One Last Thing

Grey headstones reared their ugly heads through the beautiful pure snow. The names of hundreds of ninjas who had been KIA were carved in the blemishes. A few people were around, an old woman and her two sons to be exact. All was quiet in the depressing place, save the crunching of footsteps as Arashi walked down an aisle of gravestones, small black crystal butterflies following her. Her previously cheerful demeanor had been lost, and instead her hands were clasped together as she walked with her head down. A few graves more.
Until she reached her father's. Until she reached her mother's.
It...hurt. It truly did.

As Arashi came to a stop in front of a specific stone, one that had two named on it instead of one, she set down a small crystal butterfly, one that was larger than the ones around her, and slowly sat down on her knees.
"....Hello...father...mother..."
She looked up a little.
"...It's nice to finally meet you. It's bad that I have to meet you this way..."
She blinked as she felt herself begin tearing up, and smiled a little.
"I've been a good girl like you asked...for Uncle..."
She let out a small sob, and her head dropped back down as she began crying.
She'd lost something great.

It was very somber, and eerie. This place was filled with a sadness that Glory had not yet allowed himself to succumb to. Even though his family as massacred and publicly executed, and forever shamed in the history books of Hoshigakure, he didn't fret too much over it. He would rather not think of these events, rather then face them, this female had proved to be stronger willed them he had, and he didn't go near her. He simply stood at a distance, watching her actions unfold before him, her soul being an open book to him, not really however. He had tons of questions left to ask her.

He was ready to leave this dismal place, it stirred up emotions in himself that he was not ready to confront. He walked along the pathway, onto the grass where he stood besides her. His eyes focused frontal. He looked down at her, and spoke. Slowly. "Are you okay? Do you wish to leave now?" He stated as he reached his hand outwards, grasping hold of her shoulder with a serene smirk plastered upon his face now. He was trying to share his positive energy with the girl. "We can go out and eat at a restaurant I know in Kirgakure. Then talk about this." He stated calmly.

Arashi looked up at Glory a few moments after she was done praying to her parents, and wiped her eyes. It was nice of him to try and cheer her up, especially since this place was bringing her down quite a bit. She stood up, brushed off her knees, and took his hand with a renewed smile.
"T-Thank you, Glory-sama. I'm sorry if this place makes you upset. And a resturant in Kirigakure sounds interesting! We should go inform the kage before we leave though, don't you think?"The butterflies around her had landed all over her, attaching to her head, arms, shoulders, ect. Arashi felt a sense of completion after finally having been here. She would never have to see her uncle again, if the fates so willed it, and she would get to travel out of Yuki with a man who she had oh, so many questions to ask! She'd find a way to make herself useful in life. For her parents.

For herself.

He looked at her and smiled. "You are right, lets go inform the Kage." He stated as he avoided the fact tat she could tell that he was a bit uneasy at this place. She was a lot smarter then she had first appeared to him. This was a good sign. He was talking to her with his mind focused soley upon the female before him. "Lets get out of here. We are needed to head back in the town hall located in the main part of the village." He stated as he wrapped his arm around her waist. He would press his lips against her cheek, with hender care. To calm her down. She was starting to second guess herself, a trait that should not, and would not be allowed to transpire. He would leave this grave site with her, comforting her.

Arashi blushed and followed Glory out of the graveyard. She pretty much knew that she was in for one interesting trip.
