Lin had attacked the bandits, not knowing what she was in for. Her own chakra supply was small, her actions weak, but she knew that if she was going to face Gin again she would have to show her resolve. She had taken a look at the B ranked board and undertaken a mission from that list and someone turned up. It was an individual that she didn't know anything about. He had used jutsu that she didn't know existed and had picked apart the bandits. When Lin had been ready to attack he moved through them like a bullet through jelly. His attacks were a bit too fast for even her sharp eyes to follow. Her reaction time and perception only being at the top of the Kumogakure Genin at this time.

Her knees became weak as he turned to look at her. Perhaps he was there for the same reason. Why didn't she think to bring Dameon or Gin along? She swallowed, wearing her kunoichi outfit seemed... wrong?-- somehow it seemed wrong to wear something that made her a warrior in the face of such power.

"I was here to rescue the girl." She said after swallowing a couple of times. Her mouth seemed to have run dry and she had a hard time speaking above a whimper. It was worse than she had expected, the power difference between the two of them. He could probably snap her neck without breaking a sweat. The bandits would have been an almost impossible task for Lin, but this man had taken them on single-handedly.

"I'm from Kumogakure." She explained, putting her senbon away and looking incredulously at the man. She had no idea who he was, he certainly wasn't from Kumogakure, or if he was then he was someone that she didn't want to mess with. "Who are you?" She asked, not able to get a good look at his face so far. It wasn't surprising that she was sweating and trembling all over. The sheer power difference between the two of them was far too great.

Her own jutsu were just the basics. She had no idea how someone could become this strong. Then she thought of the match between Gin and the person known as Nozomi. Nodding to herself she could now see the full potential of someone that was about Nozomi's range of power. Scary indeed!

Terrified, she was a poor innocent genin. Tsuneo sooner than later realized that. He spoke to her "Calm. Down." A cold cruel tone attempting gentleness but failing at it. Tsuneo never was that good at bettering his tone. He snuck the centipede into the man's ears as the man went off in madness. Tsuneo waited for him to admit the truth. It didn't take long, the man crying in his own filthy tears resisted. Tsuneo began his interrogation.

"You might want to close your eyes..." The same cold tone, only now it grew deadlier. Tsuneo held the man's arm as he bit off one of his fingers chewed it and spat it in front of him. "I've eaten many many people fatter than you to the bone." Tsuneo cracked his finger before his whole interrogation began.

It took the boy mere seconds to come out with the truth and murder the man. He walked towards the girl, and as he was an inch away from her. A side of him that wishes he had the purity of her soul. He wore his glove in one hand and patted her head. "Good job." It wasn't because he thought she was dirty that he wore the glove. He wore the glove because he thought he was dirty. The blood of thousands drowns his hands. How could he ever hope to touch people ever again? People that are pure of blood.

Tsuneo spoke faintly 'good job' only because he was happy about her actions. It is good to be brave, and reckless. For the sake of others, and the ones you love. The tragic hero walked past her only to rush towards her and dash away with her. 

Five meters,

Five meters from the attacker, it was the pregnant woman. Tsuneo told her it was her last chance. The young man of nineteen years old spoke to the girl behind him "Stay here and don't be afraid. Stand your ground." He was proud of her courage and asked her to trust him. He disappeared and reappeared in a flash of a dash in front of a woman. Pushing her down from her shoulders to meet his knee in her face. He broke both arms in a strike and pinned her down with his foot on her head. "You tried to kill her." Tsuneo had enough he would kill the woman now, but he needed her. He turned to the girl Genin behind him and spoke: "Close your eyes..." He cut off the woman's arms and burned her wounds to avoid bleeding her to death.


The young man had the woman walk in front of him as he spoke to the Genin "Follow me if you still have the courage."

Lin had seen many things, this was not one of them. The man held a centipede that bored into the man's skull through his ear. She knew that it was a direct, more or less direct that is, path to the brain and that the man would be dead in mere seconds. She did not close her eyes. She was a medical ninja and would need to see far worse if she were to get anywhere in the ninja world. She would probably have to do far worse. She was still "Pure" as he thought, as in she had not killed anyone yet, but that was due to a deep-set phobia. What if the person were to rescind their actions, better themselves and the people around them? it seemed a waste of a life if she were to take it away. No, it was still better to watch this man's death, like she had the others than to leave him alone with this person.

