(D8 LA) Wascally Wabbit

[Kitsu Murato]

"I am pleased to meet Sora," he said with a smile. "I hope that he brings you comfort and happiness when you can't find it elsewhere."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

He would note that her mood was improved. The rabbit ended its leaf and licked its cute little face. The girl placed the critter in the cage. "Stay there Sora san" She said in her normal voice. The Kaito looked at the Kitsu and gave him a hug. "Arigatou Kitsu sama."

[Kitsu Murato]

He returned the hug, enveloping her fully, "You are very welcome, Bai-chan. It love to see you smile. Just being with you makes me happy.". He squeezes a bit more.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Kitsu sama... I am sorry... I shouldn't have been so down." Bai nodded. "But I know how much you respect the ancestors and mine well... are martial artist of the unarm strikes."

[Kitsu Murato]

He continues to hold her close. "It's fine. I initially felt a bit sad about that. But it's different between us, where that comes from. For me it's a question of practicality, for you it's a family tradition. But just so you know, I'm always up for a rematch. And who knows... maybe one day your family tradition will be ours. I would like that if it turned out that way."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Ah.. hai" She let go of the embrace. "You were singing when I got here. What was that about?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"An... old song. From my days in the dojo. We sang it on our gempukku day while drinking shochu. It... feels the same here a bit, knowing that people will separate and go their own ways. I'll end up missing some of them... many of them," he explains.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Letters can keep people in touch." She nodded. "Sad neh we make all these friends and then... go our separate ways." The Kaito sighed.

[Kitsu Murato]

"Not all will," he replied with a smile. "Some will get to spend the rest of their lives together. Grow old and care for one another."

He reached out to touch her cheek, "Get to wake up next to someone they love each day."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The girl blushed and shy away. "Kitsu san... you... you... you are right." She nodded. "Let's hope the Shika can see that and grant many Benten's blessing."
