chapters. So enjoy and please review, it would really mean alot to me!!!
PROLOGUE:Hiito(Heat)
Relief washed over her face in suble waves. The summer heat was returning, and she was grateful for it. The cold was begginning to turn unbearable. At night, the sheets from her bed would somehow curl up to her calves, leaving her feet uncovered and suffering. When these casual heat waves struck, a sheet would'nt be needed, in some cases, no type of skin and body covering would be needed, but that was just when the real heat came along, like it had that afternoon.
She dipped the washcloth inside the bowl of water resting on the table. She then squeezed some excess water from the fabric and ran it across her forehead. Her facial expression changed immidietly, as the cool liquid made it's way down her face. Gradually, she moved the washcloth down to her neck, calm at the sensation of water droplets trickling down to her breasts.Slowly they dripped down to her stomach, settling in the center, between her rib cases.
She stared outside the window, to the now setting sun. Despite night arriving soon, the sun leaving no trace of it's shelter in the heavens, and it was still hot. Tonight would surely be one of those nights.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was hot. It was very hot.He was aware of it, and had made no choice to even try to avoid it, or even calm it, because he knew that even though he tried to get rid of the heat, it would somehow make it's way back towards him, in different ways.So he didn't try to fight it. He sat there, in his usual clothes, wearing those 'ridiculus' bandages.As she so carelessly called it. They were not ridiculus, they were what he always wore, even before he met her,to keep hellish scars and bruises hidden from sight.
They were hellish indeed. Like tatoos from hell, engraved in his flesh by demonic figures riding on the wings of satanic serpents,like a punishment for brawling with malevolent and impulsive characters such as those from the Oniwabanshuu group.He remembered them all, and how they risked their lives to save their leader, Aoshi Shinomori. Especially Hannya, he seemed even more determined to save him than any of the others. Maybe he wasn't as cold hearted as evryone believed him to be.
Finally, he gave in. Taking off his white jacket and hanging it over the back of the chair. His bare chest visible to all eyes. Often seen but never really admired,he had an inviting structure. Masculine and firm.His abbs roughly toned and fine-grained lined in rows leading down his abdomen. His body, warm to the touch. It was hot tonight.Certainly more incandescent than the night before.Yes, tonight would definetly be one of those nights when sweat would drip from his mattress in the morning.

She hadn't meant to see him. She hadn't even meant to walk into that room, but she did. And she saw him. Though, he didn't see her. From the torso up, he was naked, if you decide not to take in those stupid bandages.Drops of sweat glistened on his chest, his eyes were closed, still he could easily sense another prescence in the room, but did nothing, and remained silent still. She timidly took a few steps towards the armchair where he so casually rested, half naked.
She walked closer to him, close enough to hear his breathing. Steady and constant. Slowly she whispered, "Sanosuke"? She asked, almost not awaiting a response, although he was clearly conscsious. "I know you're awake". She stated confidently, hoping not to make a fool of herself. After recieving no response, she spoke again. "Come on...I made ohagis". she pleaded. Silent he reamined."Sanosuke"...unbelieving that he was not asleep she quickly shut her mouth, and began to step away. Mentally,she cursed, and strolled back towards her room.
Sanosuke blinked open one eyes searching for any other person in the room, taking in that no one was present, he opened th other eyes. Slowly, he tilted his head down, getting a look at his structure, sweat was actually dripping down his boddy in massive puddles. O, yeah, tonight would be hot.
