“Very true, very true. However! For several reasons I will not be one. I do not have the true drive to excel in these arts, the motivation to become a star that lights up the heavens. Furthermore singers have certain responsibilities and restrictions that would just chafe away at me. Example! Could you smile for a whole day? A smile that would fool anyone into thinking it was genuine? No one wants to see a crying clown. Because that just. Isn’t. Funny. Flip the coin around, and what would you think of a heroic lauded warrior poet who wants to sing and laugh and dance because the source of his insecurities turned out to be that he likes boys rather than girls? The point miss, is that to me such a life would be too much of a cage. A gilded one, but still a cage. I like the freedom to express myself as I like. Furthermore-” Kichiro said, his hands clearly forcibly contained up his sleeves rather than waving about. A spade-sized armored hand descended on his shoulder before he could continue chattering.

“We were gonna give her space, remember.” Mahiro said. Kichiro nodded emphatically.

“Yes yes, of course. Apologies but I tend to get carried away. My dear mother did wish for me to enter show business but the only thing that stuck were the drama lessons. And the words. Dear god the eloquence lessons! I love her dearly but she made me read entire dictionaries at age 5.” Kichiro appeared ready to ramble on some more. Behind him Harumi lifted her hand and gently whacked him over the head. Then the quiet huntress nodded sharply towards the exit.

“Ah, yes, I shall be silent now.” Kichiro said.

Said silence lasted up until they were out of the cemetery gates.

“SO! That was oddly relieving. Well guys, I guess it is now time for us to say goodbye as well.” Kichiro stated.

“Yeah, my new team assembles in… five minutes from now.” Mahiro said as he checked the time. It took exactly one second for the penny to drop in his mind.

“SHITI'MRUNNINGLATESEEYA!” he said and practically vanished in a cloud of dust.

"Well I suppose my time has come as well. Harumi... Stay safe out there okay?" Kichiro said in an unusually sober tone.

"Same... Take care." Harumi replied and turned to leave.

"Meet up?" she said with a final glance over her shoulder.

"Alas, I canNOT say what the new schedule will look like yet. As soon as I do I shall leave a note at both of your residences." Kichiro said. With a quiet rustle, the extrovert boy was left alone. Slowly Kichiro started to saunter over to the training field he would meet his own new team.
