To all of those who want to train, you have come to the right place. This is the main and most popular training area in the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Later that night, Saraiku was at the training grounds, but he wasn't training; just thinking. A lot happened that night: he was reunited with two old friends and he received a message from one of them that he wanted to be talked to that night. "This is so confusing."

____________________________________________________________________________________________ "Isn't it."Rain answered as she walked up beside him and looked up at through the trees at the moon. The soft breeze was still in the air and the light rustle of leaves made the place seem slightly romantic; to bad she was here on business. "How well do you keep watch on your Ninja?" She asked her voice steady and firm as she reached into her cloak and pulled out a headband; the leaf symbol gleaming in the moonlight. "my village was attacked not to long ago... Don't worry, I haven't hurt them; their fine. It's just what they said that gets me." She glanced at him, her silver eyes gleamed warningly out from the darkness of her hood. "They said you ordered them to."
She looked down at the headband and squeezed it tight. "At first I thought that maybe, just maybe. I mean why not, everyone else I've know has stabbed me in the back. But then I thought..." She lowered her voice and shook her head slightly. "that not you, it wouldn't be you."
She tossed him the headband and looked at him, her face hidden in the shadows of her hood. "All I want to know... is who they are, if you sent them and why you did if you did.

"What?! How did this...?" Saraiku was incredibly shocked at hearing this; he had never sent his ninja out to attack the Village Hidden in the Mist, and he would never do such a thing. "Rain, you know me: I would never harm innocent people, or order a group of ninjas to do so at that. They could've been Leaf Ninja, but probably some rogue... Wait: did the people who were attacked say what exactly they were after?" An idea came to Saraiku's mind at that moment, but he wanted to be sure before assuming the worse.

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Rain nodded and turned her back towards him. She wanted to believe him, to really believe him, but she couldn't bring herself to. After all she had been through, she didn't trust people anymore... and this was a sign. When her village was attacked, she thought for sure, he had changed to... but it didn't look it. He was no differnt, was it her? She let her voice be flat, but slightly hopeful. "It's good to hear you say that...thank you." She shrugged. "I couldn't get them to talk... and I didn't want to hurt them... to badly. The only thing they said is they were after me... and one of my students." She glanced back at him. "Why, do you think you know?" She turned again and her full attention was on him. She liked to sheild herself from people, but she now had a village to protect and protect it she would. "Please, will you tell me?"

"I was afraid of this." Saraiku paused a moment before continuing. "I don't know if this is true, but I think the one who attacked your village is... your second teammate, Zaruki. He's now a part of the Akatsuki, and his mission must be to... to get you next." Saraiku seemed a bit choked up after saying that: he could barely get anything out of his mouth, but he managed. "But it could be another rouge ninja if I'm wrong. I wouldn't know about your student, though."

____________________________________________________________________________________________ "Zaruki..." She looked at Saraiku a bit confused, but them reset her face to it's normal uninterested self. "But... why?" She looked up at the moon, as if looking for some kind of guidance and then nodded as if she agreed with it. "My student is a young power house of the Kaguya Clan... and if what you say is true, I have to get back to the mist village." She looked at the moon again and took off her hood; revealing her aqua blue hair, pale skin and her stunning silver eyes. She put her hand over Saraiku's, the one with the headband and looked at his face for a moment. She was debating, how much could she trust him and why did she feel so torn between him and... someone else. She didn't understand her feelings or her thoughts. She didn't trust anyone and why would she start now. She felt herself blush and she pulled her hand away, with the headband. "I'll return this..." She said, but didn't move, instead she held it in her hands, rubbing it between her fingers... was it because Saraiku had touched it? She wasn't sure, but she suddenly felt nervous, even though she didn't show it that much. "I should go now... bye, Saraiku...Thanks for the help." She said then turned slightly to leave.

"Rain, wait." Saraiku stood up almost immediately as he saw Rain about to leave. "I... I haven't been honest to you since the first day I was assigned to lead your Genin Squad." This wasn't easy for Saraiku: he could barely get the words out. "Rain, you probably don't remember this, but I once told you that I'm the carrier of the Five-Tailed Wolf, Houkou. I was once possessed by it while trying to train. I killed my parents, my sister, and her husband the day I was assigned to you, Sai, and Zaruki." A single tear dropped down from Saraiku's face once he announced that. "I was afraid that if I ever told you the truth, you might face the same pain I did. Rain... you are the possessor of Nekomata, the Two-Tailed Cat."

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the tear tail down Saraiku's face fascinated Rain. She'd never really cried before; never needed to was her guess. She couldn't help but wipe it carefully off his face and look at it on her finger. "You went through a lot that day... and still, we couldn't tell." She said wiping her hand on her cloak. "It's kinda late now, but I'm sorry for your loss... seems like it hurt you." Rain looked back at moon, turned and sat down and looked up at Saraiku. She shrugged and looked down at the dirt and started to draw random lines in it.
Saraiku, I know there are things is our past we like to forget. And Pain, I was born to live for pain. No matter what I do I bring more to myself... to others... I'm not worried about pain, I think I'm finally numb. For instance, I killed my mother. She glanced up at him and then back to her lines."But you see, I hated her... and I didn't care that I killed her. I don't miss her, I don't beat myself up for doing it." She bit her lip and was quiet for a minute. "I killed her because I wanted to, not because I was possessed, but because I was angry and lost..."
She pulled her hood back on and looked at her hands. "I guess there are just somethings you have to leave in the past... No matter how bad they seem, or you'll spend the rest of your time beating yourself up over it. Saraiku, I envy you... My mother was my only blood relative I had left. My father ran when I was born and I never want to meet him." She stopped then, feeling sick about herself. She stood and walked over to a tree and leaned aginst it. Her head was spinning and she couldn't believe she was telling him... everything. She stopped there. "So I have a cat in me?" ____________________________________________________________________________________________

"Yeah, you do. It's known to be able to use spirits in battle, but I don't know if you can use that kind of power." Saraiku walked over to Rain. So many things were popping in his mind: his past, his present, and his future were coming together so fast.
"I'm the one that envys you: you have never been able to trust anyone. Because of that, you aren't hurt when somebody you know dies. I wish I were like that, but I can never be like that: I care too much. Everyone I know is someone that I would risk my life for, including you." Saraiku smiled a little bit, feeling a little better than before.
"You do might have reasons for hating your mother, but I think you should at least give your father a chance. He's your only family left. You can't let your family go. I have a nephew who I haven't seen since I killed my sister, but I'll see him one of these days. All I'm saying is don't hate your father from the beginning."

