Chapter 15: Dakishimeru (Embrace)
"Genro?!" Shinjitsu's words were just breaths as Tasuki grabbed her from behind. She gasped feeling his hand and arms around her, on her body. "What-What are you doing?!"
"Stop trying to get away from me." He held back the weakness he felt without her, a helplessness, and abandonment that made his heart cry her name. She then wilted over in his arms, her face falling forward, but he held her close to him. Tasuki's stunned reaction to her sobbs could have surprised someone close to him. Rarely was he this dazzed, this helpless. "...Genro..."
Her tears fell to the floor, and within moments Kibou, Kenjitsu, and Saiyko, knew she was crying.
*Shinjitsu--be strong--you can't give in now,* Saiyko told her friend.
*Shijitsu!* Kibou cried her friend's name. *Please don't cry!*
*Don't you dare surrender to the pain inside. You can't give into Genro!* Kenjitsu turned around and felt the pain of her friend.
Shinjitsu shook her head vigorously. *But I love him!!* She cried alound, and Tasuki turned her to face him. The star jewels on her chest lit up their faces.
"Kakusei--" The 17 year old man had been fighting a war against tears and desire for weeks now, suddenly he was losing. Pushing her to the wall behind her, he caught her chin, his hands warm against her face. "Stop this--stop using this new you to take you hurt away!!"
"Genro--"
"Damn it--stop!!!" He then picked her up and headed straight for for any private place he could find, any place where they would not be bothered for a while. He felt he'd die if he didn't have her soon. Even as she wept and struggled, her arms never let go of his neck. Secretly she wanted him just as bad as he did her. But she so afraid, a little girl with the body of a woman.
He was fed up with her stubbornness. He was sick and tired of waiting for her, sick and tired of holding back. With much strength he found the nearest room, it was what was called the Purity Waters. Only people who needed to purify themselves could use those waters, it was more like a pool with various water fountains and falls. Tasuki held her steady with one hand as he undressed himself with the other. She cried the whole time, but did not try to get away, only squirmed knowing what he wanted.
"Kakusei--" he murmered her name as he turned away and let her go. He stood completely nude, nothing covered his body, and he was not ashamed. Shinjitsu then stopped with her fusing and glanced at him. She felt her cheeks reddening. "I want you, again..." She wanted to run to him. "I thought that once I had you, I wouldn't feel this urgency anymore." He looked down at his hands. "I thought that once I had you, could touch you, then I wouldn't feel this alien heat in my body... I never meant to fall in love with you, but as fate should allow it--" a slight chuckle came for him mouth. "I did, and I won't let you pull yourself away from me so easily." With a confident grin he turned around to see a stunned, but bare women. Between the time he had turned away from her to the time he turned back, she had undressed herself. His smirk was gone, his faced flushed. A gasp came from his mouth when she let her hair down and walked up to him.
Her eyes melted into his. "Am I what you wanted?" She asked. Her noticed her eyes seemed more green then brown that moment, and he didn't not recognize the sensual hint in her voice. She smiled slightly. Something had changed her. This was not the Kakusei he knew. No. This was a women, not the girl he made love to before. "Am I," her lips brushed his as he froze, seemingly paralyzed in place as she put her hands on his chest. A sigh came from his lips, when her hands slid down his torso to where the heat was the hottest. "--the key to your desires?"
Shinjitsu lead him to the water, he followed, not far behind. Her hips hit the waters edge sending a circle of ripples outward. And then she was up to her chest in water. Still he followed. Parting the surface with her hands she was soon surrounded by the blueness. And still he followed, his trust and heart belonging only to her.
Beneath the surface they found one another, mostly falling their heart to the other, but also his character blinded her, and her gems him. Pulling themselves together he pressed his lips to hers.
*Genro--" Air escaped her lips. *I want you--too."
