Daremo
S-rank
Nothing escapes me . . .
When it comes to picking up things around him, Daremo like to consider himself a very observant person. Someone who can take notices of the smallest of things about an individual. or the surrounding area, before others possibly could. Having an acute attention to detail homed through his time as a geisha and his time as a shinobi of Iwagakure no Sato. Truly, it would take someone of considerable skill to actually get something past his eyes, and it is because of that, he had picked up on Kaia’s jealous when they had the run in with Akane. Though his lover tried to hide it well, such a change of in her did not go unnoticed by him at the time. There was hardly anything she could hide from him. So it wasn’t surprising that she was jealous of Akane. Chuckling softly at her admitted jealousy, Daremo smiled, “Our relationship is unique, to say the least. Siblings who both hate and love each other at the same time. But, would always have the others’ back when shite hits the fan. Don’t be afraid to butt heads with her. Stand up to her, and be true about what you feel about her. She ” Shaking his head, “Let you on a secret. The reason why she never liked anyone I dated was that they never stood up to her. None of them was strong enough, not power-wise, but as a person to call her out on her bullshite. She will like you more than she already does.” He admitted. Kaia being the first one Daremo every told about Akane’s unique personality. All the others had to find out the hard way.
Nor nothing you can hide from her. . .
Maybe it is because there is a sense of comfortability around Kaia, or it could just be because of the loved he had for the woman before him, but, whatever the case it, he found himself letting his guard around the woman. Letting her into the deepest crevasses of his mind and body, allowing her to see things that only a few others have. The yellow reptilian eyes of his, staring at her in a loving manner, betrayed the monster within them. A monster steady growing from it’s hibernation. An unfathomed thing which reeked of death. And who had no problem in plunging the world into such chaos if it meant protecting what it has deemed him; Kaia and the child(ren) growing inside of her. The windows to his soul opened up for Kaia, allowing her to see the depths he would go through just for her.
He did not know when it started. When he allowed another to get this close to him then only a few others have. But, he did not regret it. He did not regret allowing Kaia into his life, and the world that he once lived in, and teeters on a daily basis. The woman was something else entirely from those he had dated or had a fling with. There was an innocent about her, that despite her past, was still pure as freshly fallen snow, but with the sense of danger that comes along with it. Nothing like his first lover who was as innocent as they could come despite being a geisha who had been sullied by many before him. Not like the Tsuchikage who only saw a glimpse of who he was. Nothing like his former teacher, someone who was more crazier than him, but understood the darkness within his mind. Indeed, Kaia was nothing like them. And, it was because of that reason why Daremo found himself drawn to her, which led to them eventually marrying, and now expecting a child of their own.
A brief flicker of sadness appeared in his eyes as she spoke of the love she held for him. His mind thinking back to the time he was supposedly ‘dead’, and could not do anything to tell her otherwise. How he had to watch the woman before him suffer for the entire week, not knowing that the man she loved was very much alive. “I can’t fathom how important you have become to me either.” what was left unsaid was the distance he would go through just for her, but, his eyes did show her the depths he was willing to go.
Do not doubt yourself, love. . .
Reaching across the table, his hands sought out hers, rubbing them gently as his eyes stared into hers “Love, I am positive that they will love you. Mayuko, my grandmother, is already thrill in meeting her future daughter-in-law. The woman who, in her words, managed to tame a wild Guanyin.” he spoke, chuckling softly. Shaking his head, a smile ever present, “The same can be said about Jinpachi, my grandfather. He is eager to see the woman who tamed his grandson. Though, between us, he is more excited about the idea of being a great-grandfather. If what my grandmother said is true, in the last letter, he is already buying stuff for the children.” Indeed, it seemed like his grandfather was already buying stuff for the children.
“Now. You are wondering why my grandparents would like you?” this being a hypothetical question, “Let me ask you something. Why wouldn’t they?”, he asked, “You are kind, loving, and a caring woman. Your strength is nothing to overlook. You are able to hold your own against most. But, more importantly, you are capable of putting up with my antics, and call me out on the bullshite. You love me for who I am, not caring about my dark past. You have accepted it, unlike the others who only marginally accepted it. You are not afraid of the darkness lurking in my heart. Something that can’t be said about the others.”
There was a sense of cautious with the others he had dated. None of them being completely comfortable with a man whose past was as dark as his. “You really have nothing to worry about. As far as they are concerned. You are apart of the family. But, I am curious, why are you scared of meeting them? I really want to know.”
