disclaimer I don't own Naruto only my oc's (Edited on 1-9-2017)
"Rina...Rina wake up." I open my eyes to a pair of familiar green eyes and dark brown hair.
"Mama!" I jump at her
"I missed so much." I hug her tight, she returns my hug.
"I missed you so much too, now come I made breakfast." She pulls me out of bed. letting go of my hand and walked through the wooden door. I walk after her only to find myself in a dark alley. Then I realized it looked familiar.
"RINA ! HELP!" I turn to the direction of the voice. I look to see the three men that almost rape me trying to do the same to my mom.
"MAMA!" I run as fast as I can to her, but it felt that the alley keep getting longer and longer. Trying my best I saw that they got a griped my mother's hair and slit her throat.
"NOOOO!" I yell at the top of my lungs. I finally caught up only to see the men were no longer there. My mom was covered in blood and her once bright green eyes now dull with tears I kneel next to her and hug her lifeless body.
" I told you this hell world takes everything we care for." I look up to see lollipop man with his eye hole shining red. I look down at my now blooded hands and clothing and say
"Your right this is hell." I let at a loud scream,
"AAHHHHH!" sitting up I look around to see I was still in my room and there was no blood on me. I lay back down try even out my breathing I noticed I covered in sweat.
"It was just a dream. it was just a dream" whispering to myself. Finally calming down I got out of bed trying to shake my nerves I look at my clock reading it was almost 9. That means dad had already left for his weekly appointment. I guess he didn't want to wake me on my day off. Stretching my limbs I got on my knees and pulled out a case from under my bed. Grabbing it from the handle I place it on top of my bed. I he'd over to my closet and grab lollipop man's cloak, he still hasn't returned to get it till then I wear it as much I can. It was really comfortable, warm and it made me feel safe. Putting it on and zipping it up I walk back to my bed grab the case and head to the back door. Putting on my boots I head out back of the house towards the bamboo forest. Fallowing the dirt path until I passed a familiar marked bamboo I turn left and keep heading straight until I reached a plain field of just grass. The sun shining through the bamboo trees gave the area a mystical lime green color and on the far right were some boulders. Climbing onto of a medium size one I sit down and open the case revealing my violin. Picking it up I prick the strings to see if it was in tune. Making sure it was I started playing the haunting melody that my mother would always hum and play when I had nightmares. It has always soothed me, I made sure I put all my emotions into the notes just like my mother taught me. Each note and movement I made came from the heart making sure it told a story. When I finished playing it I heard the sound of clapping fallowed by voice coming from the left of me.
"That was beautiful." A figure stepping out of the shadows says. Without a second thought I threw my bow at the figure only to miss the target by a mile. Making lollipop man sweat drop over his mask. Realizing it was only him I stood up and jumped off the boulder.
"You scared me" I called out. He walked over to pick up my bow and hand it back to me.
"Thank you." I inspected the bow to make sure it was not damaged.
"What was that piece called, I never herd anything like it?" Looking up at him I replied
"My mother told me that my grandmother forgot the words of the lullaby, so she would just hum the tune. Later on my mom learned to play it on the violin and she taught it me. It was the first piece I ever learned how to play." Giving him a smile.
"Is that the only piece you know how to play?" Shaking my head I say,
"No, I know alot more I compose, learned piano and can play the lullaby on it as well." he nodded his head then his mask was facing down at the direction of my body and I remembered I was wearing his cloak.
"Sorry, umm it's just your cloak is really comfortable." I Rub the back of my head chuckling.
"Yeah I know, now I want it back." He holds out his black gloves hand.
"Wait, I'm not wearing anything decent under. Can we go back to my home then I'll give it to you there." I explain. He stood quite for some time and coughed into his fist.
"Um alright just keep it on then. Let's take you home to put some clothes on." His mask not facing in my direction.
"What do you mean I'm in my pajamas, it's pretty cold so I need my sweater? "I ask clueless of what he thought I ment tilting my head
"Nothing! Nothing let's just take you home so I can take it off I mean you put something on."he says quickly while putting his hands up waving them frantically.
"your funny Lolli-san." I giggle at him
"Lolli-san?" He stops waving his hands and tilts his head.
"Yeah since I never got your name, so that's what I decided to call you." i tell him.
"Just call me tobi, I don't like to be called something that's close to a Lolita." He grumbles
"Ok Tobi-san let's go so I can give you back your cloak back." when I said that my stomach grumbles making me blush and look to the floor and whisper
"And something to eat." I walk over to the boulder that I was sitting on putting my violin and bow in the case. Closing it I grab the handle and I head over back to him.
