My Savior

chapter thirteen

"Ok Papa everything seems to be normal." I say while I hover my hand glowing green over him. I make sure I do this every morning before I leave for work.
"Thank you Rina."he says getting out of bed. I nod at him and pick up after myself.
"Do you plan on going out today." I ask him, but he shakes his head. We say our goodbyes and I head out the door before he can remember that Yuuma was suppose to come by. I bump into him not much time after.
"Good morning." He smiles at me.
"Good morn- what's wrong you look like you couldn't sleep. Don't tell me that movie actually scared you." I tease him, but he had dark circles around his eyes.
"Nooo." He yawns covering his mouth,
"I was up composing something." I got excited when he said that.
"Really will you show me." He shakes his head
"Not yet, when I'm done with it I will." He smiles at me and I smirk.
" You sure Yuuma, because if you were scared " I tease him.
"I wasn't scared." He deadpans
"What ever you say " I continue to tease him.
We continue to talk and we finally reached our destination.
"ah were here." I signal him to stop and he looks at the store.
"Clothes shopping." He says in a bored tone,
"I'll told you it was boring." I smiled him and walk into the store.
"Welcome ah Rina-sama how are you." The kind grey haired women greats me with a bow.
"Oh hello, how is your husband doing." I realized I treated her husband and returned the bow.
"Doing great thanks to you. Who is this." She realizes I didn't come alone and look between me and Yuuma.
"My friend Yuuma." I tell her hoping she would believe me.
"Nice to meet you Yuuma-san. Welcome to my shop." She bows at him and he returns it. She turns to me me and asks,
"Can I help you with anything."
"I came by to buy a kimono." He face lights up,
"Oh for the fall festival I see. Wait here I have the best one for you in the back." She walks into the back. I turn to Yuuma and he raising a eyebrow at me
"Rina-sama? what are you not telling me."
"I'm actually studying medical ninjutsu and I treated her husband" I say shyly hoping he doesn't overreact.
"Ninjutsu, you mean shinobi!" His face went pale and was about to say something else, but I raise my hand and cut him off,
" it's not like that, I just study medical ninjutsu to help my father's health. That's why he is alot better now. I also treat others from time to time that's why they call me sama. Don't be afraid im not fighting or swore an oath to protect any village. This is just between me and the town, so please don't say anything about this to people outside this town." He looks relief and leans back on the wall,
"Don't worry I won't say anything, so who taught you."
"Myself I have someone to supply the scrolls and the town's people let me treat them for practice. I've gotten pretty good at it." I say with pride.
"Here you go, do you want to try it on." She comes back with a box grinning ear to ear. I nod at her and look towards Yumma.
"I'll be here." He shrugs his shoulders, giving him a nod I follow her into the changing rooms. Once we were both in the room I finish undressing myself and let her dress me.
"Rina-sama is that who I think he is." She says with the same grin on her face.
"Huh" I give her a confused look.
"Is he taking you to the fall festival." She says. My eyes widened I was going to tell her I was going with someone else,but then she will ask who and I don't want anyone to know about Tobi. Like he said it could be dangerous.
"Not exactly." I choose to tell her hoping she doesn't ask for more information.
"Mmhhm, don't worry your secret is safe with me." She tells me I let out a awkward laugh.
"Hehe um ok." While on the inside I was relieved she didn't keep asking questions.
"All done. There a mirror outside if you want to see for yourself." I nod and open the door to see myself. I feel in love with it. It was a simple white kimono with purple, white, and pink flowers at the bottom of it and sleeves. I turn to her,
"How much?" I ask.
"No charge it's the least I can do." She tells me. My eyes widened and I shake my head at her.
"I can't accept this, please it looks expensive." She just shakes her head
"It's fine you look beautiful." I knew she wasn't going to let me pay for it. Then I got an idea,
"Well, can you at least give it to me with a reasonable discount." She looks at me debating with herself then finally says,
" I guess I can do that. Do you want to show Yuuma-san." I nod and I walk outside. I find him humming a unfamiliar tune.
"How do I look?" I got his attention, He stiffens ans just stares at me.
"......umm"
"It looks wired." I tell him
"No! ..... Quiet the other way around." He tells me.
"Really." I light up.
"Yeah." He gives me a loving smile. I turn to the owner
"I'll take it." I look at the owner she has a big smirk on her face and nods to me. I look down at it admiring the design.
"Say Rina." He walks up to me.
"Yeah?" I look up and try to find the time.
"So, this fall festival I was wondering..." Once I find a clock I noticed it was late.
"Oh no! it's late I have to get to work." I turn to the elderly woman.
"Come here I'll help you take it off." I fallow her to the changing rooms. She helps me take it off and walks out letting me some privacy to put my clothes on. Once I finish I walk out.
"I'll come buy and pick it up tomorrow." I tell her and bow.
"It is no problem Rina-sama." She returns the smile.
"Thank you." I turn to Yuuma and give him an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, see you later." He just nods and I ran my way to the restaurant.
