Silver and blue pairs of eyes stared at the arrow that reached its mark. No words were needed to be said after that. They both knew that from that moment on, as long as they're together they could overcome anything.
Ara smiled as an overwhelming sense of freedom filled her senses. Seeing the arrow that represented their plethora of bad feelings and shortcomings find its way where it should go, gave her a sense of assurance. She wrapped her arms around his waist again as she leaned her head against his back.
Ryuu had loosened up a lot too. The rigidity of his body was no longer there. Also, the anarchic atmosphere around him was gone, replaced by something akin to tranquility. It was as if he too had been set free.
"Please don't leave me again…"
Homura Ryuu's soft baritone echoed in the dojo and in her heart. Ara clung onto him tighter, but he had already pried her arms open so he'd be able to turn around and face her once more.
