Sometimes... Revenge is sweeter than... Forgiveness... But every so often... We must all learn to... Love the Loveless...
It's finally the new year and the Sohma family is bouncing. So far it's the same as every other new year for the zodiac. Everyone makes plans to get together once again. The selected person gets ready to dance and the Cat prepares for another lonely year.
This year it's the beloved Rat's turn to dance. As it is the year of the Rat once again! But this year it's a little different... The god of the family wants to dance with her precious zodiac member this year. Every year she sits back and it looks like so much fun. So, this year she makes the plans so she is part of the dance. It especially makes her happy that it is the rat she will be dancing with.
They have a very bad, wounded history though. Which is why the rat hates the god more than anyone in the world and doesn't want to be anywhere near the woman who made his life a living hell. As children she secluded the rat and abused him till he finally left the Sohma main estate to live with the motherly horse who took him in with open arms.
Now the strings of their lives are crossing and somewhere, a puppet master or two is about to utterly change their lives for good and worst.

We understand the basics, which is the most in important. Here's a few more that I feel need to be put here... No cyber. P-G14 (Nothing below the waist) Lots of interesting drama! Lots of action. Romance every so often~ And that's pretty much it c:
☁"Princess, it's time." The monotone voice of the dragon swept through the female's room. Her deep blue orbs narrowing and glaring over at him before her face broke into a taunting grin. It was show time and Ryokou was wearing her favorite kimono. Elegant, precise red designs were sown into the soft, silky fabric. Though, it was three times too big for her petite frame and the only thing it fit decently on her was her chest. It fell off of her boney, pale shoulders and dropped around her arms right above her point, dangerous elbows. The bottom of it fanned around her body when she sat, stood and walked.
Slowly, she stood up. Her black hair was french braided starting at the front of her head, going to the back and ending up falling over her right shoulder. The head of the family linked arms with her private doctor that ended up escorting her out to large, pillow like seat for greeting her family as they arrived. It was in the first place you would see when you walked through the long, sliding doors. So, only moments later the first guest arrived and it didn't surprised her who it was. The ox came in with a very enthusiastic rabbit pulling him along. The little light brown haired girl jumped on her in a hug and then was pulled of by the much more tame ox who lightly wrapped his free arm around the princess's shoulder. The tiger then followed and the rooster accompanied by the monkey came moments after. Soon, almost every single member of her family had arrived.
Deep down, she knew that they all came and so kindly greeted her in fear. It made the hand she laid her head on clench into a fist. The dragon noticed and started rubbing the young girl's back to help her calm down. That was probably her favorite thing ever. She loved it when the dragon rubbed and scratched her back. If anyone else tried though, she was liable to kill them. She hated anyone else touching the most sensitive part of her fragile body. Besides her heart that was barely stronger. The same heart that broke every single day of her life. Whether it be from none of her family visiting her besides the doctor or because her temper caused her to hurt another member and chase them off. She knew it was only time before the rabbit stopped being so friendly and realized how cruel of a being she was and left her all alone too. Just like the rest of them had.
Ryokou perked up to look around the room. She was ready for the dance this year. She had special plans for it and the dragon was going to help her set them in motion. So she was ready for the loving horse and her worst enemy, next to the cat, to arrive. "Kazu needs to hurry and get here~" Her voiced cooed to the air but wanting a response from the man behind her that was bringing her comfort. "Be patient, he will be. I know you're excited." Was the dragon's response. She usually would've been beyond mad but she really didn't pay attention that much so the words didn't really sink in. Instead, Ryokou start staring holes into the door, just awaiting to see that certain figure of that certain person walk through it. Then, she would spend time watching the clock tick till the time of the dance....
"Damn it, why do I have to do this again? Why the Hell did I let you persuade me into coming back to this godforsaken Hell hole?!" Was the first thing he said when approaching the door to the main house, he was taking his sweet time too. The horse just smiled at him with a sad look on her face, she knew that Kazu hated coming here every New Years, it only brought him back bad memories of his childhood. Kazuhiko narrowed his eyes at the door as he stood in front of it, not touching it, not wanting it to open. He brought his cigarette to his mouth and inhaled deeply, glaring at the door with his cold, deadly blue eyes that have hardened over many years away from the Sohma House. "It's only for a few days Kazu, please try to remain calm and be on your best behavior.." She said with a sad smile, hoping that Kazu would at least agree this one time. The past New Years celebrations didn't end very well, no, they didn't begin very good. As soon as Kazu saw Lady Ryokou, his temper flared and he retaliated with a very hostile reaction, making Lady Ryokou retaliate back. Which only made matters worse, since celebrations didn't get over until the third day in the new year. These three days would be hell.. If not for everyone having to listen to their bickering and hostile aura's every time they see each other, then for both of them. The older Ryokou got, the weaker she got and it showed in her appearance. The older Kazuhiko got, the more good looking and harsher he got with his words and personality. The demons of the past haunt him every night, the horse could only wish that the feud between them would stop.. So perhaps there would be some peace in Kazu's life, and some peace before Ryokou took her last breath.
