"RURIKA !! COME BACK ON THE SITE !!" It was a morning like any other. Shouts echoed through Konohagakure.
It was the best time of the year. The spring, everything was warm. everything was encased in a sunny cover. It was all so perfect.
"Rurika .. * pant * You should come to the Hokagen immediately .." Rurika only looked briefly at the Jo-Nin then she was on her way. Arrived at the temple (? Sorry don't know how to call it XD?) She immediately went into the hall.
The door opened. The young girl entered. The Hokage was already waiting for them. Rurika wore her Konoha headband on her right upper arm.
Her long, light brown hair was tied together. Her blue eyes were cool and strong. A top and shorts adorned her elegantly built body. "Ah Rurika. There you are!" the Hokage called out to her. Rurika stepped closer and crossed her arms. Her look and her expression didn't change. "Rurika you are the best of the year I would like to upgrade you to Jo-Nin.What do you make of it? "He smiled pleasantly." I beg your pardon? I don't need help. I can do the Jo-Nin exam alone! "With that she left. Yashiro, Rurika's Sensai just shook his head.

"Difficult girl .." Yashiro purred. Yondaime watched her go. This girl really wasn't easy. Well ... you can partly understand it. "Tell me about your past!" the Hokage ordered without looking up. Yashiro nodded briefly. "Rurika Matsunai. Her parents died early because she was just 2. She lived with her uncle until she was 8. He kept beating her. Until she couldn't take it anymore and killed him. The rest of the time she grew up alone. She is very talented and strong. But very, very lonely. She often has to be disappointed that she closes her heart so much. "Yondaime followed the story very closely. 'The poor girl ..' he just thought to himself. 'Why do they all treat me differently ..? Does he think I can't take the exam or what? 'Rurika was angry.It excited her that people kept coming up to her and wanted to talk to her. That sucks. She was deep in thought.
When she was on the way home. She discovered a small group of children trampling flowers in a meadow.
“Hey you there! Stop that!” The children turned in their direction. After a moment, they fled. Rurika went closer. She knelt in front of the flowers and gently piled them on top of each other. She undid her hair and tied the flowers with it.

"You poor. So one pays you thanks that you bring us so much joy. In spring one looks at you and in winter you don't care about people .. How naive of us .." she said softly. She replanted the flowers where there were still roots. She carefully wiped the dirt off the flowers. Suddenly it clicked. Then the noise was gone. Rurika didn't take it and went home with the flowers in her arms. The next morning the Hokage went to see the Konohagakure photographer.He just loved taking photographs of plants, animals, etc. The photographs of plants were the best. They radiate so much heat.
"Good morning honorable Hoakge!" the photographer came towards him: "Tomorrow. Do you have anything new for me?" he gave a short laugh. "Something completely new. Take a look at this. You will like it!" The photographer gave him the picture. His eyes widened. "wow .." he whispered briefly. His throat was dry. He couldn't get a word out. This picture cast a strange spell on him.
"Hard to believe, right? But that's Rurika." said the photographer. The picture was just kawaii. The photographer had photographed her when she was gently cleaning the flowers. The light is also very cheap. The picture exuded so much warmth and passion. If only Rurika would be like that with him. Or if she would at least smile. That would be something really nice. Her smile looks great ... I think it will be fun to laugh with her. Such questions kept coming into his mind.Yes, even in the evening this left him no peace. Again and again his thoughts wandered to this one photo of Rurika.

He really needs to talk to Rurika. A dress would definitely suit her too. She had the character for it. "Rurika .." he gasped softly. The next morning he was determined to talk to Rurika. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. A light warm wind blew through Konohagakure. Rurika woke up. Tired, she dragged herself into the bathroom and got ready. It was time for the ministry again. 'Shit ..' she thought and tied her hair up. She left her apartment sleepily when she hit something soft. She straightened her head. It was the Hokage. He smiled. “Good morning Rurika!” Rurika was surprised. She didn't expect Yondaime to stand for her door. 'What does he want from me in the early morning ..?' she thought to herself. "Tomorrow .." she replied softly. He grinned wider. "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" and his grin grew even wider.'My goodness how can ma grin like that early in the morning ..?' she wondered. After a few seconds, she grimaced. "Thank you no. No interest." she said in a firm voice and walked past him. He looked after her disappointed. "Don't worry. How many times do you think I've been disappointed?" With these words she left. Like every day, she messed around with the D or C orders. 'The same thing every day ... it's getting boring ...' she thought to herself. she sighed. The service was over and Rurika made her way home. Well, she didn't need to hurry, no one waited for her anyway.

