Early that morning Runa woke up to the sound of the loudest thunder crack she'd ever heard. Runa was exactly like Cerena was. She was horifyingly scared of thunderstorms. She heard anouther loud Thunder crack a second after a flash of light lit the sky. In he room next to hers Jack woke up to the second Thunder crack. Runa came running into his room through the door that connected both their rooms. She jumped on his bed as her whole body shivered violently in fear as she cried silently. He looked at her laying down becide him crying. "Get in....I'll protect you" he said as he gestered her to get under the covers with him. She crawled under the covers as he wraped his arm around her with the covers in his hand. He pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly. "It's alright Runa.....I'm here.....I won't let the storm get you.....ever" He said as he kissed the top of her head. She hugged him tightly as she cried. "I'm scared Jack......The lightning has come back for me" She said as she cried in his bare chest. "What do you mean by that Runa" he asked. "When I used to live out on the streets when there was a storm The Lightning always shock me and it hurts really bad when it does and it never stoped since I was little" He said as she looked at him. "I'm surprised your still alive after all those shocks....it's strange how you manage to survive them...........Well they won't shock you anymore as long as I'm around.............As long as your in my arms I won't let anything bad happen to you" He said sweetly as he hugged her tigtly. just then anouther loud thunder cracked. She hid her head in his bare chest. He looked at her then moved her upwards to where her head was under his neck. "Don't worry Runa............I'll protect you......Try to go back to sleep alright....I'll be right here so there's nothing to be afraid of" He said. She looked up at him and smiled as she gave him a small peck on the cheeck Which made him blush madly. She looked up at him and giggled. She didn't realize how close her face was to his and she started blushing. Anouther flash of light lit the sky then anouther thunder cracked soon after. She gently hid her face in his neck. "There there Runa it's alright I'm here" he said as he looked down at her as he put a hand on her head and stroked her silky hair. She snuggled her face into his neck gently as she smiled her shivers calming down but her heart speeding up. "I love you Jack" She thaught. His eyes widened. He could feel his heart rate starting to speed up. He looked down at her as he Heard anouther lound thunder crack. She wraped her arms around his waist as she began to shiver violently once more. he smiled and wraped his arms around her. "it's alright Runa...............I'm here.....I won't let the storm harm you.................try to go back to sleep......I'll be right here to protect you" he said sweetly as he hugged her tightly. She looked up at him and nodded her head. "I-I'll try" She said shyly as she snuggled her face into his neck once more but this time more gentler. He blushed as she snuggled to get comfertable. he put his hand on her hair and stroked it softly. He looked down upon her and smiled as he hugged her tightly. "And I love you Runa" He thaught.

The next morning Runa woke up her hands and head on his chest and Jack lying on his back. She blushed madly as she sat up. She looked off to the side as Jack opened his eyes. he sat up and looked at her. "What's wrong Runa" He asked as he rubed his eye. "I-It's nothing......MORNING JACK" She said as she glomped on him and hugged him tightly. he fell backwards. "Good morning to you too" he said as he hugged her tightly and laughed. "Jack" She asked as she sat back up in a sad tone in her voice. "Hm....What is it" He asked. "Can you teach me everything....about Millennians" She asked as she looked at him. He stared at her for a long time. "........Alright.....There should be a big gold book on your bookshelf with silver lettering on the side...grab that book and come back here" He said as he looked at her and smiled. She got out of his bed and walked into her room through the door she came in, grabed the golden book and walked back to him. "Is this it Jack" She asked showing him the book. "Yeah that's the one" He said as she sat back on his bed and in between his legs. He opened up the book to a page to where the title of the chapter said 'First word'. "You already told me this one Jack it's when we say our first word before we get our own name" She said. "But I didn't tell you Why we say them......And sometimes when babies are born they already have names but that doesn't happen very often.....You see these pictures right here......the first one is of a baby girl that was just born.....and the second picture is of a baby boy that was just born.....when