The Innocent Princess (Gaara Love Story)

Chapter 8

Miyoko's P.O.V.

I saw her walk away with her head down. She didn't turn around to look back or anything. She just kept on walking away. I wanted to run after her and comfort her but I couldn't really move. It was like my feet were glued to the floor. It just pains me to know that she's going through a lot and doesn't want to reach out for help.

"Sir, you're free to go now." The nurse said behind me and made me snap back to reality.

"Thank you for everything you've done to help Ryumi." I said before bowing to her a little. She gave me an chuckle before waving her hands towards me.

"It's my job as a nurse in the hospital to help those who are injured and everything in that nature." She said while bowing as well. I then said my goodbyes to her and left the hospital.

I walked out of the hospital to see kids running around the village with their friends and laughing happily. I then see kids with their parents walking to different stores and swinging their kids back and forth. Their laughter fills the air and it almost pains me to notice that Ryumi has never experienced this. Just by realizing what's she's been through, all she ever wanted was someone to care for her.

I walked for what felt like hours. Though most of the time, I was being occupied by my mind and thoughts. There has been a lot going on through my head that I can't automatically speak about. Like the real reason I actually came to the village and live here. It was so sudden but the request of the Raikage must be fulfilled. After being occupied by my thoughts, I reached my apartment. I took out the key and unlocked the door. As soon as I walked in, I felt this eerie aura that I couldn't shake off. Something seemed off and I couldn't place my finger on it. My hand reached for my kunai which was in my back pocket and slowly pulled out my kunai. As soon as I took out my kunai, I turned around and was automatically met with someone with a kunai.

I gasped at who I saw, "Tamaki?" He didn't move from his place and continue to stand like how he was for a minute before withdrawing his kunai. "Tamaki, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to give you your remind of what your mission is." Tamakai said to me while folding his arms together. "Sorry if I hurt you in any way." Tamaki then proceeded to close all the open windows and blinds to block off from anyone hearing our conversation. Tamaki isn't really like the other ninjas from my village. He'll act the toughest and even scare people with his looks but deep down his actually a soft guy. At heart, he's very gentle with everything that counts as valuable in his dictionary.

"I believe you couldn't have sent me a message like pen and paper." I told Tamaki with a tone of annoyance. Tamaki is known for looking very intimidating and scary but when he's around his close comrades, he's really clueless and an airhead.

"I'm sorry but a mere bird won't really get to you in time. What I have is more information for you." Tamaki said and I tensed up a little because at times the Raikage gives unusual requests when on a mission. "I got word from Raikage that once she's been found you're given two options, to kill her yourself or let her be killed in our hands. That's if you find her here."

"Tamaki, I haven't been here for long. I won't be able to figure out who she is yet. I'll just need time." I told Tamaki while running hands through my hair. What the Raikage gave me is a stressful job since this involves me finding her and potentially killing a child with said 'great powers.'

"You may need time but time is limited. The Raikage said that the girl who was going to inherit the powers of the Great Fumiko Ōtsutsuki, the daughter of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, would already be a Genin already. Time is wasting, Miyoko. It's best if you kill her off once you find her than to have be dragged to the Cloud Village." Tamaki said to me with a serious tone. The room fell in silence when Tamaki said that. It was silent enough to hear someone else's heartbeat.
