OOC: Got too much free time on my part, and so I'm bored, so...
After arriving at Whitewater City and a little nap in the Trailmon, Ryouta thinks perhaps it'll be nice to spend the rest of the day here, especially when his girlfriend is involved... He rented a small room in the nearby hotel for two, although obviously the boy think if Mana want it, they can simply merge the beds together. However, their focus right now is spending time in the beach. Ryouta asked Mana beforehand to let him wash his body from all the sweats first, because honestly, nothing is worse than cuddling when you smells so bad. (Even if she told him that she's fine with it, he'll still insist either way). He has previously told her to go on ahead, although it's fine if she want to wait for him.
The boy stared at his reflection on the mirror, and compares it to one month previously, on that battle with his dark counterpart. Enough to say that he gained quite a lot and the transformation was surprising to say the least... but still... it's not quite enough... Not the shape, but the strength. He still need more than this... The black haired boy sighed and quickly dried himself up. If she wanted a surprise, then it won't be nice to show his physique right on... He grinned at the thought. Maybe teasing her a bit wouldn't be so bad... as long as it's not that crowded, cuddling wouldn't be trouble at all.
As he put the towel back on its place, the boy walked out of the bathroom with sleeveless turtleneck that somehow a bit thick, probably to hide his body before the cuddling session and jeans. Underneath, he already put on his swimming trunks.
If the girl is in the room, he would greet her with 'Hello there, my beloved Mana' and kiss her cheek. If she's not... well, then, time to look for her in the beach and probably gave her a great surprise of fanservice.

In their travels, while Mana thought that Ryouta sleeping was definitely cute and while she wanted to just look at him while he did so, but began to feel sleepy too. Blowing their day by saying that she wanted to sleep just wouldn't do, so she told Ayaka to wake her up once they reached Whitewater, as the plant didn't properly sleep; but of course, she handed the digimon her cellphone, and told her to take as some photos when she found it opportune. She used Ryouta's shoulder as a pillow as their travel went on to their destiny, and some time later, they actually reached Whitewater.
The sun was a bit on the strongish side, so she put her hoodie back in her backpack and, clasping her hand with her boyfriend's and intertwining her fingers with his, they began walking through the streets of the city. It all felt so natural, even if they have been a 'couple' for less than six hours.
They went to a hotel, and the boy rented a room in there. She didn't really know what he had in mind, but wasn't afraid of playing along it, quite the opposite; she looked forward to it. He said that she could go ahead, but that was a no-no in her head; she was here to spend her day with him, and while the beach was cool, it wasn't her Ryo-kun, and also, she hadn't changed yet, so he had plenty of time to get ready.
Making sure that Dracomon was either with Ryouta in the bathroom or not looking, she began undressing herself, to change into the same pink tankini with frills she had used when she had come here and met Karin just by chance. And... where she had confessed to her that she liked Ryouta. She completed the attire with a pair of jean mini shorts that covered her upper thighs (partly because Ayaka already drilled in her head that the bikini bottom was only appropiate while inside a beach). It was a first timer, but now her only 'defined' womanly charm was at sight; her relatively long and slender legs. She didn't know if Ryouta would like them (or if he was a leg guy, if anything), but she had recieved her fair share of 'compliments' for them during volleyball class, so it'll be a coin flip.
As if to give him a surprise, even if she had say that they wouldn't merge the beds together, she had Ayaka do it as silently as possible, and littered the back of the newly-merged bed with a plethora of comfy pillows of different sizes and shapes. She was new to this cuddling thing, but she believed that it'd be better if they were comfy, so she went for that to.
After Mana was done, she waited for him, lying quietly on the bed belly down and with her head looking at the floor of the room. She didn't know why, but she felt this strange mix of nervousness, anxiety and a really big group of Tyrannomons partying in her stomach. She didn't know why, but she wanted for him to... approve of what she had done? She really wanted it.
