So, I've decided to start another fanfic of my series, From Another World. This time, in the Kill La Kill anime.

Hope you KLK fans enjoy this. And so you know, this is NOT a Ryuko x Mako or Ryuko x Satsuki fic. This is a fic that is set after the events of True Friendship. In the fic, it is set one year after the final episode, Ryuko and Mako have finished school and are getting ready to get a job. There will be some Ryuko x Mako moments, but they won't end up together, even though they are my favourite ship in KLK.

Anyway, in this fic, after Ryuko and Mako have finished school, someone from Ryuko's past comes back. She ends up having to reveal a some secrets she's never told anyone. One that explains why she became the way she is and why she didn't like being practically naked when she first got Senketsu.

Hope you enjoy!

I don't own Kill La Kill! Even though I wish I did sometimes.

It has been one year since Honoji Academy has sunk into the sea. One year since peace has returned to Japan and the world. Ryuko and Mako have just finished their last year of high school and were now looking for jobs. Ryuko knew what she wanted to become, a gym teacher. She knew it was going to be difficult, having to train kids in sports, stay after school hours to supervise clubs, but luckily, she wouldn't be grading any papers.

Mako on the other hand...she had no idea what she wanted to become. She saw many oppertunities and couldn't decide what she wanted to be. So they were at the Job Centre, looking for a job that suits Mako. Ryuko figured, since Mako is good at almost everything, they'd get a lot of job offers for her.

They told the lady what Mako was good at and she printed off a list of jobs that met those skills, then handed it to Ryuko.

Chef at a restaurant - declined. Mako could cook, but it wasn't five star meal standard.

Model - declined. Mako was good looking and all that, but Ryuko didn't want her friend to become dumber and skinnier than she already was.

Biologist - again, declined. Ryuko didn't want a repeat of Mako being a human guinea-pig again.

Animal Handler - Mako was good with animals, if her having a dog and being the one who trained it, or so she says. They put it as an option.

Sales Woman - Mako was a very convincing person, and she made friends everywhere she went. They took that as an option as well.

Butcher - declined. Mako was very clumsy. Don't want her coming home with cuts all over her, or worse, getting put in the hospital cause she accidentally cut her hand off.

Singer - Mako had a decent singing voice, all she needed was some lessons. They put that as a maybe.

Actress - Mako was always into acting. They put a tick next to it.

Director - Mako did have many ideas that she could use in a play. Maybe she'd be good at that? They put a question mark by it.

Farmer - declined. Mako didn't have the physical strength to be a farmer. Plus, she'd be coming home everyday smelling like cows and horses, and she was allergic to sheep, chickens, horses and ducks.

Ryuko handed back the list and the woman took a look at the options they had chosen. She nodded her head and told them "Very good. I'll make some calls and we'll call you when we have a job willing to take your girlfriend Ms Matoi"

Ryuko blushed, while Mako just kept daydreaming. "W-we're not going out! She's just my best friend! Sure, I'm living with her and her family, but that doesn't mean anything!"

Mako had stopped daydreaming when she heard Ryuko say they were 'just friends'. When she heard the rest, she felt a pang in her heart and she ended up frowning. The lady became shocked. "Oh. I'm sorry. I must have misinterpreted. I saw how close you two were when you came in and assumed you were a couple. My bad"

Ryuko just sighed. "It's alright. You're not the only one to misunderstand. This big guy called Gamagori came up to us while we went on a date, as friends, and told Mako how he feels for her. She was hesitant, but she told him she was in love with someone else. He took it well, and assumed she was in love with me and that we were going out. I told him we're not though, but he just said "But you're the best of friends! She asked you on a date, so how can you not be going out?". To which I answered with "We're on a date as friends. That's all"."

The lady nodded, understanding. She goes on dates with her friend all the time too and people mistake them for a couple, even though she's married and has two kids.

"Well, thank you for coming in. I'll call you when we have an oppertunity for you"

Ryuko and Mako nodded and left the building. They walked in silence until Ryuko spoke up. "Hey, Mako? You alright? You haven't been speaking since we left the Job Centre. I thought you'd be all happy about so many oppertunities for work?" She then noticed Mako was frowning and looking at the ground while dragging her feet.