Kazuhiko tossed his cigarette in the opposite direction of the door, feeling a cold stare on the other side. He didn't want to go in there.. He sighed softly and fixed his black pants, straightened his white undershirt and then his black jacket, the ran a hand through his silvery hair, his blue eyes narrowed as he prepared himself to knock that annoying little twerp out. That girl caused his world to turn upside down, he couldn't even live properly. Every night he'd have nightmares, he couldn't look at another woman without thinking they might come after him with a butcher knife and stab him right in the stomach.. Like last time.. He groaned inwardly, then looked at the horse, his dazzling blue eyes sparkling at her.."Fine. But you need to do something for me.. I want you to go in first and cut off her vision of me while I sneak by and go into the dressing room, I don't want to have more conversation with that thing in there than I have to. At least until after the dance.. Please, you owe me big time for tricking me.." He whispered to her, the horse sighed softly, then nodded her head. It was the least she could do. She walked up before Kazu, him sticking close behind her, making sure he wouldn't be seen by that pale psychopath.
She opened the door and looked at Ryokou, then smiled warmly to the young God. "Hello there Lady Ryokou, how are you feeling lately?" She asked in a loving tone, making sure all eyes were on her as Kazu stealthily snuck away from the scene, making his way quickly and quietly to the back of the main house so that the people could dress him up. He hated New Years, three days around this family.. Three days.. With the one woman he hates with a burning passion that could be felt even when someone was burning from volcano lava. He sat down in a barber chair as the Sohma women started preparing his make up, clothing, and hair things. They thought Kazu was a very beautiful individual, as did many women. They loved to play with his hair, year after year, they always said that Kazuhiko was the most beautiful zodiac member. Of course they'd never say it out loud, in fear of angering the God.

☁The head of the family sat there and sighed with impatience. It was getting close to time for the dance and the rat still hadn't shown up. Worry and anger boiled up inside her quickly. She felt like he was near for some reason. She kept staring at the door as people came to try to talk with her, just to be ignored. So, in the end they would converse with the dragon who was more focused on the entire family. Unlike Ryokou who was only focused on one member in particular. The sound of others talking drown up the noise of talking from outside the door. Though, in all honesty she would've had a hard time hearing the voices even without all the people. Besides always being sick as a dog, she was very slowly going deaf. She was twenty five percent deaf in her left ear. That's why the dragon preferred to stay on her right side instead. It was hearing to talk to her without frustrating her. The man already had enough scars from her as it was. Every time she got mad at something (that wasn't a member of her family) she took it out on him. Mainly, she loved to throw things in his direction when that happened.
Soon, the long door slide open and there stood the horse. The princess's eyes grew wide and she perked up as the motherly woman walked over to her. "Hello there Lady Ryokou, how are you feeling lately?" As much as the girl appreciated her concern, she kept trying to look around her to see Kazuhiko. She looked up at her in curiosity. "Fine. Been a little light headed. Where's Kazu?" She spoke the sentence rather quickly. The horse was the one person she found it hard to get mad at and always found it in her black hole of a heart to return the kindness in very little ways. Such as what she just did. Answered her question then spit out her own, even if it wasn't concerning the horse herself but her house mate. "I promise if that rat ditched..." Her eye slightly twitched at the thought. He wouldn't dare though, especially on his year to dance. Plus, Ryokou couldn't see the horse letting the rat get away with that, no matter how rebellious the boy was growing up to be.
Ryokou tried to patiently wait for an answer back from the horse but in the mere seconds, it was already starting to run low. To try to keep her temper down and not get exhausted was the pale skinned girl's plan for the evening. She didn't want anything to ruin her dance plans for tonight. Nothing would be able to stop her from dancing with the rat. She just prayed that it didn't wear her out too much. The dance is just supposed to be a nice, calm, formal one at the end of his crazy one. She couldn't do dances like that because she'd either break something or start suffocating more than likely. So, the dragon taught her how to dance a calmer one to end the much wilder one that Kazu would be preforming on his own. Even the thought of it got her excited and caused a grin to spread across her lips.

