Post by Ruby on Aug 17, 2015 1:54:12 GMT -5
Ruby didn't want it to end. She felt so in love with the heat of the moment, and a part of her wondered how long he'd felt this way, or if he was just acting on sudden impulse. She knew deep inside that she had loved him, but she didn't honestly think he'd felt that way about her, so she pretended their bond was only friendship to avoid herself from getting hurt from being over-attached. One of her hands gently trailed down his neck and rested on his chest as he pulled her closer, and for a long, blissful moment, she felt truly connected with him and didn't think she could ever have felt happier.
However, all good things must come to an end, and eventually their lips broke apart, and she fluttered her eyes open, locking them with his. She'd continue to blush even more when he said those three simple but powerful words to her, and it felt like time stood still. He'd kissed her, of course, and it was only then that she decided to accept the feelings for him she knew had been there but had tried to ignore, and though she knew he must have felt at least something to have kissed her... there was something about him actually saying it that made her heart dance. She had no idea he'd felt that way for her, and as he continued to speak her mind only started to get confused more.
"W-what?" She asked, a little flustered. "Musashi... I liked you since the moment we met, and I only continued to like you more and more when I spent more time with you... I mean... how could I not? You're so sweet and kind and I... but I didn't know you felt this way at all! I thought you were the one who said you didn't want to become my boyfriend! And sure I secretly wanted to love you in this way, but I dismissed it as an odd feeling and just hid it deep inside, only pretending that I wanted to just be friends because I didn't want to do something foolish like falling in love with someone who didn't like me in that sort of way..." Ruby blushed slightly, looking away. "I mean... when you called me pretty and things like that... I just assumed you were nice like that to everyone--which I still don't doubt--but I thought it would be foolish to develop those kinds of feelings for someone who was so far out of reach... and I wanted that, but at the same time I... I really loved you and I was just fine with being nothing to you so long as you meant what you said all those times you told me you'd always stay by my side... I really had no idea you felt that way for me at all... I mean... I didn't ever think this would happen..."

"Well that's just it Ruby.. You dismissed your feelings. I thought that you only seen me like a brother... Every time I tried doing something to give you hints that I liked you... You never responded in a way in which I would have known you actually liked me."
He'd say to her momentarily before she continued to go on about how she only thought he was saying all of those nice complements because he was trying to be nice. He meant every word of it, and at the same time it was supposed to get her attention on his real feelings for her. But every time he tried making some kind of move their connection only felt as if they were only going to be friends. But now everything made sense to him. She was just trying to protect her emotion by pretending that she only saw him as a friend as well. "made it seem like you were just a friend because I didn't want to get hurt either. I just didn't think you were the type to actually have feelings for a guy romantically."
He'd say a little embarrassed as he looked away from her briefly. Honestly he never even knew his feelings for her ran this deep until now. He spent so much of his time trying to hide then, but in a sense anyone who had real experience could see he felt something more. Up until he moved in with his new roommate, all he ever really wanted to do in his free time was see Ruby. Even though he knew the entire time he had to put on that front in just wanting to be her friend, when deep down he felt something more than just that. Now he could embrace those feelings that he had for her without having to worry about how she felt about him. And to know that she was willing to stay by his side no matter what his feelings were only proved her feelings to be that much more real.
He'd never leave her side no matter what. His mom always told him about girls like this one, and how they were definitely keepers. Not only because of how amazing they were, but how understanding and loyal they could be. And she was definitely that girl for him. He knew that tomorrow he would have to address these other complications that he was having, but for now he just wanted to share this moment with her, and only her. She was the only thing that mattered to him right now. He wanted to spend the whole entire day with her, and if she'd allow him, he wanted her to stay with him over night as well. The feelings she was giving him right now was beyond amazing, and he wasn't ready for it to ever leave.
The Hattori's hands gently would slide down the torso of Ruby's body up until he got to her lower back area right above her buttock. His hands placed gently around her lower waistline. For a moment the Hattori would just look at the beautiful girl standing right in front of her as he saw both of her eyes for the first time. "Your eyes are beautiful. And I mean both of them." He'd say to her before pulling her in close to him again. His warm body rubbing up against hers as he lowered his head down gently to her forehead. He'd close his eyes and took a deep breath before he said what he felt like had to be said. The closer he got to her the faster his heart begin to beat. He loved the feeling of being this close to her. The feeling was rivaled by none.