Mako eventually sighed and looked at her bestest friend in the world. "Ryuko? Tell me. How do you really feel about me?"

Ryuko blinked at the sudden question. "Uh...well, you're my best friend Mako. We've been through thick and thin for over a year now. You've always had my back, and I've always had yours. But to answer your question, I really care about you Mako. More than you know"

Mako beamed. It wasn't what she hoped it would be, but she didn't mind since Ryuko told her she really cares for her. As what? She didn't know. But she was hoping she'd find out soon. She shouldn't wish for these things. They can be disappointing.

They talked the rest of the way home animately, with Mako changing the subject everytime, causing Ryuko to sweat drop. She was just glad Mako was back to her happy go lucky self again.

When they reached home, Ryuko said she needed to go pick some things up first, so she departed from Mako and carried on down the street.

Mako waved bye to her friend and walked into their home. They no longer lived in the slum they brought with them. One day while they were all out, they came back to find the house had been maliciously set on fire *looks left and right repeatedly with squinted eyelids*. Luckily, all their stuff was brought outside for some reason, so they didn't lose anything.

Satsuki had heard what happened, and didn't want her sister to be on the streets, so they lived with her for a few weeks until she offered to buy a new one. This time, it was two stories with four bedrooms, three upstairs and one downstairs, with a bathroom on the second floor. Matoro, Guts and Mr Mankanschok still tried to perv on Ryuko while she was having a bath, but they gave up after a few days. The window only had a small opening on the top just big enough for Guts to poke his head through and they couldn't see inside, and the door was always bolted shut.

When Mako walked into the house and took her shoes off, she went to the living room and saw her mom and dad sat on the sofa watching T.V. Well, her mom was watching T.V., her dad was reading a book called, 'How to be a Successful Backalley Doctor without being Sued', a gift from Satsuki to prevent them from going into debt and losing the house. Although, they didn't have to worry about money for a while.

When Ragyo Kiryuin was defeated and killed herself, all the money belonging to her was given to Satsuki, but she gave half of it to Ryuko since she was her sister and she would have given most of it away anyway. So, with Ryuko being the one with all the money in the house, they practically relied on her. And she was happy to help.

Ryuko didn't want the money, so she told them to use it to pay the bills and keep the house going. Anyway, Mako said hi to her parents and they said hi back and her mom asked her "So? How did it go at the Job Centre?"

Mako beamed and told her "Great! They gave us a list with ten different jobs on it, but Ryuko declined half of them. Saying they weren't safe for me and that I may die if I become a butcher. She told us she'd call when she has an offer, so, overall, it went great!"

Mrs Mankanschok smiled happily. "That's great dear! Just think, you'll be working soon and earning your own money! And then you and Ryuko will get married, have children and live on your own!" She giggled but frowned when she saw Mako become upset. "What is it Mako?"

Mako just forced a smile and said "Nothing. Absolutely nothing is wrong mum!" Mrs M saw right through her forced smile and happiness, but decided to question her later.

Mako was about to say she was going to get a drink, when the doorbell rang.

Ding Dong

Mako answered it. The person at the door was a man around six foot three, he looked to be around twenty-five years old, he had short, dark brown hair, a shaven stubble on his chin and upper lip, and she could see he had dark green eyes that held pain, kindness and love. He was also carrying a katana on his left hip with a ruby encrusted in the sides and he had a bundle under his black coat. He was wearing near black jeans with black Nike sneakers and had a pair of sunglasses on his head.

Mako smiled, she saw an oppertunity to make a new friend, so she took it. "Hello! Welcome to the Mankanschok residence! I'm Mako Mankanschok!" The words saying who she was appeared around her, causing the stranger to sweat drop. "How can I help you?"

The stranger just answered with "I'm here for Ryuko Matoi. I heard she was living here in this residence with you. Is she in?" Suddenly, his eyes moved to the right and he took half his sword out, causing Mako to flinch and cower. I hope he doesn't use that on me! I've only just met him and he's already threatening me!

