Time For A Challenge

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He took her hand and said "Do not fear dont worry I care for you and wont let anything happen and if he threatens you even a single hair I will kill him and if he even tries to draw a blade I will strike him if you worry so much I will kill him although I would preffer to live his life besides I hear he is already near his death bed"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I nodded slowly and hung on tightly to his hand.
"You still do not know." I said quietly.
"When we shinobi have a chance to get power such as yours, we take it, and do whatever we can to get it." I said, looking down at the floor.
"We are all power hungry at one point in our lifetime." I said quietly, closing my eyes.
"I know I sure was for the longest time. I wanted enough strength to become one of the greatest shinobi ever, and at one point I would've done anything to get it." I trailed off a bit.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He sighed he knew the lust for power all to well the drive to control everything he held her hand tight and he knew the lure and remembered that he had to keep under control and he said to her"That is the curse of power once you realize the possiblitys thats all you want but you have to learn to control it but the realize that it would take forever to gain power like this I know since I barely have it"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I nodded slowly.
"You kidding me? You've got the power I dreamed to have as a child!" I exclaimed, smiling a bit.
"I always wanted to be quick on my feet, with no trouble at all. I wanted to grow bigger and be built havy, so I could take down the strongest of enemies." I said, looking down, a smile still on my face.
"I didn't get my entire wish. I'm quick on my feet, compaired to some shinobi, but not compaired to you." I said quietly.
"I'm not built very big. Compaired to you I am quite tiny. And there's not a chance in the entire world, that I'd be able to take you down." I said.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He looked at her and said "trust me I am not as strong as I can be my father was far stronger then I am he was a greater ninja then I can ever hope to be but he did leave me with somthing a person to try and compete with if I surpass him then I know I am great but if you wish to grow stronger all you need is the drive to countinue fight fight as hard as you can till you surpass me"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

A big smile spread across my face.
"Thjat's my only problem." I said, chuckling.
"The harder I push myself, the more I am more likely to do a lot of damage." I said, looking down again.
"You saw it yourself, when I attempted that jutsu you've taught me. I pushed myself so far. I couldn't move my arms and legs." I said quietly.
"I don't want to go so far, especially if it were to possibly cost me my life."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled and looked at her he looked into her eyes and said "that is why you take baby steps you cant expect to run after crawling no you just learn from your mistakes"he took down a old box he had hidden down there long before in it was a necklace he placed it around her neck and he said "this is a necklace I created I enfused bits of chakra into it to help me control my own it is like a storage chamber of your chakra that is why when you run out you have a supply"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I now, carried 3 neckalces with me. I nodded slowly. I could imagine what may happen if I push myself too far one day.
"I still do not want to go so far, as to kill myself. I can never surpass you. I am just to tiny, and too fragile. I said quietly.
"To surpass you, I would have to go so far as to put my life on the edge of the line. I would love to surpass you someday, of course! But, when my life is at stake, I'd rather stay behind you."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled and said "we all have a reason to put our lives at stake but when and where is the real question" he smiled he knew if he had to put his life on the line when to and why he would he knew his own limits all to well but he had to grow strong he had to surpass his parents and show he was worth of his clans name

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I nodded.
"Like my parents, they would put their life on the line, for me and Yuo." I said.
"Yuo would do the same for me. And my parents, for each other." I said, looking down again.
"Oh, I am so tiny though! I'm not very big at all, I will only put my life on the line, if my heart tells me too."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He looked at her and said "My life is worthless unless those I care for are safe so if you were in danger or yuo ok yukio or haruka I would risk my life for you and I was tiny to but I had a purpose to fight a reason to never let those I love be hurt that drove me to grow more powerful"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I looked back at him and smiled.
"But, look what you've gone through, to get so powerful." I said.
"Running from people, having your arm shattered!" I exclaimed. I ran my hand up and down my arm.
"And that healing jutsu, the one that almost killed you, infront of...me." I said. I felt that I was the cause of the scary moment.
"And, and, and when you passed out from hitting that wall!" I exclaimed again. I felt tears brimming my eyes.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled he knew the price he had paid was a heavy one one very heavy indeed having to run always the feeling of death never coming his body had paid a heavy toll but he said "the purpose was good since I knew it was needed since I know my challenges will be great but I am glad since it led me to you"the price had been worth the pain he had made friends and alies and it saved him from death

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

The few brimming tears dripped down my cheeks and a small smile spread across my face.
"That healing jutsu could've killed you, and so could I have." I said.
"You got lucky Santomoro. If I hadn't felt that you were kind enough for me to spare when you first used that jutsu, you wouldn't be here now, or you'd at least be badly wounded." I said, a bit quieter.
"I had so many chances, to be great and recognized, but, when you were weak, I felt myself crumble." I said, finally much much quieter.
"I could've killed you while your wounds were open at the end of our battle, or done some sort of damage. Oh, but I couldn't bring myself to do so!"

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled and said "if you had killed me then atleast I know I did some good atleast that is somthing I began to fall for you that is why I bleed if you had killed me I would have deid happy" he smiled and wiped away her tears he took her hand"to die with the thought of help others is to know truth and life"
