I felt numb. Maki was back.....but it still came at a cost. If I had protected her in the first place.....
"Maki," I said quietly, "I'm going to leave for a bit.Kai take care of Maki ok?"
"Hachi!" Maki and Kai said together.
"I jussssst have to leave for a bit," I answered, "I'll be back ssssoner or later, but I have a few thingsss to sssort out."
"Hachi! We just got back together as a family!" Maki said nearly in tears.
"It'ssss jussst sssomething I have to do," I answered.
"Is this about Yuri?" Kai asked.
"No.....it'sss about me....ssso I'm leaving for a bit," I answered. I bent my head down a bit and black hair hit my eyes.
"I thought you would go back to normal....." Kai said, "but you still have black hair and red eyes.....Hachi.....are you ever going to come back?"
"When I sssort thisss out.....I'll come back," I answered, "And Kai you won't be able to find me ssso don't try."
"W-w-what do you mean?" Kai asked.
"I have my waysss ssso later," I said. I had a bag with me, but all of my normal clothes had to be left behind. I merely had a black shirt and some blue jeans.
"Hachi please don't! Don't break up the family!" Kai begged.
"I'm not," I answered, "You and Maki are ssstill here....and sssomeday, I'll come back as well. Get ssstronger with your blades and don't wreck the houssse."
And with that I walked out of the house and teleported away. When I released the jutsu I was in a city. It was bussiling with people. I sighed and walked on.
