No Looking Back [Private Training] [0]

[Deleted]

The night was cold like any other. A chilly black atmosphere in the urban parts of Grass Country. The night fell silent may times over, and the living creatures of the land walking senselessly in the cold. Ignoring the fact they were leaving a living thing to its doom. She was used to it. The hunger, the pain, the tyranny surrounding her thoughts. Rui Togakekuran. The name was lost to those of this world. She no longer had a family. She was left all to herself. All to her own, wits. She... she could remember only so much. Her little home of ragged clothes, trash, and a small wood lit fire underneath a bridge to shield it from the rain. She had scavenged my blankets than she could remember, and yet still felt cold. Internally freezing to death.

Rui, was saddened by the pure fact she had made it this far. It seemed she was meant to suffer in a world of greed. A world of very unlawful wishes colliding for spot light. She was caught within the blast, and battered until ever single part of her ached for Death. Begging for its, warm loving embrace of being left alone. To be cradled n a place where she could finally, rest unscathed. The layers and layers of forgotten scars no longer a worry. But not even Death wanted her. Death is no babysitter. Not for monsters like her. Ones that can't even commit suicide correctly, because of what they became. Her life is a dark place. One she hates entirely. What...what brought her such anvil? She, could only remember the finest of details...

-Many, many years before-

"Rui!" Called a cheerful, but stern voice. The voice of a proud father calling for his beloved daughter. He waited in the lower quarters as he heard his child, call out to him in response. Rui was so young and, adorable back then. She remembers. Walking down the stairs. Her smooth scaled feet, pressing on the hard floors, as she always ran down the steps to greet her father every morning. Her tail wasn't as big as it was before. By all mighty it was still very impressive though. She was a grand pride in an ethnicity of reptilian humanoids that, are not always looked at in a positive notion. So with that she never dragged her tail as her mother frowned upon that.

"Daddy!" She'd coo jumping into his sturdy, chest clinging to him tightly as he'd intentionally squeeze her with his strong arms. Her father was a clan armorer and weapon smith. He has done a lot for the clan, as well as everyone else. At least the non-scum variants. Yet even then, there are so few that are obnoxiously troublesome its hard to point clawed fingers. "Ah, you look so pretty today. Ohohoho? Whats this I see?" He'd say poking at the blue flower tightly tucked in her hair. Rui, with all of her strength bat his large hand away. A draconian is fierce, but Rui is fierce as her face tightened into a strong glare. "Don't touch it." She warned.

Her dad only chuckling as he set her back down, then held his hand out so they could take the stroll down the street. "Okay, okay. With that attitude you could kill a lion sweetie. You make your father proud. Now, lets go meet to your mother at the shop." He ordered with a smile. Rui, brightening up as she took her small hand in his. He'd exit the house with his daughter, and lock the door accordingly. There are still thugs the Togakekuran Security Force hasn't finished rounding up yet. The walk was short. As always. Her dragon like father, knocking on the counter of the shop to signal to his wife someone was here. Rui; as cheerful as can be hopping up top on the counter to sit down and, wait...

"A moment please!" A strong, but feminine voice called out from the back of the show, followed by a series of rattling of various different types of objects could be heard. Not exactly sounding good. "Oh shoot!" The voice called out, in anguish. "You had one job!" It then angrily scowled before a blaze of flames erupted from the door arc, then snuffed itself out shortly.

"Yeah, I think she's here." Rui cheekily commented with a smirk as she looked back at her father, shaking his head at this nonsense.

"All you aright?" He then asked out loud. His head tilted downward as he waited for a reply.

"Um,...yeeah?" The voice responded back unsure for a moment. A disappointed sigh escaped as a reptilian woman with large pink-ish hair stepped through the now charred bead curtains in the door way. Her left hand on her hip as she walked with her back straight, and her face stern, but still beautiful covered in various paint markings.. "Going to need to fix that supply frame...again..." She then said, before cracking as well of a smile that she could manage. Her gaze looking at the man she was proud to call a husband as she leaned on the counter.

