A blush grew on Fukurou's face. "It seems unchivulrous to fight a woman," he said. "I suppose chivalry is something of days gone by, and the life of a ninja leaves little room for it, as so many other things..."

"There's a time and place for chivalry, Fukurou. Opening doors, holding a coat or pulling out a chair are all fine. But when you're fighting for your life, or someone else's, you can't afford to look at your adversary as a lady or anything else than what they are: Someone who will kill you if they have to in order to get to their mark. You can't hesitate, and you can't let your feelings get in the way. You'll be forced into situations you're not going to like, but you'll have to go through with your mission."

Fukurou smiled. "Very well, Ms. Oki. When I meet you here, I will treat you as an adversary. Off of the training grounds, I'll stick to holding doors open for you, or pulling out your chair," he said with a polite bow...

"Perfect," Oki replied, returning his bow. "Now you should probably eat something and rest. You're going to be tired until you can get your energy back up again. I want you to keep practicing raising and focusing your chakra; the more oyu do that, the more of it you'll have. It'll take time, but I know you can do it."

Fukurou smiled. "Hai," he agreed. "Ms. Oki..." He paused and looked away. "You are a very sweet woman... You... You deserve every happiness in life, that life can possibly give you..."

Oki blushed and looked away, flattered but slightly embarrassed. "Thank you, Fukurou, that's very sweet of you. I'd be satisfied with finding just a little of that happiness, and I hope that you find it, too. I know things have been... difficult for you lately, but I want you to know that you don't have to be alone in it. You have friends, and we'll help see you through until oyu find happiness again."

Fukurou smiled and straighted up. "It is polite of you to say such, Ms. Oki... But unfortuantly, you are wrong this time. I am alone in this chapter of my life. I do not actually have anyone to turn to at the moment, and must deal with matters on my own it seems. I am confident that things will work themselves out in the end. I just pray that too much pain does not come of them..."

"Ruu and Kitsi miss you. I've been doing my best for them, but I'm a poor substitute for you. I may also have been over feeding them a little, and by a little I might mean a lot..."

Fukurou's brows raised slightly. "Kitsi will like you more than me," he said with a laugh. "Ruu will work it off. I do miss them greatly as well. However, I trust them in your careful hands Ms. Oki. I just wish..." he shook his head. "Well... We'll see what the future holds..."

"I told you before, Fukurou, you're welcome to come see them any time. Ruu would be very excited to show you his new... training equipment. He's keeping very busy, but even he's starting to get pudgy. Kitsi's just kind of... expanded beyond reason."

Fukurou's brows narrowed. "Training equipment?" he asked. He knew he couldn't actually go to see them, Baoh wouldn't allow that...

Oki looked mildly embarrassed. "Well, it's more of a cat toy, really... It's this ball, only it's like a metal cage on the outside and it has a smaller plastic ball inside of it with a bell. It jingles when it rolls across the floor, which is why I think he likes it so much. It's also easier for him to pick up and carry than the frizbee was, and he can play with it in the apartment."

Fukurou smiled. "A toy... Ruu has... A toy?" he found great plessure in this fact, and he turned his head away, his smiling growing as far as his lips would allow it to spread. "Thank you... Oki," he said, for this first time leaving the 'Ms.' out of his lexicon and made to put his hand on her shoulder, but paused, right before he actually made contact, thinking about what he was doing...

"He has a couple," Oki said quickly. "That's just the one he seems to prefer. I'm trying to see if I can get Kitsi interested in any of them, but so far no luck. They've been sleeping in my room, with me. They both start out perching on the headboard, but Ruu seems to end up under the blankets with me quite a bit, and Kitsi really, really likes the pillows..."

Fukurou smiled. "They're not used to such luxuries," he said, actually placing his hand on Oki's shoulder. "I wish I could see them but... My training restricts me from such at the moment. Thank you. For being a friend to them..."
