Konoha and disaster
When morning came, Misery and Mizuki went in the direction of Konoha, while Yamato, Sakura, Sai, and Naruto went the other way.
"Thank you, Yamato, for rescuing me," Misery had said.
"Don't mention it," Yamato had said.
"And Sai, thank you for saving Mizuki," Misery had added.
"Hn."
"He doesn't show emotions," Sakura whispered.
"O-K..." Misery was slightly confused, but whatever, "Thanks for healing us, Sakura.
"I hope you have good luck doing whatever you're doing, Yamato, Sai, and Sakura," Misery said, and more quietly added, "And I hope Naruto gets eaten by cougars and stampeded by a pack of savage elephants, then have him dragged out of the ground to be vicously eaten by pandas who are on a rampage of the dead."
"Thank you," Yamato said, "And good luck on what you're doing, also."
She hadn't meant what she'd said to Naruto. She didn't want him to be eaten by cougars and stampeded by a pack of savage elephants…but he deserved it for what he said to Mizuki.
After about half a day, they came to Konoha.
"We're at Konoha," she said.
"I don't know," he murmured.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is Konoha, unless that huge sign that said 'Konoha' was lieing," she asked.
"That's not what I meant. They don't really like me," he told her, but had given her a 'how stupid can you get look' at the first part.
"You tried to steal the scroll, I couldn't really blame them," Misery said.
"That's comforting," he muttered, "but this is serious."
"Suck it up," Misery said exhasperated.
"You're telling me to suck it up?" Mizuki said.
"Yeah. I'm not the one who's so afraid..."
"I hope we don't see anyone I know," he said.
"Yeah, well, what happens if we do?" she asked.
"It's not so much me seeing them; it's them seeing and noticing me," he said.
"That might be a problem," Misery said.
"You think?!" Mizuki said.
"Actually, I do think. I'm highly intellegent, and I was a straight A student back when I was still in school," Misery said.
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what could you have possibly meant?" Misery asked with a smirk.
"I could have meant many things, but as for what I did mean, I'm pretty sure you know."
"This is getting boring," Misery said and walked to a restaraunt. She ordered and ate.
"Hey, Misery, why are you so uncaring?" Mizuki asked that evening.
"I told you; the world doesn't care about what happens to me, so I don't care back."
"I'm sure someone cared about you once," Mizuki said.
"They probably did. But that all died when Salem died. Didn't I tell you this?" she asked.
"I think that there's more than you're letting on about what happened in your life," Mizuki said as they walked out.
She turned to him, "Do you really want to know what happened to me?"
"Sure." Mizuki was both curious, and he knew she was just dieing to tell someone.
"You may or may not know this, but my parents were jailers. I used to be a normal kid who had friends and everything. I had plans to be a ninja. But then one day, I came home and Salem was dead. He'd been murdered by one of the prisoners. I always think that if I'd have been home, he'd have been with me! That was the end of everything I'd known. My parents, they needed me to be strong, but I couldn't. I was too caught up in how I felt, but then, then I started losing everything I used to be...
"When he was around, I knew exactly who I was. It was like Salem was another part of me. But then he left, and my family seemed to fall apart. But then... I let it happen. I let my family fall apart! It's my fault that this happened to me. But I guess I have to live with my mistakes.
"Then I started becoming this person. The other me, the old me who could love and feel and all that...that part of me dissapeared. I love who I used to be. But that's gone. But if I could just change that...if I'd been thinking, this wouldn't have happened. It's my fault.
"I didn't care. I did at first, but now I've lost every part of me. I really wish that I could change that. That's basically my life story."
Misery stared at the hokages carved into the mountain. She'd been staring at them the entire time.
"One more question," Mizuki said.
"I guess it doesn't make a difference," Misery said, "Just don't make it too...long."
"What did you mean when you said that without me, you'd be dead?"
"..."