As he exited the bathroom with a relatively modest outfit and called for her, she craned her head up, looking at him in the eyes, and blushing intensely at the mention of my beloved Mana, and even brighter at the kiss.
"Hey, Ryo-kun" she simply said as she kissed him back in his cheek. She was obviously afraid that the fluster she felt made her say something stupid "I missed you. How was the bath?".

Well, that was a really pleasant surprise. He chuckled and sat beside her when she said she missed him
"Well, the water is nice and all, it's good enough... sorta feeling a bit refreshed."
The boy stroke her shoulder length hair lovingly, playing with the locks slightly. Perhaps it's due to him being the more mature one... probably because Mana is being rather meek this time, but Ryouta felt his heart urges him to just simply lay on the bed and relax... but that's rather boring... Still, he's impressed with what Mana has done.
"Well, well..." the boy commented, looking pleased with what he saw. "Looks like you're ready for a cuddling session! Mostly it's just hugs and innocent kissing though, so don't worry too much... Also... I guess that clothes fits you rather nicely... There's something missing, but I can't point it out... It's not the lower parts, defini--" his words stopped when he saw her legs. "...Those are your weapons, huh?" he asked, laughing slightly, caressing the skin lightly. "Not bad..." he muttered. "And before you ask, not a leg guy, but I still know how to appreciate nice legs. Anyway, shall we go to the beach now? We promised to cuddle anyway~"

Not a second after he sat beside her, Mana rolled, her head landing on the boy's lap as her short mane flowed freely, trying to touch the ground. she could look directly at his face that way, and his lap felt... as a really comfy pillow. Maybe it'd become her favorite one given enough time.
"I'm glad" she said to answer the boy's first statement as she reached for one of his hands.
She smiled at him reassuringly. She was still nervous, but at least she'd have an idea if she did something... or something like that. Yet, she couldn't but felt sad when the boy complimented her clothes, but said that something was amiss and that was definitely not in her lower parts. Yeah, she knew. She had been told like a thousand times about it.
"Well, of course there's something missing!" she said a little sad "Maybe it's the fact that I could pose alongside an ironing board and nobody would tell the difference... But I can't fix that a-and I'm still too young to even consider aesthetic surgery. Not that I'd try it, though... it kinda... scares me".
She felt a little better after he complimented her legs. She didn't see them as weapons, but she was somewhat happy that he liked them.
"Okay, let's go" she answered after Ryouta asked to go to the beach. After standing up, however, she went to the wardrove and brought out an orange and somewhat long and opaque beach dress and a beach hat. She donned the dress and straightened it quickly before putting the hat in.
"Ayaka bought these, mind you" she said as she went to the door and opened it "She said that if I got sunburnt because I refused to use sunscreen, I'd have to at least use these until we got to the beach. She wanted to buy shades too and an umbrella of sorts, would you believe it? Anyway, let's go".
As she opened the door, if Ryouta looked at Ayaka, he'd notice that she didn't look to be flustered at the slightest at Mana's claim. In fact, she almost looked proud of wanting to protect her partner from the sun's rays.
She hugged him by the waist as they walked towards the beach, feeling so happy and whole from just being with him.
"Ryo-kun..." she muttered dreamily, in pure bliss "Maybe it's too soon to say this but... I love you".
For a second, she hugged him really tight, as if afraid to lose him. It was really funny, less than half a day, and she already had pictured him by her side forevermore. Mana didn't know if she could stand for her end of the deal, as this feeling just grew bigger and bigger inside her chest, but for now, she just knew that if Ryouta tried to kiss her in the lips, she wouldn't reject him, in fact... she would do quite the opposite. But the only thing she could do was only silently pray that wouldn't come to pass before she broke up with Charles. Even if her heart was truly with Ryouta, she didn't want to add more burden to the taller boy's heart.

