Author's note:
This story take place in the manga when they are grouped ( then shinoa's team ) with the vampires, guren and narumi. In their mission of curing seraph of the end.
After the fight with the angel in the forest,
"That was awesome! We finally save one seraph! We can totally help kimizuki's sister at this rate" yuu pumping his fist to the air.
"Yeah, my sister can be finally be saved..." Said kimizuki with a big smile on his face.
He felt really relief that they finally found the cure for his sister. All this time his sister has been in coma, and even she is awake because of those bastards that took his sister for their own benefits his sister is still not comscious. It breaks his heart everytime he imagined what those filthy people doing to his sister body because of the experiment. And now-
Finally he could have her again..
But that could have to be wait, doesn't it?
Because for now the army are taking her with them.
They just need to wait for the time to take her back. And he's already been ready for that. Either alive or dead.
"Any plan to take kimizuki's sister with us so we can cure her?" Said yoichi approach the vampires and guren.
"Ho ho." Ferid laugh
"We won't do that right now. There is another thing we need to accomplish" he said in an elegant manner.
"Another thing to accomplish? Mind explain us more about that?" Ask narumi from behind of them.
"I need you guys to cure another angel near my mansion this time" ferid smile.
"Huh?" Yuu quizzically looking at him.
"You know, this angel has been a threat lately because a lot of the army have found it's hiding place and I don't have enough time to plan my work yet to capture the angel because the army already found it and they are doing an experiment on it for quiet sometime now" he continue,
"So we need to deal with it now because I don't want my place invaded by those humans. My secret will be exposed! " he doing it dramatically throwing his hands in the air around his body.
"Secret?" There is sweat on yuu's head upon hearing him saying that.
"Noooo! My sexiness will be discovered!" He screamed.
"A pervert"
"Yeah, an extreme pervert"
Both shinoa and mitsuba said in instant after he said his sexiness will be discovered. Their expression are blank, totally didn't know what to react toward that kind of statement. There is a slight disgust appear in their voice though.
While on the other hand, guren is still with his poker face. Too tired of dealing with this shit anymore.
"Ha-ha, plus I need another of this cross for us for my plan of course" ferid showed the black pointy cross that came out of the angel earlier.
*we will be starting on it three days later. Make sure you guys have enough rest~" ferid added.
"That's early" shinoa said,
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty tired right now. And a three days rest won't make up for it" narumi backed up.
"Ha~ I don't care, not my concern!" Ferid counter back with goofy smile on his face.
"..."
"Either way, I'll give guren some supplements to give it to you guys so you should be okay with it"
"...it's fine I guess..." Yuu added.
"Of course it's fine! You are working for me. Even your lieutenant colonel here~*
"Don't worry...I'll provided anything you need. So please don't hesitate to trust me! Afteral I just want to help a friend in need!" He said enthusiastically.
"He's still suspicious to me. So I won't trust him" mika looked at ferid sharply. He stand beside yuu now.
"But he just said friend! And plus he said we can trust him..so it's all good now!" Yuu said "plus he just help us find the cure for kimizuki's sister so there is more reason to that"
"You're just too naive yuu.." Said mika worriedly,
He really are easy to trust other people doesn't he? That's the biggest problem here.
Well, if anything happens I will just take yuu with me and run away.
Three days later,
"So let me summarize our plan" shinoa croaked after the deafening silence.
"Me, yuu-san, mika-san, mi-chan, yoichi-san and kimizuki-san will faced the angel and while the others lieutenant colonel guren and narumi-san will take the lead of commanding" shinoa gestured to everyone that was called.
"Narumi-san will observe the battlefield pattern and report it to lieutenant colonel to make up the strategy for us inside the battlefield, since this angel has been known to be good at long and short range fight we does not have choice but to find the chance to make it through with the other two."
"I'll receive the command and report to everyone in an instant." She looked at guren and then turn away.
"That's for now, does anyone have any question to ask?" Shinoa observe her eyes on everyone faces with her hands at the back. Looking firm and unfazed.
"What would we do with the vampires?" Ask narumi.
"We're just background props you see~" ferid answer joking half assly..
"Ha ha" crowley added with his dried laugh.
"They will be working as back up with us if anything going out of hand" guren demand laying his back on the wall.
"They are the one tell us to do it and now he is backening away? Tch..coward" mitsuba dissed with grumpy look on her face.
