Akuma: I have come down with the worst of worst colds, along with my mailbox not working for a few weeks. So I haven't been able to reach any of your emails, comments, and other stuff. and I have finally been able to get into it. I am also part of a musical to make my time more limited. Oh, and I was listening to one of my cds, wonderng what what I am going to do with the ending since I did not have a song or an original or good plan for it, and figured I was going to go with plan A, when I came across a song I heard...like...ten thousand times before and this whole story plot came into my head. IT'S WAY DIFFERENT, YES! don't worry, it didn't mess with anything I already wrote so that won't be a problem. I finally figured out what I was going to do with Misuteru. YAY. and it shall be reviealed in this chapter...sorta. Also, this song was suggested by Ferdinandstrat, "Touch too much" by AC/DC.

Chapter 12: Touch Too Much


Misuteru looked down at Arashi, hardly believeing that the woman he was seeking for was finally in his arms.

"Misuteru-kun?" Arashi looked at him strangely, "How do you know my name?"

"Well...I...well." he shrugged, "I just...saw you and thought you were beautiful." he blushed, "I ran across you cousin and..."

"You...think I'm beautiful?" Arashi lifted an eyebrow, "Are you a stalker?"

"NO, no no...I am..uh.." he studdered as he looked deep into her indigo eyes.

The hanyou noticed that his accent was kinda strange, he spoke well enough for any Japanese citizen to understand him, but the accent he spoke with meant that he grew on another country. "What country are you from? You sound Celt...but you look Japanese." she noticed she was in his arms and tore out of them and stared at him as she sat across from him.

Misuteru smirked, "Ah...I see you are one of the few who know of the Celt on this island." he crossed his legs, "My mother, a wolf youkai, traveled the seas from Japan. And crashed apon the shores of Ireland. She was a geisha for youkais escaping from her torture, and found a ship that the captain allowed on. As she lived in Ireland, she met my father, a raven youkai. She learnt their language from him, luckly he knew how to speak Japanese so it wasn't that hard."

"So..your a Wolf-Raven Youkai...who...is half Celt, half Japanese?" Arashi asked.

He nodded, "I lived on Ireland with my mother and father." his voice became low, "But Ireland doesn't take to fondly with youkais...and my father and mother were killed when i was 8. I remember the tales my mother told me of Japan, how all the demons weren't comeing to to an end like on Ireland. And how some youkais even meddled with humans. So I boarded a ship and came here." His voice rose again, "Over the years, I was banished by many youkai tribes for being from a different country...and being a wolf-raven. I decided Japan was not that great so I have been building a ship to get me across seas." He saw that she was not making a comment anywhere in his story. "Sorry...you must be really bored of this. After all you are a youkai...a wolf youkai I'm guessing."

She gasped, "That..you got wrong..." she looked towards the ground painfully, "I'm a wolfdog hanyou...the worst of the worst. Hanyous are banished, wolfdogs are banished, so...I became both."

"YOu're a hanyou" his eyes sparkled, "I've always wanted to meet one."

Arashi stood up and walked off, "You seem very intrested easily, buster. I am intested with Ireland with my recent teachings and all, but you are too nosy for my taste."

He quickly stood up and ran after her, "Excuse me, but what were you doing on the night of the full moon?" he asked.

She paused and glared angerly at him with fire in her indigo eyes, "SEE, YOU ARE TOO NOSEY. She growled, "I haven't fully understood Irish manners, but with those questions are going to make you get into serious trouble here." she kept on stomping off.

He ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder, "I'm sorry..." he sighed.

She groaned, "You said you were building a ship..." she glanced at him, "Can I see it?"

Misuteru blinked, "Sure..."


Houshou looked toward the ground in sadness as he walked by Chiyo, he continuelly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Her head up in the sky, a sparkle in her eye and a smile played across her face that showed she was in the best of moods. To make it even worse for Houshou, her black hair was shinning off the sun and the wind was blowing her hair so gracefully. It seemed like somone up there wanted to torture poor Houshou so close to mating season.

"What was it that you wanted to talk to me, Houshou?" Chiyo smiled towards him. "You haven't spoke once ever since by the river."

