Chester was almost buzzing with excitement. It was a rare day when Itami gave everyone time off for a few days, and luckily on the first day of freedom she was hanging out with her brother Ru. It had been a while since they last had the chance to just be themselves, and she had learnt early on that Ru wasn't as bad as he seems, and growing up with him around made them close. She knew things about him no one else did, and vice versa. They never kept secrets from one another... Which lead her to a problem, she wished to tell him of her meeting with Akvan, but was unable to work out how to do so. There was three things she could imagine him doing, first, taking her straight to Itami for questioning. Second, keeping it a secret for her, and playing the role of 'big brother'. And thirdly, he becomes disappointed and ignores the fact altogether. She was uncertain on which, as all seemed likely. But this was not a secret she wished to keep from him, no matter how much she should. It was more the problem that, no matter how close each other were to each other... He and Itami were closer, probably his closest relationship, and he would never keep such a secret from her, unless it was called for... Oh how things were confusing to work out. But it was no use worrying about such trivial matters. She wished for a relaxing day, and nothing would soil her mood. Not when she had the chance to forget her problems and just be herself. No worries, no being careful on what to say, and absolutely no worrying about what Itami might do to her. So in reality, it was one of the best days she could have. |

Ru was grateful for the few days they had off, though it would be spent a little depressed if a certain Angel Guardian wasn't able to escape from training. He had already spent all his free moments hanging around the areas Kaku mentioned he could be, and yet no sign of him. But Ru understood, an wouldn't let his mood ruin the day ahead. He was currently flying over Rycora, looking for the tallest tree... Many would wonder why do such a thing, when many were the same size, but he had soon worked out exactly which one was taller then the rest. This was the meeting spot for Chester and himself, both discovered it after a harsh fight involving Itami and Chester... Where he dragged the latter away before being killed. He felt kind of bad, he knew he could trust Chester with anything, but part of him wanted to keep the secret of Kaku all to himself. Though that would not happen if he took up the invitation to join them, if he managed escape from Aura. Making a silent promise to himself about telling Chester... Though her teasing would make him want to harm her in the end. Ru planted his feet on the ground and hid his wings, he would not need them for today. Taking a quiet sneak behind the unrespecting Chester, Ru grabbed her shoulders... "Hey Pipsqueak!" |

Chester had been almost fast asleep when waiting for her brother to arrive. She should have known he would be late, again... So when the voice startled her from behind, she couldn't help but let out a terrified scream. "AHHHHHHHHHHH... I HATE YOU!" Turning around and repeatingly hitting Ru's chest in anger, Chester almost over looked the fact that he called her a Pipsqueak... Almost. "AND DONT CALL ME SMALL!" Resorting to using her legs as a weapon, along side her arms, she kept on hitting him for a few moments longer before giving up completely. Not before shoving him against a tree. "Did you really have to scare me like that you moron?" Chester wasn't totally surprised that he did such a thing in the first place. She has known for years that he gets a kick out of scaring her... In a non harmful way, so she shouldn't be acting so surprised. Finally calming her breathing down and her heart rate, Chester tackled her brother in a hug, not realising how much she missed having him as a brother figure and just being able to hang out with him. "I missed you." |

Ru couldn't help but burst out in tears of laughter, it was always fun making Chester scream. The once composed and too confident for her own good Chester, reduced to a screaming angry mess always made his day. Especially when she became angry because he called her small, even with those ridiculous heels on she only came to the height of his chin, an he could never help but tease her for it. Rurushu didn't even try to dodge the attacks, they didn't hurt anyways. And he couldn't help but give another laugh and wipe his eyes when she shoved him into the tree. "Oh come on... You know I don't mean it." He faked hurt when she called him a moron, placing a hand over his heart and wiping away an invisible tear... This was just common banter between the two after all. "Moron? Hurtful..." Very much so hurtful..."
Ru froze for a single second when she hugged him, this being quite uncommon for her to do... Then again, they hadn't hung out in such a way for weeks, and neither dared to do so within range of anyone else. He eventually hugged back and kissed the top of her head. "We saw each other like... Two days ago, but I missed you too." Breaking off the hug after a few moments, Ru got chance to actually look at her. After all these years, he knew what certain looks were, and currently he could tell there was something on her mind, but he dared not push.. She would tell him when she was ready. "So how many problems have you managed to cause... Someone told me you got stuck in a spiders web and that was the reason for bunking off last weeks meeting." Ruffling her hair a little, Ru leant back against the tree and folded his arms, waiting for Chester to explain. |

