Hanging by a Moment (Private Vivi)
Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:31 am
Akina sighed heavily. It had been raining, and the girl had been counting the days since...the incident. She had been frequenting Ichiraku Ramen's so much that the chef stopped asking her what she wanted. Even though the ramen was very good, it still reminded her of him, and that caused the girl to often just sit and stare into the ramen, asking herself if she was really fit for the future that was placed before her. She covered her kimono in an oiled hooded cloak to keep off the rain. The hood also hid her eyes, so that no one could see her reddened eyes. Most nights, she had been weeping uncontrollably. There was no one in the house of late, so she spent her days outside when she could.
Everything seemed empty. The ramen was full of flavor and yet had no taste. How could it? Akina had chased away her nakama, the one person she was supposed to put her life on the line for. He seemed to care deeply for her, and now he had left. The wind howled in the distance, and the girl pulled her cloak closer to her as she sipped at the scalding soup that could not warm her soul. No matter how much she had apologized, nothing came in response. Only the void came from nothing, and there was nothing she could do to fill it.

A figure shrouded in a dark garb makes his way down the streets of Konohagakure no Sato, it is none other than the Hokage of the village, Viper Kamu Uchiha.
He is wearing something he hasn't worn in ages, his old travelers cloak from his youth, his form seeming to now of grown fully in to it.
The abyssal black shrouds his form as the hood is covering the rest his face shadowed, alot is on the Hokage's mind, the future of Konohagakure no Sato, what the Sky Nation is doing, the new leader of Kirigakure no Sato, and many other matters befitting one of his status.
Alas there is but one thought still on his mind that is aside from his work, an incident that occurred before his departure, in fact it is one of the causes for it, the words of a girl he thought at one point he would spend the rest of his life with, one that meant more than his goals of taking over this world, because to him, she was worth more.
Viper can not get her from his mind, though once happy thoughts bring sadness for fear that they are but a distant memory of a time nearly forgotten surly by the girl.
He has had time to think about the events, perhaps he is not ready for a relationship, for this to be his first serious one he has sure messed it up, he sighs as the curtain to Ichiraku's is pulled away with his right hand only for him to step within, his sandals making a soft sound upon the stone floor, dropping also follows as the hard rain against his cloak now drips freely to the floor, Viper notes another to be here at this time and takes his seat at the far end as to be alone with his thoughts.
With Viper's position his two prominent raven black bangs are visible hanging forth from his hood, his hands are visible as he rests his arms on the counter, he simply holds up his right index finger ordering but a single bowl of basic ramen.
Ichiraku's has never been a place of choice for Viper to go but it had fond memories for him, a place he used to go with his brothers when all three of them were together, and with the girl. That last thought of the girl once more brings forth a soft sigh as he looks forward awaiting the ramen to be prepared, the winds through the exposed sides catching his cloak which ripples along his feet.

Akina started to slurp at her food slowly. She noticed another person come into the noodle shop. There was something that had been bothering her. She couldn't bring herself to move back into her old home. The girl's head hung lower than normal. No one asked her what was wrong, but everyone seemed to know something was up. She slowly lifted the bowl to her lips. In doing so, she had tilted her head back, causing her hood to shift ever so slightly. It also allowed her to catch a glimpse of the stranger who was sitting near her. Instantly, her heart began to beat a nervous flutter faster, and her broth slipped down the wrong tube in an almost calculated manner. She sputtered and coughed fiercely. Her eyes watered.
As she brought her head down, the droplets slipped down her cheeks and into her broth, causing her reflection to be broken by the tides of ripples. She looked over to the stranger and froze. She couldn't breathe, and her hands got very cold. Heat flared to her cheeks, and she was stranded alone on an island where no one could save her.
"I'm sorry." The mumble sounded like it was meant for a person who would never return. "I was wrong..." She whispered to herself, and then her body began to quiver slightly. "I just...want you back...please...please just..." Reddened eyes grew redder.

