Time Out From The World We Knew

Chapter 10 – The Darkness into Light

"Love is the gift of Oneself" Jean Anouilh

"Now it's my turn." Kirika whispered to her, as she pressed her warm naked body against the blonde woman's. The Japanese girls eyes were glowing as she looked down at her. Her eyes had never looked so beautiful as they did now...

Mireille stared up at her young partner. She couldn't believe that this once quiet and emotionless girl was becoming her lover. The older woman found she was trembling with desire as Kirika softly smiled down at her. She slowly trailed her fingers through the Coriscan's slightly sweaty bangs, their nude bodies melded together.

"Mireiyu... can I make love to you? " the Japanese girl asked her softly.

The gaze that Kirika gave her quickened parts of her, as her heart began to race in anticipation of things to come. Mireille had never felt desire this intense before.

"Yes Kirika, make love to me, please..." She pleaded softly to her. (She loved this girl...she wanted her forever..)

Kirika's mouth softly descended down to hers, their lips meeting eagerly as the girl slowly began to explore her lovers body. Under her partner's hands, Mireille's flesh heated with exquisite warmth, as the younger girl traced their path along the blonde woman's curvy body.

The Corsican woman gasped. It felt so good. She decided she would let Kirika take control for once. She trusted her partner...besides...she wanted this so much...

"This is only the beginning for us, right? " Kirika whispered, as she began to trail her lips over Mireille's soft flesh, pausing gently to kiss her full breasts. Every where the Japanese girl touched her, sensations flowed through her like never before.

"Yes...this is only the beginning..." the blonde whispered.

-----------------------------------------

The moonlight became Mireille. With her blonde hair and pale body illuminated by the glowing light, she reminded Kirika of an angel. (How did I ever get so lucky to have the love of this woman?) the Japanese girl wondered to herself.

She still couldn't believe that they were becoming as one. Her partner had caused her to feel and experience things she never thought she could. She had made her feel wondrous and magical...most of all, she had made her feel loved.

Now she was going to show her partner how much she loved her too...

-----------------------------

Mireille watched as Kirika cupped her breasts, pausing to move her tongue slowly across a hardened nipple, teasing the delicate tip with her teeth, before finally taking it into her mouth and sucking on it gently.

The blonde made a small whimper of pleasure as the younger girl repeated the act on her other breast. It felt so good...

"Kirika..." she moaned softly, as the girl moved down across her belly. Her mouth moved over her, licking, nipping, tasting...

Just watching her partner as she moved lower left her breathless and what she was doing to her body made her skin burn, sending shivers of heat down to pool in her midsection and below, between her legs.

Mireille gasped as her lover began to kiss softly over her long legs, then planting small kisses on the tender skin of her upper thighs. Her partners hand tentatively began to explore the blonde woman's sensitive place...

"K..kirika..." she whispered, as a jolt of pleasure ran through her.

"Mireyu..." the girl responded, as she explored Mireille's wet folds, before gently and slowly inserting a finger inside her.

The blonde arched back as Kirika began to move her finger in and out in a gentle rhythm, her thumb pressing down on her sensitive nub.

"oh..." the blonde moaned softly as she began to fall into ecstacy...It was beyond pleasure...into a place of pure feeling so intense... she thought she might cry...

She felt full of light...

------------------------------

Later-

Mireille cradled her younger lover to her tenderly as they lay together in their bed. They finally expressed their love for each other physically. It had been worth every trial, every tear, all the pain they had been through. Now, none of that mattered anymore.

Just as long as they were together ...

Kirika looked over at her lover in the dark. The blonde looked so beautiful with her hair spread against the pillows.

"Mireyu..thank you." the Japanese girl whispered softly, as she reached out and stroked her lover's arm.

The Coriscan looked at her and smiled. "I should be thanking you. You were wonderful..."

The Japanese girl felt herself blush slightly. "What I meant is thank you for saving me. You saved me from the darkness within me and you saved me from the lava. You've forgiven me too. I owe you so much, Mireyu..."

The blonde embraced her lover and kissed her softly. "You owe me nothing, Kirika. Just stay by my side. That's all I want from you."

"You also gave me my identity when you began calling me 'Kirika'. It may have been a fake name- but it belongs to me now because you made it real when you identified me with it. Thank you for that gift ." the younger girl explained to her lover.

"Kirika, I love you." The blonde said tenderly, as she blinked back tears at her partner's touching words.( How could she ever have thought that this girl was a nuisance or a disturbing enigma?)

"I love you too, Mireyu." the girl whispered as she leaned over her lover for a kiss.

---------------------------------

Hot, sweet kisses were followed by exquisitely delicious pleasure...

The two women would get no sleep tonight...

As the darkness turned into light...

Chapter 11 – Feel the Future

A/N- I hope this was enjoyable. I don't know how this turned out, I don't like to be too explicit but I hope this was okay. I am still learning (or not) to write narratively. Sorry if this got a bit sappy - M/K tend to do that to me:)

I also have started using "Mireyu" more, I'm not trying to copy any other Noir writer, it's just that since I have been listening to Noir in Japanese(for retellings) I find I just like the way it sounds. It's addicting!

Next chapter will be rather fluffy but I might address a few things in the last 2 chapters that may set the tone for my sequel. I just have to write another Noir story after this..I am going to plot it out though. Some say why bother- that this anime is old and losing it's fanbase, but I don't agree! I just saw this in May 2006, so it's still new to me! I try to hook all my friends on it!

Also, Thank you so much to the people who review my stories! You know who you are and you don't know how much I appreciate it! It really inspires me and helps me to keep trying.

Please review? Pretty please? Constructive Critism welcome. No flames, please!