She trembled a bit at the man's touch, as he had just mercilessly killed and maimed a lot of bandits in order to get to his goal of saving the girl. It was almost like being touched by a dark angel of sorts, the ones that doled out punishment for a higher purpose. They could be cruel, but he probably had a motive behind it. Hopefully he had a motive behind it. Lin gulped as he moved from Lin to the woman in a heartbeat.

"Don-" Was all she could get out before he broke her arms and she cringed from the sound. It sounded like wet tree branches breaking under a heavy snow, though she knew that this was someone's arm. She had broken ribs trying to do CPR before, and succeeding, but she had never broken bone before in a violent way. She preferred a neater way of doing things, the needles that she used were pin-point accurate and she was deadly with them. It didn't leave much of a mess and was easy to clean up after. No unnecessary force was needed for them either, so her frailty wasn't a liability. This man was all raw-power. His madness, or the side of him that was mad, was unrelenting.

Lin shook, she didn't know if it was from awe or fear of this man but she simply asked, "Who are you?" Her voice giving away the quake in her lip, the shudder in her jaw. She would go with him, as it would be better to do as he asked rather than not, but her legs felt like they were a different persons as she jogged toward him. The face she made was a mask for her feelings, feeling like someone was tugging a meat-mask into a smile. A smile that didn't quite match the awe and fear in her eyes.

WC: 912

He walked continuing, ignoring her question as to who he was. Tsuneo looked back at her and spoke "The less you know, the better." As he ended his sentence his eyes widened and he dashed full speed towards the girl and pushed her away with the woman, and as they were attacked by three shinobi Tsuneo Jumped up and in a flash broke their necks as they dropped dead. Tsuneo landed on his feet as the woman continued walking. Should the girl flee he would send a clone to watch her to safety, otherwise, he would take care of her till her mission ended.

"You shouldn't be here." He spoke. True he was happy that she was courageous but she was far too weak. The woman behind him was sending signals to the scouts, and in reply the man looked back and as his eye turned into it's usual monstrous appearance, his dark chakra overtook the whole area devouring it in darkness. It was a heavy dark chakra that would drop weaklings to their knees. The woman from terror alone triped and fell. He continued walking and ordered the woman to follow. Night came, and it was time to rest up.

Tsuneo lit fire ina  cave in which they all slept there. As he acted as if falling asleep he awaited the woman and the girl to sleep. He would guard them as the night came. As he acted as if he fell asleep the woman spoke to the girl.

"This is your only chance! Kill him!" Whispering she spoke "We may be scum, but this man... He is known as the Centipede. He is the one that murdered thousands of people! Anyone with a serious crime of murder or assault.... The blood of thousands is on his hands! He's evil incarnate! If you kill him now you will become a hero you will save the lives of many!"

Lending her a Kunai with her mouth"Hurry take it and kill him!"

Tsuneo was lying there acting asleep while hearing everything. Tsuneo.... Always wanted to become a hero, but the world was no such beautiful place. Heroes are only those that are strong. Heroes are those that can protect everyone, they are people that end despair. Tsuneo could never save every single person. So he assumes the title of a killer and carries the weight of the blood of thousands on his hands.

Lin walked along with the two, the woman that the man had saved and the man that was known as the centipede. She knew him from reputation alone. She had heard Gin say his name once, but she didn't know that he was so close to Kumogakure. When he said that she shouldn't be there she grit her teeth. She of course had known that she shouldn't be there, but she wanted to impress all of her friends in Kumogakure. Mifune, Dameon, Gin, Toshi, they were all counting on her to get stronger and to protect them. She would not be so weak for long.

When they came to a cave, she hardly slept, but when she found herself at the edge of dozing she was given a kunai and told, "This is our only chance, kill him!" She threw the kunai outside of the entrance to the cave, "I cannot kill him, because he wasn't in the bingo book, or a target of a mission. Not only that but he is several times stronger than I am, and I am not sure that I could take him on if I tried. Foolish woman, go back to sleep and don't speak unless spoken to." Her eyes narrowed and warned that she would force the woman to silence if she was to speak again.

It would be a long walk back to Kumogakure, but Lin would try to remain as quiet as possible until they returned. She finally knew the nickname of the person that she was with, but not the name. She knew him by reputation, but didn't know what his motives were. He seemed to be surrounded by a weight that he was bearing on his shoulders and didn't want to make him angrier than he was. It seemed that he had an explosive temper, and that anyone that was caught in it would be destroyed. She was a genin after all, and she wouldn't be able to do anything of consequence to him if she tried.

