Kai sat on the swing outside the Snow Academy. She was feeling horrible about the attack they'd made on the Stealth. She had family and friends there and wasn't sure if they were okay or even alive. Tears welled in her eyes and she had to wipe them away. "Why is there always a war going on?" She asked quietly. "When is there ever just peace?"

Kraven sat on the swing next to Kai. "When you're a ninja, there is no peace. We live to fight, but you can make your own decisions." He gave her a small smile, but nothing more. His red eyes sympathetic. "Kai, no one would hold it against you, if you gave up the life of a ninja. It's a hard road, and not everyone is up to it." He wasn't trying to get her to quit, but wanted her to know that it was an option.

Kai looked up as Kraven sat on the swing next to her. "Hi," she murmured. Kai didn't expect to see him today. She gave him a small smile as he told her that being a ninja meant no peace, but they could always make their own decisions. "You mean like Takashi?" She asked. Kai shook her head as he suggested that she could quit. "I like being a ninja, all my friends are ninja, and well, I don't want to quit because of one little mistake."
