Ryo nodded. "Oki." He glanced away with a fond expression on his face.

"Yeah," Suoh said fondly. "I thought I'd lost her, a long time ago. I still can't believe I found her."

Ryo grinned. "I'm glad you were able to find her too! I'm sure Oki's really glad too."

Suoh nodded, beginning to absently pick at the guitar strings again. "I think... I think she needed it more. I grew up with a family, people who could answer my questions, but she didn't. I spent fifteen years thinking that she was dead, but she knew that there was a missing piece out there that she needed to find. She's kind hearted, but she's really got to work at pulling herself together now that she's tied up the loose ends if she wants to make anything of herself."

"Poor Oki..." Ryo tapped a fist against Suoh's shoulder. "I think Oki's already making something of herself. I think she's wonderful~"

Suoh rolled his eyes. "You like her because she buys you ice cream and reads to you. She's a great person, no argument there. But she could be a great ninja, too, if she ever gets herself figured out."

Ryo snickered at the ice cream comment. "Well that too~ But I think she's a pretty great ninja! She's teaching me a lot"

"She knows a lot int he technical sense. She's got some fundamentals to learn, though. She gets too caught up in things emotionally, and a ninja can't do that. It's not that she shouldn't care... that's just who she is. She needs to care less and to manage herself. You'll need to learn to do the same things some day, kid. Your missions and your team are the most important things in your life as a ninja; everything else, friends, family, lovers, all have to fall into place after that and you can't let them interfere with your work."

Ryo shrugged. "I don't think I'd have too much problem with that. I don't really have any of those." He grinned widely. "I'm gonna be an awesome ninja one day!"

"What about Oki?" Suoh asked slyly.

"Oki is..." Ryo had to think about that. "Teacher?" But she definitely more then that. "Okay, so maybe I have a few friends~" He smirked wryly.

"That's something you can never afford to underestimate, kid. Always be aware of what people mean to you; hide it if you have to, pretend that they mean less, but always be aware of how much they mean to you. It can be used against you if you're not careful." Suoh seemed tired as he said this, drawn.

Ryo chewed his lip thoughtfully. "So how do you figure out what someone means to you...?"

"Good question, kid, it's a tough one. But it all comes down to what you'd be willing to do for them, or what it would do to you to lose them. Take Oki for example. I'm trying very hard to behave myself for her, so that I don't make her life any more difficult. And I will do everything humanly possible to keep her away from people like Sudah, or anyone else who might cause her harm. She's mine, and I don't want to see anything happen to her."

Ryo thought about that for a moment. "I'd do anything for Oki... I'm trying really really hard to make her proud. And I think I'd want to try my best to never see her hurt or upset..."