"Heh, sorry to pop up your thought bubbles about me thinking about your bust size as amiss, but I like 'em small," he suddenly spoke frankly as he stroked her cheek. "and good, no need for implants or anything like that. I like natural girls the most, afterall. Plus, you're 13, Mana... you still have some time to grow, girl. Like I said before, if there is something you cannot change, I'll accept it... You're just too precious for me... Fretting over smallest stuff about my type when it comes to you won't do it."
However, when he looked at the dress, he... his eyes looks pained, but he quickly shook the thought out. The one in front of him is not his first love... it's his girlfriend, someone much more important than Natsuki... No, don't say it like that... both is important, but for now... Mana is the focus. Ryouta tried to hide his pain with a smile. Just for a while.... just until this over... Yeah, as soon as they reached the beach, she would took that off... and he'll definitely buy her a clothes that fits her more.
I'm not ready... I'm not ready to call it just a simple memory... Natsu...
Still, when he saw Ayaka, he smiled back at her. His thought about the dress gone completely. Ayaka doesn't mean anything with it... and he honestly will try to treasure that memory as nice memory instead of a painful memory... This... might be the best time to put that on practice.
However, all of that pain gone when Mana confessed her feeling again. A true smile, free of any pain crept to his face. He hugged the girl closer to his body despite the fact she already hugged him really close.
"It's nothing too fast, Mana... Because... I love you, too... a lot." he replied to her confession.
As they arrived on the beach, Ryouta guided her to much less crowded part of the beach and began stripping, first from his jeans, then to his shirt, somehow doing it painstakingly slow before fully revealing his muscular physique. The black haired teen grinned teasingly, like telling her to feast on the fanservice.
"Well, then... shall we continue, Mana? Chest, right?"

Mana had noted Ryouta's pained expression at her dress, but couldn't associate it with anything at the moment, so she actually thought that he felt sad because she had lashed out to him because something inconsecuential.
"I-I'm sorry, Ryo-kun" she geniunely said "I'm don't know why I'm this unstable. The gynecologist said that I'd suffer sudden changes of behavior because of these hormone things, but I didn't know that they were t-this serious. Sorry".
Back on their way to the beach, Mana felt her heart on her throat, and at least a thousand Breakdramons in her stomach when Ryouta said that he loved her too, but that feeling vanished soon after, only to be replaced with more happiness that she ever felt on her life. He really wanted to kiss him in this precise instant, but that would be too selfish. She'd do things the right way, for once on her life. She quelled her desires by kissing him on his cheek, thinking that hopefully it'll be enough for now.
When they arrived to the beach, Ryouta began walking to one of the lesser-crowded areas, and began doing a... show, for not having a better word for it. Mana basked on the sight of the boy's defined body for every second that it lasted, almost drooling when he finished. Dang it all, she fell for that trick every time.
"You know, it's not fair!" she said on a playful manner, after staring for some seconds at the boy's torso "I wish I had something that could make you keep staring at the this same way. You know, usually boys are the ones who do that to girls but you're just... too handsome".
Mana blushed brightly at the last word, but Without thinking about it too much, she got out of the summer dress and the jean shorts on a quick manner, those falling in the mat that Ayaka had placed on the sand beforehand, with their owner following soon after, and basking on the sensation of the sun's rays bathing her body.
"But why 'chest'?" the girl asked "I didn't get your question" she made a pause, to allow the boy answer her inquiry "And by the way, why don't you tell something about your family? Nii-san already told me that he met you two times, and one was in this very place, so you must be somewhat familiar with him and his grumpy self, but I don't know nothing about Ryo-kun's brother or sisters except their ages".

"No... uh, no, it's not because of that, Mana..." he replied to her little outburst. "It's fine, it's nothing like that, really... not important. If you're angry, you are angry, so there's no need to bury your feeling like that... as for me... well, I'll tell you one day, but not now, alright? It's... not something suited for first date."