This woman was Rui's mother. A battle maiden that had pride in her family. Marked in one of the highest of statures. However she is rather self served in the means of only wanting to protect her family, and her race. Outsiders normally aren't friendly to Tokagekuran. So she is a bit of a skeptic one when it comes to humans. In is unlikely to be that major of a outlook though. Her biggest concerns are preparing her daughter to walk down the somewhat same path she did. Now it isn't living through her. More so of preparing tradition she can't avoid. Well she can. But she may literally die trying...

"Hey there kiddo. What are you doing up early like this?" She then said turning to her daughter. Placing her hand underneath her chin for a moment. Lifting Rui's head to where they were meeting eye to eye. She always makes it a rule to speak to her not around. Rui knowing this tore away for a moment, then realizing her error fixed it all on her own, but not with the added look of disapproval for being touched in general. "I want to starting training early remember? You aren't skipping out on me this time. No excuses." She said almost demanding it, however she was careful not to disrespect her mother while doing so.

In the natural fix of things both the mother and the father laughed at their eager child. Her father being the first to speak. "You think she will grow up to be the head of the town one day?" He asked with a big smile. "Heavens, at this rate she might even take control of the whole country." She answered

"Oh my, We will really be in trouble then." He quickly joked back. Then both of them cracked into a hearty laugh. Rui however crossing her arms as she gave them both a stone cold deadpan. "That is not funny. I may really want to rule he country. Aren't parents supposed to be encouraging?" She protested. Her face growing warm as she began feeling frustrated her parents were making fun of her dreams. Realizing their error both of them aww'd at Rui walking a little closer to either side. Her mother bring her into a soft embrace.

"Shh tshh, Okay I apologize your heinous. We won't speak of this again, right honey?" She said intentionally bring her husband into it. He gave a smug look as he naturally caught on to this attempt. So he decided to make it worse for that fact alone.

"Yeah, at least not in front of you. Ha!" He said breaking into a smug and deep laugh. His scaled hand placed on his broad chest as it rose and fell with each chuckled breath.

"Honey! Don't say that!" She quickly scold, punching him in the gut earning a good oomp noise from him as he choked on the air getting caught in his throat. Once he regained some proper hopefully uninterrupted airflow. "Hey now. She knows I am kidding...You do; know I am joking right?" He said hoping he didn't earn himself a night out on the floor for this.

Rui only nodded, which earned a sigh of relief from her father. It was then that the two of them broke into a conversation right in front of her. Her mother breaking into a lecture of how it is important not to send the wrong message to children in this day in age. Her father trying to asuure her that he knew this, but dropped the crude joke out of the kindness of his heart or something. It didn't matter as Rui's concentration broke from them.

Their voices slowly breaking off in the foreground as she thought about her wishes to be very strong. Both her parents were raised as warriors. So likely she should be treated the same right? So it wasn't fair that they avoided her needs to much when she asked for them. She wanted to be as much of an idol on her own reputation. Not a borrowed fame coming from a name given to her by birth into a decently respected family. She was an only child. The first of the litter. So she felt she needed to prove her worth as much as possible regardless of what they envisioned.

Her imagination running wild as she picked them both back in their warrior gear when they were both on duty. As of late they have been only on call as they soaked up their relaxation period in the safety of their residence. Rui felt like she could feel both of their strong chakra signatures with that kind of image in her field of vision. She looked at her hands, holding them out to herself as she thought about this.

Their chakra was bright, and warm. Coating her in bloodlined strength. Rui felt empowered with this kind of response all on its own. Her mother had not only the strength of a honed, and seasoned warrior, but the strength of an inspiring mother. Her father dawning the strong independent will of nature at his fingertips. Both of them gave Rui her fix of what she wanted to be. She wanted to be strong. But now she wanted to be so strong...a mere mention of her name could empower someone to become something great. But not via some tradition only. Not afterwards she wanted to be strong on her own terms...

Now finally making up her mind, she'd suddenly speak up. Completely directed at her mother. "Mother, can we please train today? I really want to do this." She pleaded. No attitude. No commanding voice tone. Just Rui; the strength hungry reptilian girl that she was. Her chakra reaching out o further sense their signatures.
