*Recap:
"It's fine. I'll sleep on the floor." She hesitated, but then nodded. I swear, her words, even her personality seems so familiar to me. Why is that?
Maybe...maybe if I could just see her face.........

*Thao's P.O.V.
My eyes widened as he lead me through a door. It was more like a training room, with katanas and other weapons hanging off three of the walls. The floor was covered with bamboo mats and padding. Boundary lines were drawn on the floor marking up spaces.
"I would hope this isn't your room." I looked around more, analyzing the room. There seemed to be square patches where the ground was uneven, I'm guessing those were targets or dummies used for targeting practice and taijutsu practice.
He chuckled softly, "No, this is my private training room. You may use it if you'd like I don't really use it unless it's for teaching others." He walked to the wall with no weapons on it. Opening the screen door.
"You teach?"
"Not professionally, I personally think I'm horrible, but I try to help."
I nodded in understanding, I think I'd make a horrible teacher too. I don't even know why the Hokage assigned me to be an assistant teacher. I wouldn't be much help. I followed after him as he walked inside the next room.
Which was simple and plain. Is room was neat and clean, not a scrap of litter or article of clothing anywhere on the floor. His bed, on the right side of the room when you walk in, was made to perfection. He had one mahogany wardrobe and a lamp, but that seemed to be it for furniture. There was a window on one side of the room.
The walls were a plain white or eggshell type of color, except for the unfinished painting of the wall parallel to the bed. It seemed to be a set of unfinished eyes, surrounded by a variety of different colors. The eyes weren't very normal. For starters the irises--if you could call them that--weren't identical. One had the sharingan, one had....I can't really explain what the other had. (A/N: maybe i'll put a pic on the side T^T)
"Like it?" I turned my head away from the unfinished mural and looked at Sho. His voice, seemed hollow and expressionless, his facial expression just the same.
"It's...interesting...why don't you finish it?"
"One, it's not mines to finish," he looked at the mural longingly, "Two, this was suppose to mean something..and now...it's meaning doesn't exists anymore, at least based on what she told me."
I processed what he said in my mind. "You didn't make this.....what was it suppose to mean?"
"Unity." His voice cracked a bit saying that one word softly. I nodded and sat next to him on the bed. For some odd reason he was comfortable to talk to, someone I felt like I could easily trust. He was easy to talk to, like a best friend or something.
"Unity," I looked at the floor boards, "Who made it?"
He huffed and choked on a laugh, "My impossible childhood crush."
"Impossible?" I tilted my head, looking back up at him as I furrowed my brow, 'How so?"
"I only realized I actually loved her a couple of years after she supposedly died, but nothing would've happened anyways. If I did realise in time, it wouldn't have made a difference."
"Supposedly? Why not?"
"She supposedly died, they never found her body...in the Kouga Massacre. At the time she was only four, I was six." I nodded sadly, that seemed to be a horrible first crush.
"You're love life is a story, you know that?"
"Well, your whole life is. Whole clan murdered when you were young. When you lived on I'm guessing you were bullied and made fun of? Taunted? Harassed? Abused?" He looked at my on that last one with a look of pity, "Ignored?" The last one seemed to hurt the most, even though he said it the softest.
I felt my eyes steadily become more teary as we stared at each other, all of his works sinking in. "All of the above."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I dn't even remeber most of what happened. Just the color red, and the contract that was made." I refrained from telling him that I knew the massacre happened at the Uchiha compound.
He nodded slowly. "Hey..." he trailed off.
"Yes?"
"I'm curious can I do something?"
Something inside of me told me I could trust him, so I did. I nodded and stayed still as he scooted closer to me on the bed. He visibly sucked in a breathe, as lifted his hand up, reaching for my mask. I bit my lip for some odd reason. I even tensed as he took my anbu mask off. For a second something flashed in his eyes. Recognition, maybe?
He gave my back my mask, scooting away from me. "What-What was that for?" I didn't put my mask back on, instead I kept looking at him.
"Ju-Just to confirm something," he looked at me, but didn't seem like he was really looking at me. "It's nothing." I cringed. I've grown to hate that word, nothing.
People used that term for a cover up, or just to move on form something. Since I've been lied to most of my life I've always wanted to know everything, call it flaw. I just really hate that word, nothing is nothing because everything means something. At least that's what I believe.
I sighed, getting up. "You can tell me when you're ready, whenever you feel is right. I've learned to be patient."
*Sho's P.O.V.
........It's definately her.
I snapped out of my thoughts. Instinctively plastering a fake smile on my face. "Yeah...ok." It faltered into a half smile as I shook away my thoughts and continued to look at her. I changed my train of thought again, fake yawning.
"Tired?" I nodded.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to brush my teeth first. The door to the bathroom is actually under the unfinished mural." She nodded in understanding and I stood up heading for the bathroom. "There's extra toothbrushes in the cabinet under the sink, or behiind the mirror."
*3rd Person's P.O.V.
After Sho finished brushing his teeth he leaned against the sink, using his arms to support his weight. He sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair. Memories of his past flashing in and ot of his brain as he made the connection. He knew Thao. She was the supposed dead girl who made the unfinished mural.
Back then she used to make him all sorts of art. He had a scratchbook hidden under lock and key, but there were some scraps of paper she would draw on and leave in random places, because she didn't like the cleaness of his room. He chuckled at the old memory. With her brother, they were the three musketeers. And he'd always just to think that without her brother, him and said girl would be like Romeo and Juliet.
In truth, as soon as he saw her up close he knew it was her, even if it was just partly and not straight on, even if it was just a little; he remembered.. He just never believed it, he thought it was a trick, illusion, maybe the transformation jutsu, but he confirmed it. And sonner or later, since Thao didn't remember her past, he'd have to tell her sooner or later. He prefered later, but he knew better.
I'll tell her tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Thao blew her hair out of her face and layed back on Sho's bed. The gears in her head working up questions, hypothesis, theories. The more she thought the more her head hurt. She finally gave up, deciding to wait till later on. She was patient after all, and with time she knew she was going to know about what happened when she was four.
She turned on her side, facing the mural.
The meaning was 'Unity' Is that truly unattainable?
what where the two forces the mystery girl from Sho's past wanted to unite?
Before knowing it, Thao fell asleep.