they first opened their eyes they said eachother's name.......the boy said the girl's name....and the girl said the boys name but they dind't know eachother untill he saved her from a stampead when they were about your age.....When they looked into eachother's eyes they knew that they were the ones for eachother and they've been friends ever since then.....but when they were seventeen he took her to this Island called Romance Island but in Millennian it's called Arikiku Anatsu and there he told her how he felt about her so she told him how she felt about him and by the time they were twenty they got married and lived happily ever after" He exclaimed as he fliped through the pictures. "Millennia has it's own language" She asked. "Yes it does and Millennia isn't just a country.....It's also a planet" he said. "Why do they call it Romance island" She said as she looked at him. "because any Millennian that likes someone they take them to the Island to tell them their feelings......it's a tradition every millennian does it but you can think it all you want untill you turn ten" "Why not ten" "Cause that's an age where you start to read thoughts" he said. "Thoughts...you mean....you can read other people's minds" she asked. "Yes and you will too once when you turn ten" He said as he smiled at her. "Oh no that means that he heard what I thought last night Oh shoot he's hearing what i'm saying now" She thaught as she blushed madly as she burried her face in her hands. He looked at her and smiled. "But there is a way you can block people from reading your thoughts.......and that's if you make a mind barrier" He said. "But I have to be ten in order to make that" She said sadly. "Actually.....you can learn how to make them when you turn five....and your eight and eight is older then five so that means that you can start learning how to use mind barriers...but you can only learn them in the ages between five and nine.........once when you get to ten You will be able to read minds but if you haven't leanred how to use am mind barrier then people can read your thaughts" He said as he looked at her. "Will you teach me how Jack" She asked. "Of corse I will.........I'll teach you everything there is to know about Millennia and all of the Millennians special abilities" He said as he hugged her. "Special abilaties.......you mean.....there's more then just mind reading" She asked. "Yes.....lots more....much....much more" He said as he looked at her and smiled as he hugged her. "W-Why do you always look at me like that" She asked shyly as she began to blush. "Because your cute and I love making you blush" He said as he tickled her stumich. She giggled. "I like to tourcher you till you laugh" He said as he continued to tickle her sides and stumich as she continued to giggle. "I really do think your cute" he said as he looked in her eyes. She blushed madly. "T-thanks Jack...Y-You really think so" She asked. "Your the most beautifulest girl I've ever met" he whispered in her ear. "That's because I'm a LITTLE Girl I'm suposed to be cute" She said sadly as she started to climb down his bed but he gently grabed her and cuddled her tightly as he set her on his lap. "And yet that's not how I see it Through my eyes I see the most butifulest girl in all of Domino City...it doesn't matter if your still little or not your beautiful in every way possible" He said as he cuped her face in one of his palms to make her look at him. "And that's coming from the heart" She looked at him and smiled as she hugged him tightly. "Your cute too Jack" she said. "You know When girls want to complement a guy they normally say handsome....Is that what you ment about me" he asked. "Yeah.....really handsome" she said as she laied her head on his shoulder with her nose tuching his neck. "I know I am" He said as he hugged her tightly. "that's cause every girl in Domino likes you" She said as she looked at him. "They're nothing compared to someone as cute as you" He said as he looked back at her. When he looked at her he noticed that she was in beetle position with her eyes closed head laying on her arms as her arms laid on her kneez. "Ok Something's wrong and I wanna know what it is and I won't let you go untill you tell me" He said calmly as he wraped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him hugging her tightly. "It's just that......When you said that......You can read minds.........I know that you read my mind last night didn't you" She said trying not to look at him. "I tried not to....but I did" He said sadly. "That means that you heard what I said" She said sadly as she tried to get out of his grasp on her. "Of corse I heard what you said I just.......Don't know how to respond to it" He lied. "Figured" She said as she finally got out of his grasp and walked into her room to get dressed.

