The Lounge

"hmm, well im getting less bored, but i need to start training again. i've been too lax about it, us humans need to train hard,long, and often to keep up with rest of the world, which you might know if you remember your days as a human." he said, staring off into space and petting sakura's hair.

kyoichi came back to reality when sakura told him of her origins. "oh, i didn-sakura! whats wrong?" he said as he felt her sobs." oh....I'm sorry, i shouldn't have brought up the past and painful memories" he said softly, speaking each word from the heart, and he lifted her head up gently to wiped away her tears. "hey now, I'm truly sorry, i didn't know the past was a taboo. its ok, you don't have to cry, but if you want to, you can just let it all out, like i said back at the clock tower." he said, hugging her and patting her on the back.

kyoichi rubs her back and says softly "if anwsering doesnt cause you more pain, would you mind telling me who you miss?"

kyoichi hears her and thinks about his father, and his mother. tears begin to well up in his eyes and he squeezes sakura a little harder. beginning to sob he says "i-im s-so sorry sakura. i know what its like, to miss your parents, and im ashamed o...of my self for tearing this wound of yours open." as he spoke a small amount of tears began to run down his face, tears he had once believed gone forever.

kyoichi smiles back and his tears and some of his pain went away. he returned sakura's hug and thought about the future. "thank you, sakura, you really are a good person, you know that?"

kyoichi chuckles back as the rest of his pain drains away, even his rib had been numbed by sakura's kindness. he pokes her in the nose and said "how could i not be cheered up with such a cute smile hitting me full blast?"

kyoichi smiles more and says "please, there isnt a thing about you that isnt cute and you know it, lucky." he said, beginning to play with her blue hair.

"*sigh* your in cuteness denial, but thats okay. and i like your hair, i'd definatly notice it in a crowd of people. mines dirty blond and really spiky, see how it kinda leans to the right? i cant ge it to do anything else, i think it has something to do with my wind element and stored up magic power." he said, touching the tip of one of his spiky clusters of hair.

"wow, i didnt know that, interesting." he said while taking the pony tails out of her hair and letting it fall down like a curtain of sapphire's. "you look much better with your hair down, but thats just my opinion, i think all girls look better that way."

"yah thats true, when my hair gets wet it goes down and gets all in my face and what not." he said while taking sakura's brush and bushing her hair for her.

laughing, kyoichi tickles sakura. "not as annoying as this i bet!"

"ok" kyoichi said with a devilish grin and stopped tickleing her. he then started to play with her hair again.
