Chapter 1
Shishio lay above his love where they moved together as she moaned, desperately holding him close to her as the fire within was quickly building to their release. Shishio kissed her hard as she came, trying to swallow her cries. He followed her moments later, as he slid out and collapsed into the silk blankets, bringing her with him, his left arm behind his head while his right was caressing the pale flesh of her back.
Yumi's breathing began to slow as she laid her head on Shishio's chest listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart, and smiled as she felt her love's hand move from her back to her neck to her head and ran his fingers through her hair, then his hand cupped her chin and lifted her face to meet his.
Slowly opening her eyes, she felt his lips on hers, his tongue caressing her lower lip waiting for permission to enter, as she opened her mouth Shishio massaged her tongue with his, deepening the kiss. As Yumi moved to straddle his lap Shishio sat up and gently caressed her body. Starting with her neck down to her breasts, to her sides, where she giggled. Shishio leaned back lifting an eyebrow, then smiled as she mimicked his look and kissed her lovingly.
He heard her gasp as his hands went to her thighs and lifted her positioning her above him. Yumi moaned his name as she moved up and down, Shishio groaned grabbing her hips making her move faster making her scream. "Shishio...oh Kami...yes..." Shishio smiled and kissed her neck nipping at the pale flesh.
Shishio gave Yumi a possessive kiss as she climaxed yet again, he followed afterwards shuddering at the sensation Yumi collapsed as Shishio lay back holding her to his chest.
Shishio listened to his love's breathing as it slowed and sleep took her, brushing the hair away from her face he kissed her lips lightly and shifted their position so that her back was to him, wrapping his arm around her waist, Shishio buried his face in her hair and inhaled her intoxicating scent, kissed her neck and let sleep take him.
The next morning Yumi found herself alone in their room she frowned a little then tilted her head to the left, she smiled as she saw that her love had left her a single black rose next to her pillow. Gently lifting the rose to her nose she inhaled the sweet scent.
Slowly getting up she wrapped the silk sheet around her body and walked out to the balcony hiding behind the doors she could see soldiers training below in the courtyard, it had started to drizzle outside lifting her head Yumi closed her eyes to let the rain slowly stream down her face, and smiled. She quickly turned when she heard someone clear his or her throat. Immediately tightening her hold on the sheet to cover up her shoulders, Yumi turned to face the intruder.
"Oh I'm terribly sorry to disturb you miss Yumi, but Master Shishio told me that you wanted to go to the city this evening, is that right." A boy asked.
"Yes."
"Well then I am to escort you, I'll give you a few moments to get ready." Soujiro answered as he bowed and left the room closing the door behind him.
Yumi quickly got dressed, she loved the rain but not when she was going shopping. After taking one last look in the mirror Yumi turned and grabbed the nearby desk steadying herself as she felt dizzy and nauseous. "I should probably eat something before I go..." she reminded herself, spying a bowl of fruit on a nearby table Yumi grabbed a handful of grapes and popped them in her mouth. After a few moments she met the boy in the hall, Soujiro was always very polite and as always had a smile plastered on his face, yet no one would ever guess that he was deadly with a sword, her Shishio's number one apprentice.
Smiling he turned to her, "Are you ready miss Yumi?"
"Yes."
"Very well let's go the carriage is waiting for us."
In the carriage
"You seem a bit distracted today miss Yumi, are you all right?"
"What?...oh yes I'm fine, I'm just listening to the rain that's all." She lied she'd been feeling a bit odd lately, she would usually shrug it off and concentrated on some task she had to do, anyways right now was not the time for worrying about these petty little things.
Soujiro opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, looking around he took out an umbrella and helped Yumi out, escorting her to a kimono shop. Taking her time she carefully examined the collection of clothes before her, she had specifically ordered them from the woman who made them, smiling Yumi gave the money that they had agreed on along with a little extra, while the woman wrapped the clothes up, Yumi took a step outside while Soujiro called to the driver of the carriage to gather miss Yumi's purchases and place them on the carriage.
Deciding to treat herself since she hadn't eaten much at breakfast this morning, Yumi stopped at the sweet shop. Stepping inside inhaling the sweet scent Yumi immediately felt dizzy. "May I help you miss?" the shopkeeper asked then took a step forward holding out her arms. "Are you all right...Miss?"
Hearing the shopkeeper in distress Soujiro peeked inside, the millisecond he saw that Yumi would collapse on the floor he rushed in and caught her, "Miss Yumi...miss Yumi what's wrong are you all right?" He shook her as gently as he could. "Miss Yumi..."
