3 Heal Me.2

I was giving a tour of the whole dojo for Hayabusa when the Head of Keep burst into the main entrance.

"The Akakage has set foot into our city!", the head shouted.

All of us turned to him for reassurance. It can't be. The guards of the dojo quickly responded and got ready of their weapons and sacred instruments. My father, his hands at his back, slowly walked towards us.

"Kagura, you need to get out of this city", I hurriedly shaked my head.

Suddenly, Hayabusa stepped forward and bowed to my father.

"I will help in defending this city as an exchange for taking me in, Master Kazuki!", he shouted.

All were in awe in his bravery.

"I will lend my strength" And he glanced at me. My cheeks turned bright red. I turned to avoid his gaze and to somehow hide my embarrassment.

"Well then, you should also get ready" My father instructed him. "And as for you Kagura -- "

"I'm not leaving, father. I will stay. I will fight with you", I stood firm. Gaving my father no chances to doubt my courage.

I was getting ready with my Seimei Umbrella when someone knocked on my door.

"Kagura, can I talk to you?" Hayabusa's voice echoed throughout my room.

I don't want to hear it. That's the thought that's in my head. Maybe he's just going to convince me to pack my things up and leave, if that's the case I won't talk to him.

"It's important, Kagura. It's about my past and how I got beaten up in front of your dojo"

I did not waste any second and opened the door. I saw Hayabusa staring at his feet, looking hurt and troubled.

"It's me, Kagura. It's me Han. I've come back"
