Saeba Ryo woke up with his breathing rugged as his eyes darted around,sensing no immediate threat as such around him,"Just a dream...",he said as he tried to completely wake himself up from a nightmare that had visibly shaken him.

Ryo slumped back to the park bench under the sakura tree in an isolate part of the public sighed as he looked up at the sakura tree wilt and the petals graciously fall around him.

A smile made its way to his troubled features as he was reminded of a certain dark haired hammer goddess...and he visibly relaxed.

But the smile turned into a frown as he thought about the nightmare that had ruined his mid afternoon it was not any thing new,it never ceased to make him shake to his very made him troubled,insecure,agitated and something else...he wasnt sure..but was it fear?

Saeba Ryo,the City Hunter was feeling fear?!

Ryo snickered at the thought,though he wasnt suprised...If Kaori could make him feel other emotions and feelings that he had deemed himself incapable of,could be aroused by her ,of course fear wasnt an exception...

Sensing it was time to get home,Ryo made his way homeward.

True he feared Kaori but this fear he felt was not of her but for her.Fear of loosing Kaori...that's what it was.

The nightmare had always been the same...Kaori bring pulled into an abyss of darkness while she desperately called out for him,whilst he found himself unable to move or do any thing but just watch in terror and agony as she left him...her voice a distant whisper as she called out for him.

Ryo rubbed his eyes as he opened the door to his the need to numb his imaginary pain,he made his way to the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of scotch he found suitable and drained nearly half its contents before he sat down on the couch in the living his head against the couch,Ryo thought of the impact of Kaori's arrival into his life...

"Damn you Kaori Makimura...",Ryo said but the smile on his face betrayed his words.

"Kaori?..",Ryo wondered out loud while looking around the living room ,seeing that she hadn't crushed him with one of her blessed hammers yet for missing lunch that day,Ryo went to find after one of her hammer pounds the life out of me,she'll take pity and feed me something Ryo thought as his stomach grumbled.

On entering the kitchen,he noticed a letter addressed to him on the counter and he recognised the handwriting as Kaori's...

Ryo,

Sorry to leave without telling you!A old friend of mine dropped by and insisted that i come along on a was very persistent you see I had no choice but to agree.I am sure you can manage for the rest of the day...and dont you dare try anything perverted you understand?!Deshi said we should be home before midnight...Take care Ryo.

Kaori.

He had no idea why he felt so numb and as though icicles were being shot through his veins...HE?Kaori was on a trip with some guy who"persisted"that she some along..on possibly a date?!

Kaori wasn't one to go out with just some one..this Deshi baka must be someone special Ryo concluded,as his head started burst with a thousand thoughts of what Kaori would be doing at that moment and his imagination ran wild with the dangers she may be in...and suddenly he pictured Kaori in the arms of an unknown man...and Ryo 's rage peaked as he growled at the thought.

Even though he had clearly masked and hidden his feelings for her ,leading her to believe that he never cared or felt the way she cared for him and loved him...

He was sure his Kaori would never cheat on him...Ryo smiled at the thought,as he slipped the letter to his pocket and made his way to Cat's Eye cafe to see if any of his comrades knew where Kaori had gone with this person he was yet to meet(and shoot him a painful death..Ryo smirked at the thought finding it very appealing...).