Chester chuckled slightly when Ru faked being hurt, she often called him a moron, so she had no desire to comfort him, not even in the slightest. "Man up... I've called you worse before." Giving him a friendly push, she chuckled once again. She smiled when he retuned the hug, and ignored his jab at them seeing each other two days ago, both knew that it didn't count, being stuck in a meeting around all the other Outlaws... Didn't really warrant an actual count. She could tell what he was thinking after breaking the hug, maybe trying to keep Akvan a secret from him wouldn't work, and she would have to risk the truth, but he seemed in a nice enough mood today to keep it a secret. She hoped. For a second Chester panicked when being told why she missed the meeting, who saw her? And when? But she soon remembered going home grumbling about stickiness and spiders webs, in a hope not to seem too happy... Someone was bound to hear her and make up a conclusion. Smoothing down her hair, and lightly punching Ru in the arm, Chester felt as if it was now or never to tell him. He could already tell something was up, and though he wouldn't push her to tell, he would eventually try and coax out the truth. "Yeah... Stupid spiders web, horrible, horrible stuff. Luckily someone helped me out of it, unlike you guys who didn't even come looking for me." Which was true, after hours being stuck on the webbing, and hours hanging out with Akvan, she returned home to find that nobody even wondered what happened to her... Only Itami complaining about how she missed the meeting yet again. Some family, huh. |

Now this definitely spiked Ru's interest. Not many walked around Rycora, and even less would help one in such a state, and if it wasn't one of the Outlaws who knew Chester... He was unsure who it could possibly be. A part of him suddenly felt really protective of Chester, by the slight blush on her cheeks... That she probably didn't even know was there. He realised it must be a male, and a male who has made an impact on his little sisters life... And he did not like such a thought. But a part of him also realised it must be someone she knows, or has heard about, Chester was not one to make willing friends with a complete stranger. "Really? Who helped you? Im guessing its a Demon... You wouldn't dare befriend an Angel, not unless they were friends with one of us." Ru took a moment of silence... Would she befriend Kaku if she met him? The Outlaws had turned her into an Angel hunter after all, and if they knew she over looked killing one so strong... The bad kind of chaos would be spread over to her, she would be in a lot of danger. But he trusted Chester, and knew she wouldn't harm him unless he did so first... And that's something he knows Kaku would never do to one innocent. "Hmm, is it that Demon child who keeps bordering on becoming one of us? No.. What about Finnik? I know you often hang with him at the meetings... Not him either? Hmm... What about, dare I say it Akvan? Itami would have your..." Ru watched as Chester's face grew a bright shade of red... It WAS Akvan... "Are you.. OUT OF YOUR MIND? If Itami finds out you have befriended Akvan she would definitely have your head..."
Ru gripped his hair in frustration... Not just because she befriended him, but because she seems to feel more for him then just friendship, if the blush adorning her face was anything to go by. This was a secret he would be taking to his grave that's for sure. |

Chester knew what was coming. Ru was playing the guessing game with her, and knowing him he would be quick to figure it out, she would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid of his reaction. Though she trusted him, it was difficult to decipher what he would say or do... "Really? Who helped you? Im guessing its a Demon... You wouldn't dare befriend an Angel, not unless they were friends with one of us." Chester watched him for a moment as he became silent, there was something going on in his own mind, in a way she was grateful, what ever happened here now with her... He would have to keep it a secret, as it seemed he was harbouring a secret of his own. "Hmm, is it that Demon child who keeps bordering on becoming one of us?" She shook her head, she had never even met this Demon child, and frankly she didn't want to, from what she had heard he was just a new born trying to impress. "No.. What about Finnik? I know you often hang with him at the meetings..." Chester made a face at this, Finnik was a fifty year old Demon and a pervert. Itami always made sure to have Chester sit near him during the meetings just so it would infuriate her. So why Ru even suggested such a Demon was absurd. "Not him either? Hmm... What about, dare I say it Akvan? Itami would have your..." Chester couldn't contain the blush that covered her face, after her day with Akvan and the meeting with Gensho, she just couldn't help it. "Are you.. OUT OF YOUR MIND? If Itami finds out you have befriended Akvan she would definitely have your head..."
Chester felt an anger in her arise, he had no right to complain. "AM I? WELL SORRY. HE'S ACTUALLY A GREAT PERSON, AND ITAMI CAN HAVE IT FOR ALL I CARE... I... I really like him okay, he's a great friend... Please don't tell Itami... and please support me with this.... I know you are hiding something also, so please." She let her anger subside in exchange for begging, she didn't want Akvan to get hurt, nor did she wish to give him up as a friend... But if Itami found out... Things would never be the same.

