SINS OF EDEN

'A.D. 1849; Hokhaido'
"Honey, where are you?"
A woman dressed in a Kimono walked around the hallway of her home.
She looked for her husband, whom she hadn't seen all day.
"Ahnji? Are you here?" she said as she pushed the door to the small
dojo open. The air was wet inside, due to the recent rain showers.
It was completely dark, even at this hour in the morning.
Stepping inside with delicate steps, she saw a figure sitting in the
middle of the room, staring directly at the shrine.
"Ahnji?" she asked quietly as she stepped near her husband.
Ahnji was fixed on the shrine, not taking into account his wife.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she asked as she sat next to him and took his hand.
"You've been unusually quiet today."
He stirred, and returned the force of hand. "I'm just thinking, Buriko.
Just, thinking."
"I'm sorry. Do you want to be alone?"
He took anoher look at the shrine, then at his wife and grinned. "No."
Buriko looked at her husband, but smiled. "Breakfast is ready," she said.
He smiled back, and in one move, took her into his arms in a hug.
"Ahnji," she said as she returned the hug. "What's wrong?"
Ahnji buried his face deep into her bosom and hugged tighter, as if afraid
to let her go. "I love you so much."
Buriko became worried, but endured. "I love you too, but why are you being
so emotional?"
He removed himself and looked deeply into her eyes, smiling. "For so long,
it was your beauty that captured me. Please, remember that I will always
love you, no matter what."
She smiled. "Thank you. Those are wonderful words to say."
She leaned and kissed him deeply, which he returned very gently, as if
afraid to bruise the fine and golden skin of her.
Just then, a small cry was heard from afar.
Breaking the kiss, Buriko smiled. "Mikoto's woken up."
He smiled. "I will take care of her today. Please, take the day to relax.
I will be in charge of things for today."
Before she could answer, he got up and left the dojo, leaving her wondering
what had gotten into her husband today. Dismissing it as a good mood
from his part, she smiled and went to see as he took care of their
daughter.
*****
Two figures lay together in a warm afterglow of lovemaking. They were
laying naked and petting.
"You have been quite odd today. What was the meaning of today?"
Ahnji smiled and stroked her long, silky hair. "Nothing, just nothing."
"But I..." she began, but was silenced by his finger on her mouth.
"Shh. Don't talk. Let's just sleep."
Taking in the comfort he had always provided, sleep came quickly,
followed by dreams of her beloved.
It was midnight by the time Ahnji woke up. He stared at his wife,
deep asleep next to him, a smile on her lips. He slowly got up and dressed,
silently. Once he was dressed in his Hakama, he stared at her form.
He looked at her, ever so slightly covered by a small blanket. Her naked
breasts visible in the moonlight. With a smile, he bent dow and covered
her up, laying a small kiss on her lips.
"I love you, with all my heart, Buriko. I will love you until time comes
to an end. Please, be happy, my love."
He bent down and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Forgive me."
With slow steps, he made his way to the nursery. Once inside, he
peered at the small, wonderful creature asleep in her basinet. His
daughter, his precious, precious daughter asleep, dreaming baby
dreams. Only 10 months old.
He carefully picked her up and cooed her in his arms. Tears streamed down
his cheeks. "Make daddy proud, Mikoto. Grow up to be a fine woman.
I will always be with you." He kissed her cheek and put her back,
touching her face.
Slowly, he wiped his face and walked to the entrance. He opened the door,
walked out and closed it behind him. He looked to his right at the empty
street and ran, as fast as he could. Before long, he was facin the
entrance to town, with the forest path ahead of him. He took one more
look behind him, and sighed. He looked at the menacing road ahead of
him, knowing EXACTLY what he was to expect, and ran to it. Never looking
back as he was lost in the dark.

With a small yawn, Nui awoke in the dark. She looked around, at her watch,
which read to be near 2 A.M.
"Shin?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Here," came a soft answer near the window. She turned on the nightlamp
and saw he was staring out the window while smoking.
"You okay?" he asked, not looking at her.
"Yeah. I just had a weird dream."
"They say dreams are a window into the past life."
"Nice. Are you coming back to bed?"
"Yeah, in a minute. Go on, get some sleep."
Nui smiled and plopped back into the bed, falling asleep instantly.
Shin took another puff, still staring into the night sky, a small smile
on his lips.
*This is going fine. Just play your part out, Ranma, and all will be fine.
* he thought. *Just fine.*
