Demon Sign

Raksha pushed back against him and rolled out of his arms; catching him by suprise. A slight grunt was the only sound he made. She was crouched on the floor beside the bed when she threw her hair back out of her face to see him. She saw a flash of anger and suprise cross his features. And then, to her suprise, amusement.

Heero chuckled. It seemed that the cat was as capable of scratching as purring. And, by the look of her, she was just as affected by this attraction between them as he was. He lips were pink and swollen, there was a red tinge to her cheeks, and her hair was dishevelled. Although that could very well have been from sleep as from his fingers running through the silky strands. Those same fingers were itching to do the same thing again.

Raksha growled at him menacingly. The more he time he spent with her the more she seemed like a cat Heero marveled.

"Don't make me hurt you." She warned as he got up from the bed.

Heero smiled challangingly.

"What are you going to do, Kitten? Kill me?" He took a step towards her. Then another.

She tensed and Heero could almost see the fur on her back standing on end. He took another step. Which turned out to be a mistake. From her position crouched on the floor Raksha easly swept the feet out from under him. He landed on his back with a grunt. He hadn't expected that.

Raksha pounced and landed on top of him. His legs were pinned beneath her. She was holding both of his hands captive with one of her own. Her right arm was raised as if to strike. Her fingers were curled into claws. Her long nails ready to do serious damage. Her eyes were slitted just like a cats'. Suddenly, her eyes darted from his face to her hand ready to strike. She made a strangled sound like a cross between a whimper and a scream. She jumped off him and ran out of the room.

Heero stood up and rubbed his wrists where her nails had dug into them. His hand came away bloody. He definately hadn't expected that.
