Chapter 4
Hayate stormed into the family home and went to his room and began packing a duffle bag. When Ryu walked in and leaned against the door frame. "So, you eliminate the council making you the sole leader and decision maker. This will cause chaos, so instead of dealing with the chaos, you're leaving?"
Hayate looked over his shoulder. "Only for a few days. I'm too stressed out and want to stay with my sisters for a couple of days."
As Hayate was saying that, his father walked in shaking his head. "Talk about stirring up a hornet's nest. I understand the stress, but do you really think leaving right now is a good idea?"
"I'm too stressed out. I need some relaxation away from things before I wind up making a hasty decision. Since you were the previous clan leader. I'm leaving you in charge for now. I promise I will back in two or three days. Four at the most. I gave you a cell phone to contact me when I'm away, so if anything comes up that you think I really should deal with. Call me or let it just sit until I return."
Shiden sighed shaking his head.
"You can go itoshi under one condition…" Ayame said walking in.
Hayate raised a brow. "What would that be Okaasan?"
Ayame smiled warmly. "Give my love to Ayane and Kasumi, and be respectful with the Arashi boy… You are going to his house after all."
"Hai. I was respectful when I visited before."
"Hai, but that was a quick visit. You weren't staying there itoshi."
Hayate nodded.
"From what it sounds like, Ayane found someone that loves her. So, try and not to interfere."
Hayate turned to finish packing and rolled his eyes. "Okaasan, can you please bring me a supply of our clan's unique tea? You know how much Kasumi-chan loves it. She's been gone for so long, I wanted to bring her some."
"Of course." Ayame said leaving the room.
Hayate sat down on his bed and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Ryu asked.
"I didn't even think to see if it's ok, and not just show up."
Ryu and Shiden chuckled some. "I see what you mean about the stress. Why don't you call Ayane-chan and have her ask?" Ryu suggested.
Hayate shrugged. "Wouldn't hurt." Hayate grabbed his phone and pressed a button and it started to ring.
"Konbanwa Nii-san?" Ayane's voice on the other line could be heard.
"Konbanwa Imotou. Can you please put Mason on?"
"Umm… ok…" Ayane walked over to Mason looking confused.
Mason looked over at Ayane. "Everything alright?"
"I… I don't know…" She handed the phone to Mason. "It's Nii-san, he wanted to talk to you."
Mason took the phone blinking in surprise. "Really? I wonder why?"
"If you put me to your ear, I'll tell you Mason-kun." Hayate's voice could be faintly heard with a slight chuckle.
Mason put Ayane's phone to his ear. "Konbanwa Hayate-san."
"Konbanwa Mason-kun. I'll make this brief. I'm under a lot of stress, and need a little time away from the village." Hayate made sure to emphasize the word little. "Is it alright with you if I spent a couple days there?"
"How many are we talking?"
"Only two or three, at the very most four."
Mason nodded and walked outside and shut the door.
"Where's Mason-kun going?" Kasumi asked walking down the stairs.
"I… I don't know… Niisan called me and wanted to speak to Mason-kun."
Kasumi blinked. "That's odd."
"Sorry for the pause, wanted to step outside for some privacy. Sure, I don't mind. Unfortunately all the spare bedrooms are taken. Normally I'd offer you haha's (mother when talking about your mother in Japanese) room, but she's coming into town for my birthday. But, the couch is actually a futon and is rather comfortable."
"No problem. I'm used to sleeping on tatami." (Japanese mats for sleeping.)
"Do you want me to tell them?"
There was a long pause while Hayate thought about it. "No, let it be a surprise. I'll be there shortly."
Alright Hayate-san…" Mason laughed.
The two hung up and Mason walked back in. "What did Nii-san want?" Ayane and Kasumi asked simultaneously. The two looked at each other and laughed.
"He wanted to talk to me about something… He doesn't have my number yet. Next time I see him, I'll be sure to give it to him." Mason explained tossing the phone to Ayane.
"He got a point girls…" A familiar Texan accent said seemingly coming out of no where. That is until they saw Tina's arms rise from the futon and stretched.
"Oh, that's where you went Tina." Kasumi said in a light chuckle.
"Sorry darlin', long flight. By the way, you're all Japanese, why have you been speaking in English?"
Ayane frowned. "Asami-san… She wants us to speak English to help improve my English."
