Hinako's running

[wolf]

Hinako was running again, her feet barely touching the ground as she practicly flew over the grassy feild in the park. The moon made her pale skin even more pale and her already light-brown hair was almost blue under the moon's iradecent glow.

How late is it anyways... As she ran she looked at the positioning of the moon to give herself a basic idea. I wouldn't be surprised if it was well past ten, maybe eleven.

She thought about how she always ran like this, not really going anywhere, in the middle of the night, anywhere she thought she could run without annoying crowds to make her feel confined. As if she was in a small room, confined to it with no chance of escape. She hated small rooms. Walls would feel as if they were closing in on her and threatened to crush her.

She thought about her need to keep herself occupied, why she always ran aimlessly. She thought about all the times that she would be sitting around with nothing to do, waiting for something interesting to happen.

I need a book to read... I'm bored out of my skull half the time.. As she ran she started to feel a slight shift in the enviroment: Someone was coming.

She stopped running and, without looking up, said, "Who's there?"

Sasuke had been relaxing in the park his head clasped behind his head as he lay among branches of a tree. Looking down at himself he frowns a bit his clothes were raggedy and had a few holes his shoes were dirty, and he was incredibly hungry. He felt it like a cool breeze a wave of realization as he senses a reiatsu approaching. A painful knot develops in his stomach and skin seems to ripple as he sits bolt upright on the branch. She was running through the park late at night, a young girl she couldn’t be more than 12 or 13. Sasuke breathing heavy as the knot loosens and his skin relaxes, looks again at the girl he’d looked twelve for over five-hundred years, but he’d never really been twelve it was strange.

Every instinct in his body screamed it was a bad idea but Sasukes curiosity won out, he just had to see what a normal twelve year old did just understand it a bit. Keeping his distance he moved completely out of sight following her as she ran. When suddenly she stopped, panicking Sasuke drops flat on his stomach hiding in the tall grass he places his fingers on the ground they spark very slightly as the grass in the area near him grows two inches taller. When the girl spoke Sasukes stomach churned and filled with pain again clutching it he stumbles away from the girl, half running half falling towards the woods at the edge of the field.

Hinako turned to look at the unfamiliar figure and took a small step forward in curiosity. She normally would have dismissed it as another ghost, but this time she wondered, Is someone actually AFRAID of me?

She saw the way the figure moved, stumbling as he ran, she took a step forward, and without really thinking said, "Hey, are you ok?"

Hinako, what did you just do? Getting involved with others is a waste of time, nothing good ever comes of it.

Despite her own thoughts she took another small step forward towards Sasuke, slightly confused.

Sasuke stumbled back keeping a good seven-foot distance from Hinako at all times. Breathing deep his stomach unclenches and his skin relaxes. At this moment all Sasuke could think was RUN! Yet for some reason his legs wouldn’t move he just kept back stepping to keep the same distance. His mind raced he felt like he should say something but what? Hi my name is Sasuke I am five hundred but look twelve and don’t want to get to close cause I might eat you, doesn’t quite roll of the tongue that well. Seconds passed by like hours as he stares directly at the girl who had noticed him. His mouth dry as he speaks and his mind concentrating on containing his hunger he spoke his voice light but filled with worry, ”Sorry”. As soon as he said it he knew it was a dumb thing to say Sorry! she wasn’t going to understand that. He was about to speak again when his stomach rumbled a loud roar that seemed to split the quiet of the night. Clutching his stomach he panics and begins to stumble away again his foot catching on a protruding root after a few steps sending him hurling face first into the ground.

[wolf]

Hinako took another small step closer and suddenly it occured to her that he wouldn't be afriad of her, but of something else. She said, "You're not normal... Are you?" She took another tiny step forward. "What exactly..." She took a normal-sized step forward and continued, "Are you afraid of?"

This is a bad idea...

[aurius]

Sasuke scrambles back as the girl steps forward pushing with both his hands and his arms working frantically to push him self away from the girl. What was he afraid of even he wasn’t entirely sure, he never had a problem killing before, but now he is just afraid of killing again. Shaking his head he stares at the girl opening his mouth once as if to speak and then closing it again quickly, he contemplates her for another few second before stopping and saying something.

”Don’t move…. Im Sasuke…. Uhm…. Okay… then… I guess I’ll go”

[wolf]

Hinako looked slightly frustrated. She hated lacking knowlege of any sort. She put her hands in her pockets and looked the other way. "I get it. You're no different than everyone else in this town."

She turned around and began to run the other way, some slight frustration showing in her eyes and her expression. As she began to pick up speed she took a deep breath of the warm summer night's air and glanced back slightly, seeing Sasuke out of the corner of her eye. She sighed and continued to jog in the other direction.

Well, he may not be like the others, there may be something different but again, it's human nature to alienate anything that's out of the ordinary. Even if you're not ordinary yourself it's just something we do without really noticing. I hope to work around those urges somehow.

She sighed after putting a good two hundred metres between them. "Not even a little."

[aurius]

Sasuke feels like his mind is about to burst as the girl begins to run away the hunger tearing at his very sanity he grasped his head dropping to the ground and screaming electric energy pulsing over his body he curled up into his knee’s as the grass around him begins to grow at an accelerated rate. Whipping his head up he can feel the vines sprouting from within his body fire out three in every direction. Sasuke can feel it the hunger taking over he fights with all his strength the vines receding into his body as he hits ground the area around him strangely scorched yet framed by overly tall grass. He lies clutching his knee’s breathing deeply the hunger contained for now at least.

[wolf]

Hinako turned as the vines were growing from his body and her eyes widened in surprise. She took a step back and blinked rapidly. Even... Even though he had that kind of an aura about him... It's still shocking to see someone that has powers use them...

She took a step towards him, but then took two steps away. She turned and ran, not knowing how to respond to that besides thinking, I don't want to get involved with this guy... It'll only get me into trouble.

Even as she ran his reiatsu seemed to linger in the area. At least... At least I think I know what he was afraid of now... That power... He's afraid of it consuming him? Maybe... Maybe not though.

[aurius]

Sasuke stood watching as the girl ran away, staring down at his hands as they tremble. They always ran, they had every right to but… He hated how they ran he hated the way they looked at him, hated feeling this. Before he knew what he was doing he started running after her he didn’t know why he just had to follow her maybe to prove to himself he wasn’t a monster maybe to prove to her. His legs burned as he ran finally getting back into sight range he drops low running to the tree line and running along it keeping her in sight. Why am I doing this, jeez im chasing her to prove im not a monster that makes a lot of sense. Yet he couldn’t stop he just needed to be human even if just for a moment.