"Oh no~ angels are scary" ferid childishly ran behind crowley and hid.
"..."
Everyone looked at him with dried expression. No response came over for what's been next few minutes. Not until shinoa stated another question since she said no one gonna ask anyway.
"My only question is...what kind of long and short attack that this angel may be using to reattack?"
"The detailed is unclear because the experiment on this angel has been stopped after they focus on the war between the hiiragi right now.." Guren cleared his throat "
"But what we do know for sure that this angel is using a type of illusion on it's enemy when attack and reattack"
"..."
"And that would be bad if we come close to it. But that's our only option right now"
"This mission sounds riskiy, I'm going to join in to protect yuu-chan from that monster" mika said with hard expression.
"Do what you want kid" guren answer nonchalantly.
"You're going to join us mika? AWESOME! Heh, this will be a piece of cake! With our power right now what else could go wrong?" Yuu cleched his fist with his male remark grin.
"I'm...not pretty sure about that piece of cake part though" yoichi said with his awkward smile.
"Better not let your guard down kid, we don't know for sure what our target is capable of there might be chance that it is more than what we know it is" guren warned.
"What, I can use my seraph! And asuramaru will help me contol it!" Yuu said proudly.
"No yuu-san, you can't do that. No seraph of you for now. You're still recovering from the last battle and your demon may can't make up for it if the next time you used the seraph" shinoa looked at yuu way with her serious expresson.
"Wha-...is that true asuramaru?" Yuu touched his sword lightly,
As much as he want to believe it at the same time he doesn't, but they said his seraph is the only way to takedown the angel. If they can't use the seraph now, how can they win.
"..."
Yuu looked at her as well with a mixed emotions at first, then-
"I understands, looks like we can't use my seraph for now..." He said in a firm tone, looked seriously at her.
With a determined expression yuu said "but if anything came down to the road that we need to use my seraph I'l do it, even if it will cost me my life"
"I won't let anyone die, not now...not later" his expression turn to a worried one "so what could we do if we can't use my seraph?"
"We will worked on it, slowly and surely. So everyone better worked their asses off if you don't want bad thing to happened. No goofing off, no half asses jokes, no daydreaming and focus your whole intention on the angel when we encounter it. Teamwork and determination without anyone dyjng is our objectives right now." Guren said with his firm and strict voice meaning this mission will be the riskiest mission of seraph to accomplish.
Everyone nodded with determination in their eyes in unison.
"Well~, since mika-san will be joining the shinoa's team now...we need to discuss the formation he suit best" shinoa clasped her hands together, draw everyone attention on her.
"I'm not joining this woman's team" mika croaked harshly.
"I'm here to protect yuu-chan and that's that" he ended his sentences with a sharp glare toward shinoa.
Yuu had an apologize look on his face because of mika's harsh words and try to scold him.
"Mika, shinoa is our family too you know" said him with troubled face.
"...tch..." Mika gritted his teeth.
Deep inside mika, he know yuu has already told him a lot of times about this. But it just looked like he really couldn't go along with them. Especially if it's about this shinoa person.
He has been heard a lot about this hiiragi family of hers and they always up to something bad, how come he can trust her even she said she isn't interested in any of her family conflict but how do he know for sure. It's really suspicious having someone like her with them right now. Heck, yuu just met her in a few months and he just met her a few months ago. That's only because yuu was chased by those humans and they are the only option for yuu to be saved for a while.
How come he trusted her so much?
He is the only one here that have been longer with yuu.
And he also believed that his family are all dead except yuu, that's why he is so important to him.
Or is it because she saved him the other time?
No, that doesn't sounds right...
With mika deeply in thought about what he hate about her, suddenly she spoke-
"It's fine yuu-san, I'm okay"
Shinoa just shrugged it off with a few couples of laugh.
He will get over it someday,
Shinoa thought.
"Mika-san, I understand your wariness over someone like me because we just met for a few months but please trust give us at least a little trust on us because people in here is only the people we could trust." She said with a calm voice and soft smile plaster on her face.
"Please consider about it" shinoa bowed her head a little politely.
Her action make mika shocked a little bit,
Made him don't know what to say to her, he don't want her to be like this because yuu has been stare at him for a while now. He doesn't need her pride, he just want to protect yuu from danger.
After took quite sometime of the words he need to choose, he finally said-
"...ugh...fine..." In a pained expression and took a glance of yuu,
He was grinning widely like it was saying,
"Good job mika!"
