It was still early morning when two travelers slipped out of their hotel towards the edge of town. The streets were empty and dead quiet. It was foggy, but the sun was rising and threatening to evaporate it quickly. The two figures continued walking briskly down the main street, silent.
Once they reached the fork where they would separate, the two women stopped. They had spent the past week getting to know one another in a whole new light, and neither one was in a hurry to leave. Biting the bullet, they faced each other.
"So this is where I takeoff," the pink haired maiden broke the silence.
The autumn beauty waited before saying, "Guess so. Do me a favor and stay out of trouble, k?"
"I will. Goodbye, Ino. See you right here in two weeks."
"Bye."
Sakura hugged Ino loosely, and Ino responded with the same gesture. They stayed that way for a second, absorbing each other's warmth. Then, reluctantly, the two friends went their separate ways; Each feeling slightly out of sorts, as if they were leaving something precious behind forever.