"Ruby.. I want to spend the entire day with you.. Just you and I, with nothing else in the world mattering but us... Stay with me...." He'd whisper to her quietly. He hoped that she had felt the same way and that she did not want to leave as well. He knew there was a lot of time left in the day, and that asking her to stay would be asking a lot, but he couldn't deny the feelings he was having right now. He needed this moment so much so much, and he needed her most of all.

"W-what?" Ruby asked, flustered by the things he said. She quickly shook her head. "Not at all! I... you're a lot like my brother and I absolutely loved that about you, but I never saw you as a brother!" She frowned a bit, trying to think. "How should I put this... Jet he... he's got to be one of the most amazing people in the entire world--and I'm not exaggerating. Not that I honestly think he'd be brave enough to get into a relationship, but if he ever did, I can't deny I would have been slightly jealous of the girl because... well, I thought she'd be one of the luckiest girls in the world to have someone as amazing as him around." She'd look up at him and say, "I never honestly thought I'd meet someone else in this world who was actually like him in such good ways. I... I'm sorry if you thought I only thought of you as a brother because I compared you to him a lot, that wasn't at all how I felt about you, ever."
She was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. To her, her brother was the closest person to her in the world and she loved him with all of her heart and with such a passion that she never felt she would need anyone else, and she certainly didn't think anyone else in the world could possibly have made her feel the same way. But he was the only family she knew or wanted, and though she knew she compared Musashi to him a lot, it wasn't at all because she thought of him as a brother. To her, she had the best brother in the world so there was no need to think of other people in that sort of sense, and if there was anyone she thought of as a brother it was... well... she didn't really know, if she was to be honest, the thought never really crossed her mind.
The girl would shake her head again at what he said. "You have no idea what kinds of things I've been through, so of course romance was one of the last things I ever thought about... I'm more used to being hated than anything, so love always seemed to be out of the question. And it's true, I may have secretly hoped that one day I'd fall in a romance with someone like you, but I honestly didn't think I would need something like that... I mean..." She looked away slightly, embarrassed that she was still talking about him to Musashi, but there was really no avoiding it. "When I was younger I always had Jet, so I desired nothing so long as he was by my side. When he was gone and I was older, I hated everything and didn't want anything or anyone else in my life, I just wanted him back. I'm not going to lie when I say I wanted to be dead more than ever during that time in my life. But when I got hope again when I found he was alive, I didn't think I would ever need anything else ever again... but then I met you and I... of course I loved you, but love doesn't have to be something physical and romantic, and the feelings I had for you were amazing, and like I said, I wanted it, but I didn't think you wanted it since you said you weren't trying to be my boyfriend or anything... and yes, I loved you and always wanted to be by your side, but still I didn't need anything romantic so long as I could still be with you, even if it was just friends..." She sighed. Ruby felt like she was going into too much detail and talking too much, and though she felt it was necessary, she didn't want to bore or confuse him. "How should I put this simply...? Why would I ever need romance or a boyfriend or something like that if I had someone like you in my life?"
She would be silent, quietly letting the peacefulness settle between the two of them. Never had she thought Musashi felt for her like that, and she couldn't express what happiness it brought her to know the truth and finally say all of those things on her mind. Ruby felt a little embarrassed that he partially thought she didn't like him because she related him to her brother all the time, and sure she probably could have done things to differentiate him from her family member... but she didn't know what other example to give than that. It wasn't something Musashi would be able to understand right away, but her love for her brother ran so deep and passionately that upon coming to the school, the mere mentioning of him being there and alright was enough to make her turn to tears of joy. She honestly felt that with him there would be no need for anyone else, and though she was perfectly content with the way things had been, she couldn't even comprehend the joy and feelings she had now. It was far greater than anything she'd ever experienced before in her life, and that was far from an exaggeration.
The girl would blush slightly when he gently held the small of her back and pulled her gently closer to him. She would give a content smile and rest her head on his chest, lightly wrapping her arms around him in an embrace. She giggled lightly when he said he thought both of her eyes were beautiful, and she couldn't help but to smile. Of course, she still had to get used to them, considering how much suffering they'd caused her in her life, but she was still glad to know that he didn't mind them in the least. "Alright..." she'd say quietly at his request. "I honestly love spending time with you anyway... I'd be more than happy to stay with you for the rest of the day... I love you, Musashi." She'd be oblivious to the things he might have been meaning behind his words, as she was, still, Ruby... but she knew that she always wanted to be with him and spending time with him, knowing he wanted her to be there as badly as she did, gave her a sort of joy she didn't think she'd ever be able to experience in her life... and it was better than anything she'd ever imagined.