He can't help but smile a little bit.
In the forest, near ferid mansion.
"Oi shinoa, how long we will be walking in here? It looks like it would never end" yuu ask put his hands around his waist observed the surrounding.
"What~ don't tell me you're tired already" shinoa teased.
"I'm not"
"Then?" Shinoa placed her hand on the tree nearby them.
"What are you doing?" Yuu came closer to her to look what she did.
Shinoa doesn't answer immediately instead she was caresing the tree for...something?
"..."
Yuu waited for another couple good of minutes but she doesn't spoke anything at all.
And...another couple of minutes pass by.
"Are you really going to ignore me?" Said yuu irritated,
Shinoa moved a little, her head spun his way and she look at him.
Yuu waited for her answer but instead she just giving me a blank stare without any words.
"What?...you can't speak all of a sudden now?" Waiting for her smartass counterback on him,
But she still didn't answer, still staring exactly to his eyes.
He looks in her eyes and so does she.
Is this becaming another stared contest then?
He remembered one of his late family like to play this game, he is pro in this but he doen't know that she would like to play this game too.
"...Shinoa...?" He waved his hand in front of her face.
Now that they are starting at each other he start to realise her eyes give a weird a gloom under the moonlight.
To be exact they were actually in the night together in this forest for God who knows will be there alone.
They were sent on a request by guren to observed the place around the campfire they make to track the angel.
Since the genius ferid doesn't know where the angel are going after the army work on an experiment on it before abandons it half way.
Her eyes coloured are chocolate right? Hazel...nut? Wait that's a type of beans. I guess I'm too hungry right now. We don't eat dinner yet and that stupid guren tell us to get into this forest right away.
But why does her eyes look a little bit of red? Is it because of the moon reflection and the dark surrounding? Afterall we're surrounded by a lot of trees now, so there is not a lot of light to guide our way.
With her clear skin coloured, I start to realise that she look almost like a vampire...
Her hair coloured are beyond ordinary too, actually I've never seen someone with this haired coloured before.
Wait...what happen to staring competition if stared on her hair?
Is it the hair competition then?
"...have you not realise it?..." Shinoa suddenly spoke.
Finally she's talking!
I felt like a deadman here when she didn't said anything.
"About what" yuu said quickly.
"Here...take a look here.." She showed her hand that was caresing the tree earlier.
Yuu take a look on her hand for quite a while. Then yuu looked shinoa and then on her hand back. Again and again with a disbelieve look on his face.
No way, I've looked quite sometime now, other than her smooth looking hand and clear skin there is-
Nothing.
"Where you getting at? I don't see a thing"
"Really? You don't?" Shinoa said "I'm pretty sure that's quite obvious there.." She looked at him.
"Oh yeah? I can't see another thing excpet your besutiful palm ma'am" he said sarcastically,
"Hah, I'm always beautiful" she said with a smirk
"But really, you didn't see it?" Shinoa tried to confirm it.
"No" he said flat.
"Well, that" s weird.." She took her hand out of his view and put it beside her petite body.
Oh she is taking her hand back, I was just thinking of touching it actually.
"Maybe I can feel it if I touch it" yuu let out a suggestion he pointed to her hand that was placed beside her.
Shinoa look at her hand, him and then she look at the tree earlier.
"Instead of touching my hand, why don't you touch the tree instead? It would work better if it came from the source" shinoa pointed her finger to the tree.
Is that a rejection? I really am thought I could touch her hand though.
I wonder why...( I'm feeling this way of course )
"So, where do I touch?" Yuu said, now standing in front of the said tree.
"You can't see it?" Shinoa standing beside him.
"See what?" Yuu bewildered.
She is talking about seeing something again, I wonder what is it. There is nothing to look at here too.
Upon hearing him saying that shinoa ask him,
"May I have your hand?"
"Um...well, sure..." Yuu took out his left hand to her.
She took it with her right hand and brought it to the tree. She was putting it on the place that she has touched earlier.
"Can you feel anything?" She ask while guide his hand on the tree.
"Umm...it's hard? And pointy?" He was talking about the wood texture of course. Anyone would knew that and she knew that too.
"Aside from the texture of the tree, anything else?"
"Hmm..."
"..."
They were silent for since like forever until he spoke again,
"...your hand?..." Yuu said uncertain. He is trying so hard to think other than the tree texture something else and he should not talk about her hand right now. But that's the only thing he could feel beside the tree texture.
