Lost and Found [Jade Sato]

[hinatafanboy19]

Jade has always been there for her cousin and will be there until she takes her last breath. It has been like that for years and the many years yet to come for she will be there. Day and night whenever somebody she cares about needs her then she will be there to make them pay. Thanks to her training with Sakura she will make sure to not let her new found strength thanks to chakra go to waste. "I bet she will be bawling her eyes out after not seeing you for years." she reassured him with a smile. Jade kept swinging back and forth that was until the mention of Vayne mother came into her mind. Stopping she looked down at the ground and thought hard and long about how his mother has been since he has been gone. "After you were kidnapped she went into a depression state. Even become slightly suicidal but she never gave up on you. Eventually it became too much and she decided instead of waiting around she will find you herself. That was the last thing I heard or saw her again." Jade admitted thinking back how hard it was for Vayne mother back then.

"Yeah probably so knowing her. It'll be something to look forward to when I am myself again." He replied with a weak smile on his face. He wanted to believe her but doubt filled his heart. If she saw him as he was now she would probably reject him claiming he was an imposter. He couldn't face rejection like that and neither could Vayne. He noticed Jade had become unusually quiet and looking to her found her in deep thought. When it seemed she was ready to speak again he looked away as she began. He wasn't sure how to respond to that at all. Depression he could understand but suicidal left him completely shocked. He knew she loved him a lot he was her only child she'd been able to conceive after all. A blessing and an angel she had called him. She hadn't been too thrilled about him becoming a shinobi and putting his life out on the line for others but she had given in feeling he could make his own decisions. Then the unthinkable happened and he knew she would freak out but not that much. "I miss her. I hope she comes back soon." Azal replied with a deep sigh a sad look on his face now. He wanted to just hold her and show her everything was okay. To give her closure and more importantly closure to him but he couldn't until he was back to his normal self. "Enough sadness now. Let's go do something fun and exciting cousin." He would say suddenly trying to change the subject and get his mind onto something else now.

Jade was curious as to how long it will honestly take until her cousin was finally herself again. She missed that boy that used to look up to her and that boy that beat her in the Chunin Exams. One day when her cousin is back they will test each other strength with a rematch. It should be one hell of a fight and one that she was looking forward to until it comes. Her face lit up as Azal or Vayne or whoever this was suggested they do something fun so she jumped up and grabbed her cousin hand. "You bet~ How about we relive some memories and sneak into the academy? The teachers has a couple days off but I left a window cracked in case I needed to get in for some reason." she suggested with a grin.

[vaynesato]

Azal had always looked up to Jade despite the times he seemed to resent her for showing up. She was smart and always been stronger than him for awhile. It wasn't until the Chunin Exams that he had finally surpassed her and beaten. Such a joyous day for him but he had still looked up to her like the sister he never had. Someone he could confide in on certain he didn't wish to involve his mother in. Defeating her had only brought them together more as cousins creating a bond that would last forever until severed with death coming to one of them whenever that might be. The thought excited him and looking towards fighting her again he would see how much she had grown since he was pass. Who was to say who would win that spar between blood then. "Some things will never with you. How do you expect to ever get a boyfriend being so childish." He would reply sticking his tongue out at her now. Then he took off running towards the academy now running along the side of the building now. Then finding the forementioned window he slipped inside freezing when he realized what room he was in as a memory flashed before his eyes. It was the last time he had seen Jade before she graduated the academy. He had been so sad she was gone despite claiming to hate her for showing off a few days before. He would smile at the memory it was one of his most treasured memories the day he had formed his nindo to become the strongest Sato in history and surpass all who had come before him.

Jade wasn't that concern with getting a boyfriend anytime soon not since that man that saved her. This was the first time in a long while that she has ever thought about him since that mission to Sungakure. It just brought a kind of regret to her life that she missed her chance of finding true love with him. Even if he was just a citizen he has touched her heart for a lifetime. Snapping back to reality as her cousin was already gone in search of the cracked window. Following suite as she climbed through the window as she found the shinobi in a certain familiar room. "You remember this room don't you? Life back then just seemed so easy though nothing is that simple anymore." she stated as she walked around and glanced out the window to see young academy students playing ninja outside. They are lucky being young and the only worry they really have is what to eat for lunch. Jade finally sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest now looking back towards the other shinobi.

[vaynesato]

"Best days of my life to be honest cousin. Everyday was new and exciting to me. So carefree so naive to the true world and it's workings. All that mattered was becoming a shinobi and surpassing you." Azal would reply now running a hand through his hair. He'd smile as he reminisced about it all placing a hand on one of her shoulders now rubbing it gently now. How they had grown up since then. Jade a fine young beautiful woman now. Being an adult he was sure her mother was pressuring her to find a nice good looking man now. Knowing her she would want someone simple and plain. He wouldn't have to be good looking since she wasn't so superficial from what he could remember about her previous dating attempts. If anything he shared her tastes in the girlfriend he had now. Simple plain there was nothing really special about her which was why he loved her so much. Takara was everything to him and he could only hope Jade found such a love someday of her own. He'd move to a window now watching some Genin play around as they trained with each other. "One of them will replace us someday the next will of fire." He would say with a smirk strangely he looked forward to such a fight where he would lose in the end. To prove he wasn't as invincible as he liked to believe he was.

