Marco was slowly waking up and was trying to figure out why he was in so much pain? "Where am I…" He asked no one, but got an answer somehow.
"You're right where you should be…" He looked over to the woman that was sitting on his bed.
"Asu… Asuka? IS THAT YOU?!" He sat up and grabbed his chest in pain.
The Jinko laughed at him, "Take it easy… you're still injured. You're not the only person that has made that mistake…"
He can't stop staring at the woman giving him a wide smile, "No… is… is that you… Yuki?"
She nodded her head at him, "I thought you forgot all about me… seeing how long you had taken…"
Yuki looked just like Asuka, but younger with shoulder length hair. The blue eyes should have told him that this wasn't his Asuka. He places his right hand over her check "Yuki…?"
"How many times are you planning to say my name Marco?" She really didn't care and wanted him to hold her more like this and her hand was placed on top of his..
Faye walked in with a bowl of hot soup and a bottle of wine for him, "You look like you haven't aged a day Reaper!" He reached for the food but Yuki grabbed it.
"I'll take care of you…" Her cheeks went red.
"I could say the same about you… how long has it been?" His state of shock was fading away, but was still having a hard time with all this.
"It's been long enough, let's just keep it at that for now. Your number one fan never gave up on you!" She looks at her daughter as she blows on the spoon.
"Things… have been rough on me… I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner…" He didn't want to go into details just yet.
"That will happen when you end up in someone's front yard with almost all your ribs broken!" Yuki placed the spoon to his lips.
Flashback
"GET AWAY FROM HIM YUKI, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS!?" Faye was running as fast as she could.
"MAMA… it's really Marco… look at the scar!" Faye just needed to take one sniff to know it was him.
"Oh my goodness, grab his things and let's get him into the house!" They dragged him into the house and placed him on top of the kitchen table.
"What do we do nama? He looks like he's hurt real bad?" Yuki was worried she was going to lose him as soon as he showed up.
Her mother ran to her room and then back into the kitchen, "Give me your hands!" Faye pulled out a lotion bottle and pours some onto Yuki's hands.
"Cover his whole chest in that and I'll go get something to wraps for him!" Faye left Yuki alone with him again.
Her whole face became madly red with steam ready to fire out her ears. Slowly her hands started to works his chest feeling every scar and down to his tight abs, then working the ribs as he grunted every time she dug in deeper.
"Oh, Marco… how I've dreamed of this day!" She started to drool feeling his bare hot body on her hands and started to work her hands lower down his stomach. Marco didn't have time to tighten his belt… or for underwear, his body naturally reacted to the contact.
Yuki's eyes shot open getting a sneak peek of his Johnson coming out to say hello. Her hands kept going lower until she was able to get a good hand full of it.
"Okay, pick up his upper body and I'll take care of the back." Her mother walked in and Yuki's body tensed up tight.
"GRRRRRR…!" Marco's eyes popped open feeling a new pain on his best friend being choked to death.
"BE CAREFUL! He's in a lot of pain!" Faye didn't see what was going on, but wasn't dumb when she saw how low his pants were. "Oooooh…"
"…Yes… mama…" The younger Jinko's face was a mixed of scared shitless and happy as hell.
"You pull his arms and I'll push his back." Together they had him sitting up as Yuki wrapped her arms under his and pulled him tight.
"God I've missed you so much…" She smiled with her eyes closed ready to start crying for joy.
"I'm not sure if missing him is the only thing you been doing young lady…" Faye was disappointed with her daughter taking advantage of the state he was in.
Busted… Yuki was caught, "I… I…"
"We'll talk about that later, right now, we need to get him patched up." She just smiled knowing the young woman was just glad he was back.
Flashback Over
"So… what was that stuff? My body feeling kinda numb… and other areas?" Yuki kept feeding him as her and mother's faces went red.
"I wouldn't worry about it… it will help you heal faster… now how in the world did you end up like this at our front door mister?" Faye placed her hands on her hips trying to change the subject.
"… it was bad… I rather not talk about it right now…" They could see now that his eyes were just as black when he first moved in.
"We understand… you're more than welcome to stay as long as you want…" Faye knew it had to be as bad when he lost Asuka.
"I can take care of you now!" Yuki gave him a wide smile.
"Okay…" He just smiled back at her.
…
"HEY, you still have the red hoodie!" Marco was happy to see her have it still wrapped up like a cape.
"Well you did tell me, you would always be right behind me when I wore it…" She was happy he remembered it.
"Yuki… how long have I been gone? How old are you?" He knew with as long he's been gone, none of them should be alive.
The room got quite, "I'm 22 now." Her whole face was red and she didn't know why.
"11 years? But… that's not right?" Marco was confused as she shoved a spoon into his mouth.
"Mama said not to worry about that right now, just rest, okay!" She smiled at him just like she did as a kid.
"Sure thing… Yuki…" She looked so much like Asuka, that it scared him, but he was able to separate them with the short hair and blue eyes.
"You look better with your hair shorter, wonder where that idea came from?" He raised one eyebrow.
"She cut it a little after you left, talk about a bad few months!" Faye looked off to the side as Yuki looked down at the soup.
