This chapter is longer than I have plan, which I hope you guys are happy about that. Writer's block has been annoying, that's all I can say. My hands have been itching to write in the past days, but I couldn't write, and you can imagine just how irritated it is. I wish I were like some authors who could write what they want whenever they want to. If it were that way with me, I could have had many stories complete by now.
For Love Lust Attraction, anyone who follows it, you will have to wait. For how long I do not know. I have tried, but I couldn't even get past 100 words before I have to give up. I simply can't write.
Thanks for the reviews as always. I hope you like this chapter. And please forgive the grammars because I'm not in the mood to write. If I wait to edit it many times like I always did, it might not be done for a week or two or could be even longer. I have this habit that if I'm not in the mood, I can't read or write through a paragraph of my story. Anyway, don't forget to review. Goodnight.

"We are here," declared Aki. They were in an area surround by grassland. Before them was a cliff.
Rin and Aki stepped down from the cat demon.
"It's beautiful," Rin complement. The high ground they stood gave good scenery of the view below. The moon was not too big or bright, but it still gave them a breathtaking view. The miles after miles of greeneries as well as the lakes and ponds that scattered all over the land glistening in the distance.
"It is isn't it." Aki agreed, proud to be the one introducing such gorgeous place to her. "I found it a while back while hunting."
"And you want to show it to me," Rin smiled knowingly. Anytime he found something good, he could not wait to share it with her. Aki's face blushed slightly pink, but was barely noticeable under the soft moonlight.
"You like it." He stated knowing too well that she loved beautiful sceneries.
"Yes, I do." She confessed looking at the view in front of her. "But we could have come during the day." The view would not be any less enchanting, she was sure.
"It has to be at night," once again, Aki had that secret smile on his face. He still has something up his sleeves.
"Kirara, you go on ahead." He directed the cat demon who growled softy in acknowledgement and took off. Rin tilted her head slightly to the side wondering what he was up to.
"Come," he extended a hand to her, his face could barely contain the excitement. She could not help but feeling excite with him, giving her hand into his. He led her toward the edge of the cliff until they were right in front of it. The cold wind blew at her hair and face strongly. She could hear the whir winds stir and traveled into the distance. She had a bad feeling about this.
"We jump," and yes, he just conformed her suspicious. But somehow she was not surprise.
"No. No, no, no. This is crazy." Rin backed away from the cliff after sneak a peek down the dark abyss.
"It's safe Rin. There is a pond below. I have jumped down countless times." He assured her. Yes, this was one of Aki's side, always risky. And the negative side about it was he tried to drag her along it as well. But that was not the worse: Rin often found herself succumbed to his persuading, no matter how her rational mind screaming at her to not give in.
"You what? Do you know how dangerous it is? What if you get hurt?" her mother instinct kicked in.
"It's fine Rin." He stated calmly, taking one of her hands into his. "It's fun." There, that smile again. The smile that promised her a good time and half of the time he proved it right. The other half? Well, she would not go into the details of it.
"You know I will never risk hurting you," he stated, which she knew was true. Rin hesitated for a second and he grasped onto the chance like a predator strike at its prey weak moment. "You can either jump with me, or after me. Because with or without you, I'm going down. And Kirara and I will not come back until way later."
"Are you threatening me?" She challenged him. Was he threatened to leave her here alone by herself?
"I'm persuading you," he flashed her the smile he knew she was weak against.
"It will be over in a second," he pushed.
Rin rolled her eyes. "I must be crazy." That statement made his boyish smile broaden knowing he had had her on board now.
"It's going to be great. I promise," and he led her once again toward the cliff.
Great or not she did not know. All she knew was that her heart felt as if it would tear itself out. Her palms were soaked with cold sweats.
"Ready?" he asked in his ever bright tone. She sometimes wondered if he was actually a demon in disguise and had the power to cloud her judgment the same way the sea demons could fabricated her memories seeing how he could always talked her into doing strange things.