The wolfdog was more hypnotized by her smile, "Well..." he finally whisped out, "I came out here...to tell you." he gulped, then looked into her eyes, "I wanted to tell you...that..."

"Chiyo-chan" a male voice shouted from ahead of them. THey saw a wolf male running toward him, a spring in his step and a idiotic smile played across his face as he had his hand raised.

Chiyo gave a small smile and growled silently. "Hello..." she said, trying to be more friendly than she wanted to be. While Houshou growled.

The wolf male stopped in front of her and smiled, "Chiyo, I have came to ask you to be my mate for the Mating Season" he blurted out.

Both Chiyo and Houshou were surprised by his outburst and bravery. Houshou wished he had that kind of courage. He sighed, this male was handsome, brave, and probably a great mate for Chiyo. Everything he wasn't.

"No..." Chiyo smiled. "I do not accept your offer."

Every male in this scene looked towards Chiyo in amazement, the one that was unknown still rolled his eyes, "I swear, Chiyo. You will not find a better mate. And you just blew your chance" he scoffed and ran off.

"I'll find one" she had a sparkle in her eye and turned to Houshou, "So...what was it that you wanted to tell me?"

Houshou and Chiyo continued their walk, as Houshou tried to cough up the words, This might be harder than i thought...


Misuteru led her though dense forest, "It's almost near."

The wolfdog growled, "You said that an hour ago." she snapped, "Are you sure you aren't lost."

"No..." he stopped and turned to her, "I swear it's right around that tree." he pointed a tree in front of them.

Arashi looked at the ground, and saw their past footprints go around that tree, "Misuteru..." she sighed, "That is the same tree that we turned around an hour ago..." she growled.

The wolf raven saw the signs that Arashi was seeing, and knew they were going in circles, "OH MY GOSH, WE ARE GOING IN CIRCLES." he shouted, running around Arashi.

Arashi saw something intresting not to far off and pointed, "Is that it?"

"What if we are lost for life? What if we die? What if we don't find civilization again?" he gasped, "What if we RUN OUT OF FOOD!"

The hanyou rolled her eyes, "First off...we are youkais..." she quickly added in a whisper, "and a hanyou" then returned to her normal scold, "We should be able to find food in a forest setting. And second," she pointed in agrivation at what she saw, "THERE IS THE OCEAN. WE HAVE BEEN PASSING BY IT FOR AN HOUR!"

Misuteru glanced at where her finger was pointing, and gave a nervous laugh, "Well...so we have." he walked towards it. "Ah, there it is" he smiled as he pushed away some bush and onto the sand.

The wolfdog's indigo eyes adapted quickly from the darkness in the forest, to the sun glimmering off the waves of the water. And there, on the mud that the tide had made out of the sand, and tied securly to a tree, was a huge ship. Wooden hull and coth sails tied up. "It's...amazing."

Misuteru slightly blushed, "It's not that amazing." he stepped up to it and patted it's sturdy hull, "I stil need to build a rudder and a steering wheel. And a recent storm did some damage to the bow." he pointed towards a hole. "And...a name. Tradition is that if your ship doesn't have a name, you will have bad luck on the seas."

"keh," she patted it's hull as well, "I'm not that creative to give you a name at the moment. Maybe later." she rolled her eyes. She then walked into the sea, to look around it.

He smirked, it was too boring. But Arashi with him was making it even worse for him to control himself, she was beauttifully fit with the scenery. He felt his heart beat faster. He tried to shake away the feeling by decideing to have a little play fighting. So he slowly came up from behind her and pushed her into the water. "Ha ha.."

Arashi fell into the satly water, it completely covering her up as Misuteru stared down blankly at where she fell. Noticing she wasn't coming up.

"OH my god, i'm so sorry' he leaned down, when Arashi jumped out of the water and pinned him into the mud below the water.

"Stupid Wolf raven" she smirked and laughed playfully.

He fipped over so he was on top of her, pinning her down, "You mis-judge my tricks, Arashi-chan" Misuteru noticed that the water had made the yukata she was wearing cling to her skin, and it made it even harder for him to control himself.

