The captain of the eight division stood perfectly still staring at the graver marker beneath the sakura tree.
The captain clenched a fist at the side of the uniform.
"I'm sorry." Kneeling down placing a singular white rose. On the grass that covered the grave. "I'm sorry you died protecting me." The captain bowed deeply and began to softly crying. "Im sorry I was so weak."
"Mama?" The Captain heard the queit voice behinde her. She turned around.
"Mama, are you ok?"
The captain nodded. "I am ok Toshiko."
The little gril knelt beside her mother. "Then why are you crying, mama." The little girl looked at the grave marker. "Shunsi Kyokara. Did you know him, Mama."
Nanao nodded. "Yes I did." Nano ran her hand down the side of Toshiko's face. She looked so much like him it hurt. Her curly mane of brown hair pulled it the low pony tail. "He was a very brave man, and one day ill tell you all about him." She stood and took the little girls hand.
Lets go home.