Lin would admire the woods around, knowing that the woman wouldn't be so foolish to attempt to attack the man. It wasn't likely that she would attack Lin either, but she kept a senbon in her hand just in case. She would use it to make a quick leap back and then it would be as good as over. The woman seemed weak compared to Lin, and she trusted that the woman wouldn't make a stupid move. No one wanted to end their life, especially in this way. She would also tell the raikage that it was more of a B plus mission, perhaps an A mission from what she had gathered. It had no right to be a solo B mission.
WC: 1386

The young centipede and the girl continued walking, following them the traitor that planned a mission to trap another subject. If Tsuneo wasn't there she would've been tortured for days. Most people become insane,  Tsuneo gained a portion of that insanity and locked it away within him. They continued walking, and as they closed in on the enemy's location Tsuneo spoke to the girl "We're close to their hideout, if you proceed your life will be in danger." The young centipede warned. He then spoke "Next time I may not be around. These bastards are nasty." He took off his shirt revealing the hundreds of scars. "This would've happened to you" She had a scar on her face, yet still she was a beautiful lady. They were of the same age, and yet their scars are so different in number. Hundred of scars all over Tsuneo's body around his fingers and wrists, toes and feet. 

Tsuneo wore his shirt once again hiding his scars as he wore a nightmare-ish mask terrorizing all those that gaze into it. The trademark of the centipede a smiling mask jet black in color. The murderous vibe oozing from the  mask. The young man unsealed a battle suit that he hid away and wore. As he came back in his suit he cracked his fingers as they entered the area saying "Keep your wits about you."

The young boy's chakra had been fully restored. All of his jutsu were ready to use, and his killing instinct was raring to go. He wore his gloves and prepared himself for a massacre. However, it won't be an easy fight. He spoke once again "We still have two-hundred meters, but just so you know. Their leader is an S-ranked shinobi. Their task is a bit tedious, and it is of no simple manner. You could have been held hostage, and used against Kumogakure. Your friends and loved ones would have been in a deeper mess."

The young man warned her as he did need to do so. Courage is amazing, rushing to death is not so much.

"My friends would have come for me, but I was supposed to show them that I could handle myself." Lin nodded and adjusted her hair so that it was no longer in her face, a look of determination in her eyes. Tying it back with her headband she readied herself for some jutsu. She didn't know what she could contribute but if she would die here, then she would die fighting.

"Centipede-kun, when we are attacked, that woman might attack us as well. She wants to kill you. I am not a fan of fighting on two fronts at once." Lin readjusted her clothing so that it fit her frame a bit more, a sign that she was finally ready to fight. It would be a hard battle if he was right, but she wanted to show her determination, even in the end. What a mess she had gotten herself into.

Sighing, she watched all around, her perception was very keen for someone her age, it was even considered middle of the line for chuunins. It would take an S class shinobi to sneak up on her, but still, she didn't want to push it since he said that indeed, it was an S class that they would fight.

"They'll attack us within two hundred meters, you know this?" She asked, "How do you know this? Lin was a bit confused, she had thought that he had disposed of all of the people in the cave and therefore all of the people in the mission.

WC: 1657

The people I killed are not the main party. The main party has no exact hideout. The bastard will. The young man smiled as he saw her prepare herself, a faint smile but he continued walking. "Still, you need to be careful." He paused and listened to her as she spoke about what the woman might do as they are being attacked."Don't worry. I'll stop her." He spoke calmly with his normal voice as he turned his eyes to the woman. Watching her he then spoke to the woman. "I will free you." The woman looked at him with wide eyes as she wondered if he did know. 

Tsuneo spoke once again informing the woman "I know what you suffer. I am a sealing master. I can remove that curse. I will set you free, and then you can go and live a happy normal life with your son. You no longer need to suffer, I am sorry I could not come earlier." The woman started crying as she fell to her knees. He then walked back to her and spoke "Sorry for dislocating your shoulder...This is gonna hurt." Turns out all he did was dislocate her shoulder and in the same way, he returned them back in place. She didn't care for the pain and kept muttering her thanks. Tsuneo did a multiple of a hundred and twenty-three hand signs in one second as his palm shone.  The woman blushed as she revealed to him the place of the curse. Revealing her back the seal was right above the woman's crack. Tsuneo was disturbed by the act of her captors but never the less placed his hand on the curse and sealed it away into the void.

