Family Reunion.

It had been quite a while since the attack that resulted in the lost of the twins home and separation from their loved ones. Though the twins parents, cousin, and best friend could very much be dead, the two held onto the hope that they were alive - especially Mika. It was the reason Rika and her older sister had traversed through the lands, the girls knowing that their relatives and friend had probably fled as far away from Iwagakure as possible in their panic. They left word that there were two girls by the names of Hiyatsu and Dantsu searching for four people in the hopes that it would reach the ear of someone close to them for their loved ones knew of their nickname, but they have had no such luck.

Rika didn’t know how many minor countries they had visited since the destruction of Iwagakure at the hands of the Bijuu, an event still fresh in her mind, but it had to be a lot if the managed to end up in Kumogakure. It was her first time within the village and by extension Mika’s, but she didn’t allow a look of awe to dawn her face unlike her older sister. She was too concerned with finding a place for the two to stay before they began the process of asking street vendors, store owners, and even the Kage herself for information. Someone, somewhere, must’ve spotted somebody and Rika was, personally, hoping Kumogakure would end up being the big break the twins needed.

So, she kept an eye out for her parents, Mei, and Renee.

It was a nice, sunny day within the region known to the world as Lightning Country. The journey to find their loved ones had led Mika and Rika to the village comprised of multiple mountains - Kumogakure. Navigating the village was hard for the twins due to the sheer amount of mountains the residents inhabited and so it was proving very difficult to find a place to stay whilst they searched the place for their loved ones, or at least see if anyone had seen them, but Mika thought the place nice. It was her first time in a major village that wasn’t Iwagakure, the girls having spent the last two months or so traveling through the minor nations on their way to Kirigakure.

Though she was looking at everything with an excited look on her face, Mika was keeping an eye out for at least one person they were searching for. It was rare that someone ran into the one they were looking for, but it didn’t hurt to keep an eye out. She may end up lucky.

The sun had began to shine through Mei's window and right onto her eyelids. Being the child she was, the girl rolled towards the light instead of away from it. This resulted in the mute child's body rolling over only to hit the floor. Her small fist would hit the floor softly. 'The other way Mei... the other.. way,' she would think to herself with no voice in particular taking a form in her head. The child had never once heard her own voice, so all of her thoughts were simply plain words with no sounding voice. All the words in her head simply sounded like wind passing by her ears. Many people think of their thoughts in their own voice but Mei didn't know what hers would sound like. So, that ruled that out.

Anyway, after that little incident Mei pulled herself up and got cleaned. She threw on a pink T-shirt, black shorts, and pink sandals. Her hair was kept down and her forehead protector would be placed atop her head to hold back her hair from her face. The child didn't necessarily have any sort of shining work to do today she simply liked wearing the thing. After placing a small notebook and pencil in her pocket, Mei set out to adventure. As the child opened her door, she would look to the plastic covering her walls. The hole had been made quite a little while ago but she had never had time to fix it nor did she want to ask anyone else to do it. The girl would look at it annoyed and then leave closing the door behind her.

Mei would find herself roaming the village. People were walking the streets, shops were full, and everything seemed peaceful. At least, until Mei accidentally bumped into someone and was sent tumbling into a trash can, which happened to be occupied by a cat. Out of panic, the animal would claw Mei at a slanted direction across the chin. The girl would hold her chin in pain and squirm around until the trash can fell over. At this point, the cat would run out with the mute child not to far behind. A bit of blood dripped from the child's chin as she chased the small creature. However, the cat would turn a corner catching the child off guard. She would stumble and fall to the ground In plain sight for everyone to see.

Rika looked like she had seen a ghost the moment she halted her advance down one of many streets Kumogakure boasted. It looked like Mei, or someone resembling Mei, had burst into their line of sight only, apparently chasing something. Albeit, the chase was short-lived since the brunette to the ground in a fashion reminiscent of the twin’s dear cousin. She didn’t want to immediately jump to conclusions, the blonde fully aware of the old saying that stated there were at least three of you in the world, but then again it was hard not to believe that the child on the ground was Mei.

She turned to ask Mika, but much to her surprise the twin clad in red, white, and gold colours was no longer by her side. Her eyes snapped back over to the brunette only to find a rather angry Mika pounding on the ground with her fist, livid that it would dare harm Mei. The way her older sister had rushed to avenge the brunette was all the proof she needed to know the brunette was Mei - her sister didn’t beat up random, unmovable objects for anyone.

It was at this time the serious look she wore upon her face melted. Her eyes watered, her face scrunched up, and she ran towards her cousin with open arms. By this time, Mika would be helping Mei up if the girl hadn’t immediately jumped on her feet. Either way, the brunette would find herself right back on the ground, except on her behind, Rika having tackled her cousin.

