Chapter 20
I ended up running down to play with Rin, Shiemi, Renzou and Koneko in the water. We were playing toss with a ball when Ryuji came down carrying Izumo in an inner tube and then tossed her into the water. 'Damn you are super strong gorilla!' Izumo cried out after she caught her breath, we all ended up laughing. The game continued on until I jumped onto Ryuji's back which knocked us both into the water. 'What was that for?' Ryuji yelled as he held me in front of him. 'Just this!' I replied as I placed a kiss on his cheek, which made him blush and everyone else laugh. Not long after the water started to turn dark and we ran to shore. Everyone grabbed some flamethrowers as I summoned my sword. 'It's here, it may be big but after your fight with the Impure King it should be a small fry for you guys!' Shura yelled through a speaker. 'Middle Second Class Exorcists and Exwires get your flamethrowers ready. Do not get into the water till they get close.' Shura added, a really huge ugly squid appeared but quickly evaded into the water. It used one of its tentacles to attack the helicopter in the air. 'Don't enter the water while the Kraken is submerged. If it unleashes its maelstrom then you will be sleeping with the fishes!' Shura yelled out as I turned to find Rin who was charging into the water. 'Rin you idiot!' I cried out as I chased after him. I was stopped when Ryuji picked me up from behind and carried me the other way. 'What are you doing put me down!' I cried out as Ryuji slowly let me down. 'I am not letting you go off with him again! Last time you were almost killed!' Ryuji cried out, 'that is our job, don't forget you were more pissed at me last time then worried!' I replied as Ryuji's face turned to shock then anger. 'I was worried… I just was confused, but now I will protect you no matter what!' Ryuji shouted as I just smiled. 'Thank you but I have to protect my friends as well!' I stated as I turned to look back to see that Rin, Yukio and Shiemi were gone.
We ended up taking a break and having dinner as Izumo, the Kyoto boys and I sat on the stairs. Renzou handed us our bentos as he grinned, 'so the Okumura brothers and Moriyama are together on an abandoned island.' 'Shima is quite relaxed,' Koneko stated as Ryuji just continued to eat his food. 'Haha Bon's mad he must be thinking, "That guy is doing whatever he wants again."' Renzou laughed as I couldn't help but laugh back, 'no I'm pissed right now but not about that. I'm also surprised that I'm impressed.' Ryuji blushed, 'Eh?' Renzou cried out, 'Bon I understand how you feel.' Koneko added, 'really Koneko too?' 'Well Rin is the kind of person who won't ever hide, since his life is on the line with the Vatican, nothing scares him.' I replied, 'yeah besides what pissed me off most is that guy!' Ryuji yelled as he turned to glare at Takara. 'How come Takara isn't wearing a swim suit?' Renzou questioned. 'He said his stomach hurts,' Koneko replied, 'that's the kind of excuse a girl would use!' Renzou added, 'don't make it sound like all girls are like that!' I shot back. Just then we heard a scream, it sounded a lot like Shiemi. 'The Kraken… It's finally appeared!' Shura stated as she continued to shove her food down. 'Wasn't that Moriyama's scream?' Renzou questioned, 'what the hell is she doing?' Izumo cried out, 'all hands get ready to battle!' Shura yelled out as everyone gathered.
The battle went by pretty fast; one minute we were there using flamethrowers on a group of mini Kraken and the next it was all over. Rin and the others had returned and I was relieved they weren't hurt. It just hit me that it was morning, I ran up to Ryuji who looked down at me and smiled. I smiled back as I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head against his chest as I heard his heart race increase. 'Hey Mira people are watching…' Ryuji stated, as I'm sure his face was bright red. 'I don't care after all you look really hot right now, shirtless and all sweaty.' I grinned as I lifted my head up to look at him; he was blushing like mad as I ran my fingers through his hair. 'Hey Mira maybe now isn't the best time to get Bon all hot and heavy,' Renzou laughed as he and Koneko walked up to us. 'Awe but I wanted to give Ryuji an early birthday present!' I smiled back, 'right Bon your birthday is tomorrow!' Koneko replied, 'oh right I forgot…' Ryuji replied as he pulled apart from me, 'how did you forget you said we would do something together…' I sulked as Ryuji's face showed he just remembered. 'Oh right, well I guess we are heading back today then,' Ryuji added. 'I'll be right back!' I winked as I ran to go find Shura. I ended up getting her to agree after contacting Mephisto, after all I was still angry with Mephy so he couldn't say no to me. I had one of the keys he gave me before to his lake house at Lake Motosu. I think a nice relaxing weekend before we head back to school would be nice, I hope Ryuji thinks so as well.