"Show me what you can do!" He was looking dead at the young woman.
"What?" She didn't hear that right, did she?
"I feel better now so let's go a few rounds!" He stood up tall then felt a draft…
"Where are my pants ladies?" Why would they be missing anyway?
They gave a nervous smile at each other, Yuki was the one to tell him as she looked him up and down, "It's… *cough* hanging… over there." She points at the headboard.
He then placed them on quickly and left the room, "Today Yuki…" He barked at her from the hallway.
Her mother just smiled as her daughter went to follow him.
They walked outside and faced each other, "First hand to hand, it is the basis of all combat, only a fool trusts his life with a weapon!" When was the last time he said that?
"Should I take it easy on you?" Yuki rolled her eyes at him and putting on a tough guy show for her.
He was looking Yuki up and down and saw his boot knife, "That must have been the weapon I saw last night?"
"I might be hurt, but I've been training with some little monsters back home…" He then got into his stance.
"I sure hope they're as good as I use to be!" She had his same stance.
"You would love them!" He came in with a fast attack low to the ground on its way to an uppercut. She crossed her arms in an X to protect her face, but then felt a foot smashed into her stomach and rolled on the ground a few feet.
"REAPER!? Take it easy on her!" Faye didn't like that.
"I'M OKAY MAMA, let me guess… never anticipate what the other guy is going do?" That was one of his rules to fighting.
"You read my mind!" He returned back into his stance.
It was her turn to come in and she didn't disappoint him. They went back and forth for about an hour before the swords came out. He was surprised on how much of his training stuck with her, but she had a few new tricks.
"We should take a break… your starting to bleed from your mouth…" She was worried he was pushing himself too hard. Even with him operating at 30%, she was having a hard time staying on top of the fight.
"Sounds to me your ready to throw in the towel!" He tightens his grip on the handle and placed the blade in front of him.
"OH REALLY!?" She came in with all she had, the swords started to make small sparks as they made contact.
He placed his weapon up to block his left upper body, but her sword destroys his and reopened the scar she gave him on his face all those years ago.
This time she didn't drop her weapon, Marco was barely able to move his head out the way before her last attack. They looked at each other as they breathed deeply and then to his broken sword. Before she could say anything, he slammed his palm into her chest making her fall over and raising the foot with the knife into the air.
In a flash, it was in his hands as he landed between her legs and the knife at her throat, "Anything can happen out there… never forget that Yuki!"
Her hands were over her head and his sweat was dripping on her face, she rolled on top of him taking the knife from him and placing it on his throat, "I had a great master… and never forgot my training!"
They smiled and she got up and pulled him up, "I guess my sword was getting old..." He picked up the handle and looked back at it.
"… I'm… really-" She didn't mean to do that, but she lost her temper.
"Don't be… I'm proud of you… now help me with dressing my wound." He threw the sword as the blade hit the ground standing up with her pulling his free arm around the back of her neck.
Later That Night
"Marco… I got something made for you a few years after you left… it's been waiting for you every since." Marco was sitting on the front porch of the house watching the rain coming down and drinking wine right out the bottle.
"Oh yeah? Well, don't keep me waiting!" He got up and almost fell into the wall.
"I've never seen you this way… something really bad must of happened?" Yuki was worried about him.
"Don't worry about that… come on!" He gave her his right hand and the other covered his eyes.
She laughed at him, "You don't need to do that!"
"I know… but this makes it more fun for me!" They walked into the living room as she giggle some more.
"Okay… wait here." She ran off into her bedroom.
"Sure thing!" His upper body swayed in the air a little felling the booze.
…
Yuki walked out with a skinny box as tall as her, "Ummmm this use to look a lot bigger when I was a kid… open your eyes!"
Marco dropped his hand, "… it's a big ass box? How did you know I always wanted one?"
Her right hand twitched as she held up to the box, then leaned it on the sofa and punched the top of his head, "DUMMY… open it!"
He was rubbing the sore area, "Only if you help?"
In no time the box was gone and he was holding a massive red and black scythe.
(Let's make this easier on you and me… Google a picture on RWBY's scythe. It looks just like that, but without the rifle part.)
The blade had his name on one side and the other was Yuki's, "It's… amazing…" It stood as tall as him, but was perfectly balanced as he spinned it a few times in his hands.
"I got it just for you… Reaper…" That was the first time she called him by that... and it gave him chills.
Okay… so I and ADdude were talking today and he made a few great points. He feels that I'm jumbling this story that was mainly about Marco becoming a father… now it's mostly about him and this war. I feel he's an 110% right with this comment.
Yuki might have been a bit much, but I wanted to give a solid foundation on why he liked that name. Her looking like a younger Asuka was… I was talking to someone about how she look and now I can't find the messages, but It was planned.
Let me know how you guys feel about all this. I feel like I'm building more onto the story, but I could also understand how it can be seen as two different stories seeing how light and fluffy it was at the beginning.
Now it's a horror show, but I'm really happy how it is. Things will get lighter when Asuka is gone for good... then it will get way darker.
Tell me if this is a good idea or just wrap it up with the wedding.
Thanks guy and don't forget to leave a review!
