Three years later Emi kissed her newly-wed husband, "Sooo… ever going to tell me what you were doing training your 'chakra control' the other day at the hot-springs that required you to have byakugan activated?"
Heiseki shrugged, "I told you again and again, it's just that byakugan drains my chakra, I was working on controlling the loss of chakra and-"
"Do you really think I'm buying that? When I came out, you said that the red flower would have been better."
"No, but it's a good cover in case someone else asks."
Emi smiled and sat up, "I see…"
Heiseki stretched out his arms, "Amebi and Ameki joined the academy today…"
"Really?" Emi said putting her arm over her husband's chest, "wait… hasn't it been months since school started?"
"They're taking after their brother…"
"Oh no…" Emi said shaking her head, "Poor Sakura," she continued, "I bet that's taking a toll on her, even with that new technique…"
"What technique?"
"The one that keeps the body younger… she's been studying extra hard recently… she's on the verge of perfecting it."
"How 'on the verge'?"
"The Hokage's wife is using it, as is he."
Heiseki nodded, "That's pretty good," she nodded in agreement, since that meant that it was better then what occurred naturally in them.
"Hey… WS?"
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering…"
"About what?"
"Remember when we fought Lobo? And you unleashed all your chakra?"
"Yeah," he said raising his hand and clenching a fist, "My body's never been the same since, I have so much more stamina then before."
"I've noticed," she said giggling, "But that's not what I was talking about, you said you figured it out, why your father fights…"
Heiseki leaned over and kissed Emi, "You want to know?"
She nodded after she stopped kissing him, after waiting so long, it seemed right that she would be allowed to act the way she was now.
"We both fight for the same thing," he said caressing her face, "We both fight for love."
