Day Two: Distance

-More Than Familiar-

"Mizuki-kun!" the twins sang out as he sprang down the shrine steps, the little youkai tucked underneath his arm. "Do you think it's wise to leave Tomoe alone with Nanami in his state?" Kotetsu asked causing the snake familiar to pause in his haste, "if Tomoe is not strong enough to fight his urges he will surely try to mate with her." Mizuki turned his vision back to the shrine and for a moment he second guessed his actions. He knew all too well the risk in his decision but he also knew that this was something that Nanami wanted. Ever since the return from three gates, he could see the love growing between the two, more and more each day the longing for Tomoe in Nanami's eyes sparkled brighter and brighter and so did the need for her in his fellow familiars. He had to admit that he more than loved Nanami as well but he also knew her heart was not meant for him and he had come to grips with that reality. Despite his own feelings he wanted nothing more than for his master to be happy and if being united with Tomoe in love made her happy, he would do all he could as her familiar to make it so. The snake took a deep breath and turned back to begin his journey, swallowing down his pride he spoke: "that's the plan."

Tomoe held her in his arms as she snuggled into his chest, gripping the back of his kimono in her small hands, God she feels so good he thought, as he rested his head on hers, breathing deep as her scent filled his senses, the smell of flowers blooming in spring time. He could feel his temperature rising as they held each other in embrace, his heart beating quicker as he felt her heart beat against his chest, His hands resting on the low of her back trembling slightly with the urge to touch her further..He had to let her go, or his enchanted leaf would dissipate and his current true form would be revealed to her. "Nanami" he spoke, slowly moving his body from hers so he could meet her eyes, he smiled, "you should begin your studies for testing next week and I will finish dinner." She pouted at his words, "I can help..I have the whole weekend to study." "No." he answered quickly moving back to the stove, "Don't worry about it I will finish..you go do some studying and wash up for dinner..i'll call you when it's ready." "Ok" she answered, slight disappointment in her voice as she made her way slowly down the hall. Tomoe waited until he heard her door slide closed and then he pulled his kimono open at the neck, revealing beads of sweat that accumulated on his toned chest, her body against his was far too much to handle in the state he was in and if he was going to survive the next couple of days without his animal instinct taking over he couldn't allow her to get close like that again, though it was the last thing he wanted, he had no choice but to keep some space between them.


The sun is filling up the room

And I can hear you dreaming…

Tomoe:

I stood in her doorway, watching her sleeping face as the early morning sun shone brightly through her window, usually I would sit next to her futon, secretly stroking her hair as I watched her chest rise and fall with her breaths through slightly parted lips, but I couldn't now. This damn mating season wouldn't allow it. Last night we ate mostly in silence and I could sense the sadness in her eyes as we went our separate ways into our own rooms, maybe she wanted me to hold her? Over the past couple of months she has gotten use to calling me in the middle of the night to lie on my chest until she fell asleep or to hold her after a nightmare, I had to admit I got used to it too..Ever since I proposed marriage to her at the three gates, she has been pushing to get closer and closer to me, could she have recalled that memory? Did she know it was me? I didn't know for sure but against my own belief I couldn't help but to get closer to her as well, I love her..But I can't have her the way I want, the way my body is telling me to. How could we? A powerful demon with immortality and a fragile human with such a short life span? I can't lose a woman I love again..But God, I love her! She's moving around now, about to open her eyes, Im going to busy myself in work today, maybe then she won't come to close.

Do you feel the way I do, right now?

Nanami:

Tomoe? I thought he was at my door, but No. I sighed. I'm so use to him being at my side at least until I fall asleep but he went his separate way last night, now that I think about it over the past couple weeks it's like he has been separating himself from me more and more, Why? Does he feel like we're getting to close? After coming back from three gates and recalling the memory of his proposal I thought that being with me was what he really wanted..though he hasn't told me he loved me yet I know we've gotten closer since then and I feel like he loves me so what's wrong? If something is wrong I wish he would just talk to me but he won't..Tomoe..always trying to be strong and protect me. But now were alone, and this is the opportunity I need to confess to him again and maybe I'm right..maybe the answer will be different now..maybe..Either way, I have to tell him again that I love him..and.. I want to be with him..forever.

I wish we would just give up

Cause the best part is falling

Is it anything but love?

Nanami pulled herself from her thoughts and wiped the sleep from her eyes, "Tomoe" she called out, rising from her futon she exited to find him. She moved through mikage shrine looking in every room as she passed in search of the kitsune, and as she reached the opening to the back grounds, there he was..hanging the laundry out to dry. Her breath suddenly caught in her throat at the scene in front of her and blush filled her cheeks as she eyed him, It was quite warm for the early morning and obviously it had an effect on her familiar who stood before her, kimono draped down to his waist, chest and abdomen bare. She was slightly embarrassed to be watching him but she couldn't help but be awe at his beauty, she had never seen so much of him before, his skin unmarred and slightly tan covering his muscular toned chest, leading down to an even muscular flat abdomen that glistened with sweat, only complimenting the beginnings of his v line slightly revealed as his kimono hung loosely to him. Nanami placed her hand to her chest as her heart began beating quickly at the sight of him. Turn away she told herself but it seemed as if she was stuck in place.

