Two weeks later, Ami sat on the back porch, watching the ocean wave's crash onto the shore. She squeezed the hand holding hers, and snuggled back into Kaiji, who was sitting on the lounge chair with her. Kaiji hugged her around her waist, pulling her closer to him. It had been almost two weeks since she'd left Kaiji's house, and nothing had happened. The police were still in the middle of their investigation, but still had no leads. Whoever had been behind all of this had covered their tracks, or that was what Katsuragi had told her the day before.

Kaiji hadn't left her side since they'd arrived. Despite how much she told him otherwise, she knew that he stuck by especially close because he knew how afraid she was. Not really for herself as much as for her father and everyone else. She was afraid that something bad would happen to them, and that she wouldn't be able to do anything for them. Her nightmares had unfortunately come back a week arriving at the villa, so she hadn't gotten much sleep since then. She felt bad for Kaiji, as her nightmares had kept him from getting much sleep as well.

Kaiji stirred behind her. "Come on, let's go inside. It looks like it's going to start raining here soon." He leaned forward as Ami stretched her arms over her head, and slowly made her way inside.

Clouds had started to invade the skies a while ago, interrupting the peaceful blue skies that they had been having since they'd arrived at the villa. Ami had remembered watching the weather report earlier that day on the news, and had hoped that the bad weather would avoid them. But as Ami could hear it begin to thunder, she knew that their good fortune had finally run dry. She went and sat at the kitchen counter as Kaiji made his way inside. He closed the sliding porch door closed and locked it shut. He motioned for her to remain sitting, and went about locking up the villa for the night. Ami folded her arms and placed them up on the counter, leaning against it as she watched the storm clouds dancing overhead outside. The rain came a few short minutes later, and Ami closed her eyes, listening to the rain as hit the villa.

Kaiji walked back into the kitchen, his hands in his pockets as another crack of thunder rumbled outside. "Seems like we made it inside just in time."

Ami smiled and stood up. "I think I'm going to go take a shower real quick, I'll be right back."

Kaiji nodded. "Alright, I'm just going to watch the news for a little bit." Ami turned and headed towards their bathroom.

Initially, Ami had been worried, when they started sharing the bathroom, that they would butt heads with one another over it. The only other time she'd shared a bathroom with someone was her freshman year at college with her roommate. They had butted heads numerous times over having their own private bathroom time and Ami had worried that she and Kaiji would fight over it as well. But she'd been pleasantly surprised over the past two weeks that he didn't fuss over it in the least. Much to her embarrassment at first, whenever she was getting ready in the morning and he needed to take a shower, he would just waltz right in and hop in the shower while she got ready. He'd have a towel around his waist at least, and would toss it at her playfully when he got in, but he really didn't seem to care about being around her in there. And whenever she needed to take a shower, he always made sure to steer clear to give her space.

Ami walked into the bathroom and put her hair up. She'd washed her hair earlier that day, and only wanted to take a warm shower to wash the rest of her. Tying her hair up, turned the water on, letting it warm up before turning the shower on. The sound of the news echoed down the hallway, and Ami smiled as she undressed. She stuck her hand into the jet of water streaming out of the faucet, and nodded as she turned the knob towards the shower setting. It had taken her a few times to get used to the showers at the villa, as they doubled as a tub and a shower at the same time. She was used to the shower at both her and Kaiji's houses, and it had taken her a few times to understand how to switch from the bathtub setting to the shower setting. She stepped into the shower carefully, and pulled the curtain closed. The warm water sprayed onto her, and she stood still for a moment, enjoying the feel of it. She grabbed the soap and started washing herself.

As the storm raged on outside, Ami heard another crack of thunder outside. The rain pounded on the villa outside, and Ami sighed. The weather report had said that it would rain for a few days straight, which meant no more beach time for now. She and Kaiji had spent a good amount of time roaming the beach outside, swimming in the water, walking along the shore. Looks like they wouldn't get to do that now for a few days, if the weather report had been correct. Trying to drown the noise of the storm outside out, she decided to sing. She decided on one of her favorite show tune medley's, and sang to herself as the water continued to splash down on her. She began thinking of other things they could do in the villa, other than watch TV as she sang.

