------Ame's first order of business upon her arrival in Kiri was to pay a visit to her great-grandmother, the one who oversaw most of her ninja training when she was young. Because of this powerful woman's influence, Ame had been molded into the intelligent and talented kunoichi she was today. The young woman set about clearing the grave of unwanted debris that had collected over the years. Taking out a clean cloth, she wiped the marble headstone till it shone under the dull lighting of the solemn atmosphere.
------"Oo-obaasan, can you see me now? Are you still proud of me? I'm sorry for not visiting earlier. Things have been... Complicated." As if she were a little girl again, Ame knelt down before the grave and clasped her hands in her lap. Her demeanor melted from the cold, unfeeling warrior to that of a warm and loving little girl. "Poor Riko-sama was so hurt when her husband left. Then she disappeared too, taking me with her. We traveled for ages. And then do you know what happened?" Suddenly, the shame battered on her heart once more.
------"We set up camp one night and in the morning, she was gone. Mizukage-sama only left a note. Told me to come back to Kiri to take care of the village for her. She said she only truly trusted me." A single pearl of a tear started forming in the inner corner of her right eye. It glistened softly before falling down her smooth cheek. "But Oo-obaasan, I don't know what really happened to her. She even left her travel back. It's like she vanished like smoke." Ame briskly wiped her pale cheek. "But then I thought about it later and maybe she wanted it like that. All I'm sure of is that she's in a better place now. Life had been so harsh to such a kind person like her."
------Closing her eyes, Ame began to envision her past. How the tireless walking towards nowhere made her feet ache, but she dared not to say anything because she needed to be tough and endure. That's all she ever did: endure, learn, mature, and endure some more. She brought her knees up and wrapped her arms around her legs, resting her chin on one knee. "Are you still watching over me Oo-obaasan, like you used to?" For Ame, all she really needed was her great-grandmother's approval, like a loyal puppy who yearned only to please its master.