Tomoe:

I better get the outside chores done early, it's hot for early morning and it's only going to get hotter, DAMN! This doesn't help my situation! Oh well..at the least I'm out here and she's inside..good..can't get to close to her. I wonder what she's doing now? I turn my vision from the laundry and to the shrine as the thought of her crossed my mind, and there she was staring at me…why is she staring? And is she blushing? When my eyes catch hers she quickly hides behind the screen with a childish laugh..I'm not sure but I think she was blushing..she's so cute..that doesn't help my situation either.

Pretty hot today huh tomoe? Nanami asked blush still covering her features as she silently cursed herself for getting caught staring, "Yes..It is. So I will do all the outside chores myself." He answered back simply continuing his task as she peaked her head back outside the screen with a small chuckle, "Okay. I wouldn't want to be caught in this heat anyway." She quickly agreed before hastly walking away still flustered at her behavior as she tried to calm her pounding heart.

And I will make sure to keep my distance..

Say I love you when your not listening

How long can we keep this up?

It was about early evening now and the outside chores were finally done, Tomoe had managed to keep nanami busy with giving her indoor tasks to complete and though she had offered quite a bit to assist him..as she brought out the breakfast and lunch she prepared, he assured her that they would get done quicker if they both worked separate and with a few sighs from the earth deity she continued to oblige. Tomoe purposely took his time with matters to guarantee the separation he needed but he finished up now and it was time to start preparing dinner. He took a deep breath and pulled his kimono back on his shoulders, trying to hide the perspiration that covered his body from the days scorching sun and his rising heat..He hoped silently that Nanami was still busy, the last thing he needed was her to get to close again. "Nanami" he called as he made his way through the shrine, he peeked in her room to see if she was hopefully napping or studying but she wasn't there..no such luck he thought. He finally made his way to the kitchen and as he stepped into the room, he quickly paused in his steps. There she was preparing dinner herself, back turned to him, he couldn't take his eyes off the scene he gathered. Her long brown tresses where swept up in a messy bun atop her head and she wore nothing but a thin white sun dress, that fell only inches below her bottom. He felt his heat rise to a fever pitch as he took her in.. eyes tracing her slowly from top to bottom, tiny beads of sweat pulling at the nape of her neck, the exposed skin of her back beautiful and milky white, decorated with small beauty marks, and through the light fabric he could see the curve of her hips leading down to a small but plump derriere. He gasped as he felt his blood flow through him quickly and down to his member, No! he told himself as he felt it grow under his kimono, pulsing now with the beat of his heart, he had to get away before nanami spotted him, he had to relieve the tension before his transformation revealed itself.. but as he turned to leave he heard her speak his name, "Tomoe" she called her voice sweet, like music to his ears, only adding fuel to his rising desire. "I know it's really hot and I didn't want you to be standing at a hot stove so I thought I would just make sushi for dinner." "Great." he replied turning his head to give her a half smile before once again trying to retreat but before he could he felt her hand rest on his shoulder, "Tomoe are you okay? your sweating a lot and your body feels so hot..are you not feeling well?" To close. He thought, way to close.

Please don't stand so close to me

I'm having trouble breathing

I'm afraid of what you'll see right now..

"Don't" Tomoe sternly spoke pulling his arm from her grasp and moving quickly to the bathroom without another word, slamming the door behind him. A shocked Nanami stood, eyes glued to the bathroom door down the hall, tears beginning to well up in her hazel orbs.

Nanami:

I saw the sweat covering his face when he smiled..and his body was so hot, I just wanted to know if he was okay..Now he won't let me touch him? I don't understand what I did? Why is he acting this way? My tears begin to spill but I feel anger rising in me, why is he playing with my emotions?! He knows how I feel about him! Why can't we just be together! I need to know why he is doing this! Tomoe! I call his name loudly as I make my way toward the bathroom..I need to know what's wrong, does he not love me like I love him?

Tomoe:

My enchanted leaf fell from my kimono and withered to the floor, in an instant I was back to my mating state, seeing her like that was too much, I reach down and place my hand against my bulge, willing it to cease. I can smell her tears. I'm sorry Nanami, I didn't mean to hurt you but just give a minute stay there Nanami, don't come close.

And I will make sure to keep my distance

Say I love you when your not listening

But how long can we keep this up?

Tomoe:

I hear her call my name..No nanami..please.

