The night was long for a certain princess. She was laid in a very large and comfortable bed, prepared just for her. Her eyes were opened, and looked outside through the window.

She saw a shooting star, and closed her eyes to make a wish. She thought that maybe, an angel could hear her plea.

And slowly, the sandman came to her room, spreading sleeping dusts.

...

' It's now or never! ' a blond-hair princess thought as she heard no footsteps, no sounds of a living soul.

She got up from her royal bed, putting a soft pillow under the silky blanket. Then she went to the balcony of her room.

Every night I go,
Every night I go sneaking out the door

' Where are you? ' she thought, looking around her.

She almost let out a shriek as she felt an arm wrapping her waist from behind, but a hand covered her mouth.

" It's me. " a voice whispered in her ear. The princess could felt the hot breathe on her cheek.

She blushed a little, smiling behind the hand on her mouth. Her surprised face turned into a loving expression. She turned back to face the person she recognized.

" Why do you always scare me like this? " the blond-hair princess said soflty.

" Because it's funnier to hold you this way. " the tall dark-hair girl replied quietly, and bent her head closer to her lovely victim.

The shorter girl let herself given this enjoyable gift. They kissed like it has been a long time they didn't see each other, while they just did the same three days ago.

After long minutes of battling tongues, they drew back from each other's lips. The blond-hair girl rested her head on her lover's chest, breathing in her scent.

I lie a little more,
Baby I'm helpless

" What did your parents say when you told them you're leaving for the mountains' camp? " the dark-hair girl asked, careful to lower her voice.

" Nothing. But I think...they know there's something between us... " the princess answered in a sad tone.

Feeling her girl was despondent, she thought of one way that would make her forget her worries. She lifted her in a bridal style way, surprising the lady.

" Ah! Emi-chan! What are you- "

" Shh...just breathe and look. "

The holding girl jumped from the balcony, spreading her black wings to fly.
They were floating in the middle of the night, high among shining stars.
The princess was breathetaken at the somptuous view. She believed she was swimming in the sky for few seconds.

There's something 'bout the night,
And the way it hides all the things I like

Her eyes were looking around, watching the gloomy full moon behind her, the millions stars in front of her. But what striked her the most, were those black feathers dancing all around her.

Little black butterflies,
Deep inside me

" Feeling better, princess? " Emiko smiled lovely at her defended.

" Oh yes...so much better. But I think there's one thing missing to make me totally happy right now. " the dark-hair girl looked at her with surprise.

' How could this cannot be pretty enough for you? ' she thought.

" Then, what's miss- " she was silent by a soft kiss.

Emiko landed on a hill, not breaking the sweet gift she was offered. She sized Megumi's waist to lead her as she walked slowly, step by step, towards a tree.

What would my mama do?
If she knew about me and you?

The dark-hair girl slowly pushed her princess against the trunk of the tree, and let her hands reaching her lover's ones to intertwine them. Her black wings were enveloping them.

Emiko smiled between the passionate kisses. The way she was kissed meant one thing.

" I want you...now... " the blond-hair princess whispered through their mouths.

And the taller girl wasted no time to wait. She let go of her hands to size her by her waist, and raised her upward so she was against her own waist.

" I missed you so much... " the princess whispered in her lover's mouth, wrapping her legs around her in order to get closer to her body.

" I love you. " Emiko answered back in the middle of their busy tongues.

She then drew back from the kiss to drop some on her neck, where she started to suck her sweet skin.
Megumi moaned a little, running her fingers through the dark-hair. She suddenly moaned louder, and gasped when she felt a hand slipping under her panties.

What would my daddy say?
If he saw me hurt this way?

Through the window of a dark room, the moonlight enlightened a part of a bed where a hand clenched the blanket. It was an asleep dark-hair girl's one, who seemed to dream.

" Megumi... " she mumbled in her sleep.

...

" Megumi, who are you going with to the mountains' camp? " a authoritarian voice spoke.

The princess washed her face with a tissu before replying.

