Chapter 5~ The Truth of a Lie
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She walked to the lake, she hadn't had a chance to bathe in a while. There was a small waterfall near it, and the water was sparklingly clear. She checked to see if anyone was around before taking off her attire. She let her feet touch the water before placing her entire body in.
She swam along the lake for what seemed like hours. She didn't want to get out because it made her feel cool and untouched.
~*I wonder what Hayate is going to tell Ryu.
She got caught in a train of thought before she realized in was nearly nightfall. She jumped out of the water, and put on her deep purple garb and boots.
She sat at the edge of the lake, watching the sunset. She heard wind start to whistle and leafs gathering. She then saw Hayabusa appear in front of her.
He walked slowly to her, and sat beside her.
"Hayate said that he hadn't seen Kasumi since the second DOA tournament, like I assumed." He said in a serious tone.
Ayane raised a brow.
"I think the man that told you to leave must have been playing a prank on you, Ayane."
"It wouldn't be the first time anyone has done something that childish, in order to mislead me..."
Ayane frowned. She hated to say it, but it wasn't. People had always made her feel unexepted because she was an illegitimate child.
"What do you mean?" Hayabusa looked at her questionably.
"I'm not a pure bred shinobi. Many people have trouble with that fact." Ayane looked away embarrassed.
"What's wrong with that? I'm not of pure shinobi blood either. I have green eyes, Ayane. Do you think that would come from any japanese ninja you know of?" Hayabusa said calmly, and smiled at her trying to cheer her up.
"I guess you're right..." She looked at him. "Is Hayate all right?"
He stood up and nodded. Seeming annoyed by the question, he walked away quietly.
"Thank you, Ryu..." She whispered to the air, thinking he was still behind her.
"...For everything."

::Author Notes::
Another short chapter... Sorry. I probably should've made this chapter and the last chapter, one chapter... Oh well ^^; But I promise the next chapter will be longer.
Please review!
I don't know why he let Kasumi back into the clan since she ran away...if this is true.
I hope Hayate is alright.*~