If Musashi was as sensitive as most guys emotionally he probably would have started breaking down right now. He never thought that at this age that he would find someone as amazing as Ruby. He didn't even think he would ever achieve something as huge as a love interest. Hell, he never even thought he could get a girl to like him. He was just too different. He thought that the contradiction that his look gave apposed to his attitude would ruin that for him. He looked like one of those cool and laid back kids, which he was at times. But for the most part when you got to know him you'd learn that he was completely different. Perhaps that was one of the reasons he wanted to embrace the look of his father.
Not only did he want the strength that his father possessed, but he wanted to the respect factor, and lastly he wanted someone to actually be attracted to him. Without having to change any part of his core personality. The Hattori listened carefully as she begin to explain that she used the comparison to her brother to merely express how amazing she thought he was. Not that she saw him as a brother. He felt there was no real way for him to know that with the encounters they had, but then again he lacked the kind of experience needed to see stuff like that. Musashi thought back to the time he drove her home and the hug that she gave him before she left the car to go inside. That feeling stuck with him for awhile, and it wasn't until he felt like she was brushing him off romantically that he decided to let that feeling go.
He didn't know if it was her tomboyish personality that convinced him that she didn't like him, or if it was her lack of physical affection, something that he had longed for quite some time. However, he could never see Ruby as the type to do that, and being a guy and all it was hard to believe someone like that could really like you. Now he had an idea of all the things that was going through her mind whenever they were with each other. Musashi could feel his body relax as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his chest. He was no doubt he was in love with this girl. At this point there was no denying it. He always felt like he would give anything for her, and now he knew why. And the best part about this feeling was that before all this they got to establish a true friendship between the two of them.
Something that was important when you gained these kind of feelings for someone. She had accepted everything about him, and he had accepted everything about her. Despite the fact that he thought she was never going to want to be with him the Hattori's feelings for her always remained the same. The same could also be said about her since she also thought that he only wanted to just be friends with her. The Hattori smiled as she accepted his invitation to stay with him for the remainder of the day, but something told him that maybe there was still a misunderstanding gap between the two of them. "I don't think you understand.." The Hattori spoke softly, pausing briefly for a moment before speaking once more to her. "I don't want you to leave me at all today..." His body begin to heat up at the thought of what she might say to him.
"I want you to spend the entire day..... And night with me... I want to become closer to you than I ever have with anyone in my entire life.... I just want the next twenty four hours to be about nothing but us, and our love for each other ya' know." He'd say to her in a soft and loving tone. Hopefully she didn't get the wrong idea about everything that he was staying. He just really wanted to have an entire day where he could feel just like the way he was feeling right now. He knew that at some point it would have to fade once they entered the world called life with everyone in it, but right now, or today it did not have to be. |

Ruby blushed, looking up at him. "W-wait... you don't mean... like... we're not going to do anything, right? I mean... I wouldn't mind spending the whole day and even night with you but... what do you mean by 'get to know me better than anyone else'?" She asked, used to the extremely old fashioned term of what "knowing" someone meant. As in, he "knew" his wife, etc. etc.
"I don't really feel comfortable doing that with anyone yet," she'd mumble quietly. "But I mean... if you don't try to take advantage of me or something like that, I'd be more than happy to spend the whole day with you as well. I mean... I'd like to get to know you really well, too... just... not in that way..." she'd say quietly, a bit embarrassed. She was blushing up a storm as she jumped to the conclusion on what he meant by that, and quickly said, "I-I mean--I really do love you, don't get me wrong I do--but something like that is something I'd only want my husband to have the privilege to do, you know?" She was really hoping he would understand what she meant by that, she really, truly did love him but she didn't feel comfortable with the idea, and there were even reasons she couldn't understand at this moment that made her feel even more strongly about that particular belief.
Musashi really was a good person, she knew that, so she didn't at all think he would try to take advantage of her in "that" sort of way, but she knew that if there was even a chance, she'd have to put up her boundaries and let him know that she wasn't alright with it. Of course... the matter of the situation was really just that Ruby had jumped to a wrong conclusion and took it the wrong way... but, it was good she was at least setting things straight, wasn't it?

And just like that, the warm and tender sensation that was coursing through the veins of the Hattori went cold. For a moment he wondered what would be the appropriate approach to take in a situation like this. He just wanted to spend the entire day with her. He was thinking more along the lines of enjoying nature since they was already out here. Perhaps they could talk more and get to know more about each other. Possibly showing one another some affection along the way on the lines of holding one another and occasional kissing. And if she decided she wanted to stay the rest of the night with him he would just simply rent a hotel for the night and they could watch movies and have more personal conversations about each other.
