Kaku had gotten used to not even flinching at the pull into a kiss. It felt so sensational, that the Angel doubted he'd ever refuse one, he longed for every second he could feel so close to the Demon. Kakushin's face moved into a smile, although he looked at the ground. He knew Rurushu would keep his promise. It would make more sense to hope, with a small essence of doubt so that if the promise broke it wouldn't completely break Kaku with it. But Kakushin felt overwhelmed with something more than hope, he was determined. Determined to believe with a fire in his heart that Rurushu would keep to his promise, and that Kakushin would be able to live a life without the fear of losing yet another he loved. Kakushin didn't reply, and didn't get the chance to as he was attracted towards another kiss, holding onto it until he had to suck in air. Kakushin's smile dropped at glancing to the stones. Yes, so far he'd managed to speak through Itamu's past without any indication of distress, but this was the final memorial moment, Kaku couldn't promise that he wouldn't feel sad. Kakushin swallowed, nodding his head. He took all of the stones together, arranging them so that they perfectly stood, connecting like a puzzle. Then finally on the top, Kakushin placed the small stone carving, looking at the piece before glancing to Ru. He had to swallow again before thinking on what to tell Itamu's monument. "Ummm... hey Itamu. It's been a while since I've talked to you, and there's been a lot of changes.... I met someone, well, I technically met them years ago but didn't have the balls to talk to them without trying to cut their head off with a sword first. But, I finally admitted how I felt to them, something I never managed to do for you before... before you died." Kaku took a moment to breath, "He's called Rurushu, and he's right here now, and I don't know if I would have been brave enough to build a memory of you here without him by my side. With him, I finally feel like I can say I'm happy without lying between my teeth. And I know you've always wanted to see me happy, and with you I felt like that was such an easy goal to complete. Back then, you completed me, the shy and lonely Kakushin became someone who understood how to have fun, how to make friends and enjoy life. I lost my way when you left, thinking of my life more as all work and no play. The only times I was able to smile was when fighting the most annoying, persistent, and devilishly handsome Demon. And because of him, I was able to admit how I felt, finally... after fearing the consequences ever since you left, Itamu. And now I've done so, and thinking of you doesn't fill me with everything toxic to an Angel, I can thank you for planning all of this for me. Thank you, I shouldn't have assumed you sacrificing yourself in that field was something so selfish and tragic. You had taught me all the manners and tricks that I needed, so that when the time came to release your loyal dog, I wouldn't get lost in this strange world." Kakushin moved a hand to stroke the smooth stone shovel, "Thanks Itamu, I don't think you need to worry about me anymore."

Ru wrapped his arms around the back of Kaku, and rested his head upon the others shoulder. He dared not to interrupt, but listened intensely, smile getting bigger with every word spoken. He was glad that Kaku could speak to Itamu once more, and was proud he didn't break down in tears... But knowing this meant something to Kaku, what Ru suggested... Meant more to the Demon than anything else, and he would do something like this a thousand times over if it meant getting Kaku to smile and finally allow himself such moments, that he hoped meant a lot to him, though Ru knew he would never be able to see exactly how much, despite what the other has said. Giving a quick kiss to Kaku's cheek at the end of the monologue, Ru tightened his arms around the other and looked towards the stones. "If you haven't guessed, im Rurushu... I know we haven't met, but I thought I should say a few words... First, worry about this guy still, he can be an idiot... But, he's my idiot. Second, I promise not to hurt him, yes I am an Outlawed Demon but to me a promise is the truth and I do not lie... Erm, im not really sure what else to say besides promising, yes there's that word again, to protect Kakushin with my life, and that from what I heard, your a pretty decent guy.... I have to thank you too, If it wasn't for everything you did for Kaku... I wouldn't be here with him today. Im sorry you died, if I could change that, I would in less than a heartbeat... Thanks again Itamu... I wont go back on my words, I happen to love this idiot too much to hurt him, still trying to work out why though..." Ru tightened his arms around Kaku to show he was joking, though he was sure the other knew anyways. "Oh, and really? A castle made of sweets? I admit the flying pigs as servants are pretty cool... But a castle made of sweets?"

Kakushin took a deep breath after finishing his piece. Even if there was more to say, Kaku's throat had dried so much he couldn't even speak. So he just accepted Ru's comfort, and dropped his head into the other's shoulder as Rurushu began to speak. The Angel chuckled, when the Demon called him an idiot. Funny, back with Itamu, Kakushin had been the sane one in the duo, perhaps Kakushin had changed to replace the stupidity lost. The Angel listened and hung onto every word, hugging the kindness like he was currently embracing Rurushu. The idea of a promise. To Angels it meant a lot, and it meant even more when a Demon forgot their natural inclination to promises to make an Angel feel comforted. After he was done, Kakushin took a long breath, before glancing up to Rurushu. "That was beautiful." He muttered simply, staring at the small monument. Kakushin eventually chuckled, "If you must know, the sweet castle was a joint idea, I may have got the idea in his head when we were discovering all sorts of ways to get a sugar rush." The Angel smiled, kissing against the closest part of Rurushu's neck before closing his eyes. "And also, your idiot is very grateful, thank you."

