As days went by in Japan. We all looked around, I took Pucca to some spots she has never seen before and showed her how my life was before I moved into Sooga. She was amazed and interested in every story I told. I could tell she wants to know more. I told her about my father my school, how I used to train, and how I used to act.

"So you were one of those chatty cathys then?" The question caught me off gaurd, "uh-um...I guess so...? I mean I spoke a lot back then, about everything to everyone. I was a social butterfly. But once father passed away due to some issues I haven't acted the same. I came to Sooga and Master Soo told me of ways to revive honor for my family. I took the vow of silence, and so did you. Soon I trained and you always made my days interesting." Pucca giggled. She stops and looks at me. I stop as well. "Do you really have to go back to Sooga?" I nod. "We only came here for spring break. And seeing you here was a plus, don't worry, I'll come visit during your breaks for school. I could tell your spring break was to begin this week because all the people in Sooga were preparing for their own Sakura festivals." Pucca smiles, "are my uncles doing alright?" I nod. "That's good, I don't want them to worry." I place my arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry everytime you called Dada would tell them everything. They would always feel relieved as they were given this information." Pucca smiles, "that's good. I'm also hoping Dada can handle both the restaurant and delivery."

"Huh? Dada doing delivery?"

"Yeah, Uncle told me before I left that Dada would take over deliveries."

"Ah, he isn't doing them. Ching, Abyo and I have been helping them out with deliveries and I as always still go and collect ingredients."

"My ninja is as honorable as always." I smile but slowly it fades, "actually. I think I brought dishonor to my family." Pucca looks at me. "I broke my bow of silence about two months ago. I started talking when you left,. I wanted to express myself more. Master Soo's punishment wasn't that bad either. Haha!" Pucca looks away and frowns. "Lucky.." I look at her as we pass by a cafe. "I was beaten by one of his maidens. I still have scars on my back and my legs from it." My eyes widen. "What the hell!?" Pucca's eyes fill with tears. "Oh princess don't cry. It's ok, that's the past and it doesn't matter. As long as you are happy now."

She nods. "yeah, as long as I'm happy." She looks at me and places a kiss on my cheek. I smile and hug her. I am lucky to have her as my girlfriend now.

My heart beating faster as I hold her in my embrace. She lays her head in my chest, listening to my heart beat, soon I look down as she begins to copy the sound of my heart, "boom, boom, boom."

I smile, "all this is because of you princess." I kiss her forehead as we head back to her apartment. Tomorrow is the day we leave. Ching, Abyo and I return to Sooga. Leaving my princess here to continue her studies.

I will miss her once again.