Tsuneo cleared his throat as he spoke "Uh yes. That should.... Do it." He was inexperienced with women, the brute was only knowledgeable in fighting. Tsuneo spoke once again "Lin, as you are now you will die needlessly." Tsuneo created a clone with a seal shining from its stomach."Enter the seal, in this clone you will gain the stats of an A-ranked shinobi." Tsuneo thought for a bit "Not gain, but as I'll let you have control over the clone you will be capable moving, attacking, percieving, and reacting as if an A-ranked shinobi." Tsuneo waited for her to get in giving her a chance to fight with him.

Tsuneo and the two women continued walking. Each time they would get attacked he would let lin bea them up, and then move in for the kill. Tsuneo continued walking, and as they reached what could be considered an enemy base. Tsuneo looked around and ducked with the two as he percieved the enemy. Tsuneo spoke to the two "Keep your senses about you, we've been foundout." How'd he know? The enemy was no child, and assuming they were, they were also an S-rank. In other words the enemy was a veteran. No way in hell would a veteran leave himself out in th eopen with his hord of dogs begging Anbu to Assassinate him. No, the man was planning to bait them. Tsuneo may be a brute, but he's a tactical mastermind, and it was a side he never revealed, but was always there.

"Alright..." Lin said half-expecting to die in the jutsu rather than have it work. She closed her eyes and held her breath almost as if she were jumping into a lake that she knew would be cold, and the expression that she had was quite similar to doing the same. Her eyes opened wide and she gulped in air in a gasp as she felt the jutsu take. The chakra coursed through her chakra network, making all the hairs on her body stand erect. She shuddered in an unknown before sensation. So this was a jutsu that was above her own. It was spectacular and a little disconcerting that someone could create a clone of her that had these capabilities.

She stepped out of it and left the clone, experimentally she waved her hand at it and it waved back. It was weird to see herself wave at her, especially knowing that this wasn't her jutsu that recreated her, but someone else's. She felt a bit relieved that she had control over the clone, and he didn't, but she was afraid of the clones that he could make himself. If he could clone her this well, then what type of clones could he do for himself? Perhaps make clones that were as strong as Gin herself. Shivering she smiled at Tsuneo and nodded, "it's powerful, it's hard to think that you could create something so powerful so easily. I can feel what it feels and see what it sees. It's strange, but I feel like the copy, not the other way around." Holding up her fist she punched the tree with her clone and left a good-sized crater in it.

"With this, I should at least be able to distract the ninja when he comes after you. I'll use my own chakra to heal you if I can, but the clone will attack." Lin was starting to become a master strategist so she wanted to make sure that she did this right. She wasn't going to be able to keep up with the clone's reaction time, nor with its speed, but if she concentrated on making sure that she created an opening, perhaps he could use it.

The clone pinned its hair back with a bobby-pin and smiled at Tsuneo. It was silent, but she could make it respond if she wanted, but seeing herself talk was too creepy just yet. Her own clones were just barely to the point where they could walk and talk and interact with the environment. Lin looked at the woman suspiciously and started to move again.

"tell me if you see him please." Lin asked Tsuneo, "I don't want to be ambushed if I can help it, and dying isn't on my list today either. I just want to get this mission done and over with. Then maybe we can sit down and talk about what has happened out here. Perhaps, that is." She still didn't quite trust Tsuneo, but she didn't have any reason to not trust him either. It wasn't like he had made any attempt on her life, or anything like that. She just didn't trust him because of the stupid rumors. It was silly, but after all, she was young in the world of ninjas.

wc: 2235

The young man had prepared himself mentally and physically. The bastards would attack them any second now. Tsuneo had no intentions of letting any of them live, and he would tear them away piece by piece for tormenting the poor woman. He would deliver a death far more terrifying than any torture. He would destroy their very soul, with the destruction the ten chains can deliver.  The graves called and the fingers cracked, the eyes sharpened and the blood coursed.
 
Tsuneo smiled at what she said and her description of his Jutsu, he then yelled “Behind you!” As he rotated in magnificent speed that Linn should be capable of reaching now. He would turn around and glare at the five men rushing at them in the middle of them the leader, the other four? They seemed experienced enough to deal a hurtful blow and so, Tsuneo prepared himself thoroughly for a series of dreadfully fast movement and dreadful attacks.
 

