When Ayn reached Chichiri's bedroom she turned to face him and said "I don't want to leave you yet, it's not fair!"
"And yet you must," replied Chichiri, "you're affecting the balance of this world by affecting my heart. I can't fully give myself to Suzaku no Miko if you're not her."
At Chichiri's speech Ayn's heart beat faster and all doubts vanished. She looked into his eyes and removed his mask. Chichiri stood fast and yet trembled slightly. Ayn traced the line of his scar from his eye down to his mouth and smiled. Chichiri grabbed her hand and kissed her palm.
"My lady," he said, "you hold my heart completely. I love you."
Ayn's eyes watered slightly and she had to blink fast to keep Chichiri in her sight. "I love you Chichiri." she whispered softly. "I've waited so long to tell ..."
Chichiri interrupted Ayn with a kiss and than another and soon they were lost in each other's kisses. They stepped towards the bed and as Chichiri leaned Ayn back his eyes were full of questions. In answer, Ayn smiled and slightly pulled Chichiri so he was lying full on top of her and they kissed some more. Chichiri's body was as warm as when they lay under the stars hiding from the assassins in the forest.
Ayn removed the remainder of Chichiri's clothing and fully admired the body she had only stolen glances of in the hotel earlier. Chichiri smiled at Ayn's obvious appreciation and spent kisses on her neck to the edge of her shirt. He struggled somewhat awkwardly with her shirt and so Ayn removed the remainder of her clothing while Chichiri watched. When she was finished she lay in bed and pulled the blanket up so that it covered her entire body.
Chichiri slowly pulled the blanket down across Ayn dropping kisses on each part as it was revealed. "You are beautiful. You don't need to hide from me." he breathed into her neck. He kissed each of her breasts in turn and slowly ran his hands over her body. Ayn moaned and moved him so that he was directly on top of her, she could feel him lightly pressing against her opening and she wanted to show him how much she loved him.
Chichiri entered Ayn and the two moved to a slow rhythm until their cries echoed through the chamber. Through the night as each pleasured the other, time and time again, their own pleasure was redoubled in return.
Arysa and Nuriko shared many things; one of them was a certain air of silliness. As soon as Arysa had realized where they were heading she had said "On the mark, get set, go!" and ran off as fast as she could. Nuriko had laughed; the two reached his bed at the same time and stopped dead in their tracks.
Nuriko winked, moved to close the door than stood in front of Arysa. His expression changed and than he awkwardly explained "You know who I am and that I acted as a woman for most of my adult life."
Arysa winked and slowly removed her dress and let it fall to the floor. Nuriko sucked in his breath hard. Arysa was suddenly very glad she was wearing that new pink lace Victoria Secret set!
"You don't seem to be a woman tonight." Arysa stated slyly noticing Nuriko's excited reaction to her body. "Don't worry, obviously there is a part of you reacting like a man. Go with it!" she giggling said as her hand reached out to Nuriko's crotch and gave him a playful squeeze. Nuriko moaned and pushed away her hand. Arysa's pout, which she was about to put on, was cancelled by Nuriko's kiss.
Nuriko kissed Arysa deeply and thoroughly explored her mouth. Arysa's knees went weak and she sank on to the bed pulling Nuriko with her. The two rolled around in bed each teasing the clothes off the other until they were both nude. Arysa was pleasantly surprised by the obvious strength in Nuriko's chest and arms, she had thought that his power was solely the blessing of Suzaku, now she realized that he was strong in character and in body and all hers for the night. One night.
At that sobering thought, Arysa pulled Nuriko even closer and the playful look dropped from both their features. They embraced and Arysa guided Nuriko inside her and they made love.
Though Ayn had fought hard against the sunrise, nothing can stop time, and eventually she and Chichiri saw the first rays of the morning sun travel from the window to their bed.
"I love you Ayn," said Chichiri. "I don't want to lose you."
Ayn made a gurgling noise in her throat as tears again wet her face. It wasn't fair to be removed from him so soon! She held him tight and said "I love you Chichiri. I will never forget you."
"Don't forget me then, Ayn." Chichiri whispered as he looked down into Ayn's gray eyes. "Don't, because while I can't be in two worlds I will still be with you."
Ayn smiled. In her heart she knew that she would never find another man like the one she held now. She knew the memories they had made that night would have to last a lifetime.
They embraced tightly and as the sun filled the room, Ayn's presence slowly dissipated until Chichiri's arms were empty. "I love you." he said to the now empty room.
"Nuriko, I'll never forget you." Arysa said as she held Nuriko tightly.
"I could never forget you Arysa. I'm glad we met. I love you." said Nuriko lovingly as he stroked Arysa's blond hair back from her face.
"Oh Nuriko!" Arysa cried. "I wish we could be together in our world."
"Well maybe we are," replied Nuriko, "we never did speak about Terry."
Arysa froze and her eyes doubled in size. She couldn't figure out how Nuriko knew about Terry. Granted, they were similar in a lot of ways but was it possible?
Nuriko smiled and said, "I believe we've met before and found each other again. I can't otherwise explain how comfortable I feel when I'm with you. I have no regrets. I love you Arysa."
As Nuriko and Arysa kissed the sun rose and soon Arysa found herself back in her world.
"No regrets" she said.
Ayn was in the library, the book The Universe of the Four Gods seemed to have disappeared and she was frantically looking for it. She had to go back and see Chichiri one more time. She loved him so much. In her search for the book she tripped over a young man with wild hair struggling to get out of her way.
"No-dah," the stranger said, "are you new here?"
Ayn smiled. "I've been here for years, and you?" she asked.
"I've been waiting all my life." the mysterious man smiled charmingly and the two left the library, together.
Arysa was in her bedroom. Terry had awoken and seemed not much affected by being knocked out, which made perfect sense when you consider that Arysa was not particularly nice to him all the time.
"No regrets?" asked Terry. Her behavior tonight was awfully confusing.
"No ... hey you wouldn't mind if I dashed off and had a little fling in an alternate dimension right?" Arysa replied with a smile.
A bewildered Terry scratched his head and answered, "Dear, I feel so comfortable when I'm around you, and yet, sometimes you're so strange."
Arysa hugged her boyfriend. "I love you Terry." she said.
The End!