Shinoa look at him with a look that saying,
"Yuu...I don't have time for this" and she look pissed too.
Yuu shot a look that saying,
"I swear I'm trying here, I've use my demon power but it won't work!"
Then shinoa let out a small sigh before let go of his hand from hers.
"I think we need to report this to lieutenant colonel guren later after we found the angel, they said it was pretty likely passive in the night right?" Shinoa said with a worried look on her face.
It's troubling that this kind of thing happens,
She want to think that maybe she is thinking too hard...but guren said that they should not take thing lightly and reported it right away.
Especially since yuu here that she trust could cooperate with her doesn't seem to realize it.
This is bad if this thing take critical point in this mission,
It'd will be bad if they can't seem to look at the unseen.
This is bad,
Very bad.
...this is such a pain...
Yuu noticed the hardlook on her and ask her,
"Shinoa, you okay?" With considerate look.
"Hm? I...don't know.." She answer but she doesn't"t look at him. She unconsciously put her hand toward her chest make yuu more worried about her.
"Are you really okay? We can go back you know"
"No, don't worry about me. We need to move on for the sake of others, they probably waiting for any news that we might have and we need to collect it as much as possible." Shinoa start moving forward before stop half the track and glance at him.
Yuu was standing there hesitate to move because he doesn't felt really good about her decision to keep moving on.
Her well being is important to him too. He made a grumpy look and a worried face.
When shinoa looked at him she can't help but laugh,
"Ahaha, you should not make that face you know. Come on, let's go" she waited there for him to coming.
As much as he hated to go, he can't help but go because she was giving him that gentle smile he use to see if she tried to comfort him.
It put him at ease, it does warm his heart a little and it help lifting the weight on his mind sometime.
"Tch..don't come to me begging for us to go back if anything happens. I've warned you." He said now beside her.
"Okay okay~ " shinoa smile a little wider and as exchange yuu was smiling as well, with his gentle smile that rare to use quite sometime now.
He does realise beside mika, she is the one who can make him present that kind of smile after his late family gone.
At the campfire,
"So what was this angel name again?" Kimizuki ask,
"It's the angel of daydream" narumi said plain.
"How irony, considering we're in night time now" yoichi pointed to his surrounding.
Their campfire was placed exactly at the center of the wood with tree tents standing around them. It seems lilely they will spend their night here. Since shinoa and yuu maybe be late returning from the forest after finding the clue or the angel place so they went for the camping idea.
"I wonder when both of them will be back" said yoichi with his timid smile, around the campfire with kimizuki, mitsuba, and narumi.
"That idiot must be putting shinoa in trouble again" said mitsuba with unsuprised look.
"He is an idiot anyway" mitsuba added. Poking the fire with a stick.
"I really hope that he won't jump in straight away after found the angel, that would be bad" kimizuki said put his hand near the fire to get the heat.
"I'm pretty sure yuu-kun rational enough to not do that because considering he is with shinoa-san now." Yoichi said. Hugging his knees to his chest.
"If it with that idiot anything could have happened" narumi continue,
"But it really is amazing how he can handle himself if he is really determined to protect his family" yoichi look amazed.
"And I think shinoa-san is amazing too since she is good at handling people, she even can hold her ground too even if the situation is dire."
"Of course she can't lose her composure easily, she is the leader and it's very important for the leader to be rational. Thinking what's best for the comrades...for the squad" narumi said with a distance look, he kind of remember his squad member after that incident.
What's best for the squad...
She did that to help her squad and protect them even if someone with his profile like her to be branded with traitor.
"Yuu too seem to support her a lot and take on the order properly since that incident he nearly got her killed" kimizuki said.
"Probably he want to reflect on his reckless behavior" mitsuba added.
"And he probably respect her as the squad leader too" yoichi look at narumi "I guess after what you guys have been talking about has help him improve himself better"
"..." Narumi didn't said anything but he was smiling a little. "I've start to think you guys as a part of my squad too you know"
"...but this is a shinoa's squad.." Kimizuki said plainly.
Narumi looked at him with thin lips and then he smirk "we can change to narumi's squad"
Everyone was shocked and kimizuki ask "how are you going to do that?"
"Heh, I've the most seniority here, I can make her do that. Plus, she is respectful and polite toward seniors." Narumi put his matter of fact tone to the statement.
