Chapter 5 - Just like the old days

At sunset, the army returned from the battlefield, injured and depleted in numbers heavily, but not deprived of their fighting spirit. Mou Gou hurried back on horse after hearing the news of Kyou En's surprise attack. He went into Rui's tent, where she was sitting on her bed, staring the chain what now on the floor.

- She like this since the incident, sir. I don't know what I should ...

- Rui'll be fine soon - he raised his hand - tell Commander Mou Ten to come here right away.

- As you wish, General. -The old general began to approach his (almost) granddaughter-in-law.

- Rui ...

- He almost got me, pops.- She said in a very low voice. - That man ... he wanted to kill me...- A series of scary memories filled her mind. These were pictures of an earlier event that changed the life of a young smith forever. Mou Gou clenched his fists, and Do Mon, half in the tent, seeing the reaction of his superior, looked at the tent door with a twin as to whether Mou Ten was coming. We didn't have to wait long; no matter how tired he felt when he heard what had happened, Ten almost rushed toward the tent. Do Mon gave him a way to Rui without thinking.

- Ten! - She said with tears in her eyes - Are you okay?

- I'm fine, but what the hell happened with you ?! - He clings to his fiance with force, but his grandfather answers his question.

- Kyou En tried to scare the soldiers left, but eventually Rui become his target.

- But he couldn't catch me.-She's trying to force her to smile, but now she has the power to hold onto Mou Ten."

- Grandfather... - The young commander murmured quietly.

- Of course, I'll leave you alone alone. - And this turned out, and Do Mon followed him without a word.

- I felt so ... weak, Ten.

- You're not a warrior Rui. You're not used to that.

- But it's pathetic that I'm just capable of defending myself. I hate to always ... rely on the others ...

- As a soldier, it's our job to fight for those who can't. - He gently strokes his girl's face and then gives her a quick peck the mouth. Tears were already flowing from her eyes.

- But I don't want you end like ...

- I will not.- he lie down on the bed beside her, not letting go for a moment. - I'll always be with you Rui.

- *sob*... I love you ...*sob*

-I love you too...

Later, when Kyou Kai went to see her newfound friend was okay, she looked into the tent and saw that the couple was sleeping. Mou Ten, though not much larger than his future wife, completely embraced her, forming a kind of wall between her and the outside world. That he could not do anything that could harm her. Just like in their childhood.

Flashback

- Ten! Rui! Where are you?!- Kai, Rui's father, shouted at the house, while the increasingly nervous Mou Bou followed his friend.

- Get out now brats and you dont get hurt, i swear. - Mou Bou said in edge of his patience, and De Kai leaned apologetically between the two steps.

- I'm sorry, my friend. Always happens when your father brings Ten here.

- Do they always disappear?

- And always together. - Kai smiled cheekly - If this goes on as they grow older, we will soon become in-laws and grandfathers. - Mou Bou is thinking about De Kai's statement.

- It's not such a bad idea, Friend. Rui is a good and strong girl.

 - Hehe.When she want to be, yeah. But Ten is here, she play the princess in trouble.- As they continued the search after the two kids Yaoe, Kai's sister appears from the corner turn and tries to shake the two men with her hands in her mouth.

- Brother, please keep your voice down. They're in there.- She pointed to one of the doors. - But now I think you better not disturb them. - There not-so-nice ideas came out from the two fathers about what on earth about what kind of act to dont need to interfere a 13-year-old or almost a 12-year-old child . Yaoe looked at them with slight disgust.

- Nothing like that, you damn perverts - Yaoe just quietly opened the door a little here - they just got tired of playing all day and are sleeping now. - Kai and Mou Bu clung to the gap and saw that Rui was curled up on the pillows that had been laid, and Mou Ten wrapped himself around her, holding each other's hands.

- Awww, just look at them. I already set up the wedding - she smiled and left the two men.
