"That is less than ideal, Sonyo. I've helped you with him before. I can..." The Emperor paused as his eyes met hers, his expression pained as she paused. ..."I can speak with him, and bastion your seals once again. I know it makes him insufferable, but, I would have you safe, and I would keep you with me. I would deign to never lose you again. We've only..."
His crimson sharingan swirled and his features softened as a hand pressed itself to the woman's cheek, the tomoe faded into non-existence as the eyes took their natural, mottled, verdant green colouration, punctuated with an amber ring in both eyes. A constant reminder of the nature chakra that stained the man. Most of the world never saw Masahiro's 'natural' eyes, the form they took after senjutsu had forced a conjoining of his implants to his natural state. The right eye still hadn't taken as far as the eye he had from his adopted daughter, and a cinnamon hue remained within it. As she let go and moved away, he would follow after. As she rested, he turned into the bench and wrapped his right arm around her waist, his firm grasp brought her close to his shoulder.
Her natural chill filled his lungs as he took a deep breath in, his face buried on the top of her head.
"I have an old research facility, in the ruins of Old Konoha, it hasn't sunken beneath the waters. We can work on your seal there, under the protection of a series array. I can construct it while we travel. I had to do something similar for Ivalice once. The Kyuubi was a rough beast to rehouse, twice over." He whispered into the top of her head, his left hand, now empty, rest upon his knee with a nervous twitch in his ring finger.
"You've been there, countless times for others. You built OASIS and gave me solace, you built a network for the aid of others. Let me do this for you." He asked of her.
( i ) i can see the look in your eyestab ( ii ) don't give me that look cause you seetab ( iii ) you're the last person I need to pity me tab ( iv ) crying wont pave a path to forgiveness, every sin is everlastingtab ( v ) I'm lost in this maze of emotion, who am I waiting for?
Sonyo was quiet for a moment, equal measures being happy to be close to Masahiro and thinking about the possible outcomes. She pressed closely in to him, her worry almost palpable in the air. There was no one else she knew that was so knowledgable in seals, and old konoha seemed the best bet that she had in not hurting anyone should Shukaku escape. Sonyo rested her head back on the elder male's shoulder, closing her eyes to breathe him in. Even in this chaos and psin, he brought her peace... could she truly chance ruining that?
His plea reached her, however. Gripping at his clothes lightly, she let out a soft sigh. "Okay. We'll leave later tonight, however. I need a bath and a moment to gather myself... in case..." She trailed off, a soft frown forming on her features. The jinchuriki wanted to stay here, in the emperor's embrace, but even now she felt the seal cracking further. Reluctantly pulling away from Masahiro, she stood and turned to face him, forcing a smile for his sake. "I'll see you in a few hours." The empress leaned down, gathering the Hatake's face in her hands to press her lips against his forehead for just a moment.
With that, she turned and left, heading towards their room in the castle. Once there, she waved off the plethora of worried handmaidens and closed the door. Thankful for a moment of silence, Sonyo leaned back against the door and covered her eyes with one hand as voices chattered in her head, taunting her.

"Tonight, then. I'll get the seals ready and have affairs set in place." The Hatake said as the Empress made her way to leave.
He remained seated for a time, his eyes focused to the world forward before he withdrew the materials to begin working on a new scroll. Alone in the Palatial Gardens, he found it easiest to work on this project, layer after layer of intermittent seal and treatment. Layer, roll, thread the edges, wash, repeat two layers, and place a summary enchantment. The Emperor focused on creating an empowered scroll, the most powerful he could. The soft breeze in the gardens and the scents of the blooms caught his attention only as the sun ignited once more. He finished the final layer of the Legendary Scroll and broke away from the project. [ Legendary Scroll Creation ]
He needed to come up with both an initial plan to help re-settle the beast, as well as a contingency in case there was a crack. If Shukaku repeated the past events that Kyuubi had perpetrated upon Konoha, where he had broken loose from a host, been potted, and was intentionally broken free by the UHV forces to wreak havoc upon an already inured people. The Emperor sighed and stared at the scroll before him, he thought of the seal upon his wife's body, the one he had full intention to repair and empower, but if the Tanuki, as loud-mouthed and shrill as ever, had begun to break through that bond, then another would need be readied.
