"Battle Lust" chapter one

A Burst Angel fanfic

I knew I was in for trouble. The cybot Sei had sent us to battle that day had actually given me a run for my money. I had a serious gash on my right shoulder where it had tossed me into a pile of scrap metal as I ran to shield Meg YET AGAIN from a blow to her face…. Or possible capture.

That's when my blood really got pumping.

Damn cybot! Damn Meg! That girl is always getting her ass in the way… her cute ass.

Ahhh, what am I thinking?

All those years, we grew up together in the orphanage….sleeping alongside each other when we had no place to go…. And now…. THESE FEELINGS. Feelings I can no longer control.

The worst thing is, I'm starting to fear I'm being a dead give-away. The devil's wing etched forever on my back pulses and glows even as we walk back home. That's when she touches my shoulder…. her hands on my skin… it all sends me hurtling beyond the breaking point of my sanity.

"Jo, are you okay?"

She's always able to sense when something is amiss with me.

"I'm fine, Meg." A curt response to a concerned question.

She looks in my amber eyes searching for an explanation to the cold tone in my voice.

"I said, I'm fine."

As soon as the words escape my mouth, I know the damage I have done. She touches me again.

"But you're hurt."

She has no idea what she is doing to me. I pull away harshly, probably more than I should have or thought I had, and walk on ahead.

I hear a deep sigh escape her lips. I smell her tears before they hit her cheeks.

I've hurt you yet again. I'm sorry….gomen nasai. But you deserve better than this genocide angel.

I welcome the long hot shower…. Even the stinging pain from my wound as I wash the water tinged with blood away. After, I look at myself in the steamed up mirror. Damn, I might need stitches this time, but for now…. Fuck stitches.

Duct tape would have to do.

I fumble under the sink for it and tear a piece off, placing it on my shoulder and rubbing down hard. I choose an oversized t-shirt to cover the recent medical intervention and the glowing wing that won't stop pulsing….

Like the ache in my heart, like the ache between my legs…. Argh!

Meg…. Megumi…

My eyes close…..

Her hair, like fire… her soft body…. Her skin, her scent, her breasts…. So round….

The door suddenly opens.

"Food's ready," her soft voice is cautious, as if she is scared to talk to me. My eyes fly open and glow in the mirror.

I must look like a monster to her.

"Uhm… huh?"

I hear the pain in her words even though they are mundane.

"Food… Jo…. Are you hungry?"

My thoughts ramble…. Her skin… her breasts…. My eyes trace patterns on her as they have never done before. She senses my tension, she knows me too well.

I can't be alone with her another moment, or I will not be able to contain my heat any longer…

"Yeah… food." I say as my eyes lower the ground. I walk behind her….

Shit. Bad mistake. What a nice ass.

I sit in silence. She does, too. Kyohei and Amy chatter aimlessly about computers, food, cooking school, all the nothings that are meaningless to me.

Sei stares at me as a drop escapes my make-shift patch job.

"Jo, since you're not eating, how about you let me take a look at your arm."

I look up… Bad move! She's startled at my eyes… and she gasps.

"Now, Jo…. My room."

I stand up slamming my hands on the table, the sound startling everyone; even myself.

"Fine," I bark.

Sei's room smells like expensive perfume. It's a little much, so I never spend much time in there. She is the closest thing I ever had to a mother or an older sister. I know she cares about us, and it extends past being our boss. If that was all she was, we would have been fired a LONG TIME ago for all the shit we pulled.

Yet here she was, raising Amy, putting up with Meg's monthly PMS and temper tantrums, and not to mention my bad attitude.

Even now I catch her slipping Kyohei some extra cash when tuition is due and recently she has started to let him crash on the couch when he has to work late or cram for a test.

"Let me see the damage, Jo."

I roll up my sleeve.

"Hmm…" she says as she peels back the tape. Damn pain, and warm fresh blood flows loosely again.

"The cut is deep; you should have told me. Sit down on the bed and I'll get my kit. We'll have you fixed right up." She makes her way to the door. I hear Amy asking for seconds, and Kyohei's spoon rattling.

Sei calls out, "Meg, bring some water and some iodine soap in here to wash Jo's cut, please."

DAMMIT, SEI…. Leave Meg out of this, PLEASE.

"I'll be right back, okay," she smiles at me. Amy's voice calls out loudly.

"Sei, you have a call from headquarters! They want a debriefing on the cybot."

Oh, shit, I'm going to be in here along with Meg. Someone save me from myself!

Meg comes in and sits on the bed. "I guess you should take that shirt off so I don't get water on it."

I turn my back to her. "I guess…" I say, removing my shirt.

The pulsating wing glows as she touches me.

With the wound clean, she speaks, "Jo… what's wrong. Please, tell me."

She lays her small hand on my back and traces the lines that at this point, ACHE.

"Does it hurt?"

Damn, I can't contain myself…. I turn to face her, my eyes afire to meet the cool of her blue ones. And that's when I kiss her.

Passionately, and with no question to my intentions.

Her eyes close as she gives in to me. As much as it pains me, I have to break our first kiss. My breath is heavy. I can't go any further, not now and definitely, not here.

"Meg…"

She opens her eyes.

"Are you okay?"

She sighs. "Yes, Jo… yes…" she hugs me tightly as if she can pull me inside her.

I hear her voice whisper in my ear. "I want you too, Jo…"

For a virgin, she knows what she desires.

"Not here, Meg." She nods her agreement. We break our embrace…. And it is painful.

Sei comes back, and sews my wound closed. "There you go, Jo. All together… just remember, we can't replace your parts like Jango, so next time, no duct tape, okay?"

Meg picks up the bowl, bloody rags and leaves, but not before giving me a smile that would melt my heart.

Sei notices…. Or does she..?

Thank kami she doesn't ask about my eyes and wing.

"Sounds like you two worked it out… right?"

Dammit, she knows something's up.

I decide my appetite is back so I ladle some fried rice into a bowl and top it off with hot sauce. I plop on the couch beside Meg, who is happy to see me. I can tell because she changes the channel from one of those sappy reality shows to a horror flick just to show me her approval.

We sit silently, enjoying the way our skin touches, trying not to give away the lust surging between us. Then it gets late, and Meg dozes off.

Now for anyone who doesn't know Meg, she can fall asleep ANYWHERE…. Even at the movies, in the middle of aliens taking over Earth, in a concert, ANYWHERE.

I shake her. "Meg… it's late, go to bed."

She nods sleepily and walks to her room.

End for now . I hope to have Chapter 2 up very soon . Please Review If you like it , and if you don't … I'd like to know why.