"No!" She was anything but ready.
"Jump!"
And the next thing knew, she was falling. Her ear piercing scream echoing throughout the serene night while his gleeful shout mirrored her beside her.
"Hold your breath," he warned her right before they reached the surface.
And then a big splash.
She felt him swimming up, pulling her with him. They were still holding hand, and she followed suit. Kagome had taught them well how to swim.
"That was fun." He stated, grinning like an idiot.
"You're crazy," she retorted half-heartedly, could not stay mad at him after seeing that happy face. But she must have been crazier letting him talked her into it, though she could not deny she loved the excitement he brought to her. She let go of his hand and they started swimming toward the shore.
"Oh, you know you love me," he winked at her. She could not help but scuffed at that statement.
"Don't be too full of yourself, Aki." But the giggling afterward told him she was joking.
"But you know it's true." He laughed.
Rin rolled her eyes.
"Let's race and see who can reach the shore first." Aki decided. Rin observe the pond, they were still about twenty feet yet to the bank. She wanted to tell him he was being childish, but she could not help the excitement building up within her. He always brought that side of her whenever they were together.
"Bring it on!" and she started toward the shore at full speed.
Rin was laughing with Aki at the bank, both lying on their back, painting. Painting, but laughing. She had not been this carefree for a while now.
"It's cold," Rin stated.
"It is." he agreed.
"You should have told me to bring a spare of cloth." He had already decided they would jump off the cliff, he could have told her to bring something to change into.
"I didn't think that far," he confessed.
"If you've thought that far then you must be a fake Aki." She teased him. He had the habit of just get up and going, doesn't plan too far ahead.
"Hey, I can make a plan too when I need it," he protested, pouting slightly. He could come up with great plans when things were serious. Kahoku often complemented that his plan had saved their lives against demons many times.
"Then what should we do next? Planner master. I'm cold." She was still teasing him. He glared at her, but only half-hearted.
Aki gathered some dry woods and built them a small fire. Kirara who had been waiting for them watched them with little interest.
Rin tried to squash out as much water of her clothes as she could, but she was still shivering even beside the fire. The wind, soft as they were, was chilly.
"You're still cold." he stated after observing her.
"And who's false do you think it is?" she teased.
"Fine! I will take responsibility for it," he answered, playful as she was, pulling her into his embrace. She had her back against his chest while her front facing the fire. "Since when did you nag so much?" he complained.
Rin could not help but giggled, snuggled closer into his chest, liking the warmth. "You're really warm." She answered instead.
"Of course I am." He was always warmer than her.
"Kirara, come and snuggle up with us too. I need my back warming up as well." He called out brightly to the two tailed cat who was now in her small cat form sitting a on the other side of the fire. She raised her head, meowed softly, disinterest, and rested her head down once more.
Rin giggled at the sight. "Don't go bullied her. You were the one who chose to jump into the water."
"Fine!" He pouted again. "You will just have to warm me up then," and he snuggled her tighter.
"Still, why are we here at night?" she questioned again. It was true that the nocturnal view was beautiful, the pond under the soft yellow moonlit gave made its tranquil surface the color of silver. Surrounding the pond was the rarest of flowers with the softest, yet sweet and calm aroma. The area around the pond was shaped into an oval by tall trees giving them privacy; right next to the cliff where they had jumped from was an open cave, a part of the pond.
"It has to be at night. Just wait. They will come."
As if on cue, she spotted a flicker of light, and then another, another, and anther. Soon the whole area was flooded with lights of hundreds of fireflies. When all the disturbing noises Rin and Aki had made died down, declaring no danger, the fireflies showed up.
"It's beautiful," Rin breathed.
He smiled, his cheeks flushed slightly from embarrassment.
"Thank you," Rin turned to give her friend a dazzling smile before returning her attention back to admire the fireflies.
"You're welcome."

At that time, they had not expected that a certain silver haired, golden eyes demon would show up.
And no, he would not like what he sees.
Not at all.