Masahiro went to work, upon the scroll he prepared the foundation of the Seal of Adaption, a multi-layered seal meant to bind the demons to a person. If Shukaku broke free, he could re-bind him under a different auspice. A new seal he was not accustomed to, and one that could holster him for a time longer. This was the last resort, a worst-case scenario, one that ended in the death of the Kyuubi's host those decades ago. The seals in play now, they were gentler and designed to give the host a fighting chance but the elder Hatake did not want to test the hypothetical chance of survival with his wife's life on the line if Shukaku did manage to break free. [ Seal of Adaption ]
"I thought I had long since put these days behind me, but... This is the kind of world that never really leaves you alone. Not when you travel west. Not when you assume a throne. Nor when you die, it seems." He pondered to himself.

"Growing pains? What are you- WAH!" Himawari yelped in surprise as she saw herself in the mirror. She blinked once. Then twice. Then ran up to the mirror so fast that she left the trail of dust behind as she started to pull her face. "OH wow! Sango! Check out this magical mirror! It shows what you look like when you get a little older!" Then it set in. She glanced at herself. Checked out the kimono she was wearing and blinked a few times. She even placed her hands on her chest and squish as she winced, it was rather sore. "I've heard about this! Very rare! Sango! I fell into the time portal! YAY! I'm not a kid anymore!" Excited, she ignored the aching joints and the 'skin' change and growth as she practically skipped towards the garden, "So we have 14 white peacocks and 8 blue/green ones! One of the white one is really mean! He's Masahiro's favorite. Dad is the only one he's nice to! Oh yea, about the time portal, apparently something happened long ago so now the portals randomly show up, they can age or make a person younger! I've been wishing every birthday that I'll fall into one so people can take me seriously instead of a kid!" then she let in a sharp inhale as she was rambling the whole thing out, "Here we are!" She took Sango to a magnificent and beautiful garden, full of peacocks, there was a tall thing that looked like a stump but Hima opened it, "It's to make it look nice! It's where we put the peacocks food, it's hard and sturdy so they can't break in but it's easy for someone like me to open! Wow. My chest really hurts. Did you have to go through with this Sango? Oh wow! I am so sorry! All this adventure today and we didn't even talk about each other a little bit! Okay, I'll go first, I'm Himawari Yuki, my mother and her best friend sent me and Theodred here Momma and Uncle Theo might be dead but I don't think so! I think they are waiting till they are safe! You would love momma! She's really pretty, dark skin, blue eyes and big hair! Oh and Shukenja! You would love him too! He's a lion and snow leopard mix! Imagine that but really sweet and gentle! BUT Theodred, that dumb butthead," She angrily flung the food at the peacocks as they were pecking at the ground, "Decided to run away! I swore momma I would protect him but I was incapable of doing so that time! So I decided I was going to get trained enough, strong enough, and bring him back here, dragging, kicking, and screaming! Now looks like I"m close to doing that and I am sooooooooooo excited! You'll help me, won't you? You don't have to! I shouldn't spring this on you, we just met! But I feel like we are soul friends!" She said with a cheery smile as she gave the peacocks more food, in more of a gentle manner.

The two made it back to the castle, with Himawari whining about her aching chest the entire way. Sango was still confused about the strange portal her friend had gone through, and why it accelerated her aging. Would it continue? Or was it a one time thing? She could only imagine what would happen if she had to run around with an elderly Himawari, still possessing the mentality of her original child-like state. Himawari herself was even surprised by her new image, running up to the first mirror she found at breakneck speeds, examining herself. Sango held in a chuckle at Hima's mention of the magic mirror, but thankfully she realized what had actually happened - knowing more than Sango could ever anticipate. "W-what? Time portals...?" She questioned her friend, completely baffled by the idea. This was the first time since being in this city that she had even heard of them. While she would have liked to know more about these 'magic portals', Himawari's attention was caught by something else: peacocks.
