Pucca Tragic Love Mini Story: Garu's Confession.

It was a particularly beautiful summer's night in Sooga village. A full moon glimmered brightly as a gentle breeze swept all throughout the town, Accompanied by a calm silence except for the occasional chirp of a cricket or the twinkling of wind chimes. However Garu didn't notice any of these things as he sprinted through the empty streets, determined to complete his mission before he had a chance to change his mind.

Garu reached his destination quickly climbing towards the open window with silence and ease. He was about to step down into the room when he hesitated. "What the hell was I thinking?" He thought looking down at the rose in his hand. "You miss her. ", a voice in his head said mockingly. "The hell I do!" Garu thought deciding that he should leave but his feet refused to move.

It had been almost a week since he had threw Pucca out of his house simply for making him breakfast. Of course He might not have reacted so badly if she had just asked him before breaking into his house again. In any case he had still been to hard on him. She didn't brush off his rejection like she usually did. Instead she returned his anger twice fold and wound up throwing an array of kitchen utensils at him before leaving muttering obscenities under her breath.

He now stood in the middle of her room in the dead of night on sheer impulse. No reason to back out now, he thought trying to reason with himself though he knew that if she found out she'd never let him live it down. Garu moved as quickly as he could in the dark placing the rose on her bed side table. He made his way back to the window ready to leave when a soft whimper made him look back.

Pucca lay entangled in the sheets of her american styled bed muttering something incoherent in her sleep. Against his better judgment Garu walked back next to the bed kneeling beside it for a better look. She was curled up in a fetal position cuddling a Garu plushie, dark waves of her raven hair laid strewed all over the bed. Garu's eyes widened a bit upon realizing he'd never seen her this way.

He sighed, Pucca could be a pain there was no doubt about that but lately she had been less of an annoyance and more… It was too hard to describe. "You'd be lying if you said you didn't like her at least a little bit." He told himself silently.

Without thinking about it he lifted up hand to brush away her messy bangs. "She looks so delicate… almost as fragile as the day we met." Garu thought now smirking. He knew better then anyone not to let her appearance fool him. Pucca easily out ranked all of the fighters in Sooga village. Garu didn't mind the fact that she could take care of herself, in fact he liked not having to save her every two minutes unlike most girls, it was constantly being saved by her that bothered him. That and her constant displays of affection but that was a whole other story by itself.

For almost five years she had constant distraction in his studies and the vain of his existence. "You're a real piece of work you know that?" he said giving the young delivery girl a rare smile that she'd never see. "So are you but that doesn't stop me from loving you now does it?"

Needless to say Garu almost jumped out of his skin before he realized that the young girl was talking in her sleep. After catching his breath he scrambled over to the window. Looking back one last time Garu frowned slightly, "Stupid hormones." He muttered jumping off the ledge.