"I see… Well, it's working. You're English has improved dramatically since this past summer on the island."
"Thanks Tina."
Just than, the doorbell rang. Mason was in the kitchen preparing the night's meal and looked over his shoulder. "Ayane, can you get that please?"
"Sure." Ayane walked over and looked through the peephole to no avail as someone was covering it up.
Ayane opened the door and stood motionless for a minute in complete shock at who was before her. Standing on the other side of the door was a very familiar face to not only Ayane, but to Kasumi and Tina as well.
"Well, are you going to just stare, or can I come in?" Came a feminine voice with a thick British accent. Ayane just stepped aside in disbelief allowing the tall and slender woman to walk in. She had very short white hair, a black sports top, and black cut off jeans. In one of her hands, she had a bag with a wrapped thin box in it.
"C… Christie?"
"Yes love… Do you know anyone else that looks this good?" The infamous British Assassin said in her usual self confidence.
Mason immediately turned around. His eyes looked the assassin over. His eyes tracing every dangerous curve of her body. "And just who might you be?"
"He's my boyfriend Christie… So keep away!" Ayane snapped.
"My, my… Aren't we touchy… To think I came out here to give you your birthday present, and you speak to me like that… Perhaps I should leave… Gift and all."
Ayane frowned and looked to the ground. "Gomen-nasai Christie." Ayane said very softly.
"My, my… You certainly have changed Ayane…." Christie's eyes locked onto Kasumi. "You're in the same house as Kasumi, and she's not dead… I thought you wanted to kill her."
Kasumi backed away. Mason saw the look in Kasumi's eyes and moved in front of her. "She's the one that abducted me for DoATECH." Kasumi mumbled softly.
"What's that love? Couldn't quite hear you."
"Because she was talking to me Christie…"
"Is there a problem here?" A voice from outside said. Stepping into the house was Hayate with a duffel bag.
"NII-SAN!" Ayane yelled out in excitement. Kasumi disappeared from behind Mason in a burst of sakura petals and reappeared behind Hayate.
Hayate kept his eyes locked on the British Assassin. "And why are you here Christie?"
"Well, hello there Hayate… Oh wait… How do you say that again… Konbanwa?"
Hayate crossed his arms across his chest.
"Oh fine… So much for the supposed honorable and respectful Japanese people…"
"Don't give us that Christie… You know damned well, you of all people have given us enough reason to not be respectful of you…"
Christie let out a sigh. "Fine… I'm not here to cause any problems anyway. I know that Ayane's birthday is right around the corner. I just came by to give her a birthday gift."
"How did you find me?"
"Girl, it's my job…" Christie laughed. She than walked up to Ayane and handed her the bag. "Happy Birthday Ayane, hope you enjoy it. Just be a good girl and wait till your birthday."
Mason finally walked over to Christie and held his hand out. "I'm sorry, Name's Mason… Mason Storm."
Christie gladly took his hand. "My, my… Handsome and a gentleman…" Christie looked over to Ayane. "You better hold onto this one, he's a real catch… And don't worry… He's to young for me anyways…" Christie said with a smile.
"But, I have to be going. My plane leaves in a couple hours. It was nice to make your acquaintance Mr. Storm."
Mason bowed respectfully. "It was… Nice to meet you Christie. I do have to admit though, you are a lot more beautiful in person… Not as beautiful as Ayane…" He said pulling Ayane in to a hug. "But still beautiful none the less."
"Yeah, I know…" Christie laughed. She than walked away waving behind her.
Tina stayed out of the whole ordeal as she was well aware of all the circumstances, as Kasumi had told her once before.
"Nii-san… Why are you here?" Kasumi asked in shock now that Christie was gone.
Hayate picked up his bag and laughed. "Umm.. Surprise?"
Ayane looked from Hayate to Mason and back. "Y… You mean…"
"Hai, that's why I called. I'm under a lot of stress and needed to get away for a few days… Seeing that bitch didn't help."
"I'm only going to be here for two or three days, Than I have to get back. I have a lot of news, but I just want to relax some."
Hayate-san, Did you pack some trunks?"
"Hai, why Mason-kun?"
"I have a Jacuzzi out on the deck. It'll help relax you."
"Arigatou."
Hayate opened his bag and went through it pulling out a box and hands it to Kasumi. "Okaasan sends you and Ayane both her love."
