(To Kenji returning home.)

Yuki: Hello Kenji welcome home.

Kenji: It's good to be home.

(They walked him to the couch.)

Umeko: Are you thirsty or hungry?

(Kenji nods and say.)

Kenji: Some water and a sandwich?

Umeko: Okay honey.

(She and Aio walked into the kitchen.)

Aio: Hey Umeko?

(She turned to her.)

Umeko: Yes?

(Aio looked down.)

Aio: This battle almost took my brothers life yesterday night, and you know if we fail in killing the Myuiki family, then they will have to take our land.

(Umeko frowned.)

Umeko: So that means me and my mothers home will be gone.

(Aio nods.)

Aio: Yeah it will..... But that's not the only reasion we are fighting the Myuiki family....

(Umeko frowned harder.)

Umeko: What's the other reasion?

Aio: Cause Kenji loves you..... And the reason he fought that demon was cause..... He wanted to come back to you. He didn't want that thing coming after you.

Umeko: But....I love Kenji too but he could have died yesterday night.... I would never forgive myself if that happens.

Aio: That's why we're fighting..... The way of the suna family is that if you love some thing you must protect it.

Umeko: But I don't want him to die.....but....

Aio: It's not up to you Umeko but Umeko.... The job of the suna family is for us to love, protect, and provide.

Umeko: I- I know that....

Aio: Then you can't stop what the fate of this family has decided.

Umeko: okay....

(To Yuki and Kenji.)

Yuki: So Kenji,

(Kenji looked at Yuki.)

Kenji: Yes aunt Yuki?

(She sat next to him and said....)

Yuki: How does it feel to be back home?

Kenji: Its better then the hospital.

Yuki: I know that is for sure.

(That's when Umeko and Aio walked in to the liven room.)

Umeko: (thinking to self) so it's not up to me if I say something to Kenji about fighting, he's gonna have to do it any way. ( She handed him the plate an sat his cup on the table.)

Kenji: (Smiling at Umeko and she smiled smilling back.) Thank you honey.

Umeko: (leaning in for a kiss and so did Kenji, they kissed.) Mmmm.

(They parted.)

Kenji: Wow you really love my kisses.

(Umeko blushed.)

Umeko: Just eat you're sandwich.

(They laughed out.)

(Later that night.)

Kenji: You going home now?

Umeko: Yeah, I have to make dinner for my mother.

Kenji: Okay if you must but you always must know I love you okay?

(They were standing by the door.)

Umeko: I know honey can I have a kiss before I go?

(Kenji laughs out.)

Kenji: Sure Bea.

(They kissed long and full of passion then parted.)

Umeko: I'll be back tomorrow okay?

(Kenji nods and watches as she leaves.)

Kenji: (Thinking to self.) Damn I really love her, she's my everything and more.

(He closed the door and headed up to his room.)

(To Umeko walking home.)

Umeko: Its the Suna's job to protect, provide and love, I know that but why am I feeling uneasy about this.... I know I must let his family handle this but I'm worried that he won't come back to me.

(She turned the corner to her block.)

(She flashed back to what Aio said.)

Aio: Its the Suna's job to provide protect and love, Kenji is only doing what the family motto is telling him to do, I'm sorry if it makes it sound like he don't love you but he dose and that's why he is doing this for you're safety and love.

(Umeko come back to the present as she unlocked the house door.)

Umeko: We promised each other that once this is over we'll get married and live our life to the fullest and never look back.

(She walked in to the house and sat her stuff down and begin to wash her hands to start cooking dinner.)

(At the same time she flashed back to the time with Kenji in her house.)

Kenji: I'm a nonhuman i have to kill people.....I don't want to kill people.

(She smiles at that thought.)

Umeko: Always a lover not a fighter.

(She heard the door open and her mom walk in.)

???: Umeko you home yet?

Umeko: Yes mother I'm making you're dinner.

???: Thank you but you didn't have to, you could have stayed with Kenji tonight,

Umeko: Mother he needs his rest and I'll only be a bother  him.

(Her mother walked into the kitchen.)

???: Yeah but in times like these he's gonna need you're support and love to heal his wounds.

(Umeko turned and said.)

Umeko: I know that mother.

(Her mother smiled, and says.)

???: You're very lucky to be getting married to a man like Kenji, he's sweet kind and a gentlemen, he is also a protective man so you have everything you could ever have in a man, plus he's a great fighter, and probably good  in bed too.

(Her mom winked and Umeko blushes bright red.)

Umeko; M- mother its not about sex.

???: It will be when y'all move in together, and when y'all want kids.

Umeko: But that's in the future not now.

(Her mom smiled and say....)

Umeko: Sure I can do that.

(Her mom nod and blows a kiss and Umeko smiles.)