The man glared at the five as he cracked his fingers in preparation. He prepared his swallowing seal as they approached at a speed of fifteen meters a second, a speed Tsuneo could with ease overtake. He would, however, observe them carefully. All five were armed with great swords and all five were quite muscular. Their body shape and state only suggested that they are indeed close range fighters, Tsuneo’s favorite type of fighters and the easiest to murder. He loved brawling against those close rangers but it seemed his corpse was not what they were seeking. They ignored Tsuneo and rushed for the woman, two of them did, Tsuneo would ask Linn to chase them as he took care of the three standing in front of him. Swallowing seal ready, substitution Jutsu ready, Black chains ready, and chakra chains ready. The bastards would die a painful death.

Lin was told to take care of the two that were moving toward the woman and she knew that she couldn't take them with her clone. She made the handsigns for making a clone of her own, a bushin clone and took out a senbon along with her clone, while the clone that Tsuneo had made for her ran towards the two that were heading towards the woman.

The clone collided with a knee to the right of the man's ribcage with amazing speed as Lin and her clone threw senbon at his vital areas. If all went well he would collapse in pain. Feeling his ribs crack and his muscles readjust, catching his organs from a fatal blow just barely, she knew that she needed to hold back or she would kill them both. As it was, the man that her clone had hit lay on the ground, groaning in agony, the senbon flying past where he had been and into the man directly behind him rushing at the woman. She was waving for help, but whether it was from the bandits or from Lin she couldn't tell.

The clone moved again, Lin focusing on it more than anything else. The sword flashed, and she dodged out of the way in the nick of time as it sliced through the air where her neck would have been. She didn't know how durable the clone was, so she didn't want to risk it. Pulling out a kunai of her own, she tried a technique that she had seen done with a kunai once and jabbed straight at the tendon that the man was swinging his sword with, or what she assumed he was swinging the sword with. The kunai bit into the tendon and cut deep into his flesh. The limb hung limp as she kicked his femur and felt a satisfying and sickening snap.

The man crumpled to the ground with his comrade. Now she could only hope and wait for Tsuneo to do the same with the others. "I'll only get in the way if I join in, are you alright Centipede?"

WC: 2598

The centipede trusted in the girl’s abilities to fight given the immense buffs granted to her through his clones. However, his clone would never be enough without wit and a strong will. The young man had to face his own enemies. One of which was the S-ranked criminal named the blue ghoul. Tsuneo cracked his fingers as he rushed at the man with killing intent. The man simply ducked under Tsuneo’s rotating kick only to attempt a sweep to which Tsuneo reacted to by jumping and changing his body’s positioning mid-air. He would turn his rotating kick into a vertical falling kick. The man dodged by pushing himself back letting Tsuneo smash the ground with his brute strength. However, as Tsuneo’s kick touched the ground the criminal released a Kunai piercing his Tsuneo’s thigh three inches deep. The Kunai was enforced with lightning. Tsuneo dashed away as he pulled out the Kunai and launched it right back at the man’s face, and as the man would hold the blade before it reaches him, Tsuneo would burst full speed towards the man with a frontal punch.
 
Tsuneo’s attack was intercepted and blocked easily, as the man himself grabbed Tsuneo’s fist he spoke “Such an easy prey you are.” Tsuneo smirked in reply as insane Chakra was unleashed from his fist. Tsuneo unleashed three chains of S-rank to bind the bastard in place. Tsuneo would waste no second, and as he captured the man he launched a multitude of strikes all over the man’s body breaking multiple bones and causing internal bleeding all over his body. The criminal was not finished and responded by swallowing a pill that he hid in his mouth. The pill healed his injuries to a certain degree.    The man wiped the blood falling from his lips. Tsuneo’s chains were broken as the man unleashed two A-ranked techniques or so Tsuneo labeled them seeing as that was what it took the man to break free.
 
Tsuneo maintained the other chains for not a second longer and began intercepting the man. As the criminal unleashed a fire technique of A-rank and it was seemingly the same technique that Tsuneo himself uses. However, the two techniques were the very same technique yet Tsuneo’s version won out. How was this possible? It’s because the two flaming dragons unleashed did not even collide, Tsuneo had used his swallowing seal to absorb the opponent’s flames letting his own flame rage across the field freely till it almost the man. The criminal dodged right at the last moment which cost him his left side as it was burned to the third degree. Tsuneo rushed at the man as he sensed his weakness, but did not see what was coming to hit him. The man unleashed a spike from the ground, an earth style technique, Tsuneo luckily located it at the right time and dodged it but still it cut his waist 2 inches deep. It was a dangerous dodge. Had he dodged slowly it would’ve taken out his kidney.
 
