21: The Young Family Shadow

The rest of the meal was very quite. Occasionally, Ryan or Toshiro would look up at each other. Kimiko sat there with a gloomy look on her face, she knew that Ryan and Toshiro tried so hard to get each other to like each other, and now that his dad knew who Ryan's family was, all that work would have gone up in smoke. Luckily, it was late in the day so after dinner everyone disappeared into their rooms. Kimiko groaned as she fell onto her bed, so far everything went fine until her dad finding out about Ryan. She changed into her pyjamas and put on her dressing gown, she thought she would visit Ryan and talk this over, Ryan had a habit of being able to tell her how this will be alright in the end, and she really wanted to be with him right now. She walked down the hallway towards Ryan's room, she was just passing her parent's room when she heard them talking, she would of continued if she hadn't heard someone in there mention Ryan's name. She put her ear to the door and listened to the conversation.

"I don't know what you are still moaning about" said Mrs Tohomiko "Kimiko had chosen him, isn't that enough?"

"I know…" sighed Toshiro "But it's strange that she would pick a man from the family who is trying to kill her"

"He might not be like that" said Mrs Tohomiko "You said it yourself, he is a charming and very polite boy"

"But I can't shake the feeling that at one time, he may have wanted Kimiko dead" said Toshiro. Kimiko sighed as she slumped down to the ground, it reminded her of the time when Ryan did wanted her dead. Kimiko felt like she was going to cry, how could her father be so cold towards him, just because he came from a family with a blood stained history?

"He isn't like Chase…" mumbled Kimiko as she wiped her eyes to stop herself from crying, "He's good…"

"Please be nice to him…" said Mrs Tohomiko "For Kimiko's sake…"

"Oh…Okay…" sighed Toshiro "I'll be nice…But I still don't trust him…"

Kimiko got to her feet and walked towards Ryan's room. She knocked on his door and waited for a response.

"Hello?" said Ryan.

"It me" said Kimiko quietly.

"Oh, come in" said Ryan. She opened the door and walked in; Ryan had also changed into his pyjamas and was just about to get into bed.

"Hey Kimiko" said Ryan as he looked up at her, he saw that she had a look on her face that she was about to cry, "You okay?"

"No…" sobbed Kimiko as she sat down on his bed, "I just wanted them to like you…But now they know who you are…"

She couldn't finish the sentence, he head fell down and tears began to fall from her eyes. Ryan sighed as he sat down next to her.

"Kimiko…" said Ryan as he put an arm around her, "It's going to be alright…"

"I love them Ryan…" cried Kimiko as she rested her head on his chest, "But I love you too…I don't know what to do…"

"It will be okay" said Ryan "Do you remember why you decided to help me get back from the Heylin side and why you brought me with you here?"

"Because…" sobbed Kimiko as she looked up at him, "I love you…"

"Exactly" said Ryan as he dried her eyes, "So if your parents can't see that, maybe they don't understand us, but soon they will…"

Kimiko smiled as she looked up at his smiling face.

"Thank you Ryan…" sighed Kimiko "You always make it seem better…"

"That's what I'm here for" said Ryan "I can't stand to see you upset"

She sighed as she moved onto Ryan's lap and rested her head on his neck.

"Err…Kimiko?" said Ryan.

"No…" sighed Kimiko "Don't ruin it…I just want to stay in your arms…"

"Sorry Kimiko…" said Ryan "But I think we should get some sleep now…"

"Oh…Okay…" sighed Kimiko. They kissed each other; her arms went around his neck as she poured more and more passion into the kiss. She fell back onto his bed, pulling him down with her; she tightened her arms so she pulled him closer. She reached up his shirt and ran a hand across his chest. As soon as Ryan felt her hands move across his chest, he immediately moved away from her and sat on the edge of his bed.

"I'm sorry Kimiko…" sighed Ryan "I told your father that I would try and keep my hands off you…"

"What?" said Kimiko "Why would you do that?"

"Because I want him to think he can trust me…" said Ryan "I really want this to work…for you"

Kimiko smiled as she hugged him.

"Thank you…" sighed Kimiko "You're trying so hard to make this work; I love you so much…"

"You're welcome" said Ryan as they kissed again. Kimiko got off Ryan's bed and walked off towards the door.

"Goodnight" said Kimiko as she looked back at him from the doorway.

"Goodnight Kimiko" said Ryan. Kimiko closed his door, leaving Ryan alone with his thoughts.

"Damn my Heylin bloodline!" thought Ryan as he lied down in his bed, "It's always causing problems…"

Following Morning…

Kimiko groaned as her alarm clock went off; she had decided to get up early so she could see Ryan before her dad saw him first. She slipped into her dressing gown and headed down the hallway towards Ryan's room.

"Morning dear" said Mrs Tohomiko as she walked out of her room.

"Morning mum" said Kimiko as she walked past her, "How's dad?"

"I don't know…" sighed Mrs Tohomiko as she shrugged her shoulders, "He's still a bit shocked about…You know…"

"Yeah…" sighed Kimiko "We were the same when we found out…"

She knocked on Ryan's door, no answer.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko as she poked her head around the door, Ryan's bed was empty. She walked into the room when she noticed the window was open. She looked out onto the balcony and saw Ryan meditating in the morning sun. She quietly approached him as he used his wind chi to support his body in the air. She was about to speak, when he raised his hand to silence her.

"Ykid tkursa zi xkuca, va yuta dufn tgussafxal; zgel el ifsn ifa iy zgad..." muttered Ryan, without turning around to face her, "Old Dragonise proverb"

"You okay?" said Kimiko as she moved near him, she walked into the column of air that was keeping Ryan off the floor.

"Sort of…" sighed Ryan as he looked at her, "How are you?"

"I'm okay…" sighed Kimiko as she put her arms around him; she felt his body crackle with static as he charged up his chi.

"What's going to happen today then?" said Ryan as he went back to his meditation.

"Nothing much" said Kimiko "We got that party tonight…"

"Oh, okay…" said Ryan "We can go to…What party?"

His chi became unbalanced as he turned towards her; this got rid of the column of wind, dumping Ryan on the floor.

"Kelko has invited us to a party" said Kimiko as she lent over Ryan, "And we're going to it tonight"

Ryan got to his feet and followed her back into his room. Kimiko was about to open the door, when Ryan put a hand on the door to stop her.

"Don't I get any say in this?" said Ryan as Kimiko turned to him. She giggled as she put her arms around him.

"Nope" said Kimiko as she kissed him, "This is for your own good, you haven't met any normal people, only dragons, evil geniuses and weirdo's like Jack"

Ryan sighed as Kimiko moved him away from the door.

"I think it would be nice if you meet some normal people of your age, like my friends" said Kimiko.

"Oh…Okay…" sighed Ryan as he hugged her back, "I'll do it…"

"Yay!" giggled Kimiko "I win!"

"Not for long…" said Ryan as he scooped her up in his arms and pinned her against the door, Kimiko giggled again as Ryan moved down to her neck and began kissing it.

"Okay! Okay!" giggled Kimiko as she pushed Ryan off her, "You win"

Ryan grinned as he lent near her ear and whispered softly.

"I will always win" whispered Ryan "That's because I know how you like it…"

Kimiko giggled again as she felt his hands around her waist.

"Remember…" giggled Kimiko "Hands off"

She made it harder for Ryan to resist her by making sure she moved her body, especially her butt, hypnotically as she walked out of the room, she winked at him as she disappeared through the door.

"Ahh…Kimiko…" sighed Ryan "What a girl…"
