Learning the flames of destruction

"Finer words have never been spoken, but make sure you take that to your heart also, you are still young, it isn’t too late to start a new career if you don’t feel like the path of the shinobi is for you. You can still become a hero in more ways than just becoming a shinobi, if you want, there is an entire world out there! You don’t have to base what you do based on the fact that your family has done something for generations."

He was thinking about her feelings, he was trying to be considerate, he was really attentive about these things. On the other side, Hikari Namikaze doing none of it would be more than an estimated guess. Ayato didn't want to be talked down, her words were cold and full of judgment and so were her eyes. Evident from how she was examining while he spoke previously. Yet she decided to contradict everything she said with a smile. Ayato wasn't sure if she was mocking him or not. Hikari appeared to believe that shinobi life is a game, even worse than his kinsmen's version who presented it as a noble's calling. And she was not the only one. 

Today he really tried to become involved with someone, only to regret that decision halfway. Yet he couldn't really blame himself for trying, or Hikari not understanding. Doing this is risky. I might get injured by doing that. I hate to feel pain. By growing up I learned how to better protect myself. That's probably the most important thing to keep on living. However taken too far, and one's life can truly become a boring experience. When you have a rough time and yet everyone else seems to be having fun, you don't wanna ruin it by saying something sad by mistake. Even though it is not their fault you become angry at them and eventually jealous of their naivety.  Then you gradually end up distancing yourself from everyone and wind up alone. But when you are alone and can't reach to those around, you realize that you like someone to complain and discuss your troubles with. 

Ayato looked down to Hikari, his gaze narrowing in what appeared to look uncomfortably like frustration. "I misjudged, it would seem. Mentioning my troubles to you was wrong."  He added ice in his voice. " I don't expect you to see where I'm coming from, you shouldn't even try to."  Ayato kept looking at her figure for a few moments before turning around to look elsewhere."You are right, this is enough for today. I will be on my way, then." Ayato would attempt to place his hands in front of his chest he realized they had curled into a fist. "Only women can vex someone with a piece of unwelcome advice." Executing the boar and ram hand seals he focused his chakra to his feet. Taking one final look at the scenery, where the nectar curtain of the sunset coaxed earth, trees and river alike he would give a small sigh. "Better not to get involved with anyone. They will not understand, or listen for that matter, only judge you. Either way, sooner or later memories of you will fade away from their minds as they move on with their lives."  Ayato released the body flicker and disappeared with a gust of wind, kicking up leaves from the ground that danced like a flock of birds.

Hikari Namikaze didn’t mean to talk down on to the boy, heck, she didn’t even notice that she did! When he said, “I misjudged, it would seem. Mentioning my troubles to you was wrong.” Hikari would continue to talk to him, “Hey, I am sorry if I offended you, but don’t feel like you can’t talk your problems out, I know We haven’t known each other for long, but I don’t have a lot of friends, so I consider you one already. And I …” Hikari would start to explain, but suddenly was cut off by him preforming a jutsu and disappearing. That was quick Hikari thought to herself, [/i] I hoped I didn’t offend him with that question about his eyes. Or anything else, Gosh dang it Hikari, you blew it, he probably hates you now. You really need to learn to watch what you say. [/i]
With that, it was time for Hikari to go home, she would pack up anything she had put out, and started to head out, feelling like she might have messed up horribly.
