Arena Infirmary

Ryuji felt reality crumble around him. "Oh...I see..." Ryuji looked away. "That's..." He teared up and blushed a little bit. "Well...then..."

She looked at him and blinked. "You ok?"

Ryuji dried his eyes. "Yeah I'm fine. Oh well, better get my rest if I want to be in good enough shape for the final."

She blinked and then hugged him. "Tell me what's wrong please."

"Well, nothing's wrong...its just that...that's an awkward thing to just say to someone."
Ryuji blushed again and looked away from her.

She nodded and then sighed. "Ryuji...I'm sorry if my telling you that hurt you."

"No, I'm fine. It's better knowing that now than later. It's just that..." Ryuji looked back at her. "It's just...I didn't think you were...like that."

She blinked. "Like what?" She then backed up a bit.

Ryuji blushed. "Like...being into what you did to get that way."

She sighed. "When you love someone you will do that eventually." She then lay her head on his shoulder. "I still care about you Ryuji. I really do it's just I'm not sure what I want and I'm very sensitive right now."

"So...that is how you envision love?" He petted her on the head. "Perhaps I was more right than even I thought."

She started to purr and yawned. "I don't like you thinking what I'm like before you even get to know me. I put up with that enough for being not fully human or demon."

"You're right, I'm sorry." Ryuji looked her in the eyes.

She smiled and then lay her head back down on his shoulder and yawned before she fell asleep.

"Great...she falls asleep. Just like a kid." Ryuji moved to the other side of the bed and turned away from her, giving her his pillow to sleep on.

In the morning she woke up and rubbed her eyes blinking a bit before looking over and seeing Ryuji she then blushed and smiled running her fingers through his hair. "Good luck in your fight today."

Ryuji had woken awhile before her and was meditating on the bed. "Thank you. I will need it. This guy I have to fight is crazy. I wish I'd had another day to rest, but the show must go on." Ryuji walked towards the door. He turned back towards Namide. "You do remember my promise? I intend to keep it, regardless of what you have done." He smiled and left the room.

She smiled and got up running after him. "Ryuji...Don't believe in yourself. Instead believe in the me that believes in you."

Ryuji turned and gave her a thumbs up. Then he walked briskly towards the ring.

Serana walked into the infirmary and spotted Namide "Hello there little girl how have you been?"

She looked down and picked up Serana. "Hey...I'm good I guess." She then sat in a chair and set her on her lap as she pet her.

"You guess? Tell me whats wrong and I'll talk to you a bit I may no look like it but, I am pretty old and wise." Serana was purring.

She shook her head. "It's ok...just thinking about something." She then looked down at Serana and blinked. "Will you tell me your real name sometime?"

"I see someone told you about my past. Fine if I tell you a bit about me you gonna have to reveal some stuff to and trust me more." Serana took a breath.

"My real name is April I was a witch once but, if you know I had a real name then you had to of known that I was a witch. Now tell me what your thinking about I'll help you anyways I can. Then maybe I'll give you some more insight into my life."