The stranger saw Mako was looking nervous, so he sheathed his sword again and told her "Don't worry! I'm not threatening you or anything! It was a reflex! It happens a lot! Please, forgive me" He bowed fourty-five degrees in apology.

Mako sighed in relief. "That's okay. You're just the only one I know who carries a sword, except for Lady Satsuki and Sanagayama"

He stood straight and sighed in relief too. "That's great. Anyway, is Ryuko in? I need to speak to her. It's very important"

Mako just tilted her head. "Ryuko isn't here. She had some errands to run. What's so important that you need to speak with her?"

The stranger just told her "I'm not at liberty to discuss it with you Mako. It's just really important" His eyes looked to the right again, but he didn't draw his sword this time, he moved his body.

"Listen, can I come in and wait for her? It's not safe to talk out here" Mako just tilted her head in confusion. Not safe? How can it not be safe? We already saved the world from Ragyo. She pushed the thought aside and let him in. "Thank you" He took off his shoes and followed Mako to the living room.

Mako's mom saw the new person walk in with Mako and immediately asked "Mako? Is this the one who was at the door? Why is he here?"

Mako smiled before answering. "He says he's a friend of Ryuko's and that he needs to talk with her. He asked to come in and wait because apparently it isn't 'safe' outside"

She nodded in understanding before giving the man a motherly smile. "Well then, welcome! Make yourself at home! I'll put on some tea, then you can tell us all about you!"

The man just nodded and took a seat on the arm chair, although he did it carefully for some reason. When Mrs M came back in with the tea, she immediately asked what his name is, how he knows Ryuko and what their relationship is. He just said "I can't reveal too much I'm afraid. If Ryuko hasn't told you about us, then it's obvious she has a reason. What I can tell you though, is that two years ago, I helped Ryuko out with something, what though, is what I cannot say at this time. I cannot also reveal what my relationship is with her either. That's for her to say. My name though? I can tell you that"

Everyone sighed in relief. Glad they'll be getting something from him, but also disappointed that's all they'll be getting until Ryuko comes home. "My name is Benjamin Dando. But everyone calls me Ben for short. Or in Ryuko's case, Drago"

Everyone became confused. Mako asked him. "'Drago'? Why does she call you that?"

Ben became nervous and got a blush on his cheeks. "W-well, again, I cannot say. That's what Ryuko will have to tell you" This caused everyone to sigh. They really weren't getting anywhere with this.

Mako then saw the bundle under Ben's coat shift a bit and asked "Ben? Why did that lump under your coat just move? What's under there?"

Ben sighed. "It's someone special to me and Ryuko. I can't reveal them yet until Ryuko comes back as they really want to see her. As for why they moved? They were getting comfortable. They had just fallen asleep by the time I came round the corner"

Everyone pouted but nodded. They wanted to see this 'special someone' that wants to see Ryuko, but they understood the person was sleeping and they shouldn't disturb them.

Ben suddenly did the eye thing again and stood up. "Everyone, I'll need you to cover your eyes a second"

Mr M didn't like the sound of this, so he asked, or more like demanded "Why should we? You haven't told us everything we want to know. We don't really know who you are. You could be a thief who's planning to take all of Ryuko's money!"

Ben on the other hand, just withdrew his sword quickly, causing Mr M to gulp nervously when he saw Ben's eyes darken. "Just do as I said everyone. I promise, I'm not a thief. I haven't seen Ryuko for over two years so I didn't know about the money. Now do as I said and CLOSE YOUR EYES!"

Everyone closed their eyes when they saw Ben place the sunglasses over his. Unfortunately, Mako decided to peak at what he was doing so she opened her eyes and peeked through her fingers. All she saw was Ben holding tight to the bundle under his coat and mutter some words before the whole house lit up in a bright light, effectively blinding her. She screamed and when the light died down, everyone else looked at her and saw her rolling across the floor with her hands over her eyes.