Ru chuckled and just looked at Kaku for a moment. "So that would explain it..." He stuck his tongue out at Kaku, letting him know it was all in good humour.. Mostly. Wrapping his arms around the Angel tightly, Ru threaded his hand into the others hair and held them close, something so natural and yet so foreign... Being this close to the other, in such a way, it was mesmerising and Ru didn't think he would ever get use to it. "Anytime Kaku, absolutely anytime... And that with anything you need, whether it be a simple hug, words of comfort, just a simple sparing buddy or anything worse... I'll be there, beck and call." Ru closed his eyes and rested his head upon Kaku's, relishing the peace from the area... The rustle of the slight breeze against the trees, and the faint noise of the waterfall in the background... This was definitely a place he would visit once more.

Kakushin could stay like this forever, looking at the small monument and think gratefully about all that had changed. Life was worth living long enough to see the good rise above the bad. Something Neko had once told a depressed and hopeless Kaku once. The Angel never took the words properly, but always held onto them. And now, it seemed the old cat was right about something, for a change. The Angel smiled at the Demon's humour. Something Angels tragically lacked in these days, using old Hane as an example, they didn't get what a joke was. Spending enough time in Sohul, Kakushin was trained in the art of comedy, but their lack of humour compared to the Demons overflowing humour always lead the Angels astray in learning to trust their Demon friends. Kakushin could smile and chuckle at a teasing remark, knowing to accept it, and knowing that Ru of all people would never mean anything in a bad way. Kakushin closed his eyes, humming at the lists of examples Rurushu gave. "Well, you are a loyal dog, for a treat I suppose I could get you to do anything, huh? Although, I suppose I'll be the same loyal dog as you are, I've had practice after all." Kakushin replied with his own grin.

Ru gave a laugh, he supposed that was true after anything he has learnt about Itamu and Kaku's past... But he felt as if it was time Kaku had the fun of playing master... Ru was use to playing loyal doggie, Itami always made sure of that, and lets not forget his horrible past with those who raised him... It was decided long ago which role Ru played. "For a treat, I would do anything... And that may be true, but its your turn to play master... Though may call upon the loyal dog within if I really need it." Ru gave a smile to Kaku before leaning down to kiss the others neck, definitely one of his favourite things to do. "Oh, but the only thing this doggie will rebel against doing is singing..." Ru just remembered the comments made from Chester about his singing, and knew that if he told Kaku he would do anything, then the Angel might over abuse that and ask him to do such a thing... It wouldn't be in a cruel way, and Ru knows this... But he wasn't going to take that chance.

Kakushin giggled, "Well, I'll have to come up with a few treats for you, won't I?" Kakushin muttered, eyes closing as Rurushu kissed his neck, simply playing master as he was supposed to do. They could take it in turns, as Kakushin wanted to repay Ru back whether the Demon wanted it or not, but for now was happy to relax and enjoy the sensation. Kakushin outwardly laughed when Rurushu mentioned singing, pretending to pout and be disappointed by it. "Darn, so close." Kakushin replied, winking to his love. Kakushin giggled, "And the ban on singing applies for me to, I've only just got you, I don't think I want to kill you off quite yet with my amazing voice." Kakushin said, brushing a hand over Ru's hair, and kissing his down on his cheek. Kakushin then moved close to Rurushu's ear, "But, if you really want me too..." The Angel mumbled, grin on his face.

Ru ignored Kaku's comment on working out treats for him, he could always just 'demand' a willing kiss, both win then. He carried on kissing down the others next, sometimes stopping to gently bite or suck on the skin found. Chuckling when Kaku laughed, he stopped his ministrations and looked the other in the eyes, Kaku was far from close on getting him to sing. He rolled his eyes when the other winked at him, and planted a quick kiss upon the others cheek. "Well, I don't think you would have to worry about being asked to sing..." Ru could still heard that... squawking even now, and it was something he not wished to re-live. Ru gave off a chuckle when Kaku whispered in his ear... No he really didn't want to. "I think I can last... No offence, I don't fancy losing my life by your lovely singing voice... Maybe you just talking to me, but singing... I think im good." Bringing Kaku into a tight hug, Rurushu rested his head on the others shoulder. "You know, I want to sing for you... But I have my reasons why I cant, or don't sing in front of people... Its bad enough knowing Chester's heard me... Let alone me willingly doing so."

