Time to face the storm

-Talos-

It was about midnight. I had gathered my things I needed. It was time for me to face my broken past and fix a few things. I locked up my apartment and placed the key to it on my necklace.

"I sure hope this place will be okay until I get back."

I headed towards Satomi's apartment. I left a note with a spare key, and asked her to keep a watch on the place for me in the letter.

"I promised you I will return Satomi. No matter what I'll find my way back."

I had just one last stop to make. I headed to Konoha's hospital. I went up to Kimiko's room. I walked in and sat in a chair by her.

"I'm not sure if you can hear me, or understand me, but I'm sorry Kimiko. I should have been there to help you. You are important to me, and I wasn't there to help....I'm sorry. I know you are a great ninja, and I know you did everything you could..."

I held her hand for a moment.

"I've got to go now and take care of something, but I brought you a present for when you wake up."

I set a bag of cherry lollipops on the table next to her bed.

"I promised Satomi that I would come back no matter what, but it could be a promise I can't keep. So I decided that since your an orphan like me, and one of my closes friends, I am leaving you my will of storms if something happens to me. I hope to come back and have tea with you again as soon as you're awake and better."

I took off my necklace and laid it on the table next to her.

"I'm glad I meet you. I stayed in my own darkness for so long, but you showed me that I can raise up to greatness. You better wake up soon, if something happens to me, someone will need to be here to keep Satomi from going crazy. This is good bye for now."

I got up and headed towards the main gate. Lee was standing there.

"I guess it's only fitting that you would be here to see me off."

"Are you sure you should go it alone?" He asked.

"Yeah Lee. It's like you taught me. We have to protect the things most important to us, and that's what I plan to do."

He just nodded and headed back into town. I made my way on, and after going a good piece I turned back and could barely see the village.

"I promise I will return home."
