Will things get better? Sousuke had to believe so. He was in a difficult position. A Kazekage before him with no desire to take the throne. A ward and her life-partner out in the wilds. Sousuke was left to take care of her child. The Cabal were defeated for now. It was a conflicted time for the Steward. He was not sure of what to do next. In the grand scheme of things it was logical to try and get things back into motion. The Steward watched as Shiori left him to find Aki. Soon enough she found the child and took him back to bed. "Thanks Shiori."<i></i> He stood there in the living room for a moment longer before going up the stairs.
If Kyouzou was still alive, in a limited form, was Hyakuei still out there too? Was he not defeated? He was. Yet, and yet Sousuke wondered if that was truly the case. If that was not the case, then he would be defeated. Again. Time was a flat circle. Whatever we do to each other, will happen yet again.
Sousuke returned to his bed, before getting on the bed he looked to see the hole Shiori had made in his wall from earlier. It was ... unsettling. He waved his hands and formed a few seals. A wall of earth would appear and fill in the damage Shiori had done earlier. It was a patch job, but one that would do for the time being. In the next few days he would replace the wall entirely. Fill it in properly. Pain it. Get the job done right. He sat on the edge for a moment longer, before turning to get into it. He would get up in a few hours. The village's chakra crystals would activate giving them the light they needed for the day. It worked in accordance with the surface above them but... "It's always dark out."<i></i> Sousuke said to himself as he grabbed his pillow and rested his head on it. Hopefully he could get a few hours of sleep in. One strange day ends. Another begins.
