I have always looked at others with disdain. Always mocking those in my mind that were so subjective to romance and this thing called love. I never understood why people would subject themselves to so much trouble for another single individual.

Were they that stupid to open the doors of their heart to another? So I've decided at a young age that I didn't need this-I didn't need to be weak like those around me that submitted to the drumming of their emotions.

Yet-that as before I met him, that I too realize that I was like everyone else a baka at heart. I couldn't really honestly say when I started to change and fall for the other. But-it was painful this feeling inside of myself. For everyday I saw him the ache inside of me grew and he somehow manage to slip inside of my walls.

I hated him for that. I hated him for bringing along this emotion this thing that I found to be very stupid. So I cursed the other, hated him with ever-single fiber of my soul. Until I later on realize that I was wrong that I truly did love him.

Our meeting at the beginning was something unusual; I was tying up some sunflowers, and look up to see all these girls surrounding a boy with a halo of gold. And he smiled at me and only thing I felt was unsettled wondering how one could smile so brightly without a care in the world.

I never knew that-the smile itself was a mask place on that pretty little face to shield away the other. But-day by day he continuously bugged me. I could have easily disassociated him from getting near me, by ignoring him, but I found myself gravitate toward the other.

I was like a puppet on strings dance and guided by the invisible hands of the man behind the scene. How I hated that feeling, but I went willingly, like a fool. In the end he had gotten kidnapped, Imonoyama Nokoru and all I could do was watch helplessly.

My pride was stunned I was a Takamura Ninja trained at a very young age to defeat and defend the one I would chose to protect. I had lost and as I fell into unconsciousness I swore I would save the other.

The bond I felt for the other was solidified quickly, I had made a promise, and willing followed toward it. At the end we both escaped, I had learn to admire the other quickly by his mind, he was so calm during the ordeal, there was nothing out of place about him.

But as we sailed on this giant penguin balloon that he bad signal for I could tell that he was lonely. That somehow like myself he had walls up and that he too felt alone. It wasn't easy I acknowledge for Nokoru, yes I now call him Nokoru to be friends with anyone. They would always be place in danger. When the fair hair boy told me that he would leave me alone and he apologized I couldn't let him run and hide away, after being offered something that I wanted.

There I made my vow out loud to him and in the end I had locked myself to him. He is now my one the one I had fallen in love with slowly and surely. Even though I hated him for making me a fool, he too was swallowed by the same foolishness, because we both are in love with one another.

Sometimes we hurt one another, not intentionally, other time we play with one another, but we care for each other. And-that is the greatest gift a fool could ever receive, especially me, Takamura Suoh.
