Phase Seven
Sougo removed the blindfold from Kagura's eyes. Pinpricks of light assaulted her sapphire eyes, and she tried to blink away the uncomfortable spots of white. She let her vision adjust, and looked around at her surroundings.
'Where…are we?'
They were in the front courtyard of a normal Japanese-styled house. There was the common raised, wooden platform porch, the rice-paper sliding doors and the short, metal gate made of iron, tainted with a bit of rust. And the house looked as if it was unused for a period of time.
'At my old house,' Sougo replied, walking towards the doors, and sliding it open to reveal a room, which contained a low table, cushions and was otherwise empty.
'Your… old house?' Kagura muttered to herself, and her eyes widened in disbelief and annoyance. 'What the hell, Sadist,' she yelled. 'You keep me blindfolded for eight hours, accidentally on purpose pushed me in a river, let me trip over a rock, ate my share of meals, and all these while we were going to your… house?
Sougo eyed her warily. 'I've taken the blindfold off already, haven't I. And this is my sister's house. I grew up here.' He leaned on the side of the door and raised an eyebrow. 'What? Aren't you excited to be in your husband's birthplace?'
'Can you please stop referring to yourself as a "husband"?' Kagura wrinkled her nose in distaste. 'It makes you sound disgusting.'
'Ah, is that so?' Sougo smirked and walked towards her, and in one swift motion, swept her feet off the ground, carrying her bridal-style. 'Well then, that's too bad. You have to get used to spending the rest of your life together with this disgusting husband. Ah,' he said. 'I meant, your disgusting husband.'
'Will you please, please, please, stop it,' Kagura begged. 'And Sadist, put me down!'
'What?' Sougo started towards the house with Kagura struggling in his arms, her face steaming red. 'This is how newlywed couples enter their house, isn't it?'
'It's a goddamn honeymoon, Sadist! What the hell are you talking about!'
'Who cares,' he drawled.
'I DO! Save it for the real thing!'
'If you really want me to carry you again so desperately, I can always do it—'
'THAT'S NOT IT!'
'What, China.'
'It won't be… the real one anymore,' Kagura whispered.
Sougo studied her face and sighed. Well, I didn't know China was so into tradition. 'Fine, fine.' He set her feet back onto the ground, and roughly pulled her into the house.
Kagura gave a short yelp of surprise as she felt herself pinned to the floor. Sougo slid the door shut, and hovered above her, a deadly smirk on his face.
'OI, SADIST!'
'Hmm?'
'What… what are you… doing?'
'Winning.'
'HUH?'
'I'm winning you at a wrestling match.'
'Wrestling… wrestling match?'
'Yeah. Wait…' Sougo leaned downwards, letting his lips brush lightly across hers. 'Did you think I was going to kiss you?'
'N…NO!'
'Come on, China. Just admit it…'
'I did not.' Kagura tugged her wrists against Sougo's iron grip and sat up abruptly.
Sougo sat back and leaned on his hands, finding her amusing while she blushed heatedly. 'You know, if you want me to, I can always—'
'I do not want—'
His hand was over her mouth suddenly, his face dangerously close to hers, such that their noses were touching. 'Don't interrupt me, China,' he breathed, and felt a smile tug at the right of his mouth when he heard her breathing stop sharply at his close proximity. 'You should hear everything I have to say.'
'W…What now?'
'If you want me to kiss you, I can always do it. But even if you don't want me to, I'll kiss you.' He let the inch between their lips disappear as he gently pushed her back onto the ground.
'…Sadist…?'
'Hmm?'
'Why are you so nice to me?'
'Don't misunderstand, China,' he chuckled. 'What do you mean?'
Kagura flushed another shade of red. 'I meant… like, you know… like—'
'That should be obvious, I think.' He kissed her again, tracing his finger from her temple to the jaw and down the shoulder, letting his hand rest on her waist. 'It's because of the very reason I married you.'
Kagura felt a tear slip from her eye and slide down the side of her face.
Sougo pulled back slightly and dried the tear with his rough thumb. 'China?' Damn it. I might be a little more sadistic than normal people, but why can't I stomach her tears? 'Don't…do that. Why are you always crying nowadays? Do you really hate me that much?'
'No, it's just…' Kagura diverted her eyes from Sougo's burning crimson ones. 'I don't know… I never thought I'd be able to be do this like normal people.'
'I thought we've already established that we're abnormal?' Sougo tilted her chin up and her eyes returned their attention to his mesmerizing face.
'At least you don't treat me like a monster. Or an alien. Or something bad.'
'I treat you however I like,' Sougo affirmed. 'And you're only going to listen to what I say. Nobody else can call you names and order you around. Got it?'
'No way,' Kagura pushed against his chest, but he refused to budge. 'Who said you could order me around?'
'It's an unspoken rule that husbands have complete control over their wives, China.'
'Who said so!'
'Like I said, it's an unspoken rule—'
'Nobody orders me around!' Kagura hammered on his chest and Sougo caught her wrists with a questioning glance. 'Not even you, Sadist…'
'China, what's with you? We're on our honeymoon.'
'Don't bring that up to suit your tastes,' Kagura said, annoyed. 'What kind of a husband blindfolds his wife for eight hours, accidentally on purpose pushes her in a river, lets her trip over a rock—'
'Right, China. That was the fun part—'
'For you, yeah, but for me?'
'You're the masochist, the wife, the uke—'
'GAH! Don't go into that!'
'What, China. We're married.'
'I don't care!'
Sougo sighed and gave his wife a kiss he hoped was apologetic. He was not going to verbalize his apology. There are limits to this, China…
Kagura stared at him, slightly dazed.
'Stop admiring me, China,' Sougo whacked her head affectionately with his hand, 'and tell me what you want to do.'
'How would I know? You were the one who brought me here.'
'What do you feel like doing?'
'Well,' Kagura smiled. 'I'm hungry…'
Sougo sighed. 'Right, I get it…' I'm going to go broke. I hope I brought enough money…