Her parents blinked, while Ben just groaned and placed the sunglasses back on his head. "I told you to close your eyes Mako! That technique is very dangerous for your sight. That's why I wear these sunglasses when doing it" He sighed before continuing. "Don't worry though. The blindness will only last a couple of minutes. You'll be fine. Now you know to do as you're told when someone say's to close your eyes"

Suddenly, the door banged open and Ryuko came running in. It turns out she was out the house when she saw the windows become very bright and heard a scream. "MAKO! Are you okay!?" She ran to her friend, who was now sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

Mako told her she was fine, just temporarily blinded by the light, causing Ryuko to sigh in relief. She then got a scowl on her face and said "Alright scumbag! Who are you and why did you...?" She stopped, cause when she turned around, she saw a face she hadn't seen in over two years. "D-Drago?"

Ben smiled and nodded. "Yes Ryuko. Long time no see" Ryuko stood up and went to hug him, but he stopped her and motioned to the bundle under his coat. Ryuko saw it and her eyes widened. "You didn't did you? You didn't bring Yuuki with you right?" Tears were now threatening to spill.

Ben nooded before undoing the zip on his coat. When he opened it up, everyone gasped and Ryuko covered her mouth with her hand to muffle her sobs. Inside his coat, in a carrier on his chest, was a baby girl, roughly around two years old, sound asleep. She started to stir when Ryuko sniffed and took a ragged breath.

She opened her eyes and looked up at Ben, who smiled lovingly at her. "Hey sweetie. Have a nice nap?" The baby, known as Yuuki just giggled, making Ben giggle too. "Look, there's someone here who wants to see you"

Yuuki looked confused at first, when she looked around, she saw Ryuko and immediately smiled and reached out towards her while saying "Mama!" and giggling.

Everyone, except Ryuko and Ben gasped in shock. Ryuko was a mother!? Mako felt her heart break instantly. What she didn't know, was that it was going to be unrepairable in a bit.

Smiling lovingly, Ryuko went over and took Yuuki out of her carrier, into her arms and gave her a big motherly hug. Ben then wrapped his arms around them both, causing Ryuko to snuggle into his arms more, shocking evryone even more and causing Mako's heart to break even more.

What happened next, caused everyone to go into worse shock. Ryuko looked up at Ben and said "Thank you honey" before giving him a kiss on the lips.

That did it. The remaining pieces of Mako's heart shattered into dust and she ran out the room crying.

Mr M was the first to break out of his shock. He asked "What's going on!? You two are dating!? And you have a daughter!? Why didn't you tell us Ryuko!?"

Ryuko looked at him and noticed Mako was no longer in the room. Sighing, she answered his question. "Yes, we're dating. We have been for the past two and a half years. I didn't tell you because I knew that, if I did, Mako would react like this. That's why I went out for a bit these last few weeks. I was working up the courage and words to tell her, but when I got back, Ben was already here and I forgot all about that. I'm sorry for not saying anything before"

Mr and Mrs M nodded in understanding. They knew Mako was in love with Ryuko, and was expecting Ryuko to feel the same way. Mrs M asked a question next. "So I'm guessing Ben's the father is he? And how did you start dating anyway? Ben told us he helped you out with something, but he never told us what. Can you tell us now?"

Ryuko sighed and looked at Ben, pleading with him to answer instead. He nodded and answered the questions. "Yes, I'm the father of Yuuki here. We started dating a month after I helped Ryuko out. It's hard for her to talk about, so I'll explain. When Ryuko was seventeen, three months shy of eighteen, she was on her way home to her dorms at the school she was in, when one of the popular boys, Tao I think his name was?" He looked at Ryuko and she nodded. He continued. "Well, he and his friends ganged up on her and he had the nerve to ask Ryuko out while groping her"

Tears started to collect in Ryuko's eyes as he continued, while Ben's hands unconciously clenched into fists and got tighter as he spoke. "Ryuko said no. Said she wasn't interested in him, even if he is the most popular boy in school. But he had a secret. Every girl he dated ended up disappearing after a month. No one knew what happened to them, but when they found them, they were mute and refused to say anything. The police found evidence of sexual abuse but not enough to get any DNA" He was practically growling at this point, and when he heard Yuuki whimper a "Dada scare me", he stopped and hugged her in his arms and calmed down before he continued.

