Haven from the world.

[Ryu Ookami]

He smiled. "I have heard that once or twice yes." He took a sip of the tea. "Very good."  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju's smile faltered for a second. So relaxed about me. That's the only difference between Hatori and Ookami-sama. Shinju thought saddly, But that will change once people start dying because of my curse. "You are quite the fellow." Shinju said and shook her head. "To have lived and fought to avenge your clan. Then open it and welcome others in. Simply amazing."  

[Ryu Ookami]

He chuckled. "Perhaps, but enough about me, what about you? What brings you here?"  

[cursedshinju]

"I came here to find some one who could help me get strongh enough to control my curse. I need to be stronger." Shinju said then sipped at her tea. "Strong enought to die." Shinju mumbled to herself.  

[Ryu Ookami]

"Ah, well many of us have curses here. I would say you came to the right place." He took another sip of his tea.  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju frowned and shook her head. I'm not sure if I should feel comfortable with this situation or if I should worry. Shinju thought saddly. Shinju sipped her tea and said, "Really? I'm not sure if thats a good thing or not."  

[Ryu Ookami]

He laughed at that. "I'm sorry, that was rude. Forgive me."  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju smiled and shook her head. "I don't think you were rude. You have nothing to appologize for." Shinju said, "I just think it's intresting what you say and how you act. It reminds me of some one that was, no is, very dear to me."  

[Ryu Ookami]

"I see." He smiled and looked off into the distance.  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju smiled again. I think I can grow to like Ookami-sama. I also think I might be able to learn how to forget the pain I carry with me. Shinju thought. "Ookami-sama? What was it like fighting to avenge your clan?" Shinju asked quietly.  

[Ryu Ookami]

He didn't answer for a while. "Satisfying and disappointing at the same time."  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju nooded her head in understanding. "I think I can understand how you feel." Shinju said, "I just wanted to know if you felt the same." Shinju then shoook her head and then mumbled, "I wonder if Hatori feels the same now or maybe he still hates me."  

[Ryu Ookami]

"Ah, boyfriend trouble?"  

[cursedshinju]

Shinju shook her head. "No that isn't it. I loved Hatori but he hated me since the day we first meet. My curse killed his parents and his little brother. He travelled with me to help me overcome my curse, because as long as I have it I cannot die by normal humans means." Shinju whispered saddly, "He wanted me to die by his hands. It would be his revenge, but he ended up dying because of my curse. Before he died he made me promise to never forget the guilt for everyones death and to died once my curse was gone. That would be his new revenge on me." Why am I telling him this? What makes it okay? Shinju thought saddly.  

[Ryu Ookami]

"Ah, I see. That is terrible. Though, not as terrible as you are letting it be."
