro about her being a Royal, and then some other things.

Setting: Post-Revelations. AU since the children are well… children.


"So," Hinata began. "You're the new Queen of Valla now huh?"

"Apparently so…" Oboro replied.

Just by the former retainers, were their respective child Hisame and Kana, both were playing by Kana's play area in the castle.

"What's it like?" Hinata asked again. "Y'know, about being a queen and stuff. Is it all about public appearances, manners and whatever stuff?"

Oboro sighed before replying with pure honesty, "Somewhat like that. I mean, I still get to relax every once in a while, but that doesn't mean that those things are never far behind."

"I see. Don't you miss it?"

"Miss what?" Oboro looked to her friend-slash-partner with a raised eyebrow.

"Being a retainer and helping Lord Takumi." Hinata explained.

"What do you mean exactly?"

"I mean, don't get me wrong." The Samurai began, "I like that the war has finally ended for good, but don't you ever miss being a retainer, and serving Lord Takumi?... alongside me?"

"Of course I do."

"Really?" Hinata asked again, with a somewhat glimmer in his eyes.

"Every day of my life." Oboro admitted. "I really miss the days when you and me could just sit around, and wait whenever Lord-I mean Brother Takumi needed us… or not." Oboro finished, still having trouble referring to Takumi as a brother, when he was her former superior.

"Call me selfish or whatever, but I kinda wish that it was the old days again. Sure that would mean that the war would still be ongoing, but to spend time with both you and Lord Takumi again…" The Samurai then exhaled loudly. "That would fill this empty thing inside me." As Hinata finished his sentence, he couldn't help but let the tears flow.

"Oh Hinata," Oboro said, placing a hand on her friend. "I kinda miss those days too. But that would mean that I would've never met Corrin, and have Kana." She took a glance to her daughter, who was smiling, and having fun with Hisame.

"Don't tell me you regret having met Setsuna, and having Hisame?"

"What? Of course not. I don't regret any second of it." Hinata defended. "I just wish that we could spend time with each other again…"

"Hinata…" Oboro began. "We could spend time together anytime you want. You just have to tell me."

"But what about your duties of being queen and stuff?" Hinata countered.

"I'm not always busy you know." Oboro reminded. "You just have to let me know in advance."

"Thanks Oboro."

"You're welcome…" Oboro finished by playfully grabbing Hinata, and rubbing her fist against his head.

"Hey no fair, I wasn't ready!"

"Slowpoke!"


A/N: Since I did Takumi in chapter "I'm too lazy to look at my story and check", I thought I should give Hinata a chapter since he's a fellow retainer with Oboro.

Sorry for the lack of Corrin in this chapter. I really tried to make him fit into the chapter, but couldn't, so both his and Setsuna's appearance had to be cut.

Being dead honest though, this was something that I was planning for quite some time, but constantly forgot, so here. Finally uploaded it, THANK GOD!

Until next chapter, BYE!
