Chapter 2: The Star, and the Hellish Sky.
Black Star, looked back to his partner, and smiled towards her, the sudden need to express herself, only made him feel flattered, if nothing else. Crimson fluster would spread across his pale, toned cheeks. "Tsubaki, thanks..." Nervously, he rubbed the back of his head, not even certain what to say to her. He then, placed his hands on her shoulder blades, and gazed ever so deeply, into those dark, beautiful, indigo orbs, of hers. How, the Ninja, loved a set of beautiful eyes, and a beautiful personality, even, soul, to match. His heart, thumped inside of his chest, the fluster spreading further across his cheeks.
Tsubaki, then stared back into his eyes, as well, leaning forward a bit, about to murmur, more of her inner feelings, to him, yet, she found it, very hard for the words to slip from her tongue, her mouth. Gazing, in silence, she then rested her head upon his chest, listening to his heart, the sound of it, soothing her, calming her, even. Instinctively, his arms wrapped around her, holding her close, the biggest smile, upon his lips.
This moment, seemed to last for eternity, when he glanced upwards, to see the sun, breaking across the skies, the stars, slowly fading, the Darkness of night, ebbing away. Soon, they would break the hug, and walk quietly back into the house, thanking the Heavens, that it was the weekend, and that they could relax, instead of running off to missions. And, both of them retired to the bedroom, laying on the bed, falling into a deep slumber, with one another.
Hours, soon passed, and Black Star, was the first to awaken, noticing that Tsubaki's hair had fallen out of it's neat, and tight, ponytail. In silence, he gently combed his fingers through her silky tresses, ashamed, to even admit, he loved doing this, when she wasn't awake. Somehow, it seemed normal, and probably the only thing, that he didn't do perversely to her. A bright smile fell onto his lips, as he chuckled lightly to himself, careful not to wake her. Hehe, perhaps, he would run her bath water for her, and even cook something special for her. Then, she'd probably think something was wrong with him. The only thing wrong, was that he was the Great Black Star, and that he was in Love, with a delicate, beautiful Flower, that he did not deserve. What a predicament, he was in! But, he should have been use to these type of situations, by now.
As, if she was resonating with him, the girl, found herself, slowly waking up, one hand reaching up to rub at her tired glazed over eyes. Until, she was fully awake. Tsubaki, could feel that her hair had fallen out, in her sleep, and could feel his fingers, combing through the long, raven tresses of it. A Small blush crept onto her cheeks, but she did not question it. She quietly, enjoyed these type of moments, certain, that if questioned, he'd deny such things. That was, her Meister, Black Star, for anyone. But, deep down inside, she knew how kind, and always brave, he was. That's when the realization, surprised her. Not only did she Like him, But she Loved him, and needed him. The blush upon those pale cheeks, intensified, as she slowly sat up, her long tresses falling over her face, perfectly.
