She never wanted this...but it had been pushed onto her. She had never want to leave the village, her home...or maybe she did. She could still feel their eyes on her, those cold eyes, eyes of hatred. And then, the eyes that were missing. Those were the ones she couldn't feel, as she'd never been able to feel them. Her father. Endo.
Midori sighed. She had left, and there was no going back for her, just as there never had been. Two years, and she had nothing. No leads, no clues, just a picture of her mother and brother, whom no one seemed to be able to recognize. And without any sort of official sanction from Kagegakure, no Kage or Feudal Lord would hear her out or help her. There was one village left for her to visit though.
Kirigakure. She hadn't tried the Hidden Mist yet, and who knew...they may be willing, or someone may have seen her family.
The gate was lightly guarded, and it was easy to get in, too. Midori wandered around the village keeping her head down. And still she heard the whispers. Perhaps it had been a mistake to bring Kikiyo with her. The white fox trailed along after her, for the most part keeping silent, but occasionally said hello to passersby. Most simply said it back or ignored her, but a few looked at the fox like it was an alien. They weren't used to hearing an animal talk, it would seem.
And then, she was surrounded. By punks. Lowlifes, they seemed to have recognized her, and thought to attack, perhaps? She really wasn't that interested. Kikiyo paced in a circle around her legs, while Midori stood still, her head and eyes still downcast.
"I suggest you all leave me be. I don't want any sort of trouble."
One of them said something. But Midori didn't bother listening. She was already attacking. Within the space of a few seconds, all her assailants were lying on the ground, some foaming at the mouth, but all of them alive, with Midori and Kikyo walking away like nothing had happened. Maybe coming here hadn't been such a good idea.