"Alright lead the way." Tobi says
I started walking the way back home. Tobi walked by my side and he grab my case. I quickly look at him
"I'll carry it." He says. Making me blush I give him a warm smile at him.
"Thank you." I say and kept walking. Putting my hands behind my back admiring the nature around us. Looking around and smelling the morning dew made me think about the times I use to play in the forest as a kid. This is the main reason I chose to live here away from the town I thought to myself while not noticing that tobi was looking at me causing him to almost bump into a bamboo tree.
"How did you find that place?" Tobi asks me, looking at him I replied
"I love nature, I always had as a kid. One day I was upset and needed some time to think clearly so I wondered in here and that's how I found it. I made sure I marked the trees as I go I learned that lesson the hard way when I got lost in the forest for hours when I was growing up. " shaking my head letting out a small laugh recalling that memory.
"Why were upset?" My face turned serious when he asked this,
"My father he was getting worse and the money we had saved wasn't going last for much longer. So I had to find something to do really quick. You can only imagine the struggle of trying to find a job at 13 years old. I finally got one and have been working there for the past 2 years." We finally make it to the dirt path and start heading towards the exit. I don't know anything about him only that he is a shinobi.
"Do you have any family?" i asked. Ignoring my question he quickly changed the subject.
"What illness does your father has?" Not noticing he ignored my question. I take a big breath and replied,
"He has type two diabetes, he was doing just great up until my mother's death. After that happened he started drinking making his health even worse. We had to move here when he could no longer do any hard labor." We finally reached the exit of the forest we start heading towards the back door of my home.
"Would you like to come in Tobi-san? It would be rude of me not welcome you in." I ask shyly looking up at him with my fingers knotted. He just nodded. I turned around and opened the door. I step in and taking off my shoes,
"You can go to the kitchen I'll be there in a little bit." I called out on my way to the room. Once I entered, I zipped off the coat and put on a simple purple yutaka on. Making sure the obi around me was secured I grab his cloak and walk toward the kitchen, only to find tobi in the hallway looking at the pictures I had hung there of my early childhood. He turned his head hearing me approach him. Once I reached his side I saw he was looking at the one when I was around 7 at the time. I was sitting on my father's shoulders with a big smile with some teeth missing, with my arms outstretched like a bird. My father was looking up at me also having a big smile and my mother was on our right looking at us with her hand covering her mouth laughing at our antics.
"That's me and my parents we lived on the farm around that time." Thinking of the bitter sweet memory I sigh,
"I miss those times" I say softly. I turn to tobi and gave him a forced smile I held out his coat towards him. He took it from my hands and thanked me.
"No problem, umm do you want some tea or anything before you go?" I point my thumb towards the kitchen.
Shaking his head he walks past me and heads towards the door. I still had alot of questions unanswered from him. Something about him made me curious about him, it was his mysterious persona that interested me. I reached for his hand and stopped him. He turned around to face me, I quickly let go of his hand.
"Wait, I still want you to teach me how to defend myself, I know the world is cruel and unforgiving, but if I learned to at least protect myself it would help, so please Tobi-san help me." I put my hands in a praying motion looking at him. He stood there for some reason thinking before he finally spoke,
"Ok I will teach you, but there is no backing out, even if you beg I don't want this to be a waste of time and you owe my a favor in the future."
"Really, oh thank you! thank you! thank you Tobi-sensei!"I jump at him and gave him a big hug. He stiffened under me until I finally let go.
"So when do we start?" I ask
"Now after you eat. We will start on your diet if you want to survive my training." He says walking towards my kitchen.
"I hope I don't regret this." I say to myself. I look at the photo next to the one that Tobi was looking at earlier. It was of me, Manami, lady chouko and my father at the restaurant celebrating my father's birthday. Looking at it made me determine. I will protect them no matter what even if Tobi says that this is hell he is wrong, I thought to myself. I walk towards the kitchen to begin my training.
I don't want you to think that tobi is out of character. You have remember since Rina looks like rin tobi is acing like his past self again. That's why he is being so nice to her and don't worry there would be times where we will see him act like the total badass that he is but I don't want to reveal spoilers. Oh and if you want to know what she played look up Pan's Labyrinth lullaby violin version. I highly recommend the movie Pan's Labyrinth it's a really good movie it will make you have mixed emotions. Alright till next time. ^-^