The steady sounds of the rain upon the ground outside the shop are broken by that of the girls sounds as she coughs and chokes, curious if she is ok Viper looks towards her, her tone even though she is coughing sounds odly familiar.
It is here when Viper's head turns his face becomes visible, he wonders for but a moment but dismisses the thoughts of it being her in a place such as this. But it is when she looks towards him that it is confirmed, the girls reddened eyes are noted, the sign of tears visible through her facial expression, Viper freezes in place, he hears her words but she looks to be in a daze, his coal black eyes watching her.
Viper's eyes close softly, a sigh follows as he leans forward laying his head on his arms that are on the counter still looking towards her, he doesn't know what to say, what words are right, or even how he feels anymore.
He is afraid she only stayed with him for so long due to his words and how he kept referring to her as something she would be in the future, but not as something she was now, even going so far as to declare as such to her aunt and uncle thus putting her in the position to say yes or lose her guardians honor, could he be anymore stupid?
It is his fault, he messed it all up, he lays upon the counter still curious if she will notice him, not that he even deserves it at this point, he messed everything up.
The bowl of basic ramen is slid on to the counter by the chef only to sit in front of Viper.

Akina yelped. When she looked on Viper's face, she hung her head. "I'm a pitiful excuse for a shinobi..." Her voice was harsh and cold. Warmth trickled down her cheeks. Her body shook and she found her eyes locked with his. They were deep and cold, but something in them promised warmth and kindness. She finished her broth in a stupor. She almost wished she was old enough to drink sake. A slow dull ache formed at the base of her skull. There was only one thing she could do.
Her lips quivered, but she did not dare look away or show fear in her eyes. She wasn't afraid. "I've been away from the house for too long. I'm afraid that if you see it in the shambles I've allowed it to become, the teacher might be very angry with the child." She smiled emptily, and then chuckled hollowly. "Though, there is something about...my nakama that is kind and caring. I'd like to believe he would be kind enough to forgive a child's failure." Tears unbidden streaked down her face. "If I could go back...I would not be so harsh." The girl found herself on her knees before the Hokage. She bent her head down and dared not look up. If his eyes showed no emotion, she would be broken completely. "I've counted the days...I've tried my best to train and keep the house clean...It's been so empty...so lonely that the weight of it all nearly crushed me, and while I may not like the fact that you're stronger than me and could have easily disgraced my honor...I've done so much worse! I turned away from a nakama..."
Silver eyes met onyx. She was smiling pitifully despite her crying and shaking. "I may not love you now, but that's because I don't know what love in a world where death reings supreme is. I had a hurting pride...and I selfishly lashed out at you...I wanted you to look at me like I was strong, not smack me with the failures I knew I had already committed."
Her heart was beating faster. Lately, it had felt like shattering glass that constantly chipped away as she ticked off another day without him. "I..." Her voice and whole being shook. Her eyes were filled with a feeling she did not know, but hoped he would recognize. At one point, perhaps it had mirrored how he had looked at her. "will accept any punishment...as long as you don't throw me out...I'm refuse, deserving of it...but...could you forgive me?" Her eyes had lowered and her breath had frozen in her lungs.

Viper hears her speak, his eyes open gazing upon her once more.
Viper lifts his head sitting upright in his chair, he listens to her words, he watches as the tears slide down her cheeks, something that tears at the very core of Viper's heart.
He hears her refer to the house, the last thing on his mind, he watches as she drops to her knees before him, he is speechless, it is clear that he hurt the girl when he left like he did.
Their eyes meet once more, Viper's eyes are filled with sadness as he looks down at her knelt down form, his left hand rises and places itself on her right shoulder, he speaks softly.
"My words were not meant to point out that you failed, my words came from my heart and from my feelings towards you.
I want you to be strong, I want you to be able to accomplish all of your dreams and break down any obstacle that ever gets in your way.
That is why I said what I did, perhaps my words got selfish, for I have a hard time picturing you on the battle field. I've been in war, people will do anything they can to ensure your death, and their survival, it is human nature, which is the main reason I could not forgive myself if something did happen on the battlefield, the main reason I am harder on you is because I do not want to lose you."
Viper sighs after speaking, his hand softly slides off her shoulder to once again hang at his side.
"It is not you that needs forgiveness, I am the one that forced my feelings upon you and put you in a box where you could not tell me how you felt.."
His lips force themselves in to a smile, his eyes closing to hide his sadness, "So even if you don't love me, your still welcome in my home." His voice is a tad shaky at the next part as it is clear he is forcing these words out.
"Even if I am not the one destined to make you happy, I'll always be here for you....as your nakama.."

