Thread: The Traitor of Otogakure [AU Naruto RP] (Yuna & Silverknight's 1x1) -- CLOSED

Tayuya To say the past several years had been a major and very much real hell for the former Sound kunoichi, Tayuya, was a massive understatement. It had been miserable and at first, everything felt like an impossible struggle. The life of becoming a wandering shinobi as opposed to staying loyal to Otogakure had forced her into a nomadic lifestyle, making her move from nation to nation. Even before her travels, however, the list of places she could even try to go had been drastically dwindled down. There were three locations that she could never step foot into without risking signing away her death wish Konohagakre, Otogakure, or Sunagakure. Poor Tayuya's past was known in all three nations and she had known perfectly well that none of them would dare accept her. They'd rather kill her before giving her a second chance. Thankfully, however, the now seventeen year old had been residing in one of the smaller nations. Yugakure, a small but prosperous enough country which focused on tourism, had offered her a job as a bard. It fit her perfectly enough and they more than needed the morale boost. Apparently, some silver-haired man had gone insane years ago and killed off a good number of the population before leaving himself. Needless to say, Tayuya had been grateful for every day that passed by and she never had to worry about encountering the same male they spoke of. Whomever he was seemed to have no reason to return. Good. Don't need anymore shit fucking up for me ... At the moment, Tayuya was off duty and resting in her room. Every now and again, she took walks outside or was even sent off as an errand girl. She never minded for two reasons extra money was just that. Moreover, although, Tayuya never went truly alone. During her near-death experience, she'd barely managed to hide her flute away so that even though the trees had crushed her, the redhead had been able to keep her prized flute and weapon safe. It'd taken much time, effort, and money to help get her healed up. But here she was, living and breathing well enough. The damn trees had, however, left multiple bruises and the surgeries resulted in many scars. It had been close according to many of her co-workers. She almost hadn't made it after a few of her own ribs punctured her own lung. Her head quickly shook as she dismissed the thoughts aside. A few slightly struggled gasps passed her lips as she swallowed softly. No ... no, fuck and no! No point! she reminded herself, her eyes slowly closing as she fell back upon her bed. Those days are gone, dead, over ... Despite her own words, Tayuya couldn't help but think back to the same day she'd been sent on her suicide mission to retrieve the bratty Uchiha. She wasn't sure if any of the others had made it out alive or not. All of them, she guessed, had close calls. But how many had avoided the Shinigami? Truth be told, there was only one she even hoped had been given that type of fortune and the name softly escaped her lips. Kimimaru ... Of all the members, he was the only one she'd even slightly respected. It made her feel slightly annoyed at having had to betray Otogakure. But when all was said and done, Tayuya knew it had been the right thing to do. Snake-yaro, her nickname for Orochimaru, would likely have killed her or worse. Her hand subconsciously went to the nape of her neck where her Cursed Seal still remained. It had never pestered her. But still, she couldn't help but fear one day, it would activate. And when it did, she knew the meaning behind it. She would be sought after and not in a good way at all. The mere thoughts made her grip her lower lip to stifle a whimper as her body lightly trembled on the bed. Finally, her mind managed to dismiss the 'what-if scenarios' as she resumed relaxing upon her cot, thinking of nothing neither good nor bad.