Kasumi takes the box. "What is it?"
"Just open it and see Onee-chan." Ayane said with a laugh.
"Ayane-chan. That's from Okaasan and me to her since she's been away from the village all this time."
Ayane nodded in understanding.
"ARIGATOU, ARIGATOU!" Kasumi yelled out in excitement hugging her brother. Hayate just smiled and hugged Kasumi. After they hugged. Hayate went into his bag and pulled out a pair of white knee length swim trunks, and went in to the bathroom and changed. When he came out, he looked over at Kasumi. "Kasumi… Can you brew some tea?" Kasumi just nodded and went into the kitchen and prepared the tea mixing her new tea with her other assortments to make her own unique blend. Hayate than looked over at Mason. "Mind joining me? I want to talk to you a bit alone." He than looked at the girls. "Don't worry, it won't be a long talk. Just need a little privacy, than the three of you can join us."
Mason nodded and went into his and Ayane's room. He got undressed and put on a pair of black knee length swim trunks with a silver tiger on the left leg and a silver dragon on the right. He walked out side shutting the door behind him and joined Hayate on the opposite side of the Jacuzzi.
"Before you start Haytae-san, I do have a question for you. Being that you are their older-brother and as such I can imagine are very protective even if you don't show it as your role as your village leader. But, being that you asked if you could stay here for a few days to get rid of whatever stress is bothering you. I agreed for Kasumi-chan's and Ayane-chan's sake. To be honest, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."
"Oh? And why's that Mason-kun?"
"Like I was saying, I would believe that you're protective of them. Am I right?" Hayate just looked at Mason long and hard for a moment before just nodding. He was holding back on saying anything until he saw where the young man was going with this.
"I thought so. See, I'm an only child, and if I had a younger sister or two, I would be protective of them as well. The thing is, I do think of Kasumi as a sister, but…" Mason cut himself short when he saw Kasumi approaching with a tray with the tea.
Kasumi walked up and knelt down setting the tray down. She than slowly scooted back before standing up. "Arigatou Imouto." Hayate said with a smile. Kasumi smiled back and walked back inside shutting the door behind her.
"Ah wonder what those two are talkin' 'bout." Tina said curiously. Kasumi shrugged. I saw them talking as I was approaching the door, but they stopped as soon as Mason-kun saw me coming." Kasumi replied.
Mason sat up and poured a cup for Hayate and handed it to him before pouring himself a cup. Mason raised his brow in surprise. "Wow… This is exquisite. Kasumi-chan has made tea countless times, but it was never this good." "It's because of my clan's special tea. Our tea trees have been specially bred… Well, I'm no farmer, so I don't know exactly what they do. All I know is we've developed our own unique tea that you won't find anywhere else in the world."
Mason nodded. "Anyways, as I was saying… The reason I'm uncomfortable is about me and Ayane… Yes, I know we've only known each other for a few short days, but we both feel as if we've known each other our entire lives. I love her deeply, and she me. The thing is. We… We're very affectionate. I know that she's feeling a little disappointed that we haven't slept with each other yet. To be honest… I… I don't know if I'm really ready for that."
Hayate listened as he drank his tea and a small smile came across his lips. "Now, I truly know what type of person you are."
Mason raised his brow and confusion was painted upon his face. "I knew that statement might have that effect on you. I remember what we talked about the other day, but I still had my suspicions… I am an older brother after all. Three teens; a boy and two girls living together with no parental supervision… Yes, one you feel like a brother to, but the other you're not just in love with… Yes, I know what love feels like. From what you described to me you are in deed in love with Ayane. But, the fact that you sleep in the same bed, and from what she said you both sleep with barely anything on at all…" Hayate stopped and took a sip of his tea and looked over at Mason who was blushing and had a nervous look on his face.
Mason quickly took a sip of his tea and almost spilled it in the Jacuzzi.
"Relax Mason-kun…" Hayate chuckled." I'm actually fine with it. I can't remember the last time I saw her this happy." Hayate began, but was interrupted by the doorbell. Mason repositioned himself and looked towards the door. "Hmmm… I'm not expecting anyone, and neither are the girls. It can't be Ryu-san, he's never came in from the front."
"Hai… Ryu is on a diplomatic mission for me down south." Hayate commented.