"Ryuko figured out who it was that did all that. Tao had raped all those girls because they refused to sleep with him. He and his friends had grabbed Ryuko and taken her to the unused shed on campus. His friends tied her up and gagged her, then went outside while Tao...did the deed"

Mr and Mrs M gasped in shock while Ryuko was silently crying. Ben knew she didn't want to relive this, but knew she knew she had to. So he continued. "The next month, Ryuko was mute. She was even more of a loner and she started to skip school a lot. Eventually, she left and lived on the streets. One month later, I found her sleeping in an alley. She was covered from head to toe in dirt and grim. So I took her back to my place. When she woke, she panicked at first, but I managed to calm her down and explained I wasn't going to hurt her through my Aura" They got confused looks on their faces. "I'll explain another time. Anyway, I gave her some fresh clothes, food and allowed her to use my bath.

"I slept on the couch and she in the bed. The next few days, I allowed her to stay and got to know her better. When I asked her why she was on the street and panicked when she saw me, she became quiet and started to panick again. So I used my Aura to calm her down and read her thoughts. When I saw what happened to her, I comforted her and allowed her to permanently stay with me. Over the next few weeks, she started to open up to me and started to act as she was supposed to. But she refused to go out. She was still scared of men and other people. She only trusted me. So, I offered to train her to fight for herself and she agreed. After three weeks, she learned the basics of how to fight and the basics of sword handling.

"Over those weeks, her personality changed. The Ryuko you know is a result of that training. Her punk personality is just a shell she uses. Every time she's near another man who looks at her wrongly, she beats the crap out of him on instinct. Two weeks after her training, she told me she loved me and we started to date. A month later, Ryuko turned eighteen and became pregnant with Yuuki two days later. But, in the eighth month of her pregnancy, we were doing some shopping when we ran into Tao. He saw Ryuko was pregnant and started to tease her, saying she was a slut who couldn't keep her legs shut and she lost it. She attacked him. It turns out, he knew MMA and punched her in the stomach. Quite hard.

"Next thing we knew, she was clutching her stomach in pain and Tao was on the floor with a broken nose and arm and I had his blood on my hands. Someone called an ambulance while another called the police. Tao was arrested and was charged with assault and domestic and sexual violence. Turns out he was careless with the last girl he raped and left behind his DNA. So now he's in prison for life. When we got to the hospital though, Ryuko's water broke and she went into a forced labour. There was so much blood. Thankfully though, Yuuki was born without any problems. We called her Yuuki because Ryuko was told by Professor Matoi that was her grandma's name. So we agreed to call her that. Then, a year later, when Ryuko was in school again, she got that letter from her dad saying he wanted to see her and talk. It took some convincing on my part, but she reluctantly agreed to go. The rest you probably know"

Mr and Mrs M nodded, indicating that Ryuko had told them everything that happened between her dad and Yui Harime a year and a half ago.

"When Ryuko came back, she looked really pissed, she was also carrying that Scissor Blade around like her life depended on it. She explained what happened between her and her dad and I told her to go and search for her fathers killer. She needed to. It was the only way to get closure over what happened. I bought her that case to keep the Scissor Blade in so the police didn't arrest her for carrying a dangerous weapon. I then trained her for two weeks on how to properly wield it, then she left for Honoji Academy thanks to a tip off from one of my friends and she left the next day. We kept in contact through letters and now I've come here because of something that happened"

Ryuko turned to him, confused. "What do you mean Drago? What happened?" Realisation crossed her features. "Wait. Don't tell me he's here!?"

Mr and Mrs M were confused. He? Who are they on about? "Yes Ryuko. You-Know-Who has come. It's time"

Now they were more confused. Time? Time for what? They watched as Ben got on one knee and gasped. Was he going to propose to her!? "Ryuko Matoi. The world needs our help to save it. Will you lend me your aid and love and help me fight this terrible foe? And, will you marry me?"

Mrs M thought Oh, he's just asking her to help him fight someone...HOLD IT! He also proposed! Oh dear. I hope Mako hasn't been listening the whole time.

Unknown to everyone, Mako had been listening. She stopped crying a few minutes after she got to the room that she shares with Ryuko and was sat at the top of the stairs. She had fresh tears streaming down her face. Not just because she felt sad for what Ryuko went through, but because she just heard what Ben had just done. She didn't want Ryuko to marry him and leave. She wanted Ryuko to stay with her forever and marry her. But she now knew that was never going to happen. Ryuko was going to leave her and marry her boyfriend. She'd probably move away with him and forget all about her. She covered her mouth and silently cried even more.

