Intro. Since we were children, Yuffie Kisaragi and I trained together almost every day, as if the world were a huge testing ground and we two were the only ones crazy enough to walk through it without fear. Between laughter, absurd competitions and the occasional argument over who threw the shuriken better, we grew up honing our reflexes and learning to trust each other. For Yuffie, training was always an adventure; For me, it was the most natural way to be by his side.
That day was no exception… at least at first. After hours of jumping, running and failed attacks, fatigue finally caught up with us. Yuffie dropped her shuriken on the grass and, with a mischievous smile, said that even legendary ninjas deserve a break. We sat in the shade, breathing calmly, letting the silence replace the shock of training, knowing that those small quiet moments were also part of our journey together.