Mason watched as Ayane went to the door and opened it. Standing before her was a Japanese woman. She was very beautiful She looked to be in her early to mid thirties. She had Emerald Green eyes, Luxurious silky black hair that fell to her shoulders. She was wearing a black women's business suit, and had suitcases and bags at her side.
"Ah… Judging by your hair and eyes, you must be Ayane-chan." The woman spoke softly with a respectful voice and a warm smile. Ayane raised a brow, but before she could say anything. She was interrupted by Kasumi's scream of joy.
"ASAMI-SAN!" Kasumi cried out in excitement and ran to the other woman. Asami held her arms out and laughed as Kasumi ran to her with a hug.
Mason put his tea down and jumped out of the Jacuzzi wrapping a towel around himself. "Gomen… My mother arrived earlier than expected."
Hayate nodded and got out himself. Mason looked over his shoulder. "My mother wants us to speak nothing but English to help Ayane."
Hayate nodded. "I'm glad. She's struggled with it, but I see she's improved considerably." At that the two walked into the house. Asami saw Mason and walked over with a big smile and hugged her son.
Mason gladly accepted the hug and hugged his mother back.
"Well, Ah be… Ah thought you weren't gonna be heah fer 'notha week." Tina said walking over to Asami and bowing politely before her.
"Hi Tina. Sorry, but I wanted it to be a surprise. I see we got a full house…" Asami chuckled. "Let's see… I know Tina and Kasumi. This pretty thing here has got to be Ayane…" Asami looked over at Ayane and smiled. She than looked over at her son. "I can see why you've had a crush on her. She certainly is very beautiful." Hearing the compliment, Ayane blushed slightly. Asami than looked over at Hayate and studied him. "Hmm… No, you're definitely not Ryu. I know him very well… " She looks over at Tina with a grin. "Definitely not Bass, nor Zack…." Tina laughed, and the others joined in. "Since you're Japanese, that must mean you are Hayate, Lord of the Mugen Tenshin and older brother to these two pretty girls." Asami deduced putting a hand on Ayane's and Kasumi's shoulder.
"Hai." Hayate bowed respectfully to the woman.
"Please. Speak English. I made this household English until Ayane's English improves."
Ayane frowned. "But, it has improved…" Ayane pouted.
"That, maybe the case Ayane, but there is still room for more improvement." Hayate said softly to his youngest sister. "I thank you Mrs. Storm…"
Asami held her finger up and waved it. "Uhhh… It's Asami, you'll make me feel old…" At that everyone laughed.
"Anyways, I had a very long and tiring flight. I'm going to go take a nap and will talk with you all later." Asami said taking her bags and going upstairs to her room.
"You ok ka… mom?"
"Yes dear, just tired had a long flight. Than there was problems with the transfer flight from Amsterdam. Wound up stuck there for eighteen hours. Don't worry about me."
Mason just nodded. "Well, let's continue our private discussion." Hayate said to Mason as he headed back to the Jacuzzi.
Mason walked up to Ayane and gave her a kiss, than walked outside with Hayate shutting the door behind him. Mason capped off his tea and smiled seeing the steam. "Good, it's still nice and hot."
Hayate smiled and refilled his cup as well. "So… Do you know what you're getting Ayane for her birthday?"
Mason looked down into his cup of tea silently.
"Something wrong Mason-kun?" Hayate asked.
"Sort of… I asked Ayane what she wanted for her birthday…"
"So, what did she want?"
Mason sighed heavily before looking up to Hayate. "She pointed to her ring finger and said she wanted something that fits right here that has a diamond that's surrounded by sapphires in the shape of a butterfly…"
"Let me get this straight… She wants a specialized engagement ring?"
"That's what it sounds like to me." Mason replied.
"Well, that makes things a little easier for what I wanted to talk to you about." Hayate smiled.
Mason raised a brow in confusion.
"I'll explain. I won't go into all the details as it's not important as far as you yourself is concerned, but do you know the term Tabula Rasa?"
"It basically means new beginnings… A clean slate as it were."
"Correct. That's what's happening with the village right now. I recently was informed that the council of elders was with holding information… Important information about some of a Clan Lord's political powers and abilities. One of them is that once every three years, the Lord of the village can make one ruling that can't be challenged. Another was once every year, The Clan Lord can overturn any previous ruling." Hayate said softly. "Now, I know you're probably thinking what does this have to do with me? Am I right?"
