__"That's b- Mmn?!" Her breath was suddenly taken away into another kiss which she more than gladly reciprocated. Her mind went blank for a second and her heart beat wildly in her chest. Only her mind calmed once the sudden moment of even more titillating kissing left her on her back for a few more moments. "Wow." She gasped softly to inhale then sighed with apparent appreciation afterward. Kenshin iterated his promise to her from their first kiss earlier and her head turned to the side he laid beside her. Ada only nodded at first, clearly quite taken by that particular dose of initiative. The following moment of silence between them was quite appreciated. Ada could tell by his tone and expression that he was regretful to switch gears but she knew it was for the best.
Ada laid onto her side to engage in the conversation. His words caused her to feel somewhat melancholic, recalling that Hajime was essentially on his death bed. 'I will have to ask him much, while I can.' She thought, feeling bad that Kenshin had so little time to truly get to learn of and know his family before these responsibilities were to be thrust upon him. Ada smiled and gave an approving nod to his question, "Yes, that is fine but..." she paused to draw attention to the index finger she held up as a gesture of her one condition to be, "... only if you'll allow for me to cook for you sometimes too, darling." Admittedly, she wasn't sure what she could do as small gestures and tokens of her affection, but hearing that he had already considered eating together she still felt behind. She hated to admit it, but she would likely need some advice of her own going forward. Then it really clicked. Ada had been so focused on dealing with things nearly out of her control that daily things like her work at the APD and even Azayaka had fallen out of focus. "Hm... perhaps we should keep things strictly professional at work?" After saying it aloud she felt silly. Of course that was to be the way of things, and that was how it should be. "Sorry, I know that was a little obvious. I look forward to meeting your family and introducing you to the rest of the Rio family. I promise they aren't all as bad as Shojiro was." She tried to make light of her own upcoming workloads. Realigning the Rio from Shojiro's tyranny was going to be a difficult venture, but she had a plan that she trusted in as much as any other. For the most part, X would have to keep monitoring Azayaka while they investigated the whereabouts of Project Zero. That just left her duties to the APD and Arashigakure. Things were going to be busy, but she was more eager than apprehensive about the future now.

▱▰▱Kenshin felt an almost competitive satisfaction when he heard Ada's pleasure from his last kiss. Especially since she was clearly quite unsatisfied with their first kiss. He knew that he was now on the right track. Her first response to him would be met by a response of his own. "He's going to request our audience soon and I know that he'll enjoy your company more than mine." Kenshin stated bluntly as their relationship would probably continue to be quite tense for the rest of Hajime's life and there seemed to be no helping that. With her permissive nod to his request to have dinner with her regularly he already began thinking of all that he would need to learn how to cook. Kenshin was accustomed to making his routine protein and greens-rich plates of little variation but now was certainly the time to branch out. However, the question that followed caused Kenshin's guilt and doubt to well up in his throat. When she followed her question regarding professionalism with an apology Kenshin's eyes returned to their usual sharpness. "Come here and listen to me." Kenshin quickly brought Ada into his arms again with their faces across from each other again. He then rolled onto his back looking up at her face and fought the mighty urge to kiss her again. Kenshin's cape was now draped over both of them as he stared sharply into the windows of her soul. "What I'm doing by being in a relationship with my subordinate is wrong. I've terminated other officers for doing what I've done. This isn't your fault, it's mine, as your commanding officer. By breaking the police code I no longer have a right to wear my badge. This will be my last week as the captain of the APD before I transfer power to lieutenant Kanzaki." The honorable man spoke earnestly of his regrets and intentions. This was his only blemish on an otherwise spotless police record. Kenshin's current tone and facial expression would be pronounced if not familiar to Ada. And yet, there was a sense of pain in his voice at leaving the force behind. "For a long time I thought that I'd be in the force for my entire life. That I would never break the code and would always enforce the law to the letter. But now I have new duties as the soon to be lord of the Hyuga clan and as your husband. What I didn't realize before is that sometimes the older, unwritten laws are stronger. A man must stand by his wife and family against all others. When I retire from the police I will begin my duties in Hajime's court until it's time to take my rightful place." Oh how Kenshin loathed change and it was plainly true that leaving the police to become a nobleman was a tectonic shift in his life. "The emperor has thrown his full backing behind my claim and wishes to entrust me in a greater capacity than merely as a noble clan patriarch and advisor. We'll see what comes of that but it's possible that I'll be able to administer justice and protect the empire and even Arashigakure in a greater capacity than I do currently. That is my goal." While the future was uncertain, Shiro's plan to place him in the western lightning country to guard the entry into his realm was a tantalizing one but there were still many details to iron out. Kenshin finished speaking on this topic as he looked away from her for a moment before immediately turning back into her gaze. "Love is the death of my duty to the police but the birth of something new. I love you and thank you for that." A new chapter in Kenshin's life was beginning at long last. He lifted his hand to the back of her head before gently pressing her face into his neck and kissing her cheek. The gesture was that of a man leaning on his woman as he stared at the future ahead.