Tsuneo placed his hand over his waist as he bled looking at the S-ranked criminal perform a series of hand signs but as soon as the bastard was done he disappeared. Tsuneo relocated the man as he suddenly appeared behind him. The man would punch Tsuneo in the face almost launching him away but he would then grab Tsuneo by the hand and reposition himself, locking Tsuneo and breaking his left hand. Tsuneo was not going to wait for the bastard to do more. He kicked the man and launched himself away escaping the man’s clutches and preparing for another Jutsu, but the man was far too fast he intercepted Tsuneo once more at unimaginable speeds launching a powerful strike to Tsuneo’s stomach launching him away.
Tsuneo was on the ground hurt and damaged before the criminal as he spoke “The centipede? Ha, some pathetic kid tryin’ to play hero. Your friend looked pretty cute. We’ll make sure to rape her real nice and cute before we kill you and her. I’ll make her and you wish you both were dead.” Tsuneo’s ears ignored not a single word of what the man said. He heard him utter his disgusting words loud and clear. The man would pull Tsuneo’s hair as he looked at Tsuneo’s half dead eyes. Tsuneo closed his eyes as he sunk into his dreams almost slipping away from consciousness as the man beat him up continuously.
 
Silent Rage…..
 
Tsuneo stood up as if being elevated like a dead-man rising from the grave. He spoke to the man that had his back facing him stopping him forcing him to look back. Tsuneo spoke a word “Bow.” As a cursed seal spread paralyzing everyone in range. In complete shock, the man glared at Tsuneo fearfully, and as Tsuneo moved in closer till he was barely centimeters away he pocked the man’s forehead leaving him with few words saying “Boom.” Speaking his one word quietly as a god like figure of a skull hailed around Tsuneo, black in color, and deathly in aura. The god like chakra, the god like destruction, and the god like existence formed around Tsuneo as he spoke, “Tragedy; Devouring Apocalypse, where’s your god now?” In a painful destructive burst of chakra everything in range was dead. Not a single living organism remained. All was dead.
 
Tsuneo cracked his finger as he watched the girl take care of the thugs. He clapped as she killed both off easily. He patted her and spoke to her one word “Become a great Kunoichi and fight for the peace of this world. Once you’ve become strong enough meet me again. Let’s spar” A beautiful, majestic, yet gentle and kind soft smile appeared on his face as he disappeared having completed his missions. He now had nothing left for him to do and so had to disappear.
 
Tsuneo was hopeful of that girl, and it was the simple fact that she had the will to overcome evil regardless of its strength which amused him.

Lin let the clone dissapate as she felt his hand on her head, patting her. She felt a bit of sadness seeing him leave abruptly like that, but it was just the nature of some people to do that. She looked at the woman sternly and pointed to the village, "Go and I'll be behind you. We only have a couple more miles to reach the village and I intend to do so before dusk." She knew that she would have to be stern with the woman as the woman was most probably hatching a scheme as they walked. Keeping a distance between them of 30 meters, Lin would continue to twirl her senbon in her fingers before tossing them up in the air. She would give the woman a hard stare every time that she looked back and keep the directions to curt one liners, such as 'left' or 'forward'. It wasn't like she was angry at the woman, but she trusted her about as far as she could throw her, and at this point it wasn't very far.

Sighing as she approached the gates to the village, she felt like she had gone on a mission that should have had an entire team of anbu on it. Cracking her neck she kept her eyes focused on the woman to make sure that she didn't make a break for it. "No funny business." Lin growled as the guards came up to see Lin and the woman to make sure that they made it safely into the village. It was a successful mission, and she felt like she would need to sleep for a week, but she had done it. Well, perhaps she had, perhaps not. That man, the centipede, would forever be considered a friend to her. She hoped that somehow he could hear her thoughts.

Perhaps he could, perhaps not, but she didn't know. Lin was a person who believed that fate would bring together the people that she needed to meet, and would part them as soon as they were needed elsewhere. Apparently Tsuneo was needed elsewhere, as he didn't show himself at the gates. It was too bad, she had wondered if he wanted to go to get a coffee or relax in the skybar with her. When the guards ushered them both in, and tended to the woman, Lin directed herself home out of habit.