Back with the others

Ryuko's eyes were wide. Did Drago just ask me to marry him? And to help him save the world? Of course he did! We're the best team ever! I should give him my answer right now!

She took a deep calming breath and looked him in the eyes. "Drago, honey, I will give you my aid, love and help to save the world from this foe of ours. And...of course I'll marry you!"

She smiled and jumped into his arms, being careful not to hurt Yuuki, and wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his free one around her. They then looked in each others eyes and gave a quick kiss. Yuuki smiled and clapped. Happy for her parents.

When they stood up, Ben held out his hand and a small object appeared on his palm. Picking it up, they saw it was an engagement ring. It had a decent sized diamond in the middle with a ruby and emerald encrusted on both sides. He held up Ryuko's left hand and put it on her finger. They smiled at each other and embraced. Mr and Mrs M looked on at the happy family. Mrs M, not wanting to break the touching moment, asked a question.

"Ryuko? What do you mean this 'foe' of yours? And why do you call Ben Drago?"

Ryuko blushed. She knew she had to answer, but it was so embarrassing! Mako, not wanting to hear anymore, snuck back into her and Ryuko's bedroom and locked the door before crying into her pillow (I feel very sorry for her now).

"T-the...reason I call him 'Drago'...is b-because...I can't say it! It's too embarrassing!" She hid her face in Ben's chest. Ben answered for her. "It's because I'm like a dragon in bed"

Ryuko, Mr and Mrs M blushed a cherry red. The Mankanshoks because they weren't expecting that kind of bold answer, and Ryuko because she was embarrassed even more. Calming down and, before Ryuko answered Mrs M's other question, she looked at Ben, asking permission to tell them his secret. When he nodded, she took a deep breath and explained.

"You see, Ben has a foe who he's been fighting for a long time. It was a part of him, but it managed to escape his body and morphed into a humanoid figure. He's been chasing it through the dimensions, trying to stop it from destroying the worlds it goes to and he barely succeeds in doing so on his own. This is why he get's help from those worlds. So he can defeat this 'Darkness' easier and put a stop to it. But before he can absorb it back in, or destroy it, it opens another portal and escapes. He follows it and waits for it to reveal itself. When it does, it happens all over again. It seems to have taken longer than usual though, for Ben has been here for over a hundred years, waiting for this foe to appear"

When she finished, Mr M asked "A hundred years? Just how old is this guy?"

Ben rubbed the back of his head and nervously said "Five hundred and thirty six?"

Mr M just laughed, not believeing him. "No, no. Seriously, how old are you really? You can't have been here for a hundred years, no one lives that long! No matter how many heart transplants you have" But when he saw Ryuko and Ben had serious expressions, he went into shock, like the time Mako paid for all that food with his tab last year. "Y-you're serious? You're really over five hundred years old?"

He suddenly beamed. "You've got to tell me the secret! How have you kept yourself looking so young and lived so long!? Tell me!"

Ben just rubbed the back of his neck in uncertainty. Eventually, when he saw they were desperate to know, he sighed, handed Yuuki to Ryuko and pulled back the left sleeve of his coat. He revealed a black device embedded in his arm that had a cylindrical shaped thing on it, a scanning screen, a speaker, and around twenty to thirty buttons on it. Ben explained.

"This device is what's kept me alive all these centuries. It is also what helped me get to this world. It's my own invention and the only one in existence. I call it, the Powerlizer"

Mr and Mrs M awed at the device. "It allows me to live a long time and gain special powers through absorbing DNA of certain people. I currently have absorbed nine powers from nine individuals. I have been to over a hundred worlds and have saved each and every one of them. Except one. I went to a certain world for a vacation and absorbed the powers of certain creatures called 'Pokemon'"

They listened with curiosity and awe. They were amazed that Ben has done so many things in his five hundred years of life. Who wouldn't be amazed?

