The sun was now showing through the windows on the train. Satoshi looked to his side at the sleeping Daisuke who had fallen on his shoulder
"Daisuke..." he said lowly. Satoshi couldn't help himself as he reached out his hand and caressed Daisuke's cheek
"so soft..." he thought to himself. Satoshi quickly pulled his hand back when Daisuke slightly started to open his eyes,
"yawn goodmorning.." Daisuke said with a sleepy face as he gave Satoshi a smile
"goodmorning"
"are we there yet?"
"yeah next stop" Satoshi relpied.
"Did you get any sleep?" asked Daisuke
"no..." "why not you should have got a little!"
"I was too busy watching you" Satoshi turned his head to face Daisuke as he gave him a small smile. Daisuke just stared at Satoshi as his heart started to race
"are you alright your turning red?" Satoshi reached out his hand to feel Daisuke's forehead, Daisuke snapped out of it and slightly turned his head away from Satoshi
"yeah I'm fine!..."
"NEXT STOP...SENDAI.." Satoshi stood up
"that's our stop, come on"
"ok..." Daisuke got up and followed Satoshi to the train doors. The train slowly came to a stop and the doors opened
"where are we going now?"
"there's a Ryokan not to far from here, we'll be staying there for a couple of days" Daisuke nodded and followed Satoshi out of the train station.
"Are we almost there yet!" huff huff Daisuke gasped for breath as he spoke
"It's not that much farther..."
"How far in the woods is this Ryokan!" Satoshi pointed his finger ahead of him "There it is.."
"Finally!"
"hehe.." Satoshi chuckled under his breath as he looked at Daisuke
"what is it?"
"I was just thinking.."
"of what?"
"your in horrible shape for a theif" Satoshi smiled as he said it
"I'm just not use to hikeing up mountains!!"
"Come on let's go and get a room" Satoshi smiled at Daisuke again and went inside. A man in his late fourties sat behind the counter. He looked up when Satoshi came near
"May I help you sir?"
"yes please, I would like a room for two"
"alright please follow me.." the man got up and headed down a beautiful hallway. The man then opened a door and went inside
"Here we are" Daisuke looked around, the room was flawless. Two mattresses were layed close together. Elegant curtains drew over the windows makeing it seem like a dream. Tatami mats filled every inch of the floor. Beautiful vases were placed on hand carved mantels, and four paintings of emaculate scenerys filled the walls with beautiful colors.
"This is your room sir, we also have an open air bath just down the hall to your right, breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m promply and dinner will be at 7:00 p.m, please enjoy your stay, and I will be just down the hall if you need anything" "thankyou very much" Satoshi bowed, the man bowed back and left the room and closed the door.
"How much is this place?!" Daisuke asked as he looked at Satoshi
"not that much"
"this place is really nice!"
"well I'm glad you like it" Satoshi smiled at Daisuke.
"Why don't you go and take a bath, we've been traveling al night and I'm sure you want to relax" Satoshi grabed Daisuke's bag and placed it in the closet
"yeah that sounds like a good idea!"
Daisuke sat down in the water "ahhhh...it's so nice..." Daisuke closed his eyes and smiled to himself.
"I wonder why Satoshi isn't takeing a bath too?"
After relaxing in the bath for a while Daisuke got dressed in fresh cloths and headed back to they're room. He entered the room but Satoshi was nowhere to be seen.
"Satoshi?" Daisuke checked every room of theirs
"Satoshi are you here?" Daisuke left the room and went to the counter where the old man was
"Um excuse me..?"
"yes?"
"My friend, have you seen him?"
"oh yes your friend, he left not to long ago"
"thankyou!" Daisuke ran out the door.
"Where could Satoshi have gone?" he thought to himself as he looked for him. "Satoshi!" Daisuke yelled his name in hopes that he would answer. Daisuke heard his name said softly, he ran in the direction it came from.
"Daisuke?" Satoshi was sitting under a beautiful tree just on top of a hill. "Daisuke, what are you doing?" Satoshi looked up at Daisuke in confusion.
