I awoke the next morning to the feel of a warm body next to mine.
Gentle arms held me tightly in a protective embrace and I felt a familiar body pressing up against me from behind. I turned my head slightly, hoping not to wake him, and blushed.
I was going to have to get used to this – Kazune finding his way into my room. Weeks ago, I'd found it was him sleepwalking.
It was pretty embarrassing, the first time I'd found out.. At first it had scared the heck out of me.
I woke up in the middle of the night to find my throat was really dry and went to get some water from the kitchen. From the place I was standing in the kitchen, you couldn't see the entryway, so I hadn't seen anyone coming.
Right when I was pouring the water into a glass, I felt his familiar arms wrap around my waist and his stomach press against my back. I stiffened in chin rested against my shoulder and his cheek pressed against mine as if he was looking to see what I was doing. But I turned to my left to see his beautiful eyes were closed and his long eyelashes were hanging slightly over his cheeks.
I almost …...moaned.
I'd never really mentioned it before, but I realized I liked it when he held me that way. I couldn't explain it.. It just felt so good.. he was so warm.
I didn't know what to do, and I didn't want to wake him, so I just took his hands and led him carefully back to my room. It may have sounded weird or perverted, but he has the habit of crawling into my bed at night, anyway, so what was the point? But, I had gotten another futon because I was too embarrassed to sleep in the same one with him!
It continued after that.
This morning, he was holding me like always. You know... the normal Kazune.
Not the perverted and mysterious one.
Come to think of it.. I haven't seen the other Kazune in about 12 days.
Yes. I was counting.
And I don't know why... yet.
"Kazune... wake up.. it's Saturday.." I said gently. The gorgeous blonde teen only stirred.
I twisted in his arms and pushed his soft golden hair I could spend hours running my fingers through out of his face. His eyes opened slowly and his mixed sapphires fixated on me.
"Good morning."
Kazune had learned Japanese VERY quickly. In only a week and a half, he could respond to almost anything I said. I think the only few things he didn't know about were curse words,violence, romance, and.. sex.
All things I'm positive his other half knows perfectly well about.
Sometimes I was scared to be alone with him!
"Good morning..." I felt my cheeks redden once more. Kazune cupped my cheeks,leaned forward and kissed one of them.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"N.. no, I'm fine."
"You're.. red."
"Yeah.. I'm.. I'm just.. embarrassed.."
"What's embarrassed?"
He looked like a curious puppy with those big eyes! I was lost in them for a second, completely spaced.
"Karin..?"
His smooth voice made me snap back to reality and I tried to come up with an answer.
"Uh... um... it means I.."
"..Kids, enough with the snuggling. If you're going out today, you better hurry!" I heard Chisame call.
"Ah. That's right.. we were supposed to go on a date today...!"
"A date?" he cocked his head.
I felt my embarrassment show on my cheeks and I shook my head frantically, my ponytail swinging.
"T-that's not what I meant.. you know... uhh... a date.. as friends...! Not the other kind of date!"
Kazune sat up and looked down, a blank look on his face. I'm not sure if he noticed, but his hand had never left my hip and he was supporting his weight by keeping his hand next to my head on the ground. I stared up at him shyly.
"What's the other kind of...date?" he asked innocently.
"Ahh... ummm... well... it's.. when a couple will go out together.."
He blinked, " Are we a couple?"
I shook my head again, "N-no! Couples are two people who are .. in l-love."
"Love? Are we in.. love?"
I don't know, really. I mean.. I might, but I'm not sure if you... WAIT, WHAT AM I THINKING?!
I sat up and sat on my knees and looked up at him again.
"I... no.."
Kazune searched my eyes, "What does it mean?" he asked, reaching up to gently brush a strand of hair out of my face.
"It's an emotion you feel when you... really care about someone." that was as simple as I could put it.
"Care? I care about you."
I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest. My eyes widened in shock, locked with his gorgeous ones, and my cheeks reddened from embarrassment. I bit my lip and struggled to look away.