That afternoon they went back to the Stables where they saw Anari riding on a horse named Chihiro inside the ring made of fence. Runa looked at her in amazement. "Wow she's so good riding a horse" She said in amazement as she looked at her. Jack looked at Runa and smiled then he picked her up and carried her into the stables. When he got to the stables he sat her down gently. "Jack....Why did you bring me here" She asked as she scanned the horses. "Becuase one of these horses belongs to me" he said as he walked over to Byakuya. "This Back Stalion here is Byakuya...This is Rukia's older brother which Rukia is the White Stalion accross from him" he said as he stroked Byakuya's snout then Rukia's. Runa walked closer to Byakuya She reached out her hand to pet him but quickly pulled it back. "It's alright....They may look big to you but don't worry they're all very calm and very loving Especually Byakuya and Rukia" he said calmly as he gently grabed her wrist and slowly put it up to Byakuya's snout. "See they like it when people pet them as long as they're gentle" he said. "They look so beautiful from afar but up close they're scary" She said as she hid behind Jack. "Don't worry love they're quite tamed" He said as he changed his accent to more British-like. She looked at him and giggled. "I thaught I'd get you to laugh if I did that" he said as he stroked her hair. He put a saddle on Byakuya then he lifted her up and set her on Top of him as he climbed on Byakuya behind her. He grabed the reigns and they trotted out the stables. When they trotted out of the stables Yusei was standing infront of them. "Where are you goin Atlas" He asked. "This is my horse remember....I'm showing Runa what it's like to ride a horse" He said as he wraped one of his arms around Runa's waist so that she wouldn't fall. "Hmm I take it that you really like her don't you" He said. "I love her Yusei......more then anything.....You like Anari too so I'm not the only man that likes a little girl as if I would like a woman" He thaught to him by using telepithy. "Thought so......So have you taught her anything about Millennia and it's peoples Special abilities" He asked. "I'm gonna teach her how to make a mind barrier when we get back home" He said as he looked down at her. "of corse I have......Just not all of them" He said. "YOu should....Anari already knows most of her abilities I can sence it in her heart that she does" Said Yusei as he looked at Anari. He smiled at her lovingly. "She's a fast learner We're already on lesson six and this is only her second day of learning how to ride a horse.......You should teach Runa how to ride a horse it's one of Millennian's abilities that they're suposed to be fast learners.......but that's only if they're full Millenninan"  "Hmm.......That's a good idea Yusei I'll have to think about that but thanks for the idea" Said Jack as he turned Byakuya to training ground. "Let's go Byakuya.....Later Yusei" He said as he galloped away tward the training ground. Yusei walked back to Anari. "Your doin very well Anari" He said as he jumped over the fence. "You really think so Yusei" She asked. "Yeah your a fast Learner just like all full millennians are" he said as he helped her down the horse for a break. She grabed the horse's reigns and walked over to the watering hole. "There ya go Drink up you deserve it" She said calmly to the horse. "She's so calm and gentle to animals.....She's so bautiful" He thaught as he looked at her. She smiled as she looked at him. he smiled back as he put his hands behind his head. "He is cute" She thaught as she looked at him forgetting to put up a mind barrier. his eyes widened as he blushed. He looked off to the side as he blushed. She looked at him and giggled. "He's even cuter when he blushes....but I wander why he's blushing" She thaught as she walked over to him.

