The Encounter: A Close Distance~

With the intention of finding the truth behind his father’s disappearance; Ryumaru (at the age of thirteen) joined a group of un-affiliated warriors, led by Bushendo (a rogue samurai of notable skill). Under Bushendo’s persuasion and guidance, Ryumaru was able to fake his own death, flee Konohagakure, and maintain this ruse for three years...until this fateful encounter~ ||...Junko, Y U NO HAPPY? D< -shot- In actuality, Junko considers Ryumaru her first and closest friend; his “death” saddened her beyond words. It was simply the shock of finding Ryumaru alive, while on a completely unrelated mission that caused this...rather violent reaction ^^; (She wants an explanation, dammit! Sentiment can come later~ XD) || To be continued~ (L)