Byakugan Status: • Inactive Tenseigan Status: • Inactive Human Sage Mode Status: • Inactive Status Effects: • None
Personal Attributes ▱▰▱ Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a juken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. ▱▰▱ Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. ▱▰▱ Physical Prowess | The Hyuga gains a [2] point increase in any stat after mastering stage 3 of the gentle fist and another [2] points after mastering stage 6 for a total of [4] rather than [2]. In addition, the Hyuga gains [3] custom slots to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and [1] taijutsu style slot. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. ▱▰▱ Thundering Justice | Lightning-based techniques used by the Hatake are granted a concussive blast in the form of a sonic boom upon impact. This concussive blast has a range of five feet per rank of the parent technique. Those within the area of the blast have a knock-back effect applied if their body rank is lower than the parent technique. In addition, deafness is applied upon impact for two posts. ▱▰▱ Tsunami of Justice | Kenshin gains access to the water element. ▱▰▱ Ionic Blade | The user's bukijutsu and basic combat weapon strikes may be made complex to add their lightning element to the attacks. This causes tiered paralysis on contact equal to the rank of the technique it is paired with. ▱▰▱ Blessings of Valor | As a world-famous hero, you are forever bestowed with an extra reward in arc, timeskip, and guildwide events. ▱▰▱ Short-Circuiting Juken | For an additional amount of chakra that is half of the amount spent for the original technique, Hatake chidori raiton can be applied to complex juken techniques to inject the enemy's body with lightning. The Hatake's chidori raiton inflicts a tier of full-body paralysis that is equivalent to the technique's rank up to the second tier. This paralysis lasts for two posts per rank of the technique at a maximum of six posts. Applying Chidori chakra to the Juken consumes a second offensive activation. ▱▰▱ Storm Sage | Lightning techniques cast while in sage mode and when enhanced by nature chakra burn brighter and inflict a tier of blindness that is equivalent to the technique's rank. This blindness lasts for two posts per rank of the technique at a maximum of six posts. ▱▰▱ Stern Spirit | Reiken no Michi virtue states cost one rank less in stamina to activate and maintain. The stamina cost of the virtue states cannot be reduced beyond this. ▱▰▱ Raijin Drum | While in human sage mode, Kenshin is able to self-korabo one lightning technique, one wind technique, and one water technique into one three-times powerful truth-seeking orb. This consumes the chakra of the three techniques on his nature chakra reserves but only one offensive action. This can only occur once for every three posts. ▱▰▱ Conduction Mastery | Kenshin is able to self-korabo his lightning and water techniques more efficiently by paying 10 less chakra when one raiton and one suiton are combined.

