-=Tai had just entered the Sound vilage. No welcoming party. He wasn't expecting one. Father was probably out doing a mission. Or dead. He hadn't heard from the family since he left. Mother... If father was dead... Would probably be in the same condition. Tai had noticed a certain level of dependancy when it came to his mother. She always desperately wanted him to quit being a shinobi, getting a normal job. Father said no. Not an option. He would rather die in combat then die old... And so would Tai. At times, he would curse his mother. Wondering how he could have been born from such weakness. How could Father pick such a woman to birth his child. But those feelings just came and went, so they were never 100% solid. He cleared his throat, looking around to see if there was anything new in the village while he was gone. So far, nothing really. He figured he should head home. Let his family know that he was perfectly fine. In one piece. He turned the corner, still nothing new. This place was as deserted as ever. The wind tossed his hair, making both his eyes visable. His headband was twisted to the left side, allowing that sound symbol to show. The tieing knot was behind the right ear. When the wind settled, his white hair fell over his right eye, covering about half of his headband as well. Turning another corner, he was nearly home.=-
