1 Dinner for Two [Private/No Kill] Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:41 am
Kyohei
D-rank
As Kyohei traversed the streets of Konogagakure he allowed his mind to wander, something that was an unusual practice for him. And with that freedom to roam wherever it pleased and question any and all of the world’s mysteries, he could not shake the thought of Risu from his mind. When their relationship together was new it all seemed so easy. Sure, he had his own difficulties to work with out of necessity due to his forced involvement with the black ANBU, but he thought that only a minor inconvenience, something that he could work around without sacrificing his time with her. And he did try, despite his promise not to keep secrets from her this was the only way he could protect her. Over time however, it became evident that whatever it was he was doing to try and keep her happy was not enough. He was not enough.
For some time now, something had been weighing on Risu’s mind and consequently their relationship, but despite their vows against secrecy she continued to go about as if nothing was wrong and as though Kyohei was too stupid to notice. And in his devotion he had allowed things to continue like that, turning a blind eye to the secrets she kept and the distance it was putting between them, but that could only go on for so long. He needed her to tell him what the hell was going on with her. He couldn’t continue to protect someone who he now seemed to know so little about. He couldn’t always be there to watch over her and with as much secrecy that her time away from him now seemed to be shrouded him, he didn’t even know where to find her most of the time. He swore to protect her, if something were to happen to her…
And so he would arrive at the building of her private apartment to surprise her, and hopefully this time she wouldn’t mysteriously have to cut their time together short to go deal with something for “work”. But of course he did not intend to turn up empty-handed, plastic bags in hand containing beef ramen and sweet dumplings for dinner from Risu’s favorite ramen shop. If he had learned anything about Risu during their relationship it was that she loved to be spoiled. Like Kyohei they had endured a life that involved them spending an inordinate amount of time on the outside looking in. Although Kyohei had grown to quite enjoy the isolation, it made sense that Risu relished in the opportunity to receive someone’s undivided attention. Hopefully she would enjoy it enough to finally tell him what the hell was going on with her instead of just trying to sweep the problem under the rug as if it didn’t exist. Standing before the front door of her apartment he would stop for a moment to compose himself. He would take a deep breath and do his best to remove the look of concern on his face before knocking on the door three times.
