"I am going away for a while, but I'll be back so please don't follow me. I'll return as soon as possible.
You see, I'm trying to find my place; though it might not be here where I feel safe, where I feel welcome.
We all learn to make mistakes, we learn from them too.
I run from my fears with no direction, no conviction.
I'm like a ghost. Traveling endlessly. I don't need a road, for they follow me everywhere.
I feel like I'm going in circles. It seems pain is just a part of life that we need in order to get the good things.
You and I, We're not useless. We're just Misguided Ghosts, traveling wherever our mind or hearts take us.
I'll write to you as often as I can.
With love that will never fade,
Rin"
Daemon read through the note mentally for the 5th time in an hour. It had been almost three weeks and still no letter. Maybe she had not reached her destination yet. he thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the thought with a new one. This is Rin we're talking about. She has no destination. She'll wander aimlessly with Axel until she finds a place she likes. Once there she stays. Well, at least for a while. The thought worried him. The thought of her and Axel wandering aimlessly through the desert around Sunagakure. It's a dangerous desert. At least she had Axel, and Axel could put up one heck of a fight for a horse. His thoughts went the the huge black stallion that Rin had found as a baby wandering the desert three years ago. The white on his face looked like an axe, so she gave him the official name of Axel. He's a Monsterous Troublemaker, but he can take care of Rin better than he himself ever could.
He thought through all this while the he sat in class at the academy. The sensei was going over what they had yesturday because over half the class had skipped to go and pick flowers in the village garden. He'd rather be in class, so that was exactly where he was. Therefore the teacher paid no attention to his blank, zoned out expression. All the other students who were there had the same blank expression.
If Rin had still been here, she would have been with the group picking flowers. Knowing her she'd drag him along, and Axel would eat the ones she'd picked before she could even stand up from the ground. He laughed mentally at the though. He was always getting into mischief. For some unkown reason that comforted him.
She'd Be okay, because she always was.
