My Savior

chapter fifthteen

I Woke up with Obi the Bear wrapped around my arms and a gaint grin on my face. I turn to lay on my back and remembering last night's events. The feelings of his lips on mine made be melt. Just remembering made me feel bubbly.
"I will wait for you Tobi, no matter what." I say to myself. Giving my teddy bear one last squeeze I spring out of bed. I have never been a morning person, but I couldn't sleep another minute, I just wanted to see him again. I changed out of my pajamas and into my training clothes. I go into the restroom to clean myself up, I saw my grin that reached ear to ear in my reflection.  Giving myself one last appearance check I walked out of the bathroom. Making sure my kunai and shuriken were properly sharp I tuck them away in my pouch. I made sure I took my storage scroll that had all my training supplies with me to the kitchen, not feeling really hungry I just grab a sweet bread, apple and water bottle. I seal it into my scroll and exit my home headed towards the bamboo forest. I begin humming a upbeat tune to express what I am feeling. Once I got to my training spot I walk over to the boulders and begin eating. Once I was done eating and stretching I go to the end of the field to begin my morning run. I was on my 15th lap when I felt his charka near by. I smiled and quicken my pace finding this new energy in me.
"Someone is a good mood." He says while running next to me. I look at him and give him a gaint grin.
"Yeah I wonder why." I continue to run with a grin still on my face. I hear him chuckle and continue to run next to me.
"You joining me on training today?" I ask when I noticed that he continued to run next me.
"I already did my training. I'm just joining you so I don't slow you down." I never saw Tobi train, he would read scrolls and says he trains, but I always wanted to see it. He is way more advance than me I knew that for sure. I just nod my head and continue to run. Once I was finished my warm ups I go into aiming and combat with Tobi finally here to spar with me.

"You have to remember just because you're throwing senbon at you opponent, that they won't throw anything back." He says blocking every senbon and throwing multipul shuriken at me. I jump out of the way of the raining shuriken, only to step on a ninja wire setting off a smoke bomb trap. I couldn't see anything through the smoke. Pulling out my kunai I rely on my sensing skills. Once I got a feel of his presence I threw multiple senbon at that direction and jump out of the smoke. Trying to sense where he was, I realized he was coming to quick from behind me. I turn and throw more senbon at him some did hit, but not even close to his nerve points I was aiming for, he then turn into a log, before I could sense his next move he had a kunai pointed to my spine.
"Shit." I say in defeat.
"There's still alot you need to improve on." He puts his kunai away from my spine. I turn to him out of breath waiting for him to give me what I did right and wrong. He puts his kunai away and crosses his arms and begins.
"You need working on aiming your senbons, you always have to be aware of your surroundings, don't inhale the smoke because you don't know if your opponent poisoned it, and don't stop sensing once you sense someone you never know if there more than one." I listened closely on everything he said I needed to improve on.
"But at least your senbon actually pirced into the body this time, and you jumped out of the smoke trap once you had a chance distract me, your sensing skills are getting better and quicker than before." I beam at him on hearing on my improvement and determined to improve myself.
"I think I should start working with poisons. That way if my senbon actually pirced someone I can have the upper hand on them." I say while I started picking up the ninja weapons around me.
"That's a good idea. I'll have someone send you a book on more poisons and antidotes. It's important for you to be able to identify and treat every type there is for your medical training." He says while helping me clean up the area. I finished sealing everything into my scroll and rolled it up.
"So, um...you doing anything later." I say to him while handing him his shuriken and kunai's.  He takes them from me and puts them away. He shakes his head.
"I told you that you have to wait for me." I look at him confused. If he doesn't want to be a couple officialy. Then what does that make us.
"Then what are we." I tilt my head at him
"What do you mean?"
"I uh.. I mean that you don't want a relationship, but I have feelings for you and you have feelings for me too right?" I ask him concerned that he doesn't want to be with me.
"I do." he reaches for my hand giving it a squeeze.
"But the life I live. It's too dangerous to have something normal like a relationship. That's why I said to wait for me. Untill then, it makes us......Uh pending relationship." He explains. I
Deadpan on what he just called us.
"A pending relationship. What does that even mean." I laugh.
"You come up a better way to call it." Tobi grumbles with a red tick mark over his mask. My laughing turns in to a giggle and I begin to think.
"A promise." I say.
"Huh."
"That is what I'm calling it. A promise we made to be together in the future." Tobi walks over to me and l lifts my chin up. I knew what he was doing, so I close my eyes and he gives me a kiss. I kiss him back and we intagle our fingers together deepening the kiss. When he finally pulls away, he gives me a peck on my cheek and let's go of one of my hands. I keep my eyes closed and he pulls me into a hug. I melt into it and burry my face into his cloak.
"A promise." He says.
"A promise." I whispered into his chest. He unwraps his arms around me and I look up at him.
"You should get going or else you will be late for work." My eyes widened when I realized he was right and I let go of him.
"Right! " I grab his hand and give him a peck on his mask. Making sure I had everything I start to run my way home.
"You should really show me that teloparting thing next time." I yell over my shoulder.
"Maybe." He yells back. I let out a laugh and keep running to my house to get ready for work.