"Even if she might do that, w-we would not let that happen" said mitsuba, trying to protect them from falling into the other hand of other leader.
"Hahaha, there is no way she would let that easily happen. Unless she stupid but I doubt that, so far she is the smartest person on her age that I've met. She know exactly her duties and everything related to it, she is the type of person who know exactly what she was talking about but sometime her personality tend to messing around always tend to ruin everything" narumi looked them, try to calm them up.
"Shinoa really are awesome, I must admit she is a good leader for our squad" yoichi said happily,
"..yeah...but her goofing attitude piss me off" kimiziki added.
"She is hiiragi afterall but her intention to help others different from those hiiragi siblings she had got me to respect her a little..." Mitsuba said with a light blush in her face.
They were chatting happily with the other until they hear someone shout from one of the tent.
"It's been 4 hours already! If he isn't going to come back I'm going to find him and runaway from here"
"He should be fine..she is good at forest direction and know exactly how to come back."
"My~ my~ why won't we wait for another 4 hours? It's in the forest and it's night, of course it takes time."
"You're the one who said we should go when it's dark because that thing will becam passive but what do you even know!?"
"You're really going to wreck this tent with your temper brat, calm down"
"Shut up!"
There is a wreck sound a loud of thing crashed together, and a lot of noise came from the tent. Curious and worried they went to the tent but narumi stopped them saying it will be fine and don't diturb their business.
A while later mika came out the tent with a mad look on his face. He looks like he want to eat anyone that night.
And then came crowley, ferid and guren from the tent looked at mika as he went away from the campsite.
"Where is mika-kun going?" Yoichi ask worriedly.
"Oh~ he will be back" ferid answer light heartedly.
"You seem so happy about this" crowley said with unexplainable expression on his face. He looks like tired playing along with ferid little games.
"Oh well, whatever" with smile ferid went back into the tent and disappeared. Same goes with crowley, following after him sent back into the tent.
"It's been quite a long time since they have been gone into the forest huh" said narumi beside guren.
They are still looking at direction where mika took off before lost into the forest.
"If they didn't come back in another 4 bours the may have been dead then" guren said plainly, but he doubted that would happen in the first place. The probability is low.
"And if they didn't came back in the next 2 hours they surely going on a date then, I bet my mahiru no yo on it" guren joked with his monotone voice.
The others couldn't helped but taking it seriously when he said that.
And among them, mitsuba was blushing hard when he mention they go on a date. While a slight blush from kimizuki and an awkward smile from yoichi. And narumi with his straight face, unfazed with guren statement but rather fed up with his weird taste of jokes.
No wonder shinoa likes to make such a weird jokes. I wonder why I serve a house like this. Nonetheless, if without that weird jokes it would make a very honorable house.
The others think it could be impossible for yuu to suddenly fallen in love since he is so stupid and oblivious plus with his obsession over family platonic lives.
But yoichi had another thought, he do think yuu can fall in love with someone. But maybe not this time yet?
Meanwhile in the forest,
Shinoa was stepping ahead of the trees and she saw something glowing behind the trees, she tried to reach it before she could feel her next step is on the air.
"...eh?" She make out a silly voice, totally clueless of what happen,
That is when she could feel something warped around her from behind.
"Shinoa! Watch your step could you?" Yuu shouted before pulling her body back on the ground with his bearhug.
"Sorry, yuu-san! I was too focused on finding the angel that I've fogot where I put my foot" she was holding his hand around her to let loose on her so that she could walk back again.
Since he is tall, everytime he hug her like this her foot will be floating in the air.
She know she should feel embarrassed when he does that, but when that thing happen to you a lot of time you just grew accustomed to it.
It's been around 4 hours they're walking in here, and it's already a lot of time she forgot where she step on that yuu often came in and help her from falling.
Not a very good leader isn't.
Why is this forest has a lot of holes though?
It's not your ordinary holes, it were 20 ft tall!
How in the world did they do that? Are they trying to capture monsters?
Oh well, I start to realize something though beside the weirdness that this forest had. It is that yuu like to hug her suddenly, okay. That is weird.
I remembered taking his hands of me now, but they are still here. Warped neatly around my body and tight.
But not close to hurting me, it seems like he doesn't want to let the people go because he is worried about something. Actually, I think I read to much of those books that my sister love to reads that it has become weird when it happens in reality. I used to believe that it is a fiction bug of course it came from a true experiences right?
But...
