Opening one eye sleepily she sees Akira getting up and beginning to practice. She's glad to see he at least keeps up his training since it can save his life and all. She continues to lay on the branch while he trains, then when he goes back inside she sighs.

"You can't make me go back father." In the branches above her stands her father, looking down on her.

"I trained you so that you could be the heir to our clan since we couldn't have a son. I've raised you as if you were my son and I will not allow you to leave."

"So you're saying I have to kill you to leave? Father, I'm leaving because I'm tired of killing people, and not in the sense that I can't tolerate it or anything. I just want to do something more with my life then just kill people for the rest of it. And you could have trained one of our cousins to inherit, not me. my aunt has plenty of boys that you could have trained."

"What possibly could you want that you didn't already have? No man is interested in you because of what you were trained to do unless its a ninja, and even then it would have to be one that can best you which none of the boys in the village can."

"Which means you can't make me go back. I'm leaving the clan for good and I'll try to find my own path in life. Try to stop me and I will kill you father." Getting up and grabbing her stuff she jumps down into the shadows of the trees and slips into Akira's room to wait for him.