"Wha?" Yumi blinked then looked around totally dazed. "What happened?"
"I believe you fainted miss." The shopkeeper answered, as she kneeled beside her.
"Fainted?" Yumi then thought for a moment "I remember getting dizzy..." Soujiro helped her up, still holding on to the boy while the room tried it's best to stop spinning Yumi took a deep breath closed her eyes and continued. "Perhaps we should return home Soujiro, I'm not feeling very well."
"Of course...this way miss Yumi." Soujiro led her out of the shop opening the umbrella to protect them from the rain; he opened the door of the carriage and followed Yumi inside after telling the driver to head back to Mount Hiei.
Taking her back to her room and making sure she was comfortable, Soujiro then made his way to the dojo where his sensei was training the troops.
"Bend your knees you fool, if you continue like that you'll find yourself losing your head." Shishio smirked then stood straight without looking behind him where a very silent Soujiro stood. "What is it Soujiro?"
"Master Shishio I must speak to you." Shishio sighed; he could never have a moment to himself.
"Sutoki...Take over." He ordered and followed Soujiro out of the room. "What is it?" Shishio asked a little annoyed.
"Well you see Master Shishio, I escorted miss Yumi to the village and after like forty minutes I'm afraid that she kinda...blacked out and..."
"What?"
"She said she felt dizzy. It was so sudden I almost didn't catch her when she fainted."
"Did you send for the doctor?"
"Yes sir he's probably in your room at this very moment..." Soujiro answered then looked at the scowl on his master's face "With Miss Kairie of course." Soujiro quickly added smiling awkwardly, Shishio frowned he didn't like men even if he was a doctor alone with Yumi, he trusted her completely, it was the men that he didn't trust.
"Have Kairie inform me of her condition the moment he leaves." Shishio told his apprentice.
"Of course sir." Soujiro bounded back towards his master's sleeping quarters and waited patiently until Kairie, Yumi's handmaiden and the doctor left the room.
After about a half hour Soujiro was happily cleaning his sword, when the door opened. "Hello doctor Tetsu, how is miss Yumi?"
"A few days rest and she'll be fine, she hadn't had much to eat all day and hasn't been sleeping well lately."
"Well that's good to hear. It would be a shame if she was sick." Soujiro smiled at the doctor.
"Um yes it would, good-bye Soujiro-san" The doctor nodded, leaving the boy alone in the hall.
Soujiro waved at the old doctor, and turned his head to Kairie who had just stepped out of the room quietly closing the door behind her.
"Hello miss Kairie..."
Kairie yelped. "Will you stop doing that, you scared the hell out of me."
"Oh I'm terribly sorry Miss Kairie, Master Shishio would like you to inform him of Miss Yumi's condition as soon as possible...I believe he's with Hoji at the moment..."
Kairie immediately made her way to Shishio's office, hearing about a dozen men arguing Kairie knocked on the door, one of the soldiers opened it letting her inside the room, ignoring the men who protested that she had intruded on their conversation Kairie made her way to Shishio who was enjoying a glass of wine, kneeled beside him and whispered in his ear that Yumi would be all right that she only needed rest.
"My lord Shishio can't this wait until later we are in the middle of..."
"Hold your tongue Hoji..." Shishio glared at his subordinate. When Kairie finished whispering, Shishio nodded his thanks and as quietly as she had entered, Kairie left the room to tend to her lady.
About an hour after Kairie and the doctor had left, Yumi still lay in her futon starring at the ceiling, listening to the soothing sound of the rain as it hit the windows, slowly closing her eyes Yumi smiled as she stretched her arms above her head running her hands through her hair pillowing them under her head. She loved the rain it always made her remember of the day she and Shishio had spent a very good portion of time in the woods, a blanket was laid down and they had had a picnic, he frowned as it had started to rain, but Yumi smiled. Shishio watched in amusement as she lifted her head to catch a few drops in her mouth, she had never had the freedom to act so childish before he had met her, not caring that they were now soak and wet, Yumi laughed as she spun around.
