Her catnap had last longer than expected. She awoke, as the constant buzzing of her phone interrupted her consciousness. With blurry slits for eyes, she witnessed her actions. She slapped her phone and the buzzing stopped. She grinned a satisfied smile and went back to sleep. The only problem was that it wasn't the phone nor was it the alarm. It was the pager that Samantha had given her and the others to let them know when it was safe to come out.
Hours later she rolled out the really comfortable queen size bed, letting the oh so warm blankets fall to the floor. She reached over grabbed the blinking pager and sighed. She yawned, stood up and stretched, scratched her naked butt, and walked to the bedroom door, opened it, and stepped out into the sun lit apartment. It still smelled of smoke and something more familiar but despite that, she looked out the large windows. The storm was over. The smothering dark skies were slowly breaking up and calm blue skies and sunshine made their way across the city.
It was the smell of coffee and her nose guided her to the realization of where she was. A high rise in the middle of Sakura City.
She worried first, thinning her eyes searching the room. But no one was there. The last thing she wanted right now was to be caught naked and not so defenseless. Damn vampire better not be…oh…the coffee maker timer had been set. A few hours old but oh well…coffee is coffee after all.
She filled a cup, held it near her mouth, close to her nose and rejoiced. Taking a drink feeling its familiar warmth spreading throughout her body. Nice….her shoulders sank, breathing it in.
Time for a shower…
The bathroom was extraordinary. Clean modern designed. Something she enjoyed. A large well lite mirror and long vanity. Choices of shampoo and conditioner side by side. And behind another sliding door more than little room for the toilet and privacy. A wall of clear glass separated the bathroom. With five large shower heads, two on opposite white marble walls and a fifth on the far wall. A computer monitors eye level at each of the showers. Water temperature, pressure and even the spread of the water could be adjusted to one's choice.
She didn't care, grabbed the shampoo and conditioner, and walked in, chose the large shower head by itself and turned it on, made a few adjustments and she faded as steam rose like a fog.
After lathering and rinsing, she took a little me time and put her hands against the wall, letting the hot water pulse against her body, staring at it falling to the floor, slip past her feet. A deep breath filled her lungs with warm wet air, and she wondered.
Why did she sleep so long? She heard what she thought was the alarm and as always she turned it off. And usually she would roll over a few minutes later and get out of bed. She only had two glasses of really good wine. Her conversation with Honoka without the worries. Kuroko figured she knew and need to focus on the mission, so it was general information only. Even so…the missing children were still on her mind. Maybe the warm fire, the large soft comfortable bed set her mind at ease. Or was it something else. a breed was in the city, and every vampire and wolf was looking for it. Perhaps just perhaps the fact she was probably in the safest part of the city. Under the protection of the damn vampire, maybe it took some pressure off. Maybe it was because she knew that after getting Uiharu. She would be seeing her…perhaps she would have to fight against her old…..
Deep in thought? She asked.
Kuroko's eyes opened wide, taking a deep breath, when did you? She growled,
A few minutes ago,…Samantha laughed.
I can't believe you…..no wait, I can…
You could've locked the door…she answered coyly. And don't worry…she let out an exhale. I'm dirty so I'm just taking a shower…. nothing pervy…nothing like I'm sure you've done in your past, present and future…she giggled.
Put your hand on my hips or ass, I will….a chill rushed over her, she felt a small pressure on her lower back. Samantha! She turned around and glared. I said….
Her long blond hair was filled with shampoo, her left hand scrubbing away, dark dirty water rolled over her small perfect body. You said hand…she said with a mischievous smile, these is my finger…hmmm…holding her two fingers together, she said with a pop in her step. She laughed as she turned around and went back underneath the shower. I could step underneath yours if you want. She blew a kiss, raising her chin, winked and closed her eyes and let the water splash across her face and hair as it rinsed.
You seemed to be a million miles away….rolling her head, something important on your mind. Turning around, leaning her head back, That is why I didn't do anything. I mean I was covered head to toe in it..
Did you get him…
Who? Oh yea….the breed… she peeked over, grabbing a handful of hair and squeezed, we did..
Kuroko buried her head underneath the shower and turned up the pressure. She didn't hear the last part. Samantha licked her lips, as dirty deep red flowed over them.
And a bonus…
She squeezed her hair and looked over to Kuroko. she admired her naked form, watching the water slip over and around her well designed curves. You are beautiful…oh demon of academy city.
Kuroko relaxed, ran her fingers through her red hair and squeezed the water out.
Want me to towel dry you…I can do it very very slow…if you like
Kuroko peeked over her shoulder, her eyes thin as blades and glared, letting her hands drop to her side as if she were ready to grab her no existent spikes.
A chill rushed over the little vampire, along with a heat of want. Let her wet hair tumble to her waist. She pulled her lip into her mouth, a hint of blood peeked. She nodded I could, really I could.
Damn vampire…she groaned.
