(A.U.N) pg16

We walked on for awhile in awkward silence, I didn't know what to say.  I could see how she might be upset over how I acted. A lot of things have happened, her village got attacked and she's unaware of how her friends and family are fairing. "So who was she, who's Yumie and how do you know her?" Corrine asked abruptly. "We grew up in the same village together, she's an old friend, but I didn't go easy on her or anything." I found myself feeling embarrassed answering for more than what was asked. Corrine continued to walk in front of me saying, "Are you two still friends?"  I shook my head as we walked " Do you try to kill your friends?" I responded sarcastically, it was a silly question she asked. Corrine turned and faced with a flustered look on her face " Of course not, but I'm not working against other Banju ninja either, you Teisei ninjas have no honor." She shook her head in disbelief as she spoke. What she said was pretty harsh, we work for money to support are clan who support the village. "If taking a mission regardless of whether it may put me at odds with another clan from the village means I have no honor then so be it. Corrine was shocked by my reply, her eyes wondered away from me as she slowly turned back around. She maintained a concerned look on her face. "If you were given a mission right now from your village, to turn on Hien, Suri and myself would you?" I'd better put her doubts to rest, Corrine not trusting me would be bad given are current situation. "No, I've been told by the Kazankage that there are no missions of more importance than this one." Corrine looks over her shoulder and stares at me for a long while. It's those eyes, she must be trying to see if I'm lying to her.  "I'm glad to hear that then," She said after a sigh of relief. A thought arose as she turned forward, "Hien can travel through time, right?" Corrine turns to face me as she says "Yea, why do you ask ?" I cross my arms as I speak, " Then why doesn't he just go back and stop the attack on Banju from happening or why doesn't any of his clan for that matter?" It was something that had been nagging at me for awhile. Corrine placed her arms behind her back and sighed saying "The Jikokuwa have a rule about respecting time and using what they can do responsibly." I crouched down and looked up at Corrine with a raised eyebrow, I didn't really get how or why they would need to respect something that can't be touched or seen.  Corrine continued to explain "I'm not one hundred percent on all the details but from what Hien told me. There was once a member of the Jikokuwa clan that abused the Tokigan and created a severe time shift. After they had managed to contain the problem as much as they could they ultimately came to the decision that they could no longer amongst others on the mainland, especially after what had happened, to include those who were hunting bloodline limit users. I stood up placing my hands on my hips saying " what happened you never said what he did?" Corrine layed her arms across her belly, "He tried to change something that happened in the past and I guess when he did he changed other things in the future. From my understanding a lot of other people suffered because of this." I had heard something like this before, I think. "Who exactly suffered?" I further questioned Corrine. She rolled her eyes as she answered me "I really don't know, I mean think like, it's the reason why some clans got wiped out and why some things are the way they are now. Hien wasn't very specific when he told me the story, he just made the point that it's why they hold themselves to a high code of responsibility and respect for the passage of time. I  wasn't going to get anymore out of her on this subject, I decided it was enough as I shrugged my shoulders and began to walk past her. Corrine turned with e and grabbed my wrist as I tried to pass her. I looked back at her with a stern look. "Now I have a question for you," Corrine said with a smirk. Fair enough, I thought as I turned to face her after she released my wrist. "Okay, is it true that the Chuushin of Teisei are the Kazankage personal guard? And, is Akane Kajina one of them?" Corrine sounded excited when she mentioned the Chuushin. I had know idea that they were that famous, I'd figure that most people would hate them. "Yes, to both questions, why did you ask?" What about the Chuushin and Akane Kajina interested her. Corrine's face lit up with ecstasy "wow, do you ever see them, have you seen Akane in person? I just love her, she's like the idol for kunoichi's everywhere." I scratched the back of my head in disbelief, she was a fan, how cute. "Yea I've seen this before and Akane, but you know there are other female Chuushin right, like . . . " Corrine interrupted me as she ranted on about how much better Akane was than the other twelve members of the guard. I had enough, so began to walk away from her saying "Come on we still need to find Kyo, right." Corrine ran to the side of me while saying, "Your right, but I've still got more questions though." She smiled as she talked. Her smile was beautiful and it made a little happy to see her not sulking about Banju.
