If he didn't know any better, he'd say Tsume looked almost nervous.

Raidou turned that thought around in his head and almost gave himself a mental slap; he hardly knew Tsume at all. One drunk night, one awful mission, and one hospital visit did not a friendship make. He knew she was a tough as molded steel, never without her giant dog (except when she was), and a killer little fighter, but beyond that...

Well, maybe he knew a little more than that--

she'd forgiven him; she needed a break from her family; she had a soft spot for kids and none at all for kid-killers; she'd ended up stuck between Tousaki and Hatake...

--but not much.

Still, there wasn't much he didn't know about taijutsu, so maybe he should stop chewing over the mystery of Inuzuka Tsume and focus on that.

"If your chakra's still healing, how about we spar without it?" he suggested.
