¤ Chapter Seven ¤

Momiji knew that she was back in the present by the flash cause TAC was near her. They gasped when they saw them reappear and soft land at their feet. He held her and looked down at her she jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck happy that he was alive.

He remembered dying yet then again he remembered the silver shield and living. It was as if he had lived through two moments. While he pressed Momiji to him he looked around and found Leis standing under a tree watching them both.

Kusanagi then understood what had happened. He nodded his head in Leis's direction. The Seurpuri smiled and then vanished.

Kusanagi turned back to the beautiful woman in his arms. He wanted nothing more than to share his life with her and it seemed that know he could do that. He heard her admit of love and remembered his own. It seemed as if she traveled back just to have him know it.

Daitetsu, Matsudaira, Ryoko, and the dragged Sakura said they would all stay and clean up the monsters remains. They told the rest of them to go home and then meet at the team building around one for a meeting.

Kusanagi picked up his tired love and leaped weakly into the air. Picking his way to his apartment.

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

Yaegashi and Koume drove back to her apartment and looking at Kusanagi and Momiji.

"I have a feeling that this vampire as horrible as it was… but it brought those two together finally."

"Yeah."

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

Kusanagi almost tipped over but was too giddy to worry about it. He brought Momiji back to his apartment and got out a first aid kit when he sat her down on the couch. He slipped off her coat, well really his coat that she had worn.

Momiji laid her head on the back of the couch tired and worn and in love. She opened her eyes and saw Kusanagi sit down with the kit. He patted the spot besides him and she moved over quickly to be by his side.

He produced a cream that would help soothe the bruising of a few bumps. They both knew that he was hurt more, but then again he was the one with faster healing abilities. When he was done he set the kit aside and placed an arm around her shoulders bringing her closer to his side. While Kusanagi watched Momiji picked up one of his hands in her own and removed the black glove that protected it. She started to trace the lines of his hand as he watched this shy creature explore.

He was shocked that she wanted his mitama hand pressed to her own as she fell asleep with his hand locked with her. He smiled knowing that he could once lay by her side.

He swept her up in his arms and took her to where the bed laid. He placed her down gently and removed his clothes till he had only his boxer shorts on again. He removed her shirt and pants to have her under things stay on. He had seen her naked plenty of times whenever he peeped outside her window but things would be different now… he would make sure of it.

He opened the covers and then placed her on the cool clean sheets. He got down and laid beside her. He wrapped his arm around her midriff and then set his chin in the crook of her neck so that they were both on their sides and sleeping tightly against one another. Momiji wasn't totally asleep and reached her hand to where Kusanagi's face was. She placed her hand on his cheek and sighed to have him turn his face to her palm and gently kiss her there. They fell asleep just like that.

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

It was morning and for once Momiji looked forward to it. She stretched out like a cat and felt Kusanagi's stomach pressed to her back. She turned over and looked at his sleeping face. She loved being by his side again. She knew that there was nothing that could hold them back now. She rested her hand against his neck where she could find his pulse quickly but quietly and then she leaned over and kissed him there relieved beyond the world that he was alive.

She quietly got up and decided to prepare breakfast and food for Anatal. She only had two hours until she had to leave to meet her friends at TAC.

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

Kusanagi reached out in his sleep to feel that Momiji had gone and that he was alone in the bed. He quickly opened his eyes thinking that maybe she had run from him, but then he smelled the sweet smell of pancakes cooking on the stove. He got up to follow his nose into the small kitchen where Momiji stood wearing one of his t-shirts unbuttoned. He grinned when he saw the flaps open and her body in view. He strolled closer while she hummed to herself.

He stood behind her and placed his chin on her shoulder and peered over her to see her work in progress. "Yummy, choco chip, me favorite." He said and scraped his teeth gently along her shoulder and onto her neck. She leaded back against him and wrapped her arms around his neck with the spatula in her hands but he pried her arms and turned her towards him.

He grabbed her hips and pulled her up to him so that he could give her a good morning kiss. Momiji stood on her tippie toes and pressed her lips firmly against his and almost made him stumble backwards but he caught himself. His lips were firm but yet soft at the same time.

When finished Momiji turned back to the food but Kusanagi took the metal instrument out of her hands and resumed cooking them himself from behind her. He laid his chin back on her shoulder and she leaned back against him as he continued cooking. She had an hour or so till she had to leave, but dear god she didn't want to.

When the food was ready Momiji lead Kusanagi by the hand to the table where he only had one seat waiting. There was syrup and butter and orange juice waiting for them as he sat down first and then when she tried to walk away he grabbed her and placed her firmly upon his lap.

He forked a mouthful into her lips and she leaned against the wall content with where she was. He watched as a sliver of syrup dripped it's way slowly over her lips and he only had one thing in mind. He leaned forwards and before she could question his motive he licked the spot clean off her lips and then tugged at her bottom lip gently with his teeth giving her no choice but to grasp his face and kiss him back.

"You taste so good… maple syrup… my little maple leaf." Kusanagi said against her lips and she giggled.

"I'm a maple leaf then?" And he grinned at her mirth.

"That's what Momiji means. You are my maple baby."

