The Secrets of Past Lives (Closed; Hatter94 and Rackie; M)

Raicheal's answer was all Anna needed, really. She smiled, giggled. The anxiety seemed to be gone or weak enough to not be noticeable. "She is just perfect..." The girl thought. Perhaps Anna was just lost in her feelings. Perhaps it all was just because she found herself in a new situation. A spark of doubt appeared in her heart. Wasn't it too fast? Raicheal's hands were shaking, but so were Anna's. Only then she noticed that. Actually, her whole body started trembling. When did it start? Anna didn't know. There were more important things. It seemed like they both were blushing like never before. Would Raicheal accept Anna's love? Did she also have feelings for her? One thing Anna knew for sure- she felt special thanks to Raicheal. With Raicheal she didn't feel like a freak with a weird kind of albinism. She kept asking herself- isn't it too fast? Who cares? Those were her feelings. Anna moved slightly closer to Raicheal, completely ignoring the bleeding from her leg. Her heart was probably trying to jump out of her chest. She started having problems with slow and calm breathing, simply because Anna was too excited. "I must be brave! I must be confident! Now or never! Come on, come on, come on! I'm sure she's waiting for it! Tell her Anna!" She screamed at herself in her thoughts. At first, she opened her lips shyly, but couldn't speak. She felt weak. One deep breath later and a sigh, Anna looked Raicheal in the eyes- she seemed determined. It was very embarrassing for her, but that was the right moment. "Raicheal... W-Would you... uhm... would y-you... accept my... my love... then?" Anna asked slowly and nervously. She was barely able to speak, it was too embarrassing, too scary. However, she'd done that, she'd told her and there was no going back. Anna was ready to be rejected. She was mentally ready to have her heart crushed. She at least hoped Raicheal would still accept her as a friend though.


OOC: AAAAAAANNNND THERE'S NO GOING BACK INDEED! XD

Anna expected to be rejected. She was telling herself in her thoughts that Raicheal probably preferred her as a friend! Her heart was ready for that. On the other hand, she had hope. Hope that Raicheal would accept her love. Hope that Raicheal loved her as well. Anna had good reasons to assume that it was a possibility. After all, Raicheal's behavior suggested that she had some feelings towards her.

The rejection didn't happen though. To Anna's surprise, Raicheal hugged her tightly and started crying with joy. Did it mean that... she'd chosen the best moment to confess her feelings? The ninja girl felt happy. The whole world suddenly stopped existing. There was only her and Raicheal, nothing else mattered at that time. Her fear was gone, fully replaced by positive feelings. She wrapped her arms around Raicheal, hugging her back tightly. The girl spoke, making Anna's heart beat so fast and so loud that Raicheal could probably feel it in their hug. Her face was red, but she wasn't embarrassed. "You're more than good enough...
You're perfect... In my eyes... you're perfect. I'm... I'm the one who isn't good enough..." Anna whispered quietly, with her eyes closed. She enjoyed every second of their closeness. "But... but... yeah... I... I love you Raicheal... You stole my heart..." Anna added, feeling that tears of happiness appeared in her eyes. In the end, they both started to cry with joy.


OOC: THIS IS HOW WE SAIL A SHIP ON SERP! HAHA! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! IT'S GLORIOUS! I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IT! HAHA :D

Anna giggled. She felt special. She felt truly loved. It was a great feeling. It was addicting. Anna found their situation very sweet and cute and she wanted more. "Really... We met today... and yet... I feel like I've known her for years... This is weird but... It's also great" The girl thought. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she remembered what actually caused her to confess her feelings. What caused her to realized her feelings towards Raicheal. That's right, it was their conversation about "it". A bright blush appeared on her face because of that. Luckily, Anna was hiding her face in Raicheal's shoulder. Well, her reaction was justified, after all, she'd admitted that she would do "it" with a person she loves and then she also confessed her love to Raicheal. So, technically she told Raicheal that she would do "it" with her right before telling her she loves her. The realization made her so embarrassed she became speechless. Once Anna calmed down enough to be able to speak she whispered- "Oh Raicheal... Just... I don't want to say something silly... but damn it... I want to stay with you forever now... You're too great..."
Anna got distracted by their little cute sweet love moment so much that she forgot about her bleeding leg. Despite her being too embarrassed by it, she wanted to continue their conversation. After all, Raicheal more than ever deserved to know more about her new girlfriend.
"S-So... Uhm... Do you want to continue our little chat? I-I mean... Do you have any more questions? R-remember that you can ask about anything." Anna whispered.