OutOfCare: Haha I know how that feels! And I promise my posts will get longer once things get going. C: ♥
The horse smiled sheepishly, it was hard for her to lie to anyone. It was in her nature to be motherly and kind and honest, so lying was hard for her. Yet, no one would expect her to lie, so she always got away with it when she had to. She remembered lying once or twice before to Lady Ryokou, just to protect Kazuhiko. "Oh, he's already in the dressing room, he snuck in through the rear entrance. My apologies Lady Ryokou, he did it without my knowledge." She gave the girl a regretful smile, which only made her story more believable. She didn't completely lie, just changed up the story a bit. She bowed respectively to her and handed the girl a small bento box, inside would be varieties of spicy sushi that she personally made herself. She remembered when she used to live in the Sohma house and Ryokou was a young sickly girl, the girl would always follow her to the kitchen just to get free snacks of spicy sushi. But the horse hadn't been around for a while, so she knew the girl wasn't getting her snack, so the horse made it a point to make the girl some spicy sushi before coming here tonight. The horse loved the young girl, even though people feared her. She's never been hit or tormented by Ryokou, even though other's have. She knew the girl's situation and knew that her being sick made the girl angry and unable to control her temper, which only made the horse feel some kind of motherly love toward the girl. "He will be out shortly, I apologize for not stopping him. He was having a bad day today, so he decided to be a bit rebellious" She knew the young girl wasn't stupid, Ryokou probably knew that on top of having a bad day, Kazu did not whatsoever want to come to back to this place. Ryokou of all people knew the deep hatred that Kazu harbored deep inside his heart and soul, which is why Kazu only came back when it was most necessary and when he was forced to be here. The horse still smiled to Ryokou, hoping she made the girl at least a little bit happier.
Kazuhiko was being poked and prodded and felt up by the Sohma women, he didn't care of course, he enjoyed women looking and admiring him. He knew he was good looking, it was just how it was. His blue eyes were lined with makeup and whatnot, making him look very alluring, He was dressed in beautiful robes that symbolized that it was his year, his hair was put up and he wore a matching hat that had many different assortments hanging from it. He looked like a God, majestic and beautiful. If he were a girl, no, even if he is a guy, he was still downright beautiful. The women all crowded around him and complimented his appearance, making sure not to touch him too much and make him transform. He nodded his head appreciatively and chuckled in a confident way as they complimented him, ya, he liked this kind of attention. He thanked them all formally, then watched them all leave so he could prepare himself the rest of the way. He remembered his first few dances on his years, but now that he was older.. It was different. He was a beautiful rebel, not many people have seen him since he left Sohma house a few years ago. His appearance had changed. People last saw him smiling and laughing, trying to hide the pain he felt deep inside his heart and soul. Now, he visibly showed it. He would dance with a calm face, he could play it off like he was happy, but after the dance.. The façade would wear off and people would see his true colors, he was an emotionless, cold b*****d. It was how the cookie crumbled now, he wasn't who he used to be anymore. Ryokou ruined his life and tonight, he would try to avoid her at all costs. If he couldn't, he would visibly show her how he ruined his life, even if it meant getting outcast by his family. Little did they know, him and the cat got along now. It even got to the point where they were so close, he laid in bed with her for a few nights. Ha!~ Wouldn't that really rock the boat with the God? He wondered if he should tell the sickly girl, it would really give her something to think about.
Ryokou thought it would be funny to lock them both up in a cabin for a few months, alone, with just each other. So f*ck ya they became close. He and her made hot passionate love for many nights, they became very close. Funny thing was, no one knew they were still close. They saw each other every night, just like tonight they will. He grinned slowly to himself, perhaps he should kiss the cat in front of the God, that would make his revenge even easier than he expected. Oh sweet revenge, it will be his, even if it kills the girl in question. "Bring it.. B*tch" He whispered softly as he looked himself in the mirror, of how he wished the cat were here right now.