The last thing that would ever come to his mind was something as over the top as sex. That was something that he himself had ever really thought of since he never really had a girlfriend before. Plus he was too busy with other things to worry about such things. But he understood why she might think of that. But then again he couldn't because once again that was something he knew nothing about. He was shocked to even see that was something that she actually thought about at some point in her life. He thought she was the last person to ever think about such things. Hell, when he took her out on a date she didn't even seem to understand the concept of having a boyfriend and now she was talking about sex. Which technically wasn't a bad thing. At least he knew now that he she had a different level of affection. she was just saving herself for the right person and there was nothing wrong with that.
"Wow... I didn't even knew you thought about such things Ruby." The Hattori spoke scratching his head. "Ummmm,I wasn't thinking about it in that way though... I just really wanted to spend the whole day with you... I mean I may have thought of maybe holding you, or even kissing you again, but I would never take advantage of you in that kind of way.... And I think its beautiful that you would save yourself for someone as important as your future husband." He wanted to continue to talk, but he really didn't know what to say from here. He was kind of afraid to say or do anything because he didn't want her to take it the wrong way. Perhaps it was best if he let her make the first move from now on until he felt comfortable again. |

When Musashi spoke Ruby instantly regretted asking what he meant. Her face grew bright red from sheer embarrassment, and she gave a slight nod. "I-I'm sorry for assuming, I didn't think you were a pervert or anything, I just wanted to make sure you weren't getting any ideas... and I don't really think about those things unless the topic was brought up, really..." She more or less mumbled the last part. She'd give a small, awkward laugh and say, "Well... uh... anyway, yeah, I wouldn't mind spending the night with you at all!" Ruby still felt horribly awkward and somewhat ashamed that she even brought the subject up, really... but at least she was able to move the topic along and hope that she didn't cause too much awkwardness...

"Don't worry about it."
He'd say taking a step back away from her before attempt to talk away, but not before grabbing a hold of her left hand with his right. He was sure that was a pretty awkward moment from the both of them and he wanted to get past that. "How about we venture around the forest for awhile? You cant start by telling me your real name." He'd say looking back at her with a smile on his face. He always assumed that Ruby was her real name, but something told him that it wasn't. So he would just front like he knew that wasn't her real name and would simply wait to see how she would respond to it.
The mind of the Hattori was in complete bliss, especially since now he had someone he could go to to talk about anything. Plus he had someone he could share his affectionate feelings for without having to worry about much at all because she accepted that about him. Her loved doing things like holding her hands. Even when he felt like she didn't like him in that way he did. There was just something about being close to her, or making contact with that just made him feel so alive. Maybe because it was a feeling he wanted to experience for so long, but never thought it was possible.
He wanted to the whole day to be as passionate as the moment they had minutes ago. He knew that such a goal would require some bold and difficult moves, but he wanted to try anyways. This was going to be one of the few days they would have together where they would be able to be themselves around each other. He knew that he especially that she wasn't going to be comfortable with public displaying of affection around others. The least he could do was sort of build on that so that when they were around others they wouldn't feel the need t hide there love for one another. |

Ruby gave a nervous laugh, glad that he was able to change the topic but still feeling a little embarrassed about it all. "Sure! I like nature anyway, and forests are pretty nice," she'd say, taking hold of his hand with a smile. However, her expression would drop slightly when he asked the next question, and she frowned a little. "I uh... I actually don't know," she admitted truthfully. "Ruby's the only name I really remember, but it's something that my brother came up with so... I know it's not my 'real' name but... I really can't remember being called anything else," she'd say.
She felt kind of embarrassed that she didn't know her real name, it wasn't something post people had a problem with... Most people were given a name by their parents and it stayed that way forever. Most people had a real name and sometimes a nickname that a friend would give them, but most people didn't have a real name and only go by their nickname because they couldn't remember what their real name was in the first place. She felt it was odd, and it was just another thing she felt that made her seem... unusual. But she really couldn't help it. "Now that I think about it..." she'd mutter. "I don't think I know Jet's real name, either. I called him Jet a lot and I'm pretty sure I liked it more than his real name, but... I really can't think back to what his name actually was..."
The girl would pause a moment, trying to think about it, but it was a blank space. She didn't know why she couldn't remember it, but it was starting to bug her now. She'd shrug it off, giving a small laugh before saying, "I guess that's pretty odd, huh? But, I suppose Ruby's really the only name I've really known. It's probably better than my real name anyway, huh?"

"Then I guess its a good thing he gave you a beautiful name like Ruby."
