((There is the power gap between upper-level chuunin and newly-made (I believe?) genin to consider, but I'll go along with it. An eye for an eye. I blame Jashin. >_< *shrugs*
Oh, and it's a small and insignificant wrinkle, but I don't think Rini ever specifically mentioned a god of any sort. She just referred to Jashin as "He", which could be anyone, really, to someone that doesn't already know about him.))

Unfortunately, Rini's words did not have the desired effect. She had not intended to wave any station in the boy's face -- after all, she had not been raised with any station and had only gained the title of "Mizukage's Daughter" through adoption. Instead, she had -- in some unconscious way, in her fury -- meant to answer the boy's question as to her identity and warn him off of further action against her or Sindenky lest there were dire consequences. She did not want to see the boy dead just yet, after all, especially since Jashin appeared to have some sort of interest in him. Instead, her words had sparked fury in him. Curious.
When the tendril found her wrist, her gaze dropped to it as her hand instinctively wrapped around it. Very curious. When he jerked on it, she tensed to tug against him with her medic strength but something cold seeped down her spine and stilled her. Hold. Confusion flickered across Rini's face moments before Niko's lips found hers. The High Priestess's eyes widened and then dulled and relaxed, staring emptily at nothing by the time the genin pulled away. Some part of her noted that Niko was speaking, but his words fell muffled into her ears, nearly inaudible. Rini's lips barely moved as just-as-soft words flowed between them. "What a piece of work is a man . . ." Were those her words? Or His?
Then Niko shoved her, and still her body would not respond properly. She stumbled, twisted, and her heel caught on a rock. The woman crumpled to the ground with a hiss of pain as the jostle caused the bloodstains down her back, right arm, and legs to blossom further. Somehow she managed to catch herself on her right arm, lessening the impact. Still, her head spun slightly, and as her vision cleared, she found herself staring at feet. Rini blinked and her gaze drifted up past boots and old pants and layers of mix-matched shirts, robes, belts, and wrappings until she found the face that owned them -- or the eyes, rather. They were shadowed, hidden beneath hood, mask, and scarf, but she knew those eyes -- or part of them at least. The eyes she knew would not hold such uncertainty -- such anxiety -- such fear.
Tears rose unbidden as a faint whisper clawed its way from her throat. "You are not my Sin." Her head dropped and she curled in upon herself, not paying heed to Aki or the fact that she was probably getting dirt somewhere she should not. The truth was there in his eyes. No matter what Aki or Masumi or Mikyo said -- this man was not Sindenky Sosei. If he was, he would know her -- would not look at her with such eyes. She was right -- Niko was right. Her Sindenky was dead. "Gone. Gone. Go away. Go away. You lied to me. Go away!" She could not bring herself to end the stranger -- the liar -- the fake, so with those last words, she did the next best thing. Rini clutched her pendant and shoved her corrupted chakra into it, knowing full well the action would trigger a reaction in the Blood Bond -- a reaction that would likely chase the ragged man away.
Out of sight, out of mind.

((Sorry it's so long -- both in the time it took me to answer and the content. Been busy these past few days. Oh! and cyber-brownies to the ones that get the reference! Sorry, couldn't help myself. >_< lol))

The crunch of dirt signaled the Liar's movement to Rini's side. She started to curl tighter, uncertain of what he wanted, but then she felt the touch to her hair and the fainter touch to the back of her mind. Slowly, she relaxed beneath the dual touch and stopped the flow of chakra through the Blood Bond. What was this? Was he offering her comfort? Had something changed? Slowly and carefully she shifted and lifted one hand. It found his knee, his thigh, his hip, and then she hooked her arm loosely around his waist and pulled herself closer to him. She kept her movements slow so as not to startle him as she shifted to rest her head on his lap and take comfort in his proximity.
For all that his eyes spoke of a lack of Sin, everything else about him argued otherwise -- his scent -- his warmth -- his ethereal brush against her mind -- the Bond forged in blood and chakra. It was all there and she wished more than anything -- hoped against hope -- that somehow she was wrong and that this man was her Sin. The pain in her back and arm meant nothing so long as she had his touch -- his warmth -- his presence at her side.
Exhaustion swept over Rini, even as Aki spoke somewhere nearby. The High Priestess was faintly aware of those words but was too tired -- physically and emotionally -- to act on them. She was content with dozing off and pretending again -- pretending that this man was really her Sin, wholly and completely, even if that meant that her heart would be crushed as soon as she returned to being fully awake.
