The room still smelled of almond cookies, when Lupin woke up to Clarice gyrating her hips against his.

"Morning, beautiful.'' he yawned.

"More along the lines of good night. We kind of slept through dinner. It's about ten at night.'' Clarice said kissing his neck. Lupin sat up ,knowing very well, his erection was back. He had been dreaming about Clarice, naked and bathing. That was enough to get him hard.

"Well somebody's awake.''

"Yeah.'' he said before groaning.

"Keep that up ,I'll be inside you in two seconds flat.''

"That's the idea.'' she said kissing him forcefully. She continued to stroke him, enjoying him moan.

"Clarice, please I want you.'' he said. Before she even had time to say yes, Lupin entered her. The continued to move in rhythm until they both climaxed.

"God, you smell so good. I love your scent.'' Lupin said kissing her neck.

" I love you. Now care to join me for a bath?''

"You know the answer.'' he said as he got out of bed and followed his wife.

They took a bath, and after some bathing and more sex, they got dressed and went to the kitchen.

Henry and the rest of the group were up, eating the rest of the wedding cake.

"Well, well the newlyweds, finally decided to emerge from their room. About time. your aunt's been bugging us ever since you two went to have some alone time.'' Fujiko said.

"Ugh! Don't remind me. She's a pain. And she wants to see you.'' Henry said pulling out a bottle of beer. He handed Lupin a beer, which caused Clarice to look confused.

"What's that?''

"Beer. You've never had it, have you?''

"No. Champagne, yes. Wine, yes. Beer, no.'' she said honestly. Lupin opened the bottle before handing it to her. She stared at the bottle, before taking a swig of it. Lupin was surprised she drank a lot more than he expected. She swallowed before showing her disapproval.

"Bleh! It taste horrible. How can you men drink this stuff?'' she asked, causing the men to laugh. Lupin kissed her cheek, before taking the bottle from her. The group sat and talked until they heard glass break.

"It's probably the maid again.''

"At ten at night? Really Jigen?' Fujiko said before being shut up by Lupin. A tall black haired man appeared about ten feet was giving orders.

'That's the guy from the party. What's he doing here?''

"I don't know. He doesn't look like hes in the mood to drink beer or chat. Goemon ,Henry. Watch over Isabelle, Clarice and Lady Himeko. Jigen, Fujiko and I will-''

"So we can't go with you?'' Clarice said speaking up.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want any of you ladies hurt.''

"You forget I know how to fight. I also know a way out of this kitchen without going through those doors.''

"Let me fight with you and I'll show you.''

Lupin wasn't about to let his wife fight.

"It's not like we're in a position to argue, the guy is up to no good and he's got ten other guys with him. We need to get out of here. Now. '' Henry said.

"Alright.'' Lupin said giving an irritated smile to his wife. She smiled back, before leading them to a secret passageway that was in the pantry.

"How do you know this?'' Lupin asked.

"I had to find some way to avoid the count. Who would suspect a women hiding in a pantry?'' Clarice said walking up the stairs. Lupin had to agree with that statement.

They found themselves in the arsenal room.

"I need to get some things. Lady Himeko here.''

Clarice said handing her a sword. Lady Himeko smiled joyously.

"Ohh and just the right balance.'' she said causing Goemon to stare shocked.

"Isabelle, pick a weapon,''

"I'm more partial to a rifle .I aim very well.''

"I'll believe it when I see it.'' Jigen said. Isabella shot the rifle off, and aimed right between the eyes of the enemy. Jigen turned and aimed, not firing.

"Looks like we have company.'' Lupin said grinning as the black haired man appear, gun in hand.

"Hand her over.''

"Which one? You have four.'' Lupin asked.

"Don't play smart. Hand over Clarice.''

"Give me a reason I should?'' Lupin asked, before the black haired man cocked his gun.

"Because I'm the one holding the gun and I'm the one calling the shots.'' he said before the gun was shot out of his hand by an unsuspecting Clarice.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing ruining my wedding night?'' she growled before being pulled behind Henry.

"I'm here to kidnap you, murder your husband and to marry you myself.''

"Fat chance.'' Goemon said fiercely.

"My name is Count de Cagliostro.'' he said removing the mask.

"The count.'' Clarice whispered. Her voice had a twinge of fear, but she shook it off, growing angry.

"Now come with me.''

"You didn't learn your lesson the first time.'' Clarice said ,aiming a second arrow.

"What makes you think I'll go so easily?''

"I'll kill Lupin.''

"You said that the last time, and I survived.'' Lupin said cheekily.

"That's why I planned for this.'' he said shooting Lupin in the chest.

"Lupin!'' Clarice screamed before being grazed in the shoulder.

"Come with me or I'll put a bullet through his head.''

"The rest you, kill Lupin's companions.'' he order as he dragged Lupin into another room.

"Don't do it!'' Lupin said through his clenched teeth.

"Do it or else.''

"Alright. I'll go with you.'' Clarice said calmly, knowing he was lying. She walked over and kissed Lupin before turning.

"Clarice don't do this. Don't!'' Lupin yelled as she walked farther away from him.

"Clarice!'' He yelled, before fading. Clarice kept screaming, waking up after being shaken by Lupin.

"Easy! Woah! It's ok. It's ok.'' he said as she clung to him, crying.

"I dreamed the count was back. He killed you and tried to make me marry him again.''

She cried.

"Hey, calm down. The count's dead. And even if he wasn't, I'd outwit him. Now relax. Go back to sleep.''

"I don't think I can.'' she said ,wiping her tears. Lupin kissed her neck.

"Then this should get your mind off that nasty mean count .'' he said undoing the buttons on her gown.

"Lupin, oh god, stop.'' she whined as he thumbed her nipple,causing her to moan.

"Relax. I'll protect you. Besides you know you want to.'' Lupin said before continuing. She bit her lip , knowing her husband was right.