When everything was finished Momiji laid her head on his neck and traced the vain that she could barely see but with the help of her silver vision she could pin point his pulse exactly. She left her hand slide to his chest as she continued to kiss him deeply and then further down to his belly and there she found a fuzzy spot. Her finger slide slyly down his happy trail to the lining of his boxers. She laughed when he grabbed her wandering fingers and bit her palm of her hand.

She got up and cleaned their plates. He looked after at the swing of her hips and grinned. He leaned back with his head lain in his hands. Momiji came back.

"Hey day dreamer, it's almost time for me to go." He looked confused, "Ya know the meeting?" He nodded and stood up.

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

They walked to the TAC building not talking too much but holding hands all the way. "Momiji I think that you should go home afterwards and get a few things. You're going to be visiting with me for a long while." He grinned and she rolled her eyes but he continued at her look, "What? You don't want to visit with me, my maple babe?" He laughed as she swung her hand at him. He was finally wearing his own coat again.

But she became serious and stopped and pulled him beside her, "No I don't want to visit Kusanagi… I want to stay." He looked a little shocked but then nodded at her request and dragged her up close.

"I think that we're going to need a bigger place." He grinned at her knowing that he was teasing her.

"What are you talking about… my clothes don't take up a lot of room Kusanagi!"

"But you do." And he ran as she tried to hit him with her hand again.

"I do not!" She bumped into his chest when he stopped suddenly.

"Okay, okay, but I think that we definitely need a bigger bed. A small single has us wrapped on top of each other all through the night." Momiji blushed at this and said herself.

"Oh I don't mind." They would find an apartment later.

"Kusanagi are you going to come with me today and talk amongst us TAC people?" She said with a strange accent.

He saw a flash of movement in front of the TAC building and saw in the shadows as Leis watched them closely, "No I have some other things to attend to, but afterwards I'll come here and we'll go out for dinner and then you can head home to start packing some things… and then…" But Momiji silenced him.

"Slow down boy, I haven't even gone in for the meeting yet." She laughed at him.

"Momiji, don't leave here do you understand? I don't want to come here and find you gone." She rolled her eyes at his protectiveness.

"Alight I won't mommy." She headed indoor and received a smack against the buttock and she jumped and turned around ready to give Kusanagi the beating he deserved but he was gone. She rubbed her but mumbling some not so nice things under her breath.

.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.

Kusanagi headed towards Leis who was leaning against the tree with a smile.

"What are you smiling about?" He asked the Seurpuri.

"Oh nothing just a job well done." He said happily.

"Yeah, bout that Leis. I'm sorry that I haven't always treated you fairly but thank you for helping Momiji save my life." He was looking at the grass not wanting to face the fact that he was giving peace to the man he once hated.

"It's alright, besides I know what you have because I had it once too." He said and Kusanagi looked up into the cold blue eyes he saw.

"What? Someone in the future then?" He asked not knowing of who he spoke of.

"No someone from my past." With that Leis started to walk away but Kusanagi realized who he was talking about.

"Surely you don't mean Keiko, Leis." The man stopped and turned around with a nod of his head.

"Do you think that I wanted to leave her. I was in love with her, I wanted her to be a part of my life." He said angrily and sadly.

"Well then why did you leave her?" Kusanagi was prepared to hear the whole story now.

"I didn't have a choice. The god of all… of all time clipped my wings on the day that she was supposed to meet me by the falls and there I would confess my love for her."

"Why though."

"He said that love wasn't for Seurpuri's or angels that it would just mess up everything. So from a distance I watched her cry. My wings were clipped for three years after that and no matter what I wasn't allowed to approach the past that far back to see her or those moments we shared. But I did travel back many times to see her sing before we met, and after. I wouldn't dare travel into the future to see her wed someone else besides myself. I would have to die then." The man was no back in front of Kusanagi.

"You know she became famous?" Kusanagi asked concocting a plan in his head.

"Of course I know."

"Well why haven't you seen her then? She's touring in Japan right now." At this Leis looked at him sharply and turned away.

"So you didn't know that." Kusanagi's face frowned.

"Well I could get you tickets to her show…"

"No." He said firmly.

"Well why not." But Leis started to walk away not wanting to hear anymore of this torture.

"Hey wait a minute. Leis, you helped out Momiji and I… now let me help you out man!" Kusanagi ran after him.

"Well what if I don't want to?" He asked.

"If you hadn't wanted this you wouldn't have walked away Leis, you would have already disappeared into some other time." He looked as if he proved his point. The older man wanted so much to say something against that statement but bit his lips knowing that Kusanagi was right.

He looked at his hand where he held the chain with the ring that he had planned to give her when he would have asked her to marry him. He clenched his eyes shut and whispered to himself. "God I miss her so much. I loved her."

"So let me hook you up. Momiji and I will go with you. We'll take you to her concert and you can see her afterwards." Kusanagi looked at him hopefully.

It seemed like a certain happiness flowed into him but he shrugged it off.

Kusanagi could see that he was fighting against his feelings and became aggravated at him.

"Look, just think about it will ya? I believe you know where you can reach me when you know what your heart really wants." Kusanagi turned and walked away from the man that had angered him.

Leis of the Seurpuri angels held the ring and tipped it in the sunlight. He felt a tear come to his cheek but being an angel he shook it away and disappeared to think about Kusanagi's offer.

When Kusanagi turned back to look he was gone. "You don't know what you're missing." And went back to get Momiji.
