TheDarkestShinobi: I'm back! This scene is Ryu and Ayane; set in the future (as in they're older)

This is random, completely random. So if you have imagined a scene and can't write it, or just would like me to you can review and ask for it, and I'll do my best. I don't think they will, but if they could fit into a story of mine let me know too cause I probably missed it lol.

If you like a scene please review for that scene and maybe I'll turn the scene with the most reviews into a story when I'm done with my other DOA stories.

A side note:

This is for my New Beginning readers. (If you're not a reader I invite you to read it lol, it's a personal favorite of mine) As most of you know it is (going to be) a long story and i was thinking of novelizing it. I have no idea if i will but if i do i need original names!! If you have a name for Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate, or RYU (the only ones i need to replace) LET ME KNOW!! PLEASE

and if i pick your name (regardless to whatever happens to the story) i will write a doa oneshot of your choice even if it's a pairing i don't like. (see, i'm desperate!!)

Scene 3.

Happy Ending

"Ayane Chan! Tell us a story!"

"Okay, okay" she laughed as she put down her niece. Kasumi had given birth to twins six years ago and they had been like her own children as well.

"Let me tell you about a kunoichi,"

"Like you and mommy?"

"Yes," Ayane paused as her hands fiddled in her lap "As you know, there is one legendary fighter that is famous for balance, the master of stealth, a shadow warrior who climbs walls, scales roofs and executes his mission undetected."

Ayane paused to build suspension and the two children sitting on the bed with her impatiently fidgeted.

"The ninja."

They both giggled and anyone shook her head slowly remembering the past and the pain, and how to make it a happy ending, she didn't have a happy ending.

"What's next Ayane Chan?"

Maybe she did. Maybe this was her happy ending. You didn't need everything in order to get a happy ending.

"Not as known as the ninja, were fighters of equal strength, the kunoichi-"

"Like I'm going to be?"

"Yes, Megumi, like you will be soon."

"And me?"

"You, Haku, will become a ninja."

"The first ninjas started training over 900 years ago." The children's eyes widened comically at such a large number. "They were the anti-samurai, for they were not bound by the samurai code of honor." The children nodded already knowing the Samurai code, as well as the ninja code. "Ninja did the dirty work that samurai could not like theft, espionage, and assassination." Both of the children silenced, "Legend says the ninja moves like a cat, nimble, flexible, silent, and always lands on his feet, and the legend is true."

Ayane found herself with a lapful of children and she lowered her head slightly, how come Kasumi got the children and the love of her life, even now, years later, she still envied her half-sister.

"There was a man-no-a legendary ninja that everyone knew about, his name was Hayabusa Ken and his life was filled with blessings." The children looked to each other; it was Ryu Chan's father. "His son, however, had seemed to be cursed, because everything and everyone he loved was taken from him. As a little boy he trained fiercely leaving no time to make friends, only enemies, when his training was nearing completion he had left for a short journey. Then a kunoichi was sent after him-"

"To kill him?!" As if she could ever harm him, she shook her head.

"No Haku, to deliver a message to him, but the message nearly killed him; the message was that his village was attacked." The look on Ryu's face when she told him would never be erased from her mind "he left and raced home, and she followed him, hiding. She would send him weapons but she would never lay a hand on his enemies, for it was his revenge."

"What happened?"

"He was killed, slashed by the very same monster that destroyed his clan, but, miraculously, a falcon was sitting on the branch of a tree next to him took pity on him."

"Oohh" Megumi moved closer to Ayane who shifted the children to pass the time, so she could think of what to say, Kasumi would not be happy if the story was too bad, after all, Kasumi was never one for the ninja life.

"The Falcon brought the ninja back to life."

"Did he kill the bad guy for a happy ending?" Haku asked as he rolled off of Ayane imitating a ninja holding a sword, Ayane noted that his feet were way too close and his grip needed to be looser, even if it's just around the air. Ryu would be able to help him with that.

"Yes he did."

"Was the Kunoichi there to help him?"

"The entire time, even after her mission was complete.

"Why?"

Ayane took a breath and looked up.

"Because she had fallen in love with him."

"Ninja are not allowed to fall in love Ayane; you shouldn't tell the children stories about such love." She froze at that voice, her insides seem to melt away and her throat dried, she looked to the children.

"Go to Okaasan okay?" She hugged Megumi who kissed her cheek and then Haku who hugged her tightly before whispering in her ear.

"I hope you get a happy ending in your story too."

The two children ran away and Ayane turned to Ryu who was taking off his mask.

"I'm sure Kasumi teaches them other things against the code, she is a nukenin."

"Was a nukenin; unless you banish her again."

"I would miss the children too much."

"She is strict with them about everything, including things even my parents did not. She wants them to be perfect, never to die, never to weaken,"

"Never to Love never to feel…"

"What is wrong Ayane?"

She paused and turned to him completely.

"How long were you listening to me!"

How could he walk in, in the middle of what could be a confession of love and not say anything to her?

"Everything, I love you too."

The Ayane of today smiled and was ready to hug and kiss him but the Ayane of yesterday seemed to awake from a slumber. Her face then set itself in stone.

"You words mean nothing to me; it is too easy to lie with them."