Mason took a sip of his tea and than nodded. "Yeah, that did cross my mind."
"I thought so. Well, with my one and all powerful decision… I disbanded the elder council making me the sole ruler of the village as it was in the early years. As far as how it concerns you… Since you have been aiding Kasumi and are in love with Ayane, it has everything to do with you. You remember I said that Ryu was on a diplomatic mission for me?"
Mason just nodded.
"He's going down to speak to Master Sakumora of the Howaitorotasu Clan… Who incidentally just happens to be your grandfather if my information is good."
"My Grandfather? Why do you need to speak with him?"
"That's a very good question. Truthfully, I'd be disappointed if you didn't ask. I'm well aware of your heritage, how you are descendant from two different clans, one that you are basically the only member of, and the Howaitorotasu. Even if you aren't an active member of the clan, you are still Sakumora's grandson. As you are well aware of the fighting between the Mugen and the Kuroi Yama… What you may not know. Is that the Howaitorotasu is also fighting the Kuroi Yama. It was brought to my attention that if you were to wed Ayane, it would unite our two clans and strengthen us both."
Mason took a sip of his tea and remind silent for a long moment. "…I see… So, you want to use both Ayane and myself as a tool?"
Hayate shook his head. "No… Not entirely. You make Ayane happy, happier than I've seen her since we were all kids. Ryu suggested something that I was originally apprehensive about, but my mother was also strongly in favor of. It was Ryu that suggested that if there truly was anything between you to let it blossom and even wed. It was my mother that took that deeper saying that if the two of you wed, it could unite our clans. Before you say anything… My mother is not on the council and never was. She has stayed quiet on clan matters, but this once she spoke out…. Oh boy did she speak out…" Haytae chuckled. "I have never seen her go on tirade before. She is Ayane's mother, but is also a loyal member of the Mugen Tenshin with no political voice. She stated that with us to the north of the Kuroi Yama, and the Howaitorotasu to their south. If we were united it would put a squeeze on them. Both of our clans are fighting the Kuroi Yama, so it makes perfect sense." Hayate explained.
Mason listened to Hayate quietly and when he finished. "I see. So yes it's a benefit, but the bottom line is for Ayane to be happy. As far if there is anything between Ayane and myself… As you said I do love her, and she loves me as well. I know its only been a short few days, but I know it's not hormones or lust…. I know it goes deeper and more emotional. I… I would be lost with out her."
Hayate nodded. "I do as both a big brother and Lord of the Mugen Tenshin approve of you to wed if you want."
Mason just smiled. "Can we call them out, or do you have more to discuss?"
"No, you can call them."
Mason turned and looked at the glass door and motioned for them to come outside. At that Ayane walked out. "So? What's the secrecy?"
"You girls can get changed and join us if you wish." Hayate said with a smile. At that the three girls disappeared. Mason and Hayate looked at each other and laughed.
"You were right Mason-kun. This Jacuzzi is washing away some of my stress."
Mason leaned back and looked up at the clouds. "Hai."
Moments later Tina walked outside wearing a red white and blue striped thong, and a tight sports bra-like bathing top that had the Texas flag printed on it. Tina eased in to the Jacuzzi. "Ahhh…. 'tis how I like it." Tina mewed.
Shortly there after Ayane walked out wearing a purple thong bottom and a top that criss-crossed her upper body. It had two very strategically position butterflies that covered a small portion of her breasts, but still left more than enough skin that caused Hayate to frown. Ayane slipped into the Jacuzzi and sat down on Mason's lap who wrapped his arms around her and locked his fingers together on her abdomen.
Kasumi was the last to come out wearing a very conservative one-piece that was pink with white trim and white sakura petals. She eased herself into the hot water and let out a sigh of contentment.
"On.. Brother." Ayane corrected herself. "So, what's the news?"
"I learned that the elder council was keeping some of my political powers secret from me and they forced father into keeping quiet about it."
"Oh? So what did they keep away from you?"
"Well, the important things were that once a year, I can reverse a previous decision, and the other was once every three years I can make an unchallenged ruling by the council."
"Really?" Kasumi said in surprise.
"Yeah, and I made both of those already." Hayate said pouring more tea and sipping it slowly.
"Don't keep us in suspense… What did you rule?" The sisters said alternating words. The looked at each other and everyone laughed.
