The green doors with red signs were amazing to be seen, something she would never think of seeing that big either. Now that she had time to absorb the size of it all. “How many man… would it cost to actually close that door… or open for that matter..” It was heavy to see… yet there were marks on the ground that indicated it had been used to open and close quite a bit. “Hmm…” she would start to make her way to the small house beside on the inside, the guard had called her. “Do not go too far over the outside… Otherwise, we need to stop you! A young child.” The guard would say and she took the lemonade she was getting of him. Slowly she nodded and would kick her feet on the chair, on which she couldn’t reach the ground. “So you do here important work…” She said and would tilt her head.
They had a small talk for a little while and then slowly it would start to get evening and she said she needed to get home. She knew enough for now and started to make a report back at home. She was sitting in the library part as she wrote further.
Later that night.
Some more shifting to the right… shifting towards the left… The girl couldn’t sleep well as many thoughts were dwelling her. Slowly she would sit up and Hatter materialized in front of her in his own pajamas. “This… ain’t a sleepover hatter.” “I know that very well m’lady.” She started to stretch out a little… and made up her mind already. “Hatter… we need to be silent, they do not need to hear anything about this as we have to be sneaky. This means no single sound or knocking stuff over… Alright? I am serious about this…” The contract would look quasi hurt but was soon smiling further again and nodding. “Alright if you say so m’lady… Let’s do that then.” And with that she would slowly get dressed and walk through the room, being very careful to dodge that single floorboard that would always leave a creak through the place. She moved the candle on her desk so that from below the door you wouldn’t see that the candle would be lit either. With a snap-in her fingers the candle was lit and she was replacing it slightly so she had a clear view on her desk. A hand went under her cheek as she looked towards the white papers. “It is now or never…” She muttered and with a single motion, she picked up the feather and dipped it in the ink. She wanted to make this personal towards them all… Yet had no clear idea of how this was supposed to be done. 'Alright. This is a bit harder then I thought…’ ’Do you need some help with that then..?’ ’maybe yes..’. And like that together they started to form a set of letters that they were going to leave behind.
An hour or two later she placed the feather down, there was a bit of paper beside her in a pile and in front of her desk a few in a neat envelope. ‘Cramps!!’ ’In the past… we didn’t had it any different…’</COLOR><i></i> ’T-thanks for that information…’ Hatter started to float a little above the letters and pointing them out. ”So… Now is the question how will you deliver them?” ’Well… I do not wish to wake them up as I do this… So I will just go all over the place. My parents will be easy yet tricky. Dodge the creaking floorboards, then place them under the door so that when they wake up they will find it. For sis, I will port in her room with Kamui… Then place it on a table for her to find. I have to be careful not to wake her either… For Yukio, I think I will leave it in the bar. Trying to make it fancy with a glass under it or something… For Uncle and auntie… I think I will need to leave it at their house as they went away on a mission or some sorts… I have no idea, but I know they are out of the village. I haven’t seen them for a while now… We will go everywhere and nowhere Hatter… So let’s get going before it is morning already.’ With that, they both would nod and place all the letters that they had for everyone.
Letter, Takeshi, and Yuki. | Letter Asuka |
|---|---|
| ‘Dear mom and dad, [lb2][/lb2] By the time you read this letter, I already hope to be out of Fire country. I have chosen this myself, to get out. Please do not worry about me as I make this journey. [lb2][/lb2] There is something I always wondered about myself as if I am missing a part. It is in reach but so far away… I cannot seem to find it here. I gave it many, many thoughts that even in the pile of workpaper that I had fallen asleep. I cannot take it anymore either. The grown-ups think I am strange and have a Ph.D. or something, I noticed this the other day talking to someone. For now… I want to be a bit child, maybe a stubborn one that ran from home. But… I want to know things more about myself as even my memories have gaps, yet at the same time, I have things that are like Deja Vu. [lb2][/lb2] I promise I will get back sometimes, I promise I will keep sending letters of places that I am, to show that I am doing well. I know the consequences of my actions with this. I won’t fight anyone. [lb2][/lb2] Trust me as I say this, mom and dad. I will be fine on this journey, you both raised me to be strong. That this life was given to me because I am strong. I will be back, you just wait. [lb2][/lb2] ~ Your daughter, [lb][/lb] Kotori’ | ‘Hey Sister, [lb2][/lb2] By the time you read this, I will be outside of leaf or trapped somewhere… Namely the dungeon. I hope you are doing well, after our last time on the academy. For this letter, I placed a part of my necklaces in the envelope. This as a promise that I will get back to you. Only thing asking you is to trust me that I will be fine, I am strong and I even had to teach you things. Remember back in tea stargazing? Just lookup for the brightest star, knowing that I am following it. [lb2][/lb2] I need some time off from the village, from the comfort zone I always have been in. I need some time to find myself again and who I am again, what may be even. I am sorry I couldn’t tell you, dad, mom or even brother and auntie and uncle that I am going out of the village. It is already hard and I know you would just lock me up, either in my bedroom or somewhere else for having this idea alone. But know that I made this discussion a while ago, back when the kids went away too. [lb2][/lb2] I won’t fight anyone if someone does go after me. All I wish for you guys to be well. And I will be sending you both letters. [lb2][/lb2] I will be back sis, [lb][/lb] ~ Your “big” sis Kotori.’ |

Letter Yukio | Maki and Kimi |
|---|---|
| ‘Dear brother, mentor, and sennin. [lb2][/lb2] There ain’t an easy way of telling you this and I already know the consequences.. I went away from leaving on a mission of my own. One… that didn’t get any approval but I am going for it to try it out too. Yet I want you to know I do this in order to find myself as it is hard… hard as a child to keep thinking like adults… Even adults think I am strange… I learned this the other day when I was thinking of the gates. [lb2][/lb2] If you do send someone, please don't worry that I will fight… I won’t fight anyone wearing a leaf headband or mark. I just wish to get time, time for myself to find answers and have a small adventure. [lb2][/lb2] I will be back, just not knowing when. [lb2][/lb2] ~ Kotori’ | Uncle, auntie. [lb2][/lb2] I am away on an adventure… You just wait till I get back for that rematch uncle!I will beat you booty one time! [lb][/lb] Auntie! That tea-time is on me next time. I am sorry that I left like this… But I wanted some time and away from familiar places. [lb2][/lb2] ~ Kotori |

With a small huff, she placed the last letter by her uncle's house and she looked up for a moment. “That way..” She said and would make further way again. A sniffle left her as she started to walk faster and faster away. “I am behaving like an idiot… It ain’t goodbye, just a see you later!” She scolded herself under her breath and hatter just watched her, it was troubling him to see her in this state as a child. ’I am running from everyone and everything now… My home, the people I know, my own headband…’
One step more and she was standing in front of the gate. The looked towards the horizon and saw it was already getting lighter in the sky. ’We don’t have much time anymore now…I hope everyone is still asleep right now.’
One step was made futher and Hatter was getting beside her. Are you sure you are ready for this?’ ’“I am sure about this Hatter… I cannot bear it… I don’t want it this way anymore. Besides… something is missing, a part of me, yet I know I cannot find it here., just do me one favor… Do not walk in front, I won’t lead… Don’t walk behind of I won’t lead… just… stay beside me and be a friend... ’
Hatter would nod towards her and smile, she was sure she wanted this.’Well then M’lady, let us go.’
One last glance was given back and tears filled back into her eyes. “Pfu… I shouldn’t be looking back…” She sniffled and would run through the gates, attempting to go missing. "Just, please... let me go... as I want to have fun."