Jade is already looking forward to her death no matter how it might happen to her. She knows the village will be in good hands and before she goes she will make sure of that. The children playing in the courtyard caught a glimpse of Jade and waved to her through the window. Putting on one of her comforting and angelic smiles she waved back as they went right back to playing ninja and training as they see fit. Her eyes shifted over to Azal as he said something about the children being the next will of fire. That was a truer statement that she has ever heard in her life. "Never have you spoken a truer statement. Do you see that one boy in the blue shirt with the village symbol on the back? Believe it or not but that is my son... or rather adopted son but he has grown on me quite a bit since I adopted him." she pointed out before smiling a little as the sun shine down onto the village hidden in the leaves.

[vaynesato]

Azal had accepted that as a shinobi he could die at anytime or place. There was no avoiding it only prolonging for as long as possible. He'd be damned before he let someone hurt Takara or his cousin Jade or anyone else in his family. He would go down fighting until his very last breath or he had completely depleted his chakra. He watched the children play some more standing next to Jade now. He simply nodded at what she said about the will of fire. You weren't a true leaf shinobi if you didn't have it or know what it was. They were the next generation the key to the village's continued future. Without them everything they knew and loved about the village would end. He would blink a bit raising a curious brow as Jade mentioned having a son or well an adopted one as he looked for the kid she mentioned now. "Is that so? Never pegged you much for the mother type least now until you were engaged to the man of your dreams. Regardless I always thought you'd make a great mother someday when you had your own kids." He would smile sheepishly running a hand through his hair now. He wasn't sure if he would ever want his own kids. He felt like a freak and he didn't want his kids to become like he was. A passing thought and soon it was gone as he looked back to the kids now mouth forming a thin line now.

[hinatafanboy19]

Jade never really thought that she would have a son at this point in her life. Though she couldn't live with herself if she didn't adopt the poor kid after he had been abandoned by his own parents nonetheless. Even now things between her and Michihiro was still a little rocky but hopefully in time that would change. Her eyes drifted over to Azal as she was starting wonder if he had met anybody special to him yet or if he would ever have any kids. She doesn't see why not as far as she knows her cousin would make a good husband and father. "His parents abandoned him and I would be doing the same thing if I just didn't adopt him poor kid had enough heartbreak in his life. How about you? Anybody special yet?" she asked with a curious brow as she looked out the window before back at her cousin.

[vaynesato]

Back when he was twelve or thirteen he could have never pictured Jade being a mother. She was always focused on training. Despite picking on him at times in order to push him he realized she always been the motherly type to younger children. Always going out of her way to help them out with whatever their problem was. Now he could picture her with a family and a husband happy as could be. A daughter who was the spitting image of her and a son who took after their father. He would be the comical uncle who dropped in from time to time with strange gifts and quirky jokes Takara at his side. He always liked to believe they'd be together forever until they grew old and died. He would look back to Jade as she spoke of why she adopted the boy before asking him if he had met someone. "You wouldn't know her personally but her name is Takara. We are dating currently. She has amnesia but I don't mind that I still love her all the same." He would reply moving to sit on the teacher's desk now. He didn't care if she couldn't remember who she was before because he loved who she was now. That was all that mattered to him now.

[hinatafanboy19]

Jade never really expressed to anybody the exact reason why she had adopted Michihiro suddenly like that. Guess it was because she didn't want it to come out as she adopted him to be nice and not because she didn't care about him. Having a son even an adopted one now gives her a more important reason to protect someone precious to her. They will get through this rough start it is just gonna take some time to get to that point. Pushing a few more loose strands of hair as her eyes followed her cousin to the teachers desk. "Takara? I heard some rumors about a girl with that name in the village that has amnesia. I wonder if Sakura knows her since she works at the hospital." she thought out loud as she sighed moving to crack a nearby window for some fresh air. Jade never was the one to believe random rumors but she had a strange feeling she heard that name somewhere before. Deciding to think about that later the Jounin kunoichi was just glad that Azal or Vayne or whoever this was had somebody precious to them.

[vaynesato]

"Yeah that'd be her then I imagine. I'm sure she would if the woman works at the hospital." Of course it wasn't hard to know who Takara was by now. She had been called in for an investigation involving some strange man named Zypher. Then again she was one of the few women in the village who possessed purple colored hair so it was hard not to notice her. Still he was glad she had been unharmed that night as the man had only threatened her it seemed. He never wanted to see her so terrified like that again he'd be damned if he let that man make her cry again. He would teach him a lesson the next time they met. He would frown at the thought he didn't like seeing her upset or sad for any reason. It really got to him and he knew it was because he loved her. Wanted to spend the rest of his life with her by his side. He just hoped recovering her memories didn't change any of that. That they would simply remain together like before though he knew they would have to readjust their relationship a bit because of it. He didn't care at this point he was willing to do anything for the girl he had grown to love with all of his heart.

[hinatafanboy19]

Jade hasn't officially introduced herself to this woman in who her cousin is involved with. She seen her around the village a few times but nothing like going up to actually talk to her. Something about this Takara gives her a bad feeling and she has learn to trust her feelings. Guess she will giver her a chance since she is dating her cousin and all but she will keep her eye on him. Jade had a quick glance over at her cousin and noticed a sign of being upset for a reason unknown to her. His face told it all that he was more than dating her he actually loves her. Jade was glad to see that this woman was a good influence on her cousin and wishes them the best. "You must really be in love with her and that look on your face says it all. Her recovering her memories shouldn't chance things that much." she tried to reassure him but at the same time she knew Takara had a sinister past she just don't know what that is yet.