Sango followed her to the garden, examining all of the pretty peacocks, "Wow... this is beautiful, Hima!" It was more than what she expected of a garden inside of a royal castle. The Emperor and those who tended to the garden took great care to ensure it remained as elegant as the structure which surrounded it. Himawari mentioned her aching chest again, wondering if Sango experienced anything similar. "Er, yea. It's something all of us girls have to go through as we grow up. That's why they are called growing pains." Sango replied confidently, hoping to ease Himawari's worries about them. So much had changed physically with her friend that she found it difficult to believe that Himawari was the same person, if it wasn't for her bubbly and child-like personality. She certainly has grown... Especially in the chest department. Sango had to refrain from looking down, which may have only made her slight envy more evident if Himawari was even perceptive enough to notice.
Which was unlikely, as she continued on with an introduction of herself and a story of her family life. Sango did agree with Hima that the two were not able to sit and talk like most friends do. So much had happened since the first time they met, with the sudden blackout of the moon, their medical duties with Hikari, and finally the brief encounter with two strangers (that could have totally gone south, but thankfully luck was on their side today) back at the tavern. Himawari explained how she was brought here by her mother with other family members, currently unsure of their status. Sango nodded and smiled brightly as Himawari described each of her family members with so much love and happiness that it would melt even the coldest of hearts. There was no doubt that this young ward truly loved her family with all of her being. She even offered Sango the chance to help her track down one of her family members to reunite with them, and going as far to call Sango her soul friend. Soul friend...? Her gaze trailed off to the peacocks eating the food that Himawari so cheerfully handed to them, a smile ever present on her face as her focus returned to Himawari. "If you feel so strongly about this, then I have no choice but to help you, Hima! That's what soul friends do." This friendship that was budding between them, reminded her much of the relationship she has with Sato, also known as 'The Street Rat'. She hadn't seen him in so long. I do hope he's okay...
"I guess it's my turn to introduce myself. The name's Sango Osada. As you already know, before I came to this interesting city, I was traveling with a group of performers. We'd go from place to place, putting on shows for any and all who wanted to watch - for a bit of coin, of course. All of my family members are talented in a variety of performance arts, including myself." Vaulting backwards from her standing position into an acrobatic flip, Sango gained some space between her and the area where Himawari was feeding the peacocks, sporting a mischievous glint in her eye. "I have a nickname: Knives. Would you like to see one of the cool tricks I can do?" Sango chuckled, a small knife slipping into her hand from seemingly out of nowhere, before twirling it around her fingers in a flashy display and disappearing from sight.

The Emperor rolled the scroll tight as he finished work on the legendary seals and scrollwork, his eyes befallen on his young ward. Green and Gold eyes flared into Crimson as his Sharingan reactivated at hearing the woman state who she was. Himawari. She recounted the tale of his adoptive daughter, his ward, without flaw, and then mentioned one of the time schisms that had occurred throughout the regions. As his eyes came into focus, he took note of her chakra, the same warmth and pattern, the materialization hidden for now. It was her, and the young performer the Knight and Adjutant had reported her to be traveling with. His eyed trailed them a few moments, but he said nothing from his back corner of the garden, and instead, he would simply listen.