She laughed, "And you mis-judge mine." she was about to flip him over, when Misuteru's control of himself didn't hold him back as he forced his lips to touch hers.

It was one of those nights
When you turn out the lights
And everything comes into view
She was taking her time
I was losing my mind
There was nothing that she wouldn't do
It wasn't the first
It wasn't the last
She knew we was making love
I was so satisfied
Deep down inside
Like a hand in a velvet glove

Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Too much for my body, too much for my brain
This kind of woman's gonna drive me insane
She's got a touch, a touch too much

Ow
She had the face of an angel
Smiling with sin
The body of Venus with arms
Dealing with danger
Stroking my skin
Like a thunder and lightnin' storm
It wasn't the first
It wasn't the last
It wasn't that she didn't care
She wanted it hard
And wanted it fast
She liked it done medium rare

Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Too much for my body, too much for my brain
This damn woman's gonna drive me insane
She's got a touch, a touch too much
Touch me
Ow

Seems like a touch, (touch too much)
You know it's much too much, (much too much)
I really want to feel you (touch too much)
Girl you know you're getting me (much too much)
Seems like a touch
Just a dirty little touch
I really need your touch
Cause you're much too much too much too much

Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Seems like a touch, a touch too much
Givin' me a touch, a touch too much
Baby got a touch, a touch too much
Seems like a touch, a touch too much
A touch too much
A touch too much
A touch too much

Touch, c'mon touch me
Yahhhh

Arashi's eyes grew, she was paralized for a few minutes. She didn't want Misuteru to stop, and wanted to go deeper. She was about to wrap her arms around him and kiss him back, when she realized what she was doing and pushed him off forcefully and slapped him hard across the cheek, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU LECH?" she lifted her lip to show her fangs that warned him to stay back.

Misuteru stood his ground, but kept back. "I'm sorry...Arashi-chan." he gulped.

Arashi kehed and wringed out her hair, "Just...don't try it again." she shook her head to free her hair after she wrung it, "Come...you can stay with us tonight." she stood up and walked away. What in hell am I doing? I know I should run off or attack him... She turned to see that Misuteru was following orders, and she turned back, But what was that feeling that I had...when he kissed me? and why is it still making me want to kiss him...


Houshou wasn't going to take it any more, it agrivated him. Not only was he trying to tell the woman he loved that he loved her...but there were males almost every step they took asking Chiyo to take him as a mate for her. Chiyo refused everyone of them, and clung to Houshou's side. Worried she might be seperated from him.

"You mean you are choosing a WOLFDOG over US?" One male asked all of a sudden.

Houshou's anger made his body fill with false heat. "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BAS-"

The wolf female quickly noticed the irate feeling in Houshou and shouted, "YES, he is way sweeter than all of you guys will ever be."

Houshou looked down at her, "Chiyo..." he whispered.

"Houshou is the only guy I ever want to be with and that's final!" she humphed and wrapped her arms around his arm and clung to him closer. She then stuck her tounge out at the other males.

The wolfdog didn't know if she was telling the truth, or she was just trying to get the males away from her. He stood up proud, going along with it as the males grumbled and limped away in utter defeat.

Then once the males were from earshot, Houshou and Chiyo started laughing, "What idiots..." she wisped.

Houshou nodded, then looked at her, "What were all those words you said back there? That was pretty good acting..."

He thought I was acting, Chiyo sighed, I thought he might have thought I was telling the truth. She sighed and nodded, "Those were all truths, except for the part that said we were allready together."

"When did you say that?"

"Dunno, somewhere in there I said we were together..."

Houshou kehed, then looked towards the ground. "Chiyo...there is something I was trying to tell you all day...but..." he bit his lower lip and held onto her hands, "I feel like I need to tell it now..."

Chiyo's heart beat faster, these kinds of things always either led to sometihng really good, or something really bad. "Go on..." she whispered.

He sighed, "I'll tell you when we get away from others..." he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her away from the trail and into the woods.

A youkai male stood in the trees, a raven on his forearm, "It is time, isn't it? he smirked towards the raven.

The raven rolled his eyes and bit onto his nose and flew away before the youkai could do anything about it.

"Stupid bird." he rubbed his nose.
