After Training

She looked at him in utter shock, actually speachless.
"Ryuumaru...I-I dont know what to say, thats horrible..I'm so, SO sorry,"

"Now you know why This One hates Orochimaru so" he said as he looked at her, his heart clenching in pain.

"I completely understand..."
She nodded.
"And i'll do whatever i can to help you, whatever it takes,"

"Thank you. Now you understand why This One must make Orochimaru pay" he said.

She paused. She didnt like the idea of Ryuumaru putting his life on the line against one of the Sannin but she knew he needed to do it.
"Yes, i understand.."

"This One knows the Snake Sannin is strong but This One knows he isn't the strongest person there is in this world. This Ryuumaru knows there are people stronger then him and so that means This One can also become stronger then him" he said.

"..."
She was quiet for a moment before nodding and sighing.
"I'm going with you,"

"You are?" he asked her, turning to her with a shocked expression on his face.

She nodded again.
"There's no way i'm letting you go on your own. I'm going with you,"
She repeated.

"Are you sure Cherry Blossom?" he asked her.

"Completely sure. Nothing on earth could change my mind,"
She replied confidently.

"Alright then. This One will not stop you from following if you are determined" he said.

"If you get injured, so will i. If you fight, i'll fight with you. Thats the way its gonna be,"

"This One is glad for that. This Ryuumaru wouldn't be able to stand not seeing you Cherry Blossom. This One will always be with you Sakura-Chan, of that, you can be assured" he said with a smile.

"And the same for me. Without a doubt, whenever you need me i'll be here and thats where i'll stay until you tell me otherwise,"
She said, smiling back brightly.

"Thank you my beautiful Cherry Blossom" he said with a smile as he kissed her.

"You're welcome, Ryuumaru-Kun,"
She stepped forward slightly to meet him halfway as she gently kissed him back.

He pulled away a few moments later. "We're going to have to train incredibly hard in order for us to kill Orochimaru" he said.

"I'm tired of always watching and doing nothing. Training is just what i need. This time, i'll fight,"
She said, a sudden fire burning in her eyes.

"This One will help you with that" he said with a similar fire in his eyes.

"We'll both help each other. I'll teach you whatever medical ninjutsu i've aqquired over time, and you can teach me how to be more efficient in combat. With that combination, our victory will be a lot more stable,"

"Yes, This One agrees with you" he said as he grabbed her hand and walked her home.

She smiled and sighed when she reached the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Ryuumaru-Kun,"
She said to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek before opening the door and stepping inside.

"Yes. See you tomorrow Cherry Blossom" he said as he turned on his heel and walked away.
