I'm not sure what you want if there are more than 2 hiragana.
For example, this "らしつづける"
or this
["ら", "し"]
["し", "つ"]
["つ", "づ"]
["づ", "け"]
["け", "る"]

Don't trust this too much. I'm just playing around a bit. Maybe it
will give you some ideas.

$KCODE = 'u'
p str.scan(/[あ-ん]{2,}/)

OR

require 'enumerator'
$KCODE = 'u'
str.scan(/[あ-ん]{2,}/).each {|x| x.split(//).each_cons(2){|a| p a}}
