Forbidden Ritual

I slipped into Ruka's room quietly adjusting my eyes to the darkness. I tiptoed wary of every creak that the floor made at my steps. I was conscious of every swish of my blue pajamas. I looked to Ruka and saw that she was sleeping deeply undisturbed by my noise. Reaching her bed I pulled out the chair it at her study desk it screeched as I did so. I looked to her again my face in panic but saw her still undisturbed. I sat by her bedside. I gazed onto her sleeping form wishing very much to sleep as peacefully as her. I listened to her rhythmic breathing making me calm.

I breathed out a tired sigh. I wonder when did my over protectiveness of her grow into this terrifying feeling… this love that should not be. I looked out her bedroom window wondering when it started. Was it when we were thirteen? When she decided we should sleep in different rooms and I found myself unable to sleep those first few weeks unused to her presence missing in the room? Or was it when we first went to duel academy the time she first wore the girls' uniform which showed that she was growing beautifully into a young lady. Or was it when I saw Tenpei confessed his love for her? And she reciprocated. The first time I felt my heart breaking.

Ruka made a noise stirring in her sleep. I stiffened in place frightened at how she would react seeing me here when she woke up. She resumed to peaceful sleep with a smile. I sighed with relief. "Kuribon…" She murmured. I smiled at her sleeping form. Deftly I brushed the stray strands of green hair from her face.

I stared at her with frustrated eyes. This feeling wasn't lust. That much I understand. I just can't imagine doing those kinds of things to her. I held onto her hand grasping it gently. No this wasn't lust I insisted in my mind. This feeling is a selfish love. A love that wishes for us to always be together. Like we always have been. Never to be apart. But at the same time… I understand that some day some guy will take her away from me. I frowned at the thought. Leaving me alone in this house. On that day I'll smile for her happy to know she will be in capable hands. But truthfully I'll be sad to see her go.

Slowly I lowered my head to her and kissed her forehead gently tears sliding down my cheeks. So for now let me have this I asked her with my kiss. Let me scare away every guy that tries to get close to you. Let me see your sleeping form every night so that I may sleep as peacefully as you do. Let me do this forbidden nightly ritual… I parted my lips from her and got up leaving the room ready to face the loneliness that waits in my room.
