Hey. As of now, I'm rewriting Ren! woot. Hope you like the new chapter one, I cut it short so sorry about that. Maybe it'll be longer? Who knows! XD
Ren walked towards the memorial. It was a grey, bleak structure that filled its purpose. To honor the shinobi who died in action, to honor those that died to protect Konoha.
Konoha's newcomer stood in front of it, wishing the remainder of her hope for a certain someone to come back to life. A wish that almost everyone wistfully wants at a time in their life. One of the few wishes that can never be granted.
"Why? Why did you volunteer to protect a foreign village? A Village not even yours?" the black hair, pony-tailed girl murmured.
Her deep brown eyes were blurred with tears that streaked down her tan face. A hand was placed over her lips, to stifle a cry of anguish, of sadness. Her other hand reached out to touch the structure, but soon stopped mid-air. It quickly returned to her side, but as a clenched fist.
Tears continued to fall, only they reached the ground this time.
"You know, just crying about it won't do anything," a neutral voice said in Ren's ear.
She whipped around to see who had spoken. What she saw was air. There was no one hiding behind her. The tired girl looked around, to still see no stranger. Instead, she saw a certain someone she knew quite well.
"You!" She yelled, well, rather hissed. It still had the same effect.
Birds flew out of their nests and flapped away to return at a later time of the day.
The masked shinobi with gravity-defying hair said, "Who?"
While Ren tried to control her anger, the man from before was gone for a mere second. When she was about to ask where he went, he whispered in her ear, "Why so testy?"
She snapped. Her anger was released but for only a second.
She elbowed him in the stomach, hard, and marched over to the forest. With that done, she disappeared in the shadows of the forest.
"Guess she really does remember." Kakashi Hatake said while rubbing the spot where she elbowed him.