When he saw her walking tward him he turned around so that she couldn't see his face. "silly why don't you want me to see your face I see daddy do that to momma all the time and he always hides it from momma but always shows it to me Makes me curious about how they can make their faces so red like that" She said as she pounced on his back. "Oh well uh I'm not really sure either it just happens in cirtin points of time" he lied. "Hmm.....Well if you say so......Yuyuz" She said as she giggled lightly. He blushed again. "Yuyuz........a pet name...........for me" He thaught as he looked at her getting back up on her horse. his blush grew redder. She looked at him and giggled some more. She trotted over to him. "Come on Yuyuz tell me...pweeeeeease" She begged as she gave him the puppy look and wimper. he blushed even more. "Well uh.....man I can never get enaugh of that face.............and it always makes me give in all too well.......Alright I'll tell.....but when I see you next time.....when your older" he said as he looked at her and smiled. She kept on giving him the puppy loook and wimper. "Alright Alright........but if I do.......then I dunno how you would react to it....so I'm not gonna tell you today...........I don't think I'm ready yet" he said as he looked down. "Look............I'll tell you something...if you tell me why you blush like that..........and the thing that I'll say....I'm not ready to say yet either" She said as she blushed slightly. he looked at her a sees her blushing. "Hey.........now Your blushing.......you look cute when you blush Anari" he said as he walked over to her. She looked off to the side as she blushed even more. "Y-you think so Yusei" She said shyly. "Of corse I do Ana................You're a beautiful girl and when you blush you look even cuter" He said sweetly and lovingly as he grabed her by the waist and set her down on the fence but grabed her hands so that he could help keep her balenced. he put one of his hands around her waist so that she wouldn't fall. She blushed as she felt his hand grab her waist. "What's goin on.....Why's he doin this" She thought as she looked at him and blushed. "Listen....Ana...........There's something that I've always wanted to tell you ever since I first met you........And I know that you've been wanting to say something to me ever since taht same day..........but neither of us have had the courage to say it so.....If we have something to say to eachother then we should just spill them already and see what our reactions are so.....Ladies first" He said as he stroked her hair. "If I tell it then.....I dunno if momma and daddy will approve of it if it came true" She said as she looked at him. "Your dad will...but your mom is gonna have to get used to it for a few years.....your dad may not like it at first because your still his little girl but he'll get used to it when your with him........You will be goin away with them but you'll come back here when your older" He said. "Your stalling Yuyuz...............You're hiding what you really wanted to say to me" "Your stalling too Ana........Ladies first" He said as he looked at her. "Well.....The thing is....I.....like you......I mean I.....................I love you" She said as she looked at him. He smiled then kissed her lips. "And I love you" He whispered into her ear as he touched his forehead to hers. Her eyes widened as she looked into his eyes. She blushed madly then smiled and kissed his cheeck. "We weren't stalling that time were we Yuyuz" She said lovingly as he began to kiss her neck gently. "Hey Yuyuz............You think we could keep this part between us" She asked as she looked into his eyes. he looked at her and smiled the he kissed her cheeck. "YOu know how I told Runa ant the word she said when she was born was Jack's name................My first word...........Was your name" She said as she looked at him. He smiled and gave her a small peck on the lips. "Anything you say Ana" He said as he kissed her lips passionately.

AS Jack and Runa we're riding through the park he looked down and noticed her looking up at the sky in wonder. "What's wrong Runa you haven't talked since we left the stables two hours ago" He asked. "What oh..........Sorry I was just thinking" she said as she looked ahead of her. "Like what" He asked. "About how Anari knew" She said. "Knew about what" he asked. "About who's name I said when I as born.........You told me that all Millennians say their first word the day they're born.....but the word that the babies say.......are they're true love's name" She exclamed. "You mean Anari Knew who's name you said when you were born but how" "She's a full Millennian that's how she knew" She said. "Hmmmm.....She is full Millennian like you but I don't think that's how she knew........I think she read your mind" He said as he looked down at her. She looked up at him. "Really.....I thaught that you had to be at least ten to read minds" She asked. "Well some full Millennians get their mind reading ability early.....I never imagined this early.......I think