Kakushin giggled, kissing down near Rurushu's ear, and almost shivering at every movement the Demon made on his neck. To stay like this would be so impossible, and yet it was easily Kakushin's only desire. He faked a disappoint sigh, giggling near Ru's ear. "But my singing voice is the most unique amongst Angels. When others hear it, they were shocked for days, unable to speak or eat." Kaku joked, wrapping his own arms around the Demon, causing them both to fall back, lying back on the grass just outside the temple. The Angel listened to Ru's reason for not singing, chuckling as he heard it, placing his head on Rurushu's. "So, the Demon has stage freight? Haha, as much as I desperately want to hear that voice of yours, I know what it means to you to keep it secret. So I shall not pry it from you so much, but it is fun to see you squirm around." Kakushin muttered, lifting Ru's head up to plant a kiss on the Demon's lips. These moments would be relished forever. And every moment longer, Kakushin felt closer and closer, one day believing he'd never be able to leave Ru's side for even a second. And to get to that desirable future, Kakushin knew he couldn't scare away his Demon with something so simple as hearing him sing, no matter how curious Kaku was.

Too shocked to eat or drink just about summed up the extent of Kaku's singing voice, though it wasn't the good kind of shock. But Ru didn't dare say such a thing out loud, he knew Kaku could take a joke,, and he was sure he would laugh if he said something to back up his statement... But there was such a thing as taking it too far, and if Ru didn't stop now, he may take it past that line. Instead the other just hummed and allowed himself to fall back with Kaku, making himself comfortable on the grass, well, as comfortable as one can on the ground. Ru gave a slight chuckle... But it wasn't exactly stage fright Ru had, he's happy to sing in front of others, its just all his songs are personal and say way too much about both himself and things that are happening around him. The songs were personal, and Ru doesn't enjoy singing unless it tells one something, and all the songs he knows would tell something he doesn't want anyone to know. "I don't have stage fright, if that was the case we probably wouldn't be here right now... Its more of a personal matter as to why I don't sing but difficult to explain." Ru leaned into the kiss, deepening it by wrapping an arm around the others neck and keeping him in place. Ru knew that Kaku had changed him, the good kind of change, in ways Ru never thought possible, and for that the Outlaw was thankful, this being the reason why he didn't regret what he was about to say. "I promise one day you will hear me sing, but it may be a long time coming until I sort out this personal matter, so to speak."

So, the Demon claimed he didn't have stage freight. Kakushin took that with a spoonful of salt. "Oh really? If it wasn't for my realization in Sora, would you have made the move, Ruru?" Kakushin teased. Although, he was curious to know if Rurushu would have done anything to show his feelings if Kakushin hadn't been pushed right into it before. The Angel hated to think that neither of them would have been brave enough to face the facts about their feelings, and that they'd still be running around like dogs chasing their tails. Kakushin smiled softly, listening to another promise from Rurushu. "That word again, you do know how to keep an Angel in love with you, don't you?" Kakushin joked, leaning over onto his side. Kakushin pulled Ru closer, latching onto the Demon's neck to usher him into a passionate kiss. "And I look forward to it, but just knowing that you would trust me one day to do something you've always been afraid of, it's enough for me." Kakushin smiled, brushing a hand through Ru's hair softly, placing a range of kisses over Rurushu's head.

Ru didn't know if he would have made a move or not. He guessed he would have tried, but he himself only truly figured out his feelings that night and would probably have spent a few days trying to sort out his head, but he had to admit, things did go pretty fast that night... Not that Ru was complaining. "I had that realisation myself that night, Kaku. So I don't know that answer to that question." Ru was having the exact same thoughts as Kaku after that, wondering what would be if they hadn't announced such things that night... Would they both be hiding it from the other, or would they be pushing those thoughts to the back of their heads like it wasn't meant to be. Because if the latter was the case, Ru would hate to think of who he would be right now. So he was incredibly glad for coming to that realisation. Ru smiled to Kaku and gave a slight laugh, it was easy to make promises, harder to keep them, and Ru knew this more than anything... He wondered why he was making so many to Kaku, but one look at the Angel reminded him... Ru never wanted to lose the other, he loved him too much for that, and would do anything to keep the Guardian with him. Returning the kiss with all his heart before answering, Ru sighed, never getting enough of this. "Glad to know, but one day I will, I'll make sure its a song especially picked out for you." Smiling when Kaku left a bunch of kisses over his head, Ru was quick to move both bodies so he was hovering over the other, giving him a chaste kiss to the lips, Ru leant his head on Kaku's. "I don't know where we would have been now if not for that night, but I am so terribly glad you accepted me and everything I am. So I don't know if I've told you this yet, but Kaku... I am in love with you, and will be for the rest of our lives."