Ayane had been pulled out of the field when she was 23, a mere two years ago, when she had foolishly abandoned her team to save Ryu, no one had died, but it was an error in judgment and the leader of the Hajin Mon could never have an error in judgment. Since then she had settled down and gotten to know Kasumi's children even better and has come to desire a family of her own.

She had gotten softer and weak, not in skill, for she practiced everyday, but at heart. Two years ago she would've killed her own children if it was to benefit her clan, and 10 years ago she was hunting her sister to kill her for the clan, now she was teaching the next generation about love.

Ryu's eyes seemed to darken slightly at the tone she used and the words she spoke, somehow they had sounded like the Ayane he did love, and felt he could love. Ryu was not a man strong at heart, he had fallen for Rachel, Irene, Moegi, and even Kasumi, but he was a master at restraint. He had told Irene of his love and married her, then she was killed and he fell in love with Rachel, who reminded him that ninja could not love, so he let her be. Then there was Moegi, he had only told Ayane of his love for her, she was killed before he had even considered telling her.

The next and longest love was Kasumi, who had helped him to simply feel again, she was so innocent and pure, and that's what stopped him. It was obvious to anyone who would look that he did love her, but that he couldn't. There were many reasons. First and foremost, she was a missing Nin of a clan he had sworn alliance with. Secondly, she was almost a decade younger. Thirdly, she was his best friend's, the leader of the Mugen Tenshin's, sister. Fourthly, he was tainted and she was not, she had never wanted to kill, and he didn't care about killing, he was black and her white, it would never work. Ryu however took it upon himself to protect her from everything, even after Hayate asked him to kill her, which Hayate was thankful for when the ordeal had ended.

Then he noticed in the corner was a woman who should not have been hard to miss, Ayane, with her purple hair and ensemble. She was there for him since the very beginning and she had never asked for anything back. She did not regard him for anymore or any less than he was. They had always been equals. It was something he was not used too, and something he enjoyed. She had been there when he died, and when he was born again.

Like many times before he had felt the connection, but this one was slower to form, but much stronger, perhaps he had never loved the other women, just Ayane. He had never told her out of fear, would she reject him? Would she meet an untimely end? He had then tried to approach her two years ago when she was taken out of the field but she had changed. She was happy. She was somehow leaving all her corruption behind and purifying herself. He wouldn't stop her.

Now he finds out she had loved him too.

"Nothing to say to me after all this time?"

Her hands found their place on her waist and her waist tilted; it was an action that was foreign to her now, but commonplace before. Ryu looked into her eyes and took a step closer.

"I could explain everything but you wouldn't believe me."

"That's true."

"But I do love you; you are the only one I've ever loved."

"Like Irene was, or Rachel, perhaps you mean Moegi, no, it's that wonderful perfect sister of mine, isn't it?"

"You're back…" Ayane raised an eyebrow in question when he had closed most of the distance between them.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're not Ayane the aunt anymore, but Ayane the Kunoichi." His arms grabbed her shoulders softly.

"Ayane The Kunoichi?" her voice rose in anger "This kunoichi saved your life endless times, and was there for you when…"

As she continued she pushed him towards the wall and when he spun to avoid it she had swept him and knocked him onto the floor.

"That's just, 'Ayane The Kunoichi' to you!"

Before she could inflict anymore damage he kicked his legs out so that she fell down onto him and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Let me go."

"Not this time."

"I'm not your 'Ayane The Kunoichi' I'm not happy with that anymore, I want a family and a home!"

"Then let me give it to you."

"NO!" She struggled to get free and kneed his thigh, but he had simply moved in such a say that he pinned her from under her. She became frantic but he remained calm letting her exhaust herself.

"You can't just walk back into my life now and expect me to accept your love!"

"I never expected to, but hearing you speak, it made me realize my mistake, and you say you love me too."

"Loved, it's in the past!"

"I'm going to let you slip away too."

"Too! Don't you see I can't constantly be compared to your other loves! I need you to love me, only me! I'm selfish! I want all your love for me!"

"Then let me give it to you."

Ayane stopped fighting and squirming for a few seconds to let Ryu's words digest. She rested her head on his chest as she panted.

"You really love me?" It came out as a whimper,

"Yes, I have for years."

"What's my favorite food?"

"You have a fondness for grape juice and Marron Glaces."

"Favorite animal?"

"Swallowtail butterfly, that's why it was on your dress, the one with the giant bow."

"Favorite color?"

"Dark purple or navy blue, you seem to like them both equally."

"When's my birthday"

"August 5"

"What are my hobbies?"

"You love reading to the children, and spending time with them, you still train everyday, you love treating yourself to beauty products that you don't need."

"Blood type?" Ayane asked desperately, he needed to get something wrong, he couldn't know everything about her.

"AB"

"How do you know that?"

"Years ago in the DOATEC lab I found your blood sample, along with Hayate's. When I destroyed them I missed Kasumi's."

"Do you really love me?" Ayane looked up into Ryu's eyes and his grip on her loosened.

"Yes."

They didn't kiss, they didn't speak. Ayane simple rested her head on his chest as he shifted slightly so that he was no longer restraining her and Ayane couldn't help but think that she had to thank Haku and tell him that kunoichi had finally gotten her happy ending.