He'd say looking back at her with a smile on his face. Everything about today was going perfectly for him, and for the first time in a long time he felt like he could finally relax. For the longest he had so many things running through his mind like, when his brother was going to come back, or what he was going to do to keep his gang busy in the meantime, not to mention his confusing feelings for his roommate. Now he didn't have to worry about anything, or anyone because being with her made him feel sure about everything, because the only thing he had to focus on was her. The touch of her soft hands continued to keep his heart pounding and his mind flowing.
For a moment there would be silence between the two of them as he reflected back to earlier when they had kissed. It was the first time he had ever kissed someone in his entire life. He always felt like he was going to be extremely nervous and worried about messing up, but kissing someone you had real feelings for was easy. Everything came naturally, almost as if it was meant to happen. He reflected on the warmth of her body as it touched his, and the amount of passion that he could feel when his lips pressed against her soft and gentle lips. His face being to turn red at the thought of doing all of that with her. I mean how could he not? It was his first time doing it, and it was with someone he cared about.
No, with someone he loved deeply. Just thinking about it made him want to explode with emotions again, but this time he wouldn't have to worry about how she would react. "You like climbing things right?" He'd say looking back to her as he gently pulled her closer toward him before letting her hand go. For a moment he wanted to let her mind wonder. He wanted her to think about the many things that he might say, or do at this very moment. "How about climbing this." he'd say with a grin on his face as he bent down toward the ground, his body scooting up underneath her arms before picking her up from off the ground. "Hmmm, well I guess this really isn't climbing, but you are off the ground so it could technically be the same thing."
He'd say teasing her. Truthfully he just wanted to create an excuse that would allow him to be physically close to her. He loved the feeling of having her wrap her arms around him and the feeling of her body being pressed up against his. Not to mention he got a better view of her beautiful face, and her gorgeous ruby colored eye. He hoped that she wouldn't freak out or reject his feelings. He knew that most females didn't like being picked up at all. At least that was the case for a certain someone that he knew. "I just want to borrow your independence for a moment and carry you through nature. I hope that isn't an issue... I like being close to you." |

"I guess," Ruby said with a small giggle. She was glad to say the least that he didn't seem to make a big deal out of her remembering or not. She certainly thought it was weird, after all... but then again... Musashi was... different. When he smiled at her she'd smile back, a fuzzy feeling welling up from the inside of her. Of course, she always loved to see him smile, but now... it just made her feel even happier than it did before, and she didn't really know why. Of course, it was most likely due to the fact they'd confessed their feelings for one another and now there was nothing she felt she had to hold back from him... and because of this even little things he did like smiling at her seemed so much more... special now than it did ever before...
She would stop a moment when he asked if she liked climbing things, and she gave a slight nod, waiting for him to continue. Did he want a climbing competition to see who could get to the top of the trees first? She would look up at the trees surrounding them, thinking, "They're pretty tall, but I know I could scale them easily without too much trouble." Her thoughts were interrupted when Musashi suddenly picked her up, a grin on his face. She'd give a small squeak from surprise and cling to him quickly, looking at him.
The raven-haired boy would quickly explain himself, and Ruby would give a slow nod. "O-okay, if you really want to..." she said quietly, a bit embarrassed. "I'm probably a little heavy, and I can walk so if you get tired and want to put me down you're more than welcome to," she said, pretty unused to the feeling. Of course, there were many times in her childhood when her brother would pick her up and carry her--but it was usually because she was broken and bleeding and had a hard time moving, herself... of course, there was the occasional time he'd be goofing off with her and would just pick her up for fun or to show off to her how "strong" he was. Of course though, this was entirely different.
She certainly didn't get this feeling when her brother was carrying her, and it had been so long ago anyway...
Right now it was a very different feeling... she was being held in the arms of the one she loved, and though she really didn't enjoy the feeling of being powerless or no in control of what was happening... she didn't mind it so much right now. She didn't feel like she was being a damsel in distress and a prince or hero of sorts was rescuing her, it was much simpler than that, and she liked it a lot more. Musashi was simply carrying her, holding her close to him, and she wasn't entirely used to the feeling... but it didn't feel bad at all.
A smile would make its way to her face, and she'd lightly hug onto him, closing her eyes to enjoy the moment. She'd open them again and lazily rest her head against Musashi, giving a small sigh and then giggling a little.

"You shouldn't say such a thing, your not heavy at all. You are in very good shape, so your heavier than the average woman, but thats because yours stronger than all of them as well. More muscle equal more mass. Plus, I'm pretty strong myself, and holding you close to me like this only makes me feel stronger."
