Chapter 2

The aroma of pancakes, maple syrup and coffee filled the room. A young lady in a apron twirled around the kitchen with a invisible partner, a spatula in one hand as she flipped the pancakes and set the table down for breakfast.
Kaori Makimura just could not stop smiling.

Ryo will love this, she thought as she placed the pancakes in the middle of the table.
After making sure everything was ready, Kaori decided it was time to get Ryo for breakfast and made her way to the terrace...
The last night' s incident filling her mind, making her giggle like a teenager experiencing first love and her heart did flip flops inside her chest.
How long had she dreamed about Ryo sneaking into her room? Sans the times hot female client were there. To see only her and her. And to be the subject of his mokkori efforts.
And last night had given her just that.
Her filled with happiness, anxiousness, fondness, ... feelings of gratification and feelings of the unknown gripped her, just like last night.
Gratification that Ryo had sneaked into her room and... panic about what they had to do when they were in the confinements of four walls and a bed.
She had let the panic get the best of her, making her pound the poor City Hunter with her 1000 ton hammer and resulting in him... being here like this.
Ryo is definitely going to be mad, Kaori flinched as she thought that and opened the door to the terrace.

Ryo rubbed his cold nose to get some feeling back into it.
The morning was really cold and the single blanket he was covered with provided little protection against the freezing breeze.
Ryo sighed... the Gods must really hate him.
His left hand ached from being tied to the pole for so long.
You could have tied it a little bit loose Kaori, Ryo gritted his teeth as he tried to massage his hand.
Not that he had expected Kaori to stop with her disciplinary punishments all at once after becoming more then friends and partners. But he did hope...
Well, looks like I was wrong, Ryo thought bitterly.
Ryo shivered as he pulled the blanket more tightly around himself... it didn't help that he wasn't wearing a shirt either.
Speaking of which, where was his shirt?
Probably, lying around somewhere inside Kaori's room, Ryo thought glumly. But... now he did have a valid reason for his intrusion, the next time he sneaked inside Kaori's room. He did like this game they were playing though... maybe he was a masochist after all.
Yesterday... yesterday had been good.
A very rare kind of satisfaction and fondness was seen on the face of the City Hunter.
No, it wasn't because of Kaori still being innocent when it came to the matter of making love,... did he the City Hunter just refer to sex as 'making love' ? ... Ryo shook his head bemused, the things she was doing to him, he had a playboy imagine to maintain! Or maybe he didnt... not any more... Ryo said to himself, deep in thought as he looked up at the morning sky that was a mixture of a vibrant hue of bright colours.
No, he didnt, Ryo smirked, he had a lover to teach many things after all.

Okay fine, Ryo accepted defeat with his inner thoughts, very perverted thoughts, maybe Kaori's inexperience was also a part... a very little... part of his happiness. Because yesterday had been... Ryo laughed aloud at the memory.
He had been feeling rather careless and happy, he had kissed Kaori like never before, still had wanted to kiss her more... not to mention Kaori's revelation that she had never been with a man before did funny things to him... both body and soul.
They spent the rest of the day playing. Ryo chuckled at the description he had used.
Kaori would try to go about with her usual chores like other days but her efforts were wasted in vain, as Ryo kept jumping her, kissing her and dragging her against him in a iron grip. Kaori would submit to his will after a while but would push him away sometime later stating she had work to do. And the process had continued over and over again till night time.
After dinner, which had been quite funny as the lecher kept begging Kaori to feed him, Kaori had obliged at first but later had turned a bright shade of permanent red when Ryo specified that he wanted her to feed him with her mouth. Kaori had proceeded to stuff his mouth with vegetables with a fork, stating he needed his vegetables to stay strong before gathering the dishes and walking into the kitchen, all the while her face red.
Ryo decided he liked Kaori better like that. Blushing. Cute.
Ryo had just finished with his dinner and decided to play some more with Kaori, when Saeko had showed up, wanted to discuss some details with the case they had just wound up.
Ryo had left with Saeko to go to her office where she had some files she wanted to show him. But not before Saeko asked Kaori, if she was well because her face was still red.
Kaori had stuttered and shook her head, explaining she was very well indeed. Saeko had just looked at her funny before turning around and leaving.
Ryo had chuckled and winked at her before closing the apartment door behind him, leaving a even redder Kaori behind.
Later, he spent a good amount of time going over the files and left late, telling Saeko that he would look into it.
"So, how was the getaway?", Saeko had asked casually before he had exited her office.
" What about it?", Ryo asked in the same casual tone, his hands in his coat pockets.
"Quit acting like you dont know Saeba. What happened between you and Kaori? Something's changed.", Saeko pointed out.
Ryo was impressed but it was't like he and Kaori were hiding their change in status quo. But maybe, it wouldn't hurt to play with Saeko a little bit...
Ryo kept his face blank as he turned his face toward her, keeping his expression glum and saying in a disinterested tone before walking away, "Yeah. Maybe".
Ryo chuckled at Saeko's exasperated expression as he walked away. Women, he thought.