"Yes, you're right. Let's go!" Anna said enthusiastically, not yet realizing that she was going to introduce her brother to her girlfriend! It wasn't important at that moment, obviously. She wanted to enjoy her time with Raicheal to its fullest. Anna was about to start walking when she remembered about her leg. With a sigh, she took her scarf off and wrapped it around her leg to stop the bleeding. She basically used her scarf as a tourniquet. Anna definitely needed to have her bandages changed. "Annoying damned leg. Being wounded sucks." The ninja complained, irritated by the fact that she let that bandit stab her. "Let's go! Anna ignored the pain and just started walking. She was limping a bit, but it didn't seem to be a problem for her. That's when she realized the important thing... Her face turned red. "O-Oh... N-now that I think about it... I'll be introducing my brother to... to my girlfriend... T-That might be... awkward." Anna mumbled sheepishly.

Anna smirked at Raicheal, then she winked at her. "Depends. How many times are you willing to do it before I end up having to wear them on my head for wasting your time?" The girl asked jokingly, a quiet snicker followed her words. Obviously, she wasn't planning on getting any more blood on her trousers.
The ninja girl was glad Raicheal was holding her up, it certainly helped her walk as she didn't need to put too much pressure on her leg with the weight of her body. On the other hand, her state allowed her to enjoy being so close to Raicheal. A blessing in disguise? Perhaps! The blush on her cheeks and ears refused to disappear, it got even brighter as Raicheal replied to her words.
"I'm sure he'll be happy for us, he's a great guy! B-but... s-still... it...it might be a bit embarrassing!" Anna admitted quietly. The girl leaned on Raicheal a bit and let out a quiet purr. The pain in her wound began to disappear, so the ninja allowed herself to become less careful about her steps. Instead, she just let herself enjoy their sweet moment.
"So, accidentally we've turned this into a date." Anna spoke, sharing her sudden realization with Raicheal. She seemed content with the turn of events.

Anna listened to Raicheal and which each sentence, with each word, her face was getting more and more redder. Especially when Raicheal told her that she was cuter when she was embarrassed. That turned Anna's face bright red. "I...I'm not... c-cute..." She said quietly.
Once Raicheal suggested going on an actual, official first date, Anna smiled happily. Her heart started beating faster again and she forgot about the whole world. "O-Of course I want! Wh...when do you have time a-a-and where would you like to go?" Anna asked her girlfriend, stuttering out of embarrassment. Her mind started working really fast. In just a few seconds it produced various scenarios for their first official date! Obviously, due to her lack of experience in dating, she had no idea what would be the best idea, but she knew that with Raicheal's help they'll have the best date ever.
Anna barely noticed that they had almost reached their destination.

So Raicheal loved Anna's cuteness. It was embarrassing, but the ninja girl accepted the compliment. "W-Well... I-I'm not very girly... B-But... for you I can be cute..." She replied quietly, clearly embarrassed by her own words.
Finally, they stopped in front of Anna house. It was a normal looking house with a small garden in the front yard. The building had two floors, white walls and it was built in European style. Anna stopped and looked at Raicheal.
"Then... W-would you like to... to go with me on a date tomorrow? At... let's say... twelve o'clock?" The girl asked, stuttering but despite that there was a wide smile on her face. The blush on her cheeks didn't want to disappear but Anna seemed very happy despite all the embarrassment. Anna glanced over at the house. "We've arrived, by the way." She informed her girlfriend.

