Kenji watched her lower her head. Laughing a bit. "Why did I have a feeling you were going to say that?" He asked in amusement. He put an arm across his chest. Thinking as he tapped his fingers against his shoulder. "I know! Naria Delonce! You would be Naria Delonce while me and hoshi and Rodriguez and Jon." He said with a grin. "Condolences to your future daughters indeed." He teased. "They would have a wonderful mother though." He said. Moving his hand back behind his head now that he wasn't thinking with it. "You have a cute giggle." He said. Closing his eyes again. Just resting them as the moon rose up over the trees.<br/><br/>"Yeah...just don't tell anyone. Not even Hoshi. This is my special place. I haven't shared it with Hoshi yet. I probably won't. This is the place I go to escape everyone and everything." He said softly. "I trust you. I trust you a lot. Its why...I am sharing my most sacred treasure with you." He said with a soft smile. "I've always had Hoshi. I don't think I could have been as strong as you have Yukiko. To not have someone who is a genuine friend...I don't think I could have stayed as up beat and happy as you did. It would probably eat away at me."<br/><br/>He shrugged a bit. "I won't abandon you. You'll have to beat me away with a stick because even if you are in a foul mood...I'm sticking to you like glue. You won't be able to pry me away because friends stick together no matter what." He listened as she continued speaking. "You don't just put on a strong face Yukiko...you are strong." He let out a light yawn that ended quickly. "I can do that. Be the friend you laugh and cry with." He said with a sleepy smile. It was so relaxing here. "I don't want to be your friend to protect you. Protecting my friends is part of my nature. Its something my father told me friends do...protect their good friends." He spoke softly. "I'll only protect you though if its something you can't handle. Though if its one of the bullies at school...all you'd have to do is kick 'em in the groin and they'd go down with tears in their eyes. Most of the guys like that are punks." He smiled a bit.<br/><br/>"I think you are cute and cool and unique. None of that has to do with you being different. It just makes you refreshing compared to the same old same old that people are around here." He reached over and touched her shoulder. "We're in this together from now on. And I'll work hard not to let my protective nature kick in around you. I can't promise it'll be a hundred percent not protective but I'll work hard." Moving his hand back to his arm behind behind his head. "You'll never be alone again Yukiko...I know it'll take time for you to believe that. Or you might already but even if you don't...I'll show you every day I'm sticking around." He said with a smile. "Friends til the end. Just like me and Hoshi. Me and you are going to be friends to the end."<br/><br/>He let out a light yawn. "It might be good to just sleep out here tonight. Unless you want to go back. I got a blanket we can use in the trunk. I'll get it if you decide you want to stay here for the night. The breeze kicks up around two in the morning and it'll be a bit nippy. Hence a blanket in the trunk. The decision is all yours." He said. Relaxed completely and not really wanting to move.