Ru actually felt quite guilty now. It was true he was hiding Kaku, so why he got so angry at Chester becoming friends with Akvan was beyond him. Then again, it may be the fear that someone had caught his little sisters interest, and it was just brotherly protection kicking in... Now he properly though about it, that was the case, he didn't wish for his sister to grow up, and meeting a guy definitely wasn't going to help with that... "Okay, okay. I wont tell Itami, this is our secret... You can talk to me about anything whenever you need to okay? But if Akvan ever hurts you, you must let me know. He would never have known pain until im done with him." After a moment he brought Chester in for a hug. He hated to see her so upset, and worried. "Come on shorty... Want to hear my secret? You know that Guardian I have 'respect' for... Yeah, lets just say its a forbidden fruit that was too tempting for me to ignore." He knew Chester would know exactly what he meant, she often asked about his meetings with Kaku, when she knew they came into contact.. Though Ru never knew of what he was feeling at the time, part of him believed Chester did, hence her teasing about the Guardian whenever they spoke about him.

Post by Kakushin on Nov 5, 2014 22:24:46 GMT
Kakushin didn't want to fall asleep, but he'd not slept a wink in the past four days. It was less than a few hours ago that Hane permitted the young Guardian to leave, only after Kakushin had almost broken his leg trying to harness his new magic power. He felt a little embarrassed, but as soon as he heard the word go, Kaku was out of Aura and flying down to Rycora like a falling star on a mission to crash land on someone special. Unfortunately, Kakushin didn't fall on the person he wanted to. No, a tree caught him in his descent, and now here he was sitting against the tree's trunk, dozing off to ignore the aches and pain of the hard days of training.
He'd fixed up his leg again, although after Hane's furrow use of the injury as punishment, it hurt to walk on. Which was why the Angel was so content on sitting here, exhausted as he slept the day away.
It was only when he heard a woman's scream that Kakushin woke up. Jumping to his feet, and then falling when he pressed too hard on his leg, Kakushin's eyes darted around the empty forest for the source. He eventually closed his eyes, trying to focus on any points of chaos or distress, as he could do using his Peace Magic. But no, even though the scream was real, the danger was not. Kakushin slowly got to his feet, frowning as he glanced around. Well, whatever or whoever it was, they certainly woke Kaku up from his nap, which gave him an excuse to try and keep sleep away as he looked around for Rurushu. The Demon did say he would be in Rycora in four days, but Rycora wasn't a small forest land. Kakushin sighed, before thinking on that woman's scream. No... Rurushu couldn't have been serious when he said he'd create some chaos to lure Kaku out, could he? Kakushin smiled to himself, hobbling along as he thought back. Then he heard the voice again, this time actual words.
"... HAVE IT FOR ALL I CARE..." Kakushin made out, turning to head out towards the sound. He limped along for a few more minutes, before stopping at a tree to lean on. Breathing heavily, Kakushin could hear the voices clearer, but not still who they belonged to. All he knew was that they were coming his way.

Chester's head snapped up and she gave a half laugh while adorning wide eyes... "You and? You and KAKUSHIN?" Chester moved the hair from her face in mixed frustration, and shock. She had known for a while that her brother felt something for the Angel, this being the reason why she has yet to follow through the orders of killing him... But she though he was always too dim-witted to actually act upon them. "YOU DARE BEWITTLE ME ABOUT AKVAN AND THEN TELL ME YOU AND KAKUSHIN........ How far have you guys gone?" If Ru wanted to complain to her about befriending Akvan then fine, let him, she knew her secret would be kept safe now... But that didn't mean she couldn't have fun teasing Ru about his. Chester began walking backwards, she knew that asking such a question would gather a rather mixed response from Ru, it had happened before, but now the cards on the table were much more fun to play with.

Rurushu turned into a blushing, spluttering mess. How could his innocent little sister ask such a question? It was just absurd. Though through the embarrassment he did narrow his eyes and send her a death glare, before stalking towards her... He knew she would keep this a secret, especially harbouring her own... It felt as if some of the weight of his shoulders had been lifted. "Now Chester... What sort of thoughts are going around your head? We have only kissed after all.. Though I wouldn't ever tell you anything more." He took off running after her, twisting through the trees until Chester came to a sudden halt and he ran into her, causing both to topple over. As he was getting up, he couldn't help but notice the figure about four meters away from them... When finally seeing who it was, Ru couldn't help but blush and become worried and frantic at the same time.. "Kaku? Oh god, what happened?" Rushing over to where his love stood, he couldn't help but believe he had been dragged through the territory of Angel hunters. Taking Kaku's face between his hands, Ru searched his eyes to see if he was about to collapse into unconsciousness. Forgetting that Chester was even around still. "Are you okay? How badly are you hurt?" |