Yumi then smiled as Shishio stood and walked up to her wrapping a strong arm around her waist and gazing at her chestnut brown eyes her cheeks were flushed from jumping around a few strands of auburn hair stuck to the side of her face. Tilting her head up Shishio kissed her sweetly. The kiss quickly deepened turning passionate, Yumi ran her hands within Shishio's robes caressing the bandages that covered the warm flesh underneath. Shishio pulled back her already loose kimono so that his attention was now focused mostly on her neck, shoulder and chest. Since they were in the privacy of the woods Shishio didn't particularly care how loud she'd moan he actually enjoyed the way she'd squirm and scream out his name. Gently picking her up in his arms both being showered by the warm gentle rain Shishio laid her down on the blanket and proceeded to make long passionate love to this woman that had stolen his heart.
Yumi smiled at the memory and closed her eyes, totally unaware of the lone figure watching her at the door.
Shishio silently made his way to the futon kneeling beside his love he gently caressed her cheek, and smiled as she leaned her head toward his hand, Yumi then rolled to her side and frowned as the heat from Shishio's hand left her cheek. Chuckling he kissed her forehead and whispered softly in her ear, Yumi settled down and fell asleep.
Covering her up with a blanket Shishio watched her for a few moments, then left to continue training his men.
That night while standing atop the canopy above his balcony, Shishio looked out at the forest below him deep in thought, listening to the sounds of the forest and feeling the gentle breeze Shishio felt at peace. Sensing movement in his and Yumi's room. Shishio leapt down landing on the balcony grasping the hilt of his sword with his left hand he swiftly removed it from his side and carefully laid it beside the now empty futon, where he slept as he did every night. "Yumi?" he called.
Coming out of the adjoining room Yumi who had just bathed was muttering to herself, "Yumi..." he tried again. Yumi yelped as she jumped back a few steps.
"Wha...Can you tell me why is it every time I turn around someone always appears before me?"
Shishio chuckled as he stood eyeing her carefully.
"What?" she smiled as she turned in a circle to look at what he was staring at. As she turned the fabric of her yukata swayed giving view of the creamy ivory skin of her legs to the crimson eyes of her love.
"Are you all right?" he asked,
"I don't know what is wrong with me, I've never been this tired before..." she yawned.
"Well considering what we've been doing for the last couple of nights I don't blame you for being tired." He chuckled as he stepped forward and ran his hand in her wet unbound hair.
Yumi grinned, "Does this mean no fun activity tonight." She whispered as she blew in his ear, making him shiver.
Leaning back Shishio cupped her chin tilting it up, and kissed her softly. "That it does Yumi, I don't want a repeat of what happened this morning."
Laying her head against his chest Yumi giggled as he led her to the futon, as she laid down on her back Shishio kissed and nuzzled her neck, while tickling her sides making her laugh. Holding her down possessively Yumi calmed as the sound of his heartbeat quietly lulled her to sleep.
Yumi sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror, Shishio had refused to let her leave the safety of the fortress, for fear that she would collapse again, after the first few weeks Kairie was given the task to fuss over her lady, to make sure that she ate right and most importantly slept...the whole ordeal was driving Yumi crazy...although she did preocupy herself with a few simple chores and tasks not anything too tiring so as not to worry her Shishio, finally a little over a month had passed and both Shishio and Kairie let up a bit. Kairie was by her lady's side "Miss Yumi, why are you being so difficult?" Kairie whined.
"Kairie I can take care of myself, I am a grown woman and I just want a few moments alone..."
"Lord Shishio is not going to like this..." Kairie groaned.
"Oh for heaven's sake...I'm simply going for a walk by the river..." Yumi scoffed as she stood, running her hands down the front of her kimono smoothing down the small wrinkles of the silk and walked out of the room.
Walking down the wooded trail, Yumi felt exhilarated as she enjoyed the sight of the massive trees, and the rays of light peeking through the foliage, hearing the sounds of the rushing water nearby, Yumi looked around, seeing that no one had followed her, she hiked up her kimono and ran the rest of the way to the river. When she arrived she sat on a rock letting her bare feet dangle over the side to dip in the clear water.
Feeling as if she was on fire Yumi leaned forward cupping her hand to the cool water and let it drip down her neck to immediately chill the heated flesh, lifting her eyes when she heard a branch snap, Yumi froze and slowly reached for her dagger.
"You know sweetie you really shouldn't be out here all by yourself, especially when you don't have any fighting skills..." Yumi sighed and rolled her eyes as she turned and saw Kamatari walking towards her.
"Really I'd have thought you'd be glad that I'd get killed off or something, so then you'd have Lord Shishio all to yourself..." Yumi scoffed.
"That's beside the point sweetie." Kamatari laid her scythe down and sat beside the woman. "What are you doing here anyways?" she asked.
