May the Chibi be with you.

"No, no...." Naka smiled at her warmly and wrapped her arms around her in an equally warm hug. "The heart is as confusing as a boy, but know this: love is unexplainable but it is a way of nature, and we must follow its course. Yes, it might hurt you, but never give up searching because there will always be someone that truly loves you." She smiled and kissed Midori's cheek.

Midori looked at Naka for a while, the kiss tot he cheek was rather unexpected but strangely welcome as the woman smiled, looking at her calmly,
"Thank you, Naka. I hope one day that if I have a daughter, she is as sweet as you are," the woman place her arm around the younger being, or at least what she believed was younger, and smiled,
"I certainly haven't given up on having a family.. I just.. Cant find some-one like that man, but I suppose he was a unique instance, a look at beauty that can only be seen once in a life time. Perhaps I will look for a normal husband.." She sighed, smiling to herself,
"One who doesn't judge me as needing help, accepts me for what I have striven to become, there's more than enough of me to enjoy and provide where I have to.. I cant go on forever being a single woman. I want to live long enough to have a family and raise a child, I could die peacefully then, knowing there will be some-one to carry on my legacy."

Naka nodded and rested her head against Midori's shoulder. "I have a very big family...having kids can be distressing, but very worthwhile if raised straight. I guess I just really love kids." She laughed. "Anyway, time will show...a pair of soulmates will meet at least twice in a lifetime...so keep an eye out for him."

"If that was true he would not have left me his sword as a memento.." Midori shook her head, "I do not think I will ever see him again. Even if I did I could not raise a stable family with him, as a nukenin he would be hunted and killed and I may even fall under the scope of those who come for him.. A life with him would have been one of travel.. Perhaps passion and lust.. but family.. no.." She shook her head again,
"I need to find someone else, but none will ever have my heart as he could have had.."

She stared at Naka after this thought,
"I think perhaps that is what my thought on the matter of your own troubles stemmed from. One you wished you could have, but the other would be more suited to take care of you now."

"Yeah... Aiden is the type one could go to after a long day, and just relax with him... Kaji's as predictable as the weather," she said, sighing. "Yet I love them. Anyway, don't stop searching! You'll find love someday, I know it."

Midori used her one arm to adjust her clothes slightly before turning her attention to Naka again,
"Well, I think I've rested enough, shall we go see my sister?" She asked, though placed her hand on Naka's shoulder, "You wont tell anyone about myself and the Nukenin, will you?" She asked with a concerned look on her face, she was not ashamed of it but knew the trouble it could cause if it came out.

Naka smiled and nodded. "Your secret is safe with me. But...there is this thing...ah.. Aiden-Danna knows everything that I know, so... He knows too, I guess, but he's a nice guy and I know he'll keep his yap shut."

"I should hope so, Naka." Midori smirked, nudging her softly with her elbow, "I'd hate to have to hunt you and him down for telling my secret to some-one else." She joked, sticking her tongue out softly and pushing herself off the bench, offering her hand to Naka again,
"You're the first person I've felt safe telling about that, plus I owed you for telling me your troubles as well."

"Meh. Danna says it's because I have that aura that just makes me feel harmless." She smiled and took Midori's hand. "I'm not sure if Sakura's there or training with Tsunade, but I guess we should check."

"Well so long as we check one place we'll know where she's not, either there or with Lady Tsunade, in which case we go to see her instead, simple location tracking," Midori helped her to her feet and began walking along the path again,
"You know I may actually enjoy raising a group of genin too, now that I think about it."

"Ooh, you mean make a team? That'd be so cool, you'd be able to go on missions with people and stuff," she said dreamily.

"Well missions I've already done, I'd enjoy seeing what the new generation has to offer. Hell I'd even more happily accept genin who have difficulties just so I can teach then to surpass their flaws." She smiled, looking aside to Naka,
"Do you enjoy helping people, Naka?"

Naka grinned and nodded. "Of course I do! I like making people smile and laugh, and be happy. It feels good knowing that you are good for something, not just an annoying, talkative, hyperactive, optimistic little brat..." she said, her voice shrinking towards the end.

"A brat..?" Midori asked, tilting her head with a disbelieving face, "Why would anyone call you a brat? I certainly don't see it." She strightened herself a little and looked down at her more directly,
"Brats don't help people, make them feel good or get them to smile."

"That's what I'm doing. I'm trying not to be a brat. And instead, I wanna be someone useful to the world...and I guess, I already am." She smiled, beaming like the sun. "I am Aiden-Danna's tool."

"Well congratulations." She chuckled at Naka for a moment, "I think you're succeeding very nicely." She complimented, closing her eye and nodding at the girl, "Keep up the good work."

Naka blushed and nodded at the compliment. "Well, I just recently passed my Genin Exams, so it'll be a while for me to get used to being in this form. I'm not very good on the battle field either," she said, sighing sadly.
