A Burden In The Heart

 Since the death of Erabareshimono, life has not been the same in the dojo. Students like Josei and Raiba were often absent minded during training. The only person that seemed totally unfazed by the whole thing was Sensei, at least that's what he made them think. He had something on his mind that he was not sure of telling them.

Jose was sitting on the side of her bed hiding her face. She was crying quietly 😔 and feeling lonely. The only close person she had was dead. Though Raiba sometimes hanged out with them, he was mostly with Tokira. 

When he died, she felt a part of her heart had torn off. He was the only one that made her feel good - and he was gone. 

What she didn't know was that she actually had feelings for him.

Tokira and Raiba were sparring outside, Hito was testing out some moves in the training area of the dojo. Josei was in the students' bedroom while Sensei was deep in thought in his room. 

'Should I tell them. No, they wouldn't understand. No I have to do it.'

He thought they were all in their room so he walked towards their room. 

When he entered, Josei cleaned her tears immediately and composed herself. 

"I'm not crying, what's crying? Oh Sensei, you are the one...how're you doing?"

"Where are the rest?"

"They are probably doing something else because they are not here."

"Okay, actually I wanted to tell you guys something but especially you...don't kill me for this...
