homura (DarkMudkip/Jikkah)

It was an improvement; he would have said something about her being too cripple to be of use, now he just said she was rushing. She'd take it.
"Says the guy who carves himself up to get demons drunk." She teased, "Get out of here before I kiss you again."
 
Sanemi made a noise and turned to leave. “Take care.” He said, his crow landing on his shoulder as he made his way to his next mission.
 
"You, too, Sanemi.." She said gently, watching him leave down the hall before she moved to get ready to meet Mitsuri. She was glad everyone had remained close enough to make reuniting easier, making her way to Mitsuri as quick as she could.
"Mitsuri-sama!" She called, trying not to hobble as she jogged, "I'm sorry I took so long! I had to stretch first!"
 
Mitsuri and the others had all already gathered, all chatting as they waited for the last member of their kakushi. She turned and smiled when she saw Yuko, waving her over. “Never mind that, I’m just glad to see you again!”
 
She blushed under her coverings, eyes squinting with a bright smile, "I'm glad to see you and everyone, as well!" She said as she came closer, "I won't keep us any longer, forgive me once again." She bowed gently before straightening out.
 
“Oh stop that, c’mon, I think everyone will enjoy our next location!” She said as she turned to start off. “I’ve been there a few times before, and I think you’ll enjoy it just as much as I have!”
 
Mitsuri turned to look with a smile, holding a finger over her mouth. “That’s a secret!” She gave a cheery laugh. “Just trust me when I say you’ll enjoy it!”
 
They all nodded excitedly, wondering just where it was their master was spoiling them.
"Ano, Mitsuri-sama.." Yuko called softly, lagging behind just a bit.
 
Mitsuri turned and looked to Yuko, stopping when she saw she was starting to lag behind. “Yuko-chan, are you okay? Is it your leg?”
 
She shook her head gently, "I just wanted to tell you that...I think my relationship with Sanemi-dana is improving a little..." She said quietly. She wasn't going to go into great detail about it, but she was excited nonetheless that Mitsuri's advice was working.
 
Mitsuri let out a little squeal of excitement, face flushing as she did her best to be quiet, but hardly was so. “Really? That’s great news, Yuko-chan!”
 
Mitsuri made a noise, thinking for a moment. “I dunno, I think it was all you, all you needed was a little push.”
 
"O-Oh no, you've seen him, he's quite scary...! Even when I trained under him...! You give me really good advice...!" She stammered.
 
“You don’t give yourself enough credit, Yuko-chan.” She said with a kind smile. “You still did all the hard part yourself, and never gave up.”
 
“And that’s the bravest thing one can do- keep trying even if they’re scared.” Mitsuri said in hush so they weren’t overheard.
 
“Of course! Everyone always puts their faith in me, so I can only do the same and put my faith in them!” She said firmly.
 
They would soon come to a point where they would have to be transported blindfolded, traded off one kakushi guide at a time before they were taken to their final destination. Once they had their blindfolds removed, they found themselves at the gate of a large a beautiful village.
 
"Oh!" Yuko recognized it immediately, "I know where we are!" She gasped. She became excited, trying not to scurry away without permission.
 
Mitsuri couldn’t help the big smile that came across her face, clapping her hands together. “That’s right! We’re at the Swordsmith village!”
