With determination on her face, Hitomi ran after B. All her life, she had been beat down both mentally and physically. Now she had found her feet and she’d stand tall. For once in her life, she’d go after something that she wished for. Yes, B was enraged and she had seen it. But she didn’t need to be shown what he was capable of. She knew that he was capable of doing anything he wanted to do. Rooftop after rooftop, the young Hyuga woman would follow, giving chase. Leaping over the wall, she’d continue into the forest. The things that she had gotten so used to within the walls of the forest, she had seen were not so in this place. But she wouldn’t let it stop her. Barefooted, she raced after him following his splintered path that he had left behind. It was really hard not to see it. But she kept her byakugan active, if not for the simple fact of keeping her focus around her, but to make sure that she could still see him. She’d give chase and 30 minutes later, she’d slow only for a moment as she looked into the forest that was now so different from what she had ever seen before.

Taking a breath, she began once more to run through the forest that was different than what she had ever seen. She couldn’t stop. She had to keep going. Leaping over logs and quickly dashing past animals that snarled and gnashed their massive jaws at her, Hitomi would still look forward. Her driving force… she saw his change when she touched him. If he was so consumed by this rage, why would he have kissed her to begin with? She’d leap up and reach for branches that she’d swing off of  to propel herself forward and over obstacles that would be in her way. Coming back down into a crouched position, the balls of her feet would already dig into the ground as she once more pushed off and ran after him.

Seeing the entrance to the temple, Hitomi came to a stop and looked to it. She’d look into the darkness of it and close her eyes deactivating the byakugan before opening them once more. Her metal fingers came together and she placed them against the center of her chest. The bottom of her white robe like garment was filthy. She’d take a moment to bring the shoulder back up to where it was supposed to be only to once more feel it slip down over her skin once more. Her eyes looked to the ground a moment as she almost debated about going in after him. Thoughts raced through her mind and it took her a moment to sort through them.

If he let her, she’d stand with him. She did care for him and she wanted to explore that with him and see where that would lead them. Softly she spoke a proverb that she truly believed in while still looking to the ground. “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” She wasn’t in love with B but she cared for him. It was a start. With that courage in her grasp, she’d look up from the ground and looked to the entrance with determination and courage. Within that darkness was the one that she wanted to stay with her and not leave like everyone else had. Placing her hands down by her side, she’d take one more deep breath and walk into that darkness and in doing so, accept whatever would befall her
