Re: The Twins and Hitori [IO]

They’re just like me. Hitori wet his dry lips and nodded sympathetically. He placed his hand on Komori’s shoulder and patted it. “I know what that’s like,” Hitori said, struggling to get the words out. “I never knew my father,” he said, looking down at the grass. “He was killed before I was born, so my mother raised me as well as she could, until… She became very ill, and no one in the village could heal her. I tried to – joined the academy, but I couldn’t learn any medical jutsu.” Hitori’s eyes began to water. “I couldn’t save her. She withered away, slowly, in front of me, and I was helpless. I should’ve tried harder, I-

Hitori paused, sniffing. “She used to read to me before she died. Every night. But when she became so sick that words hurt her throat, I read to her. I read to her every single night. I read to her when I was ill, took care of myself, but I still read to her. But then… she forgot who I was…”

“But I still read to her. It was like talking to a shell. No one lived in that house but me. And it’s still the same. A year later she died. Before I was eight. ” Hitori wiped away the tears that streamed down his face. “That’s why I want to become the world’s greatest medical shinobi. So that no one has to experience what I had to, no matter what I have to do. I’d do anything.”

“That’s an admirable goal,” Komori said as he looked directly towards the sun like you were always told not to like the rebellious badass that he was. Then he looked away because his eyes started to burn from the intensity of the sunlight. Bad idea, bad idea. He then turned away from the sun and began walking. “I don’t even know my goal yet. Protecting people, I suppose. One day I’d like to be in a place where I’m able to protect as many people as I can.”

Komon was a bit astonished to hear that the boy had a background so similar to his own, but quickly deduced that it made sense, it explained the boys dedication to the healing arts much like komons dedication to the art of battle, they both wanted to ensure that nothing happened to the ones they cared about when they could have done something to stop it. Seeing that the other two gennin were getting a bit emotional Komon decided that it would be best to change the subject if at all possible.

Komon took the pause in conversation to interject cheerfully, “Well that was depressing!” He said before continuing, “The sun is setting, Me and Komori should really head back… You’re more than welcome to come with us if you want tho” Komon would say offering to walk the young gennin back to the village. After all Kumogakure wasn’t really known for its beautiful scenery and he didn’t want the kid to walk into a corpse infested field in the dark.

“You coming Komori? Hitori?” he would say before turning toward the path that cut through the forest, the ground covered in freshly fallen leaves.

Hitori dried his face and hopped up. “I’m coming, thanks,” he mumbled, fluttering his red swollen eyes. Poor Komori, Hitori thought looking back at the genin. I wish I could help you, but that’s one wound I can’t heal. Not yet. Hitori looked on to Komon and began to follow Komon. But Komon… Did he really put the event behind him? Or was it something he suppressed? Hitori couldn’t fathom putting such an event behind him, and the idea had never occurred to him.

“Come on, Komori,” he said, looking back.

“Yeah, I’m coming.” Komori looked off once more into the sunset once more because it felt like the thing to do at the time. This time, he looked at the sunlight instead of directly into the sun like a dumbass. He had not planned on revealing so much information about their past, but he tended to be an open book. It was not very befitting of a shinobi, but Komori did not feel like he was restrained by the societal norm. He clenched his fists and reassured himself that he would be able to determine his own path. He was a river, sometimes quite literally due to his heritage as a Hozuki. He would spit in the face of opposition and flow in his own path. He turned around and headed off with his twin brother and newfound Uzumaki friend, who he hoped he would get to spend more time with. He was especially looking forward to taking this boy under his wing, as it were, and teaching him to the best of his ability. And so began the tale of Komori the Sensei, one of the most unqualified yet surprisingly fitting for the role of a teacher. Teaching people to defend themselves. There's honor in that.
