Rinkei
D-rank
Waking up in the middle of the night was irritating to Rinkei, but she had been doing it for the longest time, that she was sort of used to it. However, this time she woke up with her mind racing, and her body shaking.
She couldn't take it any longer.
Rinkei had only been a Shinobi for a short amount of time, but she could already tell that staying in Konaha was not going to allow her to become too much more stronger. She had to go somewhere else.
The idea of leaving Konaha was scary, and difficult at the same time. Scary because she hadn't ever been out of the village besides to go to her favorite spot right outside of the walls. Difficult because Genin weren't allowed to leave the village alone. Rinkei wasn't about to wait to get an escort though, she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Rising quickly, but quietly from her bed, Rinkei went to start packing. She was only going to bring the essentials for the journey. She could acquire new painting supplies at a later time. Besides, once she got to where she wanted to go, she wouldn't have time at all to paint, she wanted to train until she dropped.
Throwing on some clothes, she tiptoed toward her open window. With her shirt still halfway over her head, she slung her now full backpack outside of the window and watched as it dropped to the ground. She was on the first floor, so she wasn't worried about making a lot of noise by sneaking out. After she got the shirt over her head, she turned around and gazed at her room one last time. She was probably never going to see that place again, she probably wouldn't even step foot back into Konaha again. The fear intensified, but she wasn't going to back down.
Hopping out of the window, she scooped up her backpack and slung it across her shoulder. Rinkei started dashing down the street when she remembered something. Katara... She had just met the girl the other day, and she had made a promise to herself that she would visit the girl again. Rinkei wasn't about skipping out on promises. So she made a detour.
~~
Rinkei remembered the location of the Senju household with ease, so she wasn't surprised when she arrived there so quickly. The only problem was finding Katara's room, she didn't want to walk up to the door in the middle of the night and ask politely to see if their child could play, that was weird. She supposed climbing through her window and speaking to her was just as weird, if not more weird, but she didn't care. She wanted to see her friend.
Rinkei circled the house looking through all of the windows until she found Katara's room. Luckily the window was open and she could climb through it easily.
Climbing up on the window sill, Rinkei plopped down in a sitting position and eyed the sleeping girl. "I hope you don't hate me for this..." She whispered under her breath. Rinkei then knocked lightly on Katara's wall, loud enough for the girl to hear, but quiet enough that it wouldn't bother the rest of the household. "Wake up sleepy head" She said quietly to Katara across the room on her bed.
Rinkei was fully intending to convince the girl of going with her after she thought about it more. She knew for a fact that she could not just leave her one and only friend in Konaha. Especially since the village was so weak. Katara wanted to grow as a Shinobi as well, she could tell when she met her at the hot springs. Please come with me...
