Friends… Raikou had never really had a friend except for Aya who was with him for his whole entire life and was more like a mother figure to him than a friend… but she was a friend as well as a mother! Raikou almost laughed at that. Aya his mom… even though she was even shorter than him, was younger, and had an almost protective attitude over Raikou with others. Raikou smiled. He’d never have to forgive Aya for being like that! He’d never have to forgive Aya of anything! She was perfect just the way she was! However… Raikou still did fear, Raikou still didn’t want Aya to go away… however… he wouldn’t be as crushed as he would have been before… he was mentally prepared to move on… he was growing up and this jutsu helped him to do it faster.
‘You have forgiven yourself and have moved on from Aya to your own future… Congratulations, however, you must still forgive yourself for the loneliness you’ve inflicted upon yourself for the past nine years.’
It was right. It had been self inflicted. Because he hadn’t gotten to know others in his class after the first move, he hadn’t made any new friends and had lost the old ones. Because he had lost his friends, he needed a place to fit in so he excelled at the academy and grew in the ranks quicker and quicker, learning more and more and spending time with others less and less to the point where he was always with Aya and always training… even now… even right this moment he was hiding from his fear by training. He needed to let it go… he needed to forgive himself. He needed to move on… like water flowing, he needed to be himself and let the troubles wash over him and off.
‘You have forgiven yourself for your loneliness. Your pain may still exist, however, it is far less than the pain you have felt before, no?’
‘how did you know? Who are you?’
‘Like I said before, I am you, I knew because I was inside you the whole time. I know your fears and I know your joys. I know why you do everything, all you must do is look inside yourself and all will be made clear. Just believe.’
Raikou opened his eyes and a tear rolled down a cheek. So… this was what forgiving yourself felt like. Raikou reached up and wiped it from his face. He had to be strong, he couldn’t cry over the pain that was, the pain that no longer inhabited him. If anything, he should be happy that he didn’t need to feel that way anymore… if anything, he should be happy that he realized he now had a friend! Talia… if she would be his friend… but that was a fear that no longer had a place in his heart! All he had to do was ask…
“Talia…?” Raikou asked.
She opened her eyes and looked at Raikou. “Yeah? What is it kid?” She asked, she seemed a little irritated.
“Um… do you… uh… want to be… friends?” Raikou asked, the hope filled his body and made it feel light as a feather. Talia blinked several times, not sure exactly what to make of it. She then smiled and nodded.
“Sure, you’re on! However, I still have a couple things I need to sort out with myself too… but I think you just helped me with one of them.” Now it was Raikou’s turn to blink. He… had a friend… Raikou’s smile grew bigger. He had a friend! He had a real friend! He felt like he was going to explode with energy. He had his first real friend! Raikou smiled, now he felt more at peice with himself than he had ever felt in a long time, if not ever! He felt... like... a kid!
