Ironically, this was inspired by 3AM watchings of Naruto. Lol, yes, I have indulged and am curious to figure out why all you Naruto fans love it so much. Lucienne was watching one of the first story arcs and has gotten to the point around episode 12 with that boy who lost his father and my heart goes out to him. I think I feel for that loss and I am beginning to understand the courage to stand that the boy finally takes up and shoulders to himself. There is a lot in anime that talks about various rites of passage for kids becoming adults or for overcoming great pain and suffering or for other similar things but what it really boils down to is a decision. A decision to remember and stop blocking what someone might have tried to tell you once upon a time. Oh, and it's funny. This boy who was the inspiration? The same one who is the voice actor for Yahiko in Rurouni Kenshin. He even has the black spiky hair to match Yahiko's. Just, no bamboo practice sword, slightly different era, and he's shorter. Haha. Anyway, here is my blurb on what I was thinking about that situation. XD

This is kind of just a sketch but I'll leave it as a deviation anyway, because I've done the same kind of thing on a lot of my past deviations. Ummm. (lol, anooooo...too much anime XD Orihime, get your voice out of my head, OUT!) It's probably a WIP but I don't think I'll take it much beyond this at this point. Bai!