Back to the beach, Mana apparently liking it, so the boy grinned and flexed his arm a bit for her. "Well, it's not my fault that my girl loves my body! And I'm not that handsome, you know? I'm just as standard as I can be. As for you... well, even if I don't show it, I appreciate your figure, too, Mana," he told her, stroking her cheek again. As she fall on the mat, so does he soon after. When she doesn't seem to understand his implications, he simply put her hand on his defined chest.
"...Well, last time it's the abs, and I noticed you stared at my pecs more than my abs... so are you a chest girl? Either way... c'mmere... you can use my chest as pillow while we talk," he suggested as he heard her asking about his family.
"And my family, eh? Alright, I'll tell you more about my siblings first... Like I told you in your memory, I have three siblings... The oldest is Renya... or Ren for short. He's a year older than you are, and is sort of my prided lil' bro! He's much smarter than me, and basically, he's that 'make it, fix it' kind of guy who loves to tinker with stuffs... Last time, I had to buy a birthday present for him, I bought him that Gundam kit... guess how much he loves it? Ren... well, he looks a bit like me, well... a bit too much, I guess... just he's much more sensible and more mature, I guess... He's kinda stiff, so almost like Yuu?" he laughed. "Can be really grumpy, too, so I guess we're kind of similar there... but Ren is only grumpy in the morning... he's not really an early riser."
He strokes her head repeatedly as he continued with the tale.
"Emmm... next in the line is Kizuna... I don't know exactly which one is older, but Inori said Kizuna is older by several minutes. Kizuna is the short haired girl, slightly tomboy, but really girly inside. I guess she's that girl which tries to be tough, but actually very soft! She loves playing basketball, and is a regular in her club. She haven't been in big match before, but I think she's quite gifted. The thing is, though, she's more to the team girl, not the leader girl. She refuses to play if her friends not there with her... I think you and her will get along just fine."
"As for the other one is Inori... she's girlish, but rather strange... She have lots of exotic animal posters in her side of room... She's... rather mysterious... not even I know what she's thinking, but basically, she's that type of girl that is interested in something that girls generally doesn't. Mushrooms? Check. Exotic animals? Check. Occult? Check... I guess she's in the age where she believe such stuffs... a chuunibyou maybe? Then again, both her and Kizu is my beloved little sisters... I tend to get overly protective around them... I can't help it... I guess it's because I'm a big brother..." he chuckled. "Why don't you come to my house sometimes? I can introduce you to them!"

After Ryouta denied her claim of him being handsome, Mana denied with her head.
"You got that one wrong. My Ryo-kun is the most handsome boy out there, and you won't argue with me on that! And that's final".
After that, he explained the 'chest' thing and made an invitation that she just couldn't deny. She snuggled closer to him, effectively using his chest as pillow. She could hear his breathing and his heartbeat, and that made them feel... connected. And for those instants, she felt truly happy and truly alive, and wanted to feel that forever
"Oh, that's the deal with the 'chest'. Well, I like every part of your body, Ryo-kun and I thought I'd bore me out eventually if I just stared at your abs, so I decided to try for your chest that time. Pity I was wrong and I just can't get enough of you".
Ryouta started telling her about his brother and sisters, and Mana smiled at every word she spoke. It was obvious that he loved them and cared for them a great deal. She'd loved to have younger siblings... pity she had none.
"I'm sure I'd get along with Ren-kun and Kizu-chan really fast! And Ino-chan doesn't sound weird at all, you know, or maybe it's just me. I really like most of those things, except for that occult stuff; I really don't understand it. Heck, even if I'd really like to become a professional volleyball player, I've always wanted to be a botanist too!" she said with some measure of joy "And I guess that I'll become that right away if my volleyball skills prove to be not good enough. I think plants, fungi and algae are really interesting, but if I had to choose from the three, I'd pick mycology. Although as of now, I don't know much about them, except for the basics. To be honest, I've even met people who seemed afraid of mushrooms. Weird, huh?".
She snuggled closer to the boy, her fingers tracing circles through his body or trailing through the outline of his abs. She looked pensive for a second, as if something was amiss, before contiuing again.