" It would be Emiko-san. The bodyguard has to follow her defended wherever she goes, that's her job. We didn't hire her to protect the kingdom, there are enough guards For this. " a male voice answered before Megumi could.

" So it is Aki-san..." the mother stared at her daughter who looked away quickly on her plate.

Why should I feel ashamed,
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name?

...

Back at the hill, the princess was sitting between her lover's legs, her back laid against her chest. She raised her head to watch the brigthening sky.

" You know...your eyes are just like this sky. It is so beautiful to look at, yet, so deep far away to reach... " the blond-hair girl said soflty.

Leant against the trunk on which she just made love with the girl she's hugging, Emiko kissed her on her neck.

" But you can touch me. And I'll fly you up there whenever you want, so you can be closer to the sky. " she whispered in her ear, kissing her lobe.

Megumi laughed a bit from the tickling kiss.

" Like an angel? "

" Your. I will always be yours. "

Here we are again,
It's nearly perfect

The blond-hair princess felt a sudden pain in her chest. She turned back to sit on her knees, facing her lover. She put her hands on her shoulders so she could lean her face better to kiss her angel's lips.

" Don't ever leave me..." she said after kissing, a tear rolling down her cheek.

The bodyguard wrapped her arms around her back to hug her closer.

" I'll never dare to. " she spoke the words against the blond-hair.

...

" I'm marrying Megumi with the prince of Mist country. Therefore, you are not needed anymore. " the queen of Cloud's kingdom smiled at her daughter's bodyguard.

Emiko's eyes widened. This announcement sounded like a powerful thunder. She clenched her fists hard, trying to control her anger.
Blood was leaking from her hands because of her nails strongly clenched in her skin.

" So...you know about us... " she said coldly. She didn't know if she could hold back any longer.

All the things a girl should know
Are the things she can't control

" Who do you think I am? I know what kind of demon you are. Apparently, there's still a survivor. You're lucky we didn't know earlier, or else you would be already dead. "

Emiko stopped shaking, stopped breathing. Her body froze entirely after what she heard.

The queen smirked at how powerful her words could be. She walked away from her throne to look at the window and turned back to glance at the girl below the stairs.

All the things a girl should know
She can't control

" Megumi will now understand that being with a demon leads only to death. You filthfy demon should know better that humans will never accept you. Let me recall you that one child in your clan had suffered from this blending. And to make it clearer, this child's father was one of our people...that we executed in front of the crowd! "

Emiko looked back at her with astonished eyes.

' Setsuna's father... ' she though in disbelief.

" So they'd all know what awaits one, if the line is crossed. And about Megumi, I don't care if she's my daughter, she crossed the line and if she refuses to marry another, we will kill her rather than letting her with you. " the queen said, impassible.

What would my mama do?
If she knew about me and you?

The demon before her looked into her eyes. The queen stepped back with fear.
Emiko was seeing blood everywhere, mostly, on the queen's chest.
In a second she appeared in front of her. Anger took over the control in her mind.

In one thrust, she pierced the queen's chest with her hand, watching the blood spurt in front of her red eyes.

" This is for Setsuna's father...and her girl, is still alive. " the queen was going into shock.

' What's happening to me? '

Emiko then moved her hand inside the queen's chest on the right, slicing her to her heart.

" And this... " she sized her weak beating heart in her sharped hand.

" Is for Megumi...and all the pain she suffered from you, causing her to break down. "

' Stop... '

And she grinded the heart slowly, enjoying the woman's painful cries.

" Aaahhrrrrg ! "
...

" Stop! "

The dark-hair girl opened her eyes in her bed.

" What's wrong Emiko? " Setsuna got off from the bed above, awaked by the shouting.

" Hey, you're sweating a lot. Did you have an nightmare? " the swordwoman asked in concern.

Emiko stood on her bed, looking at her left hand.
There was no blood.

" Setsuna, how's my eyes? " her friend looked into it, and smiled.

" They're blue. "

Emiko sighed in relieved, and got up from her bed. She patted Setsuna's head.

" Go back to sleep, I'm fine. " and she walked to the kitchen to drink water.

Setsuna watched her walking, frowning with worries.
