Safe in my Arms *colored*

"Ryu!" Yaldabaoth said, then looked back at Anubis. "fracking swine!" He threw Anubis into the water. "You're lucky I don't slit your throat..." He looked over at Ryu as she slammed the door of her home. "Wait!" He ran to the house and opened the door. "Ryu!"
Ryu fell to her knees, sobbing. "Every time... Every time...I try...to...let someone in..." Her arms wrapped around herself, he shoulders shaking. "I end up getting hurt..." ~the one person I ever let myself get attached too...~
"Ryu..." Yaldabaoth saw her and walked over. He tried to be as gentle as he could. Something he wasn't exactly skilled in. "Ryu...it's me, Yaldabaoth..."
"Yalda...san..."~Am I this weak? Every time I come out, try to trust anyone... I end up getting broken...~ Her voice gave out... What could she do from here. The one person she'd told everything, came back and tore her down. Betrayed her... Toyed with her feelings.
Yaldabaoth put his arms around her. For comfort only, he told himself. "Shh...just...just calm down..."
"How..." she shuddered. "I told him everything..." ~every single time... When ever I let someone into my life... ~ "And he hurts me like this... I trusted him! I let myself love him... even though deep down, I knew I'd only get hurt again!"
Yaldabaoth tightened his grip, not really knowing what to do. "Just...let it all...out." He hoped was the right advice.
She sunk into his arms, unable to speak anymore. All she could do was cry. Anubis had ripped her heart out, and torn it to pieces. It was his voice.... his hand... And he had to tell her everything she was already blaming herself for. She had been willing to give up anything... she had given up her sight, and risked her own death to protect him when she was possessed.
Yaldabaoth rubbed her head lightly. "It's fine...don't even...pay attention to him..." ~Why would he do that...?~ "It's...okay...I'm here."
Her eyes were clenched tightly shut. She was finally completely breaking down. Usually she'd just quietly break down, after she made sure she was alone. But it hurt too much to take on her own. She wanted to die. That's how much it hurt. ~Just make the pain stop someone...~
Yaldabaoth repeated, lifting her head so he could look at her, even if she couldn't look back. "...I'm here."
She buried her face in his shoulder. "I'm sorry... I hate... people seeing my like this..." ~I'm sorry I need to lean on you... but I need someone...~
"Don't apologize..." Yaldabaoth kissed her cheek lightly, not really thinking. "It's okay...just...let it all out..."
~I'm just so useless now... I have nothing I can give... I now need help with everything... I'm worthless, helpless, and, I guess, hopeless...~ Ryu thought, ~That's why... I have nothing left to give... Nothing I can do to help anyone...~
~You don't deserve this...not someone like you...~ "I'm the scumbag...I'm the one this crap should happen to...not you..." Yaldabaoth said quietly.
"No...I deserve it... for forgetting my place..." she wiped her eyes. "It's what I get for ever thinking I'd be worth anything... You've paid your dues already... I guess I haven't yet..."
"You...You too sweet a girl for this to have happen to you..." He didn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. That is, if he had thought about those words at the time. "Ryu..."
"Yalda-san... Thank you..." she said, her voice weak. ~Even if it's probably not true.... If it were, this wouldn't keep happening would it?"~
~San...~ "What does...san mean?" He asked, his voice getting shakey.
"It's a sign of respect... That's all..." she said looking away. "More Japanese... I taught myself... When I had nothing else to do..."
"You...respect me...?" Yaldabaoth asked, most of the memories of his conversations with Ryu involving much cursing and nearly constant demands for a turkey sandwich.
"Yeah... You're not a bad guy..." she sighed. "You probably ended up better then I did.... You were smart enough to take out your anger on other people... You turned out alright, even though you'd been through more then anyone could understand..."
"Ryu..." He gulped slightly, his face becoming red. Without thinking, he slowly leaned in to kiss her.
~What's this?~ she wondered. ~What's going on?...~ She didn't know what was going on, because she couldn't see his movement.
Yaldabaoth planted a kiss on her lips. Only for a split second, maybe less, but it was the most he could do before stopping himself. An embarrassed sound had come from his mouth afterwards, and all he could mutter was an "I...I'm sorry..."
