Run Naruko Run 1

I'm currently in my living room with Kiba-kun and that ape Gremory. She wanted to talk to me about something but I don't know if I have any answers for her. I made some tea for them both. Even though it's late, I suppose for Devils it doesn't matter what time of night it is. It's past midnight and my eyes are a little heavy. Using that Sacred Gear has tired me out more than I thought.

"Here, some tea."

"Thank you Uzumaki-san."

"Yeah, thanks Uzumaki."

I sat down next to Kiba-kun and after taking a sip of tea, she started asking me questions.

"So Uzumaki, those barriers... I don't know how to put it but… how did you know how to use it?"

"Well… this voice inside my head told me what to do. I don't know what it was but the voice told me how to use this Sacred Gear. And now the voice hasn't spoken to me at all. Please don't ask me what the voice was either. I just don't know what it was. It was a little… I don't know, friendly but demanding also. It told me what to do and yelled at me." I told her the truth. I don't have any reason to lie to her.

"A voice? Could it be possible that your Sacred Gear has a creature sealed inside?"

"But Buchou. Uzumaki-san's Sacred Gear is an aura that covers her body. Is it possible to have a Sacred Gear like that to have a sealed being?"

Rias-senpai took a breath then just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's possible. That's the physical form of the Sacred Gear. It's not impossible that the Sacred Gear has a physical form that we just aren't seeing. Or that aura is in fact the physical form of the Sacred Gear. I've heard of another Sacred Gear that has an aura around the user as the physical form. Although, that Sacred Gear isn't for creating barriers."

"Is that all you wanted to ask, Rias-senpai?" I said with a yawn. It's really late and I can't keep my eyes open much longer. Dammit, today has really wiped me mentally and physically.

"No. About your parents..."

"Don't ask me about them. I'm not going to tell you anything about my parents. They were great people and they loved me, until your kind took them away from me. I would've been next but someone saved me."

"Someone saved you? Who?"

Kiba-kun asked me. I shrugged my shoulders at him and looked at Rias-senpai with a small amount of hatred.

"I can't remember his name, or his face. I wasn't taken much in then as I just saw my parents murdered right in front of me. But I remember what I said when I was saved from him. 'The handsome man saved me from the monsters.' After that, he just embraced me as I cried about my parents death. I don't even know him, but he either knew me or just cared about my life. Either way, I was grateful to that man who saved me from your kind."

I feel tears stinging my eyes. Just remembering the day that they died is… heartbreaking. I hate the feeling of someone abusing their powers and killing the only people who cared about me.

"Uzumaki-san..."

I looked to Kiba-kun with a pained smile. Seeing my pained smile, he brought me to his chest and I just snuggled in, happily. Just to keep me close to him is very comforting.

"I see. Well, I have to go now."

Without saying anything else, Rias-senpai left the room and the apartment. I looked at Kiba-kun.

"I'm sorry. I'm being selfish aren't I? You can go home if you like?"

"But I don't want to go. I'm sorry, but I want to stay with you tonight."

"O-Ok. Thank you Kiba-kun. Thank you for staying with me."

I stayed in his embrace for the longest time. Before I had realized it, an hour had passed. I had spent an hour in his arms and all he did was stroke the back of my head lovingly.

"Kiba-kun..."

"Yeah...?"

"I'm ok now. Let's get to bed...I-I mean! Let's go to our separate beds!"

He chuckled and nodded. I stood up, grabbed my pajamas and went into the bathroom. I might be falling in love with him, but I'm not comfortable stripping in front of him. Others might be able to strip in front of people but I certainly can't. I got undressed and dressed again in my pajamas.

I then went into the living room/bed room to see Kiba-kun taking off his pants. I blushed furiously as he noticed me standing here.

"You are so cute when flustered, you know?"

He took his pants off and now he is just standing there in his underwear. Everytime I see him like that, I think I become a little more perverted. It's just that he has a nice body.

"You are going to have to stop being so nice to me Kiba-kun or I will really have to become… serious..."

Kiba-kun got into his futon. It's his now. Before it was just the guest one, but he is the owner of the futon. He then patted the side of him.

"I know this might sound weird, but will you perhaps join me in bed? I-If you don't want to then I-I don't mind but when you were in my futon that time… it felt right, don't you think?"

So he felt it also. I gave the smallest of nods and went over to him. He gave me a reassuring smile so I sat down on the edge of the futon, then I got into the futon with him. He lay down on the futon with his hands resting behind his head.

"Do you mind if I rest my head on your chest?"

"Not at all. Please rest your head on my chest."

I placed my head on his chest and snuggled in. I then felt an arm wrap itself around my body in a protective embrace. This is so sweet. I can't believe how nice this feels. Kiba-kun places his other hand to his side. I take that hand and hold it tightly.

"Goodnight Kiba-kun."

"Yes, goodnight."

I closed my eyes as I felt the back of my head being stroked. It's so loving right now that I can't believe that this is happening. Kiba-kun is actually being with me here right now. This is just perfect in every aspect.
