D-rank
The day was dark for the sky was covered in dark, almost black-colored clouds, crying above the city hidden in the mist. There was no wind and every tree, branch, leaf stood still, morning along with the Jiman family who quietly watched as the coffin was slowly descended into the ground. Tears mixed up with the rain drops, as they parted with the eldest of the family.
"Goodbye, grandpa!" softly whispered the youngest member as he turned towards his mother and hugged her with all of his power. She petted him on the head, crying with her heart broken now in two places. A distant thunder echoed as if to remind the family that time had not stopped to wait for their grief and that they should as well - move forward.
The masculine undertakers drew their rusty shovels from the ground and began filling the hole with the dirt piles on the side. Their faces blank, almost emotionless for this was their everyday job - to dig graves and later on fill them with the dead. A life filled with sadness and sorrow, was bound to cause one to eventually get used to it.
Kahou was watching from afar hidden behind an old tree, her eyes watery and her hands shaking. She knew the deceased... he was the only person in the world she felt close. The noble's family eldest member - the only person who had treated her like a person and not like a slave. And now... he was gone, life had left his motionless body, leaving her alone in this hostile environment, filled with lusty men, envious women and all-in-all - flawed human beings.
With the ceremony ending, the family slowly dispersed leaving the grave one by one, saying their goodbyes with their beloved, while the Karisuma stood and waited for her own turn. She sploshed through the muddy graveyard grounds towards the now empty gravestone, marked with his name. Tears dropping from her cheeks, she looked down and started crying silently.
"Why... why... why you? Of all people, why not him!" she asked herself quietly mourning. She felt weak, powerless, alone. She had no one to fight for, she had no one to love, she had no one... how could she continue forward when everything seemed so... meaningless? Still weeping, she wiped the tears from her face, still staring at the old man's grave. This place gave her the creeps, but her affection towards her only family in this world easily trumped this inconvenience.
As her grief was slowly leaving her heart, accepting the death of Jiman's eldest, Kahou felt uneasy but for the first time in her life - she did not hate the rain, she enjoyed the feeling it brought into her soul and onto her body. The sky was crying along with her, showing compassion for her loss. She lifted her eyes, narrowing them to evade the rain drops. Another thunder echoed, this time much closer and much stronger. The Karisuma felt her grief change into anger and determination with the latter being the weaker feeling.
"Goodbye, grandpa!" she said, unintentionally repeating the young boy's words as she disappeared from her spot. There was only one place she wanted to be now and there was only one person she wanted to be with - herself.

The Kirigakure training grounds, were not famous for being crowded as most shinobi were busy actioning mission requests. The city had grown in size and with it exponentially dangers grew as well. For this very reason, Kahou chose this destination. Moreover from her previous visits, regardless how few they were, she had noticed that one of the grounds was always empty, with its label all rusty. It would have been dusty was it not for the constant rain in the city.
She entered without hesitation and found herself on a rocky platform, amidst a dense green forrest. She could hear a nearby water basin as the rain drops plopped on the water's surface. Kahou closed her eyes and let her emotions overtake her. Anger rose from the depth of her heart for life was unfair, for she had lost the only person she valued, for she despised every single man that looked her and immediately smiled lewdly! She started breathing heavily and rapidly as she felt her body burning, despite being under the rain.
"K'SAAAAAA!" she yelled with all her voice, lifting her head and then smashing the ground beneath her. The rock split under her fist, a long crack running through the rock towards the nearby trees. Some of the roots popped up from underground as an aftermath from the destructive force, most could describe as - the small blonde beautiful girl.
"What is the meaning of this!" a man's voice echoed through the silence reaching Kahou's ears. She froze in place for a second and turned her head towards the voice instantly afterwards. It was probably the worst person she could have met in this situation. But there was something different from the last time they met, hardly noticeable. "Why are you destroying my training ground?" he asked in a strict, ordering voice.
"I... I..." Kahou had no explanation, at least not a good one. "I thought it was empty..." was all she could muster. Her anger had been replaced by frustration caused by his appearance but it would take only a spark to light it back up. "I did not know where else to go..." she continued.
"Is something troubling you? Are you in danger?" he asked, slowly stepping towards her, looking her straight in the eyes.
"No... I mean... I just want to be alone... I will go somewhere else." Kahou said as she tried to leave the place but Baransu grabbed her by the arm and pushed her backwards.
"You are not leaving my training grounds, until you explain to me why are you here!" he again ordered her, feeling that there was something wrong, trying to pull it out on the surface. "Do not think you could overcome me, Kahou." he said in a calm, even a bit scary voice.
"Let me go..." she asked kindly this time staring him down. She got suspicious of his intentions for the first time. After all, she was a beautiful lonely girl under the rain on a desolated place. One could easily get some bad ideas.
"Make me." he replied, returning the stare back.
She threw herself towards him, throwing a curve right punch, that was easily blocked by the outside of his left arm. Kahou then tried to execute an uppercut with her own left arm but he evaded it by stepping backwards and grabbing her by the wrist. He swept her of her feet with a low kick from behind, letting her arm go as she fell to the ground.
"No wonder you are still a genin..." he claimed as he made two steps backwards to create some space between them. "What were you doing here?" he asked again, waiting patiently for her answer.
Kahou was lying on the ground, all soggy with the heavy rain falling on top of her, her hands on her belly. She felt frustration and it was rapidly turning into anger for she wanted only one thing now - to be left alone to grief and this stupid annoying black haired know-it-all would not f*cking let her leave. She jumped up on her feet, this time determined to fight her way through and rushed towards him, initiating a rain of attacks...
