Just a warning: I am losing a bit of interest in this story because of rare stories with Jack and me not owning the movie. Just saying…I would like some ideas!

Their kiss turned hot and heated despite the cold area they stood in. Snow fell on them, covering them for just a moment. However, Natsuko slammed him into a tree and sucked on his tongue, hearing him groan in surprise at both actions. A smug smile came across her face.

His pale blue hands found their way to her hips, holding her close and grinding her against him. Her dark tan skinned turned slightly pink with a blush, their lips never pulling away. Her hands reached up and entangled themselves into his hair.

Jack's hair wasn't cold or hard like ice as it first appeared to be. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was soft and silky like, spiked with some sort of substance that had no affect on the feeling. In fact, whatever was holding it up seemed to keep it soft.

When they finally pulled away for air, which felt like pure ice compared to their hot French kiss moments ago, a smile played on both their lips. His hands were resting on her dress that felt like silk instead of cotton. Did she even need clothing to keep herself warm in this cold atmosphere? After all, she was the summer spirit, capable of melting this place down in a heartbeat. That was an interesting thought…what would she look like without clothing?

That was when he remembered how this little moment in this situation came to be. Hadn't this all started because they fought about each other's fashion- or lack of it? "Your dress looks too tight for you."

At the way Jack's voice sounded, all husky with need and want, she threw her head back and laughed. She remembered too the conversation they had before this all started. A smile graced her lips, "Your suit looks tired out and old." She leaned forward to whisper in his ear. Her hot breath made the man shiver slightly as she spoke, "Why don't we take it off?"

Two Months Later

Natsuko struggled to walk down to the Toy Shop. Her head felt light, her vision slightly blurry. Her stomach had been upset, just like it had for the past week, and she felt drained beyond belief. She hated having to force herself to eat right after throwing up so no one would worry about her.

How would she get sick though? She was not a human, not completely at least. She was the spirit of summer, the one who controlled the hot temperature and soft winds! Something serious must have been wrong with her for she had never been sick before.

"Natsuko, are you even listening?" Somehow she had managed to find her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. It would appear, she thought bitterly, that her body worked without her mind focusing.

"Oh good morning Bernard. I'm sorry, I just…I'm just thinking about stuff. What did you say?" Natsuko smiled weakly, picking up a cup of hot tea. She grabbed a small plate of two cut pieces of dry toast. That was probably all she could stomach but if anyone asked, she could easily say she wasn't that hungry…or she was watching her weight.

Speaking of, she seemed to be gaining a few pounds lately. That was completely odd since she had been throwing up every morning. Shaking her head, she forced herself to listen to Bernard.

"I asked, have you seen Jack?"

"Not lately, why?" She nibbled on the piece of toast, her eyebrows raised. "Is he in some sort of trouble?"

Lately she hadn't seen or talked to Jack because he was always walking around, busy. Sometimes he spoke to Santa, sometimes he helped the Elves or sometimes he…well, she didn't know. Probably was somewhere helping it snow or frost over.

Ever since that night two months ago, they had been together in secrecy. It was hard since they couldn't display any affection in public, but somehow they managed. They were quiet near each other in public but loud in…well, you know.

"He's in no trouble. I just need to tell him there will be a Council meeting next week." Bernard stated calmly.

Natsuko dropped her cup of tea.
