OK PEOPLE! THE CHAPTER THAT'LL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF! (Not really) BUT ENJOY!
Not everything you can expect
----------------------------------------
It was sunny after the crazy 2 weeks of a raging battle, there was no explanation why the allied mist suddenly attacked the konoha alliance, The recent Hokage died during a ferocious battle with the mastermind leader of the alliance. It was said that both didn't make it out alive, there were sites to prove it, a huge hole in the ground that made an earthquake. Konoha is still trying to rebuild its pride, the villagers helping the broken buildings even enemy clans are working together to rebuild the loved Konoha. Which leaves one more particular person.
----------------------------------------
The room was a plain white colour, empty, containing only a coffee table, window curtains and a bed with a well rested girl laying peacefully at last. The room resembled her soul greatly, it was at the moment empty, running through doors still leading into the same room, searching for an answer, for power to protect. The empty room soon became populated with cared for friends.
"She's still asleep isn't she?..."
"Yeah, Minamoto…" Chiko softly whispered placing a bouquet of bright coloured flowers in a neaby vase
"So, how are you feeling?" He smiled at her
"I'm fine! There just minor cuts, and truthfully thanks to someone I was mostly healed," She laughed rubbing her bandages
"Is that so?.."
"What is so?" A cheery voice entered the room
The two turned their heads to be greeted by a bulky swords user and a Taijutsu master.
"Hey Raiza and Sora!" Chiko smiled widely
"Hey!" Sora rushed over to Chiko giving a friendly hug, slowly squeezing her, tighter and tighter.
"Ah..It…Hurt…s….Can…t…Br…eat…h!" Chiko choked
"Sora… Don't kill her… Please…" Raiza chuckled
Her eyes widened then laughed, she quickly let go of the dying girl, they all finally met up, in the least wanted place.
The room suddenly went quiet, all eyes on the still body laying peacefully on the plain white bed. They knew she changed, they knew what she could do, but to risk her life on it was different, almost a side of her everyone never saw, not even Chiko. They all slowly shifted to a comfortable position, finding spare chairs, leaning against the cold wall, or sitting on the floor leaned against the wall (Hobo Style LOL!). They heard small ruffling noises.
"Wher..e…am…i?..." A weak voice panted
Everyones eyes dropped, this was the first day since 2 weeks she woke up, coma. Everyone released there held in breathe and smiled cheerfully.
"RIKU!" Chiko yelled then jumped on the bed squishing Riku.
BEEEEEEP (The noise when your pulse stops)
Everyone's mouth dropped and a huge sweat dropped from their heads.
"CHIKO!" They all yelled at the same time
She suddenly stood up then her pulse amazingly restarted, almost like a computer restarting.
"Hey…" Riku said slowly leaning up against the wall. She examined the room and everyone was there, everyone she was friends with, they all cared for her until the end, no matter how much crap she caused them.
"Mina… (Everyone in jap)" She said smiling faintly
They all replied smiling.
----------------------------------------
The day pasted well fast, one by one everyone left leaving the room empty again, she hated it, it made her feel lonely. Her eyes wondered the room, slowly laying back down in her soft bed, she starred at the roof. Sometimes when there is nothing to do flashbacks of bad memories appear and haunt you. She was then suddenly snapped back to reality when she heard the window slide open. A shadow sat against the window, Riku was shocked and a bit nervous when the being slightly moved into the light. She loosened herself to see who was there, not the enemy but a good friend she never thought she would ever trust, especially from the history he had.
"Minamoto…" She whispered laying back down starring at the plain roof
He didn't reply but she heard slight footsteps next to her bed, then a sigh when he sat down on the chair placed next to her bed.
"How you feeling?" He finally answered
"I'm alright I guess…"
"I see,"
It was silent for a bit, both were thinking of what to say, they had a relationship on trust. They weren't the best of friends but they trusted each other when life and death came, Minamoto understands Riku and her actions, yet Riku knows almost nothing about him in return.
"Minamoto…Have you ever killed anyone?" Riku broke the silence
"Many… Why do you ask, as ninja's we are like tools of killing…"
"Nothing, its just… I get haunted by the lives of people I have taken, especially this one…"
"What is the difference? A life is a life, and its all the same, nothing is different. In order to live you need to kill."
"Yeah… I guess…" She said blankly
"Riku… What did you do? When u come back from A-Rank missions killing a whole village you don't act like this. Was this ninja different?"
"No, he was like any other, a ninja seeking strength, continue living and a purpose on killing…"
"So you know him?..."
"Yeah… He was Amaya's brother… He is an ex-leaf ninja… He came back to kill me…"
Minimoto was silent, he knew where this was leading to, avenger, strength, greed. He knew that that was atleast pass through Riku's mind but he wasn't sure, she was saying all those words as if she was explaining herself, he didn't want to be betrayed, not again. He finally trusted a person at last but is he was betrayed he would stray away and fade from the earths face, almost as if he was never here.
One second you could be completely different from a person, and the next you could be soul mates, the same path and dreams in the journey ahead.
"What are you going to do?..." He starred at her
"I… Don't… know…"
"Well, whatever you do, think about it before you do it, Riku…" He said seriously then jumped out of the open window.
It was left open, the wind caressing her cheeks, drifting into the room circulating, forcing the warmth leave. It was cold, it was as cold as Amaya's skin when she picked her up, she hated the cold at first, but then adapted and started to enjoy its presence. The night, wind and rain all together were beautiful to Riku, rain was like holy water washing away all of her sins, the night indicating the darkness her path was going to be, and the wind was the change of directions she would take. It all almost explained her like a book, she loved those elements, but she hated fire. Fire was some of her techniques but fire to her was like blood, like her eyes.
Let the rain fall on me, to wash all my sorrow away.
Let the wind blow me away, away from this place.
Let the darkness consume me, to give me power.
Let the blood flow, flow through my body.
Let me be me…