If anyone could almost fall asleep whilst leaning on a tree with one leg, Kakushin could. He was very sleep deprived, and when the rough side of a tree looked to him like the softest cushion. Pressing his head against the wood, Kakushin sighed, maybe looking for Ruru could wait a few minutes. Kakushin smiled as he fell asleep standing, picturing that face he longed to see again. Before he drifted, Kakushin heard his name. The Angel opened his eyes, frowning as he looked all around. He heard it twice, which meant it wasn't his sleepy imagination either. Kaku pushed himself off the tree, about to move off towards the call before two people fell forwards in front of him.
Kakushin blinked his heavy eyes, the shock of the moment disappeared when he saw the man collapsed next to the younger human. Before Kaku could say anything, Rurushu got to his feet placing his hands on Kakushin's face like a lover prepared to see their other half about to die. Kaku looked a little shocked at all of the attention, realizing that he must look like a dragon chewed on him to anyone else. Kakushin smiled, placing a hand over Rurushu's, it felt far too long since they'd be so close.
"I'm fine, I'm fine.... A few days ago this good-looking Demon decided to slice up my leg, and since then my teacher has been using the injury as a method of torture to get me to work harder." Kaku answered.
Kaku winced as he tried to put weight on the leg. "It kills. I should have got it treated before coming down, but I couldn't wait any longer to meet you again." Kakushin muttered, stroking Rurushu's hand. The Angel was just about gone into the moment, until he realized Ru didn't come alone. Kaku eyed his companion, a younger Human woman. "Is this?" Kakushin began, nodding towards the Human.

Chester was quick to set off running, though she knew Ru wouldn't hurt her, she still feared what he had up his sleeve. But when she came into sights of an Angel, she forgot she was being chased and froze, not a brilliant plan considering the next thing she knew both her and Ru went tumbling to the ground. It took her a few moments to regain her baring, but when she did... Chester couldn't help but chuckle. Ru had the Angels face between his hands, looking like he was about to either murder someone, or hyperventilate from, who she guessed was Kakushin, being hurt. She felt as if she was interfering with a private moment, but could not bring herself to look away... Ru seemed the happiest she had ever seen him before, and she didn't want to miss that for anything.
Chester raised an eyebrow as Kakushin spoke... Or more over what he said, she could have fun with this... When Kakushin motioned towards her, Chester had to think of a response that would just make her brother turn into a blushing mess... She had just the thing, though she knew she could do a lot worse. "You must be Kakushin, the one to steal Ru's heart... Brother has told me so much about you, if I remember correctly his exact words were the 'forbidden fruit that was too tempting for me to ignore'" She gave Kakushin a grin, and Ru a glance of 'I am going to embarrass you so much.' How she loved being able to get away with things. |

Ru leaned into Kaku's touch, it had only been four days, but it had seemed like a lifetime. And he wanted back the warmth only Kaku could give. He couldn't help but smile when he explained why he looked worst for wear, even if it felt a little guilt that he was the reason for such a state. "Lets help you sit down and then I'll see what I can do to help." Taking a firm hold on Kaku to make sure no extra weight had to be put on his bad leg, he went to help him to the ground, but that was before Kaku motioned towards Chester... This wouldn't end well. Before being able to answer the question, he heard Chester speak, and he already knew that what ever came out her mouth was directed at making Ru want to hide in a ditch. "You must be Kakushin, the one to steal Ru's heart... Brother has told me so much about you, if I remember correctly his exact words were the 'forbidden fruit that was too tempting for me to ignore'" Ru grew bright red and groaned at what came out his sister mouth. Resting his head on Kaku's shoulder, he didn't want to see the look she gave him. "Yes this is my 'loving' sister Chester..." He lifted his head slightly to give her a look. "When this day is over, your going to be dead. And im going to enjoy it..." He knew she knew he was kidding, but in that moment, he really truly meant it... More for her teasing them every moment she gets, rather then anything else.

Well, it was embarrassing to say such things as Kakushin had said in front of Ru's sister, and the Angel felt the warmth around his cheeks. But he didn't take them back, he could be in front of the entire Angel race, including dare he say it, Hane, and still admit such things. Kaku couldn't help but enjoy having Rurushu wrapped around him, even if it was accompanied by pain in his leg. The Angel sighed with relief when he could sit down, making sure to keep his eyes wide open now. He'd found his love, and falling asleep now wan't an option. "Thank you, and I think you owe me for involuntarily helping Hane make my life hell." Kakushin answered, grinning at his last comment.
"You must be Kakushin, the one to steal Ru's heart... Brother has told me so much about you, if I remember correctly his exact words were the 'forbidden fruit that was too tempting for me to ignore'"
Kakushin spat out laughter, looking up at the red Ruru with a smile. It may have been to embarrass the Demon, but Kakushin felt happy as well as amused. "Really?" Kakushin asked back, smiling to Chester as if thanking her for this priceless bit of information. It made Kaku a little flushed with red himself, but clearly not as much as Rurushu. "You're like a little Neko aren't you, Chester?" Kaku asked, still smiling ear to ear. Kaku looked up to Ru, happy to be able to see him rather than just picturing him. "She barks worse than you, Ruru." Kakushin commented.