She held up the bar of soap up and began singing into it, as her make-shift microphone. As she tried to belt out the chorus, a crack of thunder shook the house, and the lights quickly shut off. Ami shouted in surprise, and the bar of soap slipped out of her hands, falling down into the tube with a thud. The water continued to spray her as she blindly reached her hand out, trying to find the shower knob in the dark. Her hand found the knob and she was turning the shower off when she heard footsteps running into the bathroom.

"Ami, are you alright?!" Kaiji asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, sorry I didn't mean to shout like that. I was just startled when the lights shut off."

"Yeah, the power seems like it's out for right now, so we're stuck in the dark."

Ami remained hidden behind the curtain, but popped her head from behind it to look at him. "Hey, could you hand me that towel on the counter?"

"Yeah, sure." Kaiji replied, placing the towel into her outstretched hand. Quickly drying herself, she wrapped the towel around herself and pulled the curtain back, surprised that Kaiji was still standing there. She stepped out of the shower and walked past him into the bedroom, trying not to show her embarrassment of his gazes. Even in the darkness, she could see his eyes on her, watching her as she went into the bedroom.

"Why are you still in here?" She asked curiously as he followed after her wordlessly.

Even in the darkness, she could practically see his cheeks flushing red. "D-Don't get the wrong idea or anything… It's just that since the lights are out right now, it would be the perfect time for someone to try to attack you, so I don't think it's a good idea for me to leave you alone."

She turned to look at him as she tossed the clothing she was going to put on, on the bed. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "N-Nothing."

She smiled, and walked over to him, the towel still wrapped around her. "You're not embarrassed are you?"

"L-Like hell I'm embarrassed." Kaiji diverted his eyes away from her, looking at the wall.

She placed her hands on her hips, loving the fact that she could tease him. "It looks like you are sir."

Kaiji grumbled something incoherent, and as Ami stepped forward to ask him what he said, he quickly came forward and pressed his lips to hers in a fierce kiss. His lips were warm and soft against hers, and she quickly became consumed by his kiss. Her eyelids fluttered hazily as she looked up at him when he pulled away. His eyes pierced hers as he looked at her for a moment, then widened as he seemed to realize what he'd done.

"S-sorry! I'll just…uh… I'm sorry… I'll just… I'll wait in the hall while you change… sorry…" He sputtered as he pulled away and started towards the door.

Without thinking, she grabbed at his shirt sleeve. "Wait…"

He turned and looked at her, and even in the darkness she could see the surprised expression on his face. "…Yeah?"

"You… you don't have to leave…" She stammered, looking at him.

Kaiji's eyes widened momentarily, before gazing at her with an intensity he hadn't before. "You … you do realize what you're asking… don't you?..."

Ami licked her lips nervously. "I … I think so …" She wasn't really sure what it was she was asking of him, but for some reason, she really wanted to find out. The look he was giving her sent a shiver of anticipation down her spine, and she suddenly didn't feel so embarrassed.

Kaiji sighed and smiled, shaking his head at her. He stood straight and closed the door. "I don't think you do Ami." He took a step towards her and she looked up into his face.

"Yes I do… I think…"

Kaiji chuckled. "If I stay here now, I'm not going to leave. I'm going to stay in here and make love to you. Do you understand me now?" The words she thought she'd be afraid to hear, were now the words she'd for some reason desperately wanted to hear from him. A shiver of anticipation wracked her body at his words.

"Then stay." She challenged, placing her hands on her hips defiantly. She had no idea why she'd suddenly gotten so confident with him, but as Kaiji's smile broadened, she was glad she had.

With a devilish smile, he backed her into the wall, pressing her firmly against it with his body. He silenced her as he crushed his lips against hers, capturing her mouth in a searing kiss that melted her down to her bones. Lord she didn't think she'd ever get tired of his kisses, and sighed contently into his mouth before he pulled away.

He looked down into her eyes, his expression serious. "You sure about this?"

Ami hesitated for a moment, but quickly smiled and nodded. "I'm sure."

Kaiji brought his lips to hers again, in a more tender kiss. She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding onto him as she felt his arms snake around her waist. Thunder cracked outside as his hands gently came around and began tracing the small of her back. Ami gasped as Kaiji pulled his lips from hers, and let his lips trace down her neck. Her fingers ran through his hair as he pressed her more firmly into the wall, and began to feast on her neck. He alternated from using soft delicate kisses, to more passionate, hungry kisses all along her neck. He found a spot just below her earlobe that caused her to moan helplessly against him, and he traced it with his tongue, nibbling at the lobe just above it.

