Welcome to Gaia! ::

"OK then we'll use a jutsu to get there faster." After Chris made a few hand signs and placed his hands on the ground. Just the the ground started to crack and break around Shash and him and then the ground that they were standing on started to lift in the air. Then he said "this flat rock will get us there to see our mother, just sit down so that you do not fall off." After he said that Chris turned around and sat down and put both his hands on the ground each side of him and his hands started to glow and then the large flat rock started moving slowly to the leaf village so that Shash would sit down and so that she wouldn't fall off.

::Some time later that day::

They arrived just outside of the leaf village and Chris said, "well there it is, there is home. It's been so long I had forgotten that they had rebuilt mostly everything here somethings are still the same. [Sigh] Shash go on ahead to mother's house I will catch up I just have to see something before I go to mother's house OK?"

After Shash left to mother's house Chris decided to visit his home that he lived in with his wife and kid. As he walked down a small path that lead to a burn house still standing but everything was burn and when he got to his old door he pushed lightly open and the whole door fell down to the ground and, then he walked through the doorway and began to remember back to when the whole place felt alive. Then he was interrupted by an old friend that he used to talk to when he went to get food from the market. The old friend said Chris is that you I haven't seen you in ages. Just then Chris turned around and said "Ganju......my have you aged. Do you still work in the market?" Ganju said no I retired now I have my grand kids to see now and I'm sorry about your loss. Well I have to go now to see the little one...bye. "Yeah see you later old friend." Then the old man left and Chris took one last look at his old home then he left to his mother's house which he arrived a little while later. Then he knocked on the door.

Chris went inside after he heard Shash told him to come in and after he did he walked to the back yard and just stood there. Then after a few seconds he said "hello mother it's been since I've been away how have you been?" His mother turned around and looked with astonishment that this was her son which she had not seen in many years, then she said oh my it's you, it my little boy come back, she said running to him giving a big hug. Then just the Chris said "mother.....grip...to tight....good to see you too." Then the mother let go and had a small tear in her eye and then she said it's almost been forever since the last time I seen you. I remember when you where still a teenager. And I'm sorry about your wife and child, but don't worry you will have to move and get on with you life, she said with authority. "Yes mother I know, I will be waiting in the living room till you are done washing Tora." Then Chris walked into the living room and sat down on the couch and his mother went back to finish washing Tora.

"No I am not better, I shouldn't have left that night," he said in a sympathetic voice. Then he got up and walked over to a shelf and began to look at old pictures that had some dust on them. And then he took a cloth and wiped away the dust from the pictures and next to it a old toy that he used to play with. After he held the old toy he put it back in its place and walked to the window and looked out at the people walking around. And after he looked at the villagers for a minute, then he walked back and sat on the couch waiting for their mother to finish.

"Where the prodigy, no longer am I that. Not since I had a dreadful demon inside me not I must walk the world doing anything to atone for my sins. So I do not carry that title with me anymore and it is why I haven't come back for a long time." He said looking at a old coffee table in front of them.

::[Sigh]::
Chris leaned his head down and closed his eyes and said "Yes I had one once but now no more." Just then he opened his eyes as their mother walked in and sat in a chair nearby. Then he picked his head up.

"Yes I know mother but their are something I can not say just yet. [Then he looked over at Shash] We will have to go soon, I feel it is not safe to stay much longer."
