We are an exact opposite. I am dark and cold, you are bright and warming.

I am the one everyone would run from and despise. You would be where they would run to and love. I am the destroyer, you are the guardian.

That is how things go for both of us.

The sun rose early that morning, giving out its ray to the inhabitants of UTAU zone. As if on cue a certain male android woke up roughly, cursing and smashing a poor alarm clock that kept buzzing for the last few minutes. He stretched a bit and left without even bothering to clean after the mess he made.

The six-years old rummaged through the fridge while ruffling his now shoulder-length red hair. He took out anything he could find in reach and stuffed it in his mouth, hurriedly returning to his bedroom to dress on a simple black t-shirt and gray pants.

Heh, just see. I'll catch you unguard today.

He snickered as he thought about how the kunoichi face would be when she woke up to find him sitting on her living room with breakfast on hands. Surely he would be hunted down and, if he's lucky, spent only a few days on hospital but, hey, seeing her flustered and shocked face worth all the efforts.

Nobody could stop the Namine Ritsu. Not even a demonic lady with a bunch of ninjutsu and a deadly katana in hands.

With that, he shut his front door with a slam and left to execute his oh so wonderful plan.

A lone figure was jolted awake by a presence approaching the humble tree house. Sitting up, she quickly smiled to herself as she acknowledged the presence.

What a stubborn one. The boy just never gives up, does he?

She grabbed her sword and ready to teach him his lesson right here and then but decided otherwise. She didn't know what stopping her but she just watched as the boy tried to climb up the tree to her home, tensing a bit as he was about to fall from one of the branches. She exhaled in relief when he regained his balance and proceed to continue the climb. She didn't know for sure, but maybe she'd just watch quietly for now and beat him up later.

Finding her house in the forest was counted as a problem but climbing the tree to reach it called for another. Last time he fell and broke a leg his vippaloids 'sibings' just simply laughed at his misery, giving him a mocking thumbs up. He did break the whole house of theirs apart later though.

Gah, why would a great bully in the name of Namine Ritsu go through this kind of trouble only to annoy a certain black-haired woman? He was oblivious of the answer himself. He asked his big brother Ted once, earning only a laugh and a chimera to beat up.

The long journey up the tree had finally ended and Ritsu grinned in his victory. He quietly slipped through her front door and tip-toed to the living room. Suddenly he heard a female voice he knew too well from behind him.

"So, what brings you here today, huh?"

There goes my luck.

Regaining his composure, he turned to greet the owner of the house.

"Morning, hime. Such a great day today, isn— "

"You're not answering my question by any means. And for the last time, my name is Mako. Stop calling with that silly pet name of yours."

He stared at her and smiled the smile that always made her want to smack his silly face in and see any possible time in her life at the same time. She would normally choose the first but thanks to his constant 'visit' lately she had grown quite fond with—wait, what was that again?

"You okay, hime?"

Mako shook her head to get her back to the reality only to find the said android staring at her a few centimeters away from her face. She quickly turned beet red and swung her sword at him in reflex. The impact sent him to the ground and splattered some red liquid on the wooden floor.

A normal person would've gone panic after the event but Mako was a trained kunoichi. She just nudged the fallen body lightly with her feet in annoyment.

"Hey Ritsu, wake up. Stop playing around; I know the wound wasn't deep. You can't fool me."

She raised a brow when she didn't get a response, starting to recalculate how deep she had cut him from the amount of blood kept flowing out. Was she starting to panic?

Oh come on. He is just pretending as always, isn't he? Right?

Ritsu coughed a sickening sound, a jolt of electricity suddenly passed through her in form of guilt and regret. She quickly knelt down and took him to her lap, shaking him violently.

NO. NO IT ISN'T HAPPENING. NO, RITSU!

"Ritsu!"

She shouted that one loudly. The boy simply opened an eye slowly and managed to cough out a few words.

"Oh…hi, hime…. You…look f-fine…. G-good to know…then…."

He coughed again and she felt that her eyes started to sting.

"…hehe…. To think that… I'd d-died…."

No. NO NO NO!

"…because of laughing too much in the middle of a morning! Hah!"

NO—what~?

"Gotcha! HAHAHAHA! Never thought food coloring could work this good!"

..SAY?

He didn't just stand up and laugh and roll back down laughing, did he?

"…ha, ha~h. Mission accomplished. Now…."

Ritsu quickly got to his feet and scrambled off. He could hear a murderous roar from behind him as he ran faster, away from the tree house. Yep, this time he would definitely get killed for sure if he didn't make a run for it; or he would earn some broken bones in the least. Beside, that's what he got for bugging a kunoichi in the middle of a morning. And somehow for the Namine Ritsu he was now, he was quite fine with that. On with the escape!

I am the black and you are the white. We are different, we are completing each other.

Together we will create the eternal circle.

Just like Yin and Yang.


The thought about the Yin and Yang didn't make any sense to the story above, I know, I know….

It would be the prologue to the whole story that's why. This one was only explaining a few things about the current situations between Ritsu and Mako.

Anyway, this is my first story so reviews would be greaaaattllyy appreciated! :D