Unravelling another bolt of cloth the Emperor smiled as his eyes followed the children while he began work on a pair of cloaks, dressed from dark blue fabric and accented with pressed and prepared feathers from the peacocks in the garden. While the white birds had long been his favorite, young Hima had always taken to the more colourful birds, and it was something the man could not fault her for, it matched with her personality. He smiled at the joking demeanor of the children, and thought of where he had been at their age, what atrocities he had already been privy to. Such was war, such was the life of a shinobi. A pin-pick drew the Hatake's attention as he drew the final stitch to a close. [ Armorsmithing Legendary - Peacock Cloak: 2 Endurance, Fuuton Element, Will Place Abilities for Later Approval ]
As he worked on one, however, he set to work immediately on a second. This set more in the more demanding green tones. Closer to those natural hues of the Emperor himself, when he wasn't obscuring his eyes behind the Sharingan. Withdrawing more of the peacock feathers, he would work in private across the gardens from the children until he had laced out a second cloak. This one draped in the same feathers, but the ones with more blue towards the ends, to contrast the green base of the fabric. They were paltry gifts, Masahiro thought, powerful to some, but scant minutes of his time, for a child he spent far too little time with. [ Armorsmithing Legendary - Peacock Cloak: +2 Endurance, Fuuton Element, Will Place Abilities for Later Approval ]
"Himawari, Sango, since you've taken it upon yourselves to avail me with your presence, in my sole hour of privacy... I come bearing gifts. Something to keep my hands busy while I fret to think of what goes on in the world outside, awaiting word from Hokage Lahlil and Knight-Captain Armistead." The Emperor jested as he proferred the two Legendary Cloaks out to the children, for them to choose which they would take for themselves.
"Yep! Time Portals! Verrrrry rare but can happen! Yea! We been taking good care of this garden myself included! Dad thinks it's a chore for me but really I love doing it! I sometime takes the flowers and give it to the staff on the grounds! Masahiro, Sonyo, Lillian, Wulfram... I shouldn't name all the servants we would be here for hours! The only person that doesn't get flowers is Lin-Yu, he's too mean. I'm afraid that one look at the flower, it'll wilt and die." Himawari shuddered to think of it. As Sango explained the growing pains, you could see the relief wash on her face, "OH thank goodness! I'm so glad that's normal, I'll stop complaining about it then! I was sort of scare to have a heart attack ha! Silly me!"
Once Sango had mentioned that she'll help her find Theodred, Hima threw her arms around her and pulled her into a hug and jumped up and down in excitement. "Awesome! If he wasn't such a grumpy little butt, you'll like him! But he's a grumpy butt." As Sango started to explain her life a bit more, even though Hima was all over the place she actually made sure she was listening and being a good friend! Sadly, time will tell if she remembers what they talk about. Oooh! So she was really a travelling circus! But what about her family? Maybe the circus was her family! "That's so cool but..." Her voice dropped, a bit sad, "Does that mean you are only here for a little bit?" Then she perked right on up, "If yes, that's okay! I'll cherish every moment we spend together! Knives huh? Why are you cal- YES PLEASE! LET ME SEE A TRICK!" She clasped her hands together in excitement as she watched eagerly, not noticing that one of the peacocks was pecking at her kimono for more food. Then the knives slipped into her hand as Hima was perplexed. WHERE DID IT COME FROM!?
Hima looked around the air and was even searching for seals, Masahiro was one heck of a sealer so she learned a bit here and there. WHERE ARE THE SEALS!? Then the knife disappeared. "OOOHH THAT IS SOOOO COOOL! HOW DID YOU-" Himawari froze, her body became stiff as a board as she stood up straight, litle color drained from her face. "There's someone behind me, is there?" She whispered towards Sango as she slowly turned and her body completely melted and relaxed when she saw it was Masahiro. "HI! I thought you were Lin-Meanie!" She yelped as she gave him a hug. "Sango, remember I mentioned the man that's like my dad? It's him! I know when mom gets back, he and her won't get together, he's marry to this reaaaallllly beautiful lady! Momma beautiful too but Sonyo is too! Anyways, I know not everyone works out but everyone is my family! Sonyo is like a mom too I guess! I don't know her enough but I will try! If she's okay with it of course! Masahiro told me she been through alllloooootttt so I just leave flowers in her room when she leaves!"[ Then she looked at Masahiro, "Look look! I'm grown! Closer to becoming a guard and go out to find Theodred, Mumma, and Uncle Theo!" She said with such excitement. It was as if the garden itself didn't need sunshine as long she was visiting it regularly.