Lightning lit the room around them as his lips returned to hers, eliciting another helpless cry from her. He pulled their bodies from the wall and towards the bed, and Ami felt as the backs of her legs touch the bed frame. Kaiji pulled his lips away from hers again, and Ami stumbled forward slightly, her lips wanting to follow his.

He smiled down at her, but his expression quickly grew serious as they looked at one another. Ami could hear their breathing, both ragged, as they stared at one another for a moment. Kaiji brought his hand up and grabbed the corner of her towel, and continued to look in her eyes. With one tug, he could easily pull the towel away from her, and reveal her underneath it. But he made no such movement; he continued to look into her eyes, as if silently asking her permission to see her body. She made no protest and he pulled the thin fabric away from her body. Initially feeling embarrassed, heat rushed through her body as his gaze swept over her body, and all embarrassment she felt melted away.

"You're beautiful." He whispered quietly as his eyes finally met hers.

She nibbled at the corner of her mouth. "I want to see you too."

His eyes seemed to glaze over at her confession, but smiled wickedly at her. He simply lifted his arms up, and Ami quickly understood his gesture. She brought her hands up and tugged his shirt from the waistband of his shorts, and slowly lifted the garment over his head, tossing it across the room. She took a moment to appreciate his bare chest, wanting more than anything to touch him. She brought her hands up and began tracing her fingers across his skin. His nostrils seemed to flare slightly as she traced his chest with her fingers, loving the feel of his skin against her hands. His quick intake of air as she reached further down, brushing her hands against his abs, excited her. Another crack of thunder roared outside as she reached to pull his shorts down.

He brought his lips forward and consumed her lips with his, letting out a hungry growl before she could. He pulled her against his bare chest, crushing her breasts against him. Ami gasped at the wonderful feeling of pressing her chest against his. He lifted her up before she could protest, and tossed her onto the bed. Leaning up on her elbows, she watched as he quickly yanked his shorts and undergarments down his legs. He stood there for a moment as her eyes became glued to his crotch. Holy moly, she thought deliriously as she looked at his hardened member, were they supposed to be that big? Her mouth went dry as he quickly joined her on the bed, and pressed her down into the mattress with his body.

His eyes gleamed up at hers as he bent forward and took one of her breasts into his mouth. Her fists quickly grabbed the sheets on either side of her, as Kaiji's mouth drove her crazy. He kissed, he sucked, he licked at her breasts until her eyes were rolling in the back of her head. He kissed the valley in between her breasts and looked up at her. She smiled back, and threw her head back against the bed again as he began to kiss his way down her body. An unfamiliar heat began to grow between her legs, and when his kisses traveled past it and down her legs, she let out a frustrated groan. Kaiji chuckled at her frustration and nibbled at her ankle, sending a shock wave of desire through her body.

"This… uh… this isn't going to hurt… is it?" She asked quietly.

His eyes met hers. "You're a virgin?"

"Yes…" She nodded a little shyly.

He smiled. "Well then I'm just going to have to get you ready for me."

As she went to ask what he meant, he grabbed her hips and drug her down the bed towards him. He nudged her legs apart with his head, and she looked away in embarrassment. No one had ever seen that part of her. She hadn't really even seen that part of herself. But she looked back at him shyly, and saw the desire in his eyes, and he kissed her inner thigh, sending another wave of desire up her body. She went to ask him what he'd meant, but her efforts were instantly halted when he smiled wickedly up at her and touched her most sensitive part with his mouth. She was suddenly glad that they were the only ones there in the villa at that moment, as she cried out at the feel of his mouth against her. She bit her lip to keep herself from crying out as his tongue teased her sensitive flesh.

His hands grabbed her hips firmly, holding her against his mouth as he continued to drive her wild. She had no idea what it was he was doing down there, but she didn't want him to ever stop, finding that her hips were moving against his mouth in some sort of dance she wasn't aware she knew. His tongue found a sensitive bud, and Ami felt her eyes roll into the back of her head. Her pleasure was driven to whole new heights as his tongue swirled around the bud, and sucked on it gently. She felt herself being drawn closer and closer to something, something she'd never known before. Below, she heard him moan against her, the sound vibrating against her. She began calling out his name, begging, as she felt herself being pushed over some delicious cliff she'd never experienced before. Her world exploded into a million pieces as she felt such pleasure that she wasn't sure it was real. Wave after wave, she cried out Kaiji's name as she rode out the pleasure, delirious with it. Finally, after a few delicious, magical moments, her body finally calmed, and her mind slowly drifted back down to Earth.

