Naruto The Next Generation: The Unexpected War (Jazz and Alisdragon911)

It was a the afternoon within the Hidden Leaf Village. The weather was warm as usual and the villagers active as always. However for The Hatake twins, they weren't enjoying the veiw or anything like they always did. They were walking through the forest of the training grounds looking for their teammate. Syuki walked along side Nero as they searched for their teammate. Syuki had always seemed to get along to their friend till after the Chunin exams. But since then they had been back on good terms. "Mikoto! Mikoto! Where are you?" Syuki chimmed. Kashi the ferret was wrapped around her neck, just relaxing. Nero however was quiet, keeping his nose to the ground and ears perked as he watched for any sign of their friend Mikoto. They wondered where she could be, but they had a feeling where she would be.

Mikoto sense two separate bodies of charka coming her way. She still did not want anyone to find her but this could be important. She look up as her crow was flying around and landed on her shoulder. The crow cried out. It was time to meet them as she did not suppress her charka, she was sitting in a tree as she spotted the Hatake twins. It has been awhile since she spoken to both of them at separate times. She jumped down from the tree in front of the twins. She did not know what to say to either of them maybe they had an explanation on why they were looking for her. She thought she pushed them away of how she thought of herself and always be alone. "Long time, no see." She had a feeling that her friends wanted to punch her or something like that.

Syuki and Nero stopped when Mikoto dropped from a tree and stood infront of them. Syuki smiled, happy to see Mikoto. "Mikoto! How have you been?" Syuki asked, tempted to hug her. Kashi the ferret seemed happy to see Mikoto as well from the way he was chattering. Nero smiled in greeting. "Yo. Has been a while. Thought the forest ate you up and wouldn't give you back." Nero said jokingly. Everyone did always say that Nero had Kakashi's smile and you could say they were right. Nero had put his hands in his pockets as they stood there.

"I am doing okay, so what up?" She hug Syuki as her crow nudge Kashi in a buddy like way. "Nero, I still think you are screw from being kidnap from that hot chick." She must have gotten her personality from a little bit from Sasuke or she was in the mood to flirt with him. She gave one of her rare smiles, she may mostly look like Karin but had Sasuke's smile. It was a surprise that someone really did cared for her and was dear to them. Her smile wilted as deep inside of her soul she felt it was crying. She stop hugging Syuki and cross her arms under her breasts. She was not really in the mood to show her pain in front of the twins or her friends as she put up a cold act.

Syuki was glad she was able to get a hug from Mikoto. The ferret sniffed the crow and nudged him back in return as he purred. "Which hot chick? There were so many, but none of them peeked my interest. I think I am still sane." Nero told her as his smile grew a bit more. "Sometime we will need to go some roman However we have a situation." The older twin said. "There was another reason we are here. We have a mission." Syuki finished, smiling happily. They hadn't been together in what seemed like a long time. It was surprising and Syuki thought that it was good to get them back out there and together again.

"So what is the mission and this serious situation? We can catch up on good times later after this mission." To her one day both of the twins would find love but they would still be close to each other. The crow flew back on Mikoto, she guess she did not smell to bad from living in the forest all this time. It must be a high rank mission if they needed her help. She was in, no matter what she was feeling at the moment. To her this was going to be intrest to see how much stronger they have gotten since she was gone. She rather fight them but will see them in action during this mission. To her they can explain on the way to their destination.

Nero turned to walk as Syuki walked beside Mikoto. "We actually dont know yet. The Hokage just asked that we get the team together and meet back at there for our assignment. But no matter we are just glad we found you." The younger twin told her. Nero had been walking infront of them as he let the girls talk. With his hands in his pockets, he was the only male within the group but that never bothered him anymore. He was rather okay with it. Nero had wondered how much stronger Mikoto over span of the team being separate. Guess this mission would show the twins how much better Mikoto has gotten.

"This is going to be interesting, I am not sure if I am glad to be found. I still feel like I still don't belong in the Village of Hidden Leaves." She continue to walk as sh lace a hand on her back of her short dress. Her curse mark was cover up but she could feel it burn in that spot. She let her red hair cover her eyes, "I guess the pain is still not gone from my soul. Sorry for trying to push you guys away from me." Mikoto was thinking it was not a good time to bring up bad memories right now, as they walked into the village she pulled up her hood as she did not want anyone else to see her face. Everyone said she left as a demon of ell that should never come back.

Nero glanced his gaze to Mikoto. She didnt need to apologize. They did miss her but he understand that she needed some space. "It's alright. We understand that you were going through a hard time and needed space." Syuki said. Nero nodded in agreement. "We think you still belong here. If other don't then they can suck it up and move on." Nero told Mikoto. "You're our friend and comrade. Okay?"

"Thanks for understand," she pulled her good down as her friends made her better than ever at the moment. "Is the Hokage waiting for us to show up or he wondering around the village again?" They got her spirits up and pump for the mission they were going on. To her the village has not change one bit to her there were repairs but to her it was the same. She was wondering if her mom was around to see her after this mission, she just took off with out saying good bye to anyone. "Also, I have to say thanks for having my back." To her she have their backs in any situation on what happens during this situation and the rest of the time she spends time with them.
