Everyone has a past….
He stumbled back, trying to escape the person he loved. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. When someone loved you, they were supposed to care for you. Yet, in that moment, the person who was supposed to care for him was trying to hurt him.
“Come on, Ryu. You’re leaving.”
With that, his brother grasped his arm, yanking him to his feet to take him away.
Everyone has a secret….
"Why won't you tell me?"
"Because it doesn't matter," Ryu replied calmly, though at the moment he wanted to snap at her.
The Komichi cocked her head to the side, staring at the boy. "It's just a simple ring. What could be so secretive about it?"
Ryu almost laughed. Nobody knew just how many secrets it held, or what it was his ring hid.
How long can you run from them....
Ryu's eyes slid to Ino, sitting perfectly still, her eyes flickering between him and Raido, her pale jade eyes confused. He couldn't blame her. All she could do was pick up small pieces of what they were talking about. Nobody would understand what Raido meant when he asked Ryu if he wanted to know who it really was.
His eyes dropped, fear making him not want to speak. How could he tell Ino his secret? He'd been running from it, from what was inside him, for years now. He had seen how Sakura reacted. Would she fear him just the same?
Before it starts to catch up?....
"Ryu!" Chouji exclaimed, trying to catch him as he flew back.
A scream pierced through Ryu's lips as he slammed into the tree. Before he even had the chance to slide down, the robed man was before him, holding him up by his throat. He struggled, but it was in vain, the man's grip unrelenting. "Let me go!"
The man laughed. He tilted his head back, the hat no longer hiding his face. "Hello, Ryu."
"You," Ryu whispered, freezing. No. This couldn't be happening. It couldn't be true. It had been four years, and there was no way that he could find out where he was. Yet he was staring into the killer's eyes.

Chapter notes: Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I always check someone's profile before/after I read their stories. I don't know why - I just do. But seeing as I'm not sure how many do, I'm moving this from my profile to here. The first one of these I saw was by cvhoneybee, who isn't on anymore (that I know of), even if she was a great author. And then Silverwolf1213 did some, so I finally started doing them, too. I plan on doing one for my other main stories, which include Never Too Late, Final Wish, and Will of the Dragon.
Anyway, this will later to be moved to the first chapter. Since I didn't want you guys confused, I kept it here as the last chapter. Though it would be kinda funny.....
Okay, so for when this is moved to the first chapter or even now, here's a note to all my new readers, whether they be new to Tonfa or are just starting to read this. It will be deleted later if this site picks back up. As it is, this site is really declining, if not dying. It's sad to watch as people just drift off and a few old and new users keep it alive. Then again, I've been here for five years and have seen this site with a lot of activity before to the point there was more than one Most Recent page one had to look for. And it is nice seeing people come and enjoy Tonfa, to write stories of world they love and read the great stories on here. It may be a slow start as you begin on here with it declining like it has, but just stick in there and do what you love, okay?
Sorry, I just needed to get that out of my system. As is I could do an entire rant if I felt like it. Just been thinking a lot since it's started declining. Now on to the actual preview for those of you who actually read this little piece of my mind.
Chapter end notes: So, did you guys enjoy it? Does it have you eager for the story?