She panted as her eyes began to refocus to see Kaiji lying next to her, propping his head up on his elbow, watching her. He chuckled as she swallowed thickly and looked at him, her mind still foggy.

"What… what was that?" She asked.

He laughed, kissing her nose. "That my dear was an orgasm. Didn't you pay attention to anything in your health classes?"

She swallowed again, smiling up at him. "Had I known that this is what was going to come of it, I would have paid more attention. I liked that very much."

"I'm glad. Let's see if I can make you do it again." He replied, his voice sounding dark and husky against her ear as he moved above her. His voice sent another tingle down her body, and she soon found herself dying to experience that feeling again, and wanted to take Kaiji with her this time. Seeing his body above hers, she felt the sudden desire to touch him, as he had touched her. To drive him as crazy as he'd just done to her. She went to touch him, but he grabbed her wrist and smiled wryly at her when she looked up in confusion at him.

He pressed a kiss to her nose. "You touch me now and I'm not going to last very long. This time is just for you." He positioned himself at her entrance, and paused, looking down into her eyes.

"This might hurt a bit, but I'm going to try my best to be gentle." He said quietly, waiting for her to understand his meaning as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with lust.

She wanted him and she wanted him now. She leaned up and kissed his lips, nodding her head as she brought him down with her, his body covering hers. She felt him probe her entrance and wrapped her legs around his waist. He came forward and kissed her neck as he slowly pressed himself inside of her, pausing whenever she tensed. She bit her lip as he pressed himself fully into her. It stung slightly, the sensation all too new for her, and she whimpered against him. But Kaiji didn't dare move, he held himself completely still until she reached forward and kissed his lips, silently giving him permission to move. His hips slowly began to move against hers, thrusting gently into her as she got used to the feeling. She'd never known such feelings were possible as he kissed her lips, his tongue gently mimicking his actions down below. She felt like he was a part of her now, joined in a way that she'd never known would make her feel so complete, like he was meant to be there all along.

She moaned into his mouth as he quickened his pace, that building tension she'd felt earlier beginning somewhere deep in her belly. Delirious with need and desire, she whimpered again. Her hands began clawing at his back, loving the feel of him inside of her. Kaiji groaned as he pressed his forehead against her, looking deep into her eyes as he continued to thrust.

"I love you." He whispered.

She felt herself getting so close to release that she could taste it, and she smiled up at him. "I love you too."

As she heard Kaiji hoarsely calling out her name, her muscles clenched around him, and she felt her body drifting off into another dimension, as the pleasure slammed into her body again. She cried out again and again as it became so intense that she thought that she would pass out, even more intense and wonderful than it had been earlier. Ami could see Kaiji through her hazy passion. His eyes open, looking at her as his own world collapsed around him. He crushed his lips against hers as they both rode out their climaxes, holding onto each other desperately. An unfamiliar throb came from below, and Ami slowly lifted her eyelids to look up at Kaiji. He panted as he remained above her, watching her as she slowly opened her eyes, pleasure still staining her eyes.

He smiled and collapsed on the bed next to her, both of them laughing as they lay there for a few moments. The sensations had just been so great, so powerful, that both of them didn't know what else to do but to laugh. Kaiji rolled over and grabbed her, pulling her into his embrace as their bodies gradually calmed down. She snuggled into his side and wrapped one arm around his waist as she felt one of his fingers gently rubbing her shoulder. Distantly she could hear as the storm outside raged on, ignorant of the events going on in their bedroom.

She looked up at him. "Well that was pretty damned awesome."

Kaiji laughed again. "Only you would say something like that at a time like this."

She shrugged. "Well, what else am I supposed to say? 'Hey man, thanks for taking my virginity. It was totally rad'?"

"You really are quite the romantic aren't you?" He teased as his finger continued to rub her shoulder. Lightning lit the room again, and she could see his smile.

"I certainly try. Or how about maybe, 'Hey this was fun, we should do it again sometime.' Would that be more appropriate?"

Kaiji rolled them over so that he was above her again, and Ami squeaked in surprise. His smile was wicked once again, and she felt his erection press insistently against her hip. "I can arrange the 'again' part." His lips captured hers again before she could protest, and he proved that they could in fact do it again.
