"You're in the fire country." The man said back to Sujin, who now lay still, with Mugendai clung to his chest. At the words he closed his eyes tightly. This land was forbidden, this place he knew in his heart he shouldn't be there. The headband at his waist throbbing like a tell-tale heart.

"We picked you up. You were freezing in the middle of the road, out cold. What were you doing?"

Sujin thought for a moment, his mind still shook lightly, it was as if he had been on drugs from what he remembered, the rest of it he regressed. "I-I don't know. But thank you, thank you for taking me away. Where are you going?" He still didn't look at them, only keeping his eyes up.

The man was quiet before giving a large sigh. "Konoha boy. We've just come back from a trade in the rice." Sujin felt sick to his stomach, a ninja village.

"Eh, what's this?" The small boy broke into the conversation having lost interest. He held a blue book in his hands. Sujin didn't turn to see this.

"Hey, Chikyuu. Put that back where you found it."

"No, daddy please." The man flung his hand up with a huff. Before turning back to Sujin.

"Boy, what's your name?"

Sujin sighed into the sky that had started to move past him, the mule getting anxious. "Sujin, sir." The man turned to drive the kart.

"No last name?"

"No sir."

The small boy huffed hutching next to his sister, each of their noses stuck in the book. "I don't get it."

"Get what?" their father said.

The small boy lifted up his chest to read out loud. "Flying in Otogakure Haiku."

Sujin's heart stopped, his poem book. Tears sept from his eyes again. What had he done?

"Sky so young and free,
I wish I could soar up high.
To be with spirits."
The boy said, with much trouble.

"It's a poem boy. A pretty one. You see the lines must have 5 syllabus 7 and than 5. Count them out." Each of the children held up their fingers and smiled as they reached the end. Suddenly the girl spoke up.

"That's not all though.
But all men must fall.
For we have not wings to fly.
And must only dream." She ended it as if a question, her reading much more efficient than her brothers.

The man in front sighed. "A wise poet." he flicked his eyes back toward Sujin. "It's best you two stop now."

"Ah wha, Dady why?"

Sujin closed his eyes to the sun and the sound on the grinding ground under the wagon. The children played with each other and read through his poems silently. Feeling the sun on his face, Sujin let his mind run over everything that had happened that day. He thought about Kasuke and what would happen when he found the note. He thought of his mother and grandfather, yes even of his father. There were so many things that he had left behind, and it terrified him so. Yet... far from everything that happened it felt good, freeing like he could put it all behind him and start over new.

"Who are you?" Sujin croaked through his lips, but it broke the silence none the less.

"Hm?" The man turned back. "Oh yes, I forgot myself. My name is Taiyoo Mabushii, and these two rascals, these are my twins Chikyuu and Tengoku." The two beamed brightly, their faces dark with that of days spent under the sun. Sujin smiled as well.

Sujinsat up slowly, still holding the blankets over him. They were warm in the cool breeze. He looking down at the children interpreting his poems and smiled, he didn't want to think about them at all but seeing, Chikyoo and Tengoku happily lean over the blue book he couldn't help it. Sitting up now, his head was still dizzy but Sujin was thankful to be so far away. He just wanted to keep going on forever. And that's what it seemed like, the hours went on and on. While he sat in silence. Listening to the huge forests they didn't have trees like this in Rice. He thought through the hours and felt a deep guilt in his gut at leaving his home, his duty, a life that he had swore he would never abandon. He still loved his country, he just wasn't there anymore....

Soon it came to be that Taiyoo looked back to them. "You all. We're here, you know." The twins instantly burts into an uproar standing in the back and leaning over the plank that kept them and their father seperated. A huge gate grew from the forest. An old and powerful gate that Sujin knew had stood for many ages. It was not quiet like oto's, and it was an odd feeling. He felt like he had betrayed his country now. Still thinking like a ninja the boy, untied his headband below the blankets and stuck it in his pack, also taking his poem book, and wrapping Mugendai up as if it were a fine dinner plate.
