"Then better not let anyone know that, kid. She can be used as a way to get to you."

Ryo made a face. "But why would anyone do that? What's the point of getting to -me-?"

"You're the one who's going to be a great ninja some day, aren't you? Some times the easiest way to get to people is to attack where they're weakest, and that would be their relationships. You'll train yourself, hone your body and mind to perfection, but how do you protect other people? You can't be in two, three, four places at once... And if they aren't as strong as you? It's a perfect set up. 'Do as I say or the girl/the kids/your friend gets it.' It works well. Remember it. You may need to use it some day."

Ryo snickered. "Greatest? Hah~ I just want to be good enough to punch you and to be awesome!" He thought about that a moment. "Having other hurt because of you is worse than being hurt yourself?"

Suoh stopped playing long enough to punch Ryo in the arm, hard. "Hurting on the outside sucks; it hurts to move and it can make being still uncomfortable, but you can do something about it. You can take medicine, there are jutsus that heal, you can put ice on it... You can fix that. When someone you care about is hurt, and they're hurt because of you, that hurts on the inside and there's noting you can do for that. Knowing that you couldn't protect them, that it was your love that caused them to suffer, that's worse than any physical wound. You hurt so bad you can't eat, can't sleep, can't think of anything else but about how you failed them. It's... it's an emotional pain, but it can become physical. And you can't pop a pill to make it go away. It never goes away completely..."

"Hey ow! not fair!" Ryo sulked as he rubbed his arm where suoh punched him. "Well that's all fine. I'm sure everyone hurts like that at some point, but you still get over it." He shrugged indifferently.

"Some people do, others don't. Oki's hurting pretty badly like that right now, and I'm pretty sure she'll carry scars from it for a very, very, very long time."

Ryo looked sad for her. "I wish she didn't have to..."

"Makes two of us, kid. But that's part of being human, part of caring for other people. She got too close to the wrong person and got burned, and she hurt someone else in the process. But she'll sort it all out, one way or another. She may have lost them both, but the key will be to pick herself up and continue on."

"She will." Ryo grinned brightly. "I think Oki's really strong~"

Suoh smiled and resumed playing. "You have a lot of faith in her, kid. She showing oyu a different side of herself than the rest of us?"

"mmhmm~" Ryo closed his eyes, laying back in the grass and enjoying the melody Suoh was playing. "I dunno about sides. But she has faith in me so why shouldn't I have faith in her?"

"If that's how you want to work it," Suoh laughed.

"Sure, why not?" Ryo laughed lightly. 'And I love her,' he added to himself silently.

"Suit yourself, kid. You're weird, but maybe you'll be good for each other."
