"Yes Master Dilandau-sama"Kirei obediently nodded and stood to show her acceptance.
"Kirei..."Dilandau started, then diverted his eyes from Kirei's and looked away. He turned around and looked back in the mirror. He rubbed his scar, muttering "Chiku" and thinking murderous thoughts about Van. Kirei cautiously stepped forward, and even more cautiously put her hand on his shoulder. He turned to face her, and Kirei stumbled back nervously.
"Master..."She whispered.
Dilandau raised an eyebrow at her. "Nani?"
"Master.... I..."Kirei paused and sighed, shifting her gaze from Dilandaus garnet eyes, to the walls, the floor, anything but him. She knew that once she looked into them, he would be able to read her like a book. Her every thought and emotion would be played out for him to see, and she tried vainly to hide her feelings.
"Did.... did you really... ?"Kirei hid her face, and looked at her feet like they were the most interesting things on Gaea, while her cheeks flushed bright pink.
"Did I really what?"Dilandau said impatiently as he stepped forward and placed his hand on Kireis head, touching her baby soft hair, and smiling at the faint flowery smell that she constantly had about her.
She looked up, her heart stopping at the sight of Dilandau, smiling down at her, his eyes gentle, and his hand on her head. "You kissed me..."Kirei whispered. Dilandau nodded, and cupped her chin with his large hand, bringing her lips to meet his.
Kirei slipped her arms around Dilandau's neck and kissed him back. He pulled away from her. 'Always the dominant one' Kirei thought in amusment, he looked down at her, then kissed her forehead. He leaned his scarred cheek against Kireis head and sighed quietly, Kirei layed her head on his chest. She could smell him. He smelled bitter, yet sweet. Like wine, blood, and something underlying that. A soft cinamin smell. Comforting.
"Master"Kirei said in a tiny, childlike voice. He stayed silent, and Kirei took this as a sign that she should continue. "Master... I do not know what to think... you keep confusing me sire... please tell me something" She hated to break the ribbon that seemed to wrap around the two, holding them together and linking them, it was a moment she didnt want to let go of, but knew she had to...
Dilandau straightend and looked down at Kirei once more, his expression aprehensive. He let go of her shoulders and leaned against the desk behind him, watching her as she figited unconfortibly under his watchfull eyes.
"What is it Kirei?"
"Master Dilandau-sama... you have kissed me sire, and I feel so immensly happy... yet you keep me from my dearest friend, and that... that..."Kirei paused from lack of words, and wracked her mind for the right way to express her grief.
"That upsets you?"Dilandau offered.
Kirei looked up and nodded vigorously. "Yes... it upsets me... I know I have only been on the Vionne for less than a fortnight... and It is not my place to be making requests because I am, truly, your humble servant... but I would like to see him just once before I bring Van back."
(( yes, I called it the Vionne! lol! Okies, see I knew that one of the Dragonslayers was named Viole or Vione, and I wasnt sure, so I figured I had a fifty fifty chance of getting it right. Aparently I got it wrong!! *grins sheepishly* whoops, my bad! okies, Dilandau can slap me now *heh heh I WISH!!* ))
"Why do you want to see Chesta so badly?"Dilandau asked, as he tapped his fingers on the table, angered at the fact that she would want to disobey him, but pleased at her loyalty. Most others would just go ahead and do it, she asked permission. 'How very tempting... what a pretty expression she has on her face... so childlike and innocent... oh my dear, if you only knew what was in store for you' Dilandau thought in amusment, then felt remorse for an underlying thought that refused to surface and taunted him with its secrecy.
"I do not know sire... I miss his friendship... and do not wish to disobey you... but I would like to have a few moments with him... for reasons best left not said"Kirei explained quietly.
Dilandau cocked his head to the side, still frustrated by the thoughts swarming in his head. "What reasons?"
Kirei sighed "I want to say goodbye to him... I am worried he might not be with the Ryuugekitai much longer" she confessed.
Dilandau straightened and blinked a few times, thoughtfully, as he brushed his silver blue hair from his eyes. "What makes you think that?"
"I do not know sire"Kirei answered humbly, and then looked up at Dilandau.
"No"He said, short and simple.
"Nani?"Kirei sighed. "It is not my place to say this Master Dilandau-sama... but why sire?"She asked quietly as she looked into his eyes, searching for some truth in their guarded orbes.
"Because I do not like sharing"Dilandau smiled ruefully, then pulled Kirei into a pationate embrace, wishing with all his heart she wouldnt speak, as to ruin his moment of vounrability.
"....Forget him and his friendship. Concentrate on me, my pet... we could be beutifull together..."He whispered.
"Kirei..."Dilandau started, then diverted his eyes from Kirei's and looked away. He turned around and looked back in the mirror. He rubbed his scar, muttering "Chiku" and thinking murderous thoughts about Van. Kirei cautiously stepped forward, and even more cautiously put her hand on his shoulder.