***
"Sooooooooo." Manami asks me with a smirk.
"What?" I ask clueless making her roll her eyes at me.
"What do you mean what, tell me about your date." She claps excited
"It wasn't a date." I tell her. She stops clapping and shakes her head.
"What ever you want to call it, spill it." I just lift my shoulders
"We just went to the movies and went to eat after." She deadpans and sighs
"What movie did you see, did he try anything, did he pay, details details." She got closer to my face egarely. I just laugh and step back.
"We just went to watch a horror film. No he didn't try anything, we ate ramen and he walked me home that's it. Honestly why do people think we are dating." She pouts at me for not giving more details. Then she answers my question,
"Because you dont just be friends with someone who looks like that. How come you never told me anything about him before?" I stiffen and chuckle nervously
"Well....". I tell her everything. About Yuuma, Ame, about the bullying and she was red with rage at the end of everything.
"I'm going to kill him, thats it he is a dead man He hurts you and I'm going to find that bitch and she is going down. Do you think lady chouko will give me some shinobi weapons. Nevermind I don't want to get my own hands dirty, how much do you think bounty hunters charge." I was getting nervous sure I hate the bitch, but killing her.
"See why I didn't want to tell you anything." She then gives me a look as if i was the crazy one.
"But he broke your fucken heart and didn't believe you. My Kami Rina and you forgave him, don't tell me you still love him." She lifts both brows at me. I shake my head,
"What. No. I mean yes, but it's a different kind of love. Like the love I have for you, a friend." She then crosses her arms,
"Well ok as long as he apologized. Are you planning to go to the fall festival with him. " I shake my head at her.
"No I already told you I'm not going." She rolls her eyes at me and uncrosses her arms.
"Look even if I dont like what he did to you. I saw the way he looks at you. That's love Rina." Now it was my turn to look at her like a crazy person and shake my head in disagreement,
"What do you mean, he doesn't feel like that for me."
"Look say what you will, I know what I saw Rina when he came by yesterday and asked you to go with him. It's the same look Haru gives me."
"I don't think so." I shrug my shoulders at her. Manami is probably just seeing things there's no way Yuuma has that sort of feelings for me.
"Think about it, you deserve to be loved, but if he tries anything like that again, I will have his head on a platter got it." She gives me a serious look letting me know that she wasn't kidding. I just laugh nervously
"Hehe alright."
***
Yuuma and I we're at a restaurant with the paino again. When he came by to pick me up from work the look on his face when Manami told him off was priceless. He look so terrified and kept looking at me to save him from her. I laugh at him
"Manami-san is scary, but I'm glad she very protective of you and not like another you know who." He tells me. I giggle at him and pop another mochi in my mouth.
"Don't worry once you get use to her you will see she is a big sweetheart. She crazy at times, but she means well." I tell him. He just nods at me and takes a big breath.
"Rina"
"Yeah?" I ask wondering why he is all serious all of a sudden.
"Umm the fall festival...." He ask nervously while scratching his cheek.
"What about it?" I ask clueless on where he was going with it.
"I was wondering if-" he got cut off by the owner of the restaurant coming up to us,
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Rina-sama the hospital called and they need you right away. They say it's urgent." My eyes widened and nod at him.
"Please tell them I'll be right over for me." He nods and leaves.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go." I get up and begin to take my wallet out.
"Don't worry I'll pay Rina-sama" Yuuma teases me. I just ignore him and place the cost of my meal on the table. I give him a hug goodbye and rush to the hospital.
***
"So you saved a little girls life." Yuuma says impressed what I told him. We were taking a walk in the park. Since it was my day off we hung out all day together.
"Kinda. They hospital just calls me when they do a life threatening procedure. I only stop her from bleeding out and helped heal her scar she deserved less pain as possible."
" But you did save her life. Your amazing you know that." I smile at the compliment. He then sits on a bench and I sit next to him. Enjoying the view of the trees and sound of the birds I was pulled out of it when Yumma grab my hand. I quickly looked at him.
"Rina do you want to go with me to the fall festival." He tells me. My eyes widened and my heart starts beating nervously. No don't do this to me I think to myself. I give his hand a squeeze and take a big breath,
"Umm ....Yuuma"
"Yeah" he leans closer to me. I'm going to hate doing this.
"I'm sorry." His face fell when I told him.
"I'm already going with someone else." Tobi pops into my head.
"Your boyfriend." I shake my head and pull my hand away from his.
"No." I say quietly, but I hope Tobi will be one day.
"Who?" He says.
"I asked him to go with me it would be wrong of me if I cancelled" I didn't want to be specific.
"Oh ok." He says quietly. The once fun atmosphere was now awkward. I get up and face him.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to go." I was about to walk away but he grabbed my wrist I look at him.
"Wait." He look like he was about to say something, but he just lets out a breath and let's go of my wrist.
"Never mind." He gets up from the bench and walks away. I hope he didn't want to say what i think he wanted to because I don't know which is worse. Getting heartbroken or breaking someone else's.