Yumi smiled as she closed her eyes and laid down on the rock, "Oh well I am laying siege to this forest, this rock shall be my throne, and the fish in the river shall be my servants."
Kamatari giggled, then frowned. "You know Lord Shishio really got worried when you passed out in the city...does he even know you're here?"
Yumi opened her eyes, to stare at the clouds and smiled as she sat up, "Kairie knows and besides it's been over a month. I'm fine...I just hadn't eaten and hadn't had much sleep that was it..." Yumi assured Kamatari wondering why she cared anyways.
"Well you better be sweetie the last thing I want is my Lord Shishio to have a broken heart." Kamatari sighed, and smirked as she added. "Although I don't know what he sees in you everyone knows I'm much more beautiful..." Kamatari teased as she ran her hands in her hair to prove her point.
Yumi chuckled even thought she and Kamatari never got along they both understood each other. Kamatari knew very well that Shishio would never leave Yumi for her, but it didn't mean she couldn't piss Yumi off from time to time.
"Well see you later sweetie I gotta go deliver a message to some prick who isn't worth crap."
"Really?"
"Yeah you know Hoji..."
Yumi barked a laugh and watched as Kamatari smiled and stood, scythe in hand and walked back down the wooded path. After about twenty minutes Yumi decided to head back, slowly standing Yumi winced and doubled over in pain, holding on to her stomach Yumi bit her lip as sweat trickled down her face. The excruciating pain refused to go away, and then darkness took her as she passed out on the rock.
Kairie bit her lip as she quietly approached Shishio as he was watching his men train, "What's the matter Kairie?" Shishio asked not bothering to look at the girl.
"Um...Lord Shishio...um..."
Shishio sighed and turned to the girl, "Take a deep breath and spit it out..." he drawled.
"Miss Yumi went for a walk by the river this evening to clear her head and she hasn't arrived back yet...it's been hours sir she usually doesn't stay out that long...and it's starting to get dark..." Kairie looked up at Shishio who now glared at the girl, taking her cue she quickly stood up and left.
Standing up Shishio left the room as well, making his way down the halls and through the numerous doors and stairs he was finally outside and quickly made his way to the river. Spying her lying on a rock, Shishio smirked 'Must have fallen asleep.' He thought as he climbed the rock he kneeled down beside her, and gently shook her. "Yumi?" Not getting a reaction Shishio turned her over and gasped, her cheeks were flushed, her breathing was shallow, she was covered in sweat, she had a fever, and she was shivering. "Damnit..." he cursed under his breath and quickly gathering her in his arms Shishio jumped in the nearest tree and hopped to the next branch of another, and continued until he was at the fortress entrance. Spotting a guard, he ordered him to fetch Kairie and the doctor; sprinting away the guard did as ordered.
Making his way to their room Shishio carefully lay her on the futon and covered her up, Kairie entered the room frantically. "Cold water..." Shishio called out, screeching to a halt Kairie quickly turned into the other room and came back with a basin and dry cloths.
"Tetsu is on his way..." getting up again Kairie fetched a few more blankets, and a clean yukata, to change her lady into. While Shishio dipped one of the cloths in the water and laid it on Yumi's forehead to try and bring down her fever.
The doctor stayed in the room for at least an hour, Yumi's fever was down and she was comfortable, Tetsu sat by her side until she woke up, he had an idea of what was wrong with her he just needed her to answer a few questions.
"Do you think it's serious?" Kairie asked worriedly. As she paced the room.
Tetsu smiled, "No calm down child...she'll be fine."
"That's what you said last time." Kairie growled, and stopped pacing when she heard a knock at the door. Quickly opening it Kairie huffed. "What do you want Soujiro?"
"Oh hello Miss Kairie, Master Shishio would like some news on Miss Yumi..." The smiling boy asked, looking to the doctor. "Doctor Tetsu?"
"She'll be all right, I just need to ask her a few questions when she wakes up...that's all, I can give him." Tetsu answered.
"Very well doctor Tetsu, thank-you..." Soujiro then quietly left the room.
A few moments later Yumi's eyes fluttered open, "Oh what happened?" she sighed.
"Miss Yumi how do you feel, are you all right?" Kairie asked quickly sitting by her lady's side.
"Miss Kairie please...Yumi what's the last thing you remember?"
"I was about to return as I stood I felt this imense pain in my stomach...then I blacked out."
"Tell me when was the last time you went through your cycle?"
