Running


Every sharp edged stone was felt beneath a young girl's feet under the pressure of her weight. She was running. Running away from everything she stood for. Her twelve years of life being brought up as a ninja had finally washed out of her as tears streamed down her face.

She broke rule number twenty four. Uzumaki, Mizuki had shown emotion. As she ran towards the gate of Konaha she was reminded of his words. How much it hard crushed her inside. She could feel her broken heart at the back of her throat.

I have no longer any use for this meaningless relationship

She choked back a sob once she reached the gate. The guards had left it unattended. Too pre-occupied with the event that had occurred moments after she had left. She didn't know what event, and she didn't particularly care at this point. She had nothing left, not one reason being to stay for in this country. Not after losing everything a second time round.

I had never once loved you

It would have been better if he had slapped her across the face. He had taken pity on her. She finally understood the reason for his abrupt relationship with her was due to her feeling insecure and alone. He pitied her and hadn't wanted her to become reckless during missions.

And now he had just given up. Not wanting things to become more serious than it already had been. Perhaps thats why his demeanour had changed so abruptly. However it was all irrelevant now. Mizuki was leaving.

You were a waste of my time

As she ran though the gate and into the forest. She had suddenly heard a loud cry of pain. Pausing, she turned and looked into the distance of the night towards the hidden village. The full moon hung over, lingering in the skyline. It was a dark night tonight. If she hadn't have become so badly distraught she would have been concerned.

Mizuki felt the strands of her long crimson hair clinging onto the sweat on her face, as she tried to catch her breath she contemplated…if she left Konoha now, she may never be able to return. She may forever have ANBU running after her or be entered into the Bingo book, in fear she may sell off vital information of the hidden village to opposing countries.

I never want to see your pathetic, and repulsive face again

Feeling the lump return back to her throat while she heaved to gain more oxygen back into her system, Mizuki turned to the darkened mountain horizon heading north-east of the country, towards the Land of Frost. No one would search for her there. No one who knew her would believe she'd head towards the Country of Lightening. She could fade into the world. Disappear. Move on with her life.

Without a moment to lose, without a hint of hesitation…Uzumaki, Mizuki left.
