Sakura's voice rose with each word and she was quickly getting hysterical again. "Right like she tried to see things from my perspective. She never did, she just condemned me for actions which I regretted almost as soon as I made them." Sakura pulled away from him, ignoring the pain that shot through her and grabbed the mirror. It had been a sort of peace offering, a way in which to apologize to her cousin and help her at the same time. "I wont forgive her and if you are just going to try and make me feel guilty I think you should leave as well." Sakura told him putting on a brave face, pulling together all the elements of the mask which she had recently forgotten to adopt every morning.
Jack raised an eyebrow at Sak as he listened "You know how you felt when you tried to apologise repeatedly and she didn't listen, well, she feels like that, and I was up there, protecting you, fighting for you, I didn't cast any spells back, because it's not worth it, I have to save it, I have to be ready for the upcoming fight, yes, Sak, it's coming, faster than you think" Jack said worriedly "We have to be ready, and strong, I am not wasting my time with pathetic child duels, I need to duel someone better, someone who isn't scared of me, someone who can take what I can throw at them" Jack told her "And Ruby just isn't that person. If you want me to leave, fine, I don't want to go, but if it's what you want, then I will" Jack said flatly "Just remember, I love you and I will do anything for you" Jack told her, standing up, he paused for Sak to say what she wanted to.
