The Gold Of Cracked Porcelain.

There's a Japanese legend where if two star-crossed lovers commit dual suicide, they are reincarnated as twins. But between the two of us, I'm the only one who remembers about my past life for some reason. You didn't know how surprised I was when a certain part of me was gone... Not just being reborn in a twisted world where we could die whenever, we born in a war (not exactly a war, but you know what I mean.), and I'm a girl now. This is truly the worse punishment that I've ever get.

In Japan,

broken objects are often repaired with gold.

The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object's history.

Which adds to its beauty.

I watched a single baby blue coloured butterfly flew away.

Children's happy incoherent noises can be heard a little further than me. Swing's slow creaking sounds which signify that the swing was just being used, and sometimes birds are chirping in the background, were the only thing that kept me a company for now.

It's been forever since I managed to crack a happy smile like that. If only I knew that my past selfish action would only lead me into emptiness, maybe I would lend her my strength.

I screwed in past life, and I screwed up AGAIN in this new life of mine.

I failed as Alfred Jafrebert.

I failed as Yuki Nachi.

But I learnt from my mistakes. I'm not going to kneel on the ground, punch it, and cry hysterically about how unfair life is.

I feel empty.

From the tip of my fingers to my entire body.

I'm numb to every kind of emotions.

I admit that I was nothing but pathetic.

I tried to fight back, but it's not enough.

This is how I cope with my misfortune.

"Mom?"

I felt a light tug on my the lower part of my pure white kimono. Tiredly, I looked down and find a little ray of sunshine that has been following me around like a lost puppy.

And now he's starting to call me his mom.

It's not like I'm complaining tho.

"Yes, nat-chan?"

Crouching down to his eye level, he stared at me shyly before turning his head to glance at his back. Both of his hands were hidden behind his back.

I hissed at my stupidity, feeling bad that I use this little yellow furball as my sister's replacement.

But like I said, this is how I cope.

I swear that I'll stop soon. I also didn't like to be used as a substitute.

"You looked so sad..."

and soulless.

It's okay, I know that you trailed your words because you wanted to said that. I'm not going to be angry or distance. Even though that for some reason, people start calling me Yukki-onna.

Just because I wore a white plain kimono every day, dark blue coloured eyes, and has an opalescent blonde hair coloured.

Well, my cold personality and lack of talking also become a reason.

"What? No dear, I was just thinking."

"..."

"I'm not going anywhere yet. Not if you're not around."

He smiled brightly at my words. Slowly, he pulled his hand from his back and showed me a single small Ashoka blossom.

"Where did you get that?"

I never found that kind of flower around here before, Heck can it even grew in here?

"Puss give it to me." he turned around and look at the black cat which was lazying around at the biggest and strongest branch in a tree. Unlike normal cats, puss was quite easy to be spotted, since his fur was fluffy and puffy. Puss stared into my eyes, a signature Cheshire like-smirk on its cat's face.

"Don't trust that devil too much okay Nat-chan?"

Naruto giggled at me as I accept the flower.

"Let's find Yamanaka-san, I'm worried if puss stole it from them." I take naruto's hand and envelope it entirely in my hand before turned around to look at Puss.

"Puss, you coming?"

I tilted my chin as an invitation. We started walking together as Puss jump-off the branch and walked after us.

That smile reminds me too much to my dear sister.

She's not just a sister.

she's half of my soul.

Even though my brain keeps on telling me that I'll have to stop clinging to the past and move on. Sometimes, I'm scared that I'll fully forget about her.

Fun fact: Ashoka's flower derived from Sanskrit and means free from sadness.

(Soka means sad, A mean without.)

Another fun fact, actually I didn't know that Ashoka blossom can bloom in Japan or not. So, meh hahaha.

Greetings fellow fans! I'm new to this place. I'm still learning how to arrange words, sentence, and a bunch!

So, I'm sorry if I'm not as good as the other writers hehe. But worry not, I'll do my best and learn from the best.

And I decide to make a fanfiction about naruto because this story has been haunting me every night before I go to sleep.

I finally know how to get rid of it!

Type it.

One day, I'll re-read all my story and fix it.

sorry for any mistakes, typo, and grammatical mistakes.