Trying hard to keep a bored look so Manami dosent assume anything I take a big breath and  walk into the restaurant.
"Rina!" She attacks me into a hug as soon as I walk in.
"You will never guess what happened yesterday at the festival!" She says with excitement.
"What?" She giggles and grabs both my hands bouncing. What ever it was has got her acting more childish than usual.
"Haru proposed!" My eyes widened, a giant smile made its way to m lips and I pull her into a hug.
"Congratulations!" I guess this is something to be excited about. I would be acting the same way if Tobi proposed. I pull out of her hug and continue smiling at her. We both begin to giggle while holding our hands.
"Rina I'm so happy, he proposed under the fireworks. It was so romantic I wish you could have been there." She explains. I then remembered where I was on the night if the festival. Thinking about Tobi's lips with mine brought a blush to my face. I quickly shake the memory and give Manami's hands a squeeze.
"Me too, but I'm pretty sure it would have been awkward, because you would be all over each other." I say knowing I would have been ignored if I had been there.
"That is so true, but oh my kami Rina.. I'm just soo happy." She keeps a gaint smile on here face.
"When is the wedding." I ask her.
"We aren't spacific, but maybe in 6 months" I lightly laugh. leave it to Manami to plan her wedding in short amount of time. Who am I kidding, she has been planning her dream wedding ever since she was a little girl.
"That soon?" I ask her.
"Yes I can't wait and I want you to make a song for me and him." That surprised me.I never expected her to ask me this.
"What! You want me to perform at your wedding." I ask confirming on what I just heard. She nods her head rapidly at me.
"Yes! I know you can do it and think of it as a wedding gift for me." When I heard that my chest felt warm. Manami believed in me and thought I was talented enough to perform at her wedding.
"I'll be happy to make you a song." I pulled her into a heartfelt hug.
"Thank you." She says softly, she knew what a big deal this was to me. We let go of the hug and her eyes begin to sparkle with excitement.
"So I'm planning on doing a spring weeding, cherry blossom themed. "As I hear her plan of her wedding all I could think about was how really happy I was. I am happy for you Manami to be able to find someone that wants to be with you for the rest of their life, I think to myself.

Yuuma and I where back to the restaurant with the paino. He drag me here after work and after the restaurant hours. How he convinced the owner I don't even know. The restaurant was dark with only the light above the piano, and by the entrance of the restaurant being the only ones on.
"So remembered when I said I was writing something." he says while we walk towards the piano.
"Yeah. Is it finally done?" I ask
"Yeah, come I want to show you." He grabs my hand and we sit on the paino.
"Ok so it's a song that I wrote for you." I was surprised. Feeling greatful for him to make me song was so sweet of him. I give him a nod.
"Ok." He takes a big breath and start to play.

I don't wanna tell you that I long to see your face
I'm scared it might scare you away
And I don't wanna tell you that sometimes I think of you and smile
'Cause time with you is time enough for now

But I don't know how long I can stick around and be
Just another friend time and time again and hold my tongue.
I don't know how long before it breaks me down inside
And all my strength has gone away, and it's too late before I say

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

I'm trying hard to be myself but I always seem to fail
I'm afraid I'm not the guy you know so well
Cause every time I'm near you I just seem to lose my head
And spend my time admiring instead.

But I don't know how long I can stick around and be
Just another friend time and time again and hold my tongue.
I don't know how long before it breaks me down inside
And all my strength has gone away, and it's too late before I say

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

I'm torn between the chance for everything and a price that I can't pay
Losing you is something that I'd never choose so I'll just have to wait
But it kills me everyday

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

I don't wanna tell you that sometimes I think of you and smile.
I didn't know he was going to sing and the lyrics, I didn't know what to say.
"It was beautiful " He grabs my hands and pulls them close to his chest.
"I meant every word of that song. I just can't stop thinking of you ever since I came here and I ... I love you Rina." He confesses to me while looking into my eyes the entire time letting me know he did mean every word. I gulped and give my head a small shake
"Yuuma i...." The words are lost in my brain I didn't know what to say or do in this situation. He began to talk again.
"I don't know who that guy you were with at the festival is to you, but I know if I didn't say anything to you I would regret for the rest of my life." My thoughts drift to Tobi. The same special person I made a promise to.
"Yuuma.. I don't know what to say." I did know what to say, but how do I just reject someone's love confession. How did this happen to me. Me being stuck in a love triangle I thought this only happens in a cliche love story.  He leans closer to me still having my hands pressed to his chest I can feel his heart beat rapidly.
"I want you to be with me. I want to be yours, I want to shower with love and affection." He continues to come closer towards me. Knowing I didn't want this or do this to Tobi I lean back and say,
"I.... I can't." That made him stop leaning towards me and pull back with his eyes wide.
"What?" He asks not believing what he just heard. I pulled my hands away from his chest and shake my head.
"I can't love you." I saw when he heard that his face looked in disbelief.  Saying I can't love him was a lie.
"I did love you.....no I do love you ....but not the way you want me to." That was the truth. I do love him and care for him, but just not the same way he loves me.
"It's that guy from the festival isn't it." He says quietly with some anger in his tone. It wasn't Tobi's fault for his bad timing. He is the one that made me finally move on and forgive Yuuma. He healed my broken heart.
"I really did love you. I would have given the same love and affection in return but.....you're to late. I learned to let you go and love someone else." A tear fell out of my eye, I get up and face him.
"I'm sorry." My voice cracked as I was about to leave, he quickly grabbed my wrist.
"Isn't there a way I can get a second chance." I look at him. I look into his eyes it was filled with fear , pain and a hint of hope. Another tear fell from my eyes. Feeling guilty I lean down to give him a kiss on the cheek
"Goodbye Yuuma." I whispered out. I tug my hand free from his hold and walk out of the restaurant with a heaviness on my heart. Knowing that I just broke his heart and lost my best friend.
