Last night Masayo fell asleep pretty fast once she hit her soft and freshly washed bed and blue colored pillow. She slept so good up until a bad dream came knocking on her door. The nightmare she had was about her past as a child. When she srill was in the orphanage. She saw all the empty faces staring at her, but the thing that made Masayo creeped out the most was that the faces began to melt away when Masayo tried to look at them. At one point in her tormented imagination, every one had no face left. Once that happened they all stood up at the same time and were walking toward the little Masayo when she was still a child. She got surrounded by every other child or caretaker. Until they all made her vision black. Then Masayo felt this feeling as if she was falling into an unlimited hole in the ground, but first she got sucked into her bed and than she fel in the darkness.

With a shock she woke up and her heart was pumping. Why did she dream such awful thing? A sigh came from Masayo her throat through and left her body with her mouth as exit. She pushed herself up and leaned her head against the only wall with cloth on it. The wall was soft amd had a shade of blue as color. She looked at the sky via her window amd saw the night's heavenly body still shining with pride high up in the air. Another disapionted sigh came from her throat as she new she had to fall alseep once more, hoping she did not had to face that terrible bad dream of hers.

Masayo lay her head back on her soft and good smelling pillow after she put some music on to relax her. Than a good night rest could finally start.

Masayo!" A voice yelled the girl out of her better dream. "Wake up, sleepy head!" The voice yelled again. Masayo her green hued eyes flustered open as the voice woke her up. Her eyes quikly scanned the room and saw a green haired man leaning against the doorway. The kimono he weared was dark blue. It looked like he just had a shower since his hair was drenched. "Good morning, Renji..." The soft voice of the sweet Masayo responded when her eyes saw Renji standing there. She moved her way up to the drenched man and gave him a hug. "Hope you had a great night just like me." The 18 year old girl said sarcastically to the person who adopted her. 

Masayo had told Renji about her nightmare and all he could do was nod. It was hsrd to explain a dream since almost no know knew how dreams worked. All the adult man said to her adopted daughter was that she was still bothered by her past, but she fully denied that. "Anyway, i should go to the mission." With that Masayo left the house with her rapier. The mission consisted out of cathing some pigs that a idiotic farmer accidently let loose. It was also forbidden to hurt the pigs. She first went to look in the city and kept her ears sharp for any suspicious noise.

Finally Masayo saw a small pig. As she was running after it to catch the quite fast piglet, she saw a person accidently stepping in feont of her. Or was it Masayo that stepped in front of her. That didn't matter but the two would collide together if none would stop. Masayo just noticed it in the corner of here eye that they were probably going to bump in one other.

The night she laid her head down. So long. It had been such a long while since she had lain in this bed. Five years. When she had gotten home that day she had unlocked the door and walked into a musty dust filled apartment. No one had been there in five years, so, she had no doubt of it being hers. She had spent hours cleaning her home from top to bottom. Sweeping and mopping the floors, dusting every little nook and cranny, washing the bed mats; pillows, blankets and sheets as well as all of her clothes. Her clothes... She hadn't wore those clothes since she had left the village hidden in the mist... Kiri... All it reminded her off was pain and hurt. Bullies, all of them at school, taking advantage of her blindness, yanking her hair, shoving her, throwing things at her...

"Haha! Watch me make her cry!" The ring leader had said as he threw a heavy hard backed dictionary at the pale blonde girl, the class giggling as the loud thud resounded when the book forced the air out of her lungs. She had just been carrying her books, bothering no one when he started it yet again. He stood over her now, bearing down on her fragile form. "You'll never be anything but a freak. You're just a stupid little blind girl. You'll never be anything!" He said as he reached down grabbed a handful of her soft pale hair and yanked her up by it. She cried out in pain, clutching at her scalp as a tear fell down her cheek.

"Look at her! She's crying again! What a little cry baby; what can't take a hit you baby~?" A girl chimed in, wicked voice curled with a grin of sadistic laughter. "A real shinobi is best friends with pain. You're nothing~." The boy dropped Himi, letting her fall to the ground, her reflexes not fast enough to catch her face from slamming against the ground. She could feel it, today her nose would be bleeding again, a new bruise on her cheek and eyebrow... All of it hurt so much, physically, mentally and emotionally. Bullied at school, only to come home to a mother that wanted her dead, a mother that beat her unconscious nearly every night. Why couldn't someone like her? Why wouldn't anyone be nice to her? She had done nothing wrong, all she did was sit there quietly in class.... But they all made jokes about her, they all laughed at her, and when the teacher had her back turned? They threw things and hit her. Not even the teacher believed her, the teacher didn't even think that she was cut out to be a kunoichi...


Snap back to reality. She was holding old clothes in her arms... She'd donate these clothes to an orphanage or some sort of goodwill foundation. She didn't want them anymore, they held too many emotions, too many bad memories. They didn't fit her anymore either. Since wearing these clothes she had matured into a woman. She had a full chest, wide hips and plump bottom. These clothes couldn't possibly fit her anymore.