Well-
M e h.
She don't care about this, she don't have time for any of this cheesy romance caming from book. Someone need to find that angel now or never.
"Yuu-san? Don't you think we need to go now?" Shinoa tilted her head to face yuu.
"Okay" he answer flat.
"So, can't you go off me now? We don't need any cheesy romance right now" shinoa put her hand on his to tear it off but it won't budge.
"No" he answer flat again.
"What? You have grew to fall in love with me now? Even though I believe you're not the type of person who is interested in cheesy romance" she sent a smirk on his way.
"Say what you want, I won't let you go" said yuu with firm voice.
"Why? I understand that you're a virgin but you sure have going on your way you know." Shinoa added.
"It got nothing to do with my virginity!" Yuu snapped.
She really doesn't understand how worried she make him feel is right now.
She always too focus finding that angel who-knows-where-it-goes and completely forgot about her steps.
Since the first we came here until now for goodness sake it's been 30 times already she nearly fall into the holes who-knows-come-from-where!
Good gracious, luckily she is small and light or else there's no way I could do this for multiple times. I really am don't know what happens if she fall down into the hall but it is really deep and dark too. Plus, I don't want her to fall down and die right away sillily like that. I don't want to lose someone important to me anymore so I need to do this for her stop doing that reckless stunt.
Yuu lifted shinoa up and put her on his another arm.
"Wa- wait...yuu-san!" Shinoa startled with the sudden action came from him.
"I said put me down! Not put me up!" She said with a panic voice.
"Shut up" he said short "if I don't do this you will just keep stepping on those deep holes again and again"
"I promised to watch my step, so could you put me down?" She said with a pleading voice.
"No"
"So we're going to find the angel like this?"
"Hell yeah"
"What if the other found us?"
"I don't give a damn about that"
"..."
Shinoa where thinking about letting herself go from grip but she realise that it's no use because he won't let her go looking at how firm his hold on her right now. After another around of exercise on her brain how to loose herself from the grip, she doesn't seem to find anything inside her head beside the cheesy romance about those fairytail in her sister books.
Why do I even think about that?
Think shinoa think!
"..."
After tired of thinking she gave up. She let out a small breath and throw herself around him to make her comfortable. She hugged him back with her one arms on his neck and the other on body.
"...well,fine..."
"But you do know I can't look in this position right?" Shinoa said in a small voice.
"You can always turn" yuu mutter under his breath.
Shinoa could feel his breath on her neck as their body are so close right now. His breath are warm, at least she could use this advantage to warm herself since it's cold tonight.
"Do you really want me to hurt my neck?" Shinoa ask in a whisper.
Yuu could hear her whisper clearly since her mouth is close to his ear. He doesn't know why but he find it very pleasant.
Shinoa body drew closer to yuu and he could feel that too, he tried to find any logical explanation about that and realise that tonight is kinda cold with them being in the forest.
So yuu decied to ask her,
"Hey shinoa"
"...hmm..."
"...you cold?"
"..yeah..."
"...I see..."
Yuu pulled her body closer to him to increase the heat from their body and he realised that shinoa's body twitched a little.
"Um...you cold right?" Yuu asked.
"..."
Shinoa being silent for a while until she whisper to his ear with a gentle thank you.
Yuu smile with a gentle smile, he could feel himself blush a little but he doesn't care. For some reason he feels like his heart is grinning widely right now.
It's kinda awesome when a certain someone can make you feel this way.
They were silent and nothing could be heard other than the bugs and water from the river.
Even though the silence is killing, but they appreciates each other company in the cold darkness. With each other presence they could heat each other up even if it's cold.
They walk silently in the night with a peaceful step one by one.
"..yuu-san.." Shinoa croaked beside his ear.
"I've been thought about this for a while.."
"Yeah?.." He was whispering too.
Shinoa pushed her body away from him. He could feel her body torn away from his and he can't feel her heat anymore. It upset him a little, but he payed it no mind.
"Do you even know where are you going?" Shinoa asked him with an eyebrow lifted up.
Now she mention that, he exactly didn't know where he was going but he remembers her following some sort of light from behind those trees in front of him. So he think he is going to go along with that.
Yuu looked at her and then pulled her back into the same position she was earlier. Shinoa was surprised and clueless of what he was trying to do, so she just let it go.
"..earlier..you were following the light that was coming from those trees in front of me right?.."
Shinoa took a glance and then nod her head.