He'd say to her as he continued to travel through the forest. Today was so amazing. He couldn't help replaying everything that had ever happened between them over and over in his head. He remembered when he first saw her on the rooftop. He was even worried for her then. Maybe that was a sign that he happened to miss out on when he first met her. He thought that the bulk of there friendship was going to revolve around finding her brother. Which wasn't a problem for him at all, especially if that meant she wasn't looking over tall rooftops, but after spending some personal time with her it started to become something more. And as difficult as it was for him to describe he wanted her to be by his side.
She seemed like she lacked so much self confidence and he hated that. She was beautiful, so beautiful. And she's smart, and probably the greatest swordsman he had ever met in his life. Even convincing him to become one. He wanted to help her grow, and in return he wanted her to help him grow as a person as well. Hell, she already has since hes been around her. He never thought that he would ever be able to talk to girls the way that he has been able to with Ruby, but now talking to girls for him is a no brainer. And while his game still may not be up to par with most guys, it wouldn't even matter because he knew that he has her. He doesn't need them.
"God your so beautiful Ruby."
He'd say to her as he watched happily as she got comfortable in his arms. He knew that what he was doing was a big deal. She was an independent girl, and he hadn't come across too many that would allow a guy to do this. Some of them wouldn't even allow themselves to be helped at all, even if there life was on the line. "I love you so much.... I promise to give everything I have to make you happy." He'd say blushing and looking ahead as he continued to walk through the beautiful forest. The Hattori couldn't deny how good it felt to finally be able to say those words to her. Before he would never even acknowledge that he even had those feelings, but now he could say it to her whenever he wanted.
"Your the best thing that's ever happened to me.... And every time I see you smile I know I have to be the luckiest guy in the world." He'd say as he continued to look down at her beautiful face. "So what would you like to do with me for the rest of the day now that we have each others complete attention?" He'd say to her placing a soft kiss onto her forehead. |

Ruby would give a small laugh at what Musashi said. "Well, alright," she'd say, smiling a bit. She'd simply rest her head against him as she gently held onto him, and she was left to her thoughts for a while. She honestly never thought that this would ever happen, it had always come off in her mind as being impossible. She'd felt privileged to have been allowed to be Musashi's friend and be by his side, and she never thought that she'd ever get to be allowed to be in this sort of relationship with him.
When he yet again called her beautiful, Ruby would blush and giggle a little. "You're not half bad yourself, soldier," she'd say teasingly with a grin. Of course, Ruby found him to be extremely attractive, but she was pretty sure he already knew he was good-looking. There was quite a lot of differences from Musashi and her brother, which Ruby was very glad about since it would have made it terribly awkward if he was an exact replica of him (she was glad Musashi was good and brave and nice and sweet like her brother, but she also cherished his many differences)... but she knew one of their biggest differences was their physical appearance. She found Musashi to be much more attractive than her brother, and though she didn't really know what Jet looked like now, she knew him well enough to know he was probably still quite slender and not nearly as strong as her leader/romantic companion. He probably still had his hair in that silly pony tail, and not that she personally cared, but she knew her brother was extremely self-conscious about his scar-infested body. Granted, she had many, many scars on her body as well, but she knew that Jet had far more than her for reasons she was sad to admit... She admired how confident Musashi was in himself, and in others as well.
"I'm just kidding," she'd say lightly, fiddling with Musashi's raven-colored hair. "You're actually very handsome, and I probably haven't told you that before, but it's true." She admired more than anything, though, the way he was as a person. From the moment they'd met he was instantly caring for her, and so she was drawn to that kindness immediately, even though she didn't have any particular feelings for him at the time. Though the second time they'd met, and he'd talked so much and made her aware of so many things about him, she couldn't help but to fall in love with his personality. It seemed like most girls were attracted to looks, or even strength, but really the things that touched her heart the most was the small acts of kindness. Even when they didn't know each other's names, he'd shown concern for a complete stranger, who, for all he knew, could have been some heartless assassin. Of course, she wasn't an assassin, but still she was pretty shocked that he'd pulled her off the edge of the roof even though he really knew nothing about her. Even if she'd never ended up being his friend, or they never got together and never bonded and never got to be where they were now... just knowing that people like him even existed was enough to make her feel at least a little more content to be in the same world.
She couldn't help but to blush when he drew her from her thoughts, saying, "I love you so much.... I promise to give everything I have to make you happy." Her heart skipped a beat and she lightly shook her head, "You don't have to do anything of the sort. I don't think you could even understand just how happy being with you makes me... really just... just don't ever forget about me, and that's all I care about. Really, just getting to see you and knowing that you're happy is enough. I genuinely don't need or even desire anything more than that." Her words were true, and she honestly couldn't even think about wanting anything else or anything more than she already had. As crazy as it seemed, she genuinely only wished to be by his side and for him to care about her, which he already was and did.
