   Sorry long time no post.
Very sorry everyone, I've been busy as hell lately. But finally I don't have to worry about any more. Well except for my one exam in Art History Survey 101 that won't be hard though. Then I'm off till the 16th.^_^ so happy! will be sure to visit everybody's site asap. But for right now gonna leave ya with another part of my story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey sweetie. Didn’t think you would come right to my arms.” Akio looked up and realized it was Ronin. She hugged him tightly, and rested her head against his chest. He was a little surprised with the reaction but just wrapped his arms around her tighter. She hugged him tighter as she felt him gasp in surprise.
“Akio, I have something to tell you...” She looked up at him a little surprised.
“What is it Ronin?” He looked at her with a look that she had never seen before, and saw him give a smile that she also had never seen.
“Akio… I wasn’t gonna do this but… I can’t hide it any longer. This happened many years ago, but you had a boyfriend at the time and I didn’t wanna come between you two. But now is better than never. Akio, I love you… I always have ever since I met you. It took a while to realize it, but I did after I couldn’t get the thought of ya outta my head.” Akio looked at him slightly shocked at how he had come right out with it. Then gave him a sweet smile.
“I think I’ve felt the same way and never realized it. I always felt safe and warm in your arms whenever you hugged me, and always felt safe with you, unlike with my now ex.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and felt him wrap his arms tightly around her waist. She tried to remember the last time she had felt so comfortable in the arms of a man, but no memory surfaced. All were painful or hesitant for her. He gently kissed her neck, unsure of how she would react.
Akio felt the gesture of affection and at first stayed still, but then turned her head so that her neck was exposed to him and closed her eyes. His warm embrace of love had taken her and she didn’t want him to ever let her go.
Kisho had come back to make sure Ronin didn’t need any more help with any bags, and saw them together like they had been together for years. Akio felt someone watching them and turned to the doorway and saw Kisho with a pleased smile, and smiled back at him returning her attention to Ronin. “Babe, we should get going…” His ears rang with the way that she had called him babe, how it seemed to roll of her tongue like she had said it to him all her life.
“Yea I know, just don’t want this moment to end, beautiful.” She gave a smile at his statement and pulled back slightly out of his arms. She moved a hand to the side of his face, and felt him rest his head against her hand.
“I’ll help ya with ya bags.” She nodded and left his arms. Akio slowly made a last look over her room she had spent so many days in, and then turned to leave with Ronin. He walked directly behind her and closed the door and checked it was locked. He picked the other duffel she had and took it down to the car.

Ai had been thinking about her close friend most of the night and was worried since she hadn’t called her or even seen her. She called her apartment again, and there was no answer then a message she didn’t expect on her machine.
“Hi, I’m not at home, I left with a few friends of mine and have no clue when I’ll be back. If this is really important then try my cell, but no guarantees that I’ll have it on me. Just not wanting to really talk to any one… Bye.” Ai looked first confused that her close friend would leave and not tell her where, she started to worry even more for her friend’s safety. She knew she had met a few people when she was in college, and a few after she moved to New York, but that’s what worried her since she said she was staying with them. After some thinking she remembered Akio telling her about one guy she had met at a diner, and said she had felt a connection with him. But couldn’t remember his name for anything, slowly she turned to her window and looked out thinking about what she should do.

Akio went into the two men’s apartment and at first gave a little smirk. It looked exactly like a typical guy’s apartment, wasn’t that messy, but not overly clean. Ronin gave a slight smile.
“Uh sorry… kinda excuse the mess, not exactly the best at that.” Akio looked at him with a smirk, and took her duffel from his hand.
“Looks like you guys need a woman’s touch in here… and one other thing were is your room Ronin?” His eyes widened a little at the question.
“Uh it’s right down the hall there, first door.” She saw his reaction and knew that he knew she would be sleeping with him. He couldn’t help but watch her while she walked down the hall, the way her body moved with each step. Kisho lightly hit him in the back of the head with his hand.
“Why are you just gawking, go to her. You know she likes the show of affection.” Ronin for the first time blushed at his thoughts and gave a nervous smile. But he started down the hallway towards his room and heard Akio looking in her bag for something. He knocked first in case she was changing, and then entered. Akio looked up at him and gave her sweet smile. He went in the room and closed the door behind him.
“I never thought these dreams I’ve had would ever come true.” She went up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He slowly wrapped his arms around her gently massaging her lower back. She sighed slowly to the feeling of his gentle touch.
“Ronin? I never told you something. It was mainly because of my other boyfriend being a jerk, but Ronin I always felt a connection with you…” He hugged her a little tighter and smiled.
“I know what you mean. I guess that’s why I never liked you’re boyfriends or always wanted to be with you… I guess I just kinda felt a little jealous.” She felt his face get slightly hot against her neck and knew he was blushing. Slowly moving a hand to the back of his head, then pulled back slightly and looked into his eyes. There was still a slight hint of a blush to his cheeks. He pulled her slightly closer and she met him in a kiss. At first he was taken back slightly by the sudden movement, but then fell into the gentle feeling of her body against his. A few moments passed and she pulled away from the kiss with a smile.
“You’re sweet, and honestly one of the few that could win my heart without even trying to.” She pulled back from him so that she could find some of her things in her bag. Ronin sat on his bed and watched her for a moment, unsure of if he should offer to help or to let her do her own thing. She saw him watching her out of the corner of her eye and gave another small smirk, she had always known that he had feelings for her, but she had never realized this strong.
“What ya lookin at pretty eyes?” He blushed, realizing that she had noticed his staring.
“Just lookin at a pretty face.” Akio bit her lip slightly and turned a little to have him avoid seeing most of the blush that had graced her face with that one comment.
“What’s amatter Akio? Why ya blushing?” He was smirking because he knew the answer to his own question.
“I think ya know the answer to that, and if ya don’t it’s because ya flirting is beginning to get to me.” Akio turned to him again and sat down on his bed next to him.

hope ya enjoyed so far.