"Indeed"
"So, I'm just following those lights right now"
"Okay"
"We're almost near it" yuu added slightly caressing her head. He don't know why, but he want to do it.
"Are you sure it is it?"
"I don't know, but we can always check it out."
Upon hearing that, shinoa pushed her body from yuu again and caressing his jaw before said to him in a gentle voice saying, "please put me down" and then stroke her hand down his neck to his collar bone.
He was shocked at first,
But the action kind of effective on seducing him and he had this very affectionate looks in his eyes.
Yuu put her down but he don't let go of her yet.
"...why.." He said in breathed voice.
He never thought someone could make him lose his breath right now, she tend to successfully make his heart seem to beat really fast. His breath and brain doesn't work in sync that make it is hard to breath.
He felt the excitement,
The same one he used to feel when he was fighting vampires. The feel of need and deep desires to do it. He want to have the vampires life's in his hands and he willing to do everything for that.
But this is different, he want her in his hands and he willing to do everything for it. He want her. He desire for her.
"There may be danger if you hold me, so it 's better for me on foot.." Shinoa looked at him and not tearing her eyes away for him. She still had her hand on his neck. She caress it again.
"...I can manage that..." Her touch make him breathing even heavier.
"Really?" She said still don't take her eyes off from him.
He does realise that his desire for her but he wondered if it's alright to feel that way. Shinoa doesn't look like she bothered by it anyway. A lot of random thoughts popped inside his head.
But,
Shinoa is a family. He can't do that to his family.
But before his rational thought could get ahead of himself he acted out of his control. He lost control of himself again because of her.
He pulled her closer with his arm behind her back and another touching on her hand that was on his neck.
Shinoa don't seemed suprise by this though, she looks like she has expected it.
Yuu tried to warn himself to stop but it doesn't work.
Stop she's a family.
She's a family. She's a family!.
It feels so wrong and feels so right too.
Is it a bad thing he want her so badly?
Before he can proceed with any other thoughts he feels like his body moving on it's own and his face became closer and closer to her's.
He feels something soft touch his lips,
But it isn't something that felt like a lips.
He open his eyes and found out that her fingers is on his lips.
"Shinoa?" He asked bewilderedly. It happened suddenly that he can't catch up properly.
"You're easy to give in yuu-san, that's not good" shinoa said that with a smirk on her face.
"Huh? What do you mean?" He took her hand and hold it to their side.
"I was just teasing you a little bit and now you became like this. There is a high chances that you might cheat on your future partner if you keep this up." She added.
"Teasing? you are teasing me!?" Yuu look terrified. "And I'm not the guy who would cheat on my partner if I happen to have one!" He protests.
"Yeah, 80% guys like you said that but in the end they are the one who have the most girls in a same time." She shrugged her shoulder and turn around.
"As I thought, the best guy would be kimizuki-san since he is a gentlemen anyway~" shinoa glanced back at him smirking.
"I'm a gentlemen! And better than he is!" He said madly.
"Said guy who is easily seduced by a small gesture from woman" shinoa added with the boo part to add the special effects.
"Ggggghmnmm! Gaaaahhhh!" Yuu doesn't know what to shot back at her and getting frustrated all the way.
"What's your point anyway?" He said in deep frustration.
"I just want to help the poor woman that will date you someday..." She laughed "and help you toward the success of lovelife!" Shinoa pumped her fist to the air excitedly.
"Begone virgin!" She enchanted loudly.
"I-idiot! They might hear you!" Yuu flustered upon hearing her saying that.
"Well, lesson learnt today. Don't be such an extreme uke next time" she said seriously.
"What are you even talking about?" He doesn't seemed like could catch up with her anymore.
"I gave you advice for your pity lovelife...but of course with the guide of my sister mahiru book of her cheesy romance" shinoa said confidently.
"It is a sacred book! A holy book!" Shinoa raised her hand like praising something.
"Like..a bible?" Yuu raised his eyebrow.
"Yes!~ a bible for those virgin that is trying so hard to suck up on their pity lovelife!" She said dramatically just like a sister advertise on her holybook.
"Pfft..whatever. Let's just get this over with..." Yuu start on his footstep leaving shinoa behind. He can hear her laugh joyfully behind him before catching up too.
As they walked toward the lights together their heart are still in the dark. Their minds are still clouded with so many question, grief and regret.
May the light shine on you they said,
Maybe.
