After a long battle, Hanabi and Ryu had defeat Shion with the five tail kitsune being laying on the ground, unconscious as Hanabi had her gun aim at her former sister's head with the female shortstack having a small bruise of her cheek, her hand trembling a few times, not really wanting to kill the kitsune.

Ryu: *would walk over and lower her hand, seeing how she wouldn't pull trigger along with her hand trembling* You don't have to kill her you know.

Hanabi: *glance over at him, having a small tears in her eyes* But, she'll-

He would stopped her with a shake of his head.

Ryu: *had a small smile* Would you rather kill her here and now with you in regret at a second chance or you possibly helping her gain who she was once was?

The female shortstack stay silent at this with the redhead male chuckling, already knowing her answer.

Hanabi: *wiped her eyes, letting out a few sniffs* You're just like her.

Ryu: *close his eyes at this* Which one?

Hanabi: *kick him in the shin at his respone* Figure that out.

The redhead male chuckle slightly while rubbing where he was kick as both glance back at the female kitsune.

Ryu: *look over at the female shortstack* What do you want to do with her?

Hanabi: *stare at her former sister before turning away, lower her hat* Leave her. If we brought her along with us, it'll be trouble later on. *whisper lowly to herself* It's something I need to handle later.

The redhead shinobi nodded in respone and pick up the female shortstack who would be surprised by this.

Hanabi: *look up at him when he did this, having a blush of embarrassment* What the fuck!? Put me down!

Ryu: *rise a brow at this but had a small smirk towards her* Huh? I thought you would like to rest, given what you been through.

Hanabi: *stare at him for a moment before putting her head against his chest while waiting herself comfortable and mumbled to the male shinobi* Whatever.

Ryu: *shook his head and start to walk out of the town* So you're going to start being nice to me now?

Hanabi: *smirks with her closing her eyes* Depends if you can deal with a bitch like me.

Ryu: *sweatdrop slightly, going to his thoughts* Perhaps this was a mistake.

The female shortstack let out a small laugh at this at look across his face.

A few hours later
The two had arrive at home where both would be pull into a bone trying hug by Momiji who notice injure her son had on his shoulder along with the bruise on Hanabi's cheek with the purple hair female frowning lightly.

Momiji: *let the two go as Ryu put Hanabi down* What happened?

Hanabi: *smirks with one eye close* Just a fight.

The female shortstack elbow the redhead shinobi who quickly nodded in agreement with her.

Momiji: *stare at the two for a few second before letting out a sigh and smile motherly at the two while going to her thoughts* At least, Hanabi seem to had bond with him so I guess it's fine.

The purple hair kunoichi would soon grab her two children, going to patch them up.