As everyone was heading for the bus back to True Cross Academy I ran up to Ryuji and pulled him to the side. 'What's wrong Mira?' He asked as I just smiled, 'I will see you guys later!' I waved to the group as I pulled Ryuji along with me, 'hey wait a second Mira where are we going?' Ryuji yelled out as I continued to drag him to the first door I could find. 'Mira what are you doing?' Ryuji demanded as he pulled away, 'happy birthday Ryuji!' I grinned as I pulled out the key and opened the door. I pulled him in as we arrived inside a cute little cabin. 'Where are we?' He questioned, 'we are at Lake Motosu.' I replied as Ryuji's eyes widened, 'I wanted to do something for you for your birthday but this is all I could think of.' I replied as Ryuji smiled back as he pulled me into his arms. 'Thank you Mira…' He replied as I held him close. 'So why don't we go look around?' I questioned, 'yeah, haven't you been here before?' Ryuji asked, 'no never I just borrowed a key to Mephisto's lake house. I thought it would be nice to spend the next few days here,' I replied as Ryuji smiled back. 'I see, well I would love to see the view.' He replied as he held his hand out as I reached mine towards his. The two of us walked outside and froze in amazement at the stunning view of Mt. Fuji. 'I can't believe how close we are,' Ryuji stated as I pulled out a package from my purse. 'Here,' I smiled as Ryuji took the small package from my hand. 'I know it's kinda silly but I wanted you to have this.' I replied as Ryuji opened it and then looked up at me with a small smile. 'I know they don't really work but I want you to be happy more then anything, now that things with your father are better I really hope from here on out that you will smile more then you will frown.' I smiled as Ryuji blushed and held on tightly to the little charm with the kanji for happiness written on it. 'You really are odd…' Ryuji replied as I blushed a little, 'sorry…' I stated as I felt Ryuji's strong arms wrap around me. 'If you want me to be happy then always stay by my side…' Ryuji replied as I felt him tremble as I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck as my forehead touched against his as I gazed into his eyes. 'Yeah, always…' I replied as Ryuji's hand slid to the side of my head brushing my hair behind my ear as I felt his warm breath inching closer to my mouth as he brushed his soft lips against my own. His other hand slid to the small of my back as our kiss became more passionate. I felt Ryuji's tongue slide across my bottom lip as I opened my mouth enough to let him in yet enough to resist a little. We stumbled back through the door as we fell on the bed, Ryuji pulled back to look me in the eyes. His were filled with passion and desire and I could tell right away how aroused he had become.
'Sorry… I didn't mean to get too carried away,' Ryuji blushed as he pulled off of me and sat on the edge of the bed. 'You weren't going anywhere I wasn't prepared for you know,' I blushed as Ryuji turned back to face me with a bright red face. 'I just want to treasure you, someday I want it to feel so right that I just know it…' Ryuji stated as he covered his face knowing how red it must have been. 'I will wait till then, but promise me that when you do decide the time is right you will go through with it and not worry about the pain I will feel.' I replied, 'of course I will worry, I don't want to hurt you!' Ryuji cried out as I slid next to him and reached out for his hand as I pulled it to rest on the side of my face. 'It will hurt but it will also feel so amazing that it won't matter, becoming one with the person I love is something I want to feel no matter what.' I stated as I looked up into Ryuji's warm eyes as I could feel the heat coming off of him. He really has no idea how cute he can be when he is embarrassed. 'Yeah…' he mumbled out as I placed a kiss on the side of his neck. 'However in the meantime let's deal with your problem okay?' I winked as I brushed my hand over the bulge in his pants. 'Mi… Mira?' Ryuji cried out as he brought his hand up to his face again as he used his other hand to pull his shirt over his erection. 'It's okay, let me take care of it,' I smiled back as Ryuji nodded reluctantly.
