AN: Hello ^ ^ lady-sess here with another chapter involving our favorite Bishounen, Ryuhou and his lady love ::winks:: Mimori. Just a word of warning, this part caused me a lot of trouble it actually took me longer than normal to produce it ::sighs:: but I finally did it. So I hope you like it. ::grins:: Now Ryuhou might seem to OOC but that's only thought wise, he'll still act IC for the time being.
This part was inspired while listening to a Garth Brooks song ::cheers:: found in his CD Scarecrow and if your wondering which one ^_^ it's Why Ain't I running, such a great song if I don't say so myself.
Now on with the story and like always please R x R.

Part 3
[Why am I not running from these emotions that her mere presence creates in me?] Thought Ryuhou, carefully making sure to keep his expression in check.
[Not that it was ever a problem. According to many I'm the master of that, after all.]
He continued to gaze at Mimori, who seemed to be enjoying her meal, even if she appeared a bit pensive at times.
[As is you didn't know the reason.] He mentally scoffed at himself.
[Still, she isn't like any woman I ever known-as far as normal women go. She's probably not even aware of what effect she has on me.] He thought ruefully, as he took another sip of his wine.
[I knew she was special from the first moment I met her. She wasn't afraid of what I was. Quite the contrary, she was the first woman aside from my mother, to ever show me an ounce of kindness. Most people were too afraid by what I was. An alter user. Not that they ever said anything to my face- they just avoided me.]
[But some still were afraid of him. Holy enforcer or not.]
[It's people like MP3228..no Kazuma, which gives Alter users a bad rep.] He thought darkly.
[Kazuma..] Just the mention of his name caused him to break out in sweat. Not in fear but in rage. It was Kazuma's foolish escape plan that nearly got Mimori killed during his escape, a few weeks back. [He most than likely would've killed him for what he did.and most than likely he had not been let his guard down.]
That moment would forever be engraved in his mind.
It was that moment when his defenses dropped leaving his emotions out in the open for all to see.
But thankfully, only Sherrice had noticed.
[Sherrice.]
[He hated to give her false hope that he would ever feel more than mere friendship for her.] ::Inwardly sighing:: [But, he had already given his heart to that little girl that he had met all those years ago. A little girl that had innocently asked him, if she could keep the chuck of crystal, that he had accidentally torn off with his abilities.]
He barely suppressed the smile that threatened to appear as he recalled the moment. [Had it been any other person they would have run screaming for their lives at that point. But not her. She definitely wasn't the kind to scramble off or be put off by any sign of danger. Quite the contrary, she would most than likely face it head on.]
[She's quite an amazing woman.]
He was so lost in his thoughts that he almost failed to notice that Mimori was gazing at him expectantly.
[Probably wondering why I haven't touched my food, more than likely.] He thought ruefully.
"Finished." He coldly stated, but inwardly winching at his behavior.
He knew that had his mother been alive she would have reprimanded him for his rudeness.
"Y...Yes." She stammered, her gaze slipping to the side.
"Good." He said, suddenly not hungry anymore. With a barely audible sigh he motioned to the waiter for the check.
[I'm sorry, that I can't express my feelings more. God knows I want to. But- I need to first put to rest my demons, before I allow myself to venture into a relationship with you...or anyone else.] He thought apologetically, while making sure too keep his stoic expression firmly in place.

*Back at hold- Just outside Mimori's Apartment*
"Well thank you again for the dinner, Ryuhou." Mimori hesitantly said as she fished into her purse for her keys.
She rooted around for a few seconds-and still no keys.
"Where are they?" She grumbled, as she began pulling stuff out of the said purse.
Out came a tube of lipstick, a few sticks of gum, some change-but no keys. Frustration began to set in by that point.
It was so strong that she almost considered upending her purse to find the keys, and too hell with the mess.
That however was unnecessary.
When with a cry of victory she produced the illusive keys.
"Ah-ha, here you are!!" Mimori crowed, as she pulled them out.
Unknown to her was Ryuhou's reaction to her actions.
Amusement flashed in his eyes for a fraction of a second before it disappeared-replaced once again by cold indifference.
"Well now that you found your keys, Ms. Kiryu. I leave you to rest." Ryuhou said, as he turned to go.
"Uh, Ryuhou..." Mimori began, gently biting her bottom lip. "Yes?" He asked, not bothering to turn around.
Mimori hesitated for a moment.
"-Nothing. Good night." She said, as she opened her door and disappeared into the sanctity of her apartment.
"Good night, my love." He whispered quietly, as soon as the door closed, then without a backward glance, left.
End of Part 3
AN: Well how was the ending. Good, Bad, So-So. ^ ^ Like I previously mentioned I was having lots of trouble with this part. ::sighs:: But I hope it came out alright. ^ ^ ;;
Now onto the reviews. ::Yay:: I got 3 reviews I'm so happy. ^ ^
Purplepoipal= Well I'm so glad that you liked it, and thanks for the compliment. ^ ^ I try to keep the characters as close to IC as I can but unfortunately I have to sometimes twitch their personalities in order for a story to work. You know I was pretty nervous when I first posted this fanfic. Since I didn't know if there were any Mimori/Ryuhou fans out there and now I'm so glad that I did.
BloodSinger= ::Yay:: Another Mimori/Ryuhou fan not to mention some else besides me that hates Sherrice..or is it Cherrise.. ^ ^ ;; she's got to many name variations. Well I have a surprise for you, if you hate Sherrice, she's gonna play a big part in this story and her ending is not going to be pretty. ::evil laughter:: Excuse me ::sheepish smile:: Thanks for your compliments they really made my day. Here's the next part just as ordered. ^ ^ Well now that I thanked those that reviewed I'm going back to put the final touches on the next part, which as luck would have it, is almost finished. T_T My work is never done. ::sighs::
Now a word of warning from here on out the story is gonna be a lot more serious and kind of darker than the previous 3 parts just thought I 'd let you know.