"Also, I don't get most types of fears, you know. Tatsuya-san seems to be quite afraid of spiders, but I don't get it" she made a pause, thinking further about it "Oh, but don't get me wrong, I'm afraid of a lot of stuff!" she placed her finger on her chin on a pensively manner "I'm actually terrified of heights, big and pointy objects, scalpels, firearms, Scramble Crossing, delinquents, women that try to hit on me and... absurdly muscular men. But that's another history, I won't ask what're you afraid of, because it's too soon, so I wont. Oh, and I totally forgot your offer about going to your home and met your family, I'd actually lov—".
But then, a very real fear sprang unto her mind. She felt extremely at unease, becoming almost frantic and extremely sad from one second to another.
"Ryo-kun! U-uh, I've to say some very important to you t-that I already thought you knew" for a second, she disloged herself from the boy's chest, looking at him straightly into his gray eyes.
"Don't be mad at me, please, but before we become a couple, you have to know this..." she paused, giving for a moment to her selfishness. Maybe this would deter their relationship, and Mana didn't want that at all, but she truly loved him, and risking his family just for some feelings would devastate her.
"Has Karin told you that Charles-kun is not a normal person, right?".
It was great while it lasted, but if Charles was broken hearted, the things that his spirits could do to Ryouta's family... she couldn't even bear with the mental image of that. It was just... too gruesome.

"Heh... well, I'm handsome, you say? Thanks... Well, I honestly think there are guys better than me, face-wise or body-wise, and I just happened to strike your type?" he tried to being modest... Being too proud in front of your girlfriend isn't nice... Best just play it modest and true to your feeling. Ryouta is not a guy that cared that much of his face or how he looks, only how he dressed to looks 'cool'.
He pulled her closer as she snuggled on his chest, stroking her head lovingly.The position is just perfect, but there's something... something that tugging his heart... Did... he did the right thing? He... he has turned into that guy who cared nothing about another person and just focused on himself? He... did he done the right thing? Still, somehow this girl beside him made it felt all right...
Are you really sure? he heard his dark counterpart's voice in his head. Shaking the thoughts from that voice, he stared right ahead, to the calm sea.
"Ahhh, so that's how is it, huh? Well, if you don't think that's enough, why don't you just touch more?" he invited, his fingers danced around on his body. Mana then told him about her dream... A pro volleyball player... He just hoped she won't get too tall or that will be embarrassing for him if she ended up much taller than he is. Still, boys grows longer than girls... so maybe, even if one day he'll end up shorter, he can grow up still.
"Biologist, huh? As for me, I think I want to be P.E. teacher or something... Police is good and all, but... My really short fuse ain't going to help it. I just want to be the kind of teacher that close with the students, to talk with them when they have problems... It's just going to be like my old PE teacher in elementary school. He's so awesome, you know? He understands me when nobody else in the school could..."
Then, talking about fear...
"Hey, I'm also a delinquent!" he joked. "I fought a lot, I beat guys... well, only bad ones, but still..." he laughed. "Also, I'm super ripped, right? Do you think you can handle it if I bulk up even more? To begin with, I'm training to control my biomerge form if I can access it later on... Well, it's ultimately up to you, but yeah, I'm still bulking up to make it easier to move those heavy armors. Speaking of fear... I... I'm deathly afraid of ghosts. You can blame Karin for that one, but really, I think you'll be really laughing your ass off in scary ghost movies when watching it with me. I'll definitely be trembling that even a grandma's trembling felt like perfectly still... And t---"
Mana, suddenly cut off the conversation, looking him straight on the eyes... Why?
"...Huh? Not normal? What do you mean not normal? Stalker o---"
Then his mind quickly recalled what Karin said.
