Tai entered quietly expecting Sora to still be asleep. But to his surprise she wasn't. The bed was empty. Tai was about to run out of the room and search for her when he heard the sound of water splash from the bathroom.
"Sora?" He called out as he knocked on the door. There was no response . He was becoming a little worried with the silence, so he opened the bathroom door and entered.
The small bathtub in the corner of the room was filled with water. His eyes went straight for the still form in the tub. Her eyes were closed and her head was propped on the tub's outer rim.
Suddenly her eyes opened and she jumped up.
"I'm sorry- I didn't mean to scare you." Tai quickly apologized to the girl who stood before him. His face flushed a bright red as he saw her naked form again. But this time she didn't look sickly or battered. In fact all the scars and bruises were gone.
"W…what? How did they… you don't have any scars anymore." Tai stammered. He came closer and touched her stomach- where a deep gasp had been only the day before.
"I healed the physical wounds." She plainly said as she stood looking at Tai. His eyes met hers as silence filled the room. Tai finally came out of his stupor and noticed he still had his hand on her. He pulled it away blushing.
Inside, his mind was rushing a mile a minute. Fighting with his body he struggled not to take the beautiful girl before him and claim her. He could feel his body loosing the war with lust. But it wasn't just lust he felt for her. There were feelings that had surfaced for her since they met.
Sheepishly he handed her a towel. She took it and wrapped it around herself. Tai helped her step out of the tub.
He left the room so she could dry off with out him watching her. Sitting down on his bed he sighed. Running his hands through his hair he then rested his head on them.
Without warning two hands began to massage his tense back.
He relaxed instantly. There was something in her touch that made him feel so good. She continued to gently touch his back. All is tension and stress left and he felt like he had no cares in the world.
"What are you doing to me?" He moaned with pleasure from her touch.
She stopped. "You don't like it?" She whispered sadly.
"No- it's not that- don't stop…" He sighed.
"You're really worried about something… am… am I the reason? Am I a bother to you?" She asked as she pulled away from him. "I'm sorry." She said in a voice no louder than a sad whisper.
"No, Sora… look at me." He said as he turned towards her. Taking his hand and pulling her head to look at him, he caressed her cheek.
The other hand wiped away the tear that had began to fall from her crimson orbs.
"Look at me." He repeated as he met her sad eyes. "You are not a bother in anyway… I know we only met yesterday, but it feels like I really know you… I know you've been hurt in the past by people, but I want you to… trust me. I would never let anyone hurt you. I think… I think I'm falling in love with you."
Sora didn't know what to say. She didn't exactly know what 'love' was, but it must have to do with the feeling they shared now.
Tai looked at the confusion that crossed her eyes.
"Sora… I want you to stay here with me, this can be your home. No one will hurt you ever…stay with me." He tried to clarify his words.
Suddenly a red blush rose on her face as she finally understood.
"You wish me as your mate?" She asked innocently.
Tai could only nod as he quickly found Sora hugging his chest. After a few minutes of silence Sora pulled away and looked up at him.
"If you wish it of me, I will gladly be your life mate." She added.
"Really? I mean… I don't want to force you- you really will stay?" He said almost not wanting to believe her. It was so sudden. He hadn't ever really thought that she would accept his silly request.
"I, how you said it, love you…" She smiled as he pulled her close. She sighed as she felt the feelings she had not been able to feel in years. She felt safe, protected and loved.
"Sora?" Tai asked a time later, not wanting to left her out of his embrace. They were both lying together in his bed. Sora's body curled up to his.
"Hm."
"Do you know why I had dreams of you before we met?"
"I'm not sure." She replied. "What were they like?"
"Just weird things- but you were always in them. Once you were a little child- your village must have been attacked… others were of you and what they did to you… Sora… did they.."
"Sh." She quieted him with a finger to his lips.
"In my race," she began, "only special bonds allow one's mate to relive memories… I use to call out mentally for someone to come… but I was always too weak. You must have heard them." her eyes began to water.
"I did?"
"That means we were truly destined to be…"
Tai held her as she cried tears of happiness.
"Sora- it's ok… if you want to talk about things, I'm here."
"Taichi… in my race life mates who find each other perform a rite to be bonded… you've seen my past- may I?" She brought her hands to his head.
"W-what are …?" Tai asked as she placed her hands on his temples.
"Bonding… I want to look into your soul and join mine to you…" He nodded his head, giving her permission to do what ever she was going to do. Closing her eyes she opened herself to his mind, sending a rush of energy through his body.
Instantly Sora felt the strong connection as she caught a glimpse into Tai's past.
His family, he had watched his mother's brutal death at a young age. The man who killed her was his father. A man who he loved and trusted, had taken his mother from him and almost taken his life as well. He lived a hard existence until he met up with his friends, the current crew of the ship they had. All the adventures he had as captain… the pureness of his heart made her love him even more. She continued to tie their souls together.
Tai couldn't explain the utter pleasure, the feelings she was creating. His gentle being was tingling as she explored his soul. He couldn't believe the feelings he had for her- he had, after all, only known her for a few days- but he felt that they had always been connected somehow.
It felt like she was making love to his soul- if that were possible. But he had to remember that she was a mysterious being and he really didn't know anything about her race. Maybe this was their way…
"Taichi…" She gasped as he started to unwrap the towel that covered her. His body was being pushed to the brink. He was only a man, after all. And yet he stopped his touches as he remembered what had been done to her.
"Taichi… please…" She whispered, still holding on to his head.
In his mind he could feel her. He was a little bit startled when she gave her permission to continue.
'I'll be gentle love.' He told her through the connection he had to her.
'I know… please. Taichi… show me what real love is.' She replied to his mind.
With his cloths discarded their bonding was completed as they were now mentally, spiritually and physically linked.
They spent the rest of the night together joined in bliss. Sora and Tai both experienced true love for the first time.
Tai's exhausted body collapsed onto Sora's. They were both sweating and their hearts were racing. His warm breath came out in puffs- as it wafted on her skin. She sighed contently as his hands resumed their gentle caress, while his lips kissed her neck.
Neither spoke as they stayed like that for several minutes before both drifting off to sleep.
