[Nothing gets past her, of course. The question actually brings a smile to one side of his lips, slight but amused.
Would it undermine everything they'd done if he told her the truth? Would she be angry with his answer? It didn't matter. Whether he denied his displeasure or lied about it, he knows she'd see through it. He doesn't have much of a choice except to be straight with her.]
I'm glad you got the success that you wanted. Being a part of it really was something else.
But... [A pause, and he shakes his head.] even before we met, I lived only to fight. Knowing it's over, I don't quite know what to do with myself now.
I can't go back to gang fights after the battles you've given me here, Lady Satsuki.
And you will not. Who's to say the fighting is done? This world is far from perfect.
[She only opened her eyes then, speaking as if it were obvious fact. His commentary was more of a confirmation than it was a surprise, so was far from angry. She wouldn't bother to give him an idea of just how much she related to him.]
So long as two humans live on this earth, there will always be a battle. Therefore, as long as you are my sword, you will always have someone to fight.
[She wondered vaguely if she'd even be up to it. She was a force to be reckoned with, certainly, even now... but for now she was depending on her already standing reputation. Since that day, she had yet to fight anyone to be sure, but she was certain she was slower than usual.]