Anna's face was slowly returning to normal when Raicheal said that she is cuter in a skirt. The ninja's face turned bright red once again, giving her girlfriend a sign that her teasing was successful. On the other hand, Anna was so in love with her girlfriend that she would probably do everything just to make her happy. "I...I don't have many skirts though..." She said quietly, acting as if she was ashamed of the fact. "In fact... I only have one skirt in my wardrobe... I-if you like seeing me in s-s-skirts so much t-then... Y-You'll have to go shopping with me..." Anna told her quietly. Her blush was so big it even reached her ears.

Once their conversation returned to the topic of their date, Anna smiled happily. She clearly was excited about it! And the half-hug, she enjoyed it so much. It all made her come to a conclusion that love was probably the sweetest addiction. "Sure! So tomorrow outside the dorms got it!" Anna said enthusiastically as she gently got hold of her girlfriend's hand.

The garden was quite small, yet colorful. Yellow and red clearly dominated on the scene. There was a tiny pond on the left side, around which there were few flowers, but in the pond, there were beautiful white lilies. Also, on that side, Raicheal could see orange marigolds along with colorful tulips. Some fish could be seen swimming in the water. On the right side of the garden dominated colorful roses and hydrangeas. On that side, there was growing a small apple tree which at that time of the day was like an umbrella above the flowers. Daisies could be seen on both sides of the garden, nevertheless, they did fit into the scenery.

Anna looked around the garden. "Well... It was my brother's idea... He said that to bring more life into our home we should have a garden in the front yard and here it is. He did most of what you can see here, though... However... well... it was my idea to plant colorful roses." The ninja explained as she leaned against the wall to let her leg rest. "Call me simple, but out of all flowers... roses are my favorite... There's something magical about their." Anna added.

Anna waved her hand when Raicheal said that she needn't buy herself a skirt if she doesn't want to. "To be honest, I wouldn't even suggest it if I wasn't willing to try. Besides... Well... to be fair... I... look quite... uhm... cute... in my school uniform... and, w-well... the main reason why I don't like skirts is actually that... well... I don't want anyone to see... under... it... during combat." The ninja explained, looking away out of embarrassment. Obviously, spats and shorts are a thing, but in Anna's opinion, that'd look funny with a skirt.

When Raicheal hugged her again, Anna was forced to put way too much weight onto her wounded leg. Sharp pain went through her entire leg, but the girl hit it well to not worry Raicheal too much. "Mhm! I just hope I'll be able to come up with a nice plan for it! Hm... there's also another problem... I don't know what to put on for our date" Anna said, as she scratched the back of her head. A nervous and embarrassed, quiet laugh left her mouth when she started talking about her lack of proper clothing.

Anna listened to Raicheal's touching monologue, feeling the strong emotion that her girlfriend's words carried with them. Everything was going straight to the ninja girl's heart. She realized that she was talking about her past and about her dreams. Such a sweet, simple poetic confession seemed to carry so much meaning in it. Anna put a hand on her own chest, feeling as it started beating faster. And once Raicheal turned back to face her girlfriend, Anna hugged Raicheal tightly. A moment of silence followed that moment, until Anna whispered, with her eyes closed- "C-Could I... could I... be your sun then..?" Anna wanted to see Raicheal happy, she wanted to see her re-bloom and leave all the bad thing behind in the past.

Anna looked away for a second when Raicheal told her she could wear her school uniform for their date. Well, after some modifications it would be proper for the purpose they wanted to use it for. "You really want to see me in my school uniform, don't you?" The ninja replied with a smirk, teasing her back. A giggle followed her words "Fine, you'll see it today. After all, I need to change my clothes. And.. uhm... I might wear the skirt from the uniform on our date... " She told her girlfriend, smiling widely.

Anna hugged her back, and closed her eyes, enjoying the closeness. "I love you so much..." The girl whispered quietly, hiding her face in Raicheal's chest. The moment of silence followed, allowing the ninja to enjoy it. Then the ninja girl released Raicheal from the hug and smiled happily and lovingly at her. "We can continue inside." Anna suggested as she opened the door to the house, to let Raicheal in.

Inside the house, there was a small area with a coat hanger and a mirror. The walls in that area were white and the tiles were serving as the floor. Right behind that area, there was a hall. It looked slightly from the entrance area. The walls remained white there, but the floor was built out of wooden panels. There were a few photos, pictures and paintings on the walls. Those were mostly landscapes like sea and mountains.