The sky turned dark gray. Thick clouds came up. It started to rain slowly. After a few minutes the rain became so thick that you could hardly see anything. The wind was cool. She went her way alone. Her gaze was fixed on the floor. She stopped for a moment. Lillien stood under a tree with their heads drooping because of the rain. The Lillien looked sad.Images of her parents wafted into her head. Her parents were both very fond of flowers. She could still remember that. But then shame everything. She immediately suppressed the images of her parents. 'That's missing right now that I'm crying now ..' she mumbled softly. She went on stubbornly. Sadness, love, hate, friendship are all just feelings that stand in the way of a ninja. She kept telling herself not to get weak. A person's shadow made their thoughts disappear. "You..?" Rurika asked incredulously. "What does he want again .." she sighed inwardly. The Hokage stood across from her and looked at her with a loving face.
His gaze was gentle. She turned her head away and walked coolly past him. "It's okay if you let feelings into Rurika. It's okay if you're not strong. Nobody says anything against it. We just want to help you. You can also cry if you feel like it. The human soul." needs a hug every now and then.Everyone needs friends .. even you Rurika .. "She stood still. She shivered. Her head was bowed. A faint whimper could be heard. The Hokage turned to her. Slowly he walked towards her. She knew exactly what he meant to say, "I am strong. I don't need such feelings. I can do just fine on my own! "Two strong arms grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace. The rain stopped slowly." You are strong. But you also need a person to lean on. Everyone needs something like that. "He continued gently. Small tears ran down her flushed cheeks. A very low" Thank you. "Left her mouth. It could hardly be heard. However, he heard it exactly.

The rain stopped completely. The moon showed its full splendor. Yondaime brought Rurika home. When she got to her, she was about to open the door when she turned around again. "Thanks again." she whispered. It was hard to get over her lips. After all, she wasn't used to it. "It's okay. So?" Again he grinned broadly.“How about dinner tonight, huh?” Rurika took a deep breath. "Okay .." she sighed. It would have been pointless to say no. He would have remained stubborn anyway. So just go through it and then that's it. "Fine! Then this evening at 8 o'clock. Oh, by the way, please remember!" he pressed a package into her arm that he had fetched from under his coat. She looked puzzled. "Put that on! See you later!" and he was gone. 'What did I get myself into ...' She first went in. Immediately she took a hot shower. She hung up the wet things to dry. Then she slowly got ready. Rurika took the dress and put it on. Well, it didn't look that bad. It was light blue with a cutout. To tie up. She combed her hair a few times until it looked like it was made of silk. The hair lies elegantly on her shoulder. The eyes were made up discreetly. The lips were translucent. She took a chain from the drawer and put it on.The necklace was from her mother. Then it was about time and Rurika set off.

Arrived at the meeting point. She discovered him immediately. Well don't be surprised ...
"Eve." she spoke softly. The Hokage turned around. His eyes widened. Rurika looked just perfect. She even smiled gently. So it helped to talk to her like that. "Rurika .. you look beautiful .." flatters. She looked totally different. He didn't really know what to say. His throat was totally dry. She was just ... he couldn't find the words. Dinner was calm. Nobody dared to say anything. It was quiet. When the evening came to an end, the Hokage accompanied Rurika home. The night was fresh and cool. Now and then he looked down at her. “Lillien!” Rurika shouted and ran to the flowers. She sat on the meadow. The lilies smelled fresh and beautiful. Raindrops pearled down from the blossoms. Slowly the Hokage followed and sat next to her. "If you continue to sit around like this you will catch a cold Rurika-chan!"She straightened up again." Oh what .. "
The moon shone brightly. It showed itself in its full glory. Rurika bent her legs and wrapped her arms around them. Something warm wrapped itself around her shoulders. “Otherwise you'll really catch a cold!” The Hokage smiled gently. "You seem to love flowers very much, huh?" he asked further. "My mother had already loved her. But my father was just the same. They always said the most beautiful flowers are those that only show their
