Hitomi's breath spoke faintly of the stolen meal she'd eaten earlier, nearly drown out by the smell of mint that she had stolen shortly after. "I have lived all my life alone. I have had to, over the years, accept that. The girls didn't make friends. It hurt too much when they died. Now that I'm free, all I want is someone to talk to... I am taking control and living my own life... I just need someone to help me... I can't do it alone anymore..." It shattered. As Gig watched, her icy shield disintegrated. Her eyes showed nothing, and then they showed everything. In her eye lied ancient sorrow, and fresh sorrow covered it like blood on a sword. "I have to look forward, because I can't look back... But I can't take any more of being alone. I just can't do it..." There were no tears. There'd probably not be... There haven't been for too long...

Giglamesh would sigh she didnt understand what he had ment. "....You have have two good legs, learn to move foreward on your own....There is no reason to look back, yet it can be your reason for striving foreward......what i mean is things which happen in the past should influence what decision you make in the future, one should never regret there actions....however the decision that could of been decided better can be used as examples to make better choices later. Whom said you were alone?....If you were alone i would of left you in the village unconscious correct. ...alone is when there is nothing but black surrounding you, im sure you feel as if there is a blackness strangling your heart............i know the feeling....but you cannot let it engulf your heart with time you will find what your looking for you simply need to continue foreward." Giglamesh wassent speaking in code, wassent talking in riddles, he was speaking in outright for once he told her exactly his ideals as it was what kept him going threw the years of loneliness, hatered, and sorrow. Giglamesh talked directly to hitomi and exactly what he felt on the matter, the choice she made was hers and hers alone he could tell her what to do as it wassent his place.

Keiko just kept walking, she didn't realize where she was until she say Giglamesh, Damn it, she thought. Things this morning weren't the best for her, which offset Giglamesh in a really bad mood. Keiko overheard the little pity party that Hitomi was throwing for herself, she was sick. She walked up to the three and stared at Hitomi, she wanted so badly to slap her across the face. However, with the way that she acted towards Giglamesh this morning she didn't want to chance it. She walked closer to her, "Everyone in this village has gone through something painfully. Most of us have lost our families, and on a personal level I know that most of our families have hurt us." She took a breath, "I'm saying, in the nicest way possible right now that is stop throwing yourself a pity party. You're not the only person who has been hurt or lived alone. You're not the only one that has seen rock bottom or even hit rock bottom." She frowned at her even more, "How about you take the time that you are using for your pity party and figure out a way to get yourself back up and move forward. It's hard, but if you want to be a real ninja, you'll do it..." she sighed, "...and do it fast."

Hitomi looked at him. She looked for a good, long while. "I won't forget what I've learned, but I will try like hell to forget how I learned them. The lesson is important, the context isn't." She kept her eye locked on his. "I know that I'm not alone, and that's probably why I'm still here. But I need something like what you and Keiko have. I need someone that I can always turn to when I need to, for whatever I need... I used to... And now that she's gone, I feel... Empty.... I don't like this feeling, Gig... I can't take it anymore..."
Hitomi's eyes glazed over. She turned and whistled at Kon~kou and began walking back towards the village. She wasn't angry. She had shoved her emotions back into their little box. I just wanted to move forward. It's the realists that brought me back to the world where I can't. She didn't look back over her shoulder. She didn't even listen to them talking. If they didn't want her to stay where she was, she'd do exactly what they said...

Giglamesh was able to Sense keiko from a great distance away approaching him. But the way she left early in the mourning she was in a mood and decided not to interveen untill she decided to as while he loved her to ends, because of that he didnt want to make her unhappy, so he basicly just stood there looking between her and hitomi simply dwelling on there actions. He wanted to say something to both but with the rough start to keiko and himself today he wouldnt cause he didnt want to make they mood she had earlier worse.

Keiko sensed the tension between Giglamesh and herself. She also sensed that Hitomi was out of it because she completely ignored her, something that she hated. She wondered about Giglamesh's reaction to her slapping Hitomi, she walked even closer and shrugged, she really didn't care at this point what he thought, she slapped her. "Get a back bone girly." She sighed, "I'm sick of people complaining about there life and how they are alone...and blah, blah, blah. If you don't like it change it. You have the power to change it..." She turned to check Giglamesh's reaction, she kept her eyes down to the ground, and walked past him, stopping just short of three feet from him.

Hitomi didn't ever stop walking. If you stop, you lose your resolve. She continued towards the village. If no one wanted her there, (and apparently they didn't need her there,) she wouldn't bother being there. She needed to find either a place to train, a library, or a crystal ball that made her omniscient. She stifled the whip. Every scar on her back from not listening or knowing her place was burning, but she forced the pain down to an icy tingle. I didn't want to do anything of the sort.

Giglamesh still thought she was in the bad mood from the mourning, so he would lower his head a shadow looming over his eye. He hated being tension being between himself and keiko but if she wanted to be left alone, as he thought, that being what she wanted he would eave her to it no matter how much he hated leaving the matter alone like this. He wanted to say something so bad, wanted to do something so bad but for her he decided not to do nothing. He hated leaving her mad, but she acted as if she didnt want him to do anything and no matter how much it hurt he stood there not doing anything for her. Giglamesh would say lowly to hitomi. "I cant help you with harumi......but search for hokorimai......and youll find your blade...."

