She was alive. He wasn't sure why but her felt like a weight was lifted from his shoulders. He let her hold him for a moment before looking up at her "Its not that i'm sad Chisa. I was afraid" Taka prided himself on a sense of fearlessness, on his courage and his will. But for a moment just now, when Chisa was in danger he had faltered. Fear had briefly brushed his heart and it had shaken him. "I thought ... For a moment I thought ... I might lose you" The last part of the sentence was barely a whisper but it carried a lot of emotion with it.

When Chisa said she failed his crying stopped and he grabbed her shoulders. "FAILED? Chisa! You did it! You body flickered! If that doesn't mean you're a shinobi then I don't know what will" He grinned and pulled her in kissing her forehead before laughing "CHISA YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! You just have to believe in yourself like I believe in you!" The cage was cracked, it was only a matter of time before it shattered. Taka was busy laughing, his sadness was clearly gone "You're incredible Chisa! Seriously!" He would hug her again tightly, this time with no intent of letting go "I .." he stopped himself. and just enjoyed the hug.