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Rain shook her head. "I didn't think you wouldn't understand. I hate my father... I hate my mother... I hate them for making me and cursing me to this hell we call life." She took a deep breath and her hands turned to fists, her voice drooped until it was just a whisper. "But that wasn't enough, it was never enough. I was a mute child... I learned that what ever I said was used against me, so I decided to just stay quiet. She hated me for it. She hated me because I didn't tell her I loved her, just so she could back hand me and tell me how much she hated me and how I would be a lost child. A child that amounted to nothing. " Her mouth started to have a rusty acidic taste to it. She swallowed hard and was silent for a moment.
She leaned her head aginst the trunk of the tree, the sent of the bark entered her nose. After a minute she turned to look at Saraiku and shook her head. She realized she just understood what he meant and she wasn't happy with it. "Saraiku, I'm not worth... you getting hurt or worse. I'm just not... the truth Saraiku, I just want to die. To disappear and never come back. Thats why I love the dark." She felt weird telling him everything and wanted to leave... before she lost her composer. She could feel herself coming undone and it scared her... it scared to know talking about something she'd done would/could affect her this much.
"I hope you see your nephew soon..." She said changing the subject. I bet hes curious to know who you are. She said with a forced smile, that quickly faded. "I don't need another demon... I have enough from my past to deal with. It can bring spirits back. " She shook her head. "I'd want it to kill me, not me back."

"Just because you had a bad childhood doesn't mean the rest of your life will be bad. It couldn only get better." Saraiku meant every word he said. He knew that Rain's life would get better if she was willing to let it be that way.
"Ever since the day I met you, you were always the quiet one: the one who wouldn't open herself up to others. You don't have to be that way anymore; you just showed that to me." Saraiku smiled at Rain, feeling happy that he had this chance to talk with her.
"Rain, you're my best friend. I can trust you with everything. There's just one question, though: how well do you trust me?"

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Rain could feel tears starting to form, at first she didn't know why. They she knew, they tears weren't of sadness, they were out of hatred, self hatred. She pulled her hood tighter around her face, hoping it would hide her face. She was quiet, thinking about what he had said. The rusty acidic taste coming back to her mouth.
"Saraiku, thats who I am.... I am that quiet girl who doesn't speak and who doesn't let anybody in. It's just me and thats how I survive... It's how I walk away from people and not... -She shook, taking a deep breath she continued- It's just with you, I..." She shook her head. She knew what she said next was going to crack and she might start to cry. She didn't want that to happen, so she went quiet. But this time, the taste in her mouth didn't leave and she found it was hard to swallow. She felt the tears start to trail down her cheeks and she was at a loss at what to do. She sat down and pulled her knees into her chest and hid her face behind them. It felt like a hole was being ripped in her chest and she didn't know why; because he called her 'friend'?
"Best friend..." She said quite shakily. "How can I be? " She was quiet for sometime before she answered him. It was hard for her to admit it, but she did trust him and it scared her. It scared her that she cared; that she could care. Her body shuddered trying to repress the tears, the emotion that was coursing through her. "I think... I know you are the -shudder- most trusted person I know." She said to him, her voice still shaky.

As soon as Saraiku's heard that, a smile appeared on his face. "I'm really glad to hear that. It's nice to know that you can trust me, even though you can't trust anyone else."
At that moment, Saraiku noticed something about Rain that he had never noticed before; how much he cared for Rain. Although he cared for all of his friends, there was something about Rain that made him care for her even more. Without thinking, he got closer to Rain: closer than ever before. As soon as he got close enough, he pressed his lips against hers.

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Rain only heard half of his reply, she was trying to fight out an inner war. She was so mad at herself; she, in a sort matter of time, had brought back everything that hurt her, that caused her pain. And that was all, her breaths were short and quick, her heart was racing and it felt like the hole in her chest was getting bigger. She curled up into a ball, hoping that it would pass; but it only started to get worse. Then she noticed that Saraiku had started to get closer to her.
It hurt to much to move and at first she thought he was going to help her up; but he seemed to be getting to close. Rain started to feel slightly nervous, she hated when people got close, but this was a different nervous. Her heart thundered in her chest as his face got closer to hers. She pulled it back slightly, but found that the trunk of the tree was there, she was stuck. Her lips parted and she took a quick breath, before she felt his lips touch hers.
It was then that her solid structure cracked. She felt her tears start to roll down her cheeks, like little rivers down her face. She wondered if Saraiku noticed she was crying or not. She hoped not. For a second she enjoyed the kiss. It knocked her thoughts out of order, letting her mind find a small, quick peace. It made a temporary sheild aginst all the pain and hurt she felt, but not for long. She knew now she was going to hurt Saraiku... She hated the thought, but it was true. She gently pushed on his chest, and pulled away from him. "Saraiku... " She said looking at him, hoping that the hood cast enough shadow on her face so he couldn't see how hurt and confused it looked or the new set of silent tears that covered her cheeks.