"Ryouta... if somehow Mana still love you... and if somehow she dared to toss everything away for you... then... please, no matter what, don't accept. I know you hate to lie about your feeling, but... It's for your safety. Spirit wielders are hardwired to their bearer. They affect one another, much worse than a tamer to his or her Digimon. Charles apparently have the most batshit crazy spirits... That's why, dating with Mana will only worsen it...
Mana might said she loves him, but... I don't know... There's just something that tells me... that relationship won't work at all... but still, give it time. Don't go steal her just like that..."
Crap.
He heard cruel laughter of his dark counterpart inside his mind.
I told you... I TOLD YOU SO. You just have to go and ruin it all, doesn't you? Well, then, how's that, hero? Afterall, heroes are meant to be alone. When they tasted the kindness in life, then they'll have to pay ultimate price for it! So, then, what will it be? The girl? Or your family? Now you would say... 'if only I keep this thought completely sealed inside...', right? HAHAHAHA, what a joke!
Ryouta's expression darkened significantly as he seem confused how to reply about that. He wanted to tell her that it's fine... that it's alright... He'll stay with her, but... He imagines his three siblings on such gory state... Will he want that? Ryouta bit his lips, trying to fight the thought that... that he'll be all alone in this world if he took this path. Both him and Mana would probably descend to vortex of madness... one in revenge, him... another in great depression because she would definitely think she's the source of this... that's Mana.
So? Are you ready to accept me? Are you ready to accept the dark side if it means that you can stay with the girl?
His D-3 let out black mist, like it's ready to be darkened. As it's really close to Mana, it's impossible for her to not see it.
Face it, we both know that we loves her so much... Your power alone is not enough. Your light counterpart's justice method won't be enough... Who knows what happened if you extract those artifacts from him? It could be that you can be JUST.LIKE.HIM.
"SHUT IT!" he yelled. Tears rolling down his cheeks... but immediately noticed that to Mana, most likely he's talking to himself... or worse, her. "...Mana... Uh... I... I'm not talking to you, it's... that guy... he's back again..."

Mana smiled at Ryouta's dream. She had thought of being a PE teacher too after she retired from pro volleyball, should her skills prove be apt enough for the competitive circuit. She pictured them working in the same school, and that image brought so much joy to her heart, even if she felt a bit embarassed for it. Ryouta then adressed her fears, even with saying some of his, and she couldn't but deny with her head.
"Don't get me wrong, Ryo-kun. With deliquents I'm meaning the real bad ones. You know, yakuzas and those. And with absurdly I mean..." she brought out her cellphone, a did a quick search of the same words she had used 'absurdly ripped men'. Maybe she was too naive about it, but the results yielded images of men that looked like as if had their fair share of anabolics in their system. Without looking at the screen, she showed it to Ryouta. Some of them kinda resembled her kidnapper, even.
"They almost look as if they weren't human, don't you think? I know that you want to be strong, but please... I don't want to be afraid of Ryo-kun. And don't worry about ghosts! I'll totally protect you from the baddies!".
After asking about if she knew about Charles, Ryouta seemed to be uneasy, and even his digivice began spilling out a dark mist. She was about to hug him, and tell that she was okay if he decided to end their relationship, but as her fingers began to touch his chest again...
SHUT IT!
Mana flinched at those words, her eyes getting teary the same instant those words were uttered. She was about to stand up and run away from the place until Ryouta said that those words weren't for her. She calmed down a little, but grew concerned soon afterwards.
"Dark-Ryouta?" she said on a sad tone "The words I said made him talk to you, didn't they?".
She sat on the mat with her legs crossed. She wanted to help him... and she knew exactly how. Dark-Ryouta had appeared because of her, and so... she was the problem. She was the one who had made him suffer.
"I can't do anything right, can I?" she said as she began crying "I tried to help Charles-kun, and I thought that I fell in love in him, but it was just my desire to help him that I couldn't interpret on a right way. And now that I'm looking at you, I'm just too selfish to not to assume my mistakes. I want to be with Ryo-kun, I really, really want to, but I couldn't bear to see you or your loved ones harmed because of that. I-I don't deserve you..." she gulped as she was about to say these words "I don't deserve anybody. T-this world would be better without me...".
