Alone in a World Full of Many. [[open]]

[Ogata Rinsaku]

Searching inside oneself is often said to be hard to do. For the mind of a person is as vast and unexplicable as the galaxies combined. People thought and felt things differently than those around them. They were created that way, and elaborating on that was on a new level. A higher level that Rinsaku didn't want to delve into. Digging into her own mind was hard enough because it took her no where. She was always left in the same spot. Stuck in the world of a many thoughts and few answers. And that's all she really wanted were the answers. Was it that hard of a question to ask and recieve?

Answers about the world around her. The people that resided in it, herself included, and even deeper.

Rinsaku stopped suddenly, shifting her position in the tall grass, she'd gone too far. Now being incomprehenisble, even to herself. She lay her head back down. Being completely hidden in the tall, dark blades of grass was comforting to her. They were cool around her and the breeze shook them, causing her hair to move with it. Rinsaku sighed. Her eyes traced out the dull yellow of the crescent moon that hung quietly above her. Small flickers of the stars danced around it. It truly was a nice night, Rinsaku blinked, realizing that she'd never really noticed how nice Getsu really was. Compared to her old home...

She missed her old home. So much that it left a hollow ache in her chest. The rain had always comforted her. Their soft effects brought nostalgia. It had been the only place she felt she belonged, but she'd only been a child then. Sixteen now, Rinsaku was lost. On a path, yet blinded. Searching for the rest of her family eventually lead her here, to Getsu. To say the least, it was the closest she'd felt to 'home'.

Bringing herself back to reality, Rinsaku sat up and looked around her, her head was the only part of her visible in the tall blades. She'd ventured about half a mile off the road, where faint lights flickered in the distance, signaling its presence. Standing up now, Rinsaku brushed the grass of her arms, making them slightly itchy. All through the night, the moon shone brightly. It would easily lead her home. At it's mention, Rinsaku looked up toward the moon again. She put a gentle hand to her hip as previous thoughts entered her mind again.

No matter how many times she tried to escape it, the depths of her mind sucked her into an oblivion of ulitmate confusion...

[Yakuda Ayumi]

She had said it before and she would say it again.She liked the darkness.Knowing many people were afraid of the dark[[Villagers or the children]] made it even more fun.She felt the stars and moons shone on her.Like a reflection of her past.Sometimes she couldn`t tell the sinners from the saints.She had once been betrayed by a monk.Paying him several ryou and getting nothing.

The monk had been disposed of.It was the only thing to do.Ayumi sighed.She remembered when she could laugh,dance,and love like any human being.But it was to late.She had done to many things.She had regreted all of them.All human beings had their share of sins.But there was one thing she didn`t know wether or not would happen.Would Kami-sama forgive their sins or...what would happen to them?

Ayumi didn`t know and she didn`t want to.It was all just so...so frustrating.Ayumi looked at the stars.If the stars could love...why couldn`t they?Human`s were full of desturction and chaos.Why wouldn`t somebody just save them?

Ayumi sighed.It was all to much to think about.And why fill your head with thoughts when you could admire the stars?

And that`s what Ayumi did.She looked at them.Wondering wether or not,they`d ever stop shining.As Ayumi sat down she noticed another presense.Being an Jounin at 16 wasn`t what many people would expect.But right now Ayumi wasn`t thinking of her rank,she was thinking of why someone would be out this late.

As Ayumi walked toward the direction she noticed something twinkling in the stars.Ayumi shrugged it wasn`t of any importance right now.Ayumi then walked toward her destination,hoping to find something intresting...

[Ogata Rinsaku]

Rinsaku continued to look up at the moon. Her chin rising higher as she traced it's tip, following it to the stars. Head now all the way back, she looked at the stars. Eyes flicking back and forth between them all, trying to study all of them. A pin needle in her temple made her stop, for there were way too many for her studious mind. They were all too much for her to take in. The universe was a vast expanse filled with galaxies and stars and planets, all of which vexed her. How could anyone fully grasp the concept of the universe with out developing her pin needle head ache or going crazy? Rinsaku looked highly upon those that ventured and were even professionals at studying the stars. It would be something she could never do. Like before too many stars, and her hasty mind would want them all at once.