Ben was about to explain more, but saw Yuuki yawned and start to rub her eyes. He looked out the window and saw it was sunset. "Well, that is all I can tell you right now. I must go with Yuuki and find a hotel for the next few nights. I'll be back in the morning and explain more then. Goodnight" He then took Yuuki, but when she refused to let go of Ryuko, he smiled and allowed her to stay. But before he could put his shoes on and leave, Mrs M Said "Actually Ben, would you like to stay here? We have a spare room, and I'm sure Ryuko would love to have you here with us"

Ben looked at Ryuko, when she smiled and nodded, he smiled back and accepted the offer. Mrs M clapped her hands and showed him to the guest room.

She took him through the kitchen and through a door. The room had a single, double bed near the left wall of the room with white sheets and red pillows, white, frilly curtains were drawn from the windows, there was a wardrobe in the wall on the right and the walls were painted white.

"Here we are dear. Make yourself at home. I'll start dinner and I'll call you when it's done. And Mataro should be home soon. He will love to meet you" And Mrs M left the room to let Ben settle in.

While Ben was putting his things in the wardrobe, the door opened. He turned and saw it was Ryuko with Yuuki in her arms, asleep. Ben smiled and went up to his fiance and daughter. "What's up?"

Ryuko became nervous for some reason. "W-well,...I was wondering if you want m-me to...you know. Sleep in...here...with you?" Ben smiled and wrapped his arms around Ryuko and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Of course Ryuko. Only if you want to though. I won't force you to do something you don't want to"

Ryuko smiled and kissed him on the lips. "Of course I want to Drago. I love you, and our little Yuuki. After dinner, I'll bring all my clothes down and put them away. That way I won't need to keep going into the other room to get new clothes"

Ben's smile faultered, but he soon had it back. "You need to talk to Mako sometime you know. She's obviously very heartbroken, so she needs comforting from her best friend"

Ryuko just frowned. "If she still sees me as her best friend that is" She sighed. "Okay, I'll talk to her after dinner before I bring my clothes in here. I'll go help Mrs Mankanschok with cooking dinner. She needs to know what exactly to feed Yuuki. Is she teething yet?"

Ben chuckled before answering. "She started to last week. I was giving her some food and she suddenly got tears in her eyes and said "Owie". It was cute, but I took her to the doctors anyway and she told me she's just teething. She still says "Owie" now and then, but that's natural" He stroked Yuuki's head of black hair with a red highlights. She got the hair from her mother but she got her green eyes and appetite from Ben. Though he knew her personality was going to be a mixture of both her parents.

Ryuko gave Yuuki to Ben and went to help Mrs M with making dinner. You don't know this, but Ryuko learned to cook when she was living with Ben. She wanted to repay him for his kindness, so she took some lessons and when Ben came home from training and the gym, she surprised him with some home made miso soup, ramen, sweet and sour pork, and crokets. He asked her what was all this for, and she told him it was to thank him for everything he's done for her. He just told her he was glad to do it. She was his friend and he couldn't bear to not help her out.

She became sad when he called her his friend, but hid it. It took a few days, but Ben finally managed to ask her what was wrong cause she'd been avoiding him and giving him the silent treatment. She eventually told him she loves him and broke down crying. He comforted her and told her he loved her too. A few days later, Ryuko was pregnant with Yuuki and she was born eight months later.

He heard the door open and went to see who it was. When he saw it was Mataro, he was immediately questioned. "Who are you and how did you get in here!? Wait...why do you have a baby with you?"

Ben chuckled before answering. "Nice to meet you too Mataro. I'm Ben, Ryuko's fiance, she calls me Drago, and you can too if you want. As for why I'm here? To see Ryuko again. As for why I have a baby? This is Yuuki, our daughter"

Mataro froze and turned white. "Wait! You're engaged to Ryuko!? And you had a baby with her!? But...! When she came here and was practically half naked, I couldn't see any stretch marks on her! How's that possible!?"

Ben explained that Yuuki was born a month early because of an incident between Ryuko and someone she knew, and that she didn't have stretch marks because of all the training she had from him. Mataro's eyes lit up in fascination.

"So you're a fighter!? You trained Ryuko to fight!? COOOOL! Can you teach me too!?"

