A.N.- I'm not dead! I know I haven't updated Hunted Souls in months, but I have three projects to hand in on Monday, all which I have barely started on. I'm taking a break, and since someone asked to do Sugar Sweet in Kenshin's POV, here it is. This is a quick two minute fic to keep my skills sharp. The song is 'Tonight I Feel Close To You' by Stefanie Sun Yanzi and Mai Kuraki.
Close my eyes and feel your mind
Time has passed
I walk like a shadow
Never knew
What I am going through
You touch my heart and take my breath away
Kenshin waits, sitting on the porch, for Kaoru to come home.
He just finished preparing her bath, the fire burning slowly, keeping the
water warm. He visibly sighs, remembering Kaoru's warning that if she
found him waiting for her too late, he would taste her shinai full on the face.
'I'd rather taste her…', he mused, a smile creeping across his features.
He missed his wife, as she had been gone a whole day teaching at many
different dojō.
Whisper on the wind so softly
Let the bright stars fill our dreams with love
Reach for your hand (you're holding my key)
and you show me the way
He gets up, and with one last look at the door, he goes off to
their room. He unfolds the futon, and lays the bedding over it. He sighs
again, clearly wanting Kaoru by his side. He curls up, his arms in the
position of how he would cuddle her close, curling around her warmth.
Tonight,I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one
He falls asleep, fueled by the thought that is he did, she would
magically appear in his arms, her body rising and falling in sleep.
A noise makes him stir slightly, but he settles down, his eyes still closed
in rest. He feels a gentle touch, and trembles, unconsciously hoping that
it was not his imagination. He sighs, letting out a held breath.
All the tears that haunt my past
You promised
It'll be better tomorrow
play that song
You and I listened to
And let it gently ease our pain
He wavers between the two worlds, of
dreams and reality, as the touch moves to his hair,
he dares not moan, in fear of breaking the moment.
Tender rain drops from the blue sky
Flowers blooming, life is so divine
like sunlight on a stream (you're holding my key)
You show the world to me
He feels soft lips pressed to his cheek. He
cannot hold it back, and he moans softly, his voice
longing, wanting, feeling. He feels her slip into bed
with him, her sudden warmth welcome and secure. His
arm now wrapped around her, all his loneliness dissolving
fast, he snuggles close, gaining back the comfort and security.
Tonight,I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
He feels her reach her hands into his yukata,
to massage his back. His heart beats faster, yearning for
her touch. The cloth slides off his upper body, and shivers
in the brief cold, then is warmed by her nuzzle. He feels her
nestle her face in his chest, and squirms, his delight
overwhelming in his muted state. He curves a bit more around
her, keeping her safe from unknown dangers.
So much love in this beautiful world
Search for the brightest star in the sky
You will find the meaning of love
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid), Just be yourself (Just be yourself)
We need this love...I've never knew
He draws in a shaky breath, wondering if this is
real. He dares not open his eyes, lest it be just a dream. It
would be better to be alone in a black, unconsciousness. He
feels the yukata being pushed off, his chest nuzzled again,
then it's contours stroked, caressed. He opens his eyes, now
sure that it was real, and also not being able to resist anymore.
Tonight,I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
She lowers her head, kissing him lightly, sweetly
on the lips. He is dazed, his violet eyes all the more innocent
in his drowsy state. He gathers his senses, pulling her closer
to taste, what he had fantasized as he was waiting. He whispers
words of love and welcome, so soft, that it is possible only for her to hear.
Tonight,I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one
He shifts her into a cradling position, pressing
his chest into her back. He senses her breathing slow,
and his does too. His eyes close, this time close and
comforted by the one his loves.
A.N.- ZzZzZz…Whoo, I'm sleepy. Hope you like it, going to take a bath now.