Rinsaku brought her head back down, now gazing upon the vast expanse of tall grass. It seemed to go on forever, Rinsaku cringed, she really needed to stop thinking about things too much. Right now, it was giving her a headache. One that she didn't want. Sighing, she didn't know what to do now. She'd wandered aimlessly, lately doing nothing but train for there were no missions being sent out. Eventually, she'd have to get out of here. Being in one spot for too long was making her feel lazy, besides she had her own mission to fill out. Rinsaku thought again. It was actually more like her duty, it was required to continue living purposefully. Putting a halt to that train of though, Rinsaku picked up another. She should be heading home now.

Turning in her spot, Rinsaku looked for the lanterns that marked the road. She'd found them, along with a rustle of grass not too far from it. Instantly, Rinsaku tensed. Her routine mind putting itself in play. Some one was coming. The grass moved quickly, telling Rinsaku they were course was set to her location. Leaving would be rude if it were someone who needed her so she stood there. A lazy hand rested on her hip, while the tips of her fingers dangling gently close to the button that opened the cache of kunai on her thigh. If, whoever was coming her way soon posed a threat, she'd be ready.

[Yakuda Ayumi]

Ayumi stopped moving and scolded herself.She was sure she had made much noise as she walked the grassy area.Ayumi knew she had been heard.It was that loud.She quickly moved forward and stood in front of the person.Ayumi adjusted her headband and slightly tilted her head.The girl was moon shinobi like herself.

"What are you doing out here?"Ayumi asked bluntly.

She wasn`t in the most greatest of moods.She then kicked a rock and sighed.This was all just so iratating.She observed the girl.It looked like she was about to go home,before she had heard the noise Ayumi had made.

"Gomenasai.I didn`t mean to interupt you."Ayumi apologized before turning around.

(Sorry it`s short I`m kind of busy)

[Ogata Rinsaku]

Rinsaku raised an eyebrow in response to the girl's first statement. She sure did get to the point and it slightly caught Rinsaku off guard. If there were to be a person to ask that particular question, it would be her. For the girl that had appeared through the grass had just made her entrance, while Rinsaku had been here. But it didn't really matter to her, Rinsaku could've cared less if the mysterious girl had greeted her normally or chewed her out. The latter would have annoyed her though. A lazy look of question etched its way into her features, Rinsaku could ask the same for her, but decided not to. It wasn't any of her business to get up in others. That often caused trouble, and it was rude to meddle unnecessarily.

Seeing as how the girl posed no immediate threat to Rinsaku now, she moved the tips of her fingers away from the cache on her thigh, though she was still tense. A routine mind like hers couldn't easily be stopped once it got moving. Her body straightened out now, standing tall. Truthfully, another presence came unexpectedly, but then again, life came with the unexpected. Rinsaku stood firmly, trying her best to hide her surprise. Rinsaku blinked lazily, studying the girl, trying to learn as much as she could in the few moments before she spoke.

The girl had dark hair, and dark eyes. They didn't speak of a good mood and Rinsaku felt her irritability in the girl's first statement. She had a Getsu headband on, making it obvious where she was from. The girl had also put her hand up to it, as if making sure of it's presence. A fellow Moon Ninja. She looked to be about the same age as Rinsaku. The girl kicked a rock, more irritability. Maybe something was bothering her? Rinsaku didn't understand actions as well as she did eyes, and this girl's eyes were kind of quiet.

She started turning around. Rinsaku had thought a moment too long. Rinsaku spoke, her voice an octave louder, "Think nothing of it, I wasn't doing anything of importance..."

Her eyes drifted down for a second, knowing that what she was doing out here was pretty childish.