Before Ben could answer, Mrs M called everyone to the table saying dinner was nearly ready. When dinner was ready, they all sat at the dining table. What was for dinner you ask? Mystery crokets! What else(?) But Ben dug in anyway and found them to be delicious! Causing him to pile them onto his plate and shovel them down, making the Mankanschok's look at him in fascination, while Ryuko just carried on feeding Yuuki her baby food. She was already used to his eating habits.

After dinner, Ryuko and Mako went up to their room so they could talk. Ryuko explained to Mako how she really feels for her, how she sees her as another sister and that she's Ryuko's bestest friend who was there for her when she first arrived in Hono Town, even though they were complete strangers. How she was greatful for everything she has done for her. Giving her a place to stay, giving her another family, she was really greatful for all the things Mako and her family have done for her, even if her dog, dad and brother are complete perv's.

Mako laughed with her and smiled, but eventually started to cry. Ryuko asked what's wrong, and Mako just told her the truth. "It's just. You're going to marry him. And then you'll move away and never come back. I'll never see you again! I don't want you to leave Ryuko! I want you to stay here and marry me! It should be me who gets to marry you! Me who has a child with you! It should be me you love, not him!"

Ryuko was wide eyed. Mako was telling her what she truely feels and that she was scared Ryuko would never come see her anymore. She told her bestest best friend "Mako, you don't need to worry. I'm not going to be moving away. I'll still be nearby and we can still hang out and all that. Besides, the wedding won't be until after me and Ben stop whatever has come for him. And, I would be honoured, to have you as my head bridesmaid Mako. My bestest friend"

Mako wiped her eyes and gave her a tearful, but happy smile. She was happy Ryuko wasn't leaving her life. Sure, she'd rather it was her she was marrying and starting a family with, but Ryuko had already chosen Ben. Plus! She was happy Ryuko wanted her to be her head bridesmaid! Mako gave Ryuko the biggest hug she could ever give and said "Thank you!" over and over again.

Ryuko then moved all her clothes to Ben's room when Mako had fallen asleep on her bed. She then took out her pj's she got the second night she stayed with Mako and her family and changed into them after having a bath.

When she was finished, she saw Ben was already in bed, fast asleep, with Yuuki lying in the middle of the bed. Smiling, Ryuko joined her fiance and placed her arm above Yuuki. Ben must have sensed her, because he moved his arm and clasped her hand with his. Ryuko smiled lovingly at her fiance and daughter before she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. "Goodnight Drago my love. Goodnight my dearest daughter. I love you both so much"

And I'll end this ridiculously long chapter here. Like I said in the other A/N, this is not a Ryuko x Mako or Ryuko x Satsuki fic. There will be some moments between Ryuko and Mako and some sisterly ones between Ryuko and Satsuki, but that's it! I've already got a plan on who Mako and Satsuki are going to end up with so, don't be giving me suggestions for pairings. Also, NO FLAMES in your reviews. I won't be posting the next chapter for a while. I have to learn Klingon for a play in college for the National Theatre New Connections in college. I also have a one and a half page monlogue at the end and it's going to take a while to learn the new language and the speech at once.

Anyway, for those of you who weren't expecting Ryuko to be in a relationship and to have a child, DO NOT tell me how terrible I am. I already know I'm a bad person. I've already made the last chapters for my other fics From Another World and True Friendship, and they are what you readers have asked for. My OC Ben (Who is me by the way) NOT to end up with the characters in the fic.

I've made my OC and Ryuko date and have a child because I want him to be able to settle down and get married. He gets married in True Friendship, but it doesn't last long, unfortunately, and gets kicked out of that world for a few hundred years.

Anyway, like I said, I won't be updating this fic because of college and because I need to think about where I'm going with this. I'm also writing another From Another World fic, based in the anime One Piece. That should be up soon. If you're a One Piece fan, please read it and give me feedback!

Right, this rant has made this chapter even longer than it needs to be. So I'm just going to say goodbye, shut up and go to bed. I wrote all this on Saturday and finished it at 11:31PM. Real late for me!

So goodnight! And remember to leave a review! Plus! Follow and/or Fave!
