Admiration

*A List of Things Yuu Admired About Ryuuga*

He never gave in

He would battle and battle but never succumb to anyone else. Yuu wanted desperately to be that strong. It was a different kind of strength than just pure bey strength. It was confidence and pride and passion.

He was talented

Yuu had never encountered anyone strong enough to withstand Flame Libra's special move. It was refreshing and wonderful and thinking about battling Ryuuga again gave him a thrill beyond pleasure.

He was aloof

Unlike everyone else who'd ever met Yuu, Ryuuga did not immediately dote or fawn over him. He looked down on him as a blader who needed to improve vastly in order to be worthy. Yuu loved it. It was nice not to be treated like a child.

They shared part of a name

Yuu knew it was silly but his name was a part of Ryuuga's. He thought that maybe maybe it connected them.

He was powerful

Ryuuga was a blader who knew how to get what he wanted. Yuu knew that tagging along for the ride would bring him to places he could've only imagined before.

But he was not loyal

Yuu still felt betrayed, even to this day. Perhaps it had been the wishful thinking of his youth but he hadn't thought Ryuuga so heartless. But he was. He cared for nothing and no one but himself. Yuu realized it too late.

And loyalty was the one thing that Yuu admired above all.

A/N: Not crazy about this one but I think it's semi-truthful. Thoughts? Who's up next? What's your favorite thing about Yuu? About Ryuuga?