"GIFTS!?" Himawari shouted, not too loud but to make sure everyone in that garden knows she was excited. One of the peacocks even squawked at her in protest. Her eyes sparkled at the beautiful cloaks. "THEY ARE SO PPPREEETTYYYY." Then she pouted, "Stop fretting about the world! Everything will work out! They alllways do! One way or another!" Then she glued her eyes back to the cloak. She wanted the blue! BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE! To match the eyes of hers! Her foot was towards the blue as her eyes kept darting at the blue, but even this ditz has manners, "Sango! You pick first, as our guest!" She said with a smile as she looked like she was sort of leaning towards the blue for herself.

"Well... I actually plan on staying here, if I'm able. Gurinbare-to is a really nice place." Sango chuckled, absentmindedly rubbing the back of her head. She felt safe here; comfortable, even. There were luxuries of being able to settle in a place that she had yet to experience, and thinking of having to leave Himawari only left a sick feeling in her gut. Her family even sounded interesting, and Sango was looking forward to meeting this Sonyo person someday. That feeling would soon be replaced with one of shock and awe, as a red-eyed figure clad in white made his presence known. The Emperor, who was also the acting father-figure in Himawari's life, approached with garments in hand. "O-oh! We didn't mean to disturb, Himawari was just showing me the peacocks. The garden really is beautiful..." She turned away from the two momentarily to take in the scene of the peacocks gathered in the garden, then returning her focus to the cloaks in Masahiro's hands. "For us? ...Wow." Sango was beyond impressed with the handiwork, "They're amazing!"
She was also curious about the Emperor's worries, but decided not to press on the matter. Sango nodded in response to Himawari's positive outlook on the situation otherwise. Many events had transpired in the short time she has gotten to know Himawari, and she too, to some degree, was anxious about what was to come and how that may change them - for better or for worse. The young ward insisted that Sango pick between the two cloaks the emperor's hands, taking note of Himawari's fondness for one in particular. Smiling, Sango reached for the other, carefully donning the item and examining herself. "It's beautiful, I love it!" Twirling on the tip of her toes on her dominant leg, the cloak followed suit as she modeled the piece of clothing with a dazzling display. "Thank you, Emperor Masahiro." Returning to her traditional stance on both feet, she bowed humbly before him.

Masahiro smiled as the children took their gifts with a glee he had not seen in recent days. His eyes followed the pair as they took to them and fastened them around themselves, to see how they fit, how they moved. It warmed his heart to see just how well his work framed them, and how appreciative they really were. The peaccocks too had to get in on the delight, with one of the males standing and brandishing his plumage, his body ruffled as he shook to and fro. This display caused the Emperor to have a slight chuckle.
"Seems I've made a good fit for the pair of you, then. And you're more than welcome." He said as he looked Sango over once more.
"You said you were considering remaining in Gurinbare-to? Please, do. We have ample housing available and I would hate to think of how Himawari would feel if her only friend in the wide world decided to move away to follow a circus act." The Emperor jested lightly at his ward's behalf, sticking his tongue out at Hima as he did so.
"In truth, your skills could be useful to the City, and Hima could use a positive influence, other than Lin-Yu." He said with a firm tone. "Though that means you may have to deal with the old man as well."

Sonyo's feet dragged the ground as she entered the garden again, her eyes slightky red and puffy from crying. She was exhausted, but she still had far more to do. She found Masahiro in no time, even in the expansive garden, and stood some distance away. Hands clasped in front of her, she watched quietly as Masahiro spoke to his ward.

