What Is This Feeling?

by Anime no Akuma

He hadn't thought things through, that much was obvious. He had gone out to grab some dinner, and he ended up coming back with a human pet. /-/ She heaved out a sigh. "You ate the children, didn't you?" He simply licked his fingers, getting rid of whatever blood was left. "I felt up for a snack."

29. Love

"I'm turning twenty tomorrow, Doma."

"I know."

"Thank you. For everything." She smiled at him, their fingers intertwining. "I had a wonderful time." There was a pause. "Tell me, has my beauty reached your expectations?"

"Sakura…" He gazed upon her, his eyes sparkling as his free hand stroke her cheek. "Your beauty has fully blossomed at last… and you're even more beautiful than I expected…" He placed his forehead against hers, smiling lightly. "What is this feeling?"

"It is…" She placed a chaste kiss on his lips, then pulled away. "Love."

"Love…?" His smile widened, his rainbow eyes practically shining with awe. "I see. I see! So, this is love…" He could feel himself growing warmer, seeking more of her touch as he pressed his lips against her palm. "And this…?"

"Passion," she answered, her voice now no more than a whisper. "Passion and desire."

"Sakura…" he called out, his breath now ghosting over her lips. "Be mine…!"

She simply smiled again as he pulled her closer, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm all yours, Doma."
