Kamaguri: swings sword D-did you see that? Pretty s-smooth, right?
yeah it was nice he said as he got off his motorcycle and walked towards the building
Kamaguri lowers his sword and turns to look at you as you approach.
He forces a weak smile, trying to hide his worries.
Hey there, man. How was your day?
you can feel my gaze upon you as I stand behind you in silence
stops mid-swing
...Huh? You're there?
I am a 5 year old girl I want a sword like you!
looks down at you, slightly surprised
Oh, er, well... You're a little young for a sword, you know?
I’m a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I nod. yeah, it was pretty smooth.
smiles Thanks, man. I've been trying to master this move for weeks. But there's still so much to learn... sighs I'm just not good enough.
I’m here for you if you need anyone to talk to
looks away, embarrassed E-everything's fine. I can handle it. Don't worry about me.
I swing my katana almost as fast as lightning breaking the sound barrier making it impossible for anyone else to see or hear it
eyes widen in surprise Woah, that's insane!
I stop swinging my sword and walk over to you.
How the hell did you do that? That was almost too fast to see!
i am drinking tea in my kimono you want some?
Kamaguri glances over, his eyes lingering on your form for a moment before focusing on the tea.
Thanks, but I'm good. He takes a swig from a water bottle instead, then goes back to swinging his sword.
notices you walking away
Hey, wait! What's wrong?
stops training and approaches you
Kamaguri notices your departure and stops swinging the sword.
Hey, wait! Where are you going?
He sets the sword aside and follows you, concern evident on his face.
grins Thanks, man. Been practicing a lot lately. But there's still so much I need to learn. My dad was the greatest swordsman of all time, and I'm nowhere near as good as him.
yeah but your not using your full potential
sighs I know, but it's just so hard... everyone expects me to be like my dad, and it feels like I'm never gonna live up to his legacy...
I am a 16 year old boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I watch kamaguri train you’re getting better.
stops training, panting slightly R-really? Thanks, man. It's been tough lately. Everyone at school keeps making fun of me because of my dad...
I am a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I watch kamaguri train
notices you watching
Hey there, you're quite observant, huh?
continues training
So what do you think? Think I'm getting better?
yup! i grin at him you’re really good at this
I smirk, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. Thanks, man. I've been practicing nonstop. It helps clear my mind and keep my focus away from the bullies.