"It's fine... I...don't...mind..." she said quietly. She had flushed bright pink. She had no idea how to react to this... She didn't think about it. She just kind of sat there. ~Thank you...~
Yaldabaoth leaned in and kissed her again, wrapping his arms around her...
Harlan, Kisuhara, and Tenchi had just ran outside, seeing Anubis lying in the water. "Uh...Anubis...What are you doing...in the water?" Harlan asked.
"Gabriel did something... I know it..." Tenchi could barely feel the remnants of aura strings near Anubis. Not that they'd believe her... Kisuhara thought she was paranoid.
Ryu made a shy but almost happy little noise, and finally her tears stopped. She felt a little better.
"I...that would...explain it..." Anubis said, getting up. "I can't remember anything...all I remember is Yaldabaoth running up at me from behind and punching me into the water."
"Gabriel, plays with your feelings, he does what ever he can to hurt anyone..." Tenchi said quietly, almost fearfully. "There's no sign he was even here Tenchi.... Nothing, not a foot print..." Kisuhara said raising an eye brow. "Did you do anything to provoke him Anubis?"
"I...no. I didn't do anything...I was just enjoying the island with Ryu..." Anubis said, somewhat frantic.
"It couldn't have been Gabriel...there's no way a demon would work with an angel...And Hikiro's not God anymore...so could he even pull someone from Hell?" Harlan mused out loud.
Tenchi snarled. "Gabriel was here damnit! You think, I wouldn't know his scent... There are traces of his Aura on Anubis. The aura strings he uses to manipulate people. It makes perfect sense! And there are portals still open all over... and Hikiro's powers aren't all gone yet!"
"It had to be him...!" Anubis said. "There's no other explanation...!"
"...What do you think, Shuichi?" Harlan asked.
"I'm not sure... I don't sense anything... Not a trace...." Kisuhara says shrugging.
"You're an idiot then..." Tenchi turned. "I'll find that bastard myself... So I can kill him..."
"Tenchi..." Harlan began, but it was too late. Tenchi had already flown off. He turned back to Kisuhara and Anubis. "Okay...that sucked...wait...Where IS Ryu?"
"No clue..." Kisuhara shrugged. Where could she have gone? Not far I'm sure... But for her to go off alone something had to scare the hell out of her... She should know better...."
"She went into...our house...Yaldabaoth went with her..." Anubis said.
"Something must have happened... You must have hurt her... Somehow... Yaldabaoth's the one she has the most in common with... Maybe he pities her..." Kisuhara suggested.
"I don't...know what I did..." Anubis said, growing sadder. "I can't imagine what I could say to make her run off like that..."
"Maybe You were possessed by something... Hikiro has that kind of magic..." Kisuhara suggested. "Makes more sense then Tenchi's crackpot Gabriel theory... Disunite us, so he could pick us off..."
"Let's just...try and sort this back out." Harlan said. "Anubis, you should stay here and...Shuichi and I will go and see if Ryu's okay."
Tenchi snarled to herself. "You bastard, I know you're here! Come out and fight me you son of a dog!"
Ryu turned to the door. "Some one's coming this way..." she said quietly. "Two people I think..."
Yaldabaoth scooched back a little bit and stood up. He then helped Ryu get on her feet. "If it's Anubis I tear his head off..."

Harlan opened the door. "Ryu...Yaldabaoth...you guys in here? "
"Yeah, you two in there?" Kisuhara asked, opening the door. "What the hell is going on?" he inquired.
"You wouldn't believe it if we told you..." Ryu said quietly. ~Especially if they talked to Anubis already....~
"...Yeah..." Yaldabaoth said. "So did you guys...see Anubis?"
"Yeah... He was flat in the water. He said you punched him, and he had no clue why..." Kisuhara shrugs.
"Yeah... Right... He knows exactly why... he's faking it... What he said... Was so cruel..."
Harlan blinked. "What...did he do? Cruel...? That doesn't sound like him."

(After Anubis's "betrayal" of Ryu, because Gabriel's possession, she breaks down completely. Yaldabaoth, after newfound love for Ryu, he follows to comfort her... And ends up, after they talk a little, kissing her. It's a sweet moment. The two of them have so much in common. I don't know whether it'll stay as them, or if it'll go back to Ryu and Anubis, but as long as I can, Ryu and Yalda-san make such a Kawaii couple^^) *colored by means of meh new Prismas*
