Tenkuu sat on the couch watching her mothers favorite tv show. The Love and the Loveless. It was a very dramatic tv show and she wished she'd had more time with her mother to watch it. But that was all over. Sighing she watched in silence. This no longer felt like home. She wished she could run from all this pain but it wouldn't cease to exist no matter how far she ran. It'd always be there, haunting her.

Starring at the ceiling she wondered where Sukai was. She'd fixed something for him to eat and everything, but he wasn't even there. Sighing again she closed her eyes. "Why mom, why didn't I stop your death?" She asked silently. Raising her arm into the air she let it drop back onto the couch and began to cry. "It's not far, nothing's the same without you. No one comes around anymore, no one ever speaks, the Stealth is death! And it's all your fault. You should have let him die that day, but you were too nice," she cried out. "It shouldn've been you, why'd it have to end like this."

She stood up and walked into the kitchen. "Me and Sukai were motherless from the beginning and now we're alone again!" She slammed her hand on the counter. "I can't do this anymore, i just can't." She cried as she slid to the floor tears streaming down her cheeks. "I can't handle this anymore, it's not a home anymore. It's just a reminder of your death, of all the things we've lost."

Wipping her face she thougt about all the good times she'd had with Jaymaru but the sight of her dying kept interrupting and all the things she'd left behind. Her real kids Jay and Sky, her adoopted kids Tenkuu and Sukai, even her brother Rumiko, her grandchild Kai. She'd left so much, she didn't even think about them before she risked her life. Before she threw it away!

Tenkuu continued to sob even after someone knocked on the door and knocked somemore until they opened the door. She counld't hear much after that over her constant sobs of pain, hate, and lonelyness.

Estser had knocked on the door like twelve times. She'd come to ask the Kage of the Stealth something about training a a kid, but she couldn't if the girl didn't answer the door. With a sigh she opened it cautiously and then walked in hearing a sob she saw the girl crying. She was suprised at how young she was. She bent down and patted her on the back. "Hey, what's wrong," she asked softly.

Momoshiro looked at Tenkuu's house and saw a girl enter, he walked over and looked through the door to make sure it was safe, he didn't know that girl and he needed to make sure it was safe. Suddenly, he noticed the sound of Tennkuu's crying, he suddenly became extremely worried and walked straight into the house, next to Tenkuu. "What's wrong Tenkuu?" Momo's voice was soft and gently, yet worried underneath.

(Sorry for this long delay on the post. BTW Momoshiro report to the Kage's temple please, I'd hate for you to get demoted.)

Tenkuu looked up at Ester. The fire red haired girl was asking her what was wrong and then seconds later there was her boyfriend Momo. She wipped her face and sniffed. "I'm okay," she said. "Just venting is all," she said witha small smile. She stood up. "Thanks for caring," she said. She looked at Ester. "I'm Tenkuu, nice to meet you."
