Mayu and Sasuke walked into the small cabin at the edge of the clearing. They were both soaked through thanks to Mayu. She was smiling and he could tell she was happy to get her past off her chest. But he found it hard to accept what had happened in her past. His own father, treating his only daughter like she was nothing at all; like she wasn't even qualified to be called an Uchiha. Well judging from what she said, that was exactly what he thought of her. Mayu slid open the door and walked in with Sasuke close behind. They both took off their shoes and Mayu walked to the bathroom. Sasuke waited patiently in the entrance so he wouldn't make the floor wet. He carried on thinking about her past and how their father had treated her and all. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft white towel being chucked at his face. He pulled the towel off his head and glared at Mayu.
"You wanna take a shower first Sasuke?"
He thought for a minute.
"Nah, you go first."
She giggled.
"Ok, if you insist."
She turned on her heel and walked into the bathroom. Sasuke sighed and started to towel dry his raven hair. He grabbed a soda and plunked down on the couch. His sensitive ears picked up the water starting to run and the splashes coming from inside the bathroom told him that Mayu was in the shower. She was fast, good thing too; he was freezing his ass off. She walked out and Sasuke almost stopped breathing at the sight of his older sister. He had always seen her wearing the outfit similar to his own. But now she was wearing mid-calf Capri pants that had an ice camo pattern and she was wearing a white hoodie with no sleeves and was bearing her mid-riff. Then he spotted it. Where her bandages normally were above her shorts, were three commas in a circle much like the Sharingan's pattern in their eyes. She caught him staring and shrugged it off.
"It's just a tattoo..." she said hoping that he would believe it. To her relief, he didn't pressure her and said nothing as he walked into the bathroom. She grabbed her ninja clothes and got changed into them. She grabbed a soda and drank it as she plunked onto the couch just like Sasuke. She felt the need to stretch her vocal chords so she walked outside and sat of and swing that she had tied to a branch of a tree. She swung back and forth, thinking about nothing in particular. Actually, she was thinking about which song to sing. It clicked and she cleared her throat and began to sing.
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've beenNow I'm here, blinking in the starlightNow I'm here, suddenly I seeStanding here, it's all so clearI'm where I'm meant to beAnd at last I see the lightAnd it's like the fog has liftedAnd at last I see the lightAnd it's like the sky is newAnd it's warm and real and brightAnd the world has somehow shiftedAll at once everything looks differentNow that I see you
Sasuke stepped out of the shower but stopped when he heard Mayu's voice coming from outside. He quickly got dressed in dry clothes and stepped outside to listen to her sing. He stayed silent as he listened to her beautiful singing. Mayu caught him and caught a glimpse of his eyes. She ran up to him and ran a thumb under his eye. Her eyes widened.
"Uh, Mayu?"
"You've reached... you've reached the second level!"
Meanwhile...
Tsunami started making dinner for the ninja that were there, her father Tazuna and her son Inari a young boy wearing a hat to hide his sad face. Naruto was zizzing on his arms while Sakura was talking girl talk with Tsunami and helping her cook diner. Tazuna and Kakashi were talking about how well the bridge was coming along. After dinner Naruto went back to lying on his arms and watched the people shuffle around the room. Sakura was looking at a picture that was torn. She turned around faced Inari.
"Excuse me, but this photo is torn. Inari you were looking at it all through dinner. It looks like there was another person in the picture but they got torn out. Why is that?"
Tsunami, Tazuna and Inari immediately stiffened. Tazuna took off his glasses and placed them in front of him on the table. He clasped his hands together in front of his and stared at them all. Tsunami carried on doing the washing-up.
"That's my husband."
Tazuna looked at her and then back to the ninja. He was about to speak when someone kicked open the door. Kakashi and the two Genin jumped up and were ready to protect Tazuna and his family. Two ravens stood at the door smirking. Kakashi got a better look at them through the smoke caused by the door flying into the wall breaking the plaster.
"Sasuke and Mayu?"
They lowered their guard and the siblings entered through the door. Tazuna fixed his glasses and glared at them.
"Where have you two been?"
"Training."Was their simple answer.
"Oh."
Kakashi looked at the two. Naruto looked at them as well while Sakura glared at Mayu in general. In the honest truth, she was burning with jealousy.
"Why does Mayu get to spend all the time with Sasuke? He's mine dammit not hers! He belongs only with me! ME!"
"What are YOU doing here Mayu?" she yelled. Sasuke's eyes flashed. He sped towards her and she never noticed when he appeared behind her. Sakura finally noticed Sasuke standing behind her and noticed his glaring.
"I wouldn't talk to her like that if I were you...Sakura..." She seemed to being shitting herself which Mayu found to be quite funny. Sakura glared at her. And Sasuke glared at Sakura who stopped glaring at Mayu.
"Anyway, I heard you were going to tell the truth," she said as she walked towards the table and sat down," So spill grandpa."
Tazuna sighed.
"Fine. I will tell you why our country has no pride or courage anymore."