she's one of the rare Millennians........like you" He said. "rare Millennians" She said confusingly. "A Rare millennian....it's a Millennian that you don't see very often normally all you see is common Millennians like me and Yusei but they can be full, half, or partial blooded millennians to be common....the the thing that you can tell that there can be rare Millennians....Are the eyes" He said. "The eyes...How can you tell by them" She asked as she looked at them. "ever noticed that you have bi-colored eyes They're beautiful when the moon hits them" he asked as he looked at her and smiled sweetly. She nodded her head no. "When we get home tonight you should look in the mirrior.....You have one purple eye and one green eye While Anari has a gold eye and a silver eye Just like her parents..Her mother has the gold eyes and her father has the silver.....I take it that your father probibly had the purple eyes and your mother had the green...........That's strange....Yugi has purple eyes.......And yusei told me that Cerena has Green eyes" He said as he looked at her. "Well they have brothers and sisters that were born at the same time with them" She said. "How would you know you haven't met Cerena, Yugi and their brother and sister before.....Have you" "of corse not but.....I feel like I know them I just don't know how I do" She said as she looked down in sadness. "But I know that I don't know them cause my parents died when I was really young" She said as she looked at him and did her best 'fake' smile she had. "I know that's not a true smile that I know" he said as he smirked. "What makes you say that Jack" She said as she looked up at him. "Because I can see the tears building in your eyes" He said as he wiped the tears building up in her eyes. "How would you know.....You don't know what it's like to loose both of your parents at the same time" She said as more tears builded up in her eyes then started to fall. "I know how it feels to loose at least ONE parent..........my mother died when I was your age..........Her life was taken away by a huricane....that was ten years ago........She told my father to keep me safe but he tried to save her.............so I gotseperated from my father for at least a year but I was reunited with him when I was fallowing your parents to the park" He said as he stoped infront of a river. He dismounted then helped Runa down. "no....Your pain is nothing like mine.............You don't know what it's like to loose BOTH of your parents rather then just one" She said as she looked down in sadness. "What do you mean" "I mean what I say Jack..........you don't know what it's like to loose both of your parents" "Hmm....I get ya there you lost both parents and I only lost one" He said as he looked down at her. "He's lying....He didn't really lost his mother in a hericane...he's making it all up Just like Yakoto did" She thought. "YOUR LYING......You never lost your mother......Your just saying that cause you feel sorry for me......YOUR JUST LIKE YAKOTO........A LIER THAT JUST WANTS TO BE NEAR ME JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT I'M BEAUTIFUL WELL HERES SOME NEWS FOR YA I'M NOT" She said as tears formed in her eyes then streamed down her face. "LYING ME AS IF I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF LYING TO YOU LIKE YAKOTO DID" "I CAN TELL THAT YOUR LYING I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES" "He never cared about me......he'll always lie to me like Yakoto did" She thought as she cried. She wiped her tears trying not to let Jack see them. "WHAT OH SO NOW YOU GO AND COMPARE ME TO YAKOTO I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME I WOULD NEVER EVEN LIE TO YOU WHY IS IT THAT YOU THINK THAT I'M LYING TO YOU RIGHT NOW HUH" "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU I ONLY MET YOU A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN YOU SAVED ME FROM YAKOTO................And you don't know anything about me eventhough you've watched over me since the day I was born" She said as she tried to calm down and walked tward the Resteraunt Yakoto owns. "FINE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THAT WAY, RUNA I DON'T CARE AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU" He said as he turned around to faced Byakuya then realises that Runa was goin back to the Resteraunt. He ran after her and grabed her wrist. "You better not be goin back to that reateraunt are you" he said as he tried to calm down. "Jack....just....Let me go I need to go back to work....Yakoto's gonna kill me for not cmoning to work for a couple of days....And.......I do appreaciate all what you've done for me so.....thank you" She said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheeck broke free from his grip and walked tward the resteraunt. He just stood there as he watched her walk back to the resteraunt. "I LOVE YOU JACK I ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL NO MATTER WHAT" She yelled back without turning around. He stood there with wide eyes as he heard her confession loud and clear.