Hima's eyes widen with happiness, sunshine, daisy, and sparkles as Sango confirmed that she was going to stay. With a squeal, her arms went around Sango as she pulled her into a tight hug. She pulled away and became frozen as a board thinking Masahiro was someone else. Once relief hit her and she said her words, she can't help but let out a soft raspberry sounds, "Don't worry about him! If we were really actually bothering him, we would know!" She said with a smile. Once Sango reached for the green, Hima let out a squeal as she nabbed the blue and put it on. With laughter, she swirled around few times as she hopped up and down few more times. "Green is perfect for you Sango! I know purple is your favorite color but green gooooesss sooooo well with purple! I promise! It looks great on you!" Hima said with a smile as she hugged Masahiro as in thanks for making the robe. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"
The peacocks, especially the alpha male which was a white one revealed his feathers as they all displayed as his body shook. Hima giggled softly as seeing it. Hima heard that they were going to put Sango in housing as she pouted slightly. She wanted her to stay in the castle but Hima supposed she could understand. One thing for sure, she was going over to Sango's place for sleepovers! Away from the servants and guards! And more important, Lin-Yu! Perfect! "Yea! If you get your own place, you can be independent and enjoy the quiet! And I can come over to enjoy the quiet too!" Hima said with a smile, not wanting to tell Sango what her plan was in case Masahiro has to be firm with her.
Hima heard about being a positive influence as she pouted, what did he mean? Was Hima such a bad girl? Was he disappointed with her? She pouted then her jaw fell and opened agape at the horror of him thinking Lin-Yu was a positive influence!? "Lin-Yu is still awful." Himawari said crossly, her arms matching the tone of her voice as she squawked in horror that Sango would also have to deal with Lin-Yu. "But why!? She's grown! She don't need no meanie teacher! Neither do I!" Hima was going to argue more with Masahiro about loosen up the restrictions he has on her especially Lin-Yu has on her but the peacocks were moving around a bit oddly. Her hues glanced over and she saw Sonyo. "OH LOOK LOOK!" Hima shouted towards Sango, completely forgetting about how upset she was with lack of independence. "That's the pretty lady I was talking about!" With that, she dashed to the flowers and see which ones were ready to prune. Getting a dagger out from her hidden sheath as she cut the yellow rose dleeicatly and ran up to Sango. "HI! HERE! A flower for- Oh." She stopped, her voice suddenly went from loud and boisterous to safe and calm, realizing perhaps too late that Sonyo looked like she had been crying. "It's okay! Whatever it is, it'll be okay! ... Is it okay I give you a hug?" She questioned, wanting just to squeeze this woman before her but she didn't know her quite well enough yet.

Sango was delighted to have the emperor's approval of residing in Gurinbare-to, which also meant she'd be able to spend more time with Himawari, and by extension, Lin-yu, much to Hima's displeasure. Being a 'positive influence' to Himawari was debatable, for Sango is as chaotic-neutral as anyone can get. "I won't let you down! But y'know, Hima is right. It's not my place to ask of anything in regards to how much freedom you give her, but there is a lot that she can learn being responsible for her own choices. Personally speaking." Sango and Himawari's lives were very different. The former, being unpredictable and sometimes dangerous, forced Sango to forfeit most of her childhood in order to meet the demands of her profession and whatever else was thrown her way. Only through the time spent with Himawari was she able to reclaim some of these moments, but she sympathized with her best friend's desire for more freedom, and wanted to help her achieve that in any way she could without stepping on toes.
Another woman approached, Himawari being the first to spot her. Even from far away, Sango was amazed with how beautiful Sonyo was. Following Hima, she'd stop a few feet away to give the two of them space, as her friend tried to console Sonyo who appeared to be emotionally distressed. She'd greet the woman silently with a wave, turning to the emperor briefly, then back to Himawari and Sonyo. Sango didn't know the woman well enough to try and help with whatever was going on, but was glad that she came to a place where loved ones could support her in her time of need.