Hayate smiled at his sisters. "Well, my reversal was to denounce the death mark on you Kas. As I said to the council it never should've been put on you in the first place." Hayate watched as Kasumi leaped at him in a big hug. Everyone laughed.
"The death mark maybe repealed, but I want you to stay in school. This is your last year. You don't have to worry about hunters, and can concentrate on your classes."
Kasumi went back to where she was sitting and sighed as she felt the Jacuzzi jets massage her back.
"Secondly… What I called my one all powerful decision… "After yelling at the council who has seemed fit to veto every decision I had made for bettering the village, forcing father and Elder Tsukomo into remaining quiet. Who were more concerned about themselves than the village… I permanently disbanded the elder council. I will be creating my own set of advisers, but that's all the power they will have to give advisement. It will utterly be my decision on how to act on their advise. I don't know how many advisers I will name. Maybe just a few to start, and add more as I feel they are needed. I'm going to name Mother and Father as well as Ryu and Elder Tsukomo as my advisers. I've always respected his wisdom."
The sisters looked at each other in shock. "You did what!?" they said simultaneously. They looked at each other and laughed followed by Tina, than Mason, and Hayate.
"Now you can see why I had to get a way for a couple of days. I really hate to be a burden like this."
"Don't worry about it. I have a lot of respect for the Mugen Tenshin. Kasumi and Ayane live here with me, so my home is your home as well Hayate." Mason said with a smile. "Besides when you called, I knew they would love to see you again for more than just a few minutes."
Mason than held out his hand and Hayate grasped it. "Arigatou."
"Uhh… English brother…" Ayane teased winking and sticking her tongue out at Hayate.
Hayate laughed. "Thank you Mason."
"You're welcome. Should we…"
"No. Not yet. There's a few things that need to get covered first."
Mason just nodded.
"'An jus what 'er ya two up to?" Tina asked.
"Nothing to worry about. I'll bring it up when the time is right. But it's getting dark, I want to turn in early." Hayate turned to look at Mason. "I heard from Ryu about your early morning sparring with Kasumi."
"And me too…" Ayane interjected.
"Yeah, for the longest time I had to basically shadow fight. It's good to have sparring partners. Would you mind if I sparred with you in the morning as well?"
"Sure, no problem. School's on break, so we don't have to cut it short."
"What time y' all git up ta' spar?"
"Four o'clock, why?"
"Ne'er mind that's to early fer me." Tina chuckled.
"You're on vacation anyways. No need to get up that early to train. In the basement I have a rather impressive weight room and practice mats, but prefer sparring outside." Mason told both Tina and Hayate."
"Machines or free weights?" Hayate asked.
"I have both. Not that many machines, as I prefer free weights, but there's a few specialized machines."
"Good, and I agree there are certain machines that can fine tune your training, but… I'm going to get changed for bed. Night all."
"That's our cue as he will be sleeping down here." Mason said climbing out of the Jacuzzi as does everyone else.
Kasumi picks up the tea pot and cups and washes them before heading to her room. Tina stretched and yawned and took herself up to her room.
Mason and Ayane walked into their room. "Mason…"
"Hmm?"
"I know what you said to me, but do you really love me?"
"What brought that about?"
"You only give me a small kiss before bed and don't try anything."
"Ayane… I love you, but also respect you. I don't want to do something that we both would regret later." Mason tried to explain.
Ayane reached behind her and unhitched her top causing her swimsuit to fall to her ankles and stood before Mason completely naked. Mason tried to fight it, but his eyes traced every inch of Ayane's beautiful body.
"Like what you see?" Ayane asked teasingly.
All Mason could do was nod. Ayane walked over to him and hugged him pressing her soft breasts into his muscular chest. "Take me tonight."
Mason looked deep into Ayane's eyes. And shook his head. "No, not tonight. I would feel very uncomfortable with your brother here."
Ayane nodded. "Ok, I can see that, but from now on you will cuddle up with me in bed ok?"
Mason just kissed Ayane and than led her to bed. Ayane climbed on the bed and crawled to the head. Mason couldn't help himself, and slapped Ayane on the ass causing her to let out a small yelp. Mason than took off his trunks and turned off the lights. He climbed into bed and slid close to Ayane. Ayane rolled Mason over onto his back and laid her head down on his chest and listened to the soft beating of his heart before drifting off to sleep.