Weapon Specs ▰ Weapon Name: Getsuruitō ▰ Weapon Type: Katana & Rapier [ Reiken Spirit Sword ] ▰ Weapon Size: 38 Inches Total | 30 Inch Blade | 8 Inch Hilt ▰ Style Categorization: Medium Sword ▰ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs ▰ Stat Increase: +2 Speed ▰ Elemental Affinity: Lightning ▰ Description: Getsuruitō (月涙刀, Moon Tear Sword) is a legendary sword that was reworked and merged with the standard-issue Kumogakure Police Department officer rapier commissioned to Kenshin Kosei named Purity. The original form of the sword is a steel and dark blue katana with a bronze crossguard and dragonhead handle. It also has a rapier form that was refined from Purity and is entirely constructed from steel with a dark blue handle and basket hilt. The katana and rapier forms are the same size and constructed of the same materials. Getsuruito was considered a legendary artifact by the people of Seizan as it was wielded by an ancient general. When the rusted blade was awarded by the locals to Kenshin Kosei he discovered that it had the unique ability to merge with and empower one other weapon. When the katana was reworked to its fullest potential it had the abilities of his own weapon in addition to incredible lightning abilities. ▰ Ability Summary: Righteous Sword of the Sentinel [ Senchineru no Seigi no Ken ] | Rank E | Bloodline | Spiritual All forms of Hyuuga techniques including the gentle fist can be used through the sword for the 10 posts that this technique is active. This means that strikes involving the blade cause physical damage including stab wounds as well as seal tenketsu points and any other effects of the technique used through the sword. An additional 5 chakra can be applied to the blade to prevent it from causing physical damage from thrusting but instead seal tenketsu points and inflict pain similar to a stab wound in the area struck but slashing attacks can still cause damage. Half the resource cost of techniques from the rapier style of Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi applied allows the technique to carry the tenketsu sealing effects of a same-rank palm strike such as a B-Rank carrying 64 Palms effects. Getsuruito must be in its rapier form to use this ability and 5 chakra can be spent upon activation of this technique to transform it as such. The Righteous Sword of the Sentinel technique has a 10 post duration before necessitating re-activation and costs an E-Rank amount of chakra. The initial activation of this technique consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not.
Smiting Blade of the Night Watch [ Naitō Otchi no Sumittinguburēdo ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Spiritual When this technique is activated it crackles violently with night blue lightning for the entire duration. The electricity from the blade also forms bolts of lightning over the body of the user and appears to supercharge them. Whenever the blade is swung or thrust over the duration the user can fire a concentrated blast of ten bolts of lightning to accompany the strike equal to the rank applied but for only half the cost to initiate the technique. Hatake, Raiu, and Sage enhanced lightning can pass through the blade and apply to these lightning bolts. The bolts cause a thunderously deafening sonic boom and can inflict tier 2 burns upon direct contact with the lightning. Additionally, these lightning bolts can be freely applied to all complex bukijutsu for no action cost to smite enemies. The only action cost is when the technique is activated and all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not consume actions and only chakra. This ability can be used in both forms of Getsuruito.
Draconic Sabre of Moon Sundering [ Getsu Sandaringu no Dorakonikku Seibā ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Complex This is the original ability of the ancient Getsuruito blade and thus requires the original katana form. 5 chakra can be spent to transform the blade to its original form upon activation of this technique. Crackling and thunderous dark blue lightning can be applied to the katana's edge at any rank and the same lightning can form a dragon head formed from electricity over the body of the user for 10 posts. This allows all spiritual techniques the sword comes into contact with to be slashed through and even cut in half at the same rank despite the complex nature of the technique. For half of the original cost to activate the technique a same-rank spiritual electrical energy slash can be sent out from the slash of the blade. This same cost can be applied to any complex bukijutsu to achieve the same effect. The original 10 post activation of this ability consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities do not.

__ Ada came to lay close with Kenshin as asked, only momentarily surprised as he rolled her atop of him. She blushed as her posture naturally came to straddle him. Their faces remained close, even as this and she too struggled to resist the urge to take another kiss from her man. In fact, the kiss against her cheek even caused her to quietly swoon. Ada listened intently as spoke of his intention to officially resign and Ada felt her heart sink. 'I admit that it is below our standard of professionalism, but... this is his career. Although, given both of our new responsibilities then perhaps...' Kenshin's resolve was, as always, so strong and certain. Ada just smiled as he segued into his greater responsibilities then nodded approvingly. "I love you too, Kenshin." It felt like it was getting easier to not just say, but meaningfully admit those important three words every time she heard them from him.