"I couldn't find you.."
Satoshi looked up at Daisuke "well... you found me" Satoshi smiled at Daisuke as he padded the ground next to him for Daisuke to sit down. Daisuke slumped down next to Satoshi
"Why are you all the way out here?"
"I just came here to relax" Daisuke looked out at the landscape
"It is very beautiful here..."
"yeah..." Daisuke and Satoshi were silent for a few minutes as they enjoyed the scenery. Satoshi broke the silence
"So.." "hm?" Daisuke looked at Satoshi
"Why did you come looking for me?"
"well I..."
"what is it?" Satoshi asked
"I thought you left..."
"why would I leave?"
"I don't know it was just a stupid thought!..." Daisuke turned away from Satoshi slightly flustered.
"I wouldn't leave you behind..." Daisuke turned to Satoshi and smiled
"I know you wouldn't.."
"...I'm glad you came to find me.."
"well..I..um!.." Satoshi seemed to not hear Daisuke's stammering and continued to speak "cause, everything seems more beautiful when... your with me..." Satoshi looked Daisuke in the eyes as he said it. Daisuke stared at Satoshi in a daze "Satoshi..." without even thinking he gently caressed Daisuke's cheek as he pressed his lips against his. Daisuke could feel the heat off of Satoshi's lips, his whole body became weak as they kissed. Pushing Satoshi away was the last thing on Daisuke's mind. His body started to feel hot as he felt Satoshi embrace him and his hand caress the nape of his neck. Daisuke could not concentrate on anything else but the pleasure he felt as Satoshi kissed him again. He fell back on the ground lightly as his body became numb with pleasure. Daisuke's heart beated furiously as Satoshi kissed him. Satoshi all of a sudden stopped kissing him and sat back up as he rubbed his head
"I...we should head back.. dinner will be served soon.." Satoshi got up and headed back to the Ryokan.
Daisuke slowly got up "What just happened?!" he said to himself "Satoshi just!..." "Daisuke come on!"
"ok.." Daisuke ran to Satoshi as they headed into the ryokan.
"Oh, that was good!" Daisuke rubbed his belly with glee as he lay on the floor.
"It's getting late we should go to bed soon"
"yeah, I think I'll go to bed now, sleeping on the train was a little uncomfortable" Daisuke smiled as he headed for the bedroom
"oh and you should get some sleep too you didn't sleep at all!" Satoshi smiled "yeah, I will" Daisuke went into the bedroom and layed down on his matress.
"It's kinda hard to talk to him normally after that..he's acting like nothing even happened!" Daisuke stared out the window as he thought to himself
"what did happen?..." Daisuke's heart started raceing as he thought about it
"I don't know..." Daisuke rolled over in his bed
"Satoshi..." he then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Daisuke opened his eyes and looked around. It was still dark
"Satoshi?..." Daisuke looked at the bed next to him but no one was in it.
"Where is his?..." Daisuke slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He could hear from outside his window a splash of water.
"Is he outside?.." Daisuke got up and went out of his room. He quietly walked down the hall, to the open air bath. As he walked into the open air bath, he saw Satoshi sitting in the water. He quickly hid behind a barrel that was sitting there. "Why is he up so late?" Daisuke said to himself. He slowly peered at Satoshi from behind the barrel. Daisuke found himself wishing he were taking a bath with him. Satoshi slowly stood up from the water, Daisuke could do nothing but stare at Satoshi as the water ran down his back.
"He's so...handsome..." Daisuke said to himself as he continued to stare at Satoshi. The moon came from behind the clouds, and Daisuke was mezmerized, as the moonlight washed over Satoshi's body. Daisuke's heart started beating faster and faster as he started to feel flushed. Satoshi grabed his towel and wraped his lower body in it.
"What am I doing?!" Daisuke looked away from Satoshi and put his head in his hands.
"I like Riku..that's right, Riku, she's waiting for me back home!" Daisuke sat there trying to remember his love for Riku, from out of nowhere a voice came from above him "Daisuke...what are you doing there?"