"Tomoe!" she screams again, now banging on the screen of the restroom, tears flowing, "why are you pushing me away?!" "You know that I love you!..with all my heart and I know that you love me so don't push me away!" she pleaded trying desperately to open the screen but it would not budge. "Tomoe, I want to be with you..do you hear me?! I don't care if I'm a human and you're a youkai..i want to belong to you..i want you to be more than familiar!" "Now OPEN UP!"

And I keep waiting

For you to take me..

You keep waiting

To save what we have..

Tomoe:

I hear her confessing her love on the other side of the door for the second time and it only causes the heat in me to rise higher, does she know what she's doing to me? She says she wants to be with me but does she really know what that means? No! humans and youkai can't be together! I tried to love a human once, I tried to keep her and I failed, I won't allow myself to fail Nanami. She just doesn't understand..she says she doesn't care and despite my better judgement I did fall for my master but I can't..I just can't.

So I'll make sure to keep my distance

Say I love you when your not listening

How long can we keep this up?

Tomoe:

Her command hits me hard and as her familiar I have no choice but to obey, I don't know what will happen when I open this door and see the woman I love, look into her eyes, I'm trying to contain my inner kitsune but I feel like I'm losing the fight against the fire building inside..Nanami..I'm trying.

The door slid open slowly and Nanami's jaw quickly dropped at the familiar infront of her, "what's going on?" she whispered, intently eyeing him. His short tresses now fell loosely down to his feet, long strands surrounding his angelic face adding beauty to his wet..glowing porcelain skin and his fiery purple eyes. He stood silent, eyes never leaving hers as she moved closer to him, hesitantly bringing her hand up to the soft skin of his cheek, "Tomoe?, what's happening?" She asked him but he gave no answer, before she could get another word out he scooped her in his arms and placed her down into the bath. "Tomoe what are you doing?!" she spoke in shock watching him turn on the water and quickly remove his kimono, baring himself completely to her, "I'm making you mine" he spoke in a lustful tone a grin spreading across his features, Nanami caught glimpse of his long swollen man hood and quickly averted her eyes, he laughed lightly and joined her, lowering his naked form down into the now rising water he closed the gap between them. Nanami tried to scream but she couldn't speak she felt his bare chest against her now transparent dress and all she could do was look into his orbs once again, She didn't know what came over the man she loved but this wasn't like him practically forcing himself on her, the look in his eyes so lustful and dominant it sent a shiver down to her very soul, she didn't know what was happening but she felt captivated by his beauty, she wanted to push him away but she couldn't. He gripped her chin lightly in his hand and brought her lips close, licking her bottom lip lightly before pushing his tongue slowly through, tasting every inch of her mouth teasingly. She felt she should deny him but she was intoxicated by his action, closing her eyes, she let her tongue dance with his, reaching up to run her hand through his long silver threads as he deepened the kiss, now beginning to run his clawed hand up the skin of her inner thigh, she gasped lightly as he reached her pantie line, tugging lightly at the fabric before she brought him to a stand still. "Wait" she spoke pulling away from the kiss, her breath quick, cheeks glazed over with a rosy red hue, "do you love me tomoe?" she asked suddenly, looking deep into his bright purple pools, "I need to know before…" "Tell me to stop." He interrupted dropping her gaze from his, "what" she questioned, puzzled by his sudden command, "Tell me to stop or I won't be able to, please Nanami." He begged, her question pulling him from his instinct and back to himself in that moment, "I don't understand." She whispered tears once again rimming her eyes, "Do you not love me?" "tell me to stop!" he yelled, suddenly turning her body from his and bending her over the edge of the bath, she shrieked in fear as he cut away her undergarment, and positioned himself behind her, "is this what you want?!" he spoke again running his sharp claw down her back, slowly cutting away her dress. The love she felt only moments ago was replaced by panic, she wanted to be his but not like this, he begged her to tell him to stop, so though she didn't understand what was happening to him, she knew he didn't want her like this either. "Stop!" she screamed out and he released her, she quickly gripped the tattered cloth around her frame and slid out of the bath looking to her familiar for a much needed explanation. "I'm sorry nanami, I lost control of myself please forgive me, he spoke head down in shame, "what's happening to you?" she questioned moving to him slowly but he hastly grabbed his kimono and moved to the other side of the room, "I will explain but please stay away from me Nanami." She could see the pain in his eyes from his action and without another question she turned to leave sliding the screen closed behind her.

Tomoe:

I almost took her and she almost let me..I will explain everything to her but I must keep my distance.

Tomoe wrapped his kimono back around his wet frame and breathed deep, desperately trying to fight back the urge he felt only moments ago, he dropped his head once again as her words replayed in his ears.. do you love me tomoe? "yes I do nanami" he whispered to himself "and that's what I'm afraid of."

Make sure to keep my distance

Say I love you when your not listening

How long?

Till we call this love?