Kazune placed both hands on the ground next to my legs and leaned in, his lips grazing my cheek.
I gripped the bottom of the futon when I felt his chest press against mine. I could feel his heart pounding through the cloth of his loose black tee.
"Karin."
I turned slowly since his face was so close and bit back a gasp at the look he was giving me in his eyes.
I gazed into the sapphire, true blue, and twilight ocean blue eyes and I let go of the futon to touch his chest with shaking hands.
Kazune gave a small smile as his soft eyes searched mine again.
Both of his hands reached up to cup my burning cheeks and I looked at him with heavy eyelids.
"K-Kazune..."
I looked down at his lips.. they looked so soft and kissable.
I wanted... I wanted to...
What do you want?
It was a dumb question, my body already knew, I just hadn't thought too much about it. This time, my hands were gripping his shirt as if for dear life. I felt dizzy just by the way he was looking at me. We moved at the same time, leaning in closely. Kazune had probably watched a lot of scenes like this on TV and wanted... to try it with me, because he was being so gentle and perfect.
I shivered when our lips finally touched. My heartbeat increased.
His lips felt wonderful. When I closed my eyes, I saw stars and fireworks. I know, it may have sounded cheesy, but it was true.
"Mmmn..." I deepened the kiss, wanting more. Although it was my first kiss, I was lucky it was such a hot one. My hands touched his stomach and I felt him tremble before leaning further in quickly.
"...K...arin..." he pulled away, we gasped for air, but for only a second before I claimed his lips again.
Kazune grabbed my sides and gently pushed me down, crawling on top of me. We weren't sure who would be dominant, therefore making it difficult for me to stay still.
I threw my arms around his neck and he grabbed my leg before hitching onto his waist and gripping it tightly. The need for air increased, my body felt so hot and I was yearning for something I'd never really wanted before.
My lips parted to gently caress his with my tongue. Kazune inhaled sharply.
I whimpered under him and began to squirm. I wasn't even sure what I was doing, now. My senses were clouded so all I could do was feel. My hips brushed against his on accident and Kazune pulled away.
"Now, now, my dear, we'll both get what we want soon enough, there's no rush."
My heart skipped a beat at the deeper, sexier tone of Kazune's voice and I looked up to meet violet/amethyst eyes that were searching me hungrily.
I gasped.
It was...him!
I struggled to get away and he only smirked.
"Look, I want you very badly, and you want me too, so why are you changing your mind so suddenly?" he grabbed my hips and held me in place. I was weak against the strong hold he had on me.
"G-get off! It's not fair that you randomly changed like that! I.. I thought you were.. I -"
"You thought I was Kazune, right? My name is Apollo... Enough talk, let's continue, I love where this is going, don't you?" he said in a seductive tone. He leaned down and crashed his lips against mine.
He pulled away, biting my ear and making me yelp.
"Come on, don't you want me?" he pressed his form against mine and I used all my strength to push him away. I succeeded, and when I did, I slid out from under him and jumped to my feet, hugging myself.
"W-why are you such a pervert?! If I tell you to get off, then you GET OFF!"
"Why wouldn't I be perverted around you? You have such angelic curves, it's hard to keep my eyes and hands off of you, my sweet."
I glared at him through watery eyes, feeling humiliated, and was still trying to catch my breath.
"Please, I don't want you to be angry with me.." he crawled toward me on his hands and knees, moving slowly like a lion ready to capture it's prey. He bent down and grabbed my ankle – gently – before lifting my foot to kiss it.
"But I can see that you're not ready for me just yet.. but that doesn't mean I'll be able to fully control my urges, darling."
I had to slam my hands against the wall behind me to gain my balance, wobbling.
"Ahhh! H- hey, stop it already, we have to go!" I pulled away from him, flushed.
"You're still going to take me out on this human activity called a 'date?' Wonderful!" he beamed like he was this happiest person in the world.
I took a deep breath and sighed.
I'd be lucky if I could get through this entire day without my innocence being taken.