Yumi looked at the doctor and bit her lip, giving him a small smile. "I noticed I was late about three weeks ago although I can't be sure...I've been so preocupied I lost track...I hadn't noticed..."
"Are you saying that Miss Yumi is with child?" Kairie asked exasperated.
Tetsu nodded, "Could be close to eight, nine weeks..." he smiled "...now you my dear I want you to stay on this futon for the next three days..." Looking to Kairie, "I want you to prepare this tea give it to her twice a day for those three days." Kairie took the packets and nodded excitedly. "Now you rest Miss Yumi I'll return tomorrow to see how you're doing." Tetsu slowly stood and left the room.
'I'm with child...' Yumi kept repeating in her head, 'How on earth do I tell Lord Shishio?...oh my...will he be angry with me?' Yumi held her breath, 'Why would he be angry...he loves me.' She assured herself, then a thought popped in her head, "Does he even want a child?" she whispered as she slowly sat up, Kairie froze at the door when she heard those words from her lady. Kairie quickly walked into the room to comfort her, Yumi had walked to the balcony and gazed out at the clouds. Kairie spotted her on the balcony and decided to give her a few moments alone to think.
Turning around Yumi noticed that Kairie was not in the room, putting on a thin haori Yumi walked out of her room and down the hall, thinking of when she was a geisha she had seen a few of her friends forced to give up the children they had birthed, most were left heartbroken, 'He wouldn't force me to give up a child...' So deep in her thoughts Yumi hadn't noticed and soon found herself outside slowly walking through the forest.
"Miss Yumi I've prepared a bath for...Miss Yumi?" Kairie quickly made her way to the balcony, "Miss Yumi...oh no..." Kairie rushed out of the room and found herself face to face with Soujiro. "Oh Kami Soujiro have you seen miss Yumi...I have to find her now..."
"No I'm afraid I haven't miss Kairie why what is the matter?"
"Please you have to help me find her, now..." Kairie begged as she ran down the hall. Totally confused Soujiro shrugged and followed the frantic handmaiden.
"Is miss Yumi ill?" Soujiro asked as he slowed his pace.
"No she sounded afraid..."
"Afraid?"
"Yes I heard her...she's with child, I think she's scared that Lord Shishio does not want it." Soujiro screeched to a halt and grabbed Kairie's arm. "What...we have to find her..." Kairie growled.
"Go tell Master Shishio, I will find her..."
"But..."
"Now..." Kairie nodded and ran towards Shishio's office.
Kairie rushed into the training hall and yelped as a sword nearly chopped her head off. Ducking down Kairie lifted her arms to protect her head. "Kairie..." She heard a rough voice growl out at her. Lifting her head she saw Shishio glare at her. "You know better than to rush in here." He ground out.
"Lord Shishio..." she whispered and quickly made her way to him, kneeling down Kairie took a breath and whispered in the samurai's ear. "It's Miss Yumi...I left her alone only for a moment, I can't find her she's gone..." Shishio turned his head to the girl murder could be seen in his eyes, "She might be afraid..."
"Of what?"
"Doctor Tetsu told us that she...she's with child..."
Shishio's eyes widened, he was totally speechless.
"I think she's afraid that you might not want it...that's what I heard her whisper before she left...Soujiro is searching for her now."
"Why the hell would she think that?" he seethed at the girl.
"I don't know..." she whispered.
"You're dismissed..." he growled. Kairie nodded and ran out of the room.
"Why the hell would she think that?" he growled to himself as he stood and made his way to their room.
Soujiro ran outside, looking at the ground for any sign that Yumi had come this way, finding light prints Soujiro ran faster and made his way towards the main road, 'Where are you going Miss Yumi?' he asked himself, screeching to a halt when the trail suddenly ended, Soujiro then ran through the woods ducking past bushes, trees and such. Quickly stopping as he spotted a figure Soujiro called out, "Miss Yumi?" Soujiro approached her, "Miss Yumi?" he tried again. Stepping in front of her Soujiro gently held her shoulders and shook her "MISS YUMI..."
"Hun?" Yumi looked up, "Soujiro...what..." Yumi looked around her totally confused, "What the hell am I doing here?" she barked.
"Miss Yumi you walked here...Miss Kairie was frantic she couldn't find you and sent me to search for you..."
Yumi again looked around... "Oh I was so deep in thought...I didn't notice...Damnit...I hate it when I do that..." she seethed.
"Come Miss Yumi we really should return..." Soujiro gently turned her around and led her back towards the main road. After a few moments Soujiro looked at her, "Um...Miss Yumi?"
