Going Missing Who loves me?

[Ryuu Sumika]

There was no sugar coating it, life had given her a crappy hand. And when she thought it couldn't get worse she was thrown in to socialising with those who she found... complicated, and even when she thought she had began to make some sort of progress in her own way. Things were brought to a sudden halt by that fateful day... was she too weak? Without Shinsetsu... perhaps she would have died. She was soft. With a lack of mentors, with all of them that she's spoken to she finds uninteresting or inconsequential. Her own mother... abandoned her again. In one way or another, the part that came down to it was that she wasn't here. She was living another life, doing whatever she was doing.

In all honesty the young Ryuu had no clue, nor did she even care anymore. She wanted strength, not to be continuously saved by those she deemed inferior. Whether it came down to misguidance or a lack of guidance she finds herself at the very gates. Rocking a new style which she attained a couple days ago, she'd appear almost unrecognisable to those who knew her before, her hair wasn't hers. She'd take back control for now with the use of dye, and even though she was underage she decided that piercings were gonna be the way she screamed rebellion. She had nothing to prove to anyone here, only something to herself. That something had little place stuck behind these large walls.

Moving as swift as possible she would dash through the dark night, blending with the shadows, her own training with slinking in to the darkness coming in to fruition now as she snuck past the guard not uttering a singular word as she attempted to make her escape. Alone and unknown.

"Sumika, wait!"

Shinsetsu shouted as he watched the girl heading for the gates, a surprised, disbelieving look on her face. He'd only been walking by, bow slung over his shoulders as he returned from the woods, and he hadn't even been sure it was really her at first. He wasn't going to let her go without at least talking to her first.

"I know... you're not happy here.... but... can you just hear me out first?"

[Caught, but not stopped]

 

[Ryuu Sumika]

Without questioning it she would spin round and realise what things had come to she wasn't about to hear him out without something to prove first. Sumika would see Shinsetsu her so called saviour and only really have one thing to respond with after things that had happened, it was time.

[Shinsetsu]

Shinsetsu reached carefully for his weapon, slipping the great bow off his back and letting it drop to the ground, doing likewise with his quiver of arrows. Not wanting to antagonise her, he raised his hands to show her they were empty, and remained where he stood, not daring to approach. The black-haired boy was ever-ready, and carefully analysing every situation for the next best move, which was why it was surprising that there was a noticeable absence of his Sharingan. Clearly, he was approaching this was total pacifism in mind.

"Sumika, I won't stop you, okay? Feel free to just ignore me, turn around, and walk out those gates..."

Shinsetsu took a single step closer, maintaining firm eye contact with his former classmate, "I'm a medic at heart, not a fighter; I know I haven't got a hope in hell against you, and I'm not dumb enough to try... We both know I pose no threat."

This was hard to do. Sure, he'd never exactly been bosom-friends with Sumika, but still, he was rather impressed by her on the whole, and her dismissive attitude only made her all the more intriguing from a psychological point of view, but he supposed, it must've been a symptom of a greater problem.

"I know... I know from what you said, that day, in the library; you refuse to be a Shinobi. I think... I know what you meant by that now. At least, I think you do. You've been unhappy for a long time, I get it... you don't feel like you fit in here. I feel the same way, I really don't belong here either! I feel like I'm constantly disappointing my friends, my dads, hell... I've never told anyone this, but.... I am pretty sure I accidentally murdered my sister when we were kids."

He gulped. That was something he thought he'd take to his grave; the guilt of having suffocated his sister while attempting to provide her first aid was still eating him alive on a daily basis.

"But whatever's out there, whoever's waiting for you out there, do you really think it'll be better? Do you really think they'll care for you anymore than... any more than I do?"

The student's face flushed red and his eyes hit the ground, unsure of what he was trying to say here.

"Just... promise me you won't come back."

With a defeated look on his face, he turned his back on her, gathered his weapons, and headed back into the village.

There was a lot said, and a lot she really didn't have time to listen to... yet she would. It seemed he really didn't want to fight as she was preparing handseals ready to blast him with everything she had. He... talked.... She couldn't quite explain it but there were only a few times in her life that she felt that she could remember the feeling of being wanted. Although she couldn't exactly find the words for what to say. With a simple nod she acknowledged what he had said, and... well... if he wouldn't stop her. Then she had no more business here. "Alright... Shinsetsu."

Skulking in to the distance, with water in her eyes, she'd make her escape and begin her new life, not as a shinobi, nor a Ryuu, but as Sumika.
