Church....

[sigh]

Knuckle, love has no boundaries, love is also a form of a very strong emotion you have to a person, like what you had with Hanako-san.

Even if we want to hate people, 'hate' is not our principle, as a priest, you should know that, right?

[smiles a little, trying to cheer Knuckle up]

[grins weakly]

Please don't tell him I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a pervert because
of the incident with that green haired man.....he hates me.

[looks ashamed]

........I love him with all my heart it hurts.

[smile a little]

Sometimes love can hurt people... Longing, and other things...

[look up]

I'm also hurt at the fact not being able to look at Rin-chan (his deceased wife) anymore.

...... But at least she is fine in the other world.

But, I'll say that you are lucky, Knuckle. You can resolve the problem with him, both of you are still alive. You have to be strong.

[tilts head back and lets out a barking laugh]

I'm not strong I was willing to let you and the others die to uphold my
vow.

[grins]

But maybe your right........sigh.........even after a hundred years it's no
less complicated.

[checks robe]

M-My bible!?

[checks his robes frantically]

[smile]

Glad you're back to normal.

Many things are actually complicated, if you should know.

[after a bond time with Maniakku, this is the second time Ryouhei's teary eyes appear.]

{{...and I was almost crying, really. ; _ ;}}

[looks up mid search]

Rin-chan was a wonderful person.....though nowhere near as pretty as
my Hanako!!

[grins impishly]

But seriously where is my bible Giotto gave that to me!!

[checks under pew]

[smile]

Rin-chan is a great lady that I loved with all my heart. I hope she's doing fine up there.

Maa, maybe I can help you look for the bible?

[nods]

I may have just lost Ryouhei I can't lose that too!!

[runs to the back rooms to look]

{{MUAHAHAHA!!! TIME FOR YOU TO APPEAR, RYOHEI!!!}}

[looks under the chairs in the front one by one]

[slowly stands up, with Knuckle's bible.]

[and with a sad expression he appears]

[looks up]

[surprised to see Ryohei]

Maa... Ryohei, when are you here?

[comes running out of the back room upset]

It's no there Asa-

[see's Ryouhei and freezes taking a marginal step back]

[somehow, Ryouhei's not dare to even look at Ugetsu.]

I..

[grips the Bible]

[just stands there like an idiot]

.......Please don't hate me, I-I'm sorry about yesterday!!

[looks to the ground]

Maybe I should leave.

[all the pep Asari gave him went out the window]

...

[look at Knuckle]

Maa, Knuckle, what did I say earlier, did you forget it or something...?

[looked uneasy about Ryohei seemed to know their conversation]

[shocked. till he lift his own head.]

MA-MATTE!!

[run in a fast speed. passing Ugetsu and pull Knuckel's robe.]

Matte, Knuckle. Onegai!

[shakes head]

O-Of course not but!!

[actually looks afraid of Ryouhei then is shocked by the pulling of his robe]

EH!?

[looks at Asari wondering if he's about to be punched no idea Ryouhei saw him with a gun]

[shakes head at Knuckle]

Hopefully he knows that it looks like Ryohei won't punch him or something...

I.. I.....

[the hand that is holding the robe... is shaking]

This is not good. I can't move!

... Rin-chan, please help me to do something about this...

[gives some hand gestures at Knuckle to show that Ryohei isn't going to punch or do anything harmful]

[and Ryouhei's heart begin to beating fast]

!!

[and to hide the pinkish red face, he forces himself to look down and stares at his own shoes.]

[is a little more then freaked out but says calmly]

I'm sorry.

[sighs not realizing Ryouhei's internal struggle]

Even after you had trusted me with your secret's i betrayed them......

......Drunk or not I commited a grievous sin please forgive me for my next action.

[pulls Ryouhei into a searing kiss full of apology]

[smile a bit at the scene of Ryohei and Knuckle]

... I guess, maybe they found their conclusions already.

[look up to the ceiling]

Maa, Hanako-san, I hope you're able to help Knuckle about this and keep Rin-chan company up there...

[kissed]

Ng..

[every time Ryouhei's kissed, Ryouhei feels weak.]

[the gripped Bible dropped and hit the floor]

..since when I become this sentiment?

[both of his own hands are slowly reaches Knuckle's cheeks]
