"What Rei, going to kill me, go ahead, I'm already dead." he said, his deep voice holding a dead like tone that party true to how he felt most days. But just as quickly as it came, the blade dropped to the pillow and Rei, as if the fight suddenly just left her body, collasped on his chest and started to sob. Wraping her up in his arms, Draruto held her through the night till she cried herself to sleep. Minutes passed before he removed Rei's kunai from the pillow. Draruto gingerly laid Rei on the bed as he stood up and stretched. Rolling his shoulders he left the room, needing to get away from the heaviness he and Rei created in that room.
Entering the living room just as the sun streaked in, Draruto grabbed his combat gear, which included a oversized dragon wind shurikin and a nodaichi. Deciding to not wait for the others in his house he accepted a long distance escort/recon mission to the Hidden Sand village. Leaving the house, he used the rooftops to depart the Leaf unseen. Bounding rapidly through the trees Draruto started his process of burying his recent emotions behind the wall his nine tailed dragon provided. He was thankful his beast was more understanding than Naruto's, because all the extra shit in his life would have drove to kill everybody sooner than Pain's attempt not so long ago. "Move on Shogun." he told himself, shaking his head. But he was tired of doing the same dance around with Rei. They sleep in the same room, on opposite sides of the bed, and he holds her as she sobs uncontrollably. 'It gets old, fast.' Draruto mused, side leaping a falling tree.