His mouth caressed her flat tummy. Together they were like a wild fire, a phoeonix meeting the fire for a new rebirth. He grew unsure of himself. *Did I force her, is she acting, is she doing this for me?* Backing away he pushed her slightly away from him. *Hang in there Wild Fire,* he said as he looked at her, even through the water that suspended them above the bottom of the clensing pools. After a moment and a breath of air, she looked back at him, the fire still burning in her eyes. She embraced him, her arms encircling his waist. After a few seconds, she then forced themselves together.
He cried aloud, but only bubbles came from his mouth. *Tasuki...* Her silent call to him was so soft and so forbidden that not even he noticed the pain in her eyes. Her hips moved over his and his eyes clenched tight. Never had he imagined such pleasure, such giving from one person. She had finally given herself to him, days previously, and she had entrusted him with the gift of her body, and as far as he saw, her innocence. And when he thought about it further, Tasuki noticed the absense of a hidden child inside of him, that had disappeared that morning they had coupled. Tasuki had realised that not only had she given herself to him, but he had given up any last connection to his youth, for her. *Remember this--Because this is the last time I will be with you.*
*Hmm!!* Tasuki's eyes flew open but she was gone, he had been left by the shallow end of the pool. Alone, again, but she was gone, so he really was alone...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenjitsu sat curled up on her bed, the sun peering through her window. *I should have known better, I shouldn't have been such a child.* A tear rolled down her cheek. *I knew very well that Tamahome loved Miaka, and only Miaka. But, I, I love him too.*
Somewhere in a place untouched by time and space, a man stood feeling abandon. *I thought it would be you and me, Hotaru (Firefly)... I thought that you would love me...*
She gasped when she heard the soft voice of the man she called Tenshi. But she had no time to react, because as soon as wanted to see the angel her name was said.
"Kenjitsu?" A voice asked. Kibou peeked in her friend's room, from the door way. Immediately Kenjitsu sat up, she wasn't about to let her friend see that she was losing her once strong personality. She was always the one to be strong, to allow a friend to cry on her shoulder, always the one who was the hero. And now she sensed she needed to be again.
"What's up?" She smiled a little and motioned for the younger girl to come in.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Of course!"
The two youong women sat down on the bed. Kenjitsu pulled all of her hair over her right shoulder, and listened intently to the words of her friend. "Hotohori--" Kenjitsu's eyes' searched Kibou's. *You're becoming more yourself, because of him. But I'm not complaining, I'll be gald once I get my friend back.*
"--and I, well" she hesitated, and her face flushed, "We were together in his counciling room, and somehow," she bit her lip, "We were about to have sex, but then--" Kibous clenched her fists, holding back her emotions. She always felt ashamed and weak after she cried, and had been trying to break the habit of being such a baby.
"Really--" Kenjitsu teased, and actual smile creased her rose colored mouth.
"That's not the point."
"Ahh... More? Go on."
"Nuriko--he saw us, before anything could happen." A grave sigh escaped her lips.
"Hmm..." Kenjitsu sighed deeply.
"And to think how much he's hurting right now, because of me--it just breaks my heart!" She looked to her friend for her reply. Kenjitsu saw the passion in her eyes, and desprately needed advice. She knew just how much her friend cared for Nuriko, she could understand, he'd always been like a big brother to all of them. Even to herself. The girl needed the strength of her friend, and without another word, she gathered her friend her arms.
"You must do what you're heart tells you is right, I can't make that desicion for you," she whispered soothingly. "Mirakuru--if you just look inside yourself and be strong, you will finally see the truth."
She began to cry in the arms of her friend, her very best friend, even closer than Nuriko had been to her. "Daikonsen--thank you. Thank you for always being there for me." Kenjitsu wished that her friend would be the one holding her, so that she could cry on her shoulder. Tamahome had hurt her, but part of her still clung to Tenshi. They both seemed to be in a love triangle. And right at that moment they only needed one thing: Each other...
Kibou then encircled Kenjitsu in her arms and they both cried, but knew soon they would be able to fully be happy, without consequences. But for now they just did what best frineds do, they held on tightly, and were there, no questions asked.
