Chapter Eight

~ So Right It's Wrong ~

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."

~ Judy Garland ~

*WARNING: this chapter may-will contain things of a sexual nature, namely a lemon. If you don't want to read things like that, it is advised that you do not read…just sayin…*

"Love…me?" he said carefully, feeling the sharp pulse of his heart jump into his throat. Love, what was it? Exactly. Was it the warmth that spread through his chest? Was it the nervous flutter in his stomach when she smiled? No, it was more. So much more than the physical attraction, it was the way his soul whispered need for her. The way his heart had begun to beat for her, she was the first breath of his life, he realised. He wanted to experience the world with only her, he wanted her to show him what it was to love and be loved. The thought both terrified and excited him, she accepted him, all of him. She loved him, all of him. Why? Why did she-"Phew, I thought you'd probably just shoot me down or something" she breathed out, and smiled. It felt like a weight had been lifted, she felt lighter.

"Please look at me" she whispered, she needed him to look at her. Slowly he turned around and gazed into her eyes, feeling the overwhelming emotions of affection, gratitude, and love.

She raised a hand to his face and ran her fingers along his jaw, feeling the smooth cool skin. She gently skimmed her thumb over his lips, mesmerized in the moment.

She let her lips touch his gently, a spark of desire ignited in her belly. She did it again with more force, with need, and suddenly he was meeting her with the same desire fuelled frenzy. He pushed her back sliding his hand down her side to grab the hem of her shirt. She moaned as his lips trailed down her neck, she wiggled to help to get the shirt off. His hand cupped her breast, his thumb rubbing over her nipple, sending shocks of pleasure through her body.

She fought with the button of her trousers as she bit back moans; Akito pulled the hem of her shirt over her head, feeling the soft curves of her body. He pushed her back into the bed and with nimble fingers popped the button and worked the jeans down her legs. He started to remove her black lace underwear; she could feel the pulse of her heart through every fibre of her body.

She was already wet; she felt the licks of pleasure pulsate as his fingers slipped in and out, she could feel her breath hitching as he did wonderful things to her body.

She was lost in delirious pleasure, she gasped when his lips captured her in a furious kiss.

"Akito, tell me you love me" she whispered into his ear, feeling his heart beat against her own. "I love you" he said and thrust into her, her hips reared up in reply, they moved together, flesh meeting flesh.

"Tell me again" she demanded louder at the building pleasure, they moved faster. "I love you" he growled as they worked closer to the peak. They both felt the explosion of pleasure rush through their bodies. He collapsed onto her, breathing heavily, he was still inside her. He made a move to roll onto his back, but was stopped when she said "No, don't. I like it like this" she said, breathless. She had thought she had had sex but this was sex. She hadn't felt anything like it, despite how short it was. It was amazing.

They didn't talk, but instead just laid there in each other's arms, enjoying the peace they felt with each other.

It had been a long flight, and it was good to be home. He walked into the main house and was surprised to see that there wasn't anyone about. The maids weren't busy doing their duties as they normally did. His brow drew in concern, he walked up the long wall way to Kazuki's room, and she would be awake. He didn't bother to knock; he hadn't done it before so why start now?

He opened the door intending to greet the cheerful woman but stop dead when he saw no one, but two naked bodies lying on the bed. It wasn't the fact that Kazuki was in bed with a man, she was old enough to indulge herself, but it was who she was indulging with. There lay Akito, naked, with Kazuki.

"Hatori! You're back! I didn't know th-" "shhh!" "-at…is that? And are they…" "Yes, Shigure, that does what it appears to be" "Oh my" Shigure said, taking in the scene from behind Hatori. "What a surprise" he patted the dragons shoulder.

"Don't you think that maybe we should leave before they noticed your gawking, Hari, you're such a perv~" Shigure sang quietly. "Yes, that we should" Hatori was still too shocked to move. This was supposed to happen, but not like this. They were meant to become friends not lovers, or whatever they had become. He needed a drink, something strong.

"What are you doing?" Kazuki asked as she stretched her muscles, lying next to Akito. She grinned like a fool, she couldn't help it, she felt fantastic. "You" he replied simply, tracing intricate loops across her exposed torso.

"What have you done to me, Kazuki?" he said quietly, this was the first time anyone had ever truly seen him and loved him for who he was and not what he was. To her, he was just a man, he wasn't god, or the head of the clan, he was just Akito.

"To you? What about me? What have you done to me?" she threw back good naturedly. "I don't know" "me either"

They lapsed into silence. "I'm hungry, like super hungry" she said, feeling her stomach grumble.

Akito placed lazy kisses along her neck "maybe that can wait" she murmured, but frowned when her stomach erupted with a growl. "maybe it can't" she groaned and smiled at Akito, "I'll be back, don't move" she said darting from the bed grabbing a robe as she went. She secured the belt and smoothed her hair, "don't be too long" he said, watching her with a small smile.

"I won't" she quickly strode down the hall to the kitchen to stop short when she heard voices. All the maids had been let go, how could there be anyone in the kitchen?

She walked in composing her face to cool and casual, she balked when she saw Hatori and Shigure sitting at the bench sipping coffee.

"Ha-san! When did you get back?" she exclaimed, beaming at him as he rose to embrace her. "Why didn't you call? I would've picked you up from the airport!" she said as she let go of him. "You've been gone for ages!" she smiled, and then frowned when her stomach growled again.

"I only just got back this morning" he smiled despite the sick feeling swelling in his stomach. "It seems things have changed dramatically in my absence, where is everyone?" he asked, sitting back down and beckoning her to do the same. She ignored Shigure as the last time she had seen him, well, it had been awkward. He walked in and had been-she forced the thought from her head and continued to smile at Hatori.

"Oh well, you know, it's a long story. Anyway, I have to make a phone call-business as always" she cheerfully bounded out of the room, trying to quell the intense swell of emotions. What would she tell him, that she was involved with Akito-what were they now? She thought before she could stop herself. It hadn't all been a lie she was planning on calling that guy about the soccer, she could use something else in her life besides work and love, she needed some sport, she needed to keep fit.

Refreshed and ready to get on with the day she located the hall phone and dialled the number she had pinned in the wall next to it.

"Hi~!" a voice she remember clearly sang into the phone. "Hi, Gin-kun, its-" "haha I know who you are, Kazuki-Chan! Are you going to take me up on the offer?" he exclaimed excitedly, she smiled, was he always this friendly?

"That's right Gin-kun!"

"Ah…Jin" "…" "that's my name, Kazuki-chan, J-I-N!" she chuckled, "Sorry , Jin-kun, where is training? Just give me a call when you've got-" "Next week at Oshiyama Oval" she nodded and wrote down the date and time of the training. "See you then" she said hanging up the phone, Jin-kun was a nice guy, she thought as she left to join Akito.
