Reunions and Runo's anger.

Dan P.O.V.

I stood looking at my home town of Bayview on the sail boat that I borrowed from Marucho's Butler when Drago and I left 3 years ago. Drago popped out of his ball form floated above my left shoulder. "It's been a long time since we've been here, hasn't Dan?" he asked. "Yes it has. I wonder what's changed. Runo's probably furious at me for leaving without saying goodbye and for not taking her with us. If she kills me then you're to become the partner of her first born child, like I planned to do for my first born if I didn't die before I started a family. Had it been with Runo or someone else." I said. "Let's hope if you do have a child that it doesn't inherit your stubbornness." he said. I shook my head and began preparing to land for the final time.

15 minutes later I finished tying the boat to the dock and started walking towards Runo's family café. On the way I noticed that the city had changed a lot in the three years I've been gone. I had a hood over my face so that no one would recognize me and alert my friends that I was here. It didn't take long for me to arrive at the café. I walked into the café and saw Julie was helping Runo serve tables.

She came over and sat me down at my usual table, though I did have to let her see my face for her to do it. As Runo walked over to me, I noticed that her eyes were red. 'No way. Runo has been crying. I'm not going to beat around the bush like I planned.' I thought and pulled down my hood just as she arrived at the table. "Hello Runo." I said casually. She stared at me

"D... Dan is that you?" she asked. "Yes it's me. Now I'll like to order some food, please. I'll have three orders of my usual home coming meal. I haven't had anything to eat except fish for the last three weeks. Add fruits, bugs, a few snakes, and a shark, then you'd have what I ate for the last three years. To go please. I'd like for you to join me." I said. She nodded and went to place my order. 15 minutes later we left for the park. She wouldn't let go of my hand the entire way.

Also she was strangely silent. Finally we sat down at a bench and I opened my food box and started digging in with abandon. "Ah. That hit the spot. You have no idea how much I missed your cooking." I said after I finished eating. That seemed to set off her anger. "Oh you did, did you. Then why did you leave without me or at least saying goodbye." Runo said standing up so she could look at me in the eye.

"You never called or wrote. I nearly went insane worrieing about if you were still alive or if you'd ever come back. Daniel Kuso, how dare you make me go to Hell and back. I have half a mind to put a leash on you so that you can never leave me again." she said punching me after every sentence. When she stopped abusing me, I stood up and pulled her into a kiss. I broke the kiss after a few minutes reluctantly. Her lips followed as she tried to prolong the kiss. "Do what you want, I deserve it. But I promise no more leaving you behind." I said.

She smirked and grabbed my ear. "Good because I'm not letting you out of my sight for a long time. Now come along, we going to see the others." she said pulling me along by my ear. "Oww! That's my ear not a leash." I complained following her.