So that was what she had done. Walking out of her apartment, she held a large bag full of clothes on her left arm. Down the stairs, down the street... She gave her fine ao dais and kimonos to the girl's orphanage of Kumogakure, looks of awe and thanks given to her as she left.

But... Wait... What was that? Did she hear a pig running around? What was that thumping? She felt someone run right into her, knocking her into the ground. She looked up with wide, very surprised eyes that were bright with confusion. "Uh... Excuse me?" She rattled out in her shocked but gentle voice.

Just before the two persons collided into each other, Masayo could just let out one word, "Damn!" she yelled with worried eyes looking right at the other girl. Stopping was inavoidable. As Masayo fell on her well shaped bum, a little cry of pain left her throat. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming." The 18 year old raven said with a worried look staring at the other person. With her muscles and tendons working together she got up and her head spinned a bit. "Uhh... Excuse me?" The other female said with eyes that were filled with a puzzled look. A hand stretched in front of the blonde girl waiting to be grabbed for help. How did Masayo not notice her? She was probably too busy watching the piglet that now was enjoying its freedom, but not for long. "I'm really sorry, i was concentrating on the pig. It's for a mission so i want to get it done and pretty quick. I'm Masayo from the Yamamoto clan, by the way." A smile could be seen on her facial expressiom as she was looking at the blond girl.

(OOC: Sorry, it is very short o-o)

"Damn!" She had heard the other girl exclaim as she was knocked into the ground. Himitsu blinked several times as she took the girl's hand and stood up, brushing the dirt off of her backside. At least she hadn't been carrying anything of higher value on her person when she was knocked about. Sighing she heard the girl explain that she was chasing some pigs down for a mission.

Well, if this girl needed help, she would offer her own help. Smiling softly, she spoke. "A mission? I could try to help out if you want~ Though, I'm not sure how much help I'll be."

Turning to the direction that she had heard the piglet run off in she spoke again, "Come on! Missions have time frames, let's get this done quickly."

A smile appeared on Masayo her facial expression as the girl said she wanted to help. The 18 year old girl gave a nod, "Let's do this then!" Masayo grinned at the person and began to walk in the dire tion of the pig sounds. "And of course you will be of help. I will need all the help i to catch these freedom enjoying pigs." The just as Masayo turned around to look at the blond haired girl to say something else, a pig ran right through her legs. "That was a pig, right? Damn it!" A irritated sigh left Masayo her lips.

"What was you're name again? Or do you just want me to call you blondy for the rest of the mission?" The female snickered and then moved her body 180° to spot the pig that ran just between her legs. With a push from her feet Masayo ran behind the pig. The pig was quite fast but had made a big mistake on going into a dead end street. "Here piggy piggy piggy. Don't worry, i'm not the big scary wolf who blowed your little house away. I'm just the big scary woman who wants to put you back in your house." Masayo could not not laugh at her own joke, even tough itwan't that funny at all.

Sounds came from the closed street, but it all suddenly stopped. A few seconds later Masayo came running to the blondy that she had captured one of the three pigs. "Looks like we only need two more to find. Let's get going, blondy."

[1/3 pigs captured]

"Please don't call me blondie. My name is Himitsu." she replied in a quiet but firm voice. She disliked that thought, the thought of being given a nickname because of her hair colour. It made her feel like she was being shoved into the blonde stereotype. She was not a moronic stupid pretty-girl. Glaringly, she nodded and proceeded to look around for a pig. Following her sense of hearing, she tracked down a piglet, trying to get between people in the politest of ways possible. She was a polite person, she didn't shove and push to get by. She was not one of the dregs of society.

Down an alleyway she went. Finally she had chased that little trouble making piglet to a dead end, bending down, she scooped it up into her arms before emerging from the alley and running right into the last piggy. Seeing that she hands were full, she began chasing the pig back to masayo. "Masayo-san, catch the last pig!" she said, somewhat short on breath. She wasn't used to having to move around and carry this much weight. After all, she had just recently gotten out of the hospital. Her muscles, though a lot better than before, were still weaker than they should have been.

Masayo found it admirable that she came up for herself, making sure, Masayo wouldn't call her blondie anylonger. The Yamamoto quickly looked around when Himitsu called out to catch the last pig. The little animal was running around like a wild one. Luckily for Masayo this piggy got stuck in a small bush. The raven haired girl felt kinda sad for her small buddy. "C'mon boy, i'll get you home." Masayo said while fishing the piglet out of the plants.

"That last one went really smooth. Smoother that I thought it would. I'm glad this is over. I don't like screaming pigs. It sounds like they're in pain." Masayo said with the pig in her arms. She smiled at her mission partner and nodded. "It was really nice for you to help me. I hope we can do it again sometime." The girl waved her partner goodbye and left off, bringing the pigs back to their home.