The girl would blush when he kissed her forehead and made a few more statements that could only make her heart flutter. "I-I really don't know," she said. She'd hum lightly and then ask, "Do you think you could tell me more about your family, I guess? I remember what you told me about your brother... that he seems a little of-standish and cold at times, but he's actually got a big heart. And your father was an expert swordsman and that apparently you look like him, and he was very strong and powerful... and you've told me a little bit about your mother too, but..." she'd shrug, giving a small laugh. "I don't know, I guess I just want to hear more. Unless you want to talk about something else, I really don't mind."

"That's good to here Ruby. I feel like life is going to be so much easier for me from now on now that I have you in my life.... Well you technically never left me... I mean... You know what I mean."
The Hattori spoke as his face begin to turn red as they continued to walk through the forest. It felt so good to see how well the day was going, only to know that it was only going to get better as the day went on. He never thought he'd ever meet someone as loving and reliable as her. One moment she was one of his top priorities, now she was on even playing field with his brother for how important she was to him just like that. He didn't know if it was crazy of him to feel that way, but it was a feeling that he had no control over. She just meant so much to him, especially now that they both had acknowledge there true feelings to one another.
Musashi listened as she begin to tell him what she remembered about his family, while asking him to tell her more about them. Normally he would try to beat around the bush during this kind of conversation. He felt like no one was worthy of his history, and that no one was truly worthy of getting to know anything personal about him. He didn't want anyone to have any emotional leverage on him, but she was different. Something told him that he could trust her despite all odds. He knew that if his brother were here that he would probably feel differently toward his decision to open up to her. Then again there was no telling how much different his brother would be once he got back to New York.
After all going back to Japan definitely changed him, but something told him that it was for the better. "No.... I wouldn't mind telling you at all actually... I've been dying to open up to someone about this, and now I do have someone I feel like I can trust with all this." He'd say tilting his head downward and placing another soft kiss on the forehead of Ruby. "When me and my brother were growing up my dad was extremely hard on us about training to fight. Me and my brother never really knew why, and it would be a few years before me and him ever found out." He'd say pausing for a moment as he begin to stare off into the sky before he continue telling Ruby his life story.
"We never went to any kind of public schooling, private schooling, or any type of place that had schooling involving other kids. We were home schooled at home by our loving mother. It was our fathers way of getting more time to spend with us to train in the arts of Ninjutsu. Something my brother was against because he had a vendetta with my dad, but that only existed because of how alike they were. But that's not really apart of my origins though I guess." He'd say chuckling at the comment he had just made in regard to his brother. "Anyways, we worked extremely hard with my dad when we were kids. And whenever we had some free time, or we 'made' some free time we were out in the streets getting into trouble. Me, Ty, and.... Yukine... But you don't know what okay?"
He'd say to her knowing that he revealed something about his past that not many people in the school knew. "But we thought that he had died, but that comes later. Once we got older we over heard a few arguments between my mom and dad about him being gone all the time. And that's when one of my dad best friends reveal to us that our dad was apart of the notorious China gang called the Triads. Me and my brother never understood why he was apart of that group because he was Japanese, but it never mattered because it was true. He was a member of the Triads. Not to mention a high ranking member."
Musashi took another paused as he tilted his head down toward the woman he loved. He couldn't but think about how beautiful she was, and how being able to hold her in his arms made him feel like the most powerful man ever. Being with her made him want to be strong. Hell, being with him made him stronger period. "Another part to the story I have neglected to mention is my strong connection to my mother. My dad always hated that I consulted to my mother for everything, saying that because I was a mothers boy that it made me weak and that was the reason why I would never be able to beat Ty. And for a long time I believe that, but my mother continued to tell we otherwise."
"Even going as far as to say that Father wouldn't be where he was today without her, and that she was apart of the reason why he was so strong, and that he was too prideful to admit it." The Hattori stopped walking as he appeared in front of a familiar and rare Red wood tree that lurked in the middle of the forest. It was huge. As tall as any Red wood tree could be. He could only assume that it was personally planted by someone decades ago and that was how it got here. "Mind if we sit here in front of this rare and beautiful tree Ruby?" He' ask her carefully placing her to the ground so that she could be on her feet. The Hattori flipped his cloak upward before turning his back toward the tree and carefully placing himself perfectly underneath it. Patting down next to him so that the beauty standing in front of him would sit down next to him. Preferably close if she'd like it that way, but it wouldn't matter as long as she sat with him.
