Picking up Kushina

Ethan drove back to the hub, idly wondering how the girls were doing at home with Mirko.

After parking, Ethan went inside and walked up to the desk, Lisa already there giving him a smile.

"I've come to pick up Kushina." Ethan told her.

"Yes, she's all ready and she's quite attached to the fox." Lisa giggled as she went to the back.

Ethan waited a moment and saw Kushina coming out, she looked a bit tired, she also had a small Vulpix in her arms, hugging it like a plush.

"Everything went well, she'll be a bit tired from the procedure but rest assured, she'll be okay." Lisa smile at him.

"Thank you Lisa, ready to go Kushina?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, can we get some ramen?" She asked as they walked out, the fox huffed but climbed up Kushina's chest and rest himself around her neck.

"Seems like Kurama likes you." Ethan smirked as they exited through the door and walked through the car.

"I was able to talk to him before his soul was placed here and we came to an agreement... He simply asked to be respected and to have some time alone when we get back home." Kushina sighed as she pets Kurama.

Being sealed inside someone for a long time must make you crave for some space...

"See, it's not so bad, let's get you some ramen." Ethan got in the car with Kushina following him.

Once on the road, Kushina looked at him. "There are people who ****... Characters right?" She asked.

"Yes ... And since your considered property, not much can be done about that, there are people who are against it." Ethan thinks to the organization that's against RealDreams, he sighed. "I don't really like thinking about it, I'm not one of those people to **** others." Ethan told her.

"... Okay, it's hard to comprehend that there are some of us here who are genuinely happy here." Kushina commented.

"It basically comes down to who your master is, there are people who allow characters to do certain things, but it's not common, people are selfish that way." Ethan explained.

Kushina nodded and looked at Kurama who moved onto her lap.

Ethan wondered how the other girls were doing?