{Oooh, so I decided to do some kind of cross over from our rat/cat Rp. So the cat and rat got really close and had a passionate time together as they grew closer since being locked up in a cabin for those few months alone. I think it'll give the story some spice haha. So bringing the cat back would be one drama-filled night. So perhaps the cat could wander in through the back before the dance and see Kazu, they could play around for a while haha. Them messing around instead of being angry at each other, I think it'll be fun.}

ρ я ι n c є s s Sohma
☁Ryokou's mouth went down in a frown. Her eyebrows knitted together, causing wrinkles on her forehead. Her excitement sunk from her heart and was replaced by anger. Her eyes fell. She didn't want to keep looking at the horse and hit her. She was the only person that was nice to her out of a pure heart and not out of fear. The bento box that was placed in her small lap made her really confused and her head slowly moved up again. Her long, frail fingers brushed the bento box as she let a smile form for the horse. "Thank you... And please try to keep a better eye on that brat, yes? He will get himself killed if he keeps this up." She told the horse with a more dangerous smile resting on her lips. Her left k-tooth, which probably shouldn't be as sharp as it was, poked out from her upper lip. Which was chapped and a pale pink color. No life rested in them or the skin under her eyes. Lack of sleep and sitting out in the cold did that to an unloved person.
The princess was well aware that the rat didn't want to see her. It just made everything so much better though. She knew she had made his life an absolute living hell when they were children. When she secluded him, abused him. Then, she remembered when she sent Kazu and Tsubaki, that accursed cat, up into the mountains to spend some quality time together. That was only a mere year or so ago but she wanted them to learn to get along. Just to save her a head ache and energy with having to keep beating the both of them for disgraceful behavior. When they came back, the air between them was thankfully not as hostile. She hasn't heard of any reckless behavior involving both of them together since then. It made her life about 98% more calm. It was a total relief.
Slowly, her skinny fingers opened the bento box. She hid the excitement and thankfulness for the tasty, spicy sushi that was inside. She missed it so much! "Thank you>" She told the horse and took a bite out of a piece of one of them. She hummed in delight and continued the pattern to pass the time, awaiting for the time she would just ruin the rat's night completely. She started laughing at the precious scene that was running through the her mind.
Tsubaki had gotten herself onto the main estate's grounds. She walked in the direction she thought the dressing room might be. She wanted to give Kazu good luck before he went out to dance. The time they spent in the mountains together, they grew rather close. She remembered planting things in the garden and she confessed everything she ever felt to them, then that night sleeping with him because she got scared of the thunder. The wind from it had echoed through the house like a ghost and he made her feel safe. In her eyes, Kazu looked much more childish at that time and the short year since then, as really become handsome.
She wouldn't lie that it made her jealous when women looked at him... Jealousy shot through her when she peaked into the dressing room window and all those women were fawning over him. Soon, they all left and the pink hair girl grinned, quietly climbing through the window and hugging the dressed up boy from behind. "Don't you just look so pretty." She teased with her cheek against his broad back. The cat wore her hair in a side pony tail. She had a simple, black dress on and of course, she didn't have make up on. She never wore it, hating it with a passion.
"Were you missing me yet, lovie?" Tsubaki cooed the words to the rat. The words she thought she would never speak, especially to the rat. Now look where they were now. From hating each other to promising they were in love with one another. Often at night, the cat thought of the rat and laughed at how far they had come. Thinking of Kazu never failed to put a smile on her face.
Every since they came back from the mountains, she gained weight. Going from 90 pounds to the right weight of 120. She looked much healthier and her skin was even tanned a little bit instead of being ghostly pale. Her eyes and hair even had more color and looked healthier and she seemed so much happier all the time. She owed it all to Ryokou in a way. If she hadn't sent to the mountains to learn to get along... Tsubaki would still be depressed and look disgusting.

OutOfCare: Not going to lie, I turned a bit pink when I read the passionate love part! But I like the way you think! C: Let's get this party started then, shall we? And I'll reply in a few hours because I'm going bowling with my friend to practice for a match, so bear with me. ^^♥
Kazuhiko grinned evenly when he felt arms wrapped around him from behind and felt such a lovely warmth around his body, then a majestic voice spoke out, complimenting him. He knew who it was, someone he was thinking about since he arrived here. Someone he so longed to see, even though it's only been twelve hours since he'd last seen her. Memories of them in the cabin started swimming through his mind once again, pure bliss and love. "Tsubaki" He called her name with a soft note in his voice, his voice had matured since last year. He was a grown man now, his personality had changed a lot since then. He remembered how much he hated being around Tsubaki the first few months they were there together, but as the time went on, he began to see the true beauty that the woman was capable of being. She started to look healthier and gain back her strength, only when she confessed to him, did he finally allow himself to drop the hatred he felt for her for many years growing up. She was a woman of beauty and intelligence, the time together alone only made his thoughts increase, making him want to be the one to bring her up instead of allowing people to bring her down. Now, whenever someone talked down to Tsubaki, he would threaten them and defend the woman he had fallen in love with. He loved to hear her voice, it was like music to his ears when she asked him if he'd missed her. Yes, yes he has.
