And here is chapter fifteen!
Prev: Sojiro nodded and he walked to the mother. Sora and Sojiro both picked her up and carefully laid her in the grave. Tsua looked how her mother was slowly disappearing under sand. A few minutes later, the grave was complete. Sora walked a little bit into the forest and saw a few flowers. She carefully pulled them out the ground and walked back at the grave. She laid the flowers before the rock. After that, Sora walked to the other side of the grave and started to pray respectfully. Sojiro started to pray too, and a then Tsua followed their example.
"We can't take her with us Sora-chan." Sojiro said smiling.
"But we can't leave her here either! She'll die when we do that!"
"What were you planning to do? Take her with us to mountain Hieï and ask Shishio-san to keep an eye on her?" Asked Sojiro scratching his brown hair.
"No," Sora replied looking Sojiro in the eyes. "I want to make sure that she goes to a good family, were she can be happy. We can't leave her here, we can't leave her in an orphanage, we just can't! No…I, I just can't! It's my fault that she has no mother anymore. I must make sure that she can be happy again. And that she doesn't end up like me!"
Sojiro smiled even more. He turned around and started to walk away.
"Okay Sora-chan. We'll take her wit us and find her a family." He turned around. "But we must make hurry now, we've lost a lot of time here."
Sora walked to Sojiro and hugged him.
"Thank you so much Sojiro-chan…I…" A tear rolled over her cheek. Sojiro carefully kissed the tear away.
"I'm sorry Sojiro-chan…You must think I'm weak now…"
"I would never think such thing Sora-chan." He stroked her read hair. "We'll let's go now. And don't cry, your doing a good thing."
Sora smiled and turned around to get Tsua. She was still sitting at the grave of her mother. Tsua looked up when she heard Sora's footsteps. Sora stood still next to Tsua.
"Are you ready to go?"
Tsua looked at the grave. A tear rolled of her cheek.
"You can always come back to visit the grave…I'll make sure of that."
Tsua looked up, her eyes were red of tears. "Really?" She almost said in a whisper.
Sora nodded. The girl nodded at this too and stood up. "Ready…"
In the meantime, Sojiro was thinking of what he did.
"This isn't right…If Shishio-san's theory of the strong and the weak is correct…then actually I must leave this girl here. Cause if she is strong, she'll survive, if she is weak, she'll die."
Sojiro looked at the direction were Sora had walked to.
"But…I want to make Sora-chan happy. Yes. Maybe for once I can ignore the law of the strong. Just for her. For Sora-chan."

"Three plates of fish and rice please." Said Sojiro smiling.
(AN: I have no idea of what they ate in those days…:p)
"Okay, your order will be right up." Said the waitress and then walked away.
Sojiro, Sora and Tsua were sitting at a table of a restaurant. They all were hungry, so they decided that they would eat in the next village they passed. Good thing that Shishio had never crossed this village. Or else they would be hunted down like foxes. They ate their meal quietly, Sojiro and Sora didn't want to get attention of anyone. They had already told Tsua that they had to be careful. Tsua didn't understand it very much, but she knew that she had to be silent. When they were ready, Sojiro gave the waitress some money and they left the restaurant. Suddenly, Tsua stopped in her tracks. Sora turned around surprised.
"I'm sleepy…" Tsua said looking at the ground.
Sora looked at Sojiro, who had turned around too.
"We can't lose anymore time Sora-chan. But don't worry. I'll go and look how far they are with the battleship, and you stay here to find Tsua-san a nice home. When I'm ready I'll come back and we go back to Hieï."
Sora smiled and nodded. Sojiro smiled too, waved and continued to walk away.
"Where is Sojiro-san going?" Tsua asked looking at Sojiro's back.
"He's going away for a while, but he'll be back before you know it."
"Can we sleep now?"
"We first have to search a home to sleep in Tsua-san."
"Ow…" The girl said disappointed.
"Don't worry, we'll find one in no time. Do you want to sit on my back?"
Tsua was hesitating first, but then nodded. Sora kneeled down and Tsua jumped on her back. With Tsua on her back, Sora walked trough the village. They were walking around like this for five minutes, when Sora heard the silent snoring of Tsua.
"I want to find some place fast…Tsua is getting heavy…"
Sora continued to walk and she was about to give up when she saw a nice looking house. She knocked the door.
"Hello, is anyone home?"
She heard footsteps approaching the door and a woman around the age of 30 opened the door.
"Uhm, hello…could we spend a night in your house please? There's no hotel in the village and the next village is a few miles away…"
The woman looked surprised at Sora. She saw Tsua sleeping on Sora's back.
"Of course, come in!" The woman said holding the door open.
"Thank you very much." Sora said smiling walking in the house.
"Just sit down, I'll give this girl a bed to sleep in." The woman carefully got Tsua of Sora's back and carried her to another room. Sora sat down on the ground with a sigh. She was happy that Tsua's weight was of her back. A few seconds later, the woman walked in the room again.
"Thank you again Miss…"
"Nyozoma. Sakura Nyozoma. But you can call me Sakura if you want." The woman said smiling taking a seat across from Sora. "And your name is?"
Sora was first hesitating if she would say her real name or not. She decided that it wouldn't hurt anybody. "Sora Saotome. But you can call me Sora if you want." She added smiling.
"And who is that little girl that you carried on your back?"
"Tsua. I don't know what her last name is."
"How come?" Sakura asked surprised.
"I found her while I was travelling with a friend of mine. Her father wasn't anywhere to be seen and her mother was dead." Sora lied.
"That's horrible." Sakura replied.
"Yes…yes indeed…" Sora sighed.
"You look tiered too. If you want to you can sleep for a while now."
"That would be great, thank you." Sora replied smiling.
Ending of chapter fifteen! Hope you liked it! Till the next chapter!
