Ayana was unusually quiet, her gaze empty and her expression neutral. Flesh mended, bones returning back to how they once were, life returning to Sasuke as if it had never left. She remained motionless, still like a statue. Her mind empty and free of emotion and thought as her head leaned backward lifelessly. [h1][/h1] Hiroshi’s voi[b]c[/b]e reached her ears, bringing her out of her daze, she could feel his gaze upon her. She remained silent at first as she lowered her head, hair shading her eyes from view. She began to tremble, looking like she was about to break down into tears. Hands clasped tightly into fists pressed deeply into her thighs as they begun to shake. [h1][/h1] Suddenly raising her head, her sapphire eyes having a glimmer behind them without a hint of tears to be found. Her gaze met Sasukes, as if she was looking upon him for the very first time. Her whole body trembling in excitement and anticipation. A s[b]l[/b]ow crooked smile spread across her face as she reached down and slowly pulled out the rock from its safe spot tucked inside of her shirt.[color=f7941d] “So….you saw it did you?[/color] [color=ed1c24]You saw it Hiroshi?”[/color] Her voice was cool and calm as she broke her silence. Bringing the black rock up into the palm of her head as she held it before herself and in view of Hiroshi. Something wasn't right, what he had said didn't make sense, drop the rock? Why the hell would she ever do that, it wasn't just a rock, couldn't he see? [h1][/h1] Shaking her head as a look of disappointment appeared across her features, furrowing her brow as she let out a sigh. [color=f7941d]“No, that isn’t right, that isn’t right at all, yo[b]u[/b] only saw what you think you saw, but[/color] [color=ed1c24]you truly do not see what I have, no, no no, that just won’t do, that just won’t do at all…I can not drop it and I will not drop it….”[/color] Admonishing him and herself. Her gaze locked onto the rock within her palms as she frowned. Staring into its black void-like texture. Taking it all in for a brief moment, until something inside of her clicked, like a jolt that traveled from her memory to the rest of her body. She had to show them, she had to show them all the truth. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“What you see is not just a rock, this is so much more than that…..but it is understandable you see, no one but I can see it for what it really is, no one but I was given the blessing to understand what this is[/color] [color=ed1c24]and what it does….you see nothing more than a rock, it has beco[b]m[/b]e clear that you do not have the vision….”[/color] Her frown melted away into a smile as her blue eyes widened ablaze with a bright intense energy. [color=f7941d]“Soon, soon you will all[/color] [color=ed1c24]see, see what I mean!”[/color] beginning to laugh as if she couldn’t stop herself. Having a moment of realization and acceptance that no one but her could see the truth that was before her. No one else had the same gift, not a single one of her classmates would understand any of it. [h1][/h1] Her laughing continued as she reached down, tucking the rock away within her shirt as she held her sides hunching over into ball as she dropped to her knees. It was like she had just heard the most hilarious joke [b]s[/b]he had ever heard in her life. Her laughter increased in intensity and volume the longer it went. Continuing on for far longer then what would be comfortable, she laughed so hard that tears had begun to well up within her eyes. Her left hand slowly snaked its way up to her face as she covered her left eye, lifting her head up as her laughter started to fade away. One visible blue eye filled with intensity that had never graced it before. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“I can see it all now, what was hidden from my mind and view before…it is all here again[/color] [color=ed1c24]once more….I know who I am….I can feel it within the deepest part of my soul….”[/color] a serious and cold tone unusual for Ayana filling the air. She could feel the truth inside of her mind unlocking once again. She knew what must be done, and now was the time to do it. Reaching up she undid her side pony tail, giving a flick of her hand to release her hair as it fell down around her shoulders. Her brow furrowed as her eyes shifted side to side as if she was debating something within her ver[b]y[/b] own mind.

Gaze locked onto Hiroshi and the others gathered around him.

There was only one option, there was only one route. Embrace it, give in, show them all. Taking another step closer, her body swaying to the right, she couldn't hide the grin on her face. Blue eyes filled with red hot intensity and fire. Determination to do what must be done filling her to the brim. [color=f7941d]"I'm back, I'm back and better then ever.....I can fe[/color][color=ed1c24]el it coursing through my veins, what a wonderful feeling...." [/color]her laughter soon following her claim. Whatever was happening now, brought on by the by everything she had witnessed, the tasting of Duncan's blood, the pent up emotions within Ayana. She wasn't going to hold it in any longer, her memories had flooded back into her mind, it was time.