He turned around and allowed her to fall into place against his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him. His beautiful robes consumed her small frame as he held her safely against his stronger frame, his hair had grown out, his body had become more masculine, he was a lot more manly and it showed. He took in her scent and just relished in the familiar feeling he felt every time he was near her, she was so much healthier. He'd taught her how to garden, how to cook, and he even made it a goal to make her smile every day. It was his goal in the cabin, and it was his goal now. He always tried his best to make her smile and quite frankly, it worked out well. His hands were pressed gently to her back, his long, beautiful fingers were sprawled out on her back. He loved the soft feeling of her skin, just thinking about it brought back so many memories. His hands slowly slid down her back, making sure to touch every inch of her back and shoulders before finally resting on her vivacious hips, which made him took in a sharp breath of raw bliss. He always cherished her looks, made her feel beautiful and treated her like a princess, he knew there was no one that could please this girl better than himself. He did love her, the strength of his love was deep and he would never ever do anything to hurt her. "I always miss you Tsubaki, even though it's been twelve hours since we last saw each other, right now.. This very moment, it feels like years and I just want to bask in your beauty.." Kind of corny, but it was leaking with emotion that he feels deep within his heart and soul. He was a very princey boy, but now he never looked at another woman the way he did to her. The promise he made at the cabin, she'd be the only one he would ever look at that was good enough to be his lover. He meant it to.
Kazuhiko looked her deep in the eyes with his bright blue one's, the makeup around his eyes only made his eyes brighter and more alluring to stare into. But the love he showed in his eyes was intense, it was hard to believe that they hated one another a long time ago. He laced his arms around her hips and pressed his hands firmly to the small of her back, then leaned in and slowly took his time making his lips lock with her plump, lush lips. His heart quickened it's beat and his whole body warmed up, his cheeks turned a soft shade of pink as he passed along his passionate feelings to her through their union at the mouth. He'd been dying to kiss her for a few hours now, he could never get enough. Their affair of love had been going on in secret for a year, but never once, did he ever look at another woman besides her with his eyes of passion. When he wasn't around her or near her, his temper would flare and would cause him to have a bad day. Just like today when they parted for twelve hours, he had a bad day and a sour temper. Now that she'd come to see him, his day was just beginning and his temper dissipated instantly. The rebellious rat of the zodiac was now tame, with this gorgeous cat that he'd sworn to love with his whole heart. Perhaps he could keep his temper in check now, he was so glad that she'd made an attempt to see him, he was set for the night and his dance would be fantastic.
{Haha, I hoped you would. Looks like my plan worked! Yesss! Alrighty, I'll be waiting for ya. not sure if I'll be on when you log back on, but I'll try my best. Have tons of fun and good luck!}

☁The princess doesn't have anything to say right now.
Tsubaki happily fell into Kazu's chest. It felt so natural for her body to be so close to his. Like the pieces to a puzzle or piece of chocolate melting together. She loved hearing the way he said her name, so soft and sweet. The cat smiled from ear to ear in pure bliss at the warmth that radiated off of this slender, yet muscular body. It would've been a Cheshire grin if she had the slightest bit of a hint of playful in her expression.
Back then, when they hated one another, his voice used to be filled with hatred and it broke her heart everyday. He used to not even call her by her name and would make it a point to lower her already negative self-esteem. The rat always made her feel like not eating or even coming out of her room. It would hurt to just look at him. But that one faithful day she just so happened to be in her innocent little mood. The mood the mountains always put her in. Then everything fell into place from there. They grew together and started the quick journey of falling love. Then, when they left the mountains they hid it for the sake of the princess not finding out. So that they could continue to always be together. Tsubaki dreamed of them running far, far away together and never looking back.
Tsubaki kissed Kazu back slowly, lovingly and carefully. She smiled and giggled a little bit before pulling back and looking him straight in the eyes. "Have you been a good boy today?" She teased the rebellious man that she loved. The cat had yet to realize the full effect she had on the rat. How she was the only thing that could calm him down and he was a sour puss till she came around. She often found herself thinking about him when he was away. Then, if she went more than a day without him, she started getting depressed again. Something about him just made her smile and for once, feel welcome in the Sohma family. She would never forget the first time they kissed. They had just been sitting on the couch, watching a movie. They had finally been able to tolerate being in the same room. They started talking and before she knew it, Kazu had his lips against hers and she was responding like she had been through this so many times before. It felt so, so right.
