She sneaks away with the rain.

Every time. Every time the waters start to fall from the sky, she silently gathers up her pack and disappears for a while.  If her friends have noticed a pattern, they don’t say anything. They trust her, trust the smiling face that wishes them well and promises to be back, and watch her step away in pursuit of what is only known by her heart.

Even the hanyou stops trying to make her stay.

She loves the rain; she loves its cleansing spirit. And she steps out into it in anticipation of everything new.