As she cried, Ayaka couldn't but wide her eyes at her partner's words. Was Mana actually having... suicidal thoughts? She knew that Ryouta would be better than her in detering the girl from those, but she readied herself to do it, should he not catch her drift.

"...Yeah, he did..." he replied, solemnly. "He... he told me that I'm weak as I am right now. The light one cannot help me... That's why, I need to accept him... But I'm scared, Mana... what if... what if I do, I'm no longer myself and I'll be driven to kill someone? I... already robbed happiness from someone, dammit! If only... if only I noticed this feeling sooner, then I...!"
The girl suddenly starting to say depressive things. Ryouta's eyes widened at the implications. Did she... did she wanted to kill herself? Without much thoughts, Ryouta hugged her very close, kissing top of her head several times. He whispered soothing words to her... The darkening stopped, but Ryouta's D-3 has turned into odd mix of silverish blue and moss green gripped. The body, too, become greyish, signifying the clash between his dark side and his light side.
"Mana... I don't want... I don't want someone close to me die again... If you do, then... I don't think I can live anymore... I... I already lost Natsuki... I don't want to lose you, too!! That's why... That's why... if you left my side without any proper explanation and merely because of your selfishness, then I'll hate you... I'll hate you with all my heart! Don't... don't be cruel to me like this... Of course you deserved me... heck, it's me that doesn't deserve you... I hurt you so many times, and now.... I'm so selfish... We'll go through this together... I'll protect you... and in return, please protect my family, Mana... We'll go down in this together."
Is that your choice? the dark side asked.
Yeah... I don't care... as long as my family and my beloved person is safe... as long as everyone I treasure is fine... I'll go down that route.
And how do you plan to do that? I know you're still not willing to surrender yourself and let me kill that guy...
That can come later... Now, give me that strength. I won't kill anyone... I'll just make it my mission to delete those spirits, or at least separate them... or help him control it.
Fu...fufufu... KUHAHAHAHA!! Wow.... wooow... that was priceless... to think that you come to me without any plan? I guess that's so you... so us... Nevermind this... I'll be happily give you that strength... why don't you ask someone who can help you dive to my heart, hm? By the way... I already linked those thought since the start to Mana, too... I bet she know someone who can help you to reach me... Don't worry, as long as you don't reject me totally, I'll definitely behave. I'm not like that guy... Mana's safety is my concern, too.
His eyes widened... Did Mana... Did Mana just heard all of those thoughts of his?

Mana returned the hug instantly. Ryouta was all the reason she needed to keep pushing forward. She didn't know why her feelings for the boy were that deep, but she just let them wash over her. Only one thing was pretty clear in her mind now.
"I wouldn't do anything that could hurt Ryo-kun. Believe when I say that the only thing I want to do right now is to be with you. I'm not Nat-chan, and I know I'll never be, but if you're happy with me, even when you're risking everything you have to be with me... I'll stand by your side like you stood for me in that memory. Even if this path leads to a downward spiral and you become consumed by your dark side while I blame myself for everything, as long as you want to stay with me, I'll stay with you. You're my beacon of light in this stormy sea, Ryo-kun. I know that even in my darkest hour, you'll be there for me; I feel strong when you're with me, and I would gladly face death a thousand times if you just held my hand. I don't know what's beyond it, but if I'm going to fall to it alongside you, I think that doesn't sound that bad, you know".
She then heard it. It was dark-Ryouta, offering his power to him. And he had accepted it, but he was giving his own terms to his dark counter part. Mana hugged him even more tightly as the two Ryoutas spoke. He had said it, he would do anything to protect her and his family, even if that included... killing Charles. She felt sad for that, but at least he would try to do other things before. Yet, what surprised her more than everything else was that even dark-Ryouta cared for her, and she couldn't but blush slightly at that. She wondered if he was really, after all before addressing his boyfriend's question.
