Suzu obtains a sphere!

He bowed her head in return.
"So do you want my assisstance, Suzu-Chan?"

"If you insist." She blinked at what he called her. "You must promise to be careful though. I'd rather you didn't get hurt because of me and my bad luck."

"I dont mind, i can take a hit,"
He smiled.

"Still..." She paused. "Nevermind. Okay, exactly what do I have to do to fuse with this sphere?"

"Just hold it against the area you want it to fuse with,"
He explained.

"Okay." She reached out calmly to take the clear white sphere.

He carefully passed it to her, making sure it wasn't dropped.

Suzu carefully lifted the orb and it shined when her hand touched it. She gingerly held it over her heart, touching the skin, and as the light it emitted intensified, she could feel the fusion take place. It wasn't painful to her at all, but it did feel as if she was gaining another mind.

As the light faded, she touched the fused sphere gently. It felt strange, but oddly natural.

She smiled.
"It looks beautiful. You will be a good wielder.."

"I hope so." She smiled, a happier one, for the first time.

"I hope to help you in any way i can.."
He bowed.

"And I you." She returned the bow.

He smiled and kissed her hand politely.
"Well, where to?"

"Before we go anywhere out of town, there's a place I'd like to visit."

"And that place would be..?"
He asked curiously.

She halted. "The graveyard. I want to pay my respects before I leave."

"I see..Do you wish to do that alone?"

"You're free to come if you want to."

"if you wish to go alone then i'll wait here for you,"

"I want you to come." She turned her gold eyes on him. "If we're going to be together for a while, it only makes sense that you understand."

He nodded and smiled.
"I see...Well, lead the way,"

"Okay then. This way." She made her way outside the temple and through town. It wasn't far to walk. Not long after, she stopped suddenly.

"We're here."

In front, a large cemetary stood. She led Hayato along the path and came to a small gravestone. On it, 'Akira Hibiki' was engraved, along with other words underneath.

"My father is buried here." Suzu said quietly.

He kneeled by the grave and bowed her head, paying his respects.
"...."

She copied his actions, kneeling down and bowing her heaed, sending a silent prayer to her father. After a moment, she stood up again. "Okay, is there anything we really have to do as of this moment?"

He shook his head.
"I think we're ok for the moment.."
