" Hanabi " I closed my eyes immediately after hearing my father's voice .

" I know you're awake my love " he caressed my hair lovingly..
" if you could just tell me what's bothering you , you haven't leave your room for days. I'm worried Hanabi " and there finally I opened my eyes and looked at my father .
" f- father " a sob escaped my lips.
" daughter " I sat on my bed and embraced him. As always , he's my comfort . After my mother died , my father became more caring towards me , he never let me get hurt . My father never hurt me . My father suit the words ' a good man ' , indeed.

" are you alright ? " his soft voice is like a sweet comforting melody to my ears .
" I am not " I sob.

He sooth my hair gently.

" is it because of Hayabusa ? that kid stopped here before he  leave , saying he wants to bid his farewell to you " my cries got louder .

My father's hug tighten around me, as if assuring me that everything is fine... but.. no. Imagining Hayabusa with Kagura breaks my heart into pieces .. I cannot lose the man I love. I haven't even confess my feelings yet. This is torture.

" get yourself together Hanabi. I can find you a better and deserving man , if you want me to . There's so many ninja out there! hungry for your attention! Never settle for less " I just smiled at what my father told me. Maybe he's right, that I deserve someone better but no. Hayabusa is more than better. He's the love of my life.

Father and I had a small conversation and he finally bid his goodbyes ,as you know he has something to do as a Supreme Grandmaster .

A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I throw my blades in a dart board. I can't concentrate , all I could think of was Hayabusa . I'm just wondering of how he's doing or did he already finished his mission . It's been a week and I haven't heard anything about them .

I shook my head and focused on the dart board. I throw my blades continuously and it all hit the bullseye.

A smile escaped my lips. Seeing the dart boards with my blades somehow gave pleasure to my eyes.

It's been a week since I decided to train all by myself . I wasn't interacting with the other ninjas anymore.

A sigh escaped my lips as I watch the peaceful river near in our village.

This is where I first met Hanzo. That cruel demon.

Why is he even wandering everywhere? literally, everywhere. I laid in the smooth grass and closed my eyes. A smile crept across my face.

" what if I'll just kill that demon and take all  the praises " I chuckled at what I just said but the smile in my lips slowly disappeared as I heard someone chuckling above me.

" silly girl " I immediately opened my eyes and got taken a back at what I saw.

Hanzo was standing in front of me with a mischievous smile. I immediately stood up and and keep my guard up.

" what are you doing here?" I ask as I held my blade tightly.
" oh.. I just saw a pitiful lady mourning over someone she loves who don't even love her back.. so ? I followed her . Didn't really expect that I'll see you here. And oh " he chuckled
" I heard those words you said earlier. You will kill me ? ughh you're dreaming " I just followed him with my gaze as he laid his back on the same spot where I laid earlier.

How come I didn't felt him coming ?

" cause you're so drown in sadness " my brows furrowed at what he said
" what are you talking about? "
" you probably didn't felt me behind you cause you're so drown in sadness"