After a while He returns Byakuya to the stables then walks back home thinking about Runa and her safety. He thinks about what she said about Yakoto. Her words run through his mind and realzes what she really ment by the word 'kill'. He runs to the resteraunt only to see Runa tied up in a chair only in her undergarments and with cuts everywhere on her body. His eyes widen then sees Yakoto with a gun in his hand. "STOP IF YOU LAY ON HAND ON HER ONCE MORE I WILL KILL YOU" He yelled as he got infront of Runa. "JACK..........What are you doin here.......I thought you never wanted to see me again" She said as she tried to hide her Suprised and relived face but in a sad tone of voice as tears formed in her eyes. "I would never leave you Runa I've been thinking about what you said back there and the truth is........I love you too" Her eyes widened speachless on what he had said. After when Jack beat up Yakoto he was beat up too. He walked over to her and untied her. "Why did we fight like that Jack" "Well sometimes loved ones get into fights....Even when they don't want to" He picked her up bridal style and walkes back to his house holding her tightly in his arms. Then she looks down in sadness and says. "I'm sorry I got mad and yelled at you" "I'm sorry too....I shouldnt've yelled at you like I did" He said as he looked at her. she looked at him and smiled. He notices that there are still tears coming out of her eyes. He wipes them with his thumb then holds her chin in his thumb and forefinger and smiles. She smiles back holds his hand that held her chin and laid her head down on his shoulder. "Jack........Why do people fight......cause when I used to live on the streets I saw couples fighting.....saying things like they never want to see eachother again or wanting to get a devorce..........what is a Devorce" She asked. "people fight because they don't know what they are thinking at the time........Runa, a divorce is when two people get mad at each other want to separate and never want to see each other again" he said as he chuckled. "Never............again......I hope momma and daddy never wanted to get into one of those" She said Sadly as she looked down in sadness. "Don't worry I'm sure they wouldn't want to have one of those Listen I know all about you from when you were born... now it's time to know me" He said as he looked at her. "I hope you know this first I was telling you the truth about my mom I am sorry I put too much on you" "It's ok Jack.....I'm too young to understand fully on what it feels like to loose even just one of your parents......but it would be very hard for you if you lost both of them at the same time in one day" She said as she Looked at him and kissed his cheeck. he blushed as she kissed him. When they got back to the house she got dressed in the closet while Jack was sitting on her bed petting Yuki as Sakura was sleeping in her own dog bed. When Runa came out of the closet he smiled as she walked over to him and sat becide him. "So tell me about you" She said as she laid down. he told her about his life and why him and his parents watched over hers. "Why did you watch me over all these years, Jack Please tell me" She asked as she looked at him while still laying down. He looked at her and smiled. "Didn't I already tell you......My parents were like their guardian angels so I am yours" he said as he laid down next to her. "What were my parents like.....I was too young to know about them when they died" She asked. "Well your mother was very kind to others much like Anari is She had white hair like yours with green eyes and your father was strong like I am now he had black hair much like the streak you've got in your hair and had purple eyes they were both brave.........my father knew your father very well and was very sad when he heard that your parents had died but didn't know that they had a daughter.....you............I was the only one that knew that you were their daughter........father always thought that you were just some baby that always hung around them as if they addoped you or something" he explained as he looked over and saw her starring at him. he smiled and gave her a small peck on the lips. She blushed madly as he looked at her. he chuckled and pulled her into a hug. "I love you Runa....I'll always love you no matter what" "Even if we fight" She asked as he looked up at him. he looked down and smiled. "even if we fight........Which that'll never happen again cause we're gonna make a promise to never fight like we did again...ever" he said as he kissed her lips. she blushed even more. she could feel her muscles tence up but then they began to relax as she closed her eyes and kissed him back. He looked at her when they broke the kiss and gave her a nosie. She giggled and hugged him tightly. "So let's make a promise........That we'll never fight like we did ever again" He said as he sat up dragging her with him. She nodded her head in agreement. he looked at her and smiled. She got up and started to walk into her room. "It's getting late we should get to bed and it looks to me that there's anouther storm coming" He said as he looked out his window. "A...a s-storm" She said shakily. "Don't worry Runa if it does come then you can sleep with me alright" he said. "O-ok" She said as she walked into her room. When she climbed into her bed She looked at a poster of jack and yusei with their favorite monsters behind them. She smiled and tried to get some sleep.
