Sad endings

[Riku]

After a few weeks of sensless traveling, Hikaru found herself standing alone on top of a lone, branch less, leafless tree that rose one hundred feet off the ground. She looked down at the ground which was so very far away while tying a blindfold around her eyes. She had had enough and it was time to end it... All.

The doujutsu less uchiha had gone through a lot and was overall unfulfilled with her life in konoha. There were never any missions that were interesting and since the authorities refused to promote her, there was nothing to strive for. She had even tried activating her sharingan to no avail, making her think that she wasn't even an uchiha to begin with. Maybe it was all a lie...

With a final gasp of the cold morning air, Hikaru stepped off of the top of the tree and hoped for the best.

“Shit man… I’m tired.”

I thought to myself as I stood near a lightly wooded area, the day had been a long one I had spent training. It was the coming exams that had me working like a crazy man to channel my skills, I knew I had great prowess with the suiton element but I felt that wasn’t enough. I knew if I wanted to make it back to Amegakure as a Chunnin that I would have to out work anyone else, but it wasn’t only that they had me out here working like a mad man. The thought of my own brother, he hadn’t even made it pass the rank of Chunnin. I knew I wanted to be better than him in every way possible, my hands began to move through a couple of seals but before I could even finish my seals I spotted something that didn’t look right.

“Nani?”

I thought to myself as the girl looked as she was waiting on something, but I would quickly learn that it wasn’t the case. Before my mind could even register what was going on my body was reacting, I quickly shoot forward as the girl began her free fall from the tree. I wasn’t sure why she was jumping from the tree but I knew it was pretty stupid that she did, I quickly cut the distance that separated us to nothing while focusing a bit of chakra into my feet. As he body freely fell from the tree I would quickly jump into the snatching her from the air, I would catch her with both arms securing her in my arms before I landed.

I would begin to shake my head as I had noticed she had been blind folded along with the headband she had around he neck, it was one from the village of konoha. I wasn’t sure why she was jumping but I figured it had something to do with that village, it hadn’t done anything for me in my time being there and she probably felt the exact same way. As I let her down from my arms I would take a couple steps back,

“Come on now, you can’t be serious? Whatever your problem is isn’t worth your life miss.”

I would say in a semiserious tone of voice, I would lean my head to the side slightly as I looked her up and down. ‘let’s hope this doesn’t get confrontational.’ I thought as I folded my arms and waited for the girls response.

[Riku]

It was rather annoying, but she couldn't help the fact that she had supernatural hearing. As she fell from the treetop, the sharp sound of the wind hitting her ear at high speeds made her cringe and wish that she would die even sooner. However that would not be the case. Hikaru didn't hear anybody coming, but suddenly she felt herself in arms of somebody or another. Her first thought was that she had indeed died and was being whisked away to some other dimension, but that seemed silly. She then realized that someone had 'saved' her.

When her savior landed, he set her down and spoke to her. After listening to what the guy had to say, Hikaru simply stood there for a few moments, basking in all the sounds that were to be heard. She didn't bother removing her blindfold, since she was beginning to appreciate sounds more than she did light. Her ears had never deceived her, nor had they refused to perform at their highest potential. At the moment, she wished nothing more than to rip her eyes out of their sockets so she would never again get frustrated over them again.

"I wanted to be a shinobi to become great," she said softly. As she continued to speak her voice would escalate in volume until she was shouting at the top of her lungs. "But my village had me blinded from the beginning. There is nothing more to my life than being a meat shield during an attack! Do you know what it feels like... To be so blind?!"

At that, she would form one handseal. She wasn't about to fight this man for trying to save her, but she wanted to be truly understood, for once in her life. The jutsu she would perform would attempt to send the man into blindness.

As the girl began to speak a little under her breath my head would tilt slightly to the side, I wasn’t sure what she was thinking. ‘Nani’ I thought as she began to scream about being blind, as her hand pulled together to form a single seal my chakra reacted on it’s quickly flaring to my eyes. I had known the seal all too well, as the girl attempted to activate her Genjutsu three tomoe would appear within my eyes. ‘Shesh.’ I thought for a second while allowed her to stand there with the blind folds over her eyes. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to off her or if she was just having a mental breakdown, but I’d bite tightening my fist as I looked over her form once more. I was able to pear inside of the girl to some degree to get a little information about her, I would shake my head slightly before taking another step back.

“Come on now, you shouldn’t just recklessly try to trap people in Genjutsu miss. It could be the end of the you if you fuck with the wrong person.”

I would say as a smile would cross my face, it had seemed like the girl was going through a bit more than I thought. She was feeling like she hadn’t been much of a Shionbi, but casting an Ninjutsu of that level showed that she was quite talented. Now my hand would quickly find it’s way into my tool bag pulling a single Kunai from it, I hadn’t planned on attacking the girl unless she continued to irritate me. But just incase my hands would begin to flip through a couple of seals while I spoke.

“Now, before we go any further I’m gonna ask you if you’re going to keep acting like that. I don’t want to hurt you miss, I’ve got no reason to. But using such High ranked Genjutsu on a person could warrant an crazy response.”


And by the time I was finished so were my seals, my hands would drop to my side while awaited the girls response.

Sharingan 3

Kunai right hand

[Riku]

There was a pause during which Hikaru was sure that everything had worked properly, however she would soon feel fear as the genjutsu was broken without the use of Kai. That could only mean one of three things: this guy had a biju, sharingan, or byakugan. The first and the last option were highly unlikely especially since she hadn't seen (heard) any change in appearance. This guy had to be an uchiha, or at least possessed a version of the sharingan capable of disrupting her high level genjutsu.

Upon realizing this, she was overcome with a sense of fear so great that she gasped and took a few steps back. She had only met a few uchiha before and every last one of then was obsessed with taking other clan members' eyes. She then realized that this guy had no way of knowing she was an uchiha so everything would hopefully be alright.

After her gasp, there was an awkward moment where she stuttered the phrase, "n..n...no I'm quite done with genjutsu," somewhat fearing an attack since the guy had performed handseals. There really wasn't anything she could do if he had sharingan or any advanced genjutsu canceling method. Her taijutsu was shit and her only ninjutsu was chidori which was pretty damn useless unless it was paired with taijutsu.

"So, uh, what brings you to these parts? I thought this area was off limits due to the booming tiger population?"

[iseelanden]

‘Good.’ I thought for a moment as she still stood there with that blindfold on, I wasn’t sure why she still had it on and it was starting to bother me quite a bit. But once I could see the fear in the girls demeanor I figured she wasn’t up too much, I would slide my kunai back into my bag as the girl began to speak. I wasn’t going to just attack her, I had no reason too that wasn’t the type of person I was. And to add to the fact she had seemed to be struck with fear as if she was seeing a ghost, it made me wonder what exactly was wrong with her. ‘Lack of confidence?’ I thought for a moment as I looked over her form once more using my Sharingan, and from the looks of it she was quite talented with the different elements that she had access to.

“Why’re you scared, and take that shit off your eyes.... I’m not about to hurt you. That’s not what I’m about ya know?”

I would say as my Sharingan remained active I wasn’t sure on how I was going to approach this situation but I knew it wasn’t stable yet, I would place my hands to my pockets as the girl stood a couple of meters away from my self.

“And I’m here because this is my training spot, I don’t appreciate you trying to kill your self here that’s not cool. And it’s it’s certainly not a way to take your self out this world, how about you tell me a little about your self.

I would say to the girl while awaited her actions.

Sharingan III

Hikaru walked up and pushed the man on the ground. There was nothing he could do about it now. Hikaru bent down to loot the body but there was no loot and his eyes were missing. Oh well.
