Chapter 1: Lonely Ninja, Dancing Flower

A lonely ninja sits by a lake,

Contemplating the world and how to deal with his life.

He does this often

Just to get away from it all.

The tree above provides him shade

And the white flowers fall from it every time the wind blows.

The ninja pays no attention to the jovial flowers

He just finds then all a nuisance.

A breeze blows through,

More flowers fall

Just as before.

The white flowers playfully surround the ninja once again,

But none make a move to touch him.

One bold flower plans to break the trend.

A silky pink flower drifts from the tree

And lands softly on his shoulder.

His head jerks to the side

But instead of flicking it away like the others

He takes it in his hand.

How did a pink flower come from so many white?

It is different, like him,

He remembers thinking it is beautiful.

A slight smile creeps into his face.

The angry wind blows,

Jealous of his loyalty to the flower.

The pink flower gets swept out of his hand,

And floats into the lake.

The flower waits for the kind ninja to save her

But instead he leaves her.

The flower frantically tries to swim to him,

But is overcome by the waves,

And she cries as she realizes

He will never love her.

He will never again return to the lake,

He goes where the wind takes him,

That is where his loyalty lies now.
