Thread: Peace Never Lasts Forever [An AU Naruto RP] (Yuna & Malin's 1x1)

Suikoto Ashigawa Hinata Hyuuga Life hadn't been perfect for anyone living in any of the great nations. But as of late, there didn't appear to be any exceptions. In fact, it tended to be worse in some places than others. Iwagakure had been the unfortunate yet simultaneously perfect example. How so? Simple. It was the fallen figure's birthplace. There had been far too many rumors for her own liking of a civil uprising trying to happen. Many people hadn't liked the current leader, deeming him far too weak and incompetent. And while Suikoto admitted that their leader could indeed have made some better decisions, a civil coup was pushing it in her mind and eyes. Therefore, it led the seventeen year old to leave her home, not wanting to be caught up in the chaos that would very likely begin. However, her travels hadn't been as smooth as she'd hoped for several reasons. The poor girl had rushed and in the midst of her hurrying to leave Iwa, part of her had never taken the time to figure out exactly where she wanted to move to. Konoha and Suna had the best reputations by far and were good nations to reside in. Or so the rumors had said. But even if either location would be where Suikoto desired to head to, there came in the second problem. She hadn't taken a map with her ... and had paid dearly for it. She'd almost headed the correct way, towards Konohagakure. But after the third day of her leaving Iwagakure, she had been captured, beaten, and interrogated by Kumogakure shinobi. She'd been so confused and terrified at first. They continued to repeat a name .. Hyuuga or something of the like. What she'd meant was beyond her. But the only thing that had kept her eyes in place was Suikoto begging and insisting she wasn't one. Well, that was what she believed had helped out, at any rate. Needless to say, the Kumogakure nins which had found her were less than content when she took advantage of them having a massive meeting, the group seeming to be led by a renegade that wasn't fond of the Raikage and thus doing this all behind her back. Suikoto had indeed gotten away after having been kept their prisoner for a long, painful five days. But now ... her escape may not even matter. A weak cough left her lips as the limping teenager glanced around. She was tired, hungry, in dire need of medical attention ... and still lost. Her head shook weakly, causing some raven locks to move from side to side. You should have just stayed home. Nothing might have even happened ... She scolded herself in a low voice, another shudder of pain rushing through her body. A low gasp and whimper left as her legs finally gave in and she fell to her stomach and onto the ground. Trembling arms tried so desperately to push the kunoichi up .. but the efforts were in vain as she fell back. Her eyes fought, going back and forth between opening and closing quickly. All this because ... of ... mistaken identity? What a joke ... That had been all Suikoto could understand and gather from the recent captivity, at least. Tears of fear and frustration slowly fell down her white eyes, flowing down her face. Despite the color, she wasn't blind though many did assume that. And while it made sense, she wished that label wouldn't have been put upon her. What's it matter now? She added, her fists weakly clenching. Her tears continued to stream down her face, some landing on dried blood where many wounds had been made all in an attempt to get her to try to confess she had truly been a Hyuuga. And while it'd been tempting to give into the torture ... she hadn't for one reason. Come hell or high water, she wasn't one, damnit! Though it did make Suikoto curious as to why they had assumed so. There had to be a reason ... right? Her arms moved again, trying to force her into a slow, gradual crawl ...but even that failed. Her body shook as another low whimper left her lips, her head moving from side to side. I don't want to die .... not like this ... She murmured, her sobs increasing and voice simultaneously getting lower in volume. Were anyone nearby, they'd realize in a matter of moments that her body was quickly losing the will to live and yet there was still a very selfish part that was still determined and thus clinging on, not wanting Suikoto to perish then and there. Still, facts were fact and right now ... Suikoto knew this was the worst situation for her to be in. She was lost .. and as far as she knew, no one was around. Her mind estimated that she had minutes, maybe hours if lucky enough, to keep living.
