Akira was getting ready to leave: all that it required now was putting on his shoes. She didn't like the idea - but it wasn't her call. He would turn to leave, but her words would stop him and he'd turn again, a face like thunder.
She of course didn't need to know that if he ever became the Tsuchikage, he'd slowly close out Kirigakure. They weren't friends, they weren't allies: and they weren't even players on the field of war. They were just backward savages.
And even the other villages - like Sunagakure, Kusagakure hadn't done anything so far to hurt him. But Kirigakure had, and they'd hit where it hurt. So unless things changed, or he met people that made him think otherwise, those thoughts would stay the same and entrench themselves in his mind.
One day, if he were in the reigns: he'd pull the plug on their isles.
Then there it was: of course she wouldn't be happy about it but he had to do one thing or another. But she'd effectively said that she cared for him. That was...
Sweet. In his eyes. His family had said the exact same words, but they didn't mean the same coming from them. Akira had the same feelings for other people: but perhaps not aired them out as she was.
But as it turned out, a thought rose in his mind. Then it stuck: and the man actually though it would work out.
'Yeah.' he'd made it up in his mind. He was serious enough, but it wasn't a thing of love to him. This was about doing what was right. Akira was passionate, and explained why he was emotional and a hot head, and why he couldn't just sit down and take it anymore.
"Then fetch me a brush and some ink." Akira would turn, and finally sit back down. She'd know where they were but not what for and when she returned, he would be standing again and waiting around for her.
He finally finished on her hand: around her middle finger. Not her ring: where the fuuinjutsu usually corresponded to. He would take the two pieces, putting the pot of ink on her dressing table: and dipping the brush.
"Sit down." She was likely being given the thought this wasn't something normal. He'd take her hand gently - holding it up in front of him as his hand and he began to brush kanji onto her: and around her middle finger. His concentration would be found with his furrowed brows as he worked on her hand quietly.
Throughout the ordeal he was being quiet: but it didn't explain that he was also nervous and his stomach was also tight and he didn't really want to face the consequences either.
But she wasn't Arashi. He'd not wanted to do it around his own finger. A part of him savouring the idea that there was still a chance. But Yoko: she deserved it as much as anybody, and Akira would be willing to do it for any one of his friends and family.
As he went around her finger, she would see what it was he was creating. Then he would begin to do it on his own finger.
"....Then. I promise I will do everything to keep myself safe." he would perform a single handseal: and all of the Kanji would begin to arrange together and take form of a ring around both of their middle fingers.
"And us." Akira would add. It wasn't a declaration of love to him. But he was clever about his words: of course he would do everything to keep himself safe. The Jinchuuriki wasn't saying anything that was different from when he'd last said it - but that declaration would help her more than anything.
Perhaps he wouldn't get through to her or get her approval, but he wouldn't visibly tell her that he'd back down either. That would be the price of his words.
"I can't promise to renege on my words. But I can promise I won't do anything that will bring me to grievous harm." Akira believed in his own skills. "Are we good?" Of course he was the one saying that. Who else? He'd place a hand underneath her chin again: his index finger and thumb pressed together while he pulled her gaze to his face: and kissed her once.

CLASSIFICATION: Fuinjutsu
REQUIREMENTS:
Tattoo Fuin Seal Around Left Second Finger/ Corresponding Seal On Other Person
DESCRIPTION:
An adaptation of the BASIC FUIN SEAL with a specific sealing in mind. The user seals a wedding vow (or written promise of intent) that is made at the time of sealing into a seal that is tattooed around the users left second finger (where a normal wedding ring would go). Then a second, identical, seal is created onto another person's second left finger so that both have matching seals. The tattoo's act as a medium to seal one another's wedding vow/promise of intent into.
Shinobi who commit to one another often choose this seal instead of wedding rings as jewellery can often get lost on the field of battle.
The seal remains in tact until one person (or both) dies, at which point both seals break and disappear as the link is severed between the two. The seal would also break if the appendage in question is chopped off or removed from the body.
