Hotaru would currently be standing next to Obelisk since they had arrived together. Today was the day they’d be going into war; their target? Konohagakure. She was wearing her normal shinobi uniform, a fishnet tanktop with a sleeveless maroon crop top that had a v-neckline. For bottoms were black shorts with a cloud ornament she had gotten from Obelisk tied to her belt loop, as for shoes they were thigh high shinobi sandals. On her hands were elbow-length black fingerless gloves.

As Keldran was pumping everyone up for the fight and even summoned his dragons, she’d shout with the crowd at the top of her lungs, feeling her blood starting to pump with excitement. “WOOO!” She was just as ready as every other previous Leaf Shinobi in getting their home land back. When they did they’d finally be able to live in peace, and she and her brother will finally be able to see their father again. During Keldran’s speech, she felt Obelisk grasp her hand and she held it with a small tinge of embarrassment. She wasn’t used to him showing public affection. She looked up at him and gave him a loving smile, only to have it waver after Keldran distribute the groups.

Hotaru was on Battalion two while Obelisk was on one; he even got her student while she got his. She felt her heart sink slightly; she’d be separated from her beloved and her student. Obelisks hand grasped hers tighter and she gladly returned it, this could be the last time they ever see each other. This time, Obelisk couldn’t protect her; she’d have to hold her own. As everyone began to go to their designated groups, Obelisk told her to wait and she did as she looked up at him; engraving every feature of his face into her mind. As Obelisk began to confess to her and remove his helmet, she couldn’t help but give him a sad smile. “Obelisk…you do enough with your actions. Its one thing to tell me you love me, showing is a different story. I don’t know where I’d be without you.” As he told her how loving her had improved his quality in life in more ways than one and how he wouldn’t be as strong without her encouragement, she felt her heart ache. She didn’t want to leave him, seeing him cry made it worse, he never cries…in front of her at least. She’d reach her hands up and brush some of his tears away, he would then say how it was her faith in him that gave him the nerve and now it was her turn to never leave him.

With that, he’d kiss her forehead before pressing his lips against hers. She’d melt into the kiss; this could potentially be their last one. “I promise, I won’t leave you.” She said, confidence in her voice. Hotaru would do everything in her power not to fall in this battle. She had too many places to be and people to see and meet. “You better protect Alwin, he’s my precious student.~ Don’t worry about Hiro, he’s in good hands.” She’d wink at him, not realizing she had a death grip on his armor. She’d release it as he turned to go to his Battalion.

Hotaru would watch him leave, whispering under her breath, “I’ll see you soon you idiot…” Tears began to fall down her face as she walked to her Battalion, wiping her eyes dry as she placed a hand on Hiroshoka’s shoulder. “Let’s make your sensei proud, yeah?” She’d say before looking up at Shinra. “Nice to see you again Shinra, I’m happy to be on a squad with you.”