Hitomi whispered her response, knowing Gig would hear it. "Thank you." She didn't want to be rude or mean to Keiko, but Keiko scared her. The truth of the matter wasn't that Hitomi wouldn't speak to Keiko, quite the opposite. She couldn't speak to her. She tried to look tough, but she was afraid that they'd see straight through the act. (And they could, if they decided to look her way.) She already knew they thought her weak, (with good reason) but she didn't want to reinforce that opinion any more than she had to. She spoke to no one this time. She couldn't speak to Keiko, but she could speak. "I'm sorry." With that, she was out of comfortable hearing distance, and couldn't hear anything that was said at normal conversational levels.
EDIT: ((Exit to village))

Keiko was a bit pissed, Hitomi was in a dream world, Giglamesh couldn't understand how she felt, even though he knew everything about her. Things just weren't going her way, or her feelings weren't cooperating with her...it was something like that. She didn't even know what was going on. She slowly turned around and started walking, she couldn't take the tension anymore. The tension was becoming too offend between the two of them, it was faults on both sides, she sighed, and walked off.

Giglamesh diddnt like hitomi leaving off like that, and ith keiko's attitude no matter how much he liked her due to his love for her kept him from acting. Giglamesh would clech the handle of the hokogiri houcho incredibly tight he was incredibly angry from letting both leave in such a way and he would slash the blade violently to his right in to the ground causeing sslash to cut threw the ground a great distance like a split and as it hit the wall of the canyon it would continue up it spliting like a axe the full length up the cliff's wall, this was his full power swing at some time later he could perhaps turn it in to a jutsu but for now he had other traning and jutsu to focous on.

Hitomi walked back to the canyon. She had a lot on her mind... She set unreasonable and unattainable goals for herself and spoke them aloud.... Once she did that, she was locked in forever... She needed some semblance of self-control... However, she no longer cared about finding Harumi, and she had never made that a promise, so she was safe. However, running into Nav had reminded her how truly weak she was... She could hardly speak in Navalie's presence... And Keiko was probably still mad at her, so the only person she could turn to for advice hated her... Oh, well, the only thing I can do right now is to focus and grow stronger.... Hitomi decided to go with a standard training exercise... She formed the snake handseal and readied herself to mindlessly blast her chakra out of her tenketsu.
Burn-Out
By making a handseal, the student will release a grand amount of chakra. The goal is to release exactly all their chakra and make space for new chakra. If a students overshoots and expels too much chakra, he faints.

15 / 5= 3.
3 - 3= 0
Hitomi's Cp: 0/3
Hitomi felt the rush of chakra blast out from her. She may not be the best at molding it, but it looked like moving it was a specialty of hers... She smiled and sat/fell down. She had nailed it perfectly, and there was even a small area around her that the ground had been disturbed, shifting the soil ever so slightly to reveal a minuscule circular crater... someday that'll be big enough to bury someone in... But at this point, I don't even budge the dirt a full centimeter... Tells me how much I have to improve, don't it?
Cp: 1/3
She felt relieved, and she closed her eyes and turned her face skyward as she let herself rest and regain her energy. I can't believe it has been two whole years... I didn't think they could keep me under that long... That sure explains a whole lot of things, but it still doesn't explain why.... I should have been mature by now... I should be going through the same things as every other girl my age... But for some reason, I'm not... That might be why I didn't realize the years slipping by, but there's still no explanation as to why I'm almost five years late.
Cp: 2/3
Hitomi sighed. She didn't even know if she was fourteen yet... She couldn't really remember her birth date, nor could she remember ever having celebrated or even commenting on it... That b*****d wouldn't even give me that luxury... Although, being too old would have lowered my price... And that would have made things much more difficult... I might even have ended up like Ai... She didn't deserve what she got...Damn, chakra makes everything seem so heavy... I guess it's time to dump it again...
Cp: 3/3

Hitomi sighed and stood up, taking another deep breath and raising her hands to form the snake seal. I got it perfect last time, let's see how it goes now. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine the chakra being expelled through her body, but all that came to her mind was Navalie... Dammit... Come on, Hitomi, you're doing this for her... You've got to be able to put her out of your mind when it's necessary... She focused on the seal she had formed. Compact. Simple. Straightforward. This technique was just the same. That was probably why she had chosen it... Or it's just because I feel like a cold-blooded snake for the way I treated Keiko... She focused suddenly at the flare of emotion she had raised and tried to burn her chakra.

12 / 5 = 2
Cp: 1/3
Hitomi felt the rush of chakra, but this time it was weaker... She hadn't completely burned herself out. Let's try it when I'm calm, shall we? Hitomi formed the snake seal again and closed her eyes. She pictured her chakra as a light blue mist, flowing through her body. She pictured it rushing out eagerly at her command, and then realizing once it escaped that it had no job to do. It would feel just like her... Although it would be free, instead of being trapped inside the cage that was her chakra system. And she knew exactly how blissful it was to be recently freed. That small amount of joy could wash away a lot of bad things... At least temporarily... But here Hitomi stood... Giving emotions to chakra... Wow... It really does make everything heavier...