"From there on out I started working even harder. Doing everything that I possibly could to impress my dads. And in some ways it worked, but in other ways it didn't. It wasn't until my rebellious brother started training in the art of Jeet Kune Do that my father starting taking notice of me and my will to continue the tradition of mastering the art of Ninjutsu. From there life seemed to be getting better for me, but there were sad days like the day we learned that Yukines home got burned down by the Triads without any of us knowing. Including my dad who was on leave from the group so that he could spend more time with my mom and my brother and I. I was devastated, but my brother played it off as if he wasn't even important, but my mom just told me that was my brothers way of coping with stuff. My father was the same apparently."
He'd say shrugging his shoulders as he continued to talk some more about his past. "At some point my father went out on a dangerous mission with the Triads and was killed. My mother was extremely upset and devastated, but she didn't want to lose herself in the process because of how it would affect us. So my dads friend from the Triad help us move back to America were my mother was from. New York to be more specific to live with her family. And even here we were homed school. It wasn't until we got to the age to be highschoolers that I decided I wanted to go to public school to make a name for myself as a person. My brother scolded me for being weak and that going to public school wouldn't make me any stronger than I already was."
He'd say looking up into the sky and sighing. "For the longest he was always the stronger of the two, but just this once. Just this once I got tired of being in his shadows. My mom accepted the showdown between the two of us as my father would have allowed and I finally won. Shocking my brother and causing him to move out stay with our uncle. He went to another public high school for awhile before coming to 552 where I was at..... And I think that's a good start for how crazy my life is.. I'm sure I missed out on some stuff, but that's more than I've ever told anyone.." He'd say looking over to Ruby with a sincere smile on his face. "Now you have all of me." He'd say reaching over to grab her hand to hold. |

Ruby nodded, taking in his words as though they were precious gemstones that needed to be kept, sacred for their beauty, and precious for their secrecy. She listened intently, nodding specifically at what he said about getting into the street fights with his brother and Yukine. Once when she'd been talking to Yukine on a more personal level, he mentioned that to her, telling her how he was childhood friends with Musashi and that they used to get involved in fights on the streets and got into all sorts of trouble. The girl remembered how she couldn't help but to be slightly jealous, thinking about how she thought Yukine was pretty lucky to have been friends with Musashi for so long of a time.
Still, she had no idea his history had so much more to it. Of course, she knew, as she knew everyone had detailed histories even if those histories were mainly filled with happy memories and weren't anything "interesting". Of course, Ruby found interest in even little things that others might have considered "boring" or "plain" and "simple". She couldn't help it, after all. Still, despite how she knew everyone had their own story to tell, and she knew a little about Musashi's history, she didn't know it quite to this extent. She knew he'd gotten into trouble on the streets, and that his father was an expert swordsman... she knew that he had a kind mother, and his brother seemed a little rough around the edges...
But as the boy continued to relay his history to her, she couldn't help but to be extremely interested in everything he had to say. The fact that his father was a part of a Chinese gang, and was very strong and powerful gave her a whole new impression on what he was like, and she could understand why he was so strict on his sons. All of the pieces started to line up...
She would shake her head, saying, "No, I don't mind." Ruby would stand on her own two feet before taking a seat next to him, leaning gently against the strong bark of the redwood tree. She continued to listen to him as he relayed his story, but her eyes widened slightly when he talked about how he thought Yukine had died in a fire...
The thought tugged at her mind, and she couldn't help but to turn her head slightly to hide her watering eyes. He continued to talk about how his father was then killed, and she knew that he had been out of the equation of their family... but she still found it sad that he'd died, especially since it was for the gang that had nearly killed Yukine...
Musashi's brother dealt with his pain by hiding his emotions, and for Ruby... she really had no idea that all of those things had happened to Musashi, and that he'd been exposed to them. She was glad that, in the end, he turned up at PHS 552, and she knew that his story was probably a lot more bright and hopeful than her own... but still, she couldn't help but to feel his pain... even if he acted strong and didn't seem to be affected by it too badly now.
She would hold his hand, looking down at their hands when she folded her fingers with his, giving a small smile despite the tear that threatened to fall from her eyes. "You know..." she'd say in a soft voice, "we're a lot more alike than I thought. I knew you probably had it rough, but still, I didn't know we had so much in common. How funny..." She would take a moment, assessing it. "Then again, I suppose we're still quite different, but that couldn't be helped, and I'm honestly glad."
