Mom is probably worried as fuck about me, let alone Aisha.” [/b][/color] If there was anything that Jaakuna wanted to do at this very moment, that would be to go home and lay in his bed. However, before he could do that, he knew he would have to explain to his mother where he had been for the past couple of days. The last time she saw him and him her, it was briefly when he got back from his mission. After that, his mother scolded him for getting injured yet again and made him go check himself into the hospital. Jaakuna had taken a shortcut to go home. He was going through Minato City. It was the fastest and fortunately for him, the most direct route. However, just as Jaakuna would be less than ten miles away from his home, he felt a buzz from within his pocket. He reached in and he received a new text message. [quote=Fujitora][color=silver]You have been selected to participate in top priority mission. The pay will be of considerable size if successful. Waiting point is behind the great Tenzu Hall, in front of the back exit. Currently the film festival is taking place there. Your client will give you all the details. Good luck.[/color] [/quote] [color=goldenrod][b]“The fuck? “[/b][/color] Jaakuna sighed in annoyance. He didn’t want to feel the wrath of his mother even more, but a mission was calling his name. [color=goldenrod][b]“I’ll just have hear it from her when I get back.” [/b][/color]Jaakuna shrugged as he texted Fujitora back. [quote=Jaakuna][color=goldenrod]This was sudden, but whatever. I’m on my way. >.>[/color][/quote] As he changed his direction and went towards the Tenzu Hall, Jaakuna realized he was still ways away from Tenzu Hall. So, he decided that he would make great distance by using the rooftops as means to gain great distance in almost half the time. It worked too as Jaakuna soon found himself in the sight of Tenzu Hall. He both saw and heard all of the yelling and cheering from the Film Festival. [color=goldenrod][I]Oh how I wish I could go there. Sounds and looks like fun. Plus, hot actresses.[/I][/color] Jaakuna sighed as he jumped down the building and avoided sight from all of the multiple people enjoying the festival. When he went towards the back entrance of the hall, Jaakuna saw two people waiting. One was of green hair and the other of red. [color=goldenrod][b]“Eyy, Daiki, Keshi!”[/b][/color] Jaakuna said waving to his comrads for the mission. “Seems like you two got the same text, huh?” Jaakuna said as he stood near Daiki. [color=goldenrod][b]“I was hoping to at least get some relaxation before my next mission. I just got out of jail for Christ’s sake.” [/b][/color]And there went Jaakuna’s mouth revealing what he should have kept a secret. Oh well.

[color=7ea7d8][b]“But mom, this is the tenth time already.” [/b][/color]Rin said, complaining. [color=00a99d][b]“DO IT!”[/b][/color] Hana’s voice roared with such authority and demand that it shook Rin down to her core. [color=7ea7d8][b]“Fine,”[/b][/color] Rin said angrily, but she did not protest anymore. As she started weaving hand seals, Rin’s chakra became visible as this was the training exercise that her mother had did with her for the past two days and every other week before that. Her chakra wasn’t as strong as her siblings, but there was it was obvious to anyone that Rin’s chakra was indeed strong for a genin. It had the shade of icy-blue and bits of the air were being chilled to the ground and snowflakes were being formed around Rin’s radius. [color=00a99d][b]“Now do it, Rin!” [/b][/color]Hana demanded. [color=7ea7d8][b]“HERE I GO!”[/b][/color] Rin shouted, her chakra suddenly surrounding the snowflakes that had formed around her. The white snowflakes now had a light blue aura of chakra surrounding them. [color=7ea7d8][b]“Ice Release: Snowflake Storm!”[/b][/color] Rin shouted, as the chakra surrounding her exploded and the Snowflakes were starting to rapidly spin like wind blades. Rin held them there until the chakra sharpened them. [color=00a99d][b]“SHOOT!”[/b][/color] Hana shouted as she stood across from Rin. Rin heeded what her mother said as she prepared to shoot the snowflakes. She extended both arms outward. Ideally, the snowflakes would go forward. However, something went terribly wrong. Instead of them going forward, all of the snowflakes went all over the back patio striking the trees, some landing in the water, and one even got dug shallowly into Rin’s shoulder. [color=7ea7d8][b]“FUCK!”[/b][/color] Rin cursed. Hana shook her head. [color=00a99d][b]“You didn’t focus, did you?”[/b][/color] She asked Rin. [color=7ea7d8][b]“I did too!”[/b][/color] She insisted. [color=00a99d][b]“Obviously not enough.” [/b][/color]She shook her head again and walked up to Rin, [color=00a99d][b]“My dear daughter, you’ll never get stronger if you don’t discipline yourself.”[/b][/color] [color=7ea7d8][b]“I told you that I couldn’t do it. This technique is a high B-rank. I’m not able to do it.”[/b][/color] Rin said. [color=00a99d][b]“With that attitude, you’re right.”[/b][/color] She said, [color=00a99d][b]“your brothers were able to master this technique in five weeks when they were your age and you’ve been at this for almost a full year.”[/b][/color] Hana looked at her daughter with a bit of disappointment, but overshadowed by sadness for her daughter. [color=7ea7d8][b]“Why don’t you or dad get it through your thick head! I’m not like Rex or Yukino. I’m not going to be like them.”[/b][/color] [color=00a99d][b]“ENOUGH!”[/b][/color] Hana’s voice silenced young Rin, [color=00a99d][b]“you are the first female Reikan in three generations to have our Bloodline Trait. Your oldest sister Kagetsu doesn’t have it, nor does your second oldest sister, Yukina. There‘s a lot riding on you, Rin. I‘m pulling for you and your father--” [/b][/color] [color=7ea7d8][b]“My father what? He’s pulling for me too? Don’t make me laugh, Mother. You know he hoped that I was never born. He hates me.”[/b][/color] Rin said, but was met with a slap by her mother. [color=00a99d][b]“Don’t you ever say that, you hear me? You know nothing what Luscious feels for you, nothing at all.” [/b][/color] Hana said as she walked off, leaving Rin to think about what she just said. Rin held her cheek, it having a red handprint from Hana. She just watched as her mother went back inside the house. Rin didn’t know what her mother meant by that. All of her life, her father had been nothing but cruel and mean to her. Every chance he got, he would make her feel like she wasn’t worth anything, least of all to him. She always saw that he favored Rex and Yukino. He even treated Kagetsu better than he did Rin. He only showed her affection when Rin did something good, like when she came back from her mission two days ago. He just gave her a few words of approval, but even that wasn’t much. It was for that reason alone that had Rin so confused about what her mother said and she wanted to know what she meant by that. [color=7ea7d8][b]“She's wrong. I know how father feels about me."[/b][/color] Rin said lowly. It was as if she had to reassure herself, as if there was doubt in her mind. She didn't realize it yet, but she didn't know how wrong she had it.
