Sinon Yuki's house
Sinon chuckled a bit but took a serious face. ''There is Rogues, Xenos, Outcasts and sometime people aren't so easy to talk with unlike here...'' The woman looked at Minato into his eyes. ''I had a dream one day and... it was the members of the forty-sixth. They said ''Come back!'' ''We need you! You are the best!'' Those thoughts haunt me even now... I don't know what to do... I want to stay here, in kusari and... with you...'' She was clearly between two choices and couldn't choose one properly.
Minato thought of something to say, but was at a loss for words. He found it strange that she wanted to go back to Liberty, even after everything she said about it. "I see. Dreams can be quite powerful sometimes, but I would advise to..." Minato thought of something good to say. Something that would help her, But no words came to mind."Is there any other reasons why you can't decide what to do? Maybe if you consider everything, a choice might reveal itself?" Minato hoped this would help her find some peace, but then again, Minato could not know. He could only try.

Sinon was running out of words. She looked at Minato and got a bit closer. ''I don't know... I.. I could leave Kusari but... I don't want to loose what I got here.'' Sinon brought her right hand on Minato's left shoulder. ''Also... if I leave, you will be alone against those chrysanthemums.''
Minato's heart started pumping. Fast. If he didn't have words then, he couldn't piece them together now. Minato looked Sinon in the eyes, and took a deep breath. "I can handle it, well, not really but, I can try at least. Don't worry about me. And I won't be completely all alone, I will have Shimamori and... well... whoever else..." Minato took both his hands and placed them on her shoulders. "If leaving Kusari is what is best, do it. If it is what you want, do it. Who knows? Maybe you can find even more there."

The woman was blushing a bit. She was thinking about his words but also, she had swore fidelity to Shimamori. Her sense of duty was strong. Even if she did not know all about her father's story and family's, before her, everyone had this strong sense of duty and more that she was unaware of. ''Even if it would be better or not, I have sworn fidelity to Shimamori. I am his sword. I can't go... not yet. His safety and your safety is my priority. All the rest... is nothing. If him and you are killed... I.. I will be alone...'' Then, she hugged Minato. It was the thing she needed to do.
Minato was caught of guard by that. Though he was surprised how happy he felt, he also felt fear. If something were to happen... Anyone against him would know who to harm, and it would hurt to see. Now he had to prevent that, and he just didn't know if he could. Minato started to feel sleepy, it was pretty late after all. But, he had more to say. "We won't. We will be fine." Minato tried to sound confident, but he was not sure if that would be true.
Sinon Yuki's house ''Minato... promise me one thing... Do not do stupid actions.'' Sinon did not move a bit. She wanted to stay as she was against Minato. It was like if he was the safty buoy. Suddenly, tiredness reached her and backed off a bit. It was late and she wouldn't want to keep Minato longer. ''It begins to be late... Thank you, Minato. I.. I needed to empty my bag...''
"anytime." Minato smiled."I will, uh, try not to get myself killed but... You can never know." He took a glance at his watch. It was late. "I am sorry, I must go now, but I wanted you to have this." Minato reached into his pocket and pulled out a red shiny pearl. On closer look it could be identified as a Junyo Fire pearl. He held it up and reached out his arm to give the glistening object to her. "This is the very pearl that made me late to the island. If it wasn't for it, I might have died that day. I kept it as a good luck charm ever since, and now, I want you to have it. It looks like you could use some luck."

Sinon Yuki was surprised by the gift. She smiled to him. ''Arigato, Minato.'' Then, she led him to the door and before to let him go, she kissed Minato's forehead. It was the way to give him chance. ''Consider this as a luck charm.''
Minato could not describe the feeling. Now, it was his turn to say thank you. "Arigato, Sinon." He smiled. But he had to go. It was very late. "I will see you again in space, sometime. But for now I must go. Sayonara." Minato looked back, and took a step outside the door. He continued on the path to his Chimaera, and jumped in. After checking for flaws, he started the engine. It flared to life, and then, Minato had left. The light from the engines of his Chimaera was the only thing left behind.
