Battle Between Friends

Young Kitari (aka Saffron) and Naginata (aka Rogue) from my original story Machinegun Angel having a friendly sparring match. They were about 13 here. Naginata was raised by a dojo after his mother was murdered by his birth father. He met Kitari, a fiery tomboy who sympathized with him because of his appearance. Naginata was picked on by the other students because of his numerous birthmarks. The two became close friends.

It's too bad what happened to them later in life. You'll have to wait and read the story to find out!

You can find the lineart for this in my scraps.