"What is it?" she mumbled.
Soujiro scratched the back of his head. "Are you really with child?"
Yumi froze mid step and stumbled a bit, "What...How do you know that?"
"I told you Miss Kairie was frantic..." he smiled.
Yumi huffed and crossed he arms tilting her head towards the sky, she sighed then frowned, "Oh no you didn't...What did you tell Kairie..."
"I told her to go tell Master Shishio..."
Yumi cut him off, "About what that I was missing or that I was pregnant?"
"Well both..."
"Oh my god..." Yumi then screamed out of frustration, Soujiro looked at her curiously.
"Don't tell me you didn't want him to know...Oh my is it his child?"
"What of course it's his you idiot, I would never betray my Lord Shishio..." Yumi hit his arm with the sleeve of her haori.
"Then why are you angry...why not tell him?"
"I don't know..."
"Kairie said that you were afraid that he didn't want it...is that what's bothering you?"
Yumi bit her lip, then nodded her head.
"Master Shishio would never hurt you like that...he took me in, why would he not want this child?" he tried to reassure her.
Yumi looked at the boy and smiled, brushing away a stray tear off her cheek with her sleeve, Yumi then took a deep breath, "Take me home..."
Soujiro smiled and nodded his head.
It
was midday when they arrived at the fortress, Soujiro had escorted Yumi
all the way to her room. Yumi slowly closed the door, rested her
forehead on the smooth surface, and closed her eyes. "Where were you?"
a rough voice asked. Yumi slowly turned and licked her dry lips,
Shishio was leaning against the doorframe of the balcony watching her
every movement as she slowly made her way to him.
Yumi hadn't said a
word as she didn't know where to start...how to answer. "Don't make me
repeat myself..." he growled. As he stood up straight.
"I was so deep in thought that I hadn't noticed I had left the fortress...I'm sorry..." Yumi bowed her head looking at the floor, until Shishio tilted her head up forcing her to look in his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was going to...I just didn't know how..." she whispered.
Shishio smirked, "You didn't know how to say, 'I am with child'?" Yumi said nothing, only gazed at his eyes. "Why would you think I would not want it...I thought you knew me better?"
Yumi bit her lip, "We never discussed children...and an old memory of geisha's forced to give up their children didn't help me think straight...I kept telling myself that you wouldn't force me to go through that...that's when Soujiro found me..." Shishio chuckled and leaned down claiming her lips, Yumi closed her eyes as he deepened the kiss, shrugging off her haori and throwing it in a corner, Shishio picked up his love and laid her down on the futon, covering her with the blanket, Shishio lay down beside her holding his head up with his fist, "Are you mad at me?" she asked as she fingered his gi.
"Yes...you shouldn't be walking barefoot in the woods in nothing but a thin yukata and haori especially in your condition, I don't need you getting sick...from now on Kairie goes with you everywhere..." he ordered, and ran his right hand in her hair caressing the silken strands with his fingers. "Are you not happy that you're carrying my child?" he whispered.
Yumi quickly looked up. "Of course I am, I love you, and this child is what became of that love..." she smiled.
Shishio smirked, and gently pushed her down, "That it did..." he whispered, lightly kissing her lips, and caressing the now hot flesh of her skin beneath her yukata pulling it open, Yumi giggled then moaned as he sucked at the pale skin of her throat. Shishio shrugged off his gi as he teased Yumi under the covers and kissed her passionately, Yumi wrapped her arms around his neck as he moved above her, trapping her beneath his body. Yumi then lifted her left leg and wrapped it around his waist. "You should be punished for making me worry like that..." he growled in her ear as he nipped the skin with his teeth.
Yumi grinned and lightly pushed him back, revealing her naked body to his crimson eyes, "Then please do with me as you wish..." she smiled, Shishio smirked and proceeded in making her scream out in ecstasy.
When she woke up Yumi was surprised to still find Shishio by her side holding her rather protectively in his strong arms, she smiled as she tried to sit up, his arms would constrict around her waist pulling her closer to his body, even in sleep he refused to let her go. Looking over her shoulder, Shishio was in a peaceful sleep his left arm pillowing his head, she could feel his breath as it tickled the back of her neck in turn making her shiver. Slowly turning in his embrace Yumi rested her head back on the pillow and closed her eyes failing to notice the crimson eyes that slowly opened. Smiling Shishio lowered his head to her neck kissing it lightly, then closed his eyes as sleep slowly took him again.