"Nami-chan" she muttered softly as she separated enough to see him directly in his eyes, but at the same time mantained the hug. Her eyes were still teary, but she wasn't crying anymore "She's Tatsuya-san's girlfriend. Her partner, Rea-chan said that she could do something like that. The two of them are very kind people, and I'm pretty sure that they'll help us out if we ask them".

"...You... you know Natsu?" Ryouta asked, surprised. "...Did Koharu told you? Either way... I know you're not Natsu... I know you're not her at all... But that's why, that's why I don't want to repeat the same mistake to that day... I don't want to lost anyone again... Especially not my Mana. I love you because you're you, Mana, not because you're similar to Natsu... So don't put yourself in her place. I'll stay with you until the end like you do..."
Ryouta hugged her tightly as she returned his hug... He already in this kind of relationship... He's not willing to back down just yet. Then, suddenly, Mana told him something. Something about her friend? And that friend is apparently Tatsuya's girlfriend. Ryouta looks surprised. Tatsuya? Settling down on a girl? He nearly laughed, but tried to hold it due to respect.
"Nami-chan, huh... then I guess... next time you meet her, please ask her... if it's needed, I'll ask her, too. Let's promise to be stronger than now... And... um.... I'll try to keep up my bargain of no kissing on lips until you broke up with that guy..."

To the questions about Natsuki, Mana's eyes became watery as she remembered the history that Koharu had told her. She then nodded, and smiled at the boy. She felt so special when he called her 'my Mana'.
"Don't worry. I have Nami-chan's D-Terminal address, so I can message her right now if you want to. And also..." she said as she kissed him on the cheek "Thanks for understanding. You're truly an amazing person, Ryo-kun. I know that this is gonna sound rather weird, but your chaotic self..." she had decided to stop calling him 'dark' after he had said that he cared about her "Said that he worried about me, so he's somewhat in love with me too? It's kinda confusing...".
She scratched the back of her head, realizing that to a greater or a lesser extent, Ryouta's fractions were still a part of him.
"But that makes me think, you know" she muttered on a pensively manner "If your non-chaotic self said that he only saw me as a little sister of sorts, it means that your chaotic side was the one that had a crush on me? Maybe I'm overthinking this a bit too much. Let's just go back to where we were. There's a lot of time left before the sun sets, and I really wanna know a lot of stuff about my Ryo-kun".
And so, she waited until the boy lied on the mat again before using his chest as a pillow yet again.
"For example, even if you have to train to be stronger, you still won't be like those guys I showed you, right? I wouldn't like in the least bit".
Even if her voice was filled with doubt, she snuggled closer and closer to him. Even if she had a sad experience with a disturbingly ripped guy, she would accept Ryouta's changes, even if in they end they'd make him look just exactly like him.
"Oh, also...!" she said urgently as if she had forgotten something really important "I really need to know when's your birthday! And Ren-kun's and Kizu-chan's and Ino-chan's!".

"I... don't understand myself, but... He definitely tried to act strong when he's around you, but actually seem to be... really happy around you, I guess? I don't think he'll simply answer if you asked... And he just cut the mental link, so I cannot ask him. But my theory is that they're me, but at the same time, not me... they came from different world, but at the same time, probably not... I have no idea. They could be the manifestation of my crest... or something similar."
Now that the condition has calmed slightly, Ryouta lied on the mat again, patting his chest to tell her to lay there again, which she done quickly soon. He sighed, content again. He stroked her head lovingly once more... He really likes it... he's sure... if she sleeps beside him, then... he's sure that he'd hug her and nuzzle her lovingly, like an overgrown cat.
"Maybe a bit like that... maybe, but I won't use steroids, so I won't be that huge... my body is basically like this because of my genes... As for my birthday... it's in April... 7th. Ren's 17th September, Ino and Kizu at 3rd October. What about you?"