Then, she would never forget the day the dragon and horse came to check on them. They had been in the kitchen cooking lunch and they had started to get a little bit too playful with each other. They had started chasing each other around and knocked a pot full of dish water of the counted and Kazu fell on top of her. When the two other members of their family walked in, it just looked like a strange accident. Little did they know, the two of them saw it much more than an accident and were just about to kiss when they walked in. The horse was laughing at them and the dragon just grinned, seeing they the mask they both put on. Neither saw the actual truth. That night was the second time they slept in the same bed together. Except this time, there wasn't any storm that compelled her to want his protection. She just wanted to be near him.
Tsubaki had a gift tucked away in her dress that she was waiting to give him. She hopped that he liked it. It was a good luck present for the dance. She loved the feel of his strong hands on her hips. Her hands had snaked around his neck when they first started kissing. Even if the kiss lasted minutes, it felt like years to her because she enjoyed it so much. Her lips tingled with the taste of Kazu. It made her so happy to be around him that she couldn't help but look up at him loving eyes and a grin-like smile. She rubbed her fingers along the back of his strong neck in a very caring manner, awaiting his answer so that she could listen to his voice and give him his present.

OutOfCare: Sorry if this is rushed, I have to go to church now haha smile ♥
The horse nodded her head, understanding the Princess's words. "I will make sure he apologizes Lady Ryokou, I'm sorry for not watching him more closely." She said in a soft tone of voice, keeping a gentle smile on her lips. She watched the Princess's appearance, she was starting to look a lot more sick. Probably from the last time she saw the Princess, she's looking worse each time. She smiled warmly at the girls' reaction to her spicy sushi rolls, she was so proud of herself to be able to make the princess smile at least a little bit. The smiled returned so many happy memories when Ryokou was just a child, it made the young girl look a little bit healthier and more alive. She never once showed the girl pity, she knew Ryokou hated being showed pity and treated like a fragile piece of glass. The girl had strong will, which told a lot about the personality behind the anger and hatred the girl harbored deep inside. She saw how happy the girl was when she started eating the sushi, her eyes gleamed with happiness in reaction to the thank you she received from the princess. She was glad that she could do something that made the girl happy, now if only Kazuhiko could get over the past and perhaps move on. She remembered when Kazu had to go to the cabin with Tsubaki, but when they both came back.. Something had changed between the both of them, which interested her, but it was none of her business. She was just glad that some kind of peace was made between them, whether it be for the best or for the worst.
Kazuhiko chuckled at her question, had he been good in the past 12 hours? No. He loved the taste of her lips, it tasted faintly of strawberries, his favorite fruit. He loved the feel of her slender and soft fingers against his neck, it sent shivers of happiness all along his spine and back up. He gently started rubbing the small of her back and his blue eyes scanned deeply into her eyes, he found it hard to remember why he used to hate this beautiful creature. "You know I'm unable to keep control of my anger when I'm not around you, so to be honest here.. I wasn't" He smiled happily, he was in a good mood now. The only thing that would ruin his night, is the mere fact that Ryokou might start her sh*t with Tsubaki, he wouldn't allow it. He would stand behind the beautiful pink goddess in and out through Hellfire, lately, he didn't care if anyone knew. Yet, he knew that if Ryokou found out about their love, she'd flip out and condemn them both and take Tsubaki's life herself. In retaliation, he'd probably kill himself just to be with her. He leaned in again and kissed the side of the girl's cheek, then went lower until he could press his lips to her soft shoulder that wore such a thin piece of clothing to hold up the dress. He took in her scent and stayed there for a while, he just wanted to stay like this for a very long time. He was happy now.
Then his mind clicked and he remembered what he had in his pants pocket, earlier that day, just to get out of the house and away from the horse bugging him about coming, he'd bought a New Years present for Tsubaki. He was so happy when he got it because when he first saw it, it really reminded him of her immediately. He would wait to hear her reply to give it to her, because honestly, hearing her voice was such a relaxing thing. Seeing her smile would make his night even better, he loved her smile. He never wanted her to look so down or so torn up or depressed ever again, because a smile brought out the best in her and he loved everything about her. He ran his free hand through her long soft pink hair, while his other hand just massaged her back gently. His longish silver hair draped over his face as he leaned down to kiss her shoulder again, his bright blue eyes closing.."But I'm a lot better now that you're here..Tsubaki.." He drawled out her name in a voice that was only heard from him to her, the way he said her name was.. Enough to make someone speechless.