Ada removed herself from atop of Kenshin to more comfortably sit beside him again before adding, "Therefore, I will walk beside you and help you shoulder our new burdens together. Your wife will always support you and all that you endeavor to do. Our roles in our country have never been simple, but we always strive to make things better for all. You, for the sake of justice, Me, for the sake of prosperity. Together, we will make the Empire shine even brighter than it has in the last decade." Ada's gaze shifted toward the nearby pond reflecting the full moon's glory over its undisturbed surface like a magnificent mirror. "That is why I too will be resigning from the APD. I will remain longer to help Kojiro for a while, and to help refine cadet Zeshin toward whatever path best suits his impressive potential. Future generations are our legacies as warriors." She chuckled softly at the overlapping memory that went with that last line, "At least that is what Master Masami always said. I think I truly understand what he meant now." Ada returned her full attention to her fiancee and felt renewed elation. "The future is finally one of hope and freedom, and I thank you for that. Not just in this union, but for everything you have ever done and sacrificed to become the amazing man that you are today. Wherever you go, I want to be there too. I may not be as strong as you are now, but I promise that failure and loss will be the least of your worries as long as I live." Ada wasn't sure how many, if any, had ever truly complimented or shown their appreciation for the standoffish, stalwart sentinel of justice; however, she felt it most pertinent to be especially clear with him now. He'd show so much of himself to her and just this night was enough for her to confirm that he was still as human as she was despite his quasi-godly might.

▱▰▱Kenshin's heart swelled again when Ada returned his expression of love. Hearing her say it grounded the whirlwind of romance he was experiencing after years of waiting. He sat up the moment Ada rolled off of his torso. When they sat together he listened to her various oaths to him. Kenshin turned his gaze away from her to drink in the reflection of the moon with his beloved at his side. He nodded decisively in response to her intention to resign as well. Another nod followed her quotation. "Wise words." Kenshin briefly noted this but his tone hinted with a minor sense of subtlety that he was referring to more than Master Masami's quote. Their gazes met again and Kenshin found comfort in her eyes. Her words of admiration caused him to feel warmly accepted in a way that he never had before. He felt the corners of his mouth upturn softly as he stared directly into her visage. The rare and genuine closed-lipped smile made it clear in its sincerity that the stern man was saving it just for her. The flattery he felt from her admiration was immense as he felt her stealing into his once-solemn heart. "You're the strongest person I know, Lady Rio." Kenshin modestly countered her statement about her lesser strength compared to his own. The latter part of his strong but kind verbal riposte referring to her title was in direct reference to her powerful bequeathment of authority over her clan. He thought of no one else who could possibly do what she had done scarcely an hour ago. After a few seconds of looking at her in sweetly admiring silence, he recalled her love of repartee. "Do you think Hyosuke Hikari still plans to marry you?" His light smile persisted and adorned an otherwise permanent scowl to soften the straight tone of his witty question. Although Kenshin was a true novice of humor, he felt a strange sense of desperation to make her laugh. The ever-so-slight levity somewhat overwhelmed him as he waited for her reaction to his joke. "I'm sorry, Ada. I've never felt this happy before and I don't know how to express it. At most I've been satisfied with my duties wedged between long periods of focus. I just need you to know that I'm trying." Kenshin gave a relieved sigh after he admitted this as if a weight was lifted. He wanted her to understand that he was truly content with her even if he struggled to show it. Little did he know that she accepted him to the fullest extent. He grabbed her hand as they sat together as if to reinforce his point. Perhaps it was due to her emphatic statements of commitment and approbation that he felt more confident in discussing his emotions. He saw the outlines of her face glow in the full moonbeam and became overwhelmed again. "I've never told you this before because it seems common, but you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Kenshin spoke with unfeigned infatuation that he understood that he would need to express at some point and this moment seemed most ideal. Ada's outstanding character was more central to his love but his physical attraction to her was alarming in its unbridled ability to weaken him. Although his smile faded into his natural expression his eyes were still softly focused on her face. He also silently pondered on how he could improve his expressions. Ada seemed to bring out a sense of mercy and kindness from depths of his spirit that he did not know existed. Perhaps there was room for him to explore his strangled sense of mercy after years of exclusive focus on justice. Logically, he understood that he would need to approach ruling as a lord differently than leading the police force but he was not quite ready to discuss it yet.