It was past midnight when Ryo walked into the dark apartment.
Kaori must have gone to sleep, Ryo thought dejectedly. He would have so loved to play some more.
Well, it is pretty late, Ryo tried to reason with himself as he made his way upstairs to his room.

Ryo stared at the ceiling, contemplating- To sneak or not to sneak into Kaori's room?
Past nights endeavour had made him known that Kaori had been a sound sleeper. That is until Lei Akumu's little stint and Kaori could not sleep unless he was with her.
A fond smile took place ion Ryo's face on the memory. He liked it when Kaori needed him. And he would be lying if he said he didn't like sleeping next to her, even if his spur of the moment decision was just to calm down Kaori and show her that she didn't need sleeping pills to run away from her inner demons... Ryo's facs hardened at the thought and shook his head ruefully. Well, the outcome had been quite satisfactory. But it had been a terrible experience,... he wanted to hold her, really hold her,... he wanted her... but common sense had told him that it wasn't the time for that and he had compiled to it. But now...
Oh..., a very mischievous thought took rook in Ryo's mind as he jumped out of bed and sprinted towards Kaori's room.
"I forgot we sleep together and how rude of me to forget it!", Ryo said in a almost triumphant tone.
But never the less, as he neared Kaori's room he started to tip-toe to her door and opened her door carefully not to make any sound.
Ryo could feel his mokkori imagination go into over drive when he saw Kaori in a loose shirt that was to big for her and hanged off her right shoulder and pyjama pants.
Ryo made his way carefully across the room to her bed and got onto the bed, all the while his eyes never leaving Kaori's form.
He hovered above her, his hands on either side of her head... What a cute face!
Her bare left shoulder seemed to call out for him to mark her as his ... he dipped his head and did just that.
He kissed her collar bone, softly at first but then roughly as he lost his control over his feelings, that seemed to happen a lot around Kaori.
Kaori squirmed in her sleep and Ryo smirked against the crook of her neck... time to wake up Kaori, he thought and bit down on her collar bone...hard.
Kaori woke with a gasp.
Ryo grinned down at her dumfounded expression. He continued to grin, waiting for some reaction from Kaori, while Kaori just continued to look at him dumfounded.. for a long... long time.
Then Kaori smiled her cute lovely smile,... Ryo almost screamed 'Yes! I am getting lucky tonight!' and threw his shirt over his head in one swift motion... but stopped in his thoughts of glee seeing Kaori's serene features change to that of pure outrage.
Ryo had been under the mercy of Kaori's Hammers for quite some time and could easily see what was going to happen next but he wasn't fast enough and found himself under her 1000 ton hammer embedded into the floor painfully. Definitely not what he was hoping for.
"You pervert! How dare you sneak in to my room when I am sleeping?! ", Kaori yelled as she dragged him out of her room and up to the terrace.
"You will scare the female client away if you keep trying to jump her!", Kaori said exasperated as she chained him to the pole.
"But Kaori!", Ryo cried, "There was no female client!"
"Dont you dare...", Kaori's voice trailed off as the reality dawned, completely on her sleeping mind.
"I wanted to jump YOU!", Ryo clarified as he looked at her hopefully. He really didn't want to spend the night outside, he wanted to spend it in a bed... with Kaori.
"Really?", Kaori tilted her head to the side and asked, her voice full of wonder.
"Yes!", Ryo almost screamed.
"Oh...", Kaori's face became red as she stepped back.
"But still that is no excuse for your beha... behavior!", Kaori stuttered before turning around and running inside.
"Kaori!", Ryo called out defeated.
Looked like he was sleeping out tonight.
The only trail of thoughts and dreams that night had been on how to get Kaori back for making him suffer like this... and that cheered him up greatly.
Yup. Definitely a masochist, Ryo thought.