Akina's eyes widened, and she felt compelled to stand to her feet. His hand was warm on her shoulder, and she found herself smiling. The color seemed to restore to her eyes and cheeks. Everything in her world felt right. She attempted to wrap her arms around him. She needed someone to hold her close...to let her know that it was alright.
Her body was shaking, and she felt her armor cracking. He allowed her emotions to run free, and with that freedom, she allowed herself to cry out all of her problems. Once the storm was expelled from her, the Hyuga girl sighed happily. "Thank you, Viper." Her voice was ragged, but her smile was warm.
As he started to say something about her being put into a box, she held her finger up to his lips and shook her head slightly. "No...you didn't. If I didn't think I could love you, then I would not have followed. The truth..." She said as she all but collapsed into her stool; her eyes couldn't leave his, "The truth is...I needed time to think. I needed to sort things out." Her hands trembled in her lap. "i'm sure love can grow," She said with a sweet smile, "because while I'm not yet prepared to be your wife...that is what I one day hope to be, because I am quite...fond of you." There was a furious blush on her face, but he needed to know the truth.

Viper's eyes widen, her arms wrap around him as he softly wraps his arms around her in return holding her close without a word, he feels every shake of her body, and sees every last tear.
He feels her begin to pull away and releases her to meet her desire, he stops his words as she puts her finger against his lips, her words follow afterwards.
Viper sighs softly, but a small smile is on his lips, the truth was made clear; She does love him, but it is true he came off to strong which caused the backlash due to him not giving her time to develop her feelings.
"Then I am prepared to wait while it grows.." Viper's left hand extends outwards towards her gesturing for her to take it.
"You need to know that I really do care about you, I am willing to wait so you can grow to love me as well...."
Viper still has a hint of sadness in his words, he is confused what it is he is supposed to do next, how is it that he can get her to love him? Does he just stay away, how does he act towards her?
All of these thoughts scream inside his head as for the first time in his life the mastermind simply does not know what to do next, he does not know how to handle this.

Akina's eyes matched the movements of Viper's, and a smile split her face into two. She was very happy, even if the emotion was controlled and mixed with fear and worry. Where to go from here? She didn't know, but she wasn't going to leave his side ever. That much she swore. "I take an oath on my life to never leave you. This is my loyalty I offer you anew, Viper Uchiha, and while I may not know where to go from here, I swear to never leave you." Her voice was solemn, and she attempted to place her lips on his left hand, which she had taken into her own.
The rain had slowed slightly, and the girl bit her lip slowly. She swallowed and took a breath. "So...what...what should do now?" Her voice trembled a little.

Her words bring reassurance, as well as a smile to his lips.
He thinks over her words and makes his own decision, he will do something he has never done before, leave this up to fate and not calculations and planning.
He makes his own vow, his hand now grasping hers firmly, "Akina, I swear on my life, and that of everyone that depends upon me." He smiles a bit more, his eyes never leaving hers. "That no matter what happens, should the mountains crumble and the oceans engulf the lands, I will always be by your side."
His smile is filled with happiness, he will just have to see how things go and take it slow.
Viper hears her question what they are to do now, "Well, perhaps we can start over, truly get to know one another. This way I can properly earn your love."
He retains his grip upon her hand, although if she should pull away he will allow as such letting her go at her own pace.
