So, here's the next chap



° Yes, that's how it was. The next day we moved straight to Konho-gakure, into this little house. The village was very sunny, not like in Kiri.
I used to love the sunshine, I would certainly have liked the village more, but now? No, since the death of my team mates and father's departure, I have loved the dark and the cold, as it was mostly in Kiri. I didn't have any problems with the fog either, as I can see "heat rays" with my Kekkai-genkai, similar to a snake. So I can only hope that it rained in the village behind the leaves from time to time. °
° I had to think of Kiri again ... of the team. It stung my heart. I was so cowardly, I just ran away ...
I could at least have buried her, but no, I ran away like a frightened rabbit. Maybe they are still there today and they would never have their last rest ... they could all still rot.° Again the picture appeared before my eyes. I shook my head, wanting the picture to go away and it helped ... but now I had the picture of father in my head. ° Why did he leave us? Did he care so much?
He always seemed so happy, was it all just an act? But why would he do that? Do we really mean nothing to him? °
My eyes started burning again. ° No! You mustn't cry! This is a sign of weakness! I have to be strong for my family now! For my still too young brother! For my abandoned mother! I have to be there for you! °. Finally the burning stopped.
"RAN! Ready to eat!". I was torn from my thoughts and wistfully strolled down the creaky stairs and slurped a little dejected to the dining table, where my mother and brother had already taken their seats. ° Maybe the food will distract me a little .. ° I hoped.
My brother shifted impatiently in the chair and waited for my mother to finally start praying.She smiled, but I saw how sad she actually was. Then she finally started praying and my brother joined in, but I didn't. ° What for? I loved to pray when I was happy, but now? I haven't done anything bad and am I being punished like this? Then why should I still pray ... °. There was ready-made noodle soup because my mum didn't have time to go shopping. They all ate them up. I said thank you for the food, got up, said I was going to get some fresh air and disappeared from the house before my mother could protest.
It was still night and at least then it was pleasantly cool in Konoha. I strolled through the dimly lit streets, looked at the full moon in the sky and sighed sadly. ° Tomorrow I will have to go to the Hokage, there I will be assigned to a new team ... °. I didn't want a new team, if something happened to them, I would never forgive myself. I have made up my mind not to forge close friendships, as a loss would not do me any good.I arrived at a park and sat down on the nearest bench. For two days I have loved the darkness, it was so beautiful and mysterious, but maybe I only liked it because I was still hoping that someone would take me around the corner and that that would be more likely in the dark.
I grinned at myself ° What thoughts I have ... ° and shook my head. I activated my Kekkai-Genkai and looked around.
Just a couple of squirrels and a stray cat. ° Hm .. then probably no murder in the dark ... °. Then the cat came up to me. She stopped at my feet and meowed at me. She seemed completely black, with green eyes. I looked down at her questioningly and she snuggled up against my legs. Finally I picked her up, scratched her behind the ear and she started purring. I smiled. My first smile since the terrible experience. After a while I put her down - she gave a grumble - and made my way home.Strangely enough, she followed me. I had to smile again, there was something about the cat. I got home and the cat still didn't leave my side.
° Do I smell like food? °. There were no more lights on. ° You must have gone to sleep ... °. So I opened the door and the Neko slipped in, I followed right behind. She's already waiting in the hallway. I thought my part and went up to my room, followed by cat, changed my clothes and sat on the bed. The cat lay down with me. It didn't bother me too much, but I opened the window so she could leave anytime. But again she started purring and curled up on my bedspread and seemed to fall asleep. After a while I fell into a rare peaceful sleep.


So that's it ...
