Her worry was clear upon her flawless facade, and a pang of guilt jolted through Ryuu. He should have never agreed to moving in with her - he was a hazard to her health, what with the enemies he made in his profession. Stopping evil doers had its pros and cons - this was one of the cons. Ryuu honestly could have cared less about his own health, but hers... His gaze hardened, knees buckling at the thought of her body laying helplessly on the ground, mangled and ruthlessly beaten... He shook his head, refusing to think such things.
"People are coming for us... for me..." he murmured to her, studying her confused expression with a sorrowful gaze. Hopelessness was evident in his eyes, hidden in his words - quiet and spoken with care, trying not to worry her. Everything would be fine... Why could his old confidence not return at a time like this? The situation was so serious and he needed to lighten it up so as not to scare the beauty before him (who, for the record, wore a red bikini to tan). Frowning, the petite woman - only twenty-five or so while he was a mere twenty-six - grabbed a black jacket from the chair she had once been sitting on. Her long tail - a mixture of red and white that matched with her hair slightly, making it quite obvious that she wasn't just human but something more - twitched, Ryuu noticed, and she replied, "Let's... let's go... inside." She shoved him gently into the cool home (which seemed quite hot with the green-haired man's evident anger and frustration). The storm door shut with a metallic clang, but the other door remained open - and Ryuu watched, one Pokeball in hand, ready to protect her with all he had.
"You should leave," he murmured in a steady tone although his gaze flickered about in search of anything suspicious. After he spotted nothing notable, he looked into her eyes - although his visage revealed no emotion, appearing hard and stony and cold, his eyes were different. The sapphire irises seemed to sparkle slightly, passionate and livid with fury - fury that they were coming, fury that he had to waste their day with these tense words. His lips twitched slightly, and it was now evident on his facade that he was sorry - sorry he was not the kind of person she needed to live with to live a simple life. "If anyone asks where I am, say I left you... Say that I told you I hate you." His words were hushed - no one could hear of his plan except her. "Don't look for me... I may have to go in hiding for awhile." He searched her eyes for any emotion other than fear... something that would assure him that she didn't hate him. There was something in her eyes, something that seemed to say 'I'll miss you' - he sighed sadly, his arms wrapping around her thin body to hold her tightly, his lips kissing her forehead. "I won't let them hurt you, Rain... I'll die before that happens." She gasped before burying her face into his light gray vest. The slight shaking of her body notified Ryuu that she was crying. His kissed the top of her head now, grip loosening. Their time was running out. "Go, Rain. Stay safe..." Rain nodded feebly, turning and stepping out of the house. Once outside, she ran in the direction of the little town on the island, glancin gback at Ryuu with tears in her eyes.