Anna was about to say something when she got interrupted by a feminine voice. "Look who's back!" That voice said. Anna looked in the direction from which the words got spoken.
Aurora Foster was leaning against a wall at the end of the hall she was smiling in a friendly way at the girl. Soon she approached the two. The first thing that was easily noticeable about Aurora was her left arm... it was a black prosthesis. It looked very advanced and murder, futuristic even. It was difficult to not notice it as the girl was wearing a white tank top without sleeves.
"Oh, hi Aurora. What are you doing here?" Asked the ninja smiling.
"I needed Mark to replace one part in my arm. It was causing a delay between my thoughts and the movement." Spoke the girl calmly as she presented her mechanical arm to the two. Then she noticed Anna's leg. For her expression, it was easy to guess that she seemed very surprised. "Wait a moment! You got wounded? YOU?! How?!" Asked Aurora.

Anna blushed and looked away for a second. "W-Well... It happened when I was saving her from some gangsters and... well... one of them... was strong and he... well..." Anna told her friend and pointed at Raicheal. Her blush was getting bigger and bigger. "Uhm.. Aurora... Meet Raicheal... She... is... she is... m-m-my..." Anna said, stuttering. It was very embarrassing for her to talk about all that happened.
"Your what? Come on Anna, I've never seen you in such state. Are you in love or what?" Aurora interrupted giving the two a puzzled look. She put her hands on her own hips as she stared at them.

That's when Anna's face turned red completely. "Y-Yes... Raicheal is my... girlfriend..." The ninja girl said, mumbling a bit, as she hugged Raicheal gently to hide her face in her girlfriend's shoulder.
Aurora grinned widely. She seemed happy and proud of her friend. "Awesome! You two really look cute together!
" She commented.
Anna smiled, feeling better from her friend's words. She cleared her throat once she calmed down. "Raicheal, meet Aurora. She's that witch friend I've mentioned." The albino girl said as she grinned.

"Stiches?" Aurora asked Anna briefly. The ninja shook her head. The witch approached the two. "There's no need to set her down, to be honest. I can work with her standing." Aurora told Raicheal, smiling warmly. She then kneeled in front of Anna and removed the scarf from her thigh. When she noticed that there was no hole in her patient's trousers, she just sighed and pulled Anna's trousers down. It happened without a warning which caused Anna's face to turn red immediately. Aurora just ignored everything else and focused on her job. She quickly removed the bandages and started examining the wound. Stab wound... Knife... Hm... Your opponent must've been quite strong. I'm surprised you've managed to walk with a wound like this..." Aurora commented and her comment made Anna grin proudly. "I think my opponent was a meister... I'm not sure though. Oh and... Haven't you forgotten how badass I am?" The albino girl told her pretending to be praising herself. Aurora grinned devilishly and just pressed the wound with her metal finger, which made Anna hiss in pain. "Y-You..." The ninja girl muttered.

Aurora just shrugged and put her natural hand on her friend's wound. She took a deep breath and muttered her mantra. "Healing..." The witch whispered, casting her spell. Her hand and Anna's wound started glowing with green light. Aurora put a lot of magical energy into her spell which allowed her to finish the job in just about two minutes.

"Here, it's like new. No sign of the wound. Not even a scar." Aurora told them as she stood up and looked at the two with a smile.

Anna quickly pulled up her trousers and looked at the witch. The blush once again appeared on her cheeks"Thanks, Aurora..." She mumbled. Anna completely forgot to ask Aurora whether she was able to remove scars too.
"No problem!" The witch said and then she approached the door. "Alright, you two lovebirds, I gotta go. Have fun! It was nice to meet you Raicheal!" Aurora said as she opened the door. "Oh! Raicheal! By the way, you really look like a perfect girl for Anna! That's why I expect you to take care of that reckless dummy! Bye, bye, for now." The witch said before she left.
Anna stared at the door, feeling that her face just turned completely red. "W-Well..." The ninja girl mumbled quietly, embarrassed at everything Aurora has said and done in this post.
