Jaymaru's soul sadly wondered through the darkest parts of the open. Her head was bowed as she missed the joys of life. Eveything seemed so dull in colors of black and white. Tears rolled down her cheeks because she'd lost everything and would soon be forgotten.

The wind blew but she couldn't feel it's cold. When rain poured down it seeped right through her soul. Nothing was the same and never would be. Death was a terrible thing. She soon stopped as she came upon a tree and sat to rest even though nothing was ever tiring except for her death.

<<xantrex was wandering around the forest thinking about the battle. he still hadn't rested since it though. while walking, he stopped, seeing a transparent Jutsumaster>> am i seeing things? <<he thought, then walked a little closer>> no, she's definitely there...but...how can i see her? <<he stopped in front of her>> hello. <<he tilted his head to the side a little, still wondering how he could see her spirit>>

Jutsu looked at Xantrex. "Hi," she said in nothing more than a sad whisper. He can see me, I thought Luko was the only one who could see ghost. Nice to know people can see those who will soon be forgotten.

<<xantrex looked around, then leaned against a tree and looked at jutsumaster, hardly any emotion showing>> i realize death is a sad thing, and you have every right to be depressed about it. <<he said in a voice still with little emotion in it. he adds sympathetically>> but, don't think that you'll be forgotten. you were a great leader, a great fighter, and an even better companion to those who knew you. you won't be forgotten. <<realizing he was being a bit too.....emotional, if you will, he looked off to the side>> nobody's gonna forget you. if anything, you'll go down in history.

Jutsu just sighed. "Sure." She still wasn't feeling any better. Death was bitter thing and wrong. I should have been more careful before using that jutsu. What was I thinking. She replayed the scene in her mind. Itachi was trapped by Ruka and close to death when she just moved and the next thing she knew she was on the ground dying. She sighed again.

<<xantrex looked at jutsu>> of all the people i've ever faced, she seems most at trouble with death. You did what you had to. And listen, i'm sure other people feel the same way about this. others died too. <<he looked off to the side, silent for a couple moments>> you protected one of your friends from another. in essence you saved a life that would have otherwise been taken. and...i'm not trying to be cruel when i say this....someone would have died trying to stop the fight. who would you rather it have been? <<after saying this, he looked straight at jutsu>>

Jutsu glared at Xantrex without meaning to. Old jutsu sunk in and she dryly said. "Itachi was not my friend." She then instantly felt bad. "Sorry, I sort of snapped there," she said quietly. "I'd rather it have been me than one of my friends."

(xantrex looked at Jutsu an tilted his head a bit, and gave a quiet smile>> you got quite excited over the mention of Itachi. why?

Jutsu looked at Xantrex. "It's nothing, people just think me and him are friends. When i was still alive we would fight alot, like sisters and brothers. I have no blood in the Akatsuki except Suri," she said trying not to sound cold.

i see. you fought like brother and sister? then you must've got along at some point, right? (he asked, getting a little curious about this now) maybe not often, but at some point, right? (he figured she might snap at this question, but with xantrex, nothing could really get in his way if there was something he wanted to know)