"Oh, has little Himawari fooled you with how 'restricted' her life is? In terms of nobility, she is quite free and able to make her own decisions openly. But she is only a young woman, and ward of an Emperor, so her education and protection are sought to by my guards and the Lord Adjutant." Masahiro smiled and palmed the top of Himawari's head as he walked past her, his eyes cast up to Sonyo as she entered the courtyard in all of her grace.
He could see her discomfort and the shifts in her seal, but he tried to keep his composure for the children.
"Lin-Yu has been responsible for her education and her etiquette lessons, her ethics, and her composure. Because while I have given her freedom and free will, there is decorum in court that she is expected to grow into. The world is waiting in the wings for her young soul to fly free." He intoned as he ruffled her hair and motioned for Lin-Yu, who entered the courtyard from the furthest corner.
"Lord Adjutant. I must take some time to handle matter of great import with Lady Sonyo. If we do not return soon, see vault 36. You will be enacted as Regent until her tenure." Masahiro turned his eyes back to his ward, then to Sonyo as he crossed the threshold to her side.
"Love, are you feeling quite well?" Masahiro asked of the Empress as he placed his hand to her shoulder, eyes seeking the seal that held the Tanuki in place.

Hikari would make her way through the castle until finally meeting up with the group within the garden. Strolling up next to Lin-Yu, she would look on to see Masahiro helping Sonyo along. "It would seem I've just missed him again. I've finished the work you have assigned me, with a few bumps along the way but nothing I couldn't handle." Hikari turned her head towards the man, and looked up at him. "Unless you have more work for me, perhaps it wouldn't be too much to ask if I could wait for Lord Hatake?" Keeping a mostly stoic look on her face, Hikari waited expectantly for the man's answer.
( i ) i can see the look in your eyestab ( ii ) don't give me that look cause you seetab ( iii ) you're the last person I need to pity me tab ( iv ) crying wont pave a path to forgiveness, every sin is everlastingtab ( v ) I'm lost in this maze of emotion, who am I waiting for?
Sonyo had been in a daze, watching Masahiro, daydreaming. In her delerium and exhaustion, she was thinking thoughts she hadn't dared to think in a very long time. Not since she was very young. A squeal brought her bavk to reality however, causing the jinchuriki to jump and look towards the source of the high pitched noise.... which was Himawari. Another chip at the seal, another barely supressed wince. To say that her feelings about her husband's ward were complicated would be an understatement. Himawari was the only surviving member of her family, and now technically her adopted daughter.
The though terrified her. She had failed so many other children already.
Himawari rushed over to her, overflowing with energy and happiness. The intensity of it made her want to shrink away, to hide, but she didn't. Himawari changed to a more calmed state once she saw how haggard the emperess was, and Sonyo tried to swallow the panic rising in her throat. They couldn't see her like this, no one could see her break. So the woman straightened up, squared her shoulders, and forced a pleasant smile to her face. Much in the way she knew Kagerou did. Taking one of the flowers from the young woman, Sonyo tucked it in to Himawari's hair before setting her hand gently on top of her head.
"I'm afraid not right now, little one. But thank you for asking." Sonyo's darkened hazel brown eyes trailed to Sango. "I'm sorry, I'm not painting the best picture right now but I can promise you I'm not always like this. Sango, right? Welcome to GurinbarΔ-to. It's good to see my cousin's daughter making friends." As she finished speaking, Masahiro laid his hand on her shoulder. She instictively pressed a little weight against it, grounding herself. The emperess looked up at the Hatake, removing her hand from Himawari's head to covet his.
"I'm... steady for now. Let's hurry, however." The seal was in tatters, holding on by Sonyo's sheer will alone. Belamos's visit had come at the worst time, and only served to deepen her emotional wounds and speed up Shukaku's escape. Dropping her hands to her sides, she bowed softly to the two girls, then politely excused herself before walking towards the exit of the garden.
They were abound for konoha. Hopefully they would make it in time.