"Mei!"

Would be the only warning the brunette received.

Mika didn’t need to wait for confirmation that the girl that had fallen mere feet from her sister and herself, in clear view of everyone may she add, was the brunette the duo had been searching for since they left that elderly couple’s home. So, her protective nature immediately took over and instead of chasing after the cat or blaming Mei’s clumsiness, she rushed over to the brunette’s side and proceeded to pound on the ground with her fist.

“Bad! Bad! Bad!”

She shouted, causing more people to stare at the spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Some seemed nervous others concerned, but Mika didn’t notice since she was busy punishing the ground for injuring her dear cousin. Once she believed the ground learned its lesson, she turned her attentions to helping her cousin up if she was still on the ground or greeting the brunette. Of course, that would be cut short by her twin, Rika knocking the brunette right back on the ground with her tackle.

“You should let Mei stand, Rika. And stop crying, you’re suppose to be happy!”

For a moment, the child would simply lay on the ground in a confused state. Then, she would slowly return to normal state and sigh. What a clumsy girl she was. Then again, it wasn't all her fault. 'That stupid cat!' she would think inside her head with a great deal of intensity. The voice inside her head had never once changed volume and she had wondered before if anyone else took notice of that. Mei assumed everyone could change the level of intensity of the voice in their head but never the volume. Then again, it was just an assumption, so she didn't know it that was exactly true.

Anyway, the brunette would start to move a bit until she heard a pounding sound beside her and a familiar voice. Her small head would turn to see a blonde she knew oh so well. Pink eyes would light up with joy as she looked at the girl. In all honesty, Mei hadn't even noticed that pounding the ground wasn't exactly a normal thing, since Mika seemed to do silly things like such quite a bit. Nobody had ever told her it wasn't very normal and even if they did, I'm sure none of the three would care.

After a moment, the blonde would try to help Mei to her feet. However, this was very short lived, since Rika had decided to tackle the poor mute girl back onto the ground. Of course, Mei didn't mind one bit. She was so happy to see her cousins again. She was so happy they were alive. She was so happy that she still had something she loved. She was just so happy. Along with Rika, Mei would begin to cry tears of joy, although Mika didn't quite understand this. The brunette would hug the blonde that had tackled her. She didn't want to let go in fear that the twins would be ripped away from her again. Eventually though, she would.

Rika didn’t know how long she hugged Mei or sobbed, but she knew it couldn’t have been for very long. Though overjoyed by the sudden and unexpected reunion with her cousin, she was still fully aware of the thinning crowd’s presence. It seemed like they had dubbed the twins as non threats and thus no need to watch the trio made of Terumi any longer. They meant no harm, that was clear to anyone with a brain and so the crowd continued with their day, though the girls would receive the occasional curious glance as people walked by.

The younger blonde unlatched herself from Mei, taking a moment to compose herself upon getting on her feet. It would be Mika that offered her hand to the brunette, the older blonde always ready to help Mei up. With the tears wiped from her face, she turned her attention back to her cousin. She wondered how the brunette had been doing since they were separated, but she ended up beat to the punch by Mika.

She could tell, despite the lack of tears, that Mika was also happy to see Mei and so it was no surprise to her that the older twin was ready to bombard their cousin with a hundred questions. It was normal, but Rika would interject.

“Wait until we’re not in the middle of the street to ask her questions, Mika.”

She said, eyes on her twin. She grinned and stared at Mei before signing.

“You know of a place where we can catch up in private, Mei?”

Mika would be next to hug Mei, though the embrace was brief for she had hundreds of questions she wished to ask her dear cousin. Most of the questions were in regards to her health, the blonde of the same age worried that the brunette hadn’t been eating well though she didn’t look different physically. Others pertained to information regarding the brunette’s parents and her own, the blonde hopeful that Mei fled with her family and maybe even her aunt and uncle - Mika’s and Rika’s parents. Lastly, she wondered if she had seen Renee. Yet, such questions would need to wait since Rika had so kindly interrupted her.

She flashed a scowl at her sister, expressing her displeasure of having to wait to drown Mei in questions, but a smile replaced that the moment she turned her attention back to Mei. Since Rika had suggested it, Mika knew the girl was probably asking Mei if there was a place they could catch up at in private. She had a desire to childishly exclaim that Mei was mute, not deaf, but she refrained from doing so. She knew it was out of habit and Rika was probably testing out how rusty she may have gotten since Iwagakure.

Either way, Mika would throw her suggestion in after Rika was done signing.

“Like a place where we can get sandwiches, I’m starving."
