All for fun

[Ronin]

(This setting is on a day Ronin decided to be on his own. It takes place shortly after he was injured by Kyouteki.)

Ronin was still not at his top form, but sitting around doing nothing was driving him insane. He had told Yuri that he needed something from the store, knowing that since he was hurt she would insist on getting it for him. Once she left, he got dressed and walked downstairs. He saw his Captain resting on the couch, slipping past her. He knew that she knew he was leaving, but she also wasn't going to stop him. He wandered around the town, ending up at the Gym he used to frequent before his life changed forever. He went inside, starting to stretch. He put on gloves, beginning to jab at the bag. He kept up his workout, some of the people starting to watch him. He was in the middle of punching the bag when the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood up. He shifted his head, someone's glove hitting the bag. He turned to face the person, seeing a guy around his age reading for another punch. Ronin nodded to the ring, stepping inside. As soon as the other guy stepped into the ring, he ran straight at Ronin, letting out a volley of fast punches. Ronin scoffed, as the punches were indeed fast by normal human standards. To him however, they were as slow as drying paint. Ronin dodged between all the punches, letting one hit him to test the fighter's strength. Once he felt how soft his fists were, he knew exactly how hard to hit him to end the fight. He let the fight drag on a little longer, then delivering a blow to the fighter's gut. Once the guy was counted out, Ronin left the ring. He stepped outside, deciding to head home. As he slipped inside his house, he heard Yuri throwing a fit as he had duped her so he could leave. He knew that a lecture was coming, the only question was how much trouble he was going to be in.

[Yuri Nakayama]

When Ronin had told her that he was going to go shopping, she jumped at the chance of going instead of him. He was hurt after all and it was the least she could do with him letting her and the others stay there. However, she did not realize that after she left, he left as well. After some time had past, she returned, putting up the items she had bought. "Hey Ronin, I'm back with the stuff yo wanted!" Whens he got no response, she was slightly worried. She looked around the entire house and could not find him. It was when he finally came in did she realize he tricked her.

"Why..did you do that? Why did you say something like that to get me out? Was it because you know I'd try to stop you?" She didn't know what he was going to say or if he was going to say anything at all. She was a little mad, but most of all, she was hurt that he would pull something like that on her. It was as if it was okay for him to protect her but not for her to protect him. However, she would try to pass it off the best she could. She closes her eyes as she smiled. "Well, I'm sure you just went out for a walk to clear your head or something. It sounds like a good idea."

She knew he would think she's mad at him, and it was true. She kinda was. But must of all, she was hoping he'd come after and tell her why he used the store thing to get her out so he could leave. "I won't be gone long. I'll do a search of the town to make sure everything is fine. I have my Soul phone with me, so if you need me, ask Shukumei if you can use hers."

She waved with a smile, walking off. I..just don't understand why he did that.. Hopefully he'l get the idea I want him to follow me.. But what if he doesn't? I guess, there's only one way to find out.."

[Ronin]

Ronin caught the hint, chasing after her as best he could. Once he caught up to her, he took her hand. He knew that she was only looking out for him, but he also knew that she would not let him leave the house. He squeezed her hand lightly, pulling her into an alley nearby. He looked into her eyes, his forehead resting on hers lightly.

"I needed to get some air. You would throw a fit at the idea of me getting out of bed as I am, so I decided to have you do the shopping instead. I would have been back sooner, but I got... side tracked."

He grinned, holding her close while looking at her. He knew that she was going to tug on his hair lightly, something she did to him when he did something stupid. It was kind of like how he would dig his knuckles into her head when she over thought things. He just hoped that she would go easy on him because of his condition, but had very little hope of that.

[Yuri Nakayama]

She was glad that he did come after her, but Yuri was surprised when she got pulled into an alleyway and with Ronin holding her close. Since he was in bad condition, she'll not tug on his hair just this once. He did have a point though. She would of stopped him or even suggested she went along just in case if something happened. "Yeah, I would of stopped you, but I would of asked if I could come along. You can't get too beat up you know. Just.."

She hugs onto him, her head a bit lowered so it makes her voice sound a bit muffled. "Don't trick me like that. You wouldn't like it if I did that, would you? I..just don't want something to happen to lose you.. Since we hung out at the beach.. And those times when we thought Captain was the enemy and dead.. I liked hanging out with you and Nori when we had the time to or when I was around. I..I want that to continue.."