Kenshin looked at the ground and back up to her sapphire hues again before speaking. "It's getting late. I should...probably escort you home now." He was pained to say it because all he wanted to do was sit in the garden and talk to her all night, but there was much for both of them to rest for on the morrow. Kenshin stood and would help her up with his hand that still held her's. He then gently removed his cloak from her and latched it back onto his shoulders. He formally held his arm out to lead her out of the garden. After unlocking the gate, they would join the Hyuga guard in the carriage before he whistled at the horse to get a move on. Kenshin sat with his betrothed and quietly held her hand in satisfaction of the astounding evening they spent together. Once they arrived outside of her home, he would lead her again by the arm to her doorstep. "Until tomorrow, my love. I'll be here tomorrow night with dinner if you'll have me." Kenshin released her arm and stood directly in front of her. The taller man looked down at her with his back turned to the street with her standing between him and the door. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her into a close embrace. Kenshin leaned his head down and gifted her a passionate goodbye kiss. He would keep his lips pressed to hers for an unyielding amount of time, ultimately allowing her to decide when she was satisfied. The couple would be allowed to enjoy each other's embrace with decent privacy on the screened porch. As a result, Kenshin held nothing back in his expression of affection. He would wait for Ada to enter her home before turning back and entering his carriage. Thus concluding the best night of his life.

The bolts cause a thunderously deafening sonic boom and can inflict tier 2 burns upon direct contact with the lightning. Additionally, these lightning bolts can be freely applied to all complex bukijutsu for no action cost to smite enemies. The only action cost is when the technique is activated and all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not consume actions and only chakra. This ability can be used in both forms of Getsuruito.
Draconic Sabre of Moon Sundering [ Getsu Sandaringu no Dorakonikku Seibā ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Complex This is the original ability of the ancient Getsuruito blade and thus requires the original katana form. 5 chakra can be spent to transform the blade to its original form upon activation of this technique. Crackling and thunderous dark blue lightning can be applied to the katana's edge at any rank and the same lightning can form a dragon head formed from electricity over the body of the user for 10 posts. This allows all spiritual techniques the sword comes into contact with to be slashed through and even cut in half at the same rank despite the complex nature of the technique. For half of the original cost to activate the technique a same-rank spiritual electrical energy slash can be sent out from the slash of the blade. This same cost can be applied to any complex bukijutsu to achieve the same effect. The original 10 post activation of this ability consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities do not.

__ Ada nodded thankfully to Kenshin's returned compliment acknowledging her own strength. She couldn't deny that she'd proven her own version of might a few times, but it was never to be as tangible as what Kenshin had. She turned her eyes back up to him with an expression of surprise at his joke, but that quickly turned to a soft chuckle and a dismissive, short shake of her head to each side. "Fufu... I certainly hope he understands the impossibility. It's fine, Kenshin. I know you are and I love you all the more for that." She knew better than possibly all but Yui that he was giving his all to prove himself in ways he never anticipated relevant to his previous lifestyle. She could only imagine the difficulty and nature of the hurdles he had to overcome now and in the future. However, she had full confidence and faith that the man could rise to the challenge. Ada would blush with a shy appreciation for the next heartfelt truth Kenshin expressed to her, reminding her again of his unerring commitment. She again smiled to him and responded with her own feelings as they came to her, "And you are the most honorable and valiant man I have ever known." Her love for Kenshin was assuredly born from his character rather than physical attraction. Of course, she would by lying profusely if she tried to deny that there wasn't one.
"Of course..." Ada sighed and nodded with reluctance then was escorted back to the carriage they arrived in. The ride home was pleasantly concise. The tension felt before on the way to the Zen Gardens was completely replaced with relieving bliss and hope for their futures. Ada felt a little conscious as the conclusion of their evening became nigh. She looked up to him as they approached the door of her house, "I look forward to it, darling." Anticipating that all-too-desired goodnight kiss, Ada raised herself up to rather aggressively meet Kenshin halfway. For a moment she may have pushed him back as their lips interlocked only to let him force her back down midway. "Mmn..." She softly moaned again, one leg raising back slightly off of the doorstep before she would finally separate. Ada honestly lost track of time as they embraced each other one last time for the night. Again, she couldn't help but savor the taste of the kiss, softly biting he lip as she somewhat wobbled back toward her door. "Until tomorrow." Ada bowed her head slightly flush with excitement before she slipped away with a short wave. Thus concluding the best night of her life.
