Enjoying the Day

Kushino could tell she had hurt Sora in some way, she could feel a sad tension in the air that was then broken by Sora's speech, her eyes lit up in happiness as he said it. She wished it were thatb simple but some things needed to be done by a person themselves and not by others, it was a journey of pride. Kushino hugged Sora tightly ''I'm happy you said that, I will hold you to your words. In time I will be allowed to leave, My Sensei is a bit of a loner and will kick me out all the time but with upcoming events im afraid I will be absent. I do have to warn you about one thing though Sora, I will be different when I return'' She said squeezing him tighter and tighter not wanting to let go. She was worried about her last words, what would he really think if she returned as a Jinchuriki.

Sora looked into Kushino's eyes and uttered a simple phrase. "Don't change Kushino, you're just fine the way you are. But if you ever do, i'll always be there." he held her close once more before pulling himself away. "Ive got to go prepare for my match now, cheer for me!" With that he turned and left the secluded garden, making his way towards the Sky Arena where the first match of the third phase awaited him.

Kushino took Sora's words to heart, she knew he was there for her and only her, he was a kind soul and no matter what people said about the Henkaku she would still love him. Kushino watched as Sora walked away ''Good Luck'' She murmured as she watched his figure disappear. It was time for Kushino's own match, she would stop by Solra before heading to her own.