The knowledge that Angels held, knowing the difficulty of keeping a promise. It lead to many of Kakushin's kind have a weary eye around promises, they were made, but only occasionally, and had to have a strong reason to them. Something used rarely made it more cherished. Which was why one might think receiving an onslaught of promises overstepped the boundaries, and made it harder to believe them. But Kakushin didn't see that in this case. With every sworn word, Kaku knew that Ru was considering nothing but how to earn the Angel's trust. He had Kaku's trust, ten fold, but the Angel adored every chance his Demon made to make sure that Kakushin never left. And Kaku didn't plan to leave, he didn't want to return to the boring, indifferent life he used to live. Kakushin let himself be moved around, wrapping his arms behind Ru's head as he looked up to the hovering Demon. Kakushin pushed up into Ru's kiss, leaning his head slightly to the side to lock his lips to Ru's perfectly. Kakushin let his head drop back onto the floor, feeling Ru lean his head on Kaku's. "I know where... we'd be running around in circles, fighting each other endlessly and looking for some stupid way to understand how we felt without facing the reality. And Ru," Kakushin paused, placing a quick kiss over the hovering lips above his. "I would have accepted you, even if it drove me out of my home or my duty, even if we would have to run away from everyone we knew, just to stay safe. I would have accept you despite anything, because I love you too, and will go to any length to make sure we can both stay this way, feel this way about each other for as long as we live."

Those words from Kaku meant more to Ru then absolutely anything else in this entire world alone. Just knowing Kaku would be willing to be driven from Aura just for Ru... It gave a warm tingling feeling to set in the pit of his stomach and his heart to beat so loudly that he thought it was trying to escape his chest. Kaku would never be able to understand just how much he means to Ru, but he would gladly spend the rest of his life trying to have him see that, though mere actions and words alone wouldn't even come close to doing such a thing. Ru knew that they would live for a while, Kaku much longer than Ru alone, and when either of their ends meet, it would be a cruel and sad day. End probably much closer than either anticipated or wished for, but Ru knew that was reality, and this story was much too happy to stay like this forever, but despite knowing this, Ru took it in stride and allowed things to be like a fairy tale. Giving another kiss to Kaku, one to hopefully show exactly his feelings for the other, Ru smiled once more. "You make me want to be better. I feel as if being here with you... Its too good to be true, and I feel as if im going to wake up any moment and turn back into my young, miserable Demon self who has yet to meet Itami... And as much as I hate to admit it, if it wasn't for all those years ago... I wouldn't be here now, like this or at all. I never thought I would truly be happy, not like this anyway. Sure im happy with Chester around, but you Kaku, you have given me so much more than I deserve... As I said, I want to be better, I no longer wish to be an Outlaw, but a promise I made has kept me bound to them. And being with you, hearing about your past and how its shaped you into who you are has made me wish to know why I am the Demon I am, something I adamantly refused to know in the past.... So thank you, Kaku. I needed to get this off my chest... Because you truly have become my entire world, and made me happier than I have ever felt before."

Kakushin had never seen eye to eye with death. The terrible change in life that it gave him, Kaku had decided against seeing it ever again. The Angel grew, naively believing he could stop others from dying around him, that he could stop those close to him from ever sacrificing themselves for Kakushin's sake ever again. And now it was more than ever. Kakushin knew what life had given Rurushu and him, the dangers that came with their forbidden yet perfect relationship, and that their lives would be drastically changed or cut short by it. But he wanted to keep his Demon alive, no matter what, Kakushin could not see death again so close. He wanted the impossible, life long loving relationship that he and Rurushu claimed to desire so passionately. "I used to feel sorry for Demons, believing that because of their suffering, they would never know what happiness was. But, after meeting Itamu, I was taught that happiness was something anyone could learn to feel, and something that everyone deserves to feel. When I met you, amongst all of the other feelings, I wanted to show you what happiness was, just as I'd seen Itamu lend a helping hand in guiding others to find their happiness too. Getting to know you as I have, the side that was all show and arrogant, eager to fight and lead a rebellious team. And then the side that was softer, fragile and longing, it makes me feel as though the least someone like you deserves is to feel happy. And it made me happy too, to know that I could share an experience like this at last, with someone I cared for..." Kakushin leaned on one elbow, using his free hand to hold Rurushu's head against his own. "Do you remember what sparked all of this between us? It was when you reminded me all that I'd felt for Itamu once, by saying you considered you life as nothing but a means to protect the few you cared for. Well, I will swear that, no matter what you've done, or will do with the outlaws I will never stop loving you, so long that you promise me one last thing." Kakushin almost shivered, feeling his eyes clot with water, "Don't die. Live happily with those you care for and remember to be the Demon you want to be, not the one your past carved out for you."
