Armor clanged as it was dropped to the floor. "Stupid war..." Swords dropped. "Stupid brother..." Shoes were thrown. "Stupid men with a superiority complex..." A ribbon was pulled, letting loose a torrent of white hair. "Horrible brothers getting in my way!" Yelling made her feel slightly better. "You're all bastards!" "No we're not!" She ripped open the flaps of her tent to confront her brother. Her white hair flying in her rush, violet eyes screaming in silence from the exhaustion she carried. "Shut up and go away! Haven't you ruined my day enough?!" "You almost got killed!" "I was fine Hashirama!" His brown eyes met her violet ones.

Hashirama took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Rin, you were reckless. You can't be reckless going against the Uchiha, they can and will kill you! I can't lose another sibling." Rin's eyes lowered and she dropped her angry expression, her eldest brother put his hand on top of her head. "Just do me a favor Imouto, always look behind yourself." "Yeah fine, I'm going for a walk." Rin shook his hand off and walked past. She always went to a nearby lake after a battle, it had a calming effect on her. "Be careful Shortie!" Never turning back she raised a certain finger to Tobirama. "I'm always careful Jerk!"


Rin sat crossed legged on her normal sitting rock, her hands pressed together as she steadied her breathing. She knew her chakra levels were low, this was why she always came here. Once in awhile she could feel people pass by, after all this was the river seperating the Uchiha and Senju lands. Thankfully any of the Uchiha that patrolled near here just ignored her, one time she was confronted but since she was on her side of the river they quickly stopped the questioning and left her be. She preferred it this way, to just be ignored, not to be pestered by her brothers or by the women of her village to find a man to "protect her and start making a family". Why does she need to be protected? She protects herself just fine! "I bring down mountains with my fists dammit!" She hit the side of the rock creating a large dent in the rock. Not enough to break it and send her into the water though.

"Well if you bring mountains down with your fists I guess I don't need to ask if you're okay." Rin gasped and almost fell off her rock. She did not in any way feel the man now standing across from her walk up. "Where did you come from?" The dark man pointed behind himself towards the Uchiha lands. "So you're an Uchiha?" "Yes and you must be a Senju, since you're sitting on their side. Plus I know everyone in my village and you I don't know." "You're good at deductions." She eyed him carefully, he was tall, probably a foot or more taller than she was. He had dark eyes and long black hair. His dark long hair matched her long white hair. He leaned against a tree directly across from her, watching her carefully she knew that if she made any move to attack he'd be on her in a second. She'd seen him fight before, only for a moment before one of her brothers pulled her from the fight. "I've seen you. On the battlefield. You're strong." He arched an eyebrow at her comment. "I've seen you too. I would not want to be on the receiving end of your fist."

She couldn't help but smile from his comment. "I take that as a compliment so thank you. Now I have a question." He nodded as he began walking towards her on the water. "Why is it that you, an Uchiha, is just simply talking and not questioning me, a Senju, while I'm so close to your border?" He stopped in the middle of the lake, about 50 feet away from her. "I don't think you are a threat. Even if you were, I'm sure I could take you down easily. No offence intended, you're strong and a damn good kunoichi but I am fairly stronger." Rin hopped down from her sitting place and walked towards him. She could feel him letting his chakra flow more freely. He was right, he was stronger. "You're right. You could take me down easily, very easily by the feel of your chakra." She now stood directly in front of him, she of course had to look up at him. "You make me feel shorter." "Sorry?"

It made his stomach turn when she laughed. Not the kind where he wanted to vomit, like when his idiot brother flirted with women, this was more butterflies. 'She's a Senju.' He mentally scolded himself, but he couldn't help the deep seated feeling within himself. Her hair, white as the fresh winter snow. Eyes, violet like the morning mountains catching the sun in just the right way, but cautious, he was sure that was from the war. She was tiny but firm, short in stature but not a twig like the Uchiha women. She was beautiful in all ways possible. "I'm not going to tell you my name." She crooked an eyebrow. "Then I won't either. How about middle names?" "I don't have one. Why don't you just call me Dara?" "Dara. Okay Dara Uchiha! I am Rrriii-Rei! Call me Rei." He covered a laugh at her attempt of covering her name. Her smile grew at his vain attempt of covering his laugh.

They stood there for hours just talking, her doing most of the talking. she had a feeling that while he generally had a tight kept face and kept his arms folded, he was secretly enjoying her company. "Well Dara, I should probably go home. My brothers will eventually come looking." "i understand, I need to finish my patrol. My own brother is probably waiting on me." She stepped away from him but looked back at him. "Maybe I will see you here again?" He nodded his head and caught her eye before disappearing into the darkness of the Uchiha forest. His Uchiwa Fan the last thing she saw on him. She sighed before slowly walking back to the camp.